On a rainy night, two people hid under a big tree outside the town and smoked. There was only one explanation. These two people were sentinels. There was someone important in the town who deserved their protection. The heavy rain distracted their attention. On such a night,
They didn't think there would be an expeditionary force coming, so they relaxed their vigilance.
The first time he spotted the sentry, Rock signaled the entire team to stop.
"What's wrong?" Henry, who was struggling in the mud, came to Roark crookedly like a tumbler.
"There are sentries under the big tree ahead." Rock thought hard. To kill the sentries without attracting other people's attention would require certain skills. Rock asked himself that he couldn't do it.
"Maybe he's one of ours." Henry was still lucky.
"Don't be stupid. If it were our people, the sentry would have gone long ago in such heavy rain." Roark is not polite. In fact, the performance of the British Expeditionary Force in the Boer War was not as good as that of the Boer Allied Forces.
"Then what are you waiting for? Kill them!" Henry was filled with murderous intent. In Henry's eyes, all the Boers were just flying checks.
"You're crazy." Rock suppressed the muzzle of Henry's raised gun and gestured to the town with his chin: "With such heavy rain and dedicated sentries, there must be big fish in the town. You and Anton will lead people around.
, set up a machine gun position on the other side of the town, I'll attack from here and see how much profit we can make this time."
Not only Henry was a money fan, but Roark was too, and no one could have trouble with the British pound.
"Good idea, wait for my signal." Henry agreed with Rock's plan.
This is also the safest way. If there are really big shots in the town, then as soon as the battle starts, the first reaction of the big shots in the town will be to run away immediately instead of organizing a counterattack on the spot, because no one knows how many people there will be on a rainy night.
The expeditionary force is coming, so escaping is the first option. When the time comes, Henry and the others will just have to wait and see.
"How can you give me a signal and shoot a Morse code with a heavy machine gun? Then how can you arrest people? After setting up the machine gun position, you just wait. I will launch an attack in the early morning and drive the people out of the town." Fortunately.
Rock has a pocket watch, high technology is really a good thing.
"You are simply a genius!" Henry backed Rock and was completely impressed. Who are these people? Is the training at Huayong Camp so high-end?
Watching Henry and his group disappear into the rainy night, Rock raised his hand and called Li De over: "Did you see that big tree outside the town? There are two Boer guerrilla sentries under the big tree. I want to do it silently."
Who among our people can solve them?"
Rock asked himself that if he couldn't do it, then he would have to work together. There were many talented people among the Chinese police, and there were only three cobblers who could stand up to Zhuge Liang.
"Let the Gaude brothers go to the whistle. They used to be hunters and are the best at this." Li De indeed had an idea.
He was indeed good at it. Rock called brothers Gothe and Gordon over. After explaining the situation, Gothe and Gordon nodded repeatedly. Gothe took out two short steel spears from his canvas pocket with his backhand.
"You still bring this thing?" Rock was simply surprised. The police department issued Webley revolvers and Lee Enfield rifles to the police officers. These two actually brought their own weapons. They are really professionals.
"Boss, my brother and I were thinking that we might be able to hunt rabbits or something during the weekdays to make a small stove for the brothers." Gao De took off his raincoat and took off his suede leather shoes.
Roque immediately had full confidence in the two Gaude brothers. They were indeed professionals. He took off his raincoat for easier movement and took off his leather shoes for a quiet approach. He was not a veteran and would not notice these at all.
"Wait a minute, let's go together." Rock wants to go with Gothe and Gordon to confirm that those two people are sentries of the Boer coalition, and Rock is also worried that there will be a third sentry. One more person, one more person
Guarantee.
In fact, there is no need to be so careful. In the rainy night, all the weak sounds were covered by the sound of wind and rain. There was basically no one visible ten meters away. Rock, Gothe, and Gordon moved forward cautiously until they could hear the two voices.
The sound of sentries chatting.
Can't understand!
But Rock could tell that the sentry was speaking Dutch.
Although Dutch and English are two languages, Dutch is between German and English, which are both Germanic languages, and is closer to English than any other language.
As long as they were sure to be Boers, Rock nodded to Gothe and Gordon. Gothe and Gordon each held a short steel spear and bent down to approach the two sentries.
In the drizzle, Rock only saw a flash of cold light but did not hear a sound. The two sentries were knocked to the ground.
Not counting being knocked to the ground, Gothe's short spear was absolutely steady, accurate and ruthless. The short spear penetrated the sentry's neck directly and nailed the sentry to the big tree behind him. The sentry gasped and grabbed the spear with all his strength.
He wanted to pull the short spear out of his neck, but the blood poured out like a faucet, and the sentry slowly stopped.
"Well done!" Luo Ke felt calm and stepped forward to check on the dead sentry.
They are indeed Boers. They are taller than ordinary British people and their equipment is relatively backward. The expeditionary force has been equipped with Lee Enfield. One of the rifles of these two men is a Martini Henry, and the other is a Winches.
Special m1873, must be Boer.
The Martini Henry rifle may also be used by the British army. The Winchester m1873 must be used by the Boers. Although this gun has a faster rate of fire, because it uses pistol bullets, it has less powder and a short range.
There will be British troops choosing this weapon.
"Well done!" Rock praised without hesitation, and Gaude and Gordon beamed. They were the first batch of veterans to come to Cape Town. Hunting was useless in Cape Town, so they came to the Orange Free State.
He finally shines, as long as he holds on to Rock's thigh, the future is promising!
"Hurry up and have something to eat. We'll just go there in the early hours of the morning. If you're discovered, we'll attack you head-on. Reid, protect your explosive packs and make sure they don't get wet." Rock was full of confidence, calculating mentally but not carelessly.
Rock is sure to eat the big fish in the town.
The rainy night is indeed difficult to endure, but in order to win, Rock can only choose to wait in the rainy night.
Finally, the sky began to turn white, and the heavy rain that had been falling all night finally stopped. Rock took a look at the town that was still shrouded in morning fog, and quietly issued an attack order to the commandos.
The heavy rain indeed paralyzed the vigilance of the Boers to the greatest extent, and Rock and the others successfully entered the town. This shows that the Boers only placed two sentries outside the town and did not even arrange a hidden sentry.
But the success only ends here. After all, they are not professional special forces. Rock and the others are not fully prepared and do not have enough understanding of the situation in the town. Gothe just tried to open the courtyard door of the first house.
