Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 687

The income of the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company is still very rich. The salary plus overseas allowances and combat allowances are easily comparable to the British middle class. Coupled with the energy of the Umbrella Company, owning a [-]-acre farm in Bechuanaland is not a problem. difficulty.

This kind of scale is several thousand acres, which sounds like a fantasy in Huanggang. Lexus is already one of the richest men in Medan, and the plantation area is more than 4000 acres. In fact, it is not as good as an ordinary umbrella company. of mercenaries.

"If it is an ordinary immigrant, the land allocated by the state government is definitely not so much, but there is still one or two hundred acres, which is more than enough to support a family." Hicks did not lie. I don't know how long it can be implemented. It depends on the speed of immigration increase. When the population of Bechuanaland reaches a certain level, this benefit will definitely be cancelled.

"I, I want to go back and discuss it with my family." Huang Gang was indeed tempted, but not to the point of immediately putting it into action.

The main problem is credibility. Southern Africa has just started immigrating from the Qing Dynasty, and the Chinese in Qing Dynasty are also suspicious and hesitant. Some people even get the ocean sent by their relatives, and they think it is a carefully arranged scam. good thing.

In recent years, more and more ships have traveled between the Qing Dynasty and southern Africa, and more and more Chinese have traveled to and from the Qing Dynasty, which will make more Chinese believe that these benefits are real.

It is a pity that the Qing Dynasty has noticed the frantic immigration in southern Africa in recent years, and it has become more and more difficult to emigrate through regular channels, so southern Africa tried to immigrate from Southeast Asia.

"Then you have to hurry up. Recently, many people have applied to immigrate to southern Africa. The port of Medan leaves almost every other day. If the benefits are cancelled, don't say I lied to you." Sigg Si can only talk to this extent. If there is an opportunity, it depends on whether you can grasp it.

Before Huang Gang could speak, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded from a nearby position.

The Second East India Division finally launched another attack, and it had been more than an hour since the last attack.

The troops participating in the attack were about 800 people in a battalion. These soldiers were forced by the officers to line up in a crooked queue, and they were launching a group charge towards the mercenary positions.

Unlike the group charge of the British army, if the British army initiates a group charge, then the officers should be at the forefront of the team.

The officers of the Second East India Division obviously did not have the courage, and even the white officers did not participate in the attack at all, but stayed at the starting position to command the only Maxim to supervise the battle.

Those guys who participated in the attack were really unlucky. If they walked forward, they would be hit by the firepower of mercenaries, and if they retreated, they would die under their own guns. Many people's expressions were desperate and crazy.

"Hold on, hold on, hold on—" Hicks reminded loudly that the general-purpose machine gun beside him had been replaced with a tripod. In fact, the attacking troops of the Second East India Division were now within range of the bullets.

In order to maximize the killing effect, Hicks must still put the Second East India Division closer to fight. If he shoots now, the enemy may escape. Originally, the mercenaries wanted to capture prisoners, but along the way After so many tragedies, David decided not to keep a single prisoner, but to wipe out all the Second East India Division as an example to others.

Don't forget that most of the people who were killed were Chinese or ethnic Chinese. There may be Baba and Nyonya in the Second East India Division, but these people are not worthy of forgiveness.

At 500 meters, the positions of the first squadron and the two nearby squadrons maintained a tacit understanding and did not shoot.

At 300 meters, Hicks was still able to calm down, and some officers in the nearby positions began to shout "ready——"

At 200 meters, some soldiers of the Second East India Division couldn't bear to raise their guns to aim at the mercenary position. More than 20 light and heavy machine guns on the positions of the three squadrons fired together.

Hicks didn't know what a meat grinder was, but for a moment, the front of the battlefield was really filled with blood and flesh.

The bright lights are the tracer bullets marking the trajectory, and the flesh and blood flying is the Second East India Division which is charging in a group.

From Hicks' point of view, the soldiers of the Second East India Division who were attacking were swept down row by row as if they were cutting wheat. There were large gaps in the original dense formation, and some of the surviving soldiers Two seconds of sluggishness, and then panicked and turned around and ran away.

It's a pity that no matter how fast two legs run, they can't run faster than a bullet that exceeds the speed of sound. The machine gunners of the umbrella company are experienced workers who have undergone strict training and are fed with bullets. Under the guidance of tracer bullets, the fastest soldiers can also run Before running 100 meters, it took about 30 seconds before and after, and all the troops of a battalion were wiped out.

There was no time for the law enforcement team of the Second East India Division to do it.

"How are you guys, have you got any grades?" Hicks asked Huang Gang after the gunshots subsided.

"It seems to be there. I seem to have hit one, but it seems—" Huang Gang's face was flushed. Hicks hadn't fired a single shot just now, but Huang Gang emptied a five-round magazine.

It's not that Hicks is lazy, but that Hicks trusts those strictly trained machine gunners. Even if these machine gunners are placed in the British Army, they are worthy of the title of "elite" and are qualified to embroider the logo on their sleeves.

Huang Gang is purely passionate, and this kind of situation usually happens to recruits.

"The enemy needs us to shoot when he enters within 100 meters. As long as the machine gunner is not killed in battle, our biggest role is to prepare to throw grenades. If the enemy is 50 meters closer to the position, then we have to throw grenades, and then bayonets, ready to fight with the enemy. Hand-to-hand combat." Hicks did not hesitate to impart experience, the faster Huang Gang and his recruits grow, the easier it will be for Hicks and the others.

"Understood—do you need us to clean up the battlefield?" Huang Gang was eager to try.

Those soldiers who were killed were actually money. The mercenaries might not look down on the oil and water on the soldiers of the Second East India Division, but it was still a problem for the soldiers of the Medan Army, even if they were tattered and blood-stained. The clothes, washed and mended, can actually be worn. They are all children from poor families, and they don't pay much attention to them.

"Not yet, you will become targets if you leave the position now - and those are not all corpses, there must be someone pretending to be dead, when you clean up the battlefield, you should pay attention to replenishing knives and guns, and don't move corpses casually, maybe someone There is a grenade under the corpse." Hicks ear said, but in fact, it is too much to worry about, now only the southern African army in the world uses grenades on a large scale, and using grenades to make various booby traps is a specialty of mercenaries.

In the various confrontation training live ammunition exercises in southern Africa, the booby traps have caused many troops to suffer a lot. Later, the Southern African Ministry of National Defense simply compiled a booby trap production tutorial, which is now Nyasaland Army Academy. teaching materials.

"Will the person on the other side collect the corpse?" Huang Gang stretched his neck to look at it, his eyes were really hot.

"Be careful—" Hicks reminded, and then called a precision shooter to signal: "Can you see that white officer?"

Hicks was referring to a white officer of the 700nd East India Division who was looking at Hicks with a telescope under a big tree about [-] meters away.

"Okay—" The precision shooter looked through the binoculars before adjusting the scope.

700 meters is actually a bit far for a precise shooter, but it is trivial for a sniper. After all, the rifle used by the sniper is equipped with a quadruple scope produced by Nyasaland.

"Hold your breath, aim patiently, one hit kills—" Hicks babbled, the precision shooter didn't speak, and pulled the trigger ten seconds later.

It is indeed a one-hit kill!

"Beautiful! Pay attention to observation, and shoot when you see someone. Let's not take prisoners this time." Hicks was satisfied, and the value of a precision shooter was like this.

What Hicks didn't know was that it was Derek Rowland, Major General of the Second East India Division, who was killed by the precision shooter just now.

Even if he knew, Hicks wouldn't care. Swords and guns have no eyes on the battlefield. Since he came to the battlefield, he must have the awareness of being killed at any time.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the "Albatross" bomber that departed from the Medan Port Airport finally arrived in Xianda.

Aircraft dispatch in this era is very troublesome, because there is no radio, no electronic map, pilots can only rely on experience to find combat targets.

But experience is useless in unfamiliar areas, so the guidance of ground targets is needed at this time. Usually, the ground uses a fire to indicate the direction and target.

So the "Albatross" has not arrived until now.

The first batch consisted of three "Albatross". Originally, the "Albatross" bomber could carry 400 kilograms of torpedoes, but now the torpedoes are replaced with 50 kilograms of bombs, which are limited to the pylons under the wings. One "Albatross" can only carry six bombs. .

Six bombs are enough. Xianda is a village with only more than 1000 people. Now nearly 50 troops are squeezed in. One can imagine the density. Eighteen [-] kg bombs are enough to blow Xianda upside down.

The army of this era did not have the habit of digging air-raid shelters, nor did they have anti-aircraft weapons. However, in Tripolitania, the Italian ground forces used rifles to successfully shoot down a "Gale" fighter jet purchased by the Ottoman Empire from Nyasaland. It is said that the pilot was killed. Killed, and then the plane crashed, which is also the first plane in the world to be shot down by ground forces.

The Italian army is not yet the laughing stock of the whole of Europe, and its combat effectiveness is still there, at least stronger than the Second East India Division.

So when the three "Albatross" flew into the sky above Xianda in a zigzag formation, many soldiers of the Second East India Division were watching the fun below, and even the officers and soldiers in those rooms were attracted out.

When the three "Albatross" dropped their bombs, a miracle finally happened. The mercenaries on the ground and the soldiers of the Second East India Division were actually cheering. The mercenaries were celebrating their victory. The soldiers of the Second East India Division It's just to watch the fun.
