African Nationhood

The situation in the South African battlefield was very unfavorable. At the request of the London Cabinet, the British Army Command had reached a consensus with the Royal Navy.

They would join forces, and in addition to continuing to drop soldiers into Southwest Africa, the Royal Navy would also assist the British Army in launching attacks on the South China Company's overseas territories.

The London cabinet has reached a consensus that the British Empire will deal a severe blow to the rebels.

Let other colonies take a warning. The South China Company will not become the second United States. They will be turned into powder under the powerful attack of the British Empire.

Today, the War Department has recruited and trained 5 new recruits locally, including Irish soldiers.

The British promised the Irish that they could own land and properties in the colonies if they helped the British defeat the rebels.

Such a promise was good news for the impoverished Irish, but it did not lessen the Irish's hatred of the British.

Therefore, these Irish soldiers were a time bomb to the British, who did not know when they would explode.

The British are simply playing with fire, but they can no longer care.

……

Among the 5 newly recruited recruits, 2 recruits will be deployed along the coast of Southwest Africa, another 2 recruits will be deployed on the Cape Town battlefield, and the remaining 1 will follow naval ships to attack the overseas territories of Nanhua Company.

In addition, the British War Department recruited a large number of servant troops from various colonies and India and continued to deploy them on the South African battlefield.

……

Walvis Bay Port in March should have been a prosperous time for business and trade, but the prosperity of the past is like a phantom, and the prosperous fishing port has become a ghost town.

There are still remnants of paper and rags left behind by the hasty retreat on the streets, fluttering in the wind.

"Woo~~~"

The British warship HMS Worage slowly approached the port. After docking, more than a thousand British Army soldiers on board disembarked. They were new recruits from the UK.

Because the Chinese Legion voluntarily gave up the defense of the outer sea, the British Army troops landed at Walvis Bay Port with great ease.

……

As an armed force to punish the Nanhua Company's betrayal, the recruits recruited in Britain were all sent to Southwest Africa as soon as they were trained.

Along with the arrival of this batch of new soldiers, there are also military observation groups from various countries.

During the battle between the Boers and the British, observation groups from various countries had extracted some effective information from the battlefield.

They admired the guerrilla warfare of the Boers who came and went like the wind.

In addition, the observation groups also highly praised the Boers' concept of "all people as soldiers". This concept slowly spread to the world through the mouths of observation groups from various countries.

Switzerland, a small European country, and later South Africa and Israel all regard this defense concept as a national policy.

Now that the Nanhua Company has jumped out to oppose the British, all countries are eager to see how the Chinese Legion will deal with the British Army.

……

Looking at the sunset on the dimly lit street buildings, Duchamp Le Goff, a French member of the observation group, couldn't help but sigh:

“I have been here before, and the scenery here and the hardworking and wealthy Chinese people are impressive.

Now this place has become an empty city. I really don’t know what those Chinese people think. "

The German officer next to him smiled and said, "These Chinese should have secret weapons. I heard from people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that representatives of the Chinese company have negotiated a deal with His Majesty the Emperor of our country.

When the war becomes clear, our country should intervene in this war. "

Hearing what the German said, the French also became interested, "What else did you find out?"

The German military leader shrugged and shook his head, "It's a matter of confidentiality. How can I know too much?"

The French officer nodded, and then he was thinking about whether to report the news he heard to the Ministry of War and let the big shots above negotiate with the Chinese representatives as soon as possible.

……

As the sun was about to set, the Irish among the British soldiers became noisy and asked the officers why no food had been delivered.

Neither did the officers, who were told to wait at the port for notification.

After waiting for a long time, these British soldiers received their dinner, a portion of 200 grams of dry and hard corned beef, 300 grams of white bread and a little hot sauce. This was their dinner.

The soldiers carefully cut the corned beef with knives and chewed dry bread in their mouths. The hot sauce helped them remember that they were eating bread and not rags. After the soldiers had finished their dinner, they were asked to board the train and proceed to the next location.

By the time the soldiers boarded the train, the soldiers had become familiar with each other all day long, and they began to talk loudly.

This one boasts about how he will torture Chinese people after catching them, and the other one talks about how he will play with Chinese women after seeing them...

Three hours later, almost all the British soldiers fell asleep.

"Boom~~~"

A violent explosion suddenly sounded, followed by the extreme rolling of the carriage as it derailed and rushed off the railway track.

The British soldiers in the carriage howled in terror, and those who were unlucky died or fainted.

The carriage stopped after the inertia force was released. The British soldiers who survived and were still able to move found ways to get out of the carriage.

The torches were lit, and the surviving British soldiers gathered together again at the officer's call.

At the command of the password, they began to stand in an orderly queue.

Suddenly, there was a strange whistling wind sound in their ears. Before they could react, they were overturned by the strong explosion air wave, and a series of explosions could be heard incessantly.

……

Listening to the constant screams of pain from the attacked British troops and the fire caused by the explosion of grenades, the soldiers of the Namib Garrison Division felt a little happy in their hearts.

Although they had never really experienced the bullying of the British, it was really enjoyable to watch the arrogant and arrogant British howling miserably in front of them not far away.

"Platoon leader, do you want us to go over and get some last-minute hits?"

Xiao Chunlong, a little warrior with a round head and a round face, asked in a low voice.

"No, according to the order, we must retreat quickly and not give the British devils a chance.

We must fight guerrilla warfare and a war of attrition to chip away at the effective strength of these invaders, making them fearful and incapable of grasping them.

Our mission has been completed. If we fight another round, pack up our equipment and retreat! "

……

The British army, which had finally waited until dawn, finally arrived with reinforcements.

Wounded soldiers must be treated, and the bodies of dead soldiers must be collected.

The railway was blown up, and there was no way to take the train but to walk, so these British soldiers walked forward along the railway tracks.

Hurrying slowly, they finally walked 20 miles before sunset, and a small train station appeared in front of them.

The British army leader immediately reminded the soldiers to pay attention and not to be careless.

These British troops only paid attention to guard against possible enemies in front, but forgot to guard their feet.

"boom!"

The Songfa mine directly exploded the soldier who stepped on it into a bloody gourd, and several soldiers around the bombed soldier were also affected.

Fortunately, these soldiers were not killed on the spot. They were only hit by shrapnel, but they would not be able to fight in the short term.

One of the soldiers was particularly unlucky. His descendants were mangled by shrapnel.

The incident happened suddenly. The British soldiers who were not attacked looked at their wailing and rolling comrades in bewilderment. They had no idea why the attack came from under their feet.

When the soldiers at the back wanted to ask what happened, there was a sudden explosion on their side, and then a terrifying surge of fragments and steel balls came.

"Ah~~~~~~~"

A large number of British soldiers were pushed down by the shock wave, and they began to howl violently the moment they fell to the ground.

Because of the pain, they rolled around helplessly.

Because of the pain, they howled and prayed in their hearts to their Lord to rescue them or to show mercy and let them die directly.

It's just that these moans are not the end, but the beginning of their tragic experience... (End of this chapter)
