Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 363 The traitor among the rebels

The inhabitants of Pietermaritzburg had never seen such a force.

Unlike the rude, dirty, domineering, and high-ranking troops in their memories, the boys of the Rhodesian Northern Division are confident, sunny, and amiable. When they look at people, they only look at people with their pupils instead of other parts of their eyes. They even They would distribute some expensive foods such as chocolate and apples to the children who watched them. You must know that during the siege of Pietermaritzburg, only dignitaries were eligible to enjoy these foods, and ordinary people could only rely on black bread and Potatoes live.

They also have a food called "Luncheon Meat". This food is very delicious in the eyes of Pietermaritzburg residents. It is not only delicious, but also very convenient. After eating, the box can also be used to hold some small things. Well, the residents of Pietermaritzburg think this luncheon meat tastes better than those beef and mutton, but for some reason, the boys from the northern division of Rhodesia don't like it.

Although the Zulu rebels had retreated, the rebellion did not subside. After the Rhodesian Northern Division entered Pietermaritzburg, it immediately took over the city defense and security.

Every morning, a solemn handover ceremony is held on the main street of Pietermaritzburg. At this time, a large number of Pietermaritzburg residents will gather around and watch.

In a short period of time, the children of Pietermaritzburg learned the goose step when the sentry was handed over, and then there were often scenes of children stepping forward and shouting slogans in the streets and alleys. Such a scene often makes the residents forget They are still at war.

Of course, Rock could not be as leisurely as the residents. After the Northern Rhodesian Division entered Pietermaritzburg, Rock released all the scouts to search for the main force of the Zulu rebels.

The scouts are still relatively strong, and news will come back soon.

"The situation shows that the main force of the Zulu rebels has retreated to Sehrabatebe in Basutoland. Now there are about 10 rebels left. Excluding the old and weak, women and children, there are probably less than 3. People, we can dispatch troops overnight to attack the main force of the Zulu rebels. The rebels are panicking now, and people are fleeing every day. Bambata can no longer suppress those chiefs. Some chiefs hope to surrender to us, some Some people insisted on resisting to the end in Basutoland, and some people suggested negotiating with us. In short, now is a good time to attack. As long as we move fast enough, the rebel army will fall apart." Anton told Rock and Isaiah Quiller reported the latest information. The scouts were still very strong. They captured a chief who wanted to escape back to the tribe and got very detailed information.

Basutoland is the future Lesotho, located in the west of Pietermaritzburg, less than [-] kilometers away from Pietermaritzburg, Basutoland is a Zulu gathering area, because it is located on a plateau, Basutoland is also called For the "kingdom of the sky".

As for Bambata, he is a Basutoland chief who is very prestigious among the Zulus. After the Natal government shot the Zulus who attacked the police, Bambata called on all Zulus to come forward , and the Natal government to fight to the end.

This man is a typical example of great ambition and lack of talent. He has no ability to lead the Zulu people, nor does he have relevant military talents. When everything goes well, Bambata can still stabilize the situation. , since returning to Basutoland, people have fled every day. In less than a week, there are only about 15 troops left in the original 10 troops. Seeing this, even if the Rhodesian Northern Division does not go to Basutoland If Sutoran attacks, the Zulu rebels will be defeated without a fight.

"Tomorrow General Hopkins will lead the Transvaal army to Pietermaritzburg, and then I will go to Basutoland to completely defeat the rebels." Rock understated, with strong confidence in his words.

"That's really great, my lord. Please make sure they get enough lessons. All the leaders will be hanged. I'll hang them in their own tribe." Isaiah Quiller looked excited and waved vigorously Folding his arms, his face flushed red.

"This is my duty——" Rock will definitely not let Bambata go. This may be the last war before World War I. Rock needs military exploits to pursue a higher title. Anton and Martin are now connected. Not even a jazz, and Rock can't just think about himself.

The next day, Hopkins finally led [-] Transvaal troops to Pietermaritzburg, and the Rhodesian Northern Division left Pietermaritzburg and marched towards Basutoland.

On the first night after leaving Pietermaritzburg, Yaya sneaked up to Roque.

"My lord, do you still remember Modiba?" Yaya played tricks.

"Modiba? Who is it?" Rock really had no memory. There were not one thousand but eight hundred Zulus sent to Portuguese East Africa by Rock. It was impossible for Rock to remember everyone.

In fact, in Portuguese East Africa, Modiba did not perform particularly well, otherwise Lara would not let Modiba return to Zululand. Such a person is actually not qualified to appear in front of Rock. Modiba has no intersection.

"Modiba used to serve in the expeditionary force before, and later went to Portuguese East Africa—" Yaya introduced in detail.

"So, Modiba wants to surrender?" Rock remained calm. Maybe Modiba really wanted to surrender, but it might also be a trap.

"Yes, Modiba wants to surrender. He knows where Bambata is and is willing to take us to catch Bambata." Yaya believed in Modiba, and did not suspect that this might be a trap.

"Where are the Modiba people?" Rock definitely wanted to confirm, it was impossible for Rock to believe whatever Yaya said.

In fact, even without Modiba leading the way, Rock believes that Bambata will not be able to escape Rock's palm. If Bambata is alone, it will not be easy to find Bambata. Now there are 10 people around Bambata , So many people can't hide it even if they want to hide it.

"It's just outside the camp." Yaya was really relieved.

"Bring him in." Rock wanted to confirm in person.

Soon, Yaya brought Modiba to see Rock.

As soon as he entered the tent, Modiba knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to Rock, with an extremely sincere attitude.

"Get up and tell me what you know." Rock was noncommittal. To convince Rock to trust Modiba, you can't just rely on your mouth, and you need a certificate or something.

"Yes Lord, Bambata's main force is in Sehrabatebe, where the terrain is difficult and it is the only way to enter Basutoland. If you want to attack head-on, you will definitely pay a heavy price, but I know a The trail can go around Sehrabatebe, only need a troop to go around and intercept, and then we can surround Bambata back and forth. Bambata's camp does not have much supplies, no more than a week, Bambata You can only surrender obediently." Modiba was indeed prepared to vote with a certificate, and it was quite weighty.

Basutoland is known as the "Kingdom of the Sky", with an area of ​​30355 square kilometers. The terrain of Seherabataibe is dangerous, with an altitude of more than 3000 meters. In this terrain, if the rebels occupy favorable terrain, then maybe it is true. It would cause heavy casualties to the Northern Rhodesian Division.

It was inconvenient for Rock to express his opinion in front of Modiba, so he waved his hand and asked Yaya to take Modiba to rest, then turned around and asked Tang En to go to Anton and Martin.

Both Anton and Martin were patrolling the camp. Hearing Roque's statement, Anton volunteered: "My lord, let me go. I'll take the teaching camp and Modiba around the path. If Modiba dares to lie, I killed him with my own hands."

"My lord, my lord, let me go. Since the terrain here is dangerous, it is enough for me to bring two companies, so that even if Modiba cheats, we will not be injured." Martin is also eager to try, and the reason Significantly more fully than Anton.

"That won't work, I'll go, and you will stay with the lord to protect the lord—" Anton did his part, which has nothing to do with credit, because the future of this trip is uncertain, and neither Anton nor Martin wants the other party to take risks.

"Stop arguing, Anton, you and Yaya will take you to the teaching camp." Rock made a decision.

Rock doesn't trust Modiba, but trusts Yaya more. After all, Yaya has been with Rock for so long, and her family is in Johannesburg. According to Rock's understanding of Yaya, although Yaya has little problems There are few, but it is still possible to tell whether the big one is big, non-Asian or big.

"Don't worry, my lord, if I can't catch Bambata, I'll come to see you first." Anton is very confident. Seeing this, Anton dares to issue a military order.

Martin could only stare.

"Don't worry, you can lose your battle—" Roque laughed. After the battle, it is up to Roque to decide how to divide military merits, and Roque will definitely not favor one person over another.

It is not too late to do things quickly. Anton and Yaya led the scouts and the teaching battalion to set off overnight. When they were in Nyasaland, the teaching battalion often practiced long distances at night, so it is commonplace to go out at night, and the scouts are no problem. , They sometimes stay in the wild for more than ten days during their missions, and they have become accustomed to eating and sleeping in the open, so the two troops move very quickly.

Rock and Martin were not in a hurry. It would definitely take more time for Anton and Yaya to get behind Sehrabatebe. Rock and Martin simply made steady progress and slowly moved towards Sehrabatebe.

On July [-], Roque led the main force of the Rhodesian Northern Division to Sehrabatebe.

As Modiba said, the terrain of Sehrabatebe is indeed dangerous. This is a canyon between two mountains. The cliffs on both sides are very steep and difficult to climb. The rebels have set up sniper positions in the canyon. The passage into the canyon is very narrow, and it is difficult to deploy troops and build a cover position. If it weren't for Modiba, the Northern Rhodesian Division would really have to spend a lot of effort to attack.

In fact, the easiest way is to use human life to heap, but Rock is not willing.
