Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 324 Goubuli

In just one sneak attack, there were only more than 3000 of the 2500 mercenaries left. It was a heavy loss. At this rate, it is not known whether the mercenaries will be able to finish the last few tens of kilometers from Ulysses.

Don't underestimate the tens of kilometers in this area. Most of the Congo Free State is a tropical rainforest. It may take several days to travel tens of kilometers. This means that the mercenaries may be attacked at any time in the next few days. If there were several more attacks of this scale, Ulysses would probably not be reached, and the mercenaries would collapse completely.

"Throw away the luggage and move forward at full speed. The Nyasaland people dare not confront us head-on, so they can only attack despicably. We will have a decisive battle with the Nyasaland people in Ulysses. We will definitely win!" Yi San Barrett didn't know if his brain had been broken, but he still insisted that the fighting power of the mercenaries was stronger than that of the Nyasarans.

Charles Gregory and Robert Norris looked at each other with deep worry in their eyes. Even the most radical Robert Norris dared not cater to Ethan Barrett.

"Reorganize the troops, let's set off right away!" Ethan Barrett decided to set off immediately. The longer the delay, the greater the variables, and Ethan Barrett dared not take any risks.

"We still have a lot of wounded soldiers. If we don't arrange them properly, it may affect the morale of the troops." Charles took his time. If possible, Charles would like to return to Kinshasa and leave the Congo Free State. come back again.

"Leave the wounded soldiers here to recuperate. After we occupy Kalemie, we will take the wounded soldiers to Kalemie for treatment." Ethan Barrett was cold, and he didn't even believe what he said.

The mercenaries don't have doctors and nurses. Even if they do, the doctors and nurses don't have much to do with the injuries caused by heavy machine guns.

As far as the medical level of the current era is concerned, once a soldier is injured, the medical treatment methods are often extremely limited. It is okay to say that a minor injury will pass after a while. wait to die.

In the raid last night, more than 200 mercenaries were injured, and more than 100 were seriously injured. Four hours after the attack, more than half of the seriously wounded have died. If the remaining seriously wounded are left here , then it is equivalent to announcing their death sentence.

"Ethan, we can't do that, or the troops will mutiny." Charles reminded Ethan Barrett that mercenaries are extremely selfish, and if they find that attacking Kalemie does more harm than good, then these mercenaries Most of them will break up in a herd.

"Then what do you think we should do? Abandon the mission? Then we will become a fucking joke!" Ethan Barrett cursed, so the bragging he had before turned into a loud slap in the face. San Barrett's face.

It hurts hot!

"It's better to be a joke than to be a tattered corpse that no one cares about—" Robert Norris sighed faintly. All the fantasies of Robert Norris before were shattered in last night's attack. Robert Norris Reese is also a veteran who has participated in the war, and now he has a deep understanding of the gap between mercenaries and Nyasarans.

To be honest, Robert Norris didn't think the mercenaries had any chance of victory. Compared with the calm and almost terrifying Nyasalandians, the mercenaries were indeed too amateurish.

After daybreak, Robert Norris took people to see the Nyasaran positions.

As Charles had learned, the Nyasalan people's position was by a small river. After dawn, the position was naturally empty, and there were only a dozen skinned crocodiles left on the river bank.

In other words, when the Nyasarans were preparing to attack the mercenaries, they were still in the mood to kill crocodiles and skin them to make money. This made Robert Norris feel deep fear. Confrontational.

Robert Norris found the machine gun position. The position was set up very delicately. Although the mercenaries did not organize an effective counterattack yesterday, the machine gun position was still well protected. Robert Norris was surprised to find that although Niassa last night The Lan people fired at least [-] rounds of ammunition, but there was not a single shell casing on the position. This shows that Nyasaland still had enough time to clean up the position after completing the attack, and did not take the possible counterattack of the mercenaries into consideration at all. This kind of confidence, this kind of strength, really made Robert Norris feel afraid from the bottom of his heart.

"Are you going to be a deserter?" Ethan Barrett cursed, holding the handle of the gun at his waist while standing up.

"Which eye of yours saw that I was going to be a deserter?" Robert Norris stood up without fear and scolded Ethan Barrett.

The other officers next to him quickly came up to fight.

"That's enough, quarreling can't solve the problem, let's think about how to deal with the Nyasaland people." Charles felt a fit of irritability, and there was no hope of victory at all.

Just outside the only tent, the morale of the surviving mercenaries was low. Some were in a daze, some were crying, and some were counting their belongings. Unlike the angry officers, the soldiers were in no mood to argue , The Nyasaland attack last night sounded the alarm to all mercenaries - Nyasaland is different from all the enemies they have faced before.

-

Unlike the mercenaries with low morale, on the mountain ridge more than ten kilometers away, the morale of the officers and soldiers of the northern Rhodesian division who had just completed their mission was high.

The attack last night was nothing more than daily training. It is a regular training program of the Nyasaland militia to go into combat immediately after such a long-distance raid.

In the Nyasaland Militia, the upgraded version of the armed training is to carry 30 kilograms of weight. After a long-distance attack of 20 kilometers, it will be put into combat immediately. The intensity last night is actually not as high as the regular training intensity of the Nyasaland Militia. Therefore, Rhodes The officers and soldiers of the Northern West Asia Division felt that they hadn’t had enough fun yet, and the combat mission was completed. The dozen or so crocodiles were just an episode. It was really not too easy to sell the crocodile skins to Nyasaland Agricultural Company, and everyone could share a few pounds.

"If we set up a position here and fight a blocking battle, will it scare the Belgians away?" Martin is full of confidence. The Yao people have also fought against the Portuguese, but it is a pity that they have not done their best. Now Rhodesia The north is repeating its old tricks, hoping that the Belgians can be as tenacious as the Portuguese.

"It's possible that the Belgians want to break through our position, and it's impossible not to pay two or three thousand people." Isiah Ulysses felt sorry for him. God knows who the Nyasalandians learned from, and actually built a Such a brutal position made even Isiah Ulysses shudder.

The defensive positions in this era are basically an upgraded version of linear tactics. Rifles and machine guns are lined up in a row. up.

The position of the Nyasalan people is absolutely different. Generally, the heavy machine guns on the position have a field of fire that is directly in front of the front. In the position of the Nyasaland people, the field of fire of the heavy machine gun position is slanted. Isaiah You Lises didn't know the significance of doing this at first, but when Isiah Ulysses walked around the front of the position, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

In front of the position, Isiah Ulysses simulated an attack, and unexpectedly found that no matter how he used the terrain and features to cover his advance, he would be cross-fired by heavy machine guns, which also meant that as long as the heavy machine guns had enough bullets, The position is almost impossible to break through.

On the Rhodesian Northern Division's position, there are less than 1000 troops, and there are 50 heavy machine guns. The mercenaries have no artillery to help them. If they want to break through the Rhodesian Northern Division's position, they must hold their hands high.

"Hmph, with 7000 troops, it's impossible to defeat our Rhodesian Northern Division with just such a small force!" Martin knew the power of crossfire when he was still in Cape Town. For the first time, the fire power appeared in front of the world.

Now Martin and Isiah Ulysses don't know, the mercenary slaves dispersed, and now there are only more than 2500 people left. If Martin and Isiah Ulysses knew, maybe they would Take the initiative to attack, and will not wait for the mercenaries to attack.

"Brothers, it's time to serve—" the head chef led more than a dozen porters of the Yao nationality, carrying a few iron bars, lined up behind the position, opened the lid of the iron bucket, and suddenly there was a strong and cloying aroma spread over the ground.

"God, it's luncheon meat again, can you change the taste, I'd rather eat potatoes—"

"I'm not hungry!"

"I'm going to get a rabbit to bake, you guys eat mine."

The soldiers immediately complained, and their morale immediately dropped to the extreme. Some soldiers felt nauseous as soon as they smelled it.

"This is meat, do you know it's meat? Don't be so ignorant!" The chef was furious. After a few good days, he began to dislike even meat, and he was still too full.

Two months ago, a Rhodesian agricultural product company provided Nyasaland with a canned food made of meat, starch, and potatoes. This canned food is packaged in tin sheets and can be used for frying, frying, boiling, and stewing. It is easy to use, has a long shelf life, and can be eaten immediately after opening the cover. Therefore, it is purchased by the Nyasaland militia as its daily food.

When this kind of thing called "luncheon meat" first appeared, it was very popular among militia fighters. It was once popular in Nyasaland and became a popular food.

But after a long time, luncheon meat became unpopular. Soldiers no longer liked the taste made with spices, and gradually began to get tired of luncheon meat.

This can’t be blamed on the soldiers’ mouths. The profiteer Xiaosi, when making luncheon meat, the proportion of meat is pitifully small. Most of the raw materials are starch and potatoes. It’s okay to eat this thing once or twice, and eat it more often Well, to put it bluntly, they don't even eat militia military dogs.
