Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 365 Hutil's Tactics

Basutoland is full of baobab trees. The fruit of this tree is about 15 to 20 centimeters long. The calcium content is more than 50% higher than that of spinach, and it contains high antioxidant components. The vitamin C content is three times that of a single orange. times, not only the fruit but also the leaves can be eaten, and the taste is not bad. If the fruit of the baobab tree is dissolved in milk or water, it can also be used as a drink. Even the seeds of the baobab tree can be extracted for cooking oil. .

In 2008, the European Union approved baobab fruit as an ingredient in juices and cereal bars.

In 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved baobab dried pulp as a food ingredient generally recognized as safe.

Since the baobab tree is so good, of course Rock will not let it go. In Nyasaland and Johannesburg, the baobab tree is now being promoted as an important economic crop.

Specific to Basutoland, since there are such rich natural resources, don’t think about how diligent the Zulu people are. Unlike the Chinese who work hard to farm and store food, the Zulu people have no awareness of food storage at all, and they have nothing to eat. Just go find a baobab tree in the wild, so the situation for the rebels is very embarrassing.

Before dawn, Suo Chao and Yaya led a large force to join Anton. At this time, Anton had commanded the troops to repel three attacks by the rebels.

Even if Bambata's military literacy is not good enough, he also knows what it means to be cut off from the back road. Sehrabatebe is a canyon, and Bambata has set up three lines of defense in the canyon. He hopes to use these lines of defense to win a An opportunity to negotiate peacefully with the Natal government.

Under normal circumstances, the Rhodesian Northern Division must pay a huge price if it wants to break through these lines of defense.

Now this problem does not exist. After Bambata retreated to Sehrabatebe, he was busy setting up the defense line. Before he had time to hoard supplies, the Rhodesian Northern Division only needed to block the two ends of the canyon. In a few days, the rebels would Complete breakdown.

In fact, even if Bambata wants to hoard supplies, Basutoland doesn’t have much surplus food. Africa is so rich that the Zulu people don’t need to farm, graze, or even risk hunting. They can just pick the fruit. Had a great time.

The baobab tree is the culprit that makes Africans so lazy.

It may be arbitrary to say this, but the laziness of Africans is undeniable.

After three consecutive attacks, the rebels lost at least 1000 people.

It sounds a bit unbelievable, right? When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and if you can’t open the passage, it means that one hundred thousand rebels will be trapped to death. Even in this case, the rebels’ fighting will is still very weak. Every attack , The rebels are all powerful, but it's a pity that as soon as the sound of Madsen's light machine gun sounds, the rebels start to disperse and flee.

"Set up the heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns, and arrange for the soldiers to rest in batches. Let's just sit back and wait for rabbits—" Anton laughed. The [-] rebels in the canyon are now [-] fat pigs, or [-] pigs. Thousands of military medals that can walk, after this battle, I don't know how many nobles will be born in the Northern Division of Rhodesia.

Even in the Boer War, the British Expeditionary Force did not defeat [-] enemies at once, not to mention that the Northern Division of Rhodesia is not defeated, but wiped out at once. If this goal is achieved, then the four colonies in southern Africa will all be defeated. It is impossible for London not to offer a reward for the northern division of Rhodesia, not to mention Roque, and Ade did not agree.

"Sir, if necessary, I think I can persuade Bambata to surrender." Modiba was unwilling to be lonely.

"Hehe, how are you going to persuade Bambata to surrender?" Anton was noncommittal, let alone whether Modiba has this ability, even if he did, Anton would not let Modiba go.

Just kidding, although the rebel army is now a turtle in the urn, there are still 10 people after all. At this time, whoever can persuade the rebel army to surrender will be the first. Modiba wants to pick peaches, which is too beautiful.

"I'll tell Bambata that if he surrenders, he doesn't have to be killed." There was a speculative light in Modiba's eyes, which Anton didn't like very much.

"You don't have this right, everyone else can live forever, Modiba is dead!" Anton refused fiercely.

"I understand, I understand. I just have this condition to tempt him. After he surrenders, we can deal with him at will—" Modiba hastily explained, not to mention Anton, even Yaya can't see it.

Snapped!

Yaya slapped Modiba fiercely on the face, knocked Modiba to the ground, and kicked Modiba without thinking: "Are you crazy about thinking about good things—the advantage of this is you The—Lord turned out to be perfidious—do you think we're fools—"

"No, I don't, I just want to help, I just want to make amends—" Modiba hugged his head and curled up on the ground. This posture seems humiliating, but it actually protects the head and internal organs very well , It looks like Yaya kicked badly, but in fact, he will not be seriously injured.

Anton and Suo Chao remained silent. Anton glanced at Suo Chao, and Suo Chao smiled, with a cold expression on his face.

This is a poisonous snake that chooses people to eat, and if you stay by your side, you will be eaten back sooner or later. In order to eliminate this hidden danger, then it is impossible to say——

It's actually very easy.

"Strong fortresses are often breached from the inside, so Martin, no matter what time it comes, he must strengthen the education of the troops, so that the soldiers are willing to fight for their families and Nyasaland from the bottom of their hearts. The more we emphasize honor, the less they will do things that violate honor, the more we emphasize family, the more they are willing to do anything for their family." Rock put down the binoculars in his hand and looked at the rebel defense line not far away. Light clouds.

Regarding belief, this is an eternal topic. The most famous Crusade in the history of European warfare has been fought for more than 100 years, relying on the firm belief of generations of knights.

Not to mention, the Boer War that just ended, if the flames of war hadn't reached their hometown, and if their relatives hadn't faced the threat of war, then the Boers would not have fought to the end, and would have followed suit.

Specific to Nyasaland, Rock will of course use various methods to maintain the morale of the troops and strengthen the determination of the troops. Honor and relatives are the most effective means. Of course, practical benefits are also indispensable. Tal, the military expenditure promised by Ade is 15 pounds, and the military expenditure promised by Natal is 30 pounds. Adding Cape and Orange, the income of the Northern Rhodesian Division should be around [-] pounds.

Of course, Rock will not take this money for himself. Except for the necessary expenses, Rock will use all the money as a reward and distribute it to all the commanders and fighters who participated in this battle.

Don't forget, there are also the seizures during the battle, which are also private income, so after this trip, even the militia members in charge of logistics, everyone's income is estimated to be more than [-] pounds.

Rock is also a person who has worked part-time, and his behavior of only talking about feelings without talking about money is bullshit.

"Lord, don't worry about this. The families of all the officers and soldiers of our northern Rhodesian division are in Nyasaland. There is absolutely no problem in this regard." Martin is not worried. Compared with most armies in this era, northern Rhodesia The teacher is absolutely superb in ideological work.

When Martin mentioned his family, he did not use his family to threaten the officers and soldiers to fight bravely.

In 1903, the Chinese had a deep-rooted concept of clan. The bottom line for family members to behave in the world was not to shame the family. Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the Rhodesian Northern Division did not need to threaten them at all. If they did something that would shame the family, There is no need for a military law office, and the elders in the family will be actively enforced by the family law.

This family law is not about beating and scolding for two days. It is normal to be beaten to death.

The reason for "martyrdom" is that in their hearts, humiliating the family is equivalent to death. They want to use this extreme method to prove their innocence to their relatives, friends and ancestors.

And, the innocence of the family!

This kind of moral restraint from the blood is much better than the brainwashing effect of dogma.

"That's good. We need to emphasize our martial spirit, but we can't be as extreme as Little Japan. You and Anton have to study this aspect." Rock hopes that the Chinese will be tough, but he doesn't want the Chinese to be like the Japanese. extreme.

"What happened to Little Japan?" Martin certainly didn't know that period of history, and it hasn't happened yet.

"It's nothing—" Rock just opened his mouth when he suddenly found that the rebels' position in the canyon was a bit chaotic.

When the two armies are facing each other, the troops have already entered the position, and it is the most basic requirement to stay in their positions and not run around casually.

But from the binoculars, Rock clearly saw people running around in the rebel position.

"It is estimated that Anton's side has already started fighting, Martin, let's start—" Rock didn't hesitate, he was trying to kill you while you were sick.

blah blah-

The first to show off was the bang bang cannon.

The position of the rebels was soon shrouded in gunpowder. When the 37mm grenade exploded, it could produce more than 200 fragments. The fatal range was five meters in radius, and the shrapnel was still lethal at a distance of 30 meters. In theory, the 37mm Maxim The rate of fire of the rapid-fire gun is 200 to 300 rounds per minute, which means that it can empty a standard ammunition box of 12 rounds in just 60 seconds.

Six 37mm Maxim rapid-fire guns fired together, and in just a dozen seconds, the rebel position was completely silent.

At this time, E Company left the starting position and launched an attack on the rebel position.

"Martin, we still need to practice infantry coordination later on." Rock discovered another deficiency.

"What is infantry coordination?" Martin was very curious.

"Infantry coordination—" Rock wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start.

Infantry coordination is actually a combat method that focuses on infantry actions and coordinates artillery firepower with infantry actions.

It sounds simple, but infantry coordination did not get attention until World War I. At that time, the general who was best at using "infantry coordination" was the German Eastern Front general Huthiel. His tactics were also called "Hutier". Tactics".
