Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 71

The 37mm machine gun is actually an enlarged version of the Maxim heavy machine gun. The ordinary Maxim heavy machine gun has a caliber of 11.43mm, and the enlarged version of the Maxim heavy machine gun has a caliber of 37mm. This gun will make a "bang bang" sound when shooting , so it is also called "Bang Bang Cannon". It is more convenient to move than the artillery used by the British army, and it is also very powerful. It is a rare heavy firepower for the Boer coalition. I suffered from the "bang bang cannon".

While Rock was waiting for fire support, Henry was also suffering.

"Oh, is this how you annihilated the Boer guerrillas? It seems that you are very lucky. I guess you have encountered a group of real Boers." The major spoke with sarcasm, and looked at Henry with disdain in his eyes.

Boer means peasants, and the major also has a pun. While laughing at Henry, he also ridiculed that Henry may have committed suicide by killing good men. This kind of thing is not uncommon. The Boer coalition army was originally composed of peasants. No, at most it is a militia. Put down your guns, the soldiers of the Boer coalition army are no different from ordinary Boer farmers.

After mocking Henry, the major turned his eyes and saw a row of figures behind the parapet of the starting position, and immediately burst into anger: "A group of cowards, Captain Henry, order your men to move forward, otherwise you and yours His subordinates will be dealt with by military law."

From the Major's point of view, Rock and the others are afraid of the enemy now, and they will be executed on the battlefield. The British army emphasizes courage and discipline, and any act of fear will be severely punished by military law.

"They are not cowards, Mr. Major, please respect those who just died in battle. They also fought for the British Empire." Henry glared at each other, never hating a person so much.

"The British Empire needs fearless warriors, not cowards. Look at what your people have done. They have no tactical skills. This is how you annihilated the Boer guerrillas? No one expects you to be able to annihilate Boer guerrillas, please think carefully before making up lies." The major was not polite to Henry, who is now considered a public enemy of the military.

"I've already told you that you can interrogate those captives, and they will tell you everything." Henry blushed, and approached the major two steps, clenched his fists, already on the verge of eruption.

"I will!" The major did not give in at all, and roared face to face with Henry.

"Lock marked the positions of the Boers' machine guns and told the artillery to kill them." Phyllis broke the deadlock, her voice still clear.

"Damn nobleman!" The major looked at Henry enviously, and muttered in a low voice.

This is a standard British person, with a distaste for integrity in his mouth, cursing nobles in his mouth, but the envy in his eyes says everything.

Regardless of arrogance and prejudice, the major still has basic military qualities, and the quality of the British artillery is also good. Soon, the artillery units launched another fire attack on the Boer coalition positions according to the position marked by Rock.

After the round of shelling just now, Rock already had a general understanding of the level of British artillery, so this time, as soon as the artillery sounded, Rock and the others took the initiative to leave the parapet and advance towards the slope in the direction of two o'clock.

"Sure enough, they are a group of trash. They left the starting position before the shelling stopped. Even if they don't die under the guns of the Boers, they will die under the gunfire of their own people. Stop shooting, stop shooting." The major has his own judgment on the situation. He didn't take the opportunity to kill Rock and the others. As soon as Rock left the starting position, the major ordered the artillery to cease fire.

Henry also didn't understand why Rock and the others had to leave the starting position when the bombardment was in progress. The British artillery had to carry out a fire attack for at least half an hour.

On the contrary, Phyllis understands why Rock is doing this, so Phyllis is firm: "I can't stop, give Locke enough firepower to cover."

The major turned his head and gave Phyllis a cold look, but ignored her at all.

Unlike the controversial artillery, Rock at the foot of the mountain is in a dilemma. Rock doesn't know what happened to the artillery position, but the artillery stops firing, which will immediately put the advancing commandos in great danger. At this time, if the Boer coalition forces If you fire, Rock and the others will definitely suffer huge casualties. Don't underestimate the marksmanship of the Boers. They are also known as "everyone is a sharpshooter."

Fortunately, the Boers did not expect that the firepower of the British artillery this time would be so anticlimactic, and the shelling stopped just 2 minutes after it started. This is completely different from the previous style of the British artillery.

Without any danger, Rock led the commandos to reach the predetermined slope smoothly.

At this time, the real battle has just begun.

Rock waited for a while to make sure that the shelling had stopped, and then he signaled to the heavy machine gun position behind the parapet: "Again, use the alternate cover of the terrain to move forward, and keep an eye on the Boers above. He kills it, then moves on—”

Following Roque's order, the heavy machine guns began to suppress the fire, and Roque led the commandos to attack from the other side of the Boer coalition position.

Thanks to the jagged rocks on the hillside, Rock and the others did not lack cover. Although it was safer to move forward with alternate cover, the speed was definitely slower. In the eyes of the major, all this was another sign of timidity and cowardice.

"Cowards, what a bunch of cowards, damn it, they have tarnished the honor of the Imperial Army, they should all be sent to a court-martial." The major cursed, wishing he could rush up and force the commandos to make an honorable charge with a pistol.

"We're just the police, not the Imperial Army." Henry was terrified. Rock and the others are now in great danger. If they are not careful, they will lose everything: "What's more, they have been advancing and have not stagnated Before, you, the guy sitting in the rear bunker, what qualifications do you have to accuse them?"

"Bastard, you are too presumptuous!" The major was so embarrassed by Henry's spray that he turned around and confronted Henry.

"You bastard, we are the police, we shouldn't be here, but now we have to charge instead of you, and we have to bear the insult of you bastard, if you have the ability to take down the Boers' position, what is it? Who is incompetent?" Henry broke the can, since he had already offended him, he should offend him more severely.

"That's enough. Isn't the most important thing now is the ongoing battle? You have time to quarrel, why don't you compare and see who kills more Boers." Phyllis really couldn't bear it.

If this lady of the big family releases her nature, she can spray more than men.

　There really is more, it's not an April Fool's Day spoof——
