"We can't let those mercenaries guard the west side anymore, the Cubans are already eyeing them!"

"What do you mean?"

"Meaning, the Cubans are going to use those guys as a breakthrough!"

Hudson, who had returned to the command with Shepard, strode over to the battle map, marking all the battles that had broken out before on the map, which was almost three meters wide.

Hudson slammed his fist on the map after careful confirmation.

"In these three days, they have launched fourteen attacks, nine of which have been to the west! There was almost a problem with the western position today, and they will definitely keep an eye on us next time!"

"Then rotate them to the east side, and let Charlie's team go to the west side!"

Hannibal did not question Hudson's judgment, since the other party said so, then there must be a reason for him, he immediately consulted with Lieutenant Colonel Charlie Matt, and then took advantage of the gap in the battle to let the two sides rotate positions.

It's just that Hannibal still underestimated the Cubans, although Major Garcia did not know the small movements of the airport defenders, but the most basic judgment was still there, and when his men attacked again from the west in the afternoon, he was keenly aware of what was wrong, and then, the Cuban paratroopers simply withdrew from the battle and began the same wheeled fire reconnaissance as before.

After several attempts, after Major Garcia figured out the location of the mercenaries, the Cuban paratroopers immediately changed their targets and began to attack the east side of the airfield, clearly looking for mercenaries.

Compared with the west side of the airport, although the defense line on the east side is covered by buildings, most of it is flat, lacking the cover of the anticline, and can only resist in the face of shelling.

Under the suppression of artillery fire, in the face of the attack of the Cuban paratroopers, the mercenaries' defense line almost collapsed, and in the end, it was Charlie Matt himself, like Rambo who was alive, personally controlled the light machine gun into battle, and barely beat the Cuban paratroopers' attack back.

And the next few attacks, the same is true, the Cuban paratroopers seem to have a life-and-death enmity with these unlucky mercenaries, 80 percent of the shells are on their heads, and each attack is only staring at these guys, the hapless Lieutenant Colonel Charlie was even blown up by Cuban shells three times in one day, but he was lucky enough, the orderly three meters away from him was blown off a leg, and he himself was unharmed except for the blood from the explosion in his ear.

But not everyone is the same as this lucky old bastard, the mercenaries he brought are already a quarter gone, the same as the losses of the Shadow Company, but compared to the P who can still tell jokes or sing songs in the gap between battles, the morale of the mercenaries is terrible, many of them are already about to be beaten by the Cubans, and even several middle-level commanders are still angrily scolding the Cubans for being shameless, only staring at them, and not going to fight with the Shadow Company.

"This is the so-called shortboard effect!"

Shepard now has to admire the Cuban commander on the opposite side, although both sides are constantly suffering losses in the battle, but the other side has a firm grasp of the rhythm of the battlefield, they have understood the weakness of the defenders, and began to deal with them, but the defenders are powerless to do anything about it.

"What do you mean by the shortboard effect?"

"It means that the capacity of a barrel is not calculated by the longest board, but by the shortest board, and those mercenaries are the shortest board!"

"Actually, is it possible that it's not that the board is too short, but that you're too long?"

Despite the pressure of command, Agent Hudson can still make a little joke to make everyone laugh, but after laughing, Shepard admits that Hudson really has a point!

After all, no matter in the past or present life, when everyone mentions mercenaries, the word "well-equipped" must be indispensable, and this is true, but it is still the same sentence, there are exceptions to everything!

Shepard, who was influenced by later generations, set a very high benchmark for P's equipment level from the beginning, bulletproof jackets, ammunition carrying gear, and even rifle sights and grips, in the later generations, were only used by some European and American mercenaries, if those mercenaries in Africa and the Middle East, the AK in their hands may be a few hands.

And now, the equipment level of the Shadow Company is even better than that of the regular army, this is abnormal, like those mercenaries of Charlie Matt, their weapons are all self-purchased, and those who have money and ability are brand new guys, and even the length can be matched, if there is no money, a set of camouflage uniforms, a magazine bag, and an automatic rifle in poor condition, this is all his net worth.

And the worst thing is that the military literacy of these mercenaries is still uneven, and the veterans under Charlie have the kind of veterans who have fought for twenty years, have good marksmanship and awareness, and are captured by all kinds of tricks, and there are also those who come to earn money after staying in the army for the military service period.

These things are not visible in normal times, but they are easily exposed in battle, and Major Garcia has already regarded these mercenaries as an important breakthrough point, and he is not in a hurry to kill and injure the living force of these mercenaries, but is ready to turn them into a wound that cannot be stopped, constantly attacking these mercenaries, forcing the Shadow Corporation to continue to invest its own forces to maintain the battle line.

Let the Shadow Corporation shed enough blood here to the point where they can't sustain it themselves.

Major Garcia's move was not subtle, and it was even very direct, both Charlie Matt and Shepard could see it, but they just couldn't do anything at the moment.

Generally speaking, a period of collective training can alleviate this problem, but at the moment everyone does not have this time, as for the so-called joint grouping, the problem is even greater, the common language of the Shadow Company is English, and most of the personnel are from countries that have had in-depth contact and exchanges with the United States, but Charlie Matt's people are from Europe, most of them are French-speaking circles, and the two sides are grouped together, just command is a problem, and the language barrier is in wartime, but it will really kill people!

Therefore, even if everyone can see the intentions of the Cubans, it is useless, and this kind of unavoidable conspiracy can only be dealt with by practical actions, which is the so-called "seeing the trick and dismantling the trick".

However, the last time he saw the move, he lost two valuable armored vehicles, and the next time he saw the move, he lost something, he didn't know, anyway, with that bloody lesson, whether it was Hannibal or Shepard, the use of technical weapons that could not be replenished, would become more and more cautious, even to the point of fear of loss.
