Although the Huayong have been trained for a long time, confusion is inevitable when encountering an enemy attack. After all, training and combat are two different things. A good performance on the training ground does not mean a good performance on the battlefield.
Especially when the brother who was shot and fell to the ground is screaming for help beside him, it is really difficult to stay calm.
At this time, the role of the commander was demonstrated. Rock looked at the bushes on the opposite side, turned over, and jumped from the carriage to the other side of the train.
"Leave the carriage, leave the railway, rely on the train as cover, and build a defensive position -" Rock squatted down and tapped the wheel with his fingers. Very good, the steel plate is at least five centimeters thick, which is much thicker than the steel plate used in the carriage. p>
"Locke, Locke, bring the horse over and fight back. We have to fight back." Henry secreted a little too much adrenaline and completely forgot about the previous division of labor with Rock.
In fact, before setting off, Rock and Henry had already discussed a plan. If they were attacked by guerrillas, Henry would command the heavy machine gun and be responsible for frontal suppression. Stanley and Rahul would outflank them. Rock would lead 20 men with superb riding skills.
The commandos are responsible for the pursuit, and Rock is confident that if this is done, the Boer guerrillas will never be able to hold on.
As for the guerrillas, don't expect them to have clever tactics or a strong will. They don't even have enough training, and there is no guarantee of logistics. If they can't win, Roque won't even think about getting promoted and making a fortune, and partnering with Ada.
It’s better to do business.
Thinking of Ada, Rock's heart ached again.
But this was not the time to be pretentious. Rock grabbed Henry and squatted behind the wheel, grabbed Henry's collar, and yelled in Henry's face. The spittle sprayed into Henry's face: "Calm down Henry, follow our plan."
, you command the heavy machine gun to suppress and fire, don't let them escape, don't let them change positions, I will flank with Anton, you are the commander, you have to calm down!"
Henry felt a little confused and nodded repeatedly like a little fool.
"Phyllis, watch Henry, don't let him mess around." Rock didn't expect Henry to perform well, just don't cause trouble. He just told Phyllis and ran behind the train.
"Okay, okay -" Phyllis seemed to be frightened by Roark, and while nodding her head, she looked at Roark with brilliant eyes.
In fact, military horses were also loaded on the train. They were in the car behind Rock and the others. Rock's horse was a four-year-old Hunter horse named "Sun". Its coat was a bit mixed and looked a bit dirty.
, but it runs as fast as sunshine.
Rock rode the sun and flew to the back of the car. Anton had already led the team and set off. Only one heavy machine gun team was left doing suppressive shooting.
"Follow me, follow me, Sun, come on!" Rock called to the cavalrymen who already had guns in their hands. He held Lee Enfield in one hand and walked around to the rear of the guerrilla position.
In fact, there is no need to outflank the guerrillas.
The biggest advantage of the guerrillas is the suddenness of the attack. If this is lost, the poorly equipped guerrillas have no chance of defeating the armed commandos. Henry's caution prevented the bomb attack, and Tang En's burst of fire made the guerrillas
They mistakenly thought they were discovered, but actually the guerrillas had already lost when they fired, but they didn't realize it yet.
Even if they did not realize that they had fallen into a passive position, when the guerrillas discovered that Anton had led more than 20 commandos to cross the railway and outflank him, the guerrillas immediately disrupted their position.
Unlike the commandos who had made plans in advance, the Boer guerrillas did not understand what "the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy garrison and we harass, the enemy is tired and we attack, the enemy retreats and we pursue", and they did not understand what "reasonable choice" meant.
The Boers just instinctively choose the combat method that is most beneficial to them, and it is impossible to exert the full power of guerrilla warfare. When the important force of the commando is
After all the machine guns were fired, the commando team was already invincible.
Under normal circumstances, the Boers' attack would start with blowing up the train. If the train is blown over, the soldiers escorting the train will definitely fall into chaos. Under normal circumstances, the Boers only need one charge to overthrow the defending troops.
The formation was completely defeated, and this is how Winston was captured by the Boers.
Perhaps the Boers did not expect that Henry would be so cautious when facing a disaster. As a result, the explosives lost their effect and the Boers lost their greatest advantage.
Different from advancing in a neat queue, Anton has already felt the threat of cross fire. When outflanking, the formation was spread out very wide. The commandos hardly straightened their bodies and moved forward. They all crouched and took advantage of the terrain to cross.
They advance sequentially under cover, sometimes even rolling and crawling. This speed may be slower, but it poses a greater threat to the enemy. The guerrillas who have the advantage of the terrain can hardly find shooting targets, and they must be prepared for heavy machine gun fire.
So it was very frustrating. Less than five minutes after the battle started, the guerrilla position had already begun to collapse.
It was really collapsing. Before Anton and the others had even gotten back into position, some Boer guerrillas were already panicking and trying to escape. However, anyone who dared to get up from their position was torn to pieces by heavy machine guns. Therefore, the guerrillas evacuated the position so quickly.
Not fast, at least not as fast as the cavalry led by Rock.
Just behind the guerrilla position, Rock discovered a large group of war horses, as many as forty or fifty.
"Get ready to fight and kill anyone who appears in your sight. What we want is not to defeat them, but to completely annihilate them!" Rock's appetite is huge. The guerrillas want to attack the commandos, and the commandos also want to kill the guerrillas.
To gain military exploits, offensive and defensive positions can be changed in an instant.
If Henry were by Rock's side, I'm afraid Henry would have a clear understanding of his marksmanship.
As soon as Rock and the others reined in their horses, a guerrilla dragging a rifle escaped from the position and tried to seize the horses and escape.
Roque didn't give him any chance at all. He was still on the horse, so he raised his hand and shot.
Boom!
The escaping guerrillas fell down in response, and the commandos around Rock cheered loudly.
I really want to applaud him. He can fire a single shot from about a hundred meters away without missing a single bullet. This marksmanship is top-notch even among guerrillas.
Regarding this point, Rock is full of confidence. Since his rebirth, Rock has consumed hundreds of rounds of bullets every day on the training ground. He has never slacked off even if he was injured. The distance within a hundred meters is really trivial. Rock's training
When shooting, we used a 100-meter chest target, and Rock only hit the head, which is much more difficult than shooting a chest target.
