Lorenzo was in no hurry to attack again, and he began to approach the positions of the Rwandan side by other means. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info such as digging trenches. Although this will be much slower, there is no way to reduce the loss. The Namibian army, of about a thousand people, began to dig trenches in the positions.

Bunkers were built one by one, and despite the time constraints, they were trying to do as much as they could. Not only Lorenzo saw the attack just now, but also other Namibian soldiers. The wounded and corpses who had been carried down from their positions were also seen.

Nobody wants to be like them, so they work hard to survive. Lorenzo was asking his staff officers and observers to mark the exposed firepower of the Rwandan side in light of the attack just now. The location of machine-gun positions, areas of weak fire in trenches.

The location of the blind spots in the crossfire network can play a positive role in launching an effective attack again. Many people don't know that Lorenzo fought alongside the Cuban Legion fighting in Africa in his early years, and from the Cuban Legion, Lorenzo learned a lot of things that he could not learn from African armies.

For example, how to pull out the opponent's firepower point when attacking, such as how to better avoid the opponent's crossfire net and find the opponent's shooting corner. It is also because of these experiences that he has become one of the few generals in the Namibian army today. It was precisely because of this that he had the opportunity to lead the army to fight in the Congo.

Most people know Cuba because of Castro and because of Che Guevara. Maybe someone else knows about Operation Bay of Pigs, about the Cuban Missile Crisis. But not many people know that Cuba's army also fought in Africa! And with a good record, of course, this is for the African army.

For example, the independence of Angola, the new Sau of Guinea, and the ...... of Mozambique After the independence and liberation of the Portuguese colonies, almost all of the guerrillas received military training and military assistance from Cuba. There are even special instructors who fight with them.

Although Cuba's interest in Africa was greatly diminished by Che Guevara's departure from Africa. But with the outbreak of the Angolan civil war, Cuba was once again interested in Africa. There is a historical reason for this - black slaves, who were trafficked to Latin America by whites at the time, later became one of the backbone of Cuba.

In the early days of the war between Angola and South Africa, Castro even took the great risk of throwing Cuba's elite special forces into the Angolan battlefield with three stops in old turbine transport planes. Subsequently, the Soviet Union joined and sent more than 12,000 Cuban troops to the Angolan battlefield.

Not only that, but the Cuban air force has long defended Angola's airspace. At the end of the Cold War, the Soviet Union had no intention of continuing to toss with the United States on such matters. However, Castro still sent more than 15,000 Cuban troops to Angola to assist in the war.

In the war between South Africa and Angola, Cuba invested as many as 50,000 troops. Cuba has sent more troops to Angola than the United States troops in Vietnam combined. However, the bloody price paid by Cuba for the liberation and independence of Africa has been deliberately ignored by history and people.

Between 1975 and 1991, more than 450,000 Cubans risked their lives to work and fight in Angola. More than 2,600 of them died on the battlefield. It is precisely because of Cuba's tremendous contribution that Angola and Namibia have achieved independence. Cuba's sacrifice was one of the reasons why President Mandela was released from prison.

Few mention of Cuba's sacrifice on the African continent. Not to mention that one of the first countries Mandela visited after his release from prison was Cuba. Even Mandela, on the occasion of the 38th anniversary of the assault on the Moncata barracks in Cuba, said in a sincere statement: Without the victory in the Battle of Cuitobanavale, there would be no legal status for the ANC.

"Report! We were approached by a unit whose commander had called us and said that they were the 13th Heavy Machine Gun Company of the 5th Division of the Chadian Army. The adjutant quickly walked up to Lorenzo and reported in a deep voice: "They have asked for him to enter our position and report to you. ”

Lorenzo nodded, turned around and walked directly away from the forward position towards his headquarters: "Let their commander come to see me, and at the same time let them rest temporarily in the logistics camp." After we meet, I will arrange tasks for them. ”

"Yes!" The adjutant responded, and then asked the herald to go down and pass the order out.

Lorenzo, who had just returned to the headquarters, saw the herald hurriedly come in before he could sit down: "Report! Major Yak Bullard, commander of the 13th Heavy Machine Gun Company of the 5th Chadian Division, asks to meet! Please instruct the sir! ”

"Let him in!" Lorenzo waved his hand, and the herald stood up and said loudly: "Yes! ”

After a while, I saw a tall black man wearing a jungle camouflage with the rank of major, and he looked to be about thirty years old. As he stepped into the headquarters, he stood up and saluted Lorenzo, who was sitting on the ammunition box. Then loudly said: "Report!" Yak Bullard, the commander of the 13th Heavy Machine Gun Company directly under the 5th Division of the Chadian Army, was ordered to report to the general! ”

Lorenzo looked at Jacque's appearance and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. I don't know when Namibia will be able to have such good soldiers and such a professional army. Look at people, this is all the national strength accumulated bit by bit! Without national strength, how can we talk about a strong army......

"Great work! We don't have much time, and you know what is going on on the tidal flats right now. We now need to quickly clear the way to support the tidal flats, but in our way is an elite reinforced battalion from Rwanda, armed with at least four M2HB heavy machine guns and some M79 grenade launchers......"

Lorenzo stood up and shook the major's hand. Then he couldn't wait to start introducing the situation, Lorenzo wanted to let Ark understand the situation on the battlefield more intuitively. He even asked Ark to come to his side and point to the points of fire that had been marked on the map to explain them one by one.

Lorenzo said, and Ark nodded incessantly. Compared to Lorenzo's exclamation, Yak was extremely surprised by Lorenzo's performance. When he was just sent here by Lieutenant General Harlow to help, Ark actually had a problem in his heart. Think he's too watery for this Namibian army, right?!

Why was he beaten into a cripple in three or two strokes?! He had to get his side to provide support, and although he was reluctant, Ark obeyed the order to come to the rescue. Even when Ark met Lorenzo just now, he didn't have any good feelings about the Namibian army. The world of the military is very intuitive, and the powerful are respected.

You can't even beat a fart on the battlefield, how can you let me respect you?! I can't respect you.

But as Lorenzo told the story of the situation, and pointed out the light and heavy firepower points, firepower configurations, and blind spots in the firepower network of the Rwandan army's positions, Yak no longer dared to underestimate the Namibian army. In all fairness, let Arc himself in Lorenzo's position perhaps the losses of the troops will be greater.

"General, if this is the case, there is no way to complete the attack with my heavy machine gun company." Ark frowned, looked at the markers on the map and sighed, "We urgently need heavy firepower support and strikes now, otherwise we won't be able to take this position." Even if it is taken by force, the losses will be enormous. Unable to provide support for tidal flat positions. ”

After a pause, Ark said softly, "I suggest that we jointly submit an application for air strike support to Lieutenant General Harlow. I am sure that His Excellency the Lieutenant General will consider this issue. Now is no longer the time when we will be able to carry out combat missions alone. We need support from other units. ”

Why didn't Lorenzo himself know about this question? But helplessly, he himself is the army of Namibia, where did Namibia's poor dog-like air force come from! Chad has an air force, and even fought against the Libyan air force. A certain record has been achieved. But Chad's air force is only a few hundred people.

Which isn't a baby to die for?! If you apply to Harlow, people will just look at you like an idiot. Of course, if Yak and Lorenzo apply together, this would not be a problem. Having someone of one's own is completely different from helping others in vain. Ark's suggestion, Harlow would certainly have considered.

Soon, Lieutenant General Harlow, who was in the second line, received a secret telegram from Ark and Lorenzo. The two men simply stated on the telegram that without the support of air fire, it would be almost impossible to take the position. Even if you barely take it, you will lose a lot. No longer able to support.

Therefore, the command was requested to provide fire support. Of course, it is okay to order them to ignore the assault. But the consequences of this are borne by the front-line command. Harlow clutched the telegram with a helpless smile on his face. They didn't communicate by phone, and they chose telegram just to keep it up.

If there is really something going on in the future, I can explain it. But you can send the air force, how easy is it?! Chad's own air force has only a few hundred personnel, and it has cut down more than a dozen ground service fighters. The president and the entire Department of Defense love them more than their own eyeballs, and it is almost impossible to have them appear on the battlefield of non-necessity.

In this Congo war, the army was massively deployed, but the air force did not move. The president's mind can be imagined, and it is not a good thing to touch the mold at this time. For a moment, Lieutenant General Harlow was in a dilemma.

"It's almost ......" In the distance, Hou Dasheng had already seen the smoke rising from the Rwandan position. That familiar smell, he definitely can't be mistaken: "Come on, guys!" The banquet is about to begin......" (To be continued.) )
