Chapter 364 The Cliff

The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky. The mountain road in Basutolan is not much better than the road to Shu.

There are still 893 people left in the teaching camp led by Anton. Each of them has to carry an average of more than 30 kilograms of supplies, and the amount of ammunition they carry is double that of the conventional one. The guns are separated and carried, and now these equipments have become the biggest trouble.

"Sir, after climbing over this mountain, we can go around to Sehrabatebe—" Modiba had no weapons on him, and he had been by Anton's side for the past few days, and his men had also disarmed now , became the transport team of the teaching camp, helping the teaching camp deliver supplies.

Regardless of what Modiba said was easy, right in front of Modiba and Anton, there was a nearly ninety-degree cliff with a height of more than 20 meters. For the blaze.

"How? What about the path you mentioned?" In Anton's view, this cliff is impossible to climb. Although the training camp has a variety of subjects, it has not trained rock climbing, which is beyond the training syllabus.

"Damn it, didn't this guy do it on purpose—" Suo Chao, the battalion commander of the teaching camp, was also very irritable, and he had already pressed the handle of his gun while speaking.

"Gentlemen, don't worry—" Yaya's expression was relaxed.

Anton and Suo Chao patiently watched Yaya and Modiba communicate.

Soon, a little black tidied up the little bits and pieces on his body, and began to climb up with a bundle of ropes on his shoulders.

"What the hell, there's not even a protective measure—" Suo Chao was also speechless, even though 20 meters is not too high, if he falls, he will fall to death.

"In the future, the training camp will still carry out similar training programs, but we can't be so aggressive. We still have to have the protection we deserve." Anton really opened his eyes. Sometimes these Africans are really capable of what ordinary people can't.

"It's okay, gentlemen, this is commonplace for us Zulus—" Yaya was really not nervous, and her tone was full of complacency.

The slap in the face came very quickly, Yaya hadn't finished speaking yet, a little black probably lost his grip, and fell from the cliff by mistake. The screams resounded through the cliff, and he fell down the cliff like a broken sack.

The military doctor in the teaching camp still dutifully went to Xiao Hei's side for an examination, then walked back shaking his head.

Anton and Suo Chao looked at each other speechlessly.

Yaya and Modiba didn't care, waved their hands and two little blacks climbed up.

Looking at the vigorous figures of the two little blacks, Suo Chao was finally moved: "These little blacks are good soldiers even if they are trained well."

"Come on, you only saw this for a while, Sir Alex is very firm in this regard, don't make mistakes, we can cooperate, we can't just take it in." Anton vaccinated Suo Chao, and the obedient Xiao Hei was indeed It works very well, but there are some things in the little black bones that cannot be changed.

This time it went much smoother. Two little blacks successfully climbed to the top, and then threw the rope down. At this time, one little black had a brain short-circuit again, and he didn't fix the rope on the cliff first, and threw them all down.

Yaya and Modiba were so angry that they jumped up and down and cursed, while the other little blacks were laughing and not taking it seriously.

Anton and Suo Chao looked at each other, and both shook their heads.

This section of the cliff is the last hurdle. With the smooth construction of more than a dozen rope ladders, the speed of the troops passing through is getting faster and faster.

"No, it's still too slow. I'll take a company to go first, and you crawl here slowly—" Anton was in a state of anxiety, and the time of attack agreed with Rock was July No. After going around to Sehrabatebe before, we still have to investigate the terrain and the situation of the rebels, set up sniper positions, etc. There are still many things to do.

"Wait a little longer, and bring more people away." Suo Chao also knew that it was not the time to be polite. When the teaching battalion set off, they were afraid that the firepower would not be strong, so they transferred all the Madsen light machine guns from the entire army, and they had already been deployed to the squadron. level one.

Now these heavy weapons have become a burden. In fact, the Madsen light machine gun is okay. The key is that those Maxim heavy machine guns and 37mm Maxim rapid-fire guns still take some effort to get up the cliff.

"I can't wait, Yaya, tell your people to hurry up—" Anton was so anxious that he ordered Yaya to run forward with the troops under the guidance of the guide.

Hurry up, NO.11 night, Anton finally arrived at the scheduled location before the scheduled time.

Anton really didn't expect that the exit of the canyon was still very lively at this time. Many people lit torches and made noise at the exit of the canyon. Men were yelling, women were begging, children were crying, the mess was almost like a bar.

"The rebels set up a defense line at the exit of the valley to prevent the rebels and their families from escaping. These women and children want to return to the tribe, and the soldiers will not let them go—" Anton's guide ran to the canyon exit and listened for a while , and then come back and explain to Anton.

"Captain, set up a position outside the exit of the canyon—" Anton remained silent, commanding the troops to immediately set up a defensive line.

The terrain is dangerous, and the terrain is dangerous. On the other side of the canyon, the rebels are strictly defending. If the Northern Division of Rhodesia wants to attack, it will definitely pay a heavy price.

On the canyon side, Anton and the others blocked the canyon entrance, and it was not easy for the rebels to break through.

Not easy, almost impossible.

At the exit of the canyon, there is a cliff on one side and a river on the other. Although there is not much water flow in the river now, in places like Africa, there are crocodiles and hippos in any small ditch. The passing road is only tens of meters wide, and Anton and the others are not familiar with the terrain. Otherwise, there is no need for a battalion, a company is sent over, and two heavy machine guns are placed at the exit. As long as there are enough bullets, no matter how many rebels come. not afraid.

Anton and the others didn't have heavy weapons, but they brought a lot of Madsen light machine guns. There were more than a dozen Madsen guns in an army of more than 100 people, which was enough to block the exit of the canyon.

The position hadn't been completed yet, and the rebels at the exit of the canyon finally reached an agreement, and hundreds of old and weak women and children mixed with the rebels rushed towards Fang County in a mess.

"Shoot—" Anton was not polite, there was no need to warn at this time, and there was no need to put it in and then fight to pursue some record, just let go and shot.

Da, da da da——

The rate of fire of the Madsen light machine gun is 450 rounds per minute, which cannot keep up with the 600 rounds per minute of the Maxim heavy machine gun, but it is still very fast compared to the rifle.

The magazine of the Madsen light machine gun is also filled according to the method of one tracer bullet for every five bullets. It still looks pretty good at night. Rock will definitely sigh here, just like an LED light strip.

Anton didn't bother to appreciate it. These chains of fire are actually life harvesters. The 6.5mm caliber full-charge bullets are not much less lethal than the 7.7mm bullets, and they hit people with a single shot.

More than a dozen Madsen light machine guns fired together, and the rebels ran around like headless flies that had blown up the battalion. The clever ones were still shouting angrily. The translator listened and came over with a smile to tell Anton .

"These people, thought we were rebels too, let's stop shooting—"

laugh?

What's so funny about this?

Those who are crying in the hail of bullets are also compatriots who are interpreters, don't they have any sympathy?

Anton's evaluation of the Zulu people is another level lower. This is different from whether he treats the enemy as ruthlessly as the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves. On the battlefield, Anton will not be soft, and he will order to shoot when it is time to shoot. , Anton would not hesitate when changing the gun, but no matter what, no matter whether the dead were Zulu or Chinese, Anton couldn't laugh.

This is respect for life, and has nothing to do with the relationship between the enemy and us.

The smile of the translator is actually a disregard for life, which Anton really disagrees with.

Basically every Madsen light machine gun emptied a magazine before Anton and the officers ordered a ceasefire.

There was no sound in front of the camp, not even wailing or pleading, as if those people had never appeared before, only the torches everywhere trembling in the night wind.

"Take your people to the front, gather all the torches, and make a few fires." Anton ordered the translator, since he likes to read jokes so much, let you watch them up close.

"Sir, can we help clean up the battlefield?" The interpreter didn't realize that something was wrong at all, and now he was thinking about the belongings of those who died just now.

"Oh, of course." Anton laughed back angrily. That's good, so that Anton doesn't need to have any mercy when dealing with these Zulus in the future.

Anton could only comfort himself in this way.

As a result, the exit of the canyon soon became lively again. Just now, there were still rebels who lay down and escaped the machine gun fire. Now the little blacks began to clean up the battlefield, and those who pretended to be dead had nowhere to hide.

It has to be said that the little blacks are really black in their attacks. As long as they find someone who is seriously injured and dying, or who is slightly injured and not dead, they will usually be stabbed with one knife. As for those who pretend to be dead, it often takes a few more stabs fatal.

The scattered torches on the ground at the exit of the canyon were quickly gathered, and several huge bonfires were lit on the ground, completely illuminating the exit of the canyon.

The translator came to Anton with a burden on his back, still smiling, and spread the burden, asking Anton to pick it first.

This is also the rule. The spoils of cleaning the battlefield must be picked first by those with high status. Although the little blacks have been busy for so long, they can't get anything in the end, only those things that the soldiers of the teaching camp don't like. Xiao Hei will be cheaper in the end.

Anton really didn't want it, but look at the happy little blacks and the soldiers staring at him——

Anton sighed, and reached out to take a handmade wood carving from the bag.

The interpreter immediately cheered, and then graciously invited other fighters to pick the trophies.

The wood carving in Anton's hand seems to be a family of three, with a man and a woman on both sides, and a little girl with long hair in the middle.

This probably used to be a happy family, but it's a pity that the family is now fragmented, just like the woodcarving in Anton's hands.
