With 120 commandos and 40 little black detectives, Rock is confident in destroying any guerrilla group in Johannesburg.
In fact, the Boer guerrillas were just stragglers. On the frontal battlefield, the Boer coalition forces were defeated by the expeditionary force. The guerrillas had no ability to cause any harm to the regular army.
In 1902, Milner negotiated with Boer guerrilla representatives. At that time, the Boers sent representatives from two Boer republics, 32 local militia groups and 165 guerrilla groups.
In fact, it is all nonsense. When Roberts announced the end of the war, there were only more than 20,000 Boers still resisting. Nearly two years from the time Roberts announced the end of the war to the start of negotiations, more than 400,000 expeditionary troops were in the Transvaal.
Nothing gained with Orange?
We underestimate the power of the scorched earth policy!
In most cases, there were only twenty or thirty people in the Boer guerrillas, sometimes even three or five people. They did not dare to fight with the regular army. They were chased around like rats by the expeditionary force. After the peace negotiations, the Boers put down their weapons.
There are only more than 8,000 people in total, including many family members of the guerrillas. One-third of them are real guerrilla members.
So 120 commandos plus 60 little black scouts can indeed walk sideways in Johannesburg.
With the support of the Government House, the Johannesburg Police Department is now strong. Rock and his team are both one man and two horses. The team also carries police dogs and heavy machine guns. The police dogs are easy to handle and can be put in the bag next to the saddle. The heavy machine guns are coming soon.
Although it is a bit troublesome to reassemble it locally, it is a great weapon against poorly equipped guerrillas.
September in Johannesburg is the transition between spring and summer. The weather is neither hot nor cold. Rock has already put on summer clothes and a windbreaker for the night trip.
Since arriving in Johannesburg, Taiyang has rarely had the opportunity to let loose and have fun, so he was very excited along the way. He carried Rock on his back and ran all the way, and soon he was sweating profusely.
Rock was still distressed, and deliberately controlled the speed to prevent Sun from reaching the extreme speed, otherwise Sun might not be able to run to Blomfield Farm. Thoroughbred horses are fast, but their endurance is not good. If they really run long distances,
I really can’t outrun the cheaper mixed-blood horses.
Johannesburg is less than 50 kilometers away from Holfontein. Before dawn, Rock and the others finally arrived at a valley less than one kilometer away from Blomfield Farm.
"Martin, take your people around the back of Blomfield Farm and outflank them; Gothe, you are responsible for the frontal attack; Yaya, take your people around the perimeter. If anyone escapes, you can kill them directly." Rock only.
The requirement is total annihilation, both alive and dead.
"Huya——" Martin, Gothe, and Yaya all roared at the top of their voices. They only seek fame from horses. They are really heroes and husbands. The battlefield is the place where manliness can best be demonstrated.
Check the watch and determine the attack time. Rock takes the time to eat something. Rock will also participate in the action later. Even if he does not participate in the assault, long-distance support can still be achieved.
At five o'clock sharp, the group left the valley and headed towards Blomfield Farm.
Ten minutes later, Rock commanded the heavy machine gun shooters to set up the machine gun position on a hillside less than 300 meters away from Blomfield Farm.
Gothe had already led the commando team to set off. It was just getting dark. In the farm, there was a faint mist around the farmhouse. It was still early and no one could be seen in the farm. Gothe and the others approached cautiously. They were less than a hundred meters away from the farmhouse.
Meter's place to lurk.
They should have discovered the guerrilla sentries.
At five forty, someone appeared in the farmhouse.
The guerrillas who got up early had to add fodder to their horses.
Rock looked at his pocket watch in the dim morning light and nodded to Li De beside him.
Dong dong dong dong——
The heavy machine gun began to roar, and chains of tracer bullets flew across the morning light. The wooden farmhouse suddenly scattered sawdust, and there was a faint smoke and fire.
Someone rushed out of the farmhouse, and without exception, they were all torn apart by heavy machine guns.
With the cover of heavy machine guns, commandos advanced covertly to the farmhouse and began to pour diesel on the wooden farmhouse.
Rock doesn't matter whether he's dead or alive, so it doesn't matter whether he's left alive or not. The guerrillas are hiding in the house, and if the commandos attack by force, they will definitely cause casualties.
Then don't attack by force, just burn the house. If the guerrillas don't come out, then wait to be burned alive.
It is better to die than to live, and the guerrillas are not stupid either. As soon as they smelled the smell of diesel, a white underpants stuck out from the door of the farmhouse.
Well, this is also a white flag.
If you use strength to defeat the weak, the result will be so easy.
A guerrilla group with 35 members was forced to surrender without even firing a shot. In just a short period of time, 14 people had been killed by heavy machine guns.
Asymmetric warfare is the result.
The interrogation will take place immediately.
At this time, the prisoners of war had no human rights. Martin only wanted to give a confession and did not care about the lives of the prisoners of war. When answering questions, as long as the prisoners of war hesitated for a moment, Martin would casually cause some irreparable damage to the prisoners of war.
Don’t even think about getting away with random nonsense. Prisoners of war are interrogated separately. The confessions of more than a dozen prisoners are compared with each other. It’s clear who is lying.
The fate of liars is death on the spot.
If the British were here, they might have to organize a firing squad of eight people to execute the execution. Yaya wouldn't have such trouble. The Zulus are so stingy. Yaya wouldn't even waste bullets. He would pull the prisoner's hair and kill him.
Lifting his head to let him take one last look at the newborn sun, he wiped his neck with a knife.
The prisoners of war are like poisonous snakes with their heads chopped off, rolling and struggling on the ground. However, because the trachea is severed, they can't make any sound. They can only pant violently like a broken bellows. They often calm down within a minute. p>
It is indeed a bit cruel, but the effect is also excellent.
"Director, this is not Quentin Summerfield's guerrillas. Their captain is called Ignatz. A prisoner of war has reported that they met Quentin Summerfield's guerrillas in Krugersdorp three days ago.
Guerrillas." Martin was helpless. Last time, Martin and the others failed in Krugersdorp.
"Take the prisoners and let's go to Krugersdorp." Roark must eradicate the root cause this time. It doesn't matter even if he can't catch the ship in time. If Henry's father really goes to Johannesburg to take up a post, then Roark will use Quentin Sa.
Murfield takes care of Henry's father.
Under normal circumstances, according to the regulations of the expeditionary force headquarters, these prisoners must be executed on the spot.
However, Rock is not prepared to do this. Rock still needs the cooperation of these prisoners to find Quentin Summerfield, and it will not be too late to execute him when he finds Quentin Summerfield.
Of course, Rock would definitely not say that to these prisoners of war. The commando team was equipped with a Boer translator. The translator told these prisoners that they would release them after finding Quentin Summerfield. This made the prisoners of war a little excited.
No one wants to die while alive, and not all guerrillas regard death as home.
An hour later, the commando team set off again. This time Rock changed to a purebred horse named "Bei Feng". Bei Feng was a bay red horse that had just turned four years old and had as strong a foot as the sun.
Before noon, Rock and his party arrived at the farm that the prisoner told them to do.
As expected, Quentin Summerfield was very cunning, and Rock missed the mark.
"Catch everyone nearby. I don't believe that no one knows where Quentin Summerfield has gone!" Rock said fiercely, while also reminding himself that this is war.
In times of war, there is no room for mercy. To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself. Rock knew that if this continued, he might become a pervert before long.
But Rock can't help it. If you want to calculate it this way, Quentin Summerfield is already a pervert.
Rock's arrest is justified. According to the regulations of the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, if anyone dares to provide any help to the guerrillas, all people within ten miles will be thrown into concentration camps.
Rock didn't ask for the arrest of everyone within ten miles. What Rock wanted was the whereabouts of Quentin Summerfield.
Facts have proved that if you don’t treat people as human beings, it’s really easy to get information.
Rock soon learned the whereabouts of Quentin Summerfield. Just yesterday morning, Quentin Summerfield had just left Krugersdorp, and with him was the successor to Joubert as the commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition.
Louis Botta of the Commander.
Louis Botta!
Compared with Louis Botta, Quentin Summerfield is a small fish. If Rock can catch Louis Botta, or get Louis Botta's body, then Rock can almost book a baronetcy.
, if life were better, it would not be impossible for the Viscount.
Thinking of Louis Botta, Rock's heart became hot, so after Yaya finished dealing with the prisoners, the commando set off again. This time, the target had been changed from Quentin Summerfield to Louis Botta. p>
——
Roque still underestimated the difficulty of chasing Louis Botta, and the pursuit lasted three days.
In fact, starting from the next day, Rock and the others had already left the Transvaal and entered the Cape Colony.
Before entering the Cape Colony, Rock also hesitated, but Rock quickly strengthened his confidence. Although Rock and the others did not have law enforcement rights in the Cape Colony, as long as they caught Louis Botha, all efforts would be
It was worth it, so Luo Ke continued to chase without hesitation.
Although they still haven't caught up with Louis Botta on the third day, Roque knows that they are getting closer and closer to Louis Botta.
On the morning of the third day, Gaude relied on his rich experience as a hunter to find Louis Botta's camping site.
Louis Botta should have just left not long ago, because the ashes in the camp were still warm. After carefully checking the camping site, Gaude judged that Louis Botta and the others had just left for an hour at most.
In one hour, if you are on the endless prairie, you will already be within the visual range.
