There is a problem that must be clarified. Don’t look at the rifle’s ruler that is often seven or eight hundred or two thousand, but it is actually all bluffing. Without using a scope and only using mechanical aiming, the sight of the sight is already larger than the target from 200 meters away. It is meaningless to require accurate shooting at this time. Whether it can hit the target is basically a mystery.

Or -

Depend on the feeling!

What does it mean to feel?

Half is confused, and the other half is confused.

Lee Enfield's scale has a range of 1,800 meters. Not to mention hitting people, elephants cannot hit. Under normal circumstances, the attack distance of the rifle is about 100 meters, and no matter how far it is, it will not exceed 200 meters. The distance is more than 200 meters. When aiming, you need to use the scope to assist.

The Lee Enfield rifle equipped by Rock and others can be regarded as the most advanced rifle in the world at present, but Rock and others did not have scopes. Although scopes have been used since the war in the United States and South America, the truly practical scope will not be successfully developed by Germany's Carl Zeiss in 1904.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether there is or not. Rock and the others don't have it, and there are no Boer guerrillas. At long distances, Rock and the others can also use heavy machine guns to suppress the Boer guerrillas. The Boer guerrillas do not have heavy machine guns to fight back. This is a complete asymmetric war.

In fact, the cavalrymen like Rock also brought heavy machine guns. Although the heavy machine guns are "heavy", they weigh more than 50 kilograms, and the four boxes of bullets are not too heavy. It is very convenient to use horses to transport them and it is very easy to assemble. Five or six people work together, and the heavy machine gun position will be set up in less than two minutes.

In fact, there is no need. When the heavy machine gun position on Rock's side was set up, the detour troops led by Anton had already been detoured. The Boer guerrillas did not resist stubbornly and simply chose to surrender.

It should be emphasized that the British's policy of capturing during this period was still very relaxed. According to the provisions of the Expeditionary Force Command, all members of the Boer guerrillas who surrendered to the British army would be lenient as long as they vowed not to oppose the British army.

Of course, policy is policy, and implementation is another matter. When Rock and Henry set off, August Russell dictated the order of a chief of staff of the Expeditionary Force, Sir Kichinna, that all the members of the Boer guerrillas captured were shot on the spot, whether they were injured and captured or voluntarily surrendered.

Note that August Russell is "oral" and does not have a command file, at least Rock and Henry do not see the command file.

So how to deal with these prisoners is still a big problem.

"Locke, we killed 35 Boers, captured 11, and prepared an eight-man firing squad. This time we made great contributions." Henry was very happy. He wiped out a guerrilla team with a total number of 46 people at one time. It may not be a big deal for the police to put it in the army.

What's more, before this, the Expeditionary Forces were defeated repeatedly on the front battlefield. As far as Henry knew, this was the first time that it had been established to annihilate the Boer guerrillas.

"Henry, don't worry, these prisoners cannot die, it is useful to keep them." Rock did not want to kill prisoners, because these prisoners were of great use.

"Can't die? You forget what the director said when we set out?" Henry didn't think too much about it. The leniency policy of the Expeditionary Force headquarters was for the Boers, and actual implementation was another matter.

"Don't care what the director said, I ask you, have you seen the relevant order documents?" Rock would not obey a "oral" order. What if August Russell refuses to admit his account in the future?

"I didn't see it--" Henry looked confused.

"Then pretend it hasn't happened." Rock is not stupid. What if this is a trap?

Don't think that this kind of thing is impossible. In the late Boer War, such a case occurred. A British captain was dismembered by the Boer guerrillas. Then the captain's subordinates drove the Boer guerrillas to death. During the process of killing them, they killed a German priest, which attracted the attention of the German emperor. The final result was that two colonial officers were shot as scapegoats.

The two colonial officers were Australians, and later the Australians made a movie to mock the hypocritical British.

Unfortunately, Rock had watched that movie, so Rock would not make this mistake. No matter whether the British would lose the debt or not, Rock would not give the British a chance.

"—How is that possible? Locke, you have to think clearly that it is the director's order." Henry didn't expect that Rocke would dare to disobey. This was very dangerous. Even if he successfully completed the mission of the Expeditionary Force Command, he would inevitably be worn by August Russell.

"I didn't say disobey, but I just don't kill now. Those Boer captives are of great use. Leave them to Stanley and let them stay in a conspicuous place so that we don't have to worry about Boer bombs." Rock's method is a bit despicable, but it's very useful.

"Good solution, Rock, you are such a genius!" Henry was not stupid either, and immediately understood what Rock meant.

The main way Boer guerrillas attacked the railway line was explosives, which first blow up the train and then launch an attack, otherwise the Boer guerrillas would not be able to catch up with the train.

In the past, the train had no choice but to deal with it passively. Now Rock puts the Boer captives in a prominent position on the train. The Boer guerrillas wanted to blow up the train, and the one who died first would be the captured Boer guerrillas. Rock wanted to see if the Boer people could ruthlessly get their hearts.

Soon, the train started again, and this time the speed was much faster, at about 30 kilometers per hour. Although it was not fast enough, if no accidents occurred, the commando should be able to complete the mission of the Expeditionary Force Command.

Although he had seen the dawn of completing the task, Rock was not happy. In the battle just now, four Chinese policemen were killed on the spot, and two Chinese policemen were seriously injured. In terms of medical conditions in this era, serious injuries can almost be determined to be death.

Some were killed and seriously injured, but not slightly injured. This seemed unreasonable. After checking the seized weapons and ammunition, Rock found that many of the bullets used by the Boers had used files to modify the warheads to varying degrees, which also means that the Boers were using Dam bullets on a large scale.

Right, it is the Dam Bullet. The name of the Dam Bullet comes from its origin, the British arsenal in the small town of Dam Doum near Kolkata, India.

Although the Hague Convention of 1899 explicitly stipulated that the use of Dham bombs was prohibited on the battlefield, it was obvious that the Boers did not comply with this provision, and of course Rock also believed that the British would definitely not comply with it.

For the British and Boers, the Hague Convention-

What is that?
