As the base camp of the British army on the Eastern Front, Dodrecht has become a military city, and a small town is filled with soldiers. In addition to the 6th and 10th divisions from the local area, there are also Carbine Infantry Regiment from Australia and a cavalry detachment from India.

By the way, there is also a servant formed by the Cape Colonial Government here, but they are not trusted and can only undertake some simple logistical tasks.

It is conceivable how conspicuous a force composed of police among tens of thousands of regular troops would be. Moreover, most of the members of this police force are Chinese.

Don't expect the quality of white people at this time. Rock was mentally prepared for this, but when faced with the unscrupulous insults of those white-skinned pigs, Rock still felt angry.

"Police officer, are you here to arrest the Boers?"

"I hope you have enough handcuffs."

"The battlefield is not where you police should come. Go back to Cape Town to catch thieves."

These are quite civilized and even more disgusting.

"It's so damn, how could Cape Town allow yellow people to be policemen!"

"You will be beaten up by the Boers!"

"Yellow-skinned monkey, get back to your mother's belly!"

——

Not to mention Rock, even Henry couldn't listen, but Phyllis was more direct and gave each of those who spoke rudely, which attracted all kinds of filthy words.

"Mr. Major, shouldn't these behaviors be stopped?" Henry, as a member of the commando, could have been unable to hold back. If there weren't a higher-level commander, Henry would have been retaliated.

"Captain Henry, they have not received any education, please forgive their rudeness." The major dismissed and felt a little indulgent.

"Mr. Major, this is not an acceptable reason." Henry gritted his teeth and secretly wrote down the major's number and name, and then settled the account later.

The major turned a deaf ear and took the commandos outside the town to transfer to a carriage. About half an hour later, the carriage came to a British artillery position.

This artillery position has more than twenty artillery guns, and the target of the artillery is a small hill opposite. Although the mountain is not high, the mountain is steep. This is the new task of the commando: "Your new task, capture the Boer position before sunset, I believe you can do it. Look, you have defeated a Boer guerrilla team before, and now, continue your good luck."

"Mr. Major, we are policemen and do not have the ability to undertake military tasks." Henry could not believe his eyes and asked a police force to attack the Boer positions, which was obviously to let the commando die.

It is hard to say that I will never die, but there are many corpses wearing khaki uniforms on the mountainside, all of which were left by British troops who attacked before. It seems that the battle has lasted for a long time.

Although the attack deadline determined by Lord Roberts, the commander of the Expeditionary Force, during this period, the battle between the British and Boer coalitions did not stop. Although it did not reach the level of battle, small-scale combat was continued.

Even if it is a small-scale battle, it is not something that the commando can bear. Don’t forget that the commando is a policeman, not a regular army.

"During the war, all armed forces in the Cape Colonial colonies must obey the command of the Expeditionary Force, including you Cape Town police." The major was tough and his hands were already on the handle of the gun at his waist. It seemed that as long as Henry dared to disobey his order, the major would not mind using the gun to force Henry to the battlefield.

"Mr. Major, we can execute orders, but we need some intelligence, such as how many Boers are defending on that mountain, what kind of weapons do they have, and how about training?" Rock did not allow Henry to continue arguing with the Major. This dispute had no meaning. The Major clearly wanted the commando to die. If Henry refused to execute the order, Rock suspected that the Major would really shoot Henry with this as an excuse.

It sounds incredible, does it?

In fact, there were many incredible things on the battlefield. In the Second Boer War, 1,072 officers and soldiers in Britain were killed, including many noble children, and some of them had much more noble identities than Henry.

Speaking of the casualty rate of aristocrats in war, many people may not believe that in World War I, six million men of appropriate age in Britain participated in the war, and 12.5% ​​were killed. How many children of aristocrats were killed during the same period?

The answer is an astonishing fifty percent!

"There is no intelligence. If there is intelligence, the war would have ended long ago." The major's face eased a little, but his eyes were still cold: "You have half an hour to prepare."

For half an hour, Rock ordered the commandos to hurry up and rest, replenish food, and organize their own equipment, and only carry the war-related materials with them, and put them on as light as possible.

"f***, this guy did it on purpose. He asked us to die." Henry and Rock bit their ears, hoping that Rock could have a better way.

"So what? If we were all killed in the battle, then no one would know all this." Rock stuffed bullet bags in his chest and then took out the bullet partition in Lee Enfield's bullet bay. He couldn't hold back in this battle, he had to do his best.

The magazine partition is a magical design, used to partition the magazine or magazine, so as not to allow bullets in the magazine to come up.

This design comes from the hidden concerns of soldiers' waste of bullets by the army of various countries. They believe that bolt rifles using ammunition casings or fixed magazines have too fast firing speeds. For example, Lee Enfield, equipped by Rock and others, is a skilled shooter who can fire 15 bullets per minute. With ammunition casing isolators, soldiers cannot get replenishment from the ammunition casing after firing bullets in the chamber, so they have to take out a new bullet from the ammunition bag on their body to load them.

It can be said that there is an extra bullet compartment partition. Lee Enfield, who originally had a ten-round bullet compartment design, became a single-shot rifle like Henry Martini.

Rock doesn't like this device, and doesn't like it at all. It didn't matter before, but now when it's time to fight, it's time to be desperate, so it's all unreserved.

After throwing away the partition of the bullet compartment, Rock thought for a while and then went to the major: "Mr. Major, we need some Dam bullets."

"Damm bullet? No, no, we cannot use Dam bullets. This is clearly stipulated in the Hague Convention." The major was looking at the pocket watch and did not even raise his head.

No?

Believe in your ghost!

Rock doesn't bother you, there's nothing, there's nothing. Rock originally wanted to ask the major for some grenades, but it seems that there would definitely be no grenades.

I hope these artillery soldiers are more reliable.
