Speaking from the heart, Zabi Savimbi is one of the rare young talents in Africa, who has stood above almost 99 percent of Africans by virtue of his ability to win a scholarship from the colonial authorities and then study in Europe.

It can be said that if he turned to the colonial authorities and worked in the colony for a few years, he might even become a high-ranking figure in the colonial government, the kind of one person above ten thousand people.

And because of this, Zabi also has his own pride, because he found that he even crushed those high-flying white classmates in his studies, which gave him great self-confidence, and Shepard's words and deeds taught him repeatedly in the face of the Portuguese regular army, which also gave him the illusion that he couldn't win in the past because of tactical problems.

Zabi completely ignored the fact that in addition to the direct support from Shepard, he had a large number of surviving veterans, many of whom were educated like him, many of them even went to high school, and served in the colonial army, so their learning ability and quality were already much higher.

But later, as his fame grew, most of the people he recruited were just peasants who came with a lot of blood, most of these people were illiterate, didn't talk about shooting, and couldn't understand orders, and this was the deadliest on the battlefield!

And these things, Shepard did not mention, nor did Zabi's subordinates, nor did he pay attention to them.

After setting the date for the chosen target, Zabi immediately embarked on the path of resistance with his team, which was several times larger than before.

He has firm confidence in the success of the plan, and this seemingly majestic and elite guerrilla team is also full of confidence in this, after all, it is different now, before there were three people with one gun, many people did not even have clothes, and now, each person has at least one rifle, dozens of bullets on his body, a kettle and a compressed biscuit, it can be said that the guerrillas have been reborn!

In terms of marching planning, Zabi also tried to refer to Shepard's plan, such as avoiding dangerous areas and choosing sparsely populated areas as much as possible, but the problem was that Shepard's team was a small-scale operation before, and it would not make a difference if a team of less than twenty people traveled between dense forests and swamps.

And now, he led a team of hundreds, such a team lined up in a column, each with an interval of one meter would be more than two hundred meters long, and the speed of walking through the swampy forest would be greatly reduced, plus additional supplies, it would not be able to achieve the effect of Shepard's light and simple car.

But fortunately, Zabi is a responsible leader, he always pays attention to the marching situation of the team, and constantly runs back and forth to cheer his subordinates, so although there are many problems during the march, at least there is no major chaos.

But then came the problem, it was not impossible for an armed team of hundreds of people to hide in the area of popular activity, but Zabi really couldn't do it, and his team soon came into contact with several hunters who were hunting in the forest.

And Zabi didn't screen these hunters or control each other, but he enthusiastically stepped forward to greet each other, and in order to win the hearts of the people, he also enthusiastically sent canned food to his fellow villagers.

After receiving the cans, several hunters turned around and reported the whereabouts of the guerrillas to the colonial police, although because of problems in the transmission of information, the colonial police and the garrison did not take the so-called guerrillas' whereabouts seriously, but the garrison commander still issued an order to guard all his strongholds.

After that, the team continued to have problems, some people fell behind due to night marching, and some people mishandled their weapons and caused them to go off, but fortunately, the team stumbled and marched to the outskirts of the target.

Zabi then began to assign tasks, dividing his team into three parts, one to cause bombings on the road outside the city to attract the Portuguese garrison, the second team to feint on the police station to attract attention, and the third team to follow him to attack the telegraph office.

It can be said that Zabi's plan is very good, if everything can be strictly executed, then success is actually very simple, but the problem is the person who executes the plan!

The first team responsible for attracting the Portuguese garrison went very smoothly at first, they used a roadside bomb to blow up one of the garrison's trucks, killing the big fat pig on board, and capturing the hapless driver alive, and successfully attracted the Portuguese regular army patrol, and then the first team began to try to lure the Portuguese patrol away while firing guns indiscriminately.

Then, disaster struck!

The veterans in charge of the operation found that they could not effectively transmit orders to the recruits, and the battle fought while retreating inexplicably turned into a rout, and the panicked recruits began to retreat in other directions, and some even turned around and ran headlong into the guns of the Portuguese.

However, the Portuguese army was overjoyed by such a chaotic situation, and the garrison commander thought that this was the full strength of the guerrillas, and even sent his own men to pursue it.

The second team that attacked the police station was a complete disaster, and within five minutes of the veteran in charge leading the team into the city, a third of his men were scattered, and a few recruits who had relatives living in the city even ran to visit relatives and friends with weapons on their backs.

Fortunately, there were still two-thirds of the people in the ranks, and the veterans, according to the tactics they had learned, first assaulted with a rain of grenades, bombed the colonial police, and then took the lead in charging with their men.

The unsuspecting colonial policemen were dazed by this round of attacks, and then the policemen began to abandon their weapons and equipment and flee in all directions, according to the order, after breaking up the police station, the second team should stay here and wait for the evacuation order, but many guerrillas saw the police scattered, spontaneously began to pursue, so after the captain of the second team rushed into the police chief's office, he found that the remaining two-thirds of the people were gone, and they scattered all over the city, looking for those policemen.

As for the three teams led by Zabi himself, it was okay at first, and it took less than a few minutes for the partisans to storm the house of the telegraph office and occupy it, but then the problem came.

When the three teams were attacking, the guerrillas shot indiscriminately and destroyed the only radio station in the telegraph office, that is, Zabi's plan failed!
