CPP/Ang Bayan: NPA-ICR seizes machine gun, 3 HPR

Propaganda article from the English language edition of the CPP online publication Ang Bayan (Jul 21): NPA-ICR seizes machine gun, 3 HPR

THREE TACTICAL offensives were successively launched in Mountain Province and Abra by units of the New People’s Army-Ilocos-Cordillera (Chadli Molintas Command or NPA-CMC) against military and police forces last July 14 and 15. The NPA was able to seize one K3 Squad Automatic Weapon, an M203 grenade launcher, two M4 assault rifles and bullets. These offensives are meant to serve as an opening salvo for Duterte’s third State of the Nation Address (SONA).

On July 15, the NPA-Antonio Licawen Front Operations Command ambushed the combined forces of the 81st IB and the Regional Mobile Force (RMF) of the police in Barangay Tamboan, Besao, Mountain Province. Four enemies were killed and numerous others were injured.

A day earlier, on July 14, 81st IB troops were operating in Sitio Dandanac of the same barangay when they were ambushed by a unit of the Leonardo Pacsi Command (LPC) of the NPA-Mountain Province. Two soldiers were killed from the ambush while many others sustained injuries.

In the afternoon of the same day, a unit of the NPA-Abra (Agustin Begnalen Command) launched quick offensives against the scattered Alpha Coy platoon of the 24th IB conducting combat operations in Sitio Gambang, Barangay Bazar, in the town of Sallapadan, Abra. The 24th IB made it appear that only one soldier was injured in the offensive, but reports from village folk reveal that three soldiers were killed and one was injured, all of whom were secretly retrieved by passing through the rear of the battleground.
