The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky. The mountain road in Basutolan is not much better than the road to Shu.
There are now 893 people left in the training camp led by Anton. Each of them has to carry more than 30 kilograms of supplies on average, and the amount of ammunition they can carry is twice the normal amount. In order to increase the firepower, the training camp also has two 37mm Maxim rapid-fire guns.
The guns are carried separately, and now these equipment have become the biggest trouble.
"Sir, after climbing over this mountain, we can go around to Sehrabataibe -" Modiba is unarmed. He has been by Anton's side for the past few days, and his men are now disarmed.
, became the transportation team of the teaching camp, helping the teaching camp transport supplies.
Although Modiba said it was easy, there was a nearly 90-degree cliff in front of Modiba and Anton. The height of the cliff was more than 20 meters. There were no paths or trees around it. This made Anton very nervous.
For light and fire.
"How to climb over? Where is the path you are talking about?" In Anton's view, this cliff is impossible to climb over. Although the training camp has complicated training subjects, there is no training in rock climbing, which is beyond the training syllabus.
"Damn it, this guy didn't do it on purpose, did he?" Suo Chao, the commander of the training camp, also had a bad temper, and he already held down the handle of his gun while speaking.
"Gentlemen, don't worry-" Yaya's expression was quite relaxed.
Anton and Suo Chao patiently watched Yaya and Modiba communicate.
Soon, a little black man neatly packed up the small pieces on his body, carried a bundle of ropes and began to climb up.
"What the hell, there aren't even any protective measures -" Suo Chao was also speechless. Even though 20 meters is not too high, someone would be killed if he fell.
"In the future, the training camp will still have to carry out similar training projects, but we can't be so arrogant, we still have to have the protection we deserve." Anton really opened his eyes. These Africans can sometimes really do things that ordinary people can't. "It's okay, gentlemen, this is commonplace for us Zulu people -" Yaya was indeed not nervous, and her tone was quite complacent.
The slap in the face came very quickly. Before Yaya could finish her words, a black guy probably lost his grip and fell off the cliff. His screams echoed through the cliff, and he fell to the bottom of the cliff like a broken sack.
The military doctor in the training camp still did his duty, came to Xiao Hei to check, and came back shaking his head.
Anton and Suo Chao looked at each other in silence.
Yaya and Modiba didn't care, they waved their hands and two more guys climbed up.
Looking at the strong figures of the two black men, Suo Chao was finally moved: "These little black men can be good soldiers if they are trained well."
"Come on, you only saw this for a moment. Sir Alex is very resolute in this regard. Don't make mistakes. We can cooperate, but we can't just take it in." Anton vaccinated Suo Chao, and the obedient Xiao Hei was indeed
It's very useful, but there are some things in Xiaohei's bones that cannot be changed.
This time it was much smoother. The two black guys successfully climbed to the top and then threw the rope down. At this time, one black guy's brain short-circuited again and he threw them all down without fixing the rope on the cliff first.
Yaya and Modiba were so angry that they jumped on their feet and yelled. The other black guys were all laughing and laughing, but didn't take it seriously.
Anton and Suo Chao looked at each other, both shaking their heads.
This section of the cliff was the final obstacle. As more than a dozen rope ladders were successfully built, the troops passed faster and faster.
"No, it's still too slow. I'll take a company to leave first, and you guys can crawl slowly here -" Anton was anxious, and the attack time agreed upon with Roque was July 12th. Anton and the others had to attack on July 12th.
After going around to Sehra Bataibei, we still have to investigate the terrain and rebel situation, set up sniper positions, etc. There are still many things to do.
"Let's wait a while and bring more people with us." Suo Chao also knew that this was not the time to be polite. When the teaching camp set off, fearing that the firepower would not be strong, he transferred all the Madsen light machine guns from the entire army and equipped them to the squad.
Level 1.
Now these heavy weapons have become a burden. In fact, the Madsen light machine gun is okay. The key is the Maxim heavy machine gun and the 37mm Maxim rapid-fire cannon. It still takes some effort to get them up the cliff.
"I can't wait any longer, Yaya, tell your people to hurry up -" Anton was so anxious that he ordered Yaya and led the troops to run forward under the guidance of the guide.
Hurrying slowly, Anton finally arrived at the scheduled location before the scheduled time on the night of the 11th.
Anton really didn't expect that the exit of the canyon was actually very lively at this time. Many people lit torches and made noise at the exit of the canyon. Men were yelling, women were begging, and children were crying. It was a mess like a bar.
"The rebels have set up a defense line at the exit of the valley to prevent the rebels and their families from escaping. These women and children want to return to the tribe, but the soldiers will not let them go -" Anton's guide ran to the exit of the canyon and listened for a while.
, and then come back and explain to Anton.
"Captain, set up a position outside the canyon exit -" Anton remained silent and commanded the troops to immediately set up a defense line.
The terrain is difficult, and it is good to have difficult terrain. On the other side of the canyon, the rebels are guarding and defending. If the Northern Rhodesian Division attacks, it will definitely pay a heavy price.
On this side of the canyon, Anton and the others have blocked the entrance of the canyon, and it is not easy for the rebels to break through.
It’s not that it’s not easy, it’s almost impossible.
At the exit of the canyon, there is a cliff on one side and a river on the other. Although the water flow in the river is not large now, in places like Africa, there are crocodiles, hippos and the like in any small ditch. This provides human
The accessible road is only a few dozen meters wide, and Anton and the others are not familiar with the terrain. Otherwise, they would not need a battalion. Send a company over and place two heavy machine guns at the exit. As long as there are enough bullets, they can defeat as many rebels as they come.
Not afraid.
Anton and the others did not have heavy weapons, but they brought a lot of Madsen light machine guns. For a force of more than 100 people, there were a dozen Madsens, which was enough to block the exit of the canyon.
Before the position was completed, the rebels at the exit of the canyon finally reached an agreement, and hundreds of old, weak, women and children, mixed with the rebels, rushed toward Fang County in a chaotic manner.

"Shoot and shoot -" Anton is not polite. There is no need to warn at this time, and there is no need to put it in and then fight to achieve any results. Just let it go and fight.
Da, da da da——
The firing rate of the Madsen light machine gun is 450 rounds per minute, which is not as fast as the 600 rounds per minute of the Maxim heavy machine gun, but the firing rate is still very fast compared with the rifle.
The magazine of the Madsen light machine gun is also filled with one tracer bullet for every five bullets. It still looks pretty good at night. Rock will definitely sigh here, it is almost like an LED light strip.
Anton couldn't care less about admiring it. These chains of fire were actually harvesters of human life. The lethality of a fully loaded 6.5 mm caliber bullet was not much lower than that of a 7.7 mm bullet. It would still leave a hole in a person's body. More than a dozen Madsen light machine guns fired at the same time. The rebels were running around like headless flies that had blown up the camp. The smarter ones were still shouting angrily. The translator listened and came over to tell Anton with a smile.
.
"These people thought we were rebels too, and asked us to stop shooting——"
Laugh?
What's so funny about this?
Those who are wailing in the hail of bullets are also compatriots who are translators. Don’t they have any sympathy?
Anton's evaluation of the Zulu people is another level low. This is different from whether he treats the enemy as ruthlessly as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves. On the battlefield, Anton will not show mercy and will still order to shoot when it is time to shoot.
, Anton would not hesitate when refilling his gun, but no matter what, whether the person killed was a Zulu or a Chinese, Anton would not be able to laugh.
This is respect for life and has nothing to do with the relationship between ourselves and the enemy.
The smile in the translation is actually a disregard for life, which Anton really disagrees with.
Basically every Madsen light machine gun emptied a magazine before Anton and the officers ordered a ceasefire.
There was no sound in front of the position, not even wailing or pleading. It was as if those people had never appeared before. There were only torches everywhere trembling in the night wind.
"Take your people to the front, gather all the torches, and make a few fires." Anton ordered the translator, since he loves to see jokes so much, let you watch them up close.
"Sir, can we help clean up the battlefield?" The translator didn't realize anything was wrong at all. What he was thinking about now was the belongings of the people who died just now.
"Oh, of course." Anton laughed angrily, that's good, so that Anton won't need to have any mercy when dealing with these Zulus in the future.
Anton can only comfort himself in this way.
So the exit of the canyon soon became lively again. Just now, there were rebels lying down and avoiding the machine gun fire. Now the gangsters began to clean up the battlefield, and those guys who pretended to be dead had nowhere to hide.
It has to be said that the gangsters are indeed very clever. As long as they find someone who is seriously injured and dying, or someone who is slightly injured but not dead, they usually use one knife. As for those who are pretending to be dead, they often need to use a few more knifes to kill them.
Fatal.
The torches scattered on the ground at the canyon exit were quickly gathered together, and several huge bonfires were lit on the ground, completely illuminating the canyon exit.
The translator came to Anton with a smile on his back carrying a baggage, then spread the baggage and asked Anton to pick first.
This is also a rule. People with high status must pick the trophies for cleaning the battlefield first. Even though the gangsters have been busy for so long, they don't end up with anything in the end. They only have things that the soldiers in the training camp don't like.
In the end, Xiaohei will be cheaper.
Anton really doesn’t want it, but look at the happy little blacks and the soldiers staring at him——
Anton sighed, reached out and took out a handmade wood carving from the bag.
The translator immediately cheered, and then enthusiastically invited other warriors to choose their trophies.
The wood carving in Anton's hand seems to be a family of three, with a man and a woman on both sides, and a little girl with long hair in the middle.
This was probably a happy family once, but it's a pity that the family is now torn apart, just like the wood carvings in Anton's hands.
