NIASSA PROVINCE
- EASTERN MILITARY REGION -
This is the present military situation in the Eastern
region of Niassa Province: PRELIMO forces are intensifying their
campaign of ambushes and attacks, checking all movements of
enemy troops, who are now virtually immobilised in their
military bases. Most of the bases in this region have to be
supplied by air.
On the other hand the enemy has intensified areal^ bombardment and is trying to create conditions which would jgive\^ him
some minimal initiative in the campaigns one of the measures
they are taking for this purpose is to abandon the sabotaged
roads and build new ones, using labour from the strategic
hamlets (for examples the roads of MTELELA, ANTONIO-MAUA and
MSANGULA) All these at'tampta are frustrated by PRELIMO
forces. In the case of the air-raids, although they have
caused losses among the population and killed some guerrillas
■ they have not in any way prevented our forces from carrying
on a vigorous offensive campaign.
1. In 9 ambushes on the roads of LUIS, LITUNDE, ANTONIO-
MAUA, LUVILA-CHICONONO, LISSAU-MTSLELA and ANTONIO-RSVIA,
PRELIMO guerrillas destroyed 9 Portuguese military vehicles.
In three of these ambushes on the 19th and 28th of May and
4th of June, our guerrillas could, number 26 killed and at
least 20 wounded. We do not know the casualties the enemy
suffered in the other ambushes,,
2. On the 17th of May, enemy troops v/ent with the people of a
strategic hamlet to open a new road, leaving the old one to
link further on with the road going to Vila Cabral. Our
guerrillas were informed of the enemy's intention, and moved
to that place. When the Portuguese heard that there were guerrillas in the area, even before our forces had made an
attack, .they abandoned their plans for the road and returned
to their bases.
