After the retreat of the Cuban armored forces, the SPLM infantry once again launched an attack on the mountain pass defense line, relying on the cover of artillery, two regiments of SPLM soldiers launched a crowd charge on the defense line of more than ten kilometers like a tsunami.

Hudson was not a good infantry commander, but he was a qualified firesumer, and he pulled two artillery regiments from the South African army, and these South African artillerymen armed with G6 self-propelled guns fired a full 600 rounds of 155mm shells in less than half a day.

These ferocious curving firepower blew up the SPLM infantry attacking the defensive line, and finally broke through the fire net, only to be met head-on by the mercenaries who were waiting for their work; in the defense of the city at UNITA headquarters, almost two-thirds of the losses of the SPLM troops attacking the city were caused by mercenaries, and the SPLM infantry did not have any advantage at all in long-range shooting.

Uncle Black, who was running wildly in the valley, was knocked down one by one by machine guns and precision marksman rifles as if he were shooting a target, and in less than half an hour after the attack began, almost half of the two regiments of SPLM troops were killed.

If they had tank cover, they might have been able to break through the valley defense line with such heavy casualties, but the armor that opened the way in front was ambushed by Shepard, and although most of the tanks escaped, almost all of them had different damage, and it was certainly impossible to fight again. ap.

Therefore, the SPLM could only let its infantry run into the defensive line, which was only temporarily established, but was actually extremely strong.

Although the temporary defensive line built by the terrain looks shabby, such as the patchwork of personnel, such a team may be weak to attack, but there is no problem in the defensive battle, not only the mountain pass in charge of the Shadow Company, but even the area defended by the UNITA army is impregnable, and even they have killed more than a hundred opponents.

After the failure of the first wave of attacks, the SPLM once again made several key breakthroughs, but whether it was in the valley or on both sides of the valley, the SPLM's offensive made no progress, but continued to lose personnel, attacking the UNITA headquarters in New Lizhbo, the number of SPLM casualties was only 600, but after two days of attacking the defensive line, their casualties were close to 1,000, and even a Cuban fighter was shot down by a South African fighter that had missed a hole while participating in a ground support mission.

The pilot parachuted out and successfully joined up with the friendly team, but when he turned around, all the personnel were ambushed by the South African special forces, and all the pilots and soldiers were captured alive.

After the loss of a large number of personnel and materials, the SPLM leadership has had to accept the current reality that the possibility of trying to solve UNITA and South Africa in one fell swoop has been zero, and the frontline troops without sufficient support will not even be able to break through the opponent's defenses.

When they replenished the supplies, the South African army that had completed the deployment of troops also arrived at the defense line one after another, and the best time for the SPLM to attack was no longer there, and the South African army, which was in a posture of fighting to the death, was desperately accumulating various resources here, and even UNITA once again mobilized a large number of child soldiers into the army.

As a last resort, the SPLM had no choice but to abandon its plans to attack and instead began planning an attack on UNITA's last two major cities.

Among them is Musamidish, the most important port city of UNITA, which is the most important artery of Savimbi, from which the mineral resources, oil and even the food crops he controls are sent to sea in exchange for money, and the weapons he buys are also imported from here.

Therefore, the next target of the SPLM's attack became the port of Musamidish.

In order to fight for this seaport, UNITA and SPLM once again broke out into a fierce and bloody battle, but because the city had little time to build defenses, and the strength of the main force of the UNITA army was greatly damaged, this seaport that Savimbi relied on was finally occupied by SPLM after a month of fierce fighting.

It is worth mentioning that the mercenary regiment of Boer Denar, which had just recruited troops and restored its strength, once again entered the defense of the harbor, and his mercenary regiment achieved brilliant results in this battle, killing a colonel officer of the SPLM and capturing three Cuban soldiers alive, and then he was subjected to targeted retaliation from the SPLM and the Cuban Volunteers.

The city where his mercenaries were stationed was heavily guarded by heavy artillery

, and even the Cubans pulled the 130-mm cannon directly onto the road and opened fire on the building.

The team that the Boer Defense had only pulled up was back to square one after a battle, but Bob Denard had a long memory, and he had just been attacked by the city, so he escaped on his bicycle with a number of men, and after the battle, he also received a lot of rewards for his outstanding performance, enough for him to pull up a new team.

Savimbi's behavior of buying horse bones with such a lot of money did make many mercenaries want to serve him, but there are still many people who are ready to leave, such as Shepard.

His contract with the CIA has expired, and he is still here because his heavy equipment will have to be returned honestly if he is withdrawn from Angola, and partly because he has not squeezed out the last value of the place.

The Angolan civil war lasted for 27 years, even if the Angolan People's Liberation Front (SPLM) defeated the PLNL and UNITA, the latter still fought tenaciously for more than 20 years, not to mention that now, UNITA still has tens of thousands of troops and a large number of mercenaries, and it seems that it can fight for a few more months, not to mention, just like Vietnam, when UNITA is at a low point, there are also many guys who intend to run away with money.

These officials did not have the same strong will to fight as Savimbi, and although they could not escape because of Savimbi's guards, it was still no problem to transfer their wives and children to Europe and transfer their family's property, which was what Shepard's Black Mermaid did.

And he is very fair, only 5 percent per person, children and women can also enjoy half price, and over 80 years old can even be free.

And the most important thing is that the extra money from this business is no less than the remuneration of the Boer defense who fought on the battlefield, the latter died hundreds of brothers, and Shepard did not even have to pay for the fuel here, because most of these assets and people would be transferred to South Africa, so all the losses of the Black Mermaid naturally became paid by the South African National Cooperation Agency.

It's just that Shepard doesn't pay too much attention to these things at the moment, he has more important things!
