Former Anders' family farm,around Katima City 10:00
It's been four days since the RNLA-MA troops took control of the Beno bridge and nobody informed General Mbutelezi, he started to be suspicious and paranoid as he usually is.
While he was being carried around on an open litter similar to those used by chinese emperors by the sons of a farmer recently made landless by his expropriations, he yelled at colonel Ngitoza.
The colonel quickly reached for him, nervously responding ''Yes sir!''.
''Why haven't we started operations on taking Beno city yet!'' he exclaimed furiously. ''Our troops are miles from the second hub of the country and here we are doing nothing, not even informing the supreme commander in chief?''.
Colonel Ngitoza tries to speak but he is interrupted by Mbutelezi who continues, ''Those 14 or 15 year old troops are good only to loot, rape and drink in the villages they conquer.
I order a shelling of Beno City, the enemy lags behind in artillery, then when the enemy is weakened we shall direct our troops to the city in order to take over it.
Supplement the present troops with more personnel and shells.''

General Sande and his men have tried to precede Mbutelezi's actions. They placed various barricades on the road connecting the bridge to Beno City and filled it with anti-tank and anti-personnel mines.
Some troops have been taken away from the western front north of Wataru to strengthen the forces in the camp north of Beno City, where Sande has established his command centre, in order to aid the troops in the city if there's necessity to do so.
