Chapter 324: If you have a problem, find Big Brother!
It had been a week since the news of the attack on the government stronghold reached the rear, during which time the top brass of the government army did not hear a word at all, and it was not until a week later, when the convoy of supplies did not return, that something was wrong.
Later, the search force saw the looted supply vehicles and the traces of their own soldiers being kidnapped by all of them.
This defeat was completely unacceptable for the military, as the government forces had not tasted defeat since the fight against the Portuguese colonists, whether it was a post-war sweep of warlords or a counterattack against incoming mercenaries.
Therefore, the military reacted immediately, and they removed a regiment of infantry, accompanied by an artillery company, and a number of support support logistics units, and prepared to march towards the border belt.
Because of the delicate relationship with South Africa, any large-scale transfer of troops is easy to cause all kinds of problems, therefore, a regiment of infantry is already the largest manpower that the government army can mobilize, which has accounted for a quarter of the entire *** team, which is enough attention.
The transfer of government troops soon reached Captain Lee, who had good partners in several nearby towns, either solitary but embarrassed people like the old hunters, or self-employed.
Because of the consideration of the national issue, and the communication with these collaborators, Captain Li assigned the old hunter to do it, after all, everyone is Uncle Black, and there will be a lot less vigilance.
And these collaborators have no problem with receiving some extra money, and it doesn't matter to them what the consequences of selling information will be.
Most of the countries in Africa are barely pinched, and the Western colonizers did not consider any issues such as racial distribution and ethnic contradictions, or they did it on purpose, after all, a turbulent and unstable Africa is easier for them to control.
Therefore, for the majority of Africans, the so-called patriotic feelings do not exist.
Therefore, before the infantry regiment of the government army marched in, the relevant information had already been sent to Captain Li.
"A regiment? It's only one regiment, and I think we were in Vietnam back then, but we were fighting with a division of the enemy, who do these guys look down on!"
This is not Captain Lee's bragging, SOG's sabotage in Vietnam is deeply hated by the north, after all, if you are not careful, some important strongholds will be bombed by the Americans, so every time they find those infiltrating enemies, they will mobilize a large number of regular army and militia troops to encircle and suppress.
More than a third of the members of the Alpha team are from the SOG group, so for them, the number of people is no longer a deterrent!
What's more, against the government army, especially the government army of African countries, Shepard has come up with a quite effective way to deal with it.
That's logistics!
The logistics of most African armies are quite fragile, not only in a strange small country such as Gambia, but also in Egypt, one of the largest countries in Africa, and in the conflict with Israel, many of the failures of the Egyptian army are caused by the various interspersed encirclement and cutting off the supply of troops by the opponent.
Not to mention the logistical supply of the Mozambican army, this thing really can't be learned, even if they have mysterious forces and Soviet instructors to teach them hand-in-hand, they can't do exactly the same.
After the government army began to mobilize troops, Captain Lee simply began to take the initiative, he broke his detachment into pieces, and those veterans who were proficient in jungle warfare were dispatched, and they drove modified pickup trucks to take the initiative to appear in the wasteland and the edge of the jungle to attract the attention of the government army.
To this end, Captain Lee also forcibly demanded Robber's command, dragged the latter's few subordinates to the plains, and then found some deserted villages and disguised them as guerrilla bases.
To make it more like, Captain Lee also stored the previously captured weapons and ammunition in these places in batches, and then stationed Robb's men there.
And the government forces were fooled, and the pickup teams were regarded as the main force of the active guerrillas, and then the government forces began to open an encirclement and try to encircle and annihilate them.
And the pickup group is
Fake retreat and drop the vehicle around the bait.
When the attacking government forces found the abandoned vehicles and the abandoned villages with signs of human activity, they immediately determined that they were guerrilla camps and sent combat units to attack.
When the government soldiers entered the village, they quickly found the stored weapons and equipment, much to the heart of the government commander.
After all, he knew exactly what their opponent was, and the latter could not casually discard these scarce supplies for the guerrillas, so this must be the enemy's stronghold!
Convinced of the bait, the government forces immediately launched a larger-scale clean-up, and in order not to miss anything, they even took the initiative to gather troops, so as to ensure their own safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were also thinking about supplies.
The food and clothing of thousands of combat troops is not a small number, and the fuel consumed by the trucks that hauled the artillery was even greater, and there were hundreds of trucks running around the rear in order to ensure the progress of the front line.
And that's what Captain Lee was waiting for!
The government forces, who had absolutely no air defense capabilities, could not have imagined that the opponents they were facing would have helicopters on them, and that they would not even have any protection for their transport routes in the rear, let alone the army, not even the police.
In this way, Alpha Detachment used helicopters to carry out sabotage attacks on the relevant logistics routes in the intelligence, either sending people to attack trucks with rockets or laying mines.
In a short period of time, the government army lost more than 70 trucks, and the supplies carried on them were generously distributed by the attackers to nearby villagers.
This almost paralyzed the logistical supply of the front-line troops, and the soldiers could not find any food in the steppe belt, even if there was a large herd of deer or something, but the trucks could not move without fuel, lubricants and other accessories.
So the front-line army just helplessly stayed in place, hoping to wait for the rear supplies to be sent before acting, but even if the rear sent people to protect the vehicles, they could always find an opportunity to attack by the PC, and they were knocked down piecemeal, and the losses of trucks increased instead of decreasing.
Looking at the war attrition, which had already exploded with a deficit before the official start of the war, the Mozambican government, which had cleaner pockets than its face, could only look at the man who symbolized the great father's love.
"Big brother, your pockets are empty, and you can beat rice at a fast speed! Otherwise, I'll say you can't!"
