The Tanganyika German army still does not understand what the vast ocean of people's war is.
There has never been a situation like Tanganyika in the history of human war. The guerrilla warfare during the Boer War only took some form, but the Glory Castle troops have a tendency to carry forward the guerrilla warfare. The Zulu scouts from Johannesburg, and the people from the Kingdom of Mozambique
Guerrilla warfare experts and volunteers from Nyasaland can provide quite professional guidance to the Fort Honor troops in this regard.
Africa actually has a tradition in this regard. Before the white colonists came to Africa, Africans lived a primitive life of fishing and hunting. The Africans in Tanganyika used bows and arrows as toys since they were young, and they also used bows and arrows as toys.
He began to participate in hunting when his javelin was no longer tall. Sometimes he would chase the prey for days and nights. His physical energy was so strong that he could consume the prey alive. Therefore, all the Africans in Tanganyika were good hunters. p>
Of course, being a good hunter does not mean that you are a good soldier.
Soldiers must first abide by discipline, and discipline is the biggest shortcoming of Africans. The only people in the world who can compete with Africans in this regard are Cossacks. They also have extremely outstanding personal qualities and strong individual combat effectiveness, but they are also undisciplined.
If you are free and undisciplined, you will be eliminated by history.
In fact, during this period, white people in the civilized world were not much better than Africans in terms of discipline.
After the Tanganyikad army occupied Fort Glory, the indigenous tribes around Fort Glory were in bad luck before they had time to escape.
In fact, most of these indigenous tribes that have not yet left have nothing to do with the Fort Honor troops. The Tanganyika people who truly recognize Fort Honor and are willing to resist German colonization have already joined the Fort Honor troops and are still outside the Fort Honor troops.
These indigenous tribes actually don’t care whether they are ruled by Germans or someone else.
But in the eyes of the Germans, there is no difference between the Africans in Tanganyika. Even the indigenous Africans who have not yet joined the Gloryburg rebels are potential enemies of Germany. As long as they have the opportunity, they will attack them.
Spearheads and sharp arrows were aimed at the Tanganyikad army.
Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, one can imagine what fate will befall the indigenous tribes around Glory Castle.
Starting from about the beginning of April, the indigenous tribes around Fort Glory were gradually cleared by the Tanganyika German army. All the cultivated land was destroyed and all the houses were burned. Many people were forced to go to Safe Harbor or Usumbula and became Tanganyika.
Slaves of the Nyqad army, more Africans were unwilling to leave their tribes, and were then shot collectively.
In just half a month, at least 100,000 Africans died in the area around Fort Glory, accounting for one-tenth of the total population in Tanganyika.
This situation of course caused another round of hype in the British newspapers. Although the Germans also refused to form military observation groups from various countries to watch the fun, just like during the Boer War, the Southern African General Staff still obtained a lot of Tanger through various channels.
Information in Nyika.
Some of the most eye-catching photos are said to be from a tribe near the Fort of Glory.
Judging from the photos, Ruwa is quite a large tribe, with a total population of about 2,000.
In the photo, Ruva is burning. The raging fire has engulfed Ruva. Thousands of corpses are neatly lined up in the open space next to the tribe. Next to them, several Tanganyikad soldiers are laughing wildly.
, this photo was published on the front page of The Times as evidence of a serious humanitarian disaster in Tanganyika.
This photo immediately caused an uproar. Not only was the UK hyping up the humanitarian disaster in Tanganyika, but France, which was in constant friction with Germany, was also hyping it up.
Don’t forget that the colonial system of this era was jointly built by Britain and France, so both Britain and France began to hype up Germany’s atrocities in Tanganyika. What Germany faced was a situation that was criticized by thousands of people.
Starting around the end of March, more than 10,000 Africans gathered near Kasanga in the lower reaches of the North Sea.
Kasanga is less than ten kilometers from the border between Nyasaland and Tanganyika. Although information was not developed at this time, the atrocities committed by the Germans in Tanganyika still caused panic among Africans in Tanganyika.
, many indigenous tribes near Kasanga are gathered near the border between Tanganyika and Nyasaland. If the Germans really want to clean up the Africans near Kasanga, these Africans can flee into Nyasaland at any time.
Saran.
The problem is that Nyasaland does not welcome Africans either. In order to prevent Africans from crossing the border into Nyasaland, Nyasaland has even set up barbed wire fences and isolation belts in the border areas, and has border police patrolling around the clock.
, if Africans are found crossing the border illegally, the border police will send them to the mines near Xuanwu City.
Anyway, Xuanwu City is located within the famous Zambi copper mining belt. There are many copper mines around it, which requires a lot of free labor.
Although I know the consequences of illegally entering Nyasaland, there is still a big difference between staying in Tanganyika and waiting to die. At least working for Nyasaland can give me enough to eat and survive, which is very important to the current situation in Tanganyika.
This is already a luxury for Africans in Gurnicka.
On April 15, a Tanganyikad army unit arrived in Kasanga and began to clean up the indigenous tribes near Kasanga.
The Africans near Kasanga had no choice but to head to the borders of Nyasaland and Tanganyika, hoping to enter Nyasaland to avoid the German raids.
At noon on the 15th, at least three thousand Africans gathered in front of the checkpoint on the border between Nyasaland and Tanganyika, and the number was still increasing. This situation immediately aroused the vigilance of the Nyasaland border police. p>
In other words, it aroused the interest of the border police.
"There are so many people, our brothers are going to get rich this time -" After the border checkpoint, first-class police officers Li Se and Robinson were very happy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The border police catch Africans who illegally cross the border and send them to the mines near Xuanwu City. The police station is rewarded, and the mines are also rewarded. This is an important income for the Nyasaland Police Department. The annual benefits generated in this area reach
Hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Therefore, the Nyasaland border police are very happy to see Africans illegally crossing the border into Nyasaland. Usually, for every African caught, the police station and the mine will reward the individual, which adds up to about one pound. p>
Although the number may seem small, the number of Africans illegally crossing the border into Nyasaland is increasing. Since the rebellion broke out in Tanganyika, tens of thousands of Africans are illegally crossing the border into Nyasaland every month.
As mentioned above, the benefits of the Nyasaland Police Station in the past few months have been very good, and the bonuses far exceed the normal salary.
It is impossible to say whether this kind of thing can be done. Although every African who illegally crosses the border is a shining pound in the eyes of the Nyasaland Border Police, if these Africans do not cross the border, the Nyasaland Police cannot
Entering Tanganyika to pull people over is essentially different from the mercenaries in Southwest Africa illegally plundering people in Bechuanaland.
"Make your sister's fortune and call the inspector quickly. There are thousands of people here. We only have one team. Can you catch them?" Sheriff Justin got angry in a hurry. Nyasaland's
There are only ten policemen at the border checkpoint. If the Africans on the other side cross the border en masse, even if ten people are exhausted, how many can be caught?
Li Se woke up from a dream, picked up the phone and started dialing.
Before the number was dialed, the Africans on the other side of the checkpoint suddenly became commotion.
The Tanganyika German cavalry has appeared in the distance, which is like a reminder to the Africans in Tanganyika.
Almost instantly, thousands of Africans rushed towards the checkpoint.
"Go back, this is not where you should be!" Justin pulled out the pistol and put the gun back into the holster after thinking about it. A gun only has thirteen bullets, so what use can it have against thousands of people. Unfortunately, few Africans in Tanganyika understand English, so Justin's warning has no effect.
But looking at the anxious, desperate, and pleading eyes in front of him, even though Justin couldn't understand the indigenous African language, Justin knew what they were talking about.
It's just a wall, with survival on one side and death on the other. This is not a multiple-choice question at all.
"Head, think of a way -" Robinson and several other policemen were desperately holding on to the checkpoint gate. Although Nyasaland closed the checkpoint after the war broke out in Tanganyika, the gate faced
The impact of the Africans was shaky, and Robinson and the others were almost unable to withstand it.
The German cavalry in the distance also noticed this situation, and someone immediately opened fire in an attempt to disperse the crowd in front of the checkpoint.
The muzzle of the gun will definitely not be raised at this time. If the bullet crosses the crowd and falls into Nyasaland, it may cause another dispute.
So immediately someone was shot and fell to the ground.
This immediately aroused panic among the crowd, and the door was squeezed down almost instantly. Fortunately, Robinson and several other policemen ran fast, otherwise Robinson and the others would probably have been trampled to death by the crowd.
However, in this case, a stampede was inevitable. The panicked crowd rushed into Nyasaland. As long as someone was squeezed down, there was no way to get up. Robinson and several policemen who survived the robbery hid in
People in the monitoring room didn't dare to come out at all. They could only watch many women and children being pushed down by the crowd, and then being submerged by the crowd.
"Please maintain order, don't be anxious, one by one, be careful of women and children -" Justin tried to maintain order, but the sound of the tin trumpet was immediately drowned out by the cries and gunshots, and had no effect at all.<
/p>
When everyone poured into Nyasaland, what was left in the border checkpoint were corpses on the ground, some caused by trampling, and some shot by the German army.
Among them, more than a dozen corpses shot in the back fell inside the checkpoint gate.
