Chapter 76: Joubert

 In the era without grenades and submachine guns, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to attack a village defended by a large number of people.

This is why Rock asked Henry to take people to the other side to set up a machine gun position. Compared to a strong attack, driving the enemy from the house to the wilderness is more conducive to destroying them.

Since it was a forceful attack, Li De no longer tried to be secretive. He lit the prepared explosive bag and threw it in front of a house on the outermost edge of the town.

After a brief silence——

Boom——

The power of the explosive pack was astonishing, and the sound was earth-shattering. Sand and rocks flew in the courtyard, and half of the entire house collapsed. Before the dust and smoke dissipated, someone rushed out of the back door of the house.

Bah bah bah—

The commandos who were ambushing outside the back door were well prepared. A burst of gunfire passed and the guerrillas who escaped from the house were knocked down one after another.

"Replenish your guns, pay attention to your guns, Reed, here's another one." Rock was not prepared to capture prisoners, and now he had to use the most violent offensive to crush all resistance, which would speed up the defeat of the Boers.

Li De was obedient, lit a new explosive bag, and threw it into the half-collapsed house.

Boom——

This time the power is even more amazing.

A narrow space is more conducive to the power of explosive packs. Two consecutive blasts razed the entire house to the ground. Rock didn't care if there were civilians in the house, even if there were civilians. When they took in the Boer guerrillas, they

Also committing a capital crime, the Chief of General Staff of the Expeditionary Force, Sir Kitchina, stipulated that as long as a Boer farmer was found to be helping the guerrillas, all farms and houses within 10 miles would be burned down.

In other words, as long as this town takes in a guerrilla, the entire town will be burned down.

Obviously, Rock's method is right. He has just cleared out the guerrilla members in the first house on the outermost edge, and the whole town is already in commotion.

It should be noted that Boer homes do not have courtyards. At most, there is a fence outside the lawn, so the whole town can clearly see how Rock and the others destroyed the first house.

Faced with explosives, humans have no ability to resist, so Rock and the others had just entered the ruins of the first house and prepared to use these ruins as a basis to continue attacking the town. The other guerrillas in the town had already collapsed. Many of them

He didn't even put on his clothes, so he ran away in such a disheveled manner.

Flee to the machine gun position commanded by Henry.

"Attack, attack, Tang En, fire suppression, fire suppression!" Rock tried his best to create as much noise as possible. Tang En's heavy machine gun was on the main road in the center of the town. As soon as Rock's voice fell, Tang En's heavy machine gun started.

Roar.

If you don’t face heavy machine gun fire, you probably can’t understand the power of heavy machine guns.

Let's put it this way, if it is a wooden structure house, then an 11.43 mm caliber heavy machine gun bullet can easily penetrate the entire house, and the fate of the people inside the house can be imagined.

So when Tang En's heavy machine gun fired, the guerrillas in the town completely collapsed. No one was willing to fight the heavy machine gun head-on. No matter how crazy they were, they didn't want to use their bodies to verify the power of the heavy machine gun.

By the way, Rock and the others had obtained enough DUM bullets from Winston before they set off. The warheads of these bullets will roll irregularly after hitting the human body, causing explosive wounds. This kind of power is very important for

The blow to enemy morale is devastating.

"Steady, steady, don't pursue, don't pursue, Reed, use explosives to blow up all the way, don't miss any house." Rock's main task is to drive people out of the town, and it is Henry's task to eliminate them.

, Rock wants to reduce casualties as much as possible, because Rock is not sure whether there are any guerrillas left in the town although most of the guerrillas have fled.

Soon, more gunshots rang out at the other end of the town, and Rock felt happy. The benefits of this battle were indispensable. At least 200 guerrillas had escaped just now, and that was all money.

The battle lasted only half an hour, and the explosive packs prepared by Li De were not used up. The battle was over. A total of about 260 members of the Boer coalition were killed, and more than 100 of them were killed. The rest all surrendered, including the civilians in the town.

, the commandos captured more than 200 people.

"Locke, we're in trouble this time, do you know who we killed?" Henry rode a quarter horse and galloped to Locke and laughed.

"Who?" Rock was distracted.

Rock was playing with a flintlock gun from the Age of Discovery in his hand. He didn’t know where Li De found it. He didn’t know if it could still be fired. It was so old that it could be called a cultural relic. Rock was ready to

Take it back to Cape Town and use it as a decoration at home.

"It's Joubert. The prisoners said that just now, Joubert was shot dead by us." Henry was laughing wildly.

"Who is Joubert?" As soon as Rock left his mouth, he was instantly overwhelmed by ecstasy.

Joubert was the commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition, and Rock had heard Joubert's name before from Winston.

"You don't know who Joubert is? Joubert is the commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition and the number one target of the Imperial Expeditionary Force. His head is worth ten thousand pounds!" There is a bulging bag tied to Henry's saddle. Judging from its shape, Rock

Suddenly I had a very bad feeling.

The British were still generous. After Winston escaped, the Boer Allied Forces offered a reward of 25 pounds, while the British Expeditionary Force offered 10,000 pounds to Joubert. It was a world of difference.

"Are you sure? Are you sure it's Joubert?" Rock asked. If it's true, then this is really big news, and Winston will probably be happy to death.

Not just Winston, if Joubert is really killed, the entire Cape Colony will be in a state of revelry. In addition to receiving rewards, Henry may even receive a knighthood, and Rock's glass ceiling will no longer exist.

The so-called "glass ceiling" is actually a matter of opinion. For ordinary people, the glass ceiling may really exist, but for those outstanding people, the glass ceiling is not so absolute.

"I am very, very, very sure that I have obtained Joubert's belongings. Joubert's body was torn apart by bullets and is now being mended. As the commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition, Joubert deserves the courtesy he deserves. Now I just want to go back.

Go to Dordrecht and show that damn major that he will never be able to do what our police can do." Henry is a cautious person and has not forgotten his revenge.

Fortunately, Rock thought that the bag next to Henry's saddle was Joubert's head, but fortunately it was not.

Even if you think about it, it's impossible. Phyllis is right next to Henry. Even if Henry wants to cut off Joubert's head, Phyllis won't let him do it.
