Compared with the mercenaries who are in full swing and the Anren Movement, which occupies more than half of the country, the life of the past six months has not been very good.

This is not to say that life is not good, on the contrary, after the Soviet Union discovered that Africa, a treasure land that could compete with the United States for influence, it invested all kinds of resources and manpower here.

As a result, the Cuban Volunteers and SPLM troops in Angola finally no longer have to fight with canned corn sausages every day, and they now have more canned peas and pork, canned potatoes, and many more canned foods, not only canned food, but also flour and egg powder.

Large transport ships belonging to the Soviet Cargo Office are working day and night to transport everything from the most basic necessities to production equipment, to weapons and ammunition, and even toilet paper to wipe their butts.

The black uncles of Angola are finally getting a sense of what modern life is.

The Soviet Union supported Angola in the hope that Angola could be self-reliant and self-reliant, and then follow himself to beat the Yankees to death, therefore, after the things were given, the big brother hoped that the younger brothers could fight for breath, but the battle situation on the front line was not very good, the battle between the two sides was very tormenting, the front was almost none, for a small village, small trenches, the troops on both sides would even fight several times or even a dozen times.

One of them, a small village in Luena, an important node on the Eastern Front, was relatively close to the support point of the battle line, so both sides wanted to set up an artillery observation post here, and there was a fierce battle for this.

A village that was less than 300 square meters above sea level was repeatedly changed hands more than 20 times, and even in the morning the village was occupied by the Anren movement, and in the afternoon it was taken back by UNITA.

Mercenaries and volunteers also left dozens of corpses here, until eventually, the South African troops, tired of the struggle, bombarded the village with artillery repeatedly, destroying all the buildings, and then laying a mess of mines.

This kind of battle is absolutely unacceptable to the Soviet Union, which is looking forward to the victory of the Anpailan People's Movement, which will lead to victory like cutting melons and vegetables, and they will give whatever they want on the front line, with hundreds of T55 tanks and MiG-21 fighters and Su-22 attack planes also deployed, but why, the Angolan People's Movement cannot completely disintegrate UNITA in one go?

In this regard, the front-line soldiers also said bitterly, that Savimbi, who leads UNITA, has a high prestige in the local area, and that the UNITA under his rule has a strong village community color and a serious xenophobia mentality, and the SPLM's attempt to win the support of the local people has been extremely unsuccessful, so it is difficult for the SPLM to gain a firm foothold in the occupied territory, because if they do so, the local civilians will also become their enemies.

In addition, the Cuban Volunteer Army has not formed an overwhelming advantage in technical weapons, and there are many tanks and fighters of the South Africans, and the South African army is speeding up the service of the Honey Badger armored vehicle, which is a wheeled combat vehicle for the South African army that needs mobile combat capabilities, which is not a small help, and for the SPLM troops who lack anti-tank firepower, these wheeled combat vehicles are their lingering nightmare.

And the most important point is the mercenary forces of UNITA!

Although the quality of mercenary units is uneven, it is always right that quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, and the CIA and the South African National Cooperation Agency have engaged in a consumption model similar to the Tianji horse race, using Western mercenaries to fight for consumption with the Cuban volunteers, and then using UNITA troops and the Angolan movement to fight for consumption, and those South African paratroop special forces are the superior horses used to carry out some special counterattacks, as for the opponent, the opponent has no extra inferior horses to use.

Therefore, it is very difficult for the People's Movement to play an advantage!

However, in response to this situation, the intelligence agencies and the SPLM themselves have not thought of countermeasures, they have thought of calling volunteers from their side to rush to participate in the battle, but the number of volunteers from Romania and Brazil is pitiful, and most of them are air force pilots who come to help, so it is a bit unnecessary to let them go to the front line with weapons.

Since you can't strengthen yourself, you can only start by weakening the enemy, UNITA and South Africa are both neighbors who are not dying, and the CIA is a-stirring stick, and the first three have no way to start, so they can only start from those mercenaries!

Almost all the mercenaries who came to Angola to fight

It's all for the pay, and as for ideology, it doesn't matter to them at all, so the more money and less money is also about the performance of the mercenaries.

So is UNITA rich?

The answer is, yes!

Not to mention the aid of the United States and the loans of other countries, UNITA occupies the land in the south of Angola, which is not as rich in oil resources as the north, but there are countless minerals of all kinds.

Gold, silver, diamond, copper, iron, these ores are industrial food, and like oil, they are all well-known hard currency, so in terms of funds, UNITA is really not short of money! Z.br>

Even Savimbi had begun to pay his mercenaries in gold and silver, because he had too many of these minerals on hand, and the mercenaries preferred these precious metals to dollars.

Therefore, in order to hit Savimbi's money bag, the Cuban army began to plan a blitzkrieg, preparing to penetrate dozens of kilometers into the front line and destroy Savimbi's current highest-producing gold mine, which can greatly reduce the gold reserves he uses to pay for his payment, and the mercenaries who have no money will naturally not continue to work hard for Savimbi.

In order to ensure the smooth operation, the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the SPLM began meticulous planning, on the one hand, they did not hold their troops on the front line, launched only small attacks to paralyze the defenders of the front line, and on the other hand, began to mobilize equipment in the rear.

The Soviet Union also had a large number of various wheeled equipment, and after impressing them with the rapid assault team of the Shadow Company, the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately replaced the tracked personnel carriers in their equipment stores and turned them into wheeled armored vehicles such as BTR60, in addition, the soldiers of the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also transformed their GAZ jeeps into the appearance of their opponents, removing those canopies, and adding machine guns and armor.

After many days of intense and exciting covert preparations, a rapid joint column of several hundred men was formed, and then the Cuban commander chose a foggy morning, which was not unfavorable for both sides, but not insurmountable for the Cuban troops.

Then, under the cover of artillery, the convoy managed to penetrate the weak defensive line of the UNITA troops and then headed straight for the target.
