With the arrogance typical of the police and the military fascist authorities, the enemy will come to fight us with heavy quns and equipment and with elaborate maneuvers by men armed to the teeth. The urban querrilla must respond to this with light weapons easily transported. so he can always escape with maximum speed, without ever accepting open fighting. The urban guerrilla has no mission other than to attack and retreat. We would leave ourselves open to the most stunning defeats if we burdened ourselves with heavy arms and with the tremendous weight of the ammunition necessary to fire them. at the same time losing our precious gift of mobility. When the enemy fights against us with cavalry we are at no disad- vantage as long as we are mechanized. The automobile gocs faster than the horse. From within the car we also have the tarqer of the mounted police. knocking him down with machine gun and revolver fire oc with Molotov cocktails and qrenades. On the other hand. it is not so difficult for an urban guerrilla on foot to make a target of a policeman on horseback. Moreover, ropes acress the strects, maibles, cork stoppers are very efficient methods of making them both fall. The great disadvantage of the mounted police is that he presents the urban guerrilla with two excellent tar- gets: the horse and its rider. Apart from being faster than the horseman, the helicopter has no better chance in persecution. Jf the horse is too slow compared to the urban querrilla’s automobile, the helicopter is too fast. Moving at 200 kilometers an hour it will never succeed in hitting from above a target lost among the crowds and the street vehicles. nor can it land in public streets in order to catch someone. At the same time, whenever it tries to [ly low, it will be excessively vulnerable to the fire of the urban guerrilla, Informapon The possibilities that the government has for discovering and de- stroying the urban guerrillas lessen as the potential of the dictatorship's enemies becomes greater and more concentrated among the popular masses. This concentration of opponents of the dictatorship plays a very im- portant rcle in providing information aS to moves on the part of the police and men in government, as wcll as in hiding our activities. The en¢my can also be thrown off by false information. which is worse for him because it is a tremendous waste, By whatever means. the sources of information at the disposal of 19 25 - - AR EE ee A erent - a eee ee ni ee ae ee Set a ee Le epee
