An inexplicable raid, an inexplicable retreat, whether it is the garrison or Zabi, is incomparably big.

Although there was no direct exchange of fire between the two sides, and there were no major casualties, Zabi still lost nearly a third of his men, all of whom were separated during the evacuation.

And the biggest thing about Zabi's head is that these guys were lost with weapons when they got lost, a third of them, that is, nearly thirty guns, not counting bullet grenades and other things, and plus other people's lost things such as magazines, bullets and the like, it can be said that Zabi's family wealth accumulated these days has been squandered.

Of course, compared to the losses of the garrison, those of Zabi were nothing at all, because of the misjudgment of the situation, the commander of the garrison abandoned the stronghold he had operated for many years, and brutally blasted the armaments that could not be taken away, so the losses of the garrison were even more heavy.

These losses included two high-powered gasoline generators, field kitchens, movie projectors, projection films, a large amount of ammunition supplies, and the local African villagers even came to buy zero yuan after the camp was blasted and the garrison retreated, they swept away those blankets and towels, and marching beds and other things, and even after zero yuan purchase, they did not forget to set fire to the wooden buildings in the camp, so that half of the entire Portuguese military camp was burned to ashes.

And this is only the loss of the garrison, in the hours when the garrison and police evacuated, the residents of the town also swept the police station, the town hall, and many colonial police homes, coupled with the indiscriminate artillery fire during the Portuguese counteroffensive, the entire town suffered losses are incalculable.

And the most embarrassing thing is that the loss of personnel caused by this raid, in the exchange of fire, the guerrillas killed a total of seven policemen and one garrison soldier, which is the entire loss of the whole battle, but when the commander reported it, he also added an additional note that seven garrisons were injured and eighteen civilians died, these unlucky guys were tricked in the counteroffensive at night, three of the seven garrisons broke their arms because they couldn't see the road clearly, and the remaining four were hit by stray bullets from friendly troops, And those civilians were unlucky to be bombarded with mortars.

As for the losses of the partisans? No one knew, but perhaps the garrison commander would have felt better if he had known that Zabi had lost a third of his men in the retreat.

The raid came to an end for the time being, and the colonial government later announced on the radio that they had successfully repelled a guerrilla harassment without any losses of their own, but killed and wounded dozens of guerrillas.

And Shepard was not surprised by the ending on the radio, he didn't know that the Portuguese had made a big fuss about themselves, and Zabi didn't know either, he was still depressed about the failure, and he sincerely hoped that Shepard would help him again.

"Of course I'll help, friend, but as the saying goes, it's better to give someone a fish than a fishing rod, I can help you this time, next time, next time, but do you want me to help you for the rest of your life?"

"I understand, but the current situation!"

"It's not too bad at the moment, you still have dozens of men, they just need a while of training!"

"I understand, it's better to do it in the future, it's up to you to decide!"

"How can this be!"

Successfully controlling the dominance, which made Shepard's heart bloom happily, but the surface work still had to be in place, and in the face of Zabi's pleading, Shepard repeatedly excused himself and talked a lot of scenes.

"You're the soul of this team, they should listen to you, I'm just a helper, that's not okay!"

"Come on, you can see my command, it's a mess, the brothers are just dying in vain with me!"

Zabi was really a little disheartened, and Shepard's repeated resignations made his trust in this Mr. Price a little more serious, after all, he was like this, and the other party still refused to accept it, it seems that the other party really wants to help him!

After repeatedly resigning three times, Shepard also agreed half-pushed, and even told Zabi very politely.

"That's not as good as this, I'll set the plan of action, but it's still up to you to announce to your people that doing so is not only good for you, but also good for me!"

Zabi also felt that it was more appropriate to do so, and immediately nodded in agreement.

As for the veteran problem that Zabi said, Shepard also couldn't ask for it, in order to pay attention to his appearance, he only proposed to help the other party train, but now, after Zabi took the initiative, he can rest assured and boldly mix sand into the other party's team.

A considerable number of the dozens of old men led by Sack were trained as mercenaries by François, so there was no problem at all for these people to serve as class commanders, as for the so-called loyalty?

The salaries of the guerrillas are all made by Shepard, so do you have to worry about this?

It is naturally impossible for a dozen veterans to fully control the guerrillas, after all, there are still a considerable number of people in the team who are Zabi's old team, but since Zabi has given up the command, Shepard naturally has a way to deal with it slowly.

In fact, as for the problem of the guerrillas, Shepard is extremely clear, such a team lacks too many things, and can only slowly make up for the lessons.

But before that, he had to set up a very good target to attract attention for himself.

And Zabi himself is quite good, the other party so boldly raided the border town, although it was unsuccessful, but it can be regarded as a severe blow to the prestige of the colonial government, this is the best propaganda.

So Shepard assigned Zabi the same task as before, allowing him to lead a group of old men to continue to fight with the Portuguese logistics and roads.

"If you want to counterattack, you have to have a qualified army, but it will take time, therefore, those recruits can be trained here, but you can't, my friend, you have to fight, go to the battle of throwing your head and face!"

Zabi did not have the slightest objection to Shepard's arrangement, in fact, he still felt very good, after all, before his blind command, the guerrillas did a very good job according to Shepard's instructions, and they did not make trouble for the Portuguese.

But Zabi didn't know that he had been able to succeed repeatedly before because the Portuguese army didn't pay attention to him at all, but since the raid, he himself has been remembered by the authorities!
