African Nationhood
Chapter 381 Battle of Pretoria
"Boom~~~"
Each grenade explosion will cause air waves, causing surrounding objects and human bodies to fly around.
Panic and fear became the main theme of the camp, and the officers were the first to react.
An officer shouted to the panicked soldiers, "The enemy is attacking, don't run around, lie down..."
Before he finished shouting, he stopped abruptly.
When the shelling occurred, the snipers in the South China Army had secretly sneaked near the British camp and pulled the trigger to take his life.
When a sniper is looking for an enemy officer, he needs to first look at the enemy's clothing. Generally, officers are more gorgeously dressed and speak with different aura.
If some officers don't have time to wear military uniforms, there will be no difference in the eyes of snipers.
When there is no special target, the sniper will find the target according to his own standards, that is, he will kill whoever is the most conspicuous on the battlefield.
Those machine gunners and flag bearers are the more conspicuous ones.
Generally speaking, snipers are the most special existence on the battlefield, and shooting one at a time feels very refreshing. Anyone who has played CF can experience this sense of accomplishment.
……
The explosions and screams in the distance were not far away. The British army, struggling for their lives in dire straits, and the Nanhua army, which was waiting in full array, seemed to be two different worlds. They were obviously separated by several thousand meters.
"Stop the bombardment, the infantry attack!"
A solemn order was issued, and Zhang Yang and his soldiers rushed out of the simple fortifications.
"Next, each artillery can choose independently. There is only one principle: don't let the enemy organize an effective counterattack, and don't hurt our own soldiers."
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the soldiers of the artillery brigade began to pack up the artillery crew and choose new artillery positions on their own.
Changing with the rhythm of the battle is the essence of light artillery like mortars.
……
The distance of 3000 meters does not seem far, but it is enough for the opponent's artillery to fire several rounds of shells.
In order to prevent unnecessary casualties caused by the enemy's heavy firepower or artillery, the attacking soldiers instantly completed the transformation of the "three-three system".
Zhang Yang and the two platoon deputies led different teams and formed different groups.
Two groups advance and one group rears. A platoon can instantly change into 12 groups, with each person separated by 6-8 steps. When fully deployed, it can cover an 800-meter-wide front.
A battalion of soldiers can completely create a sense of sight of thousands of troops. This is why the United States and South Korea slander our use of human sea tactics to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea.
The "three-three system" has various forms, but the general principle is that it must be "considered from beginning to end, and coordinated in an orderly manner", and at the same time, it must also be "quality over quantity, skill over crowd".
The British troops on the opposite side were already anxious when they saw the skirmisher line rushing over. With such a scattered formation, the firepower advantage of heavy machine guns or artillery was not obvious.
After all, the "three-three system" infantry assault tactics are infantry tactics specifically designed to deal with the intensive firepower of modern warfare.
Moreover, the firepower of the Nanhua Army was greater than that of the British army. They fired a Maxim heavy machine gun for a while, but it was not as high as the damage caused by a grenade by the Nanhua soldiers.
The 3000-meter charge can be completed in more than ten minutes, and then it’s time to harvest.
The assault infantry's submachine guns and grenades completely disintegrated the remaining British resistance.
The battle was over in less than half an hour.
Cleaning the battlefield is the highlight of the vanguard. The soldiers clean the tents one by one. Before entering, the soldiers who understand English are asked to shout "surrender without killing".
If there was no response, they would throw a grenade first and make sure there was no danger before entering.
The early cleanup by Zhang Yang's team went very smoothly. They cleared more than ten tents one after another and searched for dozens of frightened British troops.
When he reached a large tent, Zhang Yang shouted out of habit: "Come out and surrender without being killed!"
There was no response inside, so Zhang Yang took out a grenade and threw it inside. Then he heard a "boom", followed by a woman's sharp "Ah~~~" scream.
When Zhang Yang was confused, someone suddenly rushed out of the tent. The soldiers following him subconsciously raised their guns and shot, "Ta da~"
Three bullets knocked down two naked women. Fortunately, the woman who was not hit fell to the ground and cried "Wow!"
While crying, he waved his hands wildly, "Don't kill me, don't kill me~~"
Now everyone understood what was going on. Zhang Yang put the pistol back into his gun bag and then undressed.
When he put his clothes on the crying woman, she realized what she was doing and looked up at Zhang Yang.
"Are you from Nanhua Company?"
This Boer woman was probably in her twenties. In addition to dirt, there were a few bruises on her face. There were traces of blood on the corners of her mouth, and there was a wound on her forehead that was bleeding slowly.
Zhang Yang nodded, "Well, we are soldiers from Nanhua Company.
I just called for surrender, why didn't you say anything? "
The woman said "Wow" and cried again.
"We were intimidated by the British battalion commander and he wouldn't let us speak out."
"How many people are still inside?"
"No, no more, they are all dead."
Zhang Yang winked at the two soldiers, who ran into the tent with guns in hand.
After a while they came out, "Platoon leader, the officer is dead, but the woman next to him is still alive."
Zhang Yang nodded, helped the woman up, and shouted to the health worker not far away: "Health worker Lin, come here."
Not long after, a girl with a red cross armband ran over, took the woman from Zhang Yang, and then helped her to a tent not far away.
As for the injured women and soldiers who were still alive, they were gathered together, and field doctors would rescue them.
Because doctors and medicines are limited, South Chinese soldiers will be given priority for treatment and medication, while other ethnic groups have to rely on their lives.
……
The battlefield was cleaned, and the 2nd Regiment received a large amount of British equipment and supplies from this battle.
Moreover, more than 400 prisoners were gathered, and nearly 600 British soldiers were killed in this battle.
The Nanhua Army suffered only 36 casualties, most of which were only minor injuries, and 11 were killed.
There were also several Boer women who were found in the tents of British officers.
Without exception, these British officers came from the colonial servant army. The real British officers also upheld the fine aristocratic tradition, which is worthy of praise.
……
After the cleaning was completed, the commander of the 2nd Regiment ordered the soldiers of the st Battalion to eat while the nd and rd Battalions set up defense lines.
When the British army finds that their forward stronghold has been breached, they will definitely attack, and it will be another fierce battle.
The soldiers of the second battalion began to lay minefields northwest of the stronghold. The mines had not been actually laid since they were transported.
Therefore, in addition to being careful, everyone must also record the location of the minefields one by one to facilitate their extraction or detonation after the war, without leaving any hidden dangers.
The soldiers of the third battalion took engineering shovels and began to dig trenches. These trenches can effectively reduce the damage caused by enemy artillery, and at the same time, they can better fight a protracted battle with the enemy.
……
The soldiers of the first battalion had finished their breakfast, and the rising sun began to shine on the earth.
The soldiers of the second and third battalions returned one after another according to the organizational structure, and they lined up to eat.
Zhang Yang stood on the trench, made a shooting gesture to the enemy who had not yet arrived in the void, and then burst out laughing... (End of Chapter)
