Chapter 259: Involution is better than pressure on others

In fact, the appearance of Boer Defense did not make any big waves at all, after all, none of the mercenaries who are still in Angola crawled over in the sea of swords and fires.

The great feats that Bob Denard has done in the past ten years are no longer so legendary for most of the mercenaries who have been polished on the brutal battlefield for many years, after all, there are more matches, and everyone knows how strange this place is, in other words, even if I am on me, I can do it!

It's just that Bob Denard, who is still unclear about the situation in Angola when he first arrives, doesn't think so, what kind of black uncle he has never seen, whether it is the peasant thugs in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the guerrillas in Mozambique, or the regular army in Benin, he has fought them all, what difference can a black uncle in Angola make.

And then, he saw it!

After a year of hard training for hundreds of Soviet instructors and even more Cuban instructors, the SPLM's Uncle Hei was not reborn, but he was still in good shape, and he had reached the point where he could hit five or six shots of 30 rounds and a 100-meter target.

Moreover, they are well fed and warmly clothed, understand basic tactical orders, and learn a lot of basic team tactics, which is already rare in Africa!

Not to mention that the SPLM has even promoted literacy courses in the army, selecting more personnel to study in the Soviet Union, and over time, it will really enable them to train a qualified army.

But these were ignored by Bob Denall, for him, no matter how well Uncle Black trained, it was still Uncle Black, and it would not become anything else.

On the other hand, his subordinates are the real elite army, not only veterans from the British Air Service Corps, but also many old friends of the Foreign Legion who have been laid off and re-employed, and in terms of personnel quality, Bob's mercenaries are no worse than Shepard's Shadow Company.

If you talk about the number of professional soldiers, even his subordinates are even better, but because of the language problem, many British mercenaries have now become a priority for the Shadow Company, which is also a reason why Bob is dissatisfied with Shepard, he fought the world back then, relying on a large number of Britons under his command, and now, the subordinates who can be recruited have been divided a lot, which will definitely have an impact on the strength of the company.

However, Bob was already determined to rely on the Angolan civil war to regain his strength, and for this reason, in the first month of his life for Savimbi, he asked for several important attacks behind enemy lines.

Then, the 47-year-old Bob Denard personally led his mercenaries on a mission, and they successfully destroyed an artillery position and an oil depot of the SPLM within a week, blew up 30 trucks, burned several grain depots, and disturbed the rear of the SPLM's southwest front. ap.

There were hundreds of SPM soldiers killed by them, and Bob had many British sharpshooters under him, and they could even use a Lee Enfeld rifle to accurately burst a watermelon at a distance of 400 meters.

Such a large-scale attack behind enemy lines made the Cuban special forces, who had suffered a lot of dark losses due to the gold mine problem before, quite annoyed, they were not active on the front line for more than a month, why was the enemy so rampant?

So the rested Cuban special forces and a group of Soviet special forces who had secretly arrived in Angola joined forces, first secretly searching for each other's whereabouts, and then quietly following the mercenaries, launching a surprise attack from the rear when Bob was preparing to sneak attack a Cuban air defense position.

This assault directly caught Bob Denard by surprise, and his men even set up mortars, ready to start bombarding the Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft guns on the position, and then Soviet shells fell on their heads.

Before the bombed-looking mercenaries could figure out where the shells were coming from, the enemy had already killed them in the face.

The Soviet special forces that launched the raid were even armed with PBS silencers and specialized subsonic ammunition, which caught Bob by surprise at once.

However, Bob's men were extremely experienced in combat, and the veterans immediately fought and retreated as soon as they saw that the situation was not right, and they carried a lot of grenade launchers and smoke grenades, which successfully hindered the pursuers' footsteps, allowing Bob and his men to successfully escape.

But the enemy behind him was not vegetarian, and the special forces pursued Bob for a day and a night, forcing the latter to abandon all tasks and flee to UNITA-controlled areas.

And Bob was not unscathed, he killed more than 20 of his men, many of whom were old men who had followed him for more than ten years, which was more serious than any other loss, and on the way to retreat, they were also subjected to long-range artillery shelling by the SPLM troops, although they did not cause any losses, but they also scared everyone very much.

And when they withdrew to UNITA-controlled areas and had not yet rested, they found that rumors of their excellent results were already spreading among the mercenaries.

"Bob Denard's people are too powerful, if everyone in UNITA is as good as them, then we will win this battle!"

There are countless such rumors, and there is no way to trace the origin, because how can the mercenaries who have drunk too much remember what they said, and with this kung fu, they might as well drink two more glasses!

It would be nice to say that such rumors spread among the mercenaries, but the problem is that the rumors are spreading more and more, and even Savimbi knows that Bob's mercenaries are doing something behind enemy lines, so he specially has dinner with Bob Denard at his headquarters.

At dinner, Savimbi also told the other party directly, your performance is enough to be called a model for the entire army, he wants to let his army study hard, and if there are those urgent tasks in the future, you must ask each other!

Bob Denard was too embarrassed to tell the other party that the gossip was all made up, so he could only agree to it, and then Bob's men were transferred by Savimbi to the headquarters of UNITA, New Lizhber, which is an important target for the current SPLM army, because it is the core of the UNITA army.

Nearly 6,000 SPLM troops are working hard to push the front in the direction of Nova Legerber, which is not even 70 kilometers away and is still shrinking.

Savimbi, who knows how important it is, is also actively mobilizing personnel and equipment to prepare for a battle to defend Madrid. And the Boolean defense, who was in the limelight, was the first priority defender he picked!
