This rocket attack because of its sudden and accidental nature, did not receive any attention, the Portuguese army encountered every day from throwing bricks and spitting to gunshots in the face countless times, just a few rockets, it is slightly rare, not tight!

Therefore, after this attack, the attacked Portuguese officer did not even give much detail in the report, and even in order to reduce his possible responsibility, he concealed the soldier’s injuries and wrote that he was unharmed, and such a report was even less worth mentioning for his superiors, because there were so many such reports that the regimental command threw it into the wastepaper basket without even looking at it.

The lack of response of the Portuguese army greatly encouraged the courage of the guerrillas, and seeing that the other party was so dull and numb, they no longer dug tunnels covertly, which was time-consuming and laborious, so with Shepard’s funding, they quickly changed their tactics.

This time, Zabi chose to target a company of Portuguese troops, a military camp located on a hilly ridge that was an important stronghold used by Portuguese troops to control within a radius of tens of kilometers, and which was also part of the company in the last attack on his hometown. For three days in a row, the guerrillas,

disguised as herders, drove their sheep past the hills for close reconnaissance, while in the distance, the guerrillas were also using binoculars to observe from a distance, and after several days of squatting the guerrillas, the guerrillas were well aware of the movements of the Portuguese army. The company camp

sends a platoon-level patrol to patrol by car every morning, but the route is not fixed, they will conduct irregular raids on thirteen villages and markets nearby, and after six o’clock in the evening, all the patrols will return to the camp to rest, during which the company will finish eating at seven o’clock, and then there will be a little other activity schedule, until nine o’clock, the camp will enter a state of rest.

Compared to other checkpoints, the vigilance of this camp should not be underestimated, they not only have machine gunners and searchlights on the camp watchtowers, but also have their observation posts on both sides of the ridge of the hills, and these watchtowers are open all day, so it is not easy to approach.

But Shepard is not a person who gives up easily, since he can’t get close, he will find a way to get close, so a few unlucky guerrillas put on sheepskin camouflage, and then they also tied the launch rails on the sheep, and every day when they continued to herd the sheep, they threw things little by little in the blind area of the watchtower under the hill.

Then, relying on such an ant moving method, the guerrillas stored more than a hundred rockets under the hills in three days.

Then, on another moonless night, the guerrillas got off in trucks three kilometers outside the barracks, and then a dozen men ran wildly in the night, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, they immediately began to assemble the work.

And the sentinels on the hills only cared about sweeping into the distance with searchlights, and they did not expect that less than four hundred meters under their noses, there were more than a dozen black uncles sweating like rain.

Then, when the sentinel felt cold because of the lonely night and couldn’t help but think of his hometown who had married someone else, a dense rocket flew out under his nose.

This time, the guerrillas prepared a full five launchers, the angle and orientation of the launch were also different, but basically covered the Portuguese barracks, when the launch preparation was completed, the black uncles turned on the power and began to run back, in order to reduce the burden, they did not even carry anything, even the power supply was left in place.

The activated rocket is no longer used for anything, and after being activated, the engine does the rest of the work.

More than a hundred rockets bombarded various positions in the barracks one after another, at first the rockets attacked only the empty playground, and in the back, the targets of the rockets that fell indiscriminately were not limited to the playground, but dormitories, ammunition depots, and parking lots. Although the

rockets with a 60-pound charge were not as good as howitzers, but for wooden houses, they were enough, and a rocket accurately exploded on the roof of a squad’s dormitory, and then wood chips and shrapnel fell from the sky, directly turning the infantry in the room into hedgehogs, although each of them was not fatal, but the serious injuries were enough for them to spend a year and a half in the hospital.

There was also a rocket that accurately exploded the camp kitchen, blowing up all the rice, flour, vegetables, melons and fruits into the sky, and the worst was the last round of falling rockets, this row of rockets was set by the guerrillas at a random angle, intending to cover the row of dormitories behind the camp, but the rockets flew in the air and landed in the camp parking lot, two military trucks full of fuel were directly hit, and then a violent explosion occurred, and the flying fragments shattered almost half of the vehicles in the parking lot. It even shattered oil storage tanks in the camp.

The leaking fuel flowed out, and after contact with the flames, it ignited a fire again, enveloping a large row of buildings near the parking lot, and even including a makeshift ammunition depot where some of the bullets were stored.

And all this, less than three minutes after the rocket fell, the panicked Portuguese soldiers did not even leave the dormitory at this moment.

But fortunately, the garrison company commander had also seen the big scene, he calmly drank the panicked soldiers, and quickly divided the personnel into three groups, one group to put out fires, the other to transfer ammunition, and the third group to follow him on foot to pursue the enemy.

“Those guys are attacking us at close range, they can’t run far!”

The Portuguese officers were right, the guerrillas did not run far by their legs alone, but their trucks were three kilometers away, so these guerrillas who had long trained an iron foot had fled two kilometers away when the Portuguese went out, and when the Portuguese army arrived at the launch position, the guerrillas had fled to the side of the truck, and the driver did not wait for these guys to sit firmly and hit the accelerator to the end, and then galloped all the way in the night.

When the pursuing Portuguese army reacted and drove the few remaining vehicles to try to pursue, the driver was extremely unlucky to overwhelm the mines laid by the guerrillas.

Although the anti-infantry mine has limited damage to the truck, it still scraps the truck chassis and throws out several unlucky eggs on the car. The

garrison company commander limped out of the car and angrily fired all the bullets of the gun in the direction of the guerrilla escape, which could not see the exhaust gases.

Then he received an even worse news.

“Lieutenant, the regiment headquarters has also encountered an attack, and the battalion commander has asked you to be on alert immediately!”
