Australian Storm 1876

   Chapter 794

Although they were rushed around by the British, I honestly said that the supply of the Boer guerrillas is good. This guerrilla has thousands of horse mules and animals. In addition to carrying ammunition and food, there are even Australian milk candies and candies. The chocolate supply is not bad.

  Under the tight seal of the British guy, why does this happen?

  It's nothing more than money that moves people's hearts.

  On the long border between Mozambique and South Africa, there are hills that can be easily traversed everywhere. The Boers have hard currencies like gold, and border smugglers are driven by huge profits.

  Boers were originally white grazing predominantly white people, and naturally there is no shortage of mules and horses.

One year after the outbreak of the Boer War, more than half of the Boers were thrown into concentration camps, and more than 20,000 people insisted on guerrilla fighting. Although there are not many ranchers left, they can still support the cavalry-based guerrillas. Team fighting.

  From one aspect, it can be reflected that the Boers are indeed very rich.

   Approaching five o'clock in the evening

  The galloping Boer sentry shouted loudly all the way; "Alert, the cavalry of the Eastern Brigade is coming, ready to fight."

The stern shouts of the sentinel cavalry echoed in the mountains and forests, and the Bol guerrillas immediately took action, took up the water basin to put out the stove, packed up, quickly loaded the supplies on the horses, checked the weapons and firearms to prepare for battle, everything seemed orderly.

  This guerrilla team composed of Utrecht mountain hunters and Pretonian police has rich combat experience, accurate marksmanship and high psychological quality. It is a difficult opponent for any enemy.

  In the distance of the forest

  A cavalry squad of about 1,700 people is advancing cautiously. The leader is the mountain wind wearing the rank of lieutenant colonel in the British army. He looked at the surrounding environment with a cold expression and pointed left and right with his hand.

Immediately there were two cavalry companies separated from the left and right, and they went sideways and forwards. Their speed was not fast. There were more than a dozen explorers in the front of the team. All the explorers lay low on their horses to prepare for battle. The rear brigade cavalry Far away, each team has a size of nearly 200 people.

  Like three sharp arrows, pointing straight to the dangerous mountain forest ahead.

  In the depths of the mountains and forests

   "Damn it, help them up."

   "Hurry up, bastard, if you don't want to leave, just stay in this forest and slowly rot."

  The heavily armed Boer guerrillas urged them cursively, pointed at Li Jianyang and the others with their black-hole muzzles, and asked them to lift the prisoners with their hands tied to the horse, preparing to evacuate the camp.

  Each captive was personally **** by the Boers. All Li Jianyang, Churchill and others had to do was to support them one by one on their horses.

In the evening, the mountains and forests were dimly lit. In a messy environment, Churchill suddenly discovered that Li Jianyang was taking advantage of the Boer guerrillas not paying attention, untying the hemp ropes of several prisoners, and then tucking the ropes in their hands. inside.

  He was shocked, and the cold sweat on his back suddenly came out, secretly crying in his heart;

  The Dongfang boy surnamed Li is too courageous. If he is discovered by the Boers, everyone will be ruined.

   helpless

  Churchill can only bite the bullet and help Li Jianyang to cover, use his body to block the guard's line of sight, and try to delay him for a while.

Abruptly, Li Jianyang put a pistol into a certain prisoner's shirt under the cover of his body, and then the two of them helped him to sit down immediately and continued to the next prisoner.

  His action made Churchill's eyelids jump straight. At the same time, he looked around alertly, and he was sensitively aware of the opportunity to escape.

  After numerous emergency transfers, Churchill is already familiar with the Boer's routines.

  Most of the Boer guerrillas immediately attacked after hearing the warning. With the help of mountains and forests, they occupied the dominant terrain and prepared to block the enemy.

  At this time, if the chaser rushes deep, they will be greeted by hot bullets. In the case of waiting for work, the Boer’s precise marksmanship can be fully utilized and transformed into a death harvester.

  Another part of the Boolean cavalry was ready to go. After the enemy was hit with head and face, they immediately swept their troops to cover up and harvest a wave of heads again.

  These Boolean cavalry will not chase far away, and will quickly retreat after they succeed. It is really fast and windy, and they will retreat with one blow, leaving no time for the opponent to fight.

  At this time, the Boer who was in charge of sniping had already put on his weapon, mounted his horse to retreat, and waited for the enemy to give his head at the next sniper spot.

  When the Boer cavalry who was in charge of the pursuit passed by like a violent wind, the mountains and forests returned to silence, waiting for the enemy is the ubiquitous lethal murder, and the cycle repeated, as long as two or three rounds can beat the chasers to the scorching, they dare not continue chasing.

  The British cavalry suffered heavy losses repeatedly under this tactic.

  The sniper point is the favorable terrain selected after setting up the camp. This set of tactics of the Boer guerrillas is very skillful and efficient.

   The remaining small part of the Boer guerrillas were responsible for escorting the captives, driving the mules and horses that carried the supplies, and quickly retreated, venturing far and wide for dozens of hundreds of kilometers.

  The Humen cavalry who were pursuing were obviously familiar with this style of play. They were divided into three groups and approached cautiously.

  The probe at the forefront was armed to the teeth. Some people wore medieval iron helmets on their heads. Some people simply wore an iron pot with a homemade iron plate tied to their chests and proceeded cautiously on horseback.

  Once it was attacked, it immediately exploded and spread out like a nest, and it didn't hurt many people at all.

  This is where the Boer guerrillas are very troublesome. The tricks that have been tried and tested on the British cavalry are not easy to use on these cunning Humen mercenaries, but they are repeatedly restrained.

  The British cavalry has a glorious tradition and is full of arrogance.

  I would rather die than wear these old iron helmets or even iron pots on your head, let alone tie an iron plate on your chest, that would be more sad than killing them.

  These Humen mercenaries have no such worries. Everything is premised on surviving from the battlefield, and everything else is floating clouds.

   "Papa......"

  The clear gunfire suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the mountains and forests.

  Almost as soon as the gunfire sounded, a dozen Humen detectives in the front shrank to the side of the horse's belly. Except for a few horses that were shot down, the others fled in all directions.

  These detective riders quickly got off their horses, and crawled into the bushes or behind the rocks. Although their postures were inelegant, they were very useful, and they were too slippery.

  After ensuring their own safety, they immediately fired back shots, "cracking, croaking," and the bullets roared.

The rear cavalry force immediately unloaded two 60mm field guns and established a temporary artillery position, aiming at the Boer firepower spot hidden on the top of the hill as a greeting, and then the next group of offensive soldiers dismounted one after another, taking advantage of the mountain forests on both sides. The concealment is approaching step by step.

  No one dared to show up easily in this kind of battle. The marksmanship of both sides was extremely accurate. As long as they approached a distance of two to three hundred meters, it was almost one shot.

   Therefore, under the cover of heavy machine guns and artillery, the mercenaries attacked very cautiously.

  The Boers are also very difficult to sniper. Under the threat of enemy artillery fire, they must constantly shift the firepower point, let alone the cavalry counterattack. If you dare to show your head, you will die.

  The battle begins

  The rear Boer troops in the dense forest also began to transfer. More than 180 Boer guerrillas escorted more than 400 mules and horses, and more than 120 prisoners retreated. Due to the narrow roads in the mountains and forests, they formed a long team.

  Li Jianyang followed the Boer cavalry team behind. Next to him was the young and handsome Churchill. Both of them sat on the horses with their hands tied back, and followed the team slowly.

  At this moment, the hemp rope tied to his hand has been cut by a sharp knife, and his hands are still behind his back pretending to be trapped. He glanced at Churchill, and saw that he used his eyes to sign it, and then passed the sharp knife back.

  It’s almost 5:30

  The light in the mountains and forests was very dim, and only people could be seen indistinctly. Li Jianyang's eyes showed a terrifying light like a wolf.

   Endured for a long time, he was about to kill.

  He is like a cheetah lurking on standby, quietly waiting for the chance to break out.

The retreat speed in the mountains and forests is not fast, that is, it is faster than normal walking speed, about 6-7 kilometers per hour, except for the anxious urging of the Boer cavalry, which is the big green mule's neighing from time to time, adding out of thin air A tense atmosphere.

  Soon, Li Jianyang heard the long-awaited signal.

  It was a few birdsong, indicating that the front has been successful and has not been noticed by the Boers for the time being.

  During the 20-odd days of displacement, Li Jianyang took advantage of the chaos of the battle and hid a pistol, two bayonets, and a sharp knife used by the Boers to eat lamb, all of which were touched from the body.

Both pistols and bayonet were given to the brothers who walked in front. Naturally, they walked towards the brothers with the most accurate marksmanship. One shot was not wasted. The bayonet was given to the two brothers with the best skills to solve the scattered Boers around. Cavalry is not a problem.

  At this moment, the group of captives may have already begun to untie each other, descending from the horses and sneaking into the jungle on both sides, so they need time.

  Li Jianyang’s attention was highly concentrated at this moment. He looked at a huge rock in front of him. The retreating team was turning around the mountain here, and he immediately understood;

  The two brothers with good skills in front of them broke out here, solved the Boers who were guarding them and seized equipment.

His guess is good. Not long ago, he could see two corpses lying down on the side of the road. Their weapons and equipment were stripped away. There seemed to be another one ahead. The blackness was not very real, and the faint smell of blood permeated. In the mountains and forests.

  Churchill also noticed this, his eyes suddenly showed horror, and his heart cried secretly;

  The captive riot was discovered, and everyone had to die.

  Except for the liberation of his hands, he now has no weapons on his body. He can only pray for the Dongfang boy named Li to be more reliable.

  Behind them ten meters, the Boer **** cavalry of the brigade, the total number of which is about a hundred people, escorted the logistic force behind them, one after the other, the prisoners were caught in the middle.

  The extreme sense of crisis made his pores spread, and his body trembled involuntarily; the **** Oriental didn't say hello before the action.
