The tip of the authentic DUM bullet is not covered and the lead core is exposed. After the bullet is injected into the human body, the lead core expands or ruptures, thereby expanding the wound surface and causing serious injury to personnel. It was directly hit by the DUM bullet at a distance of 100 meters.
, a person who is shot in the head will be 100% dead, a shot in the limbs will be 20% dead, and all the remaining limbs will be amputated, a shot in the left chest near the heart will be 100% dead, and a shot in the right chest and abdomen will be 70% dead.
The simple version of the dummy bullet is easy to make. Just use a file and slightly change the shape of the bullet to increase the lethality.
Rock still doesn't know whether the British army used dum bullets. At least the Cape Town Police Department has not used such bullets before. However, when the Boers began to use dum bullets, Rock did not believe that the British
People can bear not to use it, after all, the earliest dum bombs were made by the British.
The train gradually left the unknown hillside, and Rock felt heavy. The four police officers who died had just arrived in Cape Town, and Rock had not even had time to remember their names.
Although Rock wanted to bring the fallen Chinese policemen back to Cape Town for burial, there was no such condition. Next, Rock and the others had to continue to Dordrecht, so they could only bury the four fallen Chinese policemen there.
On an unknown hillside, Rock secretly took note of the nearby reference points, hoping that there would be another opportunity in the future to move the bones of the four Chinese policemen back to Cape Town for burial.
"Don't worry Locke, I will apply for the highest standard of pension for them. The injured policemen don't have to worry. They can continue to work after they recover. Even if they can't work, the government will not let it go." Henry is still a very good person.
Yes, the British government these days is indeed very generous.
"Thank you, Henry." Rock knew that Henry had done what he could.
From the perspective of the families of the four dead Chinese policemen, money can certainly not compensate for their pain, but it is good to have pensions. The average life expectancy these days is only over 30 years old, and the value of life is not very precious.
If this were replaced by a Qing army killed in battle, it is hard to say whether there would be any pension.
The eleven prisoners were placed in different parts of the train. Thanks to the open-top carriage design, the prisoners were tied to crosses and placed directly in the carriage, so they could be seen from a distance.
The Boers were not as ruthless as Rock imagined. Everything went smoothly and the train arrived in Dordrecht smoothly.
Dordrecht is a small town that is already located in the Orange Free State and is only 50 kilometers away from the besieged Ladysmith. The eastern offensive designed by Lord Roberts started here.
Rock originally thought that as long as the supplies were sent to Dordrecht, the commando team could return directly. However, after the commando team arrived in Dordrecht, another accident occurred.
"Captain Henry? Bring your men and follow me." An officer wearing the rank of major motioned to the commandos to follow him.
"Mr. Major, we are on a mission." Henry was not stupid and was unwilling to go with the major. God knows where he would be taken.
"Captain Henry, your last mission has been completed, and now you have a new mission." The major said expressionlessly.
"Mr. Major, we haven't completed the mission yet. This is only part of our mission. We have to go back to Cape Town to continue escorting supplies." Henry already felt that something was wrong. No matter what the new mission was, Henry was unwilling to accept it.
"I said, the task of escorting the supplies has been completed, and now you have to accept a new task." The major's expression was serious, and his eyes towards Henry became increasingly cold.
Henry was helpless, his arm could not twist his thigh. On the territory of the expeditionary force headquarters, the commando had no choice.
Let's go then. The commandos were packing their gear on the simple platform. More than 40 horses captured in the previous battle were also pulled out from the carriage. Looking at these horses, the major had new requirements.
"Give these war horses to the soldiers over there. You won't need the war horses next." The major finally had a smile on his face. The expeditionary force lacked war horses, but the police force of more than 100 people was equipped with 60 or 70 war horses.
This is really too luxurious.
"Mr. Major, these horses were captured by us in previous battles." Henry argued with reason. There is no saying that all captured horses by the British army should be returned to the public. What's more, the commandos are police and are completely different systems from the military.
"Fight, what kind of battle?" the major said impatiently, looking at the commandos with undisguised contempt.
"We were attacked by Boer guerrillas on the way to Dordrecht. We killed 35 Boer guerrillas and captured the remaining 11, the guys on the cross. We captured these horses.
"." Henry was full of pride, even in the military, this could be considered a great victory.
It was indeed a great victory. In the Battle of Ladysmith a few months ago, the British army suffered 1,139 killed and 250 missing, while the Boer army only suffered 8 killed and 30 wounded.
In the earlier First Boer War, the British army suffered 170 casualties, 280 wounded, and 54 prisoners, while the Boers had only 3 killed and 9 wounded.
From the first Boer War to the present, the British have never taken advantage of the Boers. The commandos killed 35 Boers and captured 11 in one battle. It was indeed a rare victory.
"Killed 35, captured 11, and captured dozens of horses? Are you crazy or am I blind?" The major didn't believe it at all.
"I'm not crazy. As for Mr. Major, I don't know whether you are blind or not, but if you want to know the facts, all you have to do is interrogate those prisoners." Henry also has a temper, not to mention that he has credit in hand and is really responsible for colonial affairs.
Is the director of the department just a decoration?
By the way, Mr. Si is still a baron. Although his title is a little lower, he is still a noble.
"As you wish, Captain Henry, of course I will have people interrogate them. As for those horses, they are now requisitioned by the expeditionary force headquarters. I can issue you a receipt. When you return to Cape Town, you can go
Ask your governor for it." The major was not angry, probably because he had learned about Henry's background, and his pretentiousness made people angry.
"Thank you, I will." Henry said seriously. As long as he had a receipt from the expeditionary force headquarters, Henry would really dare to go to Governor Alfred Milner to ask for a horse. Even though Alfred Milner was the Governor, but Alfred
Fred Milner doesn't even have a title now, so Henry is really not that afraid of Alfred Milner.
Don't be afraid of going home. When you are under the eaves, you should bow your head when you should. They handed the receipt to Phyllis and put it away. Henry and Roque organized the team and followed the major to walk out of the town. Before they left the town, Roque
Then he heard the rumble of cannon in the distance.
