A surprise battle ended inconclusively, with both sides losing dozens of casualties, and then broke away from the battle line.
Such a casualty ratio makes the PCs quite dissatisfied. After all, with a solid defense line and roundabout tactics, they can still have casualties of 1:15. This is really embarrassing for the Shadow Company PCs!
You must know that the black uncles who were also trained, the black uncles of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, performed outstandingly in the Angolan civil war. A trained battalion penetrated the Angolan army's defense line in one day, forcing the Cubans to fly a plane to attack them. They rout.
But soon Allen knew the whole story. Upon seeing this, a reckless commander directly ordered a pursuit and sent a wave of people to death. On the contrary, the black uncles trained by Shadow Company were squatting behind the defense line.
But Habré is quite satisfied with this exchange ratio. After all, he now controls the elite area of Chad and has inexhaustible manpower.
He would even be happy to trade three for one or ten for one. After all, the people of Gukuni are eating sand in the desert and have no way to replenish their manpower. But he is different. There are as many strong men as you want!
Therefore, if human life alone can stop Gucuni's harassment, Habré will be very happy!
However, Shepard would definitely not accept this idea. As for destroying the sign, what Shadow Company wants is wisdom, not recklessness. Otherwise, why would he still be setting up a think tank?
While the PCs were training the soldiers under Habré, the former military officers from the Shadow Company think tank were also busy day and night. These officers from the army, navy and air reserves may not necessarily be able to fight, but they have all received a lot of military theoretical study , many of them are even teachers in military academies. Their job is to establish a military management system for Habré, including mobilization mechanism, logistics management, weapons management, etc. These things seem to have no sense of existence, but any one The army is indispensable. .net
Especially the perfect mobilization mechanism. When a war breaks out between two countries that split into the Soviet Union, the reason why there will be a shortage of troops is because it has abolished its own mobilization mechanism. The reason why Israel has been able to fight in many Middle East wars A complete mobilization mechanism is indispensable for quickly responding to multiple sieges.
So, this is also part of strengthening Habré!
In turn, this is also Shepard's attempt. After all, this is their first time doing something like this. They don't have to worry about anything going wrong when using Uncle Hei as an experiment, not to mention that the other party has to thank themselves.
Therefore, throughout the second half of 1984, Shadow Company, like hard-working farmers, began to patch up Habré's regime.
On the one hand, Shadow Company has established multiple small strongholds on one side of the Line of Control. These strongholds are generally built around rare green spaces and water sources. The Black Uncles use local materials and adapt to local conditions, using a small amount of explosion-proof weapons purchased from Shadow Company. Walls and a large amount of sand were used to build a stronghold that could accommodate a squad. It contained enough food for a squad for seven days and basic spare ammunition.
These strongholds are built quite thickly, and there is no problem in resisting bullets and carrying a few rocket launchers.
However, the mission of these strongholds is not to block the enemy. They are only used for surveillance and warning. There are deep buried telephone lines between the strongholds to communicate with each other.
Behind these strongholds, closer to the city and highways, is Habré's main force. These are all soldiers from his tribe, all equipped with American weapons. In addition, they have about a hundred vehicles. Pickup trucks are available in various styles and from various sources.
The strongholds in front are on alert for Gucuni's harassment. If it is a small-scale attack, they will not be able to break through the stronghold in a short time. If there is a large-scale invasion, then these small strongholds will definitely not be able to withstand it. They will issue warnings while retreat.
This is the reason why there is no excess ammunition stored in the stronghold. Each soldier can be allocated an average of three magazines. After shooting these bullets, they will be worthy of General Habré's military salary, and they can either escape or surrender.
But forget it if Gukuni wants to rely on this method to obtain supplies. Not only will his large army gain nothing at the stronghold, but they will even be attacked by quick reaction troops equipped with pickup trucks later.
The driving performance of these pickup trucks in the desert is very good, and the PCs themselves are using them, and because Habré has many oil fields, fuel is not a problem.
As for whether the driver is adequate, the desert is so big anyway, so black uncles can drive wherever they want without worrying about any problems.
Relying on this move, Gukuni's harassment failed to have any effect in the next six months.
Because his harassment was intended to disrupt Habré's rhythm and prevent him from completing internal suppression and integration. However, Habré's move made Gucuni's fist hit the cotton.
Gukuni's Vulcan Army launched several small-scale probing and harassment attacks within half a year, but all failed. They only had rifles and few rocket launchers on hand, because Gaddafi had no intention of Gukuni. Ni's funding depends entirely on his mood. If he is in a good mood, truckloads of ammunition will be sent there. If he is in a bad mood, the people of Gukuni will not even have enough to eat.
As for large-scale offensives, the Vulcan Army has also organized a hundred-man-level raids that successfully destroyed several outposts, but the soldiers could not find many usable supplies inside. There was even a squadron that used the weapon to conquer a bunker. Thousands of rounds of ammunition and a dozen rockets were dropped, but less than twenty loose rounds of ammunition were seized.
Not to mention food. The only supplies available in these strongholds are compressed biscuits and dry naan bread. Meat and vegetables all rely on evacuation. Because there is no refrigerator, even cans will deteriorate under high temperatures. As for those that can be stored There are some canned and dehydrated vegetables on some days, but Habre will definitely not prepare them for his cannon fodder. His direct descendants can only eat one meal of meat a week, so there is no need to think about anything else!
The number of soldiers in Gukuni's Vulcan Army who lost combat effectiveness due to supply problems was almost equal to the number during the battle. Even Gukuni himself became embarrassed because he did not get enough vitamins.
And his hundred-man-level offensives would soon fail and collapse under the siege of a large number of Pika troops. The size of the Vulcan Army could originally be maintained at around 5,000, but after more than half a year of consumption, Gucuni's side There are only a little over three thousand people.
This made Gucuni even more anxious and angry, constantly urging the Libyan army, hoping to improve the situation with the help of allies.
