In fact, the word "Hua Yong" is not very popular. It sounds similar to the Homecoming Regiment, and it also means a bit of guerrillas.
In fact, this is not the case. In order to form the Huayong Camp, the British allocate up to 30,000 pounds in military expenses every year. The Huayongs enjoy the first-class salary and benefits in the Far East. There is no need to doubt their ability. As far as Roque knows about the Huayong Camp, even according to the British
By the standards of the local army, the shooting performance of the Huayongs can generally be regarded as excellent.
What I want to explain here is that the British Army has always emphasized archery skills. During the Korean War, the Volunteer Army knew that "if they are not afraid of American cannons, they are afraid of British guns." It can be seen that the British army's archery skills are good.
The British troops who emphasized their shooting skills were beaten to shame by the Boers on the front line. This was not because the British troops' shooting skills were not good, but because their tactics were not good. "Linear tactics" were queuing to kill tactics, which emphasized discipline.
and courage. During the battle, the troops were not allowed to fire unless they advanced close enough to the enemy. The Boers were good at small-scale guerrilla warfare and did not fight the British head-on. The British lobster soldiers had not yet approached the Boers.
The guerrilla front and the Boer guerrillas had already dispersed and broken into pieces. The British troops didn't even get a chance to fire. How could they win?
This can also explain why when the British troops fought against the Boers in the past, they were often fought in one battle. The British troops suffered hundreds or even thousands of casualties, while the Boers suffered single-digit casualties.
It's not that our army doesn't work hard, but the enemy's army is too cunning.
To put it bluntly, the Boer guerrillas fighting against the British regular army were like hunters hunting silly roe deer. They were accurate every time they hit them. But when the Boer guerrillas encountered Rock
Okay, Rock didn't graduate from a military academy, but Rock really likes mixed iron blood and Chao Da. A casual comment on these two forums shows that he is better at guerrilla warfare than the Boers in the 19th century.
"Anton, from now on, forget everything the British officers in Huayong Camp taught you. We are not a regular army now, we are the police, so we cannot use the tactics of the regular army." Roque found the perfect reason to convince Anton, although this
The reason is a bit lame, but that's how you have to deal with an honest person like Anton.
To be honest, sometimes when Rock was communicating with Anton, he really wanted to yell: There is an honest man here, everyone, come and bully him!
"Hey, you won't even let us use tactics after leaving Huayong Camp?" Anton is really that simple. Anton will believe whatever Roque says.
Believe it or not, Anton's English is not yet good enough to communicate with the British. In the entire Huayong camp, only Roque has the closest relationship with the British and can speak in front of Henry, so on a certain day
To a certain extent, Rock's words mean what the British mean.
"We are not allowed to wear clothes yet. No, even if we have to go to the front line, we must wear police uniforms." Roque is quite satisfied with this. The uniforms issued by the Cape Town Police Department in the summer are khaki.
Although it wasn't very good-looking, when compared with those fiery red lobster soldiers, Rock immediately felt more at ease.
Whether in the forest or on the grassland, red is the most conspicuous color. In terms of camouflage effect, it is definitely not as good as khaki. Don’t underestimate this little camouflage effect. If it really doesn’t matter, the British won’t do it later.
Throw away those clothes.
"What should we do?" Anton was at a loss. In the Huayong Camp, the Huayongs also received queuing and shooting training. Now that they have lost the familiar tactics, Anton is very uncomfortable and can't think of how to deal with those damn Boer guerrillas.
.
"It's better not to use it. Come on, let's do an experiment." Rock wanted to use facts to prove that the generals in the expeditionary force headquarters are all idiots.
With two teams of commandos of the same number and the same equipment conditions, Rock arranged for a team of people to form an offensive formation according to the tradition of Huayong Camp using linear tactics.
The other team used the flower beds, trees, house corners, windows and other bunkers next to the training ground to set up defensive positions.
As soon as Rock blew the whistle to signify the start of the exercise, Anton and all the commandos were dumbfounded.
"How are we going to fight this?" Anton's eyes were as wide as a bell. The commandos looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.
Yes, there is no way to fight. Not to mention how good the shooting skills of the defensive commandos are. The two Maxim heavy machine guns set up by Rock in the defensive position can kill all the attacking team members in a short time.
Destroy them all.
Rock, a shady guy, also placed Maxim heavy machine guns at both ends of the defensive position. This seriously violated the tactical regulations prescribed by the officers at the time, and did not focus on the use of heavy firepower. However, Anton tried several angles and found that
It was impossible for him to break through the blockade of two Maxim heavy machine guns. If he dodged one, he would definitely be within the shooting range of the other. When Anton discovered this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Are the British people wrong?!
This discovery shocked Anton even more than knowing that Roque was naturalized in Cape Town.
"Are you stupid? Come on, grandpas are waiting for you!"
"I have already given the order, why don't you attack? If you disobey the order, you will be beheaded."
"Come on, let me give you ten meters first. If I shoot first, I will be your son."
The defensive commandos didn't know how intense Anton's psychological struggle was, and they began to provoke the hesitant attackers.
"Your sister, come out if you dare!"
"How do you attack? This is a way to get yourself killed."
"Grandpas decided to scold you to death right here."
The attacking team members were not stupid either. Even though no one had any bullets in their guns, if they charged forward, it would be obvious that they would die.
"Come on, come on, switch between the offensive and defensive sides, and let everyone feel the feeling of facing cross fire." Rock arranged the rotation so that everyone can face this cross fire, so that they can understand what the British officers did wrong before.
How outrageous.
The offense and defense are in different positions. The defensive players who were enjoying the provocation just now were immediately dumbfounded. The original offensive players who were staying comfortably behind the bunker were in a great mood. Come on, come on. Who just laughed at me for being a coward? Now you give me
I'm brave and let me see.
The offensive players were not stupid, they also decided to beat the opponent to death, so the training ground was very lively.
"Locke, is this crossfire?" Anton indeed has potential and has realized the role of crossfire.
While the training ground was extremely joyful, in the police chief's office that Rock and Anton didn't notice, August Russell stood at the window and saw everything that happened on the training ground. If anyone could pay attention
When you arrive, you will find that August Russell's expression is very complicated.
