Chapter 132: The Decisive Battle of Lumikar (2)

"Yes!" Everyone stood up in unison.

In the end, the Fifth Army sent the third division, which had relatively poor combat effectiveness, to attack the town of Lomala, and although the third division had poor combat effectiveness, it was still not a problem to deal with the Portuguese army of more than 2,000 people and the servant army of more than 2,000 people in the city. Besides, it is only a siege and not an attack.

At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the Portuguese had actually entered the noon lunch break early, and the servant army standing guard on the city wall also fell asleep against the city wall, and Dulabo personally led all the forces of the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Fifth Army to bypass the town of Lomala and set up an ambush on both sides of the road where the Lumikar Portuguese reinforcements passed. The chief of staff led a large force to the west, detouring 10 kilometers towards the back of the city of Lumikar.

And the commander of the Fifth Army also personally led the third division to encircle the town of Lomala.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the 3rd Division of the Fifth Army launched an attack on the town of Lomala from four directions, and suddenly the gunfire was so loud that the Portuguese and servant troops in the city were awakened one after another, and they hurriedly got up from their beds, took up their weapons and rushed to the city wall. Watariya, the commander of the Portuguese regiment, hurriedly put on his clothes, took his pistol, and ran towards the door.

As soon as he walked out the door, he found his servant corps leader running towards his office. Hurriedly stopped and asked, "What's the matter, who shot the gun?" ”

"Colonel Alexand, there are gunshots all around our town. I guess ******** people called. The number of people is still quite a few around 10,000. The servant corps commander replied:

"What, you're saying we're surrounded by ******** people. There are more than 10,000 people. The Portuguese head of the regiment asked in astonishment:

"Yes, sir, hurry up and ask Lumikar for reinforcements. If it's too late, we'll all be corpses, and dozens of artillery pieces are also tilting ammunition at us. The servant legion commander said with a sad face:

After listening to the words of the servant commander, the Portuguese slapped the servant commander in the face and said, "If you don't take your men to the wall below the enemy's attack, I will go and ask for reinforcements." ”

The servant legion commander was suddenly flashed with gold stars. But he didn't dare to be angry, so he could only nod and say, "Yes!" Be! Be! I'll lead my brothers to resist the invaders. Then he ran out with a crawl.

At this time, the Portuguese regiment commander picked up the phone, quickly shook the handle of the phone, and said, "It's the Lumicar General Headquarters." I am the defender of the town of Romala. We were attacked by one of the opposing divisions. The other side also used heavy artillery to request reinforcements. ”

Commander Lumikar on the other end of the line said, "Colonel Kapolun, you must hold on, reinforcements will arrive in fifteen minutes." Be sure to hold on. ”

"Yes." Colonel Kabo hung up the phone and ran towards the city walls.

The commander of the Portuguese army who was far away in Lumicar also urgently gathered his subordinates, and for a while the whistle sounded in Lumicar, and a large number of Portuguese with steel helmets swarmed out of the barracks and drove to the playground to assemble.

The commander of the Portuguese army ordered loudly in the language of birds that only the Portuguese could understand: "The 6th and 7th Divisions remain here, and the 5th and 9th Divisions will set out with me to reinforce the town of Romala." Let's go! ”

The last time Liu got into a legal car, he waved his hand: "Let's go!" "Two divisions of Portuguese troops followed one after another out of the city of Lumicar. Run towards the town of Romala.

At this time, there was still a loud gunfire outside the town of Lomala, and the sound of explosions was continuous. If it weren't for Colonel Kapo's panic at this time, he would have found out that the African People's Army under the city did not attack the city wall, but just lay on the ground and fired and fired at the city wall, and the most ferocious thing was hundreds of light and heavy machine guns. and the sound of artillery fire.

The Portuguese of Lumical were almost reaching the town of Lomala after ten minutes of rapid march, and when the commander could hear the sound of gunfire coming from the town of Lomala in the distance, he ordered the Portuguese army behind him: "Speed up the march at once!" Fast! The Portuguese GIs behind them picked up their pace again.

Durabo saw the lights of the Portuguese car in the distance from the telescope, and ordered: "Check the weapons and prepare for battle!" "The soldiers of all divisions, regiments, battalions and companies pushed bullets into the chambers of their guns, and the grenades pulled out the safety rings!

After all the Portuguese entered the ambush circle, Dulabo took out his golden pistol and fired a shot into the sky, and the soldiers of all divisions heard the gunfire and opened fire one after another, and the light and heavy firepower of the divisions on both sides of the road opened fire at the same time, which caught the Portuguese army by surprise! However, as the main force of the Portuguese army stationed in Mozambia, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is still quite good, and the commander's command ability is also good.

The ambushed Portuguese troops immediately dispersed, attempting to counterattack on favorable terrain. But they met the African People's Army, which was almost equipped to the teeth, and he met the Red Police-born Durabo, at this time, the machine gunners with few dozens of light and heavy machine guns in the Portuguese army were given special attention by the artillerymen and snipers, and at this time, the field of vision was very wide during the day, as long as the chain of fire from the Portuguese machine guns leaked them, the snipers followed the tongue of the machine guns and killed the machine gunners of the devils one by one, and the Portuguese mortars were too few in number, Many of the artillery deployed by the opposing target could not be effectively suppressed. Once exposed, the end is similar to that of the machine heavy.

An hour later, as Durabo had expected, the Portuguese army that had come to reinforce was completely annihilated, capturing tens of thousands of rifles and a large amount of ammunition. I have to say that the fighting power of the Portuguese is not very strong, and when they encountered an ambush in broad daylight, they immediately panicked. Although the machine-gun fire was suppressed, they did not form an effective counterattack posture, and although the commander had good command ability, they caused more than 200 casualties to the African People's Army. It is conceivable that if this battle was held at night, I am afraid that these Portuguese troops would not have to be in a mess, and the whole combat effectiveness was too different from that of Britain, France and Germany. Even the garrison in the country is a lot higher than them. Then Durabo was relieved when he thought about it, and he must have been relieved that the Portuguese army had not fought against a first-class power for hundreds of years.

At the same time as the fighting was raging on Durabo's side, the 1st Division of the 5th Army launched a real attack on the town of Lomala, breaking through the town of Lomala at almost the same time as Durabo annihilated the Portuguese reinforcements, and capturing more than 1,000 Portuguese and more than 1,000 servants. And the entire participating troops suffered almost a hundred casualties.
