The magazine and body armor blocked the warheads flying at least 200 meters away, and at most it felt like a hammer through this phone book, not particularly fierce, and the few people who were hit did not even break a rib, nothing happened.

But body armor is a double-edged sword, and it is a burden to wear when you need to walk in the field at a distance, but it is suitable to wear during such a close-range defense encirclement mission.

Just like that special heavy commando, they usually train for unprotected assault operations, that is, to take their lives for dexterity and reaction speed: wearing an extra dozen kilograms of protective equipment will still have a great impact on the operation, even the most elite troops.

People, not machines, not to mention that machines still have load capacity restrictions.

More than 3,000 UNITA troops were annihilated in these two battles in a short period of time, and if this matter were made public, not only might it cause a sensation in the world, but the "joint forces" would definitely have a great reputation.

It's hard to say whether the reputation is good or bad.

As for UNITA, its prestige in Angola and the surrounding region will drop 100 percent!

Even if it's 3,000 pigs, it will take some time to kill!

Ten years ago, UNITA was in its heyday, there were only 60,000 miscellaneous troops, which would add up to less than 40,000 troops, and elite troops like the Shaolimu defenders were killed at the end of 15,000.

This trip ended 3,000 at once, and it was almost fatal to UNITA's position in Angola!

The 57-year-old UNITA chairman, Nonas Savimbi, quickly became like an ant on a hot pot shortly after receiving the report of the attack on the Sorim garrison: shortly after the report, he lost contact with Sorim.

As a last resort, Savimbi, who had not yet figured out what was going on in Sorimu, made a phone call to President dos Santos, an opponent of Angola for more than a decade, asking in a questioning tone why UNITA was being attacked.

As a result, Mr. President naturally became official: "Mr. President Savimbi, I can tell you very responsibly that the Angolan government army did not send a single soldier to Sorimu.

Since the signing of the peace agreement, SPLM has consistently adhered to the ...... of forming a democratic government"

When he hung up the phone, Savimbi still didn't know what was going on!

But Mr. President did not scold him, he had played guerrilla warfare for more than twenty years, and he looked like a strong, energetic, and rough appearance, like a standard African reckless.

In fact, he is not reckless at all, and even his academic qualifications are very high, with a bachelor's degree in medicine from a regular medical school in Portugal and a doctorate in political science from the University of Lausanne in Switzerland.

Savimbi, who has a lion-like head, is also fluent in three African languages and four European languages, a rarity among guerrilla leaders in the world.

What to do?

Having calmed down, Savimbi decided to give instructions to the garrisons of Karok and Lukapa, more than 100 kilometers away from Shorim, and asked them to send people to check on the situation in Saurim: the northeastern region was sparsely populated and the roads were in extremely poor condition, and those two garrisons were the closest to Saurim.

As a result, even bigger trouble came!

At the scheduled time of radio contact, the Karok garrison was in good order, and the only helicopter was to be sent to investigate, and while it was not raining heavily, a vehicle was also sent on the ground to Sorimu.

But Lukapa's side can't be contacted at all!

Savin is in big trouble than he feels!

Years of war and political sensitivities have made him aware of danger: perhaps the key point is not Shorim, but Lukapa!

For many years, UNITA had relied on smuggling diamonds and oil for military purposes, and his subordinates had reported the discovery of high-quality diamond mines in Lucapa, but during the conflict with the same American exploration company, several people were killed and the rest of the other side had left Angola.

It's not a small thing, but it's not a big deal.

Savin had been the head of the guerrillas for so long that he had only thought about politics, the regime, and allies, ignoring the possible threat of a foreign company.

He studied in Europe in his early years, and in 1986 he also visited the United States, and Reagan entertained him in Washington with the courtesy of entertaining a head of state.

Former U.S. Under Secretary of State for African Affairs Crick once praised "Savimbi for his world-class thinking."

Crick also wrote in his book: "It is difficult to describe this Angolan, and Savimbi is a combination of the qualities of a warlord, a tyrant, a politician and a statesman." ”

However, after 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, Eastern Europe has undergone tremendous changes, the Soviet Union is about to be completely finished, the Cold War is over, and the United States has completely lost interest in UNITA.

Worse still, political changes in South Africa and Namibia's independence from South Africa have deprived Savimbi of his former support.

But the good news is that the country is coming up with a general election next year, and Savimbi feels that he is right to encircle the cities from the countryside, and that he should win the election, and the presidency of Angola will soon be his.

A diamond exploration company has only killed a few people, not the people of De Beers, a former ally and now a friend, and the most they can do is lose some money and fight a written lawsuit.

He's the one who's going to be president, who cares about such a trifle.

Besides, the oil and diamonds are the lifeblood of UNITA, and the partners are basically Anglo American, so they can't deal with other small companies.

Now that a new diamond mine has been discovered, contact De Beers to discuss the mining.

……

Why is President dos Santos of Angola official?

Simple, a few hours ago, he received a personal phone call from the President of the Gambia, who had known each other before, who told him a message from a personal friend: his nemesis, UNITA, had torn up the agreement and killed a prospecting team of the "Star Sunshine" group, and now the boss of the group was so angry that he had sent a team to UNITA territory......

By the way, he told dos Santos what kind of company "Sunshine Star" is, as well as the identity and background of the boss, and by the way, conveyed the other party's hope to cooperate with the Angolan government at the right time to develop mineral resources and economic assistance, infrastructure investment and construction packages.

Is it peaceful?

Only a fool would believe that this will be peace in Angola, this is only because the backstage on both sides either falls, or because they feel that there is no interest after leaving, the two sides of the civil war have to stop and take a breath!

When you get your breath down, you'll have to fight nine times out of ten!

Dos Santos knew very well that Angola would be a barren place in the world that no one paid attention to, and even if a private company called for the first time, it would not attract much international attention.

Even if they do, no one will come out to administer justice: the United Nations?

By the time they reacted, the battle was over!

USSR?

It's almost gone!

United States?

Don't be funny, it's an American company that can influence the U.S. presidential election, and Washington's brain will only help itself deal with its own children.

Chinese?

That very angry guy is a Chinese at all, okay!

Now the focus of the world is on the USSR, in the Persian Gulf where oil wells are burning, in Yugoslavia, where blood is flowing!

Not Angola!

To be a man must be self-aware, Mr. President knows this in his heart.

Own government forces to support UNITA for national sovereignty?

International jokes!

Let's fight!

It's best to dry up UNITA!

Moreover, Mr. President knows that UNITA's combat effectiveness is not much worse than that of his own government army, which has lost 3,000 overnight, and only the most elite South African special forces have done similar feats during the civil war, and the scale is not so large.

With such an army, the other side has clearly shown its willingness to cooperate with its own government in the future, and only fools will fight.

……

UNITA is busy, anxious, SPLM is busy, and the "combined forces" in Lukapa are also busy: deploying posts, cutting off traffic, continuing to receive equipment, reinforcements, burying bodies, digging up bodies!

Since the burial site of the previous prospecting team was found, even if it had begun to decompose, the body had to be transported back: first, it had died tragically in a foreign land, and the body had to go home. Second, this battle must be fought with righteousness, and the dead company employees and the bodies that have begun to decay are righteousness!
