Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 76 Joubert

In the era when there were no grenades and submachine guns, it was as difficult to attack a village with a large number of people defending it.

This is why Rock asked Henry to take people to the other side to set up machine gun positions. Compared with storming, driving the enemies from the house to the wilderness is more conducive to destroying them.

Since it was a strong attack, he no longer concealed it. Li De ignited the prepared explosives and threw the explosives to the door of a house on the outermost edge of the town.

After a brief silence—

boom--

The power of the explosive package was astonishing, and the momentum was earth-shattering. Sand and rocks flew in the yard, and half of the house was blown down. Before the dust and smoke dissipated, someone rushed out from the back door of the house.

Bah bah bah——

The commandos ambushed outside the back door had been prepared for a long time, and a volley of guns passed by, and the guerrillas who escaped from the house were knocked down one after another.

"Replenish the gun, pay attention to refill the gun, Reed, one more." Rock didn't plan to capture prisoners, and now he wanted to use the most violent offensive to crush all resistance, which would speed up the defeat of the Boers.

Li De was very obedient, lit a new explosive bag, and threw it into the half-collapsed house with his hands.

boom--

This time the power is even more astonishing.

In a narrow space, it is more conducive to the power of the explosive package. After two consecutive explosions, the whole house was razed to the ground. Rock didn't care whether there were civilians in the house, even if there were civilians. When they took in the Boer guerrillas, they He also committed a capital crime. Sir Kitchener, the chief of staff of the expeditionary force, stipulated that as long as Boer farmers were found to be helping the guerrillas, all farms and houses within 10 miles of the surrounding area would be burned.

In other words, as long as this town takes in a guerrilla, the whole town will be burned down.

Obviously, Rock's approach was right. The guerrilla members in the first house on the outermost perimeter had just been wiped out, and the whole town was already in commotion.

It needs to be explained that the homes of the Boers do not have courtyards. At most, there is a fence around the lawn, so the whole town can clearly see how Rock and the others destroyed the first house.

In the face of explosives, human beings have no ability to resist, so Rock and the others have just entered the ruins of the first house, preparing to rely on these ruins and continue to attack the town. The other guerrillas in the town have already collapsed. Many of them The man didn't even put on his clothes, so he ran away in such a disheveled way.

Flee to the machine gun position commanded by Henry.

"Attack, attack, Dunn, fire suppression, fire suppression!" Rock made as much noise as possible, and Tang En's heavy machine gun was on the main road in the center of the town. As soon as Rock's voice fell, Tang En's heavy machine gun started roar.

It is probably impossible to understand the power of heavy machine guns without facing the heavy machine guns.

Let's put it this way, if it is a house with a wooden structure, then an 11.43 mm caliber heavy machine gun bullet can easily penetrate the entire house, and the fate of the people in the house can be imagined.

So when Tang En's heavy machine gun fired, the guerrillas in the town completely collapsed. No one wanted to fight the heavy machine gun head-on. Even the most crazy people didn't want to use their bodies to verify the power of the heavy machine gun.

By the way, Rock and the others had obtained enough dum bullets from Winston before they set off. The warheads of these bullets will roll irregularly after hitting the human body, causing explosive trauma. The hit to enemy morale is devastating.

"Hold on, hold on, don't chase, don't chase, Reed, use dynamite to blow up all the way, don't let any house go." Rock's main task is to drive people out of town, and it's Henry's task to eliminate them Therefore, Roque wanted to reduce casualties as much as possible, because Roque was not sure whether there were any guerrillas left in the town, although most of the guerrillas had escaped.

Soon, more gunshots rang out from the other end of the town, and Roque felt confident that the benefits of this battle were indispensable. At least 200 guerrillas escaped just now, and it was all money.

The battle lasted only half an hour. The explosive packs prepared by Li De had not been used up, and the battle was over. There were about 260 members of the Boer coalition forces, and more than 100 were killed. The rest surrendered, including the civilians in the town. , the commandos captured more than 200 people.

"Lock, let's send it this time, do you know who we killed?" Henry rode a quarter horse, galloped to Rock and laughed.

"Who?" Rock was absent-minded.

Rock is playing with a flintlock gun from the era of great navigation. I don't know where Li De found it. I don't know if this thing can still be fired. Take it back to Cape Town as a home decoration.

"It's Joubert, those prisoners confessed that just now, Joubert was killed by us." Henry was laughing wildly.

"Who is Joubert—" Roque was overwhelmed by ecstasy as soon as he spoke.

Joubert is the commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition army, and Rock has heard Joubert's name from Winston before.

"You don't know who Joubert is? Joubert is the commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition forces, the No. [-] target of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and his head is worth [-] pounds!" Henry's saddle is tied with a bulging bag, look at the shape, Rock Suddenly there was a bad feeling.

The British were still generous. After Winston escaped, the Boer Allied Forces only offered a reward of 25 pounds. The British Expeditionary Force offered [-] pounds to Joubert. What a world of difference.

"Are you sure? Are you sure it's Joubert?" Rock asked. If it's true, then this is really big news, and Winston might be overjoyed.

Not only Winston, but if Joubert is really killed, the entire Cape Colony will fall into a carnival. In addition to receiving rewards, Henry may even be knighted, and Rock's glass ceiling will no longer exist.

The so-called "glass ceiling", in fact, should be seen by the benevolent and the wise. For ordinary people, the glass ceiling may really exist, but for those outstanding people, the glass ceiling is not so absolute.

"Very, very, very sure. I have already got Joubert's belongings. Joubert's body was torn apart by bullets and is now being mended. As the commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition forces, Joubert deserves the due courtesy. Now I just want to go back. Go to Dordrecht and show that damned major that what our police can do, he will never be able to do." Henry is narrow-minded, and he still hasn't forgotten revenge.

Fortunately, Rock thought that the bag next to Henry's saddle contained Joubert's head, but luckily it wasn't.

It's impossible to think about it, Phyllis is by Henry's side, even if Henry wants to cut off Joubert's head, Phyllis will not let him do that.

　Since it's cheap, then it's cheap to the end——
