Chapter 72 Bad

During the entire Boer War, a total of 45 British soldiers participated in the battle, 1072 officers and 20870 soldiers were killed, and a total of 8.8 Boer coalition forces participated in the battle, with a total of only 3700 deaths.

It is worth mentioning that among the 8.8 Boer allied forces that participated in the war, 1.3 were Boers from the Cape Colony, and there were another [-] foreign volunteers. Therefore, although the final result was that Britain won the Boer War, But objectively speaking, the Boer War was a complete failure for Britain.

Both Henry and the major are standard British people, with unmatched verbal ability and lackluster practical ability. If they are really sent to the front line to fight the Boers, I am afraid they can only be expected to spray the Boers to death with their mouths.

In comparison, Rock is a standard action faction. During the charge to the Boer coalition position, Rock kept holding Lee Enfield, kept aiming, and killed those Boers who tried to counterattack at any time.

Really kill at any time, on the battlefield, Rock's adrenaline will also accelerate the secretion, which makes Rock's reaction faster, the hand holding the gun is more stable, and the mind is calmer. It is less than 50 meters from the slope , Rock has fired six shots, killing five Boers, except for the first shot that missed, one shot after another, all of them were headshots.

The more you go up, the more powerless the Boers' counterattack. Don't think that the Boers are so brave and good at fighting. Just like the British said, they are just a group of farmers. They can make a living in guerrilla warfare. When they really fight on the frontal battlefield, the Boer coalition forces have nothing to do. Advantage.

30 meters away from the Boer coalition position, Roque ordered Li De to ignite the prepared explosive package.

Looking at the burning fuse, Roque suddenly felt very relaxed. At this distance, if the Boers were equipped with grenades, it should be Roque who endured the bombardment of the grenades and launched a charge, but the Boers did not have grenades, so Roque had Enough time, watching the fuse is about to detonate the explosives, before throwing the explosives into the Boers' position.

The improvised explosive packs must be lacking in power, but the momentum remains undiminished. It is almost as powerful as the British artillery. With a few violent explosions, Rock clearly heard the desperate wailing and Screaming, it's time, Rock put the bayonet in the slot, picked up the rifle and rushed up quickly.

At this time, it is fast, the faster the better, Rock didn't even greet other commandos.

There is no need to say hello, the commandos are all looking at Roque. When Roque started to charge, the commandos did not hesitate and jumped out of the bunker with Roque.

The position of the Boer coalition army is indeed in chaos. They never thought that the British, who have always been well-behaved in combat, would make a dangerous move this time. Not only did they abandon the previous crowd tactics, but they dared to use them at such a short distance. The explosive package, although there are no shrapnel and steel balls after the explosive package exploded, the power of the shock wave is still not to be underestimated. The Boers within the range of the shock wave were shocked to death, and all the Boers within the affected area were dizzy. At that time, many people sat on the ground in a daze, at a loss. They didn't know how to take up the rifle to fight back even though the rifle was beside them. They just looked at the god-like Roque in a daze.

Rock didn't hesitate at this time. He stabbed a Boer to the ground with a thrust. When he pulled it out, he knocked down another Boer with the butt of his gun. When he stabbed the third Boer, Rock's rifle was shot by the Boer. Hugging tightly, Rock pulled out his Webley revolver, pointed at the Boer who was just waking up from a dream, and quickly shot out all the bullets in the pistol.

Enough is enough, as more and more commandos rushed to the position, fewer and fewer Boers tried to resist, and more Boers raised their hands and knelt down to surrender. Only then did they realize that Rock and the others were not white.

"God, you did it, Locke, you really did it." Henry, who arrived later, was incoherent, looking at Rock was really like looking at God.

It wasn't until the battle was over that his legs felt weak and his body was weak. Roque, who was sitting on an ammunition box to regain his breath, clenched his fist and slapped his chest: "Fortunately, it's not a disgrace!"

The major who came up with Henry had a gloomy expression. How contemptuous his attitude towards the commandos was before, how embarrassed he is now. If the guerrillas annihilated by the commandos were killing good deeds, then the corpses on the ground now cannot be faked. , All of this happened under the major's nose. Although the commandos didn't say anything, the major felt a burning pain on his face.

Rock and the others really didn't say anything, and Rock didn't even look at the major. The other Chinese policemen might not understand English, so they didn't know what the major said just now, but Rock heard it clearly.

To be honest, Roque can actually understand the major’s attitude. Just like the Qing Dynasty now, when the Chinese don’t show any performance, don’t expect to be respected by others. There are three of the four ancient civilizations, and two of them are In the colonies of the British, why did the Chinese gain the respect of the British?

You can only rely on your own performance!

Rock believes that after today, the entire Eastern Front should know how fierce the Chinese police in Cape Town are. On this basis, if someone dares to speak rudely, Rock will let him know the fists of the Chinese police in Cape Town without hesitation. How cruel.

"Mr. Major, the Cape Town police successfully completed their mission, killing 125 members of the Boer coalition forces, capturing 89 members of the Boer coalition forces, and successfully occupying the position of the Boer coalition forces—" Rock didn't want to talk to the major, but Henry would not let go of the opportunity to feel proud, watching Henry He looked like he wished that every word would turn into a whip in the police station and slap the major on the face.

The major's face turned red and then pale, and the cloud was changing. In the end, he just said "very good" in a hurry, and left without looking back.

It's really nothing, not even a decent compliment!

The major never came back, and until night, no one greeted Rock and the others, but an Australian rifle battalion came to take over the position that the commando had just captured. Rock and the others felt at ease, and randomly found a piece of land next to the artillery position. Camp in the open.

The person in charge of the artillery unit was a captain. During the day, the performance of the commando on the battlefield was seen by the artillerymen. In the evening, the captain ordered someone to bring hot coffee and smoked sausage to Rock and the others, which made Henry very upset. I was so happy that I specially presented the captain with a bottle of red wine from Bordeaux, France.

In the battlefield, everything was kept simple, and dinner was settled by the campfire. As soon as Rock found a blanket and sat down by the campfire, he heard someone shouting: "Henry, Locke, where are you?"

It was Winston, this lingering guy. If it weren't for this guy's report, Henry and Rock would not have fallen into such a situation.

After hearing the voice, Rock and Henry looked at each other, and both of them looked a little unfriendly.

 Needless to say, words can no longer describe the diligence of the author——
