For the extremely important task of blasting bridges, Savimbi was never at ease with handing over the task to the mercenaries, so the people who carried out the task were his cronies, and the veterans of a company watched the battle on the front line from the bunker less than a hundred meters behind the front line.

And this company has been standing still, because their mission is not to participate in the battle at all, they are specifically responsible for the task of bridge blasting!

Therefore, while the comrades-in-arms were fighting with their lives, the company was silently waiting for orders from the command in the safety of underground bunkers.

To ensure that nothing was lost, even their pillboxes were carefully camouflaged and covered with dirt, and the detonation lines were carefully arranged to prevent damage from shells.

The position of the Soviet special forces was not far from them, almost more than a hundred meters, but there was a small undulation in between, so the special forces members did not know that the controller was near them.

They were on standby in their positions throughout the day, and in order not to arouse the suspicion of the surrounding friendly troops, they also fought desperately in the defensive positions, and the automatic rifles and machine guns were in battle, and the clanging posture surprised the surrounding friendly troops.

"These guys' bullets don't cost money, do they?"

It can only be said that although the Soviets are extremely well prepared, they are still slightly deficient in small details, mercenaries receive their employer's salary but will not get free supplies, the employer will take care of food and shelter at most, and it will not be a good place, bullets have to be brought by mercenaries themselves, if not, then they have to spend money to buy, Shepard is just *** 500,000 rounds of 5.56 mm ammunition smuggled from Vietnam were dumped in the arms supermarket, and the South Vietnamese government, which was on the verge of collapse, was now too busy to take care of itself, and the people below had no scruples about seeking profits.

As a result, Shepard's arms business can be said to be going extremely smoothly, and he doesn't even need to spend a lot of money to buy personnel, just a ticket to leave the port to buy in a heavily guarded arms warehouse.

The thirty or so remaining Vietnamese employees of the Shadow Company were all sent to Saigon by Shepard in order to make a big deal at this last minute.

It's just that not all mercenaries can get a stable source of ammunition like Shepard, and most mercenaries have to find their own way to make regular military bullets, which are not cheap in the market, and coupled with the problem of carrying and preservation, therefore, mercenaries will not carry too many bullets to the battlefield.

The old British gunners of the Boolean Defense were reluctant to fight their 7.62mm bullets, so they used the cheaper old 7.7mm Lee Enfield rifles, after all, they had not yet entered the state of hand-to-hand combat, and long-range shooting Lee Enfield was still very useful.

Therefore, although the shooting seems to be intense, in fact, most of the mercenaries still try their best to control their own consumption and put an end to the idea of being fully automatic, but those soldiers of the Soviet special forces, who are all concerned with acting, and play out the consumption of others for several days in a fully automatic way.

However, the mercenaries didn't suspect it, they just ran to their positions in their spare time, wanting to ask these guys if they had any cheap purchase channels, otherwise you would dare to waste it like this!

In order not to arouse suspicion, he could only make up a few sentences casually, and then generously shared the non-existent contacts with other mercenaries, who were immediately grateful.

After relying on this trick to get closer, the commander took out his own treasured rum and canned corned beef to share with everyone, and the mercenaries on other positions also took out their small collections to join the inter-war tea party, relying on fluent English and a few glasses of wine, and soon everyone became good brothers who knew everything.

Seeing that the atmosphere was similar, the Soviet commander immediately asked about the state of the defense line and the bridge.

And the mercenaries who had been here for several days before also knew everything, after all, they were all good brothers, and maybe they would have to drink together after the war.

"I don't know if the defense line can be held or not, but those are still quite clever, they have special people in charge of blowing up the bridge if the situation is not right, and those people are right behind us!"

"yes, those guys can hide!"

"That's for sure, I heard that UNITA spent a lot of money on these defense lines alone, otherwise why are those guys from the People's Liberation Army still unable to attack after so many days, and the hiding places of those guys who blew up the bridge are even more secret, not to mention 130 mm shells, even 203 mm ones may not be able to penetrate them!"

"I don't believe it, Uncle Black is so powerful?"

"If you don't believe it, come, I'll show you, just behind that slope, that place is the tipping point, those are squatting there, and the cannon on the opposite side has been blowing up for so long, you see that place, there are signs of damage!"

"Really, blame me, blame me!"

The Soviet commander immediately apologized sincerely and beckoned his men to bring out the treasured wine again, and his subordinates immediately understood the hint, ran to the rear radio station to report the situation, and then took out the commander's treasured vodka.

And a group of drunkards are also unceremonious, although the Soviet Union did not deal with them, but the Soviet wine did not have this problem, and it was over after drinking!

After a heavy drink, the mercenaries left one after another, after all, they still had to carry out combat missions, and when they left, everyone was still reluctant, and agreed to meet again tomorrow in their leisure.

And the Soviet commander finally couldn't help laughing happily after the mercenaries left, he now thinks these mercenaries are too cute, and he is really defenseless against his own people.

However, although the location of the detonator is known, it is bound to be heavily defended, and it is definitely not possible to attack rashly, so if you want to get it, you have to find another way.

The commander made a two-handed plan, starting with the detonator and the line, he was going to take advantage of the middle of the night to send people to search the route along the pillbox and the nearby terrain, if they found the line and destroyed it, then they would be considered successful, but if they didn't find the line, then they had to find a way to link up with the friendly forces on the other side to get rid of the UNITA army guarding the detonator.

The SPLM command also simply handed over the decision to the commander, and no matter what he wanted to do, the command would cooperate, and if necessary, it would not be impossible to even dispatch fighter jets to force a breakthrough in the enemy's air defense network.

After all, it's all about winning the final victory, so much pay, now, it's up to you to take this step!
