At this moment, there are not many options left in front of the thousands of SPLM troops, and the fierce offensive on the front line requires a huge shortage of materials, with about 5,000 to 6,000 shells fired every day.

But after several days of fighting, the artillery unit flew up, but the opponent's defense line did not waver in the slightest, and even once made the attacker a little suspicious of life, thinking that the opponent was all Spartan, why was he so tenacious.

In fact, the defenders don't talk about Sparta, not even the Persian cannon fodder soldiers, the rapid artillery fire from the Antaran People's Movement makes the SLA defenders suffer huge losses every day, but as long as our line is filled fast enough, then there will be no problem with the defense line, although the SLA has lost a lot of territory, but this will also be regarded as a reaction, and the lost troops are also being quickly filled, and the unlucky ones who volunteered to join the army to serve the country are too enthusiastic, forcing the conscription officials to tie them with ropes to calm them down.

Relying on a steady stream of head brigades, the defense line of the Liberation Formation has been stabilized, but the daily battle losses are a bit large, but it doesn't matter, Wilson has already understood the trick given to him by Professor Hannibal, those soldiers on the front line can open up canned meat for every meal, and they can not only eat themselves, but also share it with their families, and if they survive, they will also have green knives to take, so the black uncles will not resist filling in the line.

Coupled with the continuous arrival of reinforcements, the firepower of the South Bank SLF troops is also increasing day by day, at first they were only mortars and ordinary mountain artillery, and later the Congolese artillery has been operating the 105 mm howitzers sent by the Americans, and the field airfield is also rapidly expanding, from only 54 transport planes to 130 transport planes in the later stage, it can be said that the SPLM troops can no longer continue to attack the opponent's increasingly perfect defensive line.

So now, it seems that there is only the option of sticking to the territory that has been occupied, but for Lieutenant Colonel Marko, it is not realistic to stick to this thing, to put it bluntly, it is still a supply line, the modern army especially relies on logistics, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is inseparable from all kinds of guarantees, to put it bluntly, you have to defend, but there is no shovel to dig the soil, you have to send it from behind, so you still defend a fart?

Hannibal's attack severely dealt a blow to the ability of the SPLM troops in the entire province of Uige, relying on the perfect map of the road network left by the Portuguese, coupled with the guidance of the local guerrillas, the team of less than 200 people turned the Ann troops in the occupied areas of Uige Province upside down, and the end of the material transfer station was only the beginning.

By the third day, Hannibal had begun to lay mines on the highway to attack the vehicles of the Ann People's Movement, but the clearance force that Lieutenant Colonel Marko had formed could not catch the tail of the opponent at all, and all the Shadow Company detachments that used wheeled mobility were as nimble as loaches, and the carefully selected drivers were all good drag racers, whether they were attacking or escaping, these guys were faster than the other.

The SPLM's troops are completely confused for the province of Weige, the ethnic structure here is completely different from theirs, naturally there are no collaborators, and even the officers of the SPLM have to ask the local tribal leaders to get some help, and the Shadow Company has already cooperated with the local area, and even those villagers who have received dollars will take the initiative to provide them with information.

Hannibal even learned the essence of counter-guerrilla warfare by having the locals provide false information to the SPLM and then ambush the SPLM forces that came to clear them.

Of course, all these actions are just tricky troubles for the SPLM troops, because they actually suffer not much losses, the personnel sequence is complete, the equipment is sufficient, the supply is insufficient, then they are spared, and if they go out, they will be attacked, then they will stick in place, as long as they shrink into hedgehogs, and the mercenaries who have given up almost all their ability to attack for mobility will have no way to take them.

If they hold on like this, when reinforcements arrive, then they will be able to win, but there must be a premise for all this, that is, there is no big move on the SLF, but how is this possible?

After the 130 transport planes were able to take off and land, the CIA airlifted field bridge-building equipment directly from Europe to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and then from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the province of Uige, and along with the bridge-building equipment, Hannibal's long-awaited armored troops.

Six Hudson cobbled together Sherman tanks and came

Twelve A90 armoured vehicles from the Democratic Republic of the Congo became the first force to cross the bridge to counterattack.

And Shepard is also among them, in addition to Charlie's detachment, he also has four rifle companies affiliated to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which are all combat forces mobilized by the CIA at the fastest speed after coordination, especially the four rifle companies, which are trained by the Shadow Company, not to mention the cooperation of the two sides.

Although these Sherman tanks are very old, they are not badly maintained, and the most satisfying thing for Shepard is that the guns loaded with these tanks are all 76mm tank guns, and they also have the power to fight against the T3485 tank of the Shang'an People's Movement, and even he has a Firefly tank loaded with a 17-pounder gun, which is easier to fight T3485, although it is just as easy for the other party to fight it.

In any case, as soon as this very threatening force reached the south bank from the lower Congo River, the SPLM forces in Uiger Province were immediately in a critical situation.

And Shepard brought much more than these heavy firepower, while he led his troops to outflank Hannibal's plan, the PBY seaplane belonging to the Shadow Company also flew over the province of Uige, relying on the long-term airstay performance of the seaplane, this seaplane full of leaflets dropped a lot of false propaganda on the SPLM troops. z.br>

Generally speaking, when they see these things, the officers will immediately let people force them to clean up, but they also know that the enemy has launched a counterattack, so they don't know whether the information about Coral Island is true or not, so the military spirit of the SPLM troops was shaken first.

In addition, Shepard and their rapid progress, relying on the road to advance, in less than two days of hard work copied to the back of the main force of the SPLM, at this time the SPLM troops began to move as if they had just woken up from a dream, and the soldiers were also in a commotion after receiving the order to retreat, after all, those propaganda things turned out to be true.

As a result, for a while, the news that our army had been defeated spread among the SPLM troops!
