Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 572 Forty Germans

When the No.30 Fifth Division was struggling to move forward, the Lions had actually been looking for an opportunity to attack the No.30 Fifth Division.

However, such an opportunity is not easy to find. After all, the No.30 Fifth Division is not the Second Tanganyika Division, and the Lions Regiment, which has just formed an army, is not a rigorously trained Nyasaland Assault Regiment. Terry Dunlop took human lives to pile up. Numerous exercises in the northern division of Rhodesia proved that the crowd tactics are not effective in the face of automatic weapons. The equipment of the No.30 Fifth Division is better than that of the Tanganyika Second Division A lot, and the equipment of the Lions Regiment is much worse than that of the Nyasaland Assault Regiment. The two battles are different. The method used by the Nyasaland Assault Regiment to annihilate the second division of Tanganyika was used in this Lion Regiment. does not apply.

"According to the current speed, in three days, the No.30 Fifth Division will arrive at Fort Helmut—" Mumu looked at Wu Ben with anticipation, obviously hoping that the Lions can copy Nyasaland The miracle performed by the Assault Regiment at the Battle of Fort Helmut.

"This time we can no longer use the previous method. I can guarantee that if we snipe the No.30 Fifth Division at Fort Helmut, then the No.30 Fifth Division will not attack at all, but will surround us and wait for support At that time, we will be completely passive." Wu Ben also wanted to replicate the miracle of the Nyasaland assault group, but the objective situation did not allow it.

Although the No.30 Fifth Division has just been established, it is a complete infantry division after all, with a total number of more than 8000 people.

The total number of lions and the auxiliary troops is only about [-]. In a frontal battle, even if they hurt the enemy by [-], they will lose [-] of them.

Such a loss-making business cannot be done.

"Then what should we do?" Mumu was also Alexander during this period. The total strength of the Honor Fort troops is now less than 3, and the reinforcements from Germany and the local servants in Tanganyika have exceeded 7. , the balance of power between the two sides is still very different.

"Abandon Honor Fort, we will cross Rukwa Lake and head towards Caparara, jump out of the German encirclement, and then wait for an opportunity to attack the German army. As long as we can defeat a German army, we can break the German encirclement and suppression." Wu Ben has a plan. , but the sacrifice is a bit big.

Mu Mu is obviously not willing to give up the Honor Hold.

Honor Hold is located near the border between Tanganyika and Nyasaland, and it is very convenient to get all kinds of supplies aided by Nyasaland.

If the battle is tight, the Honor Fort troops can even retreat into the territory of Nyasaland to recuperate, thus avoiding the encirclement and suppression of the German army.

So all along, the Fort of Honor troops have been developing around the Fort of Honor, and the rebels in Tanganyika also use "Fort of Honor" as their name, which shows the importance of Fort of Honor to Mumu.

"Don't be reluctant. The Germans can't stay in Honor Fort forever. When the Germans withdraw, Honor Fort will still be yours." Wu Ben still comforted him, comparing his heart to that of Wu Ben. No matter at any time, he might not want to Abandon Nyasaland.

The circumstances are different, but the emotions are the same.

"Then how should we cross Lake Lukwa—" Mumu was not stupid, although she was reluctant, she still accepted this reality.

"Leave this problem to me. You can arrange it now. We definitely can't evacuate all of them. Send women and children to Xuanwu City. Let's move forward lightly—" Wu Ben's words also concealed murderous intentions, sending women and children to Xuanwu City. Going to Nyasaland actually controlled the Fort Honor troops.

Mumu didn't seem to realize it at all, and readily agreed to Wu Ben's suggestion.

In fact, even if he realizes it, Mu Mu has no choice. There are more than 5 troops near the Fort of Honor, and women and children add up to more than [-]. With a mouth, it will definitely affect the speed of the troops, and eventually even bring disaster.

That night, the lion group received the last batch of supplies supported by Xuanwu City at the border, and at the same time transferred the old and weak women and children to Nyasaland for resettlement.

Martin taught Wu Ben face-to-face the opportunity and asked Wu Ben to act according to circumstances. If the situation in Tanganyika collapsed, Wu Ben must at least ensure his own safety and bring the troops back as much as possible.

"My lord asked me to send you a radio. No matter what happens, you must get in touch with the headquarters in time. If necessary, you can withdraw from Tanganyika. You must not leave any evidence for the Germans—" Martin also knew This trip was extremely dangerous, and Martin was obviously more concerned about Wu Ben's Lions than the Honor Fort troops.

For the Lions, the Fort of Honor troops are actually servants, the kind that can be given up at any time.

This is the meaning of the existence of the servant army. In name, it is to provide assistance to the regular army. In fact, the servant army is responsible for all kinds of dirty work, including sacrifices for the regular army at critical moments.

In addition to guns and ammunition, the materials received by the Lions Group also included a batch of medicines and a dozen field doctors who had received rigorous training.

Most of these doctors are Africans. They were sent by Yaya to the Johannesburg Medical School to train them. The doctor who led the team was called Edward. Because he had the same name as King Edward VII of the British Empire, he was nicknamed "King".

This can be regarded as a Western characteristic. If it is in the hierarchical East, calling this nickname is tantamount to courting death. It does not matter in southern Africa. Now that southern Africa has become self-governing, the control over this aspect is getting weaker and weaker.

From the second day on, the Fort Honor troops, including the Lions, marched towards Lake Ruqua, preparing to cross Lake Ruqua and jump out of the encirclement of the German army.

Prior to this, a force of about 3000 people was ordered to launch an attack on the No. 30 Fifth Division of the German Army to cover the movement of the main force and delay the offensive of the German army.

These 3000 people were actually abandoned children. Unfortunately, they still didn't know anything about it. They thought it was part of the plan to attack the German army, so they happily left Fort Honor and headed towards Fort Helmut.

At this time, Wu Ben and Mu Mu will be able to achieve the ancient well without waves, and once they succeed in everything, there is no way to do it. When the living lives become numbers on the battle report, no matter how rich the feelings are, people will gradually become cold blooded.

Five days later, the No.30 Sixth Division, which departed from Ping An Harbor, arrived at Honor Fort on time.

Compared with the No.30 Fifth Division, the No.30 Sixth Division was relatively calm, and was hardly attacked by guerrillas along the way.

So the No.30 Sixth Division went up and down very easily. After arriving at the Fort of Honor, or after occupying the Fort of Honor, Erich von Falkenhayn and Alva Butler, the commander of the No.30 Sixth Division, inspected the Fort of Honor .

The key is the naturally formed road between Fort of Honor and Xuanwu City.

During this period of time, Glory Castle has received assistance from Xuanwu City many times. A few days ago, tens of thousands of people moved from Glory Castle to Xuanwu City, so now a road has been formed between Glory Castle and Xuanwu City, and the road conditions are not bad. Not bad, not as good as the roads in Nyasaland, but better than most roads in Tanganyika.

Erich von Falkenhain noticed that there were obvious signs of repairs on the road, and many small stones were used on the shoulders of the road, which were smashed very hard. It seemed that the Fort Honor troops had spent a lot of effort on this road.

"It seems that the Nyasaran people's support for the Honor Hold rebels is not groundless—" Alva Butler said some nonsense, but in his position, some things can't be said casually, and there is no evidence , and the status is very high, just another sentence may cause international disputes.

"Find a way to get in touch with General Martin of Rhodesia's Northern Division. I hope to meet him at the right time." Erich von Falkenhain actually wanted to see Rock, but unfortunately Rock is now It was the Viscount, the Deputy Minister of Defense of Southern Africa, the Deputy Minister of Justice, and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. He really didn't have time to see Erich von Falkenhayn.

The so-called lack of time is an excuse. No matter how busy Roque is, he still has some time to squeeze in. The key is the mismatch of identities. Even if you are busy, you have to save face.

"The Nyasaland people are too much. These orientals are like locusts. They filled Nyasaland in just a few years. I heard that there are Chinese everywhere from Nyasaland to Transvaal. I really don’t know what the British think, aren’t they afraid that the large number of Chinese will affect the status of the British in southern Africa?” Alva Butler is still worried about the British, which is a bit out of character.

"Hehe, if Germany also has a colony of 2000 million square kilometers, then we won't care about a small southern Africa—" Erich von Falkenhayn obviously had a clearer understanding of the British situation.

However, Erich von Falkenhayn did not understand why the submissive, humble and timid Chinese in the Qing Dynasty would experience such a big change in southern Africa.

What a magical land.

"2000 million, it's unimaginable, almost forty Germans—" Alva Butler couldn't help but sigh.

Now Germany's territorial area in Europe is about 54 square kilometers. In the whole of Europe, except for Russia, Germany is the country with the largest area.

This territorial area includes Alsace and Lorraine that Germany claimed from France through the Franco-Prussian War. France never forgets this and is deeply ashamed. That's why after World War I, France advocated the complete division of Germany.

However, Alva Butler still didn't notice that the calculation of the territorial area during this period included the area of ​​the colonies, otherwise the UK would not have 2000 million square kilometers.

Unfortunately, there were no remote sensing satellites at this time, so even the German government did not know the exact size of Tanganyika and Southwest Africa.

It is estimated that Germany probably has no chance to measure accurately.
