Instead the Rebel general Gremaib took control of the 500 man Shakal expiditionary force. He had served beside Derrick and the other Shakal troops and respected them.
On July 27th he sent Derrick to take the fortified position atop Mobutai hill with almost the entire rebel army. Derricks tank scoreda confirmed 12 knockouts that day alone. On August 1st the Official Zaire army began a counter offensive and fought back the rebels forcing them into three pockets each containing 10 000 men. Derrick was trapped with the Shakal expiditionary force. The rebels fought well but were crushed in the far north pocket in under 2 days. The south fell in four. On August 10th the one containing the best troops and the Shakal forces still held due to superior armored support.
