Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 68 Receipts

Authentic dum bullets, the tip of the warhead is not covered and the lead core is exposed. After the bullet is shot into the human body, the lead core expands or ruptures, thus expanding the wound surface and causing serious injury to personnel. It is directly hit by dum bullets at a distance of 100 meters , 20.00% death if shot to the head, 70.00% to die if shot to the limbs, all the rest amputated, [-]% to die if shot to the left chest near the heart, [-]% to die if shot to the right chest and abdomen.

The simple version of the dum bomb is very easy to make, as long as you use a file to slightly change the shape of the lower bullet, you can achieve the effect of increasing lethality.

Rock still doesn't know whether the British troops have used dum bombs, at least the Cape Town Police Department has not used such bullets before, but when the Boers start using dum bombs, Rock doesn't believe that the British People can resist not using it. After all, the earliest dum bomb was made by the British.

As the train gradually left the unknown hillside, Rock felt heavy. The four police officers who died had just arrived in Cape Town, and Rock didn't even have time to remember their names.

Although Roque would like to bring the dead Chinese policemen back to Cape Town for burial, there is no such condition. Next, Roque and the others will continue to go to Dordrecht, and they can only bury the four Chinese policemen who died in battle there. On an unknown hillside, Rock secretly recorded the nearby reference objects, hoping that there would be a chance in the future to move the bones of the four Chinese policemen back to Cape Town for burial.

"Don't worry about Locke. I will apply for the highest standard pension for them. The injured policemen don't have to worry. They can continue to work after they recover. Even if they can't work, the government will not let them go." Henry is still very good Yes, the British government these days is indeed very generous.

"Thank you, Henry." Rock knew that Henry had done what he could.

From the perspective of the families of the four Chinese policemen who died in battle, money certainly cannot make up for their pain, but it is good to have pensions. The average life expectancy is only over 30 years old these days, and the value of life is not very precious. If it was replaced by the Qing army who died in battle, it is hard to say whether there will be a pension.

-

Eleven captives were placed in different parts of the train. Thanks to the design of the open carriage, the captives were tied to the cross and placed directly in the carriage, so they could be seen from a distance.

The Boers were not as ruthless as Rock had imagined, and the rest went smoothly, and the train arrived in Dordrecht smoothly.

Dordrecht is a small town, which is already located in the Orange Free State, only 50 kilometers away from the besieged Ladysmith. Lord Roberts designed the Eastern Front Offensive from here.

Rock originally thought that as long as the supplies were sent to Dordrecht, the commando would be able to return directly, but after the commando arrived in Dordrecht, another accident happened.

"Captain Henry? Take your men and follow me." An officer wearing the rank of major signaled the commandos to follow him.

"Mr. Major, we are on a mission." Henry is not stupid, he is unwilling to go with the major, God knows where he will be taken.

"Captain Henry, your last mission has been completed, and now you have a new mission." The major remained expressionless.

"Mr. Major, we haven't completed the mission yet. This is only part of our mission. We have to go back to Cape Town to continue escorting supplies." Henry already felt bad, no matter what the new mission was, Henry was unwilling to accept it.

"As I said, the task of escorting supplies has been completed, and now you have to accept a new task." The major's expression was serious, and his gaze at Henry became more and more serious.

Henry was helpless, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and on the site of the Expeditionary Force Command, the commandos had no choice.

Then let's go, the commandos were packing their luggage on the simple platform, and the more than 40 war horses seized in the previous battle were also pulled out from the carriage. Looking at these war horses, the major had new requirements.

"Give these horses to the soldiers over there, you don't need horses in the future." The major finally had a smile on his face. The expeditionary force lacked horses, but more than 100 policemen were equipped with sixty or seventy horses. It was too extravagant.

"Mr. Major, these horses were captured by us in the battle before." Henry argued that the British army did not have the saying that all the captured horses should be returned to the public, not to mention that the commando is the police, and the military is completely two systems.

"Fight, what fight?" The major was impatient, looking at the commandos with undisguised contempt.

"We were attacked by the Boer partisans on the way to Dordrecht. We killed 35 members of the Boer partisans and captured the remaining 11. Those guys on the cross. These horses were captured by us. Yes." Henry is full of pride, even in the military, this can be regarded as a big victory.

It was indeed a big victory. In the Battle of Ladysmith a few months ago, the British army killed 1139 people and lost 250 people. The Boer army only killed 8 people and injured 30 people.

In the earlier Boer War, 170 British soldiers were killed, 280 were injured, and 54 were captured. The Boers only had 3 killed and 9 wounded.

From the first Boer War to the present, the British have never taken advantage of the Boers. The commandos killed 35 Boers and captured 11 in one battle. It is indeed a rare victory.

"35 were killed, 11 were captured, and dozens of horses were captured? Are you crazy or am I blind?" The major didn't believe it at all.

"I'm not crazy. As for Mr. Major, I don't know if you are blind, but if you want to know the facts, you just need to interrogate those prisoners." Henry also has a temper, not to mention that he has credit in hand, it is really a matter of the colony Is the father of the department chief a display?

By the way, the director's father is still a baron. Although the title is a little smaller, he is still a nobleman.

"As you wish, Captain Henry, of course I will have them interrogated. As for the horses, they are now requisitioned by the Expeditionary Command. I can issue you a receipt. When you return to Cape Town, you can go to Ask your governor for it." The major is not angry, probably because he has already learned about Henry's background, and his pretentious appearance makes people angry.

"Thank you, I will." Henry was serious, as long as he had the receipt from the expeditionary force headquarters, Henry really dared to ask Governor Alfred Milner for a horse, even though Alfred Milner was the governor, but Alfred Milner Fred Milner doesn't even have a knighthood yet, so Henry isn't really afraid of Alfred Milner.

Don't be afraid of returning home, people are under the eaves, bow your head when you should bow your head, hand the receipt to Phyllis for safekeeping, Henry and Rock organized the team, followed the major and walked out of the town, before leaving the town, Luo Ke K heard the rumble of guns in the distance.
