“Remember, you must ensure that you are at a safe distance when firing, the cost of training a gunner is much higher than a rocket, and if there is an emergency, it is okay to lose the launcher, and most importantly, people!”

Although the RP3 rocket launch seems to have no technical content, nothing more than connecting the power supply to ignite the launch, but such a simple and crude way still has a certain danger, so during the training, Shepard repeatedly emphasized this to the continuous efforts of those skilled shooters, and Uncle Black also listened a little, so like the first day of practice because the rocket could not be launched, Uncle Black with a lighter and wanted to go up to the point did not happen.

The RP3 rockets provided by South Africa are all 60-pound models, which are larger and more powerful than the 25-pound model, but the range has not improved, whether it is 25 pounds or 60 pounds, its effective range is about 1200 meters. And in addition to the range, the accuracy of the

RP3 is also more touching, the hit rate from three hundred meters away does not even reach one percent, but after all, it is a rocket, according to a military expert on a certain island, since the hit rate of a bomb is less than one percent, then the hit rate of a hundred shells adds up, and it must have reached one hundred percent!

Moreover, Shepard did not intend to use this thing to do any accurate assassination work, it was better to mount a 106mm recoilless gun and load a high-explosive shell.

What he had to do was to fire a volley at their target a kilometer away from the Portuguese military camp or position, and then run after the fight. In the Middle East, in the face of the Zion restoration entity that

occupies its own territory, the Lebanese have ruthlessly fired back at the latter’s aircraft artillery with rockets, and those long-range rockets that fly farther and hit more accurately once became a nightmare for the Zion restoration entity, after all, no one wants these rockets loaded with fragmentation warheads to fall on their brains. And the Portuguese army is the

same, they are far from the country, in the colony can not get popular support, the morale is already low, coupled with this continuous harassment attack, the morale of the soldiers collapses faster, so it does not even matter how many casualties are caused at this moment, as long as the shell falls on the ground, it is a merciless mockery and blow to the Portuguese army.

After more than a month of carefully training with more than a dozen shooters, Zabi was equally prepared for the Portuguese to respond to the destruction of his homeland.

He sent guerrillas to infiltrate traffic arteries early to investigate, and after selecting the target of retaliation as a small checkpoint hanging alone outside the city, he immediately began his own retaliation plan.

First he sent his guerrillas to disguise themselves as civilians, then transported rockets and parts little by little, and then began to dig tunnels near the villages outside the checkpoint, approaching the checkpoint little by little, and after more than a week of construction, the guerrillas successfully dug the tunnel to the position of one kilometer of the checkpoint. Then, the

guerrillas went out day and night, each like a marmot to expand and cover up the tunnel entrance little by little, until the size of the hole was enough, they began to carry rockets and guide rails through the narrow tunnel little by little near the hole.

Then, everyone lay silently in the tunnel until the sun went down, the sky was dark, the checkpoint withdrew to the patrol outside, and the sentry in charge of the sentry began to fish and nap.

Then, the guerrillas jumped out of the hole and quickly began to assemble the launchers.

It was a disposable shelf made of wood that could fit twenty launch guides, but because of the quality, basically the rack would be destroyed after one launch. The guerrillas

skillfully assembled the launchers, and adjusted the shooting angle, and then began to load the rockets one by one onto the guide rails, and finally connected the wires to the exhaust pipe at the tail of the rocket, the whole process, these guerrillas are familiar with the whole process, they have practiced thousands of times in the training camp, and even many people have muscle memory, even if the sky is dark and visibility is very limited, the movement does not slow down in the slightest.

And having done all this, they retracted into the tunnel, and then the shooter, who was responsible for launching, silently switched on the power. Immediately, the

rockets on the pylons were activated one by one, and then, driven by the propellant, flew out of the guide rail at a set angle and rushed into the blue sky, cutting a graceful arc in the air, and then landing at various positions at the checkpoint.

The Portuguese soldiers and servants at the checkpoint didn’t even know what was happening, and then one after another explosions began to occur in the camp, and the explosions were so rapid that some veterans mistakenly thought that the air force dropped bombs on their heads.

The whole camp was in chaos, and the explosions came and went quickly, but in a little more than a minute, the entire checkpoint was calm, except for the yard and buildings covered with debris and craters.

The frightened Portuguese soldiers immediately began to confirm the damage, and then they found that it seemed that the explosion was nothing more than thunder and rain, because the camp had no other losses except for three hapless servants who were scraped to death by shrapnel and one Portuguese soldier who was wounded in the butt.

But they did not dare to go out to check, after all, who knew what was hidden in the darkness outside, but the commander quickly called for reinforcements.

The guerrillas who fired the rockets were much sharper than the Portuguese army, calmly blasting the entrance of the tunnel, covering the passage of the tunnel, then returning to the village, and then evacuating while the night was dark, and by the time the next morning, when the Portuguese army arrived under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, the guerrillas had run to their stronghold thirty kilometers away and slept.

The Portuguese troops who reinforced the checkpoint finally found the culprit of the explosion after careful searching, looking at the scrapped launchers and the curved and deformed guides, and a platoon commander who led the reinforcement showed disdain.

“What, I thought the guerrillas had some new tricks, rockets, to attack us with this thing?” He is also not afraid of flying warheads to blow himself up into the sky!

This platoon commander does not feel that there is anything wrong with the rocket attack at all, this is that the guerrillas are not alive, it is better to entangle this than to entangle why the checkpoint will let the enemy approach within a thousand meters, this is a serious dereliction of duty, if it were not for the person in charge of the checkpoint is his brother-in-law, he will send the other party to a military court!

This platoon commander did not know what this rocket attack meant!
