That night, with the support of the newly arrived A60 wheeled armored vehicles, Hannibal's planned counterattack began again at 12 o'clock in the evening.

Although he had suffered a heavy loss in the night battle, Malashenko still did not withdraw his troops guarding the east side of the airfield, on the contrary, he tried to send the few fighters at hand to try desperately to hold the position.

The anti-aircraft guns that were forced to move their positions before did not care about the threat of armored vehicles at the moment, and the soldiers of the SPLM dragged people and pushed them to the high ground with great difficulty on their shoulders, and then continued to fire at the direction of the line of fire with anti-aircraft guns, trying to suppress the charge of the Shadow Company.

And the three 120mm mortars continued to fire heavy shells as if they didn't want money, trying to stabilize the defensive line that seemed to be crumbling in the wind.

Although Malashenko used almost all the forces at his disposal, the Shadow Company's counteroffensive also used all its strength, all the vehicles of the new Yunda were thrown into battle, and the mortars were firing at full speed, in addition to ordinary high-explosive shells, Hannibal also fired dozens of incendiary bombs and white phosphorus smoke grenades at the SPLM's defensive positions.

The blazing flames lit up almost half of the sky, and the SPLM's position was like a melting pot, into which Malashenko threw a squad, and in less than ten minutes all the people died, and threw in a reinforced platoon, which became a squad in less than an hour.

Although the white phosphorus smoke bomb is also called a smoke bomb, the white phosphorus contained in the composition burns the skin and internal organs of the SPLM soldiers, and many of the wounded often die in combat positions before they have time to be treated.

In the two-hour attack, the Shadow Company did not even launch a real charge, and each attack team was almost just a huge feint, only letting the defenders see the figures, forcing Malashenko to constantly put the people in his hands into it little by little.

And Malashenko didn't dare to bet, after all, if he didn't add fuel to fill in, the opposite side would inevitably launch a fierce attack and encircle and annihilate his own troops with superior forces, so at this moment, although the refueling tactic is tantamount to drinking to quench his thirst, Malashenko has to use this tactic, after all, there are casualties, and they can be replenished, if the position is lost, it may not be able to be recaptured.

But this refueling tactic has also come to the last step after several hours of attrition, and Malashenko has to think about more than just the loss of positions, if the last reserves he has at hand are also added, then he will not even be able to defend his current headquarters.

And while he was still hesitating, Hannibal made a choice for him, and the detachment attacking the airfield complex on the east side was partially drawn by him, and then, under the cover of 0 armored vehicles, killed his headquarters and artillery positions.

At this time, Malashenko could only order the defenders to retreat with great pain, and the mortars and anti-aircraft guns that provided fire support for the airfield also shifted their targets and began to launch fire interceptions against the attacking forces of the Shadow Company.

Relying on the powerful flat-fire fire of the 37mm anti-aircraft gun, the Shadow Company's attacking troops finally did not dare to approach Malashenko's artillery position, and only withdrew into the shadows after some movement on the edge.

However, the position on the east side of the airport was eventually lost, and after reluctantly withdrawing from the few combat troops, the Shadow Company P-men easily recaptured the defensive position they had abandoned two days earlier, and before the flames under their feet were extinguished, the commander of the Apple detachment planted the company flag brought by Shepard on a two-story warehouse in the east side of the complex.

After retaking their positions, the Shadow Company P's began to rebuild their defenses without resting, the sandbags they had dug up the airfield dirt were filled into the gaps in the buildings, the machine gun fortifications that could be reused were reused, and the broken walls were blocked with barbed wire and mines.

The unwilling Malashenko did not forget to cover the eastern side with a burst of firepower, so the punks were busy until the sun rose.

Then, everyone didn't care about the blood flowing here last night, and just found a comfortable place to sleep in the scorched earth, but fortunately, Lieutenant Colonel Charlie Matt was a well-informed person, and he sent his men to the position to help the tired Shadow Company employees clean up the battlefield.

"I have to admit that I underestimated you yesterday! I've just been on the battlefield, and I have to say that your men are just as tenacious as my men!"

"Thank you very much, but we are facing the soldiers of the People's Liberation Movement who are not very strong in combat, and then there are elite troops from Cuba, and at that time, we may still have to rely on you!"

"Let's work together, the Cuban Airborne Forces are not as powerful as we thought! Surely they will be able to defeat them!"

Charlie Matt was a lot happier when he was praised by Shepard, but the old guy still had a heart and was not led by Shepard's compliment.

For Charlie Matt's sake to help his subordinates clean up the aftermath, Shepard returned the two mortars that were detained by Hannibal yesterday, he has always been a person who will repay his kindness, and Shepard's initiative to show favor made the two sides a little less estranged, Charlie Matt even merged his own command and the Shadow Company together, although everyone fought independently, but it was a joint command, which can be regarded as progress!

As for the Cuban paratrooper battalion, which was supposed to arrive today, Shepard waited all morning, but he didn't see a single hair, and just when he thought it was a mistake in the intelligence, the scouts came to report that a convoy appeared on the north side of the airport.

This caught Shepard off guard, and he hurriedly jumped into the jeep with the others and rushed over, and then saw that the Cuban paratroopers had already launched an offensive formation.

"These guys, they don't rest at all?"

Grabbing the binoculars, Shepard looked at the armored vehicles and military cards that had become dirty due to the forced march, and he understood what faith meant, but that didn't mean that the commander had to ignore the state of his subordinates.

Regardless, the Cuban paratroopers who had just entered the country and were eager to launch an attack were an eye-opener for Shepard.

And the military literacy of those Cuban paratroopers should not be underestimated, but in terms of the most basic infantry tactics, they are already higher than those Anrenyun soldiers, I don't know how many Wallaces, and even compared to those veterans of the Shadow Company, they are not bad, and even slightly better!

"It's not what I want to see when I meet this kind of opponent!"

Shepard suddenly felt uncomfortable holding the binoculars, after all, everyone likes to pick soft persimmons and pinch them, and he is no exception!
