One of the consequences of that was the sending by air of fresh foods for small airplanes freighted for the effect. Portuguese sardines, pimentos, meat, fresh wine, etc. Our ration got better and the moral of the troop also. This was necessary, while the command sought a company for our rotation. Naturally that great part of the time was started to play the card game. Per times great discussions appeared because of the famous renouncement, and they didn't end in boxing almost miraculously. But it was not also ignored that if that happened, it fell us on top the RDM-Regulation of Discipline Military. Already ready to finish the commission, it was of politeness to avoid to the whole cost incidents of this nature.
Our chairs were built in an original way. Of the barrels with staves, after having finished his content, they were sawed so that if they transformed in true works of art of the prick. I never got to know who her inventor was.
I decided to be war reporter. For that he needed a camera, what got through a noncommissioned officer when of one his dislocation Luanda. The machine was in second hand. His transport packing was very resistant, armoured, the one that allowed support strong blows. It was ideal for a war atmosphere. I got pictures with clearness to half meter of distance. It concludes that it would only take slides pictures. I sometimes accompanied the platoons, because he wanted to leave something for the posterity.
Usually when a column came out, the first vehicle was a Berliet that had sacks of sand under and ahead. It was it bursts mines. Behind the cabin he had an armoured protection for the installation of a machine gun that could shoot in all of the directions. The boxes of dispersed ammunitions in all of the vehicles had a line tied to allow that in case of attack if they could pull, and like this to have access to more ammunition. This idea appeared, due to a platoon that somewhere suffered an attack. All jumped for the kind of grass and later they didn't have as arriving to the ammunitions that were in the vehicles.
The captain had to leave Nambuangongo even. Before he would make a short stop in Zala. For to cheer up I also went in the column. To the Zala to arrive I went for the area of the communications. The first thing that they informed was me that as soon as it, it burst rude shooting. But once in a while in the daytime that also happened. Protections of sacks of sand existed to the turn. When I arrived one of the protections close to, they noticed me to bend over because it could be reached.
In Nambuangongo the situation was not better. They posted watches with binoculars that observed all the places sincerely. But at dusk, it was such the shooting that nobody lived in peace. The guerrilla fighters until they got to steal the clothes that was extended close of the commander's cabinet. Her chair was holed with some shots. Luckily him he was not there on that moment. The guerrilla fighters deceived the watches because they crawled for the middle of the hills. There were in the proximities a company of Arrows, and they distrusted that they gave them attendance.
