"Well done!"

In fact, the paratrooper company commander could not have imagined that the place where Zabi was staying was actually only 200 meters away from him, under a nondescript cowshed, and the guerrillas dug up a full few square meters of space underneath it, and then used it as a headquarters.

And there are dozens of such rooms in the whole village, which are usually used as warehouses for the villagers, but now, these rooms have become cantonment rooms, weapons depots, medical stations, headquarters and canteens, and there are passages between each room, and these passages are not only carefully disguised for the exit in order to prevent the Portuguese army from entering, but also many details are set up inside, such as traps and observation holes, and such passages connect not only the village, but also several passages that wind for nearly a kilometer and extend directly into the field outside the village, Just after the encirclement line of the commander of the garrison.

Of course, although the tunnels are very convenient, Zabi's subordinates can't use them too skillfully, but fortunately, there are more than a dozen mercenaries, and these mercenaries have been streamlined by Shepard after changing their doors and joining the Shadow Company, and those who are the most skilled in skills and tactics have been retained, and they are responsible for the wet work for Shepard with Zack.

And most of the people who caused damage to the paratroopers were these guys, they abandoned all the cumbersome things on their bodies, and even moved in the tunnels shirtless, each carrying at least two submachine guns, and they attacked very decisively, turned around and ran after the bullets, and did not give the paratroopers a chance to fight back at all.

Although nearly a third of the village's buildings had been blown up by Portuguese paratroopers, this did not prevent them from maneuvering through the tunnels, as these exits were not only in the rooms, but also under the barns, wells, and even the humble earthen tables.

And when the entire company of paratroopers went deep into the village and was slow to move forward due to lack of ammunition, Zabi knew his chance had come.

"Wait, wait!"

He looked at his watch, at this moment the Portuguese paratroopers had been fighting continuously for nearly three hours, most of them had only eaten a little biscuit in the morning, and their physical strength was exhausted at the moment, coupled with the scorching sun at noon, so the paratrooper company commander could only order his subordinates to stop.

This is the time that Zabi waited, and then the raiding team led by the mercenaries began to reach the exit along the various passages, and after confirming that it was safe near the exit, the guerrillas and mercenaries crept out of it, and then began to backstab the paratroopers.

A Portuguese non-commissioned officer was leaning against the wall and pouring water into his mouth, and as soon as he put down the kettle after taking a big sip of contentment, he saw a round head of a black uncle emerging from the corner of the wall opposite him.

"Enemy!"

The non-commissioned officer shouted warnings, and immediately dropped the kettle to grab the gun, but Uncle Hei's movements were faster, several rifles poked out from behind the wall, and the paratroopers resting in the courtyard were reduced by three people on the spot, and the paratroopers hurriedly began to counterattack, but a few grenades flew out from behind the wall, and the group could only hug their heads and dodge in all directions.

For a while, the whole village was like a plague, I don't know how many black uncles emerged from it, and then relied on their familiarity with the terrain to begin to attack the paratroopers who were resting, the latter hurriedly responded to the battle in a panic, although they were once beaten by the black uncles extremely embarrassed, but after coming to their senses, the Portuguese soldiers immediately showed their combat qualities, fiercely fought back against the black uncle who sneaked up, and immediately killed and injured many people.

And the black uncles are not in love with war, and seeing that they can't get the sweetness, these guys immediately began to throw grenades indiscriminately, and then quickly retreated, returning along the way they came.

The Portuguese paratroopers followed closely behind, and although they failed to catch the tail of the other party's escape, they still caught a few wounded who could not escape.

And these guerrilla wounded are also extremely tenacious, even if they are besieged, they still use up their last bullet, and some people leave a grenade, which is detonated when the Portuguese soldiers get close to capture them, and some people are captured alive after running out of ammunition and food, but no matter how the Portuguese soldiers torture, he still does not say a word, but looks at the abuser with a mocking expression, and the Portuguese can only pull him out and shoot him in anger.

And this surprise attack added a double-digit attrition to the paratroopers, although most of the black uncles were not good marksmanship, but they at least knew how to make up for it with automatic fire, plus the same deadly grenades, so the gap in training between the two sides was closed at this moment.

The commander of the paratrooper company had already retreated at this moment, and he preferred to raze this place to the ground with artillery rather than use his elite men to exchange them with the guerrillas, but the garrison commander did not think so.

"Those guys are just running around in the tunnels, and if we find out the hole, they won't be able to do anything!"

He also sent a part of the infantry to help, so the paratroopers had to abandon their existing starting point and withdraw to the place in the morning to begin a repeat of the AB area.

During this time, there were also snipers from the CD area who fired at them from the rooftops, most of these snipers were equipped with optical sights, which posed a great threat to the Portuguese soldiers, and even hit a paratrooper platoon commander like a blind cat killing a mouse.

But fortunately, the infantry was very powerful, and in the face of the attack from the snipers, they directly and neatly used mortars to return fire.

As a result, these harassments soon disappeared without a trace, but there was still no improvement in the tunnels, and the guerrillas not only carried out a lot of cover-up at the entrance of the cave, but also made a lot of fake tunnels, and these tunnels were also very secretive, so the Portuguese army even had to screen the tunnels after discovering them, so as not to waste ammunition in the fakes.

And although they found a few tunnel openings, when the paratroopers entered it and tried to clear it, they were ambushed by the guerrillas, and some people were even buried in it by the guerrillas with explosive bombs, so the Portuguese army entered a dilemma with great pain, whether to continue to clear the tunnels or not to continue?

"Go ahead!"

The paratrooper company commander felt as uncomfortable as eating at the moment, he never expected that his troops would be in such a difficult place with no name, although the number of casualties in his company was only in the single digits, and it didn't seem that there was much loss, but this kind of bad combat environment was the most serious blow to the morale of the troops, not to mention the field ambulance station that was already a little nervous at the moment.

"We have to keep fighting, or they will cause even more trouble in the future!"
