The most numerous creatures on the African savannah are not humans, but a variety of wild animals. There are elephants, zebras, antelopes, giraffes and other non-aggressive wild animals, as well as lions, cheetahs, crocodiles, vultures, etc.
Beasts and birds of prey, it is best not to leave the house at night in Africa, because you never know what you are going to face at the next moment.
Modiba knew this truth a long time ago, and now he encountered the most dangerous situation, encountering a hungry lioness on the savanna at night.
Not one, but three lionesses with their children.
The only thing Modiba can rely on is a Martini Henry without bullets——
The Northern Rhodesian Division is doing everything right. The bolt of this Martini Henry's gun has been removed. Even if Modiba has bullets, he can't use it.
"Go away, go away, don't come near me -" Modiba waved the rifle in his hand crazily, trying to hide his panic.
The lioness let out a deep roar from her throat, and her yellow eyes flashed with a dangerous cold light. Two lion cubs that were not yet adults jumped around Modiba, as if they were playing a game with Modiba. p>
Modiba was not in a game mood. In fact, Modiba knew very well that the reason why the lioness had not attacked yet was not because the lioness wanted to let him go, but because the lioness wanted to use him to train the hunting ability of her cubs.
.
At this moment, no one can understand Modiba's mood. If possible, Modiba would rather be enslaved by Yaya for the rest of his life than face the three lions alone.
It's a pity that Modiba has no choice. Two seemingly cute little lions are jumping around, and finally one of them comes around behind Modiba.
"Go away - go away -" Modiba waved the rifle in his hand even more crazily.
The lioness is slowly approaching Modiba.
Although the roar of the little lions is still a bit milky, the sharp canine teeth are already capable of attacking. The two little lions now have their heads close to the ground, their necks are stretching hard, and their tails seem to be meeting the owner's little body.
The dog swayed from side to side a few times.
This is not a show of goodwill, this is an action that is ready to attack.
"Go away - help -" Modiba finally cried out for help, hoping that the Northern Rhodesian Division would send troops to search for him.
Thinking too much, Anton and Suo Chao would not send troops to search for an escaped coolie in the middle of the night on the African savannah. Maybe Modiba took himself seriously, but for the Northern Rhodesian Division, it was very difficult.
Apparently Modiba is not important enough.
Unknowingly, three lions surrounded Modiba.
Just when Modiba was facing the lioness, a small lion behind Modiba jumped up from the ground and rushed towards Modiba fiercely.
It's really a pounce. Although the little lion jumps not very high, its momentum is still amazing. The front paws that have already stretched out their nails are making a fast pawing motion in the air. If you catch it, even if you don't disembowel it, the paws will
The hook-like nails can also pierce the prey's body, and then use the impact to knock the prey down.
Modiba's reaction was also very quick. While dodging, he hit the little lion on the back with the butt of his gun.
So the little lion howled before it even hit the ground, and his voice sounded aggrieved.
This was broken. Before Modiba could turn around, he was knocked down by a huge force. Modiba who turned around in a hurry only felt a heat wave mixed with a fishy smell coming towards his face——
After dawn, the soldiers from the teaching camp who were responsible for searching Modiba found nothing but a Martini Henry rifle with the butt chewed off.
It is estimated that one person was not enough food for the three lions, so the little lion gnawed off the butt of the rifle as if to vent its anger.
"Where are the people?" Anton asked habitually after knowing this situation.
"I don't know, this is Africa. Even an elephant can give you nothing to eat in one night." Suo Chao frowned. This is destined to be an unsolved case. Maybe Anton can send someone to search nearby.
See if you can find lion dung, and you might be able to find something.
"Forget it, Yaya, you are responsible for taking over Modiba's subordinates. Those who are disobedient will be dealt with as soon as possible, and those who are obedient will be organized into labor camps." Anton doesn't care about Modiba's fate. Now Modiba's subordinates
More important.
When Modiba surrendered, there were almost 1,500 people left.
With so many people, it was certainly impossible for them all to follow the teaching camp around. Yaya finally selected 500 people to be responsible for delivering supplies to the teaching camp.
Now, in addition to Modiba's few confidants, there are more than 400 surrendered rebels in the camp who are panic-stricken. These people must also be used. Anton is not willing to let the soldiers of the training camp clean the battlefield. p>
In fact, there is nothing to clean up. These rebels are very poor. Many of them even have tattered clothes. The only valuable thing they have on them may be the rifles they carry. For these rebels, as long as they have weapons,
, then they won’t worry about the future.
However, the Northern Rhodesian Division did not like the weapons of the rebels, so what used to be a good job became a hard job here.
"Okay, sir, I will finish it as soon as possible." Yaya felt guilty before. It was Yaya's task to manage these coolies, but this happened. If Anton wants to be held accountable, Yaya has no choice but to bear the responsibility.<
/p>
Anton had no time to pursue the case. On the morning of the 23rd, Anton received a report that there were rebels in the canyon carrying a large number of women and children and launching an attack on the teaching camp's position.
This formation is very testing. For the rebels, coercion is just a routine operation, but for the training camp it is definitely a test.
The key is whether to shoot. If not, then the rebels holding women and children will definitely be able to break through the defense line of the training camp, and may even cause heavy casualties to the training camp.
If shots are fired, the rebel offensive will certainly be stopped, but the officers and soldiers of the training camp may also turn into devils after this battle. No matter when in the future, whenever they think of this battle, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers of the training camp will be embarrassed.
The smile on the face will never be sunny again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
On a real battlefield, you actually have to shoot at such times. Otherwise, there would not be so many soldiers suffering from post-war psychological syndrome after coming off the battlefield.
Postwar psychological syndrome is a type of "post-traumatic stress disorder" and is also known as the sequelae of a major blow. The blow here also includes a psychological blow.
After receiving the report, Anton and Suo Chao immediately came to the front line.
At this time, the rebel army has not yet left the canyon, but through the telescope, it can be clearly seen that there are a large number of women and children among the rebel army.
No, there are a large number of women and children mixed with a small number of rebels.
These women and children must have been forced. They cried and begged as they walked. Some women would throw away their children, not wanting their children to die with them.
But the young child still didn't understand why he was abandoned, so he continued to stumble after his mother.
Anton clearly saw a mother who was reluctant to let go of her child in the end. When she turned back to look for her child, she was shot dead by the rebels in the crowd.
"Beasts!" Suo Chao was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he wanted to pull out the rebels from the crowd and hang them one by one.
"Quick-fire cannons block the exit of the canyon—distribute weapons to Yaya's men—" Anton's voice was cold, and he wanted to block the entrance of the canyon before the crowd walked out of the canyon.
There is no other way. When these women and children come out of the canyon, they will face the soldiers of the training camp. Anton does not want the officers and soldiers of the training camp to experience this kind of spiritual test.
So in this case, it is most appropriate for Yaya's men to deal with these rebels. Although this is a bit cruel, it is better to die for Taoist friends than for poor Taoists. When these Zulu people resisted the Natal government, they should have thought of such a day. With the roar of the cannon, Yaya ran over with his men and lined up in front of Anton.
Anton said nothing, and raised his finger to point at the exit of the canyon with a sullen face.
Yaya looked excited, took out her pistol and led the way towards the exit of the canyon.
The sound of gunfire——
Anton and Suo Chao stopped talking and even stopped looking through the telescope.
You don’t need to look at it to know how miserable the situation is at the exit of the canyon. Africans are much more ruthless than whites in dealing with Africans. Whites also want to preserve their labor force for colonial slavery. Vendettas between African tribes often occur.
It’s about cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.
Rock didn't know what was happening at the other end of the canyon. After breaking through the rebels' second line of defense, the rebels finally walked out of the position tremblingly with white flags.
"You're surrendering now? You're so spineless. You're going to have to fight us for at least three hundred rounds -" Martin still regrets it. In fact, from a credit point of view, the capture of prisoners is more credit than the annihilation.<
/p>
"They are forced to surrender now. If Anton hadn't taken their escape route, it would not have been so easy for them to surrender." Roque felt relaxed. After arriving in Natal, Roque seemed to
The wind is light and the clouds are calm, but only Rock himself knows the actual pressure.
This was the first large-scale war fought mainly by ethnic Chinese. During the Boer War, the Chinese police participated in the battle, as well as the encirclement and suppression of the guerrillas in Johannesburg. The scale was not large enough, the results were not fruitful enough, and the influence was not enough.
Things were different after this battle. The Zulu rebels had already defeated the Natal Army and the Cape Army. It would be difficult for the Transvaal colonial troops to take advantage of the Zulu rebels. At this time, Rhodesia
The Northern Division was born out of nowhere and destroyed the Zulu rebels with thunder and lightning, which was enough to give everyone a new understanding of the Northern Division of Rhodesia.
Roque's only worry now is whether Nyasaland's premature display of strength will scare the British mainland and deliberately cause trouble when implementing a democratic representative system in southern Africa.
In fact, there is no need to worry about this issue. Ade will definitely stand with Nyasaland on this issue.
Rock himself has made arrangements, and Nyasaland is not alone in London.
