Chapter 1273 Surrender, we surrender (Third update, please subscribe)
Under the starlight, the motorcade drove slowly along the roads of Pretoria!
In fact, Pretoria, the capital, has street lights, but in order to save electricity, or to save money, half of the street lights are turned off after midnight. Even the street lights that are on look a bit dim.
dim.
This made it easier for Jensen and the others to move and prevent them from being exposed to bright light. Jensen's car was in front of the convoy. When the convoy came to the intersection, he, like everyone else, was so nervous that he was sweating like rain.
Next, sweat broke out white marks on their dusty faces. At this moment, the thick clouds in the sky opened a big hole, and more starlight poured down from it.
In fact, even if the moon and stars were hidden behind the clouds, it would not be of much help to the operation. After all, the occasional street lights would always allow the convoy to be displayed in front of everyone without any obstruction.
But in this silent night, who would notice the existence of this convoy? Even if the roar of the engine echoes in the streets, no one would associate the roar of the engine with war or sneak attack.
Together.
The open space in front of the Presidential Palace was shrouded in hazy light under the stars, moon and street lights, so that Jason could even see the roof of the main building of the Presidential Palace against the night sky a few hundred yards away. But he did not
No sentinels found.
Maybe the sentry is sleeping!
Jason thought in his mind, and when he was less than 400 yards away from the Presidential Palace, he ordered.
"parking!"
It’s time to walk next!
Just when Jensen ordered the convoy to stop, he did not notice that someone was standing on them through the window upstairs on the roadside. Behind the seemingly closed window, the ten-year-old machine gun cooling water cylinder was illuminated by the moon.
, seems a bit cold.
"General, they've stopped!"
Four hundred yards away, by the gate of the Presidential Palace, General Smuts was observing the group of intruders through binoculars.
"Take action!"
Following Smuts's order, a gunshot suddenly broke the silence of the night. At the same time as the signal flares soared into the sky, a burst of intensive gunfire suddenly came from the street.
The Boers hiding in the rooms on the second floor on both sides of the street pulled the triggers one after another. These Boers who grew up on the grasslands were all sharpshooters. Every shot they fired would kill an Englishman.
But the real deadliest thing is the machine gun!
The dense firepower formed by dozens of machine guns covered the entire street like raindrops.
What is going on?
When he was surrounded by bullets, Jason was completely confused. He didn't know what was going on?
They will probably never figure it out. The hail of bullets from both sides of the street and the flames from the machine guns intertwined, instantly tearing the fleeing company policemen in half, and many people didn't even get out of the car in a hurry.
, was beaten to death in the carriage.
There was a sound somewhere in the distance behind them, and then there was the scream of a flare piercing the night sky. Two seconds later, a flare exploded in the sky above them, and the dazzling flames illuminated the earth like daylight.
Through the bright light, Jason caught a glimpse of the flashing black shadows ahead. Those black shadows fanned out on both sides of the street. They attacked and fired at the same time.
"Sir, there is an ambush!"
Now everyone knew they were in an ambush, but what could they do?
They could only let the bullets hit their bodies. Many of them fell into a pool of blood before they even had the chance to shoot.
In the dense rain of bullets, the wooden compartment panels of the truck were shattered into pieces, and blood flowed like water from the gaps in the compartment panels and between the bullet holes.
At this moment, Jason heard a "sudden" sound in the air, which was the roar of artillery shells. The shells roared down in an arc and landed on their heads. The first shell directly hit the center of the street, and the explosion
The shock wave directly overturned a car.
For a moment, the flames of the explosion soared into the sky, and the flames of the explosion disappeared briefly, and dense shells fell towards the street. Jason and others who were lying on the ground looked up and watched. The scene in front of them could be seen even without flares.
It was clear that a flame kept rising, reflecting the night sky red. Every one or two seconds, as the artillery shells fell on the stone floor of the street, people were constantly blown up in the violent explosions. In the deafening explosions,
There were body fragments everywhere,
Intense machine gunfire, people's shouts, and explosions rang out in the night sky. The frightened screams of those who were lucky enough to survive were drowned in these sounds.
"No, Jason, let's surrender, surrender..."
James, lying on the road, shouted loudly.
"White flag, white flag, hurry up and raise the white flag..."
As James shouted, a white flag was raised. When the white flag was raised, the attacking Boers stopped.
"They surrender! General!"
"Order the troops to cease fire!"
Putting down the telescope, Smuts raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then ordered to the major beside him.
"We must catch that Jason, that guy... is the mastermind of all this, we must bring that guy to court for trial!"
Of course the trial is just symbolic.
After the words fell, General Smuts said again.
"Inform the President that the British invasion has been foiled!"
In an instant, the whistling of bullets stopped, the roar of artillery shells disappeared, and the battle was over. Those British who survived all raised their hands in panic. They looked left and right at the Boers in fear.
Once upon a time, like Jason, they were still dreaming of becoming a legend, but now? They have indeed become a legend - a failed legend.
They lost half of their troops without even seeing the enemy.
how so?
Even when he became a prisoner of war, Jason's mind was still full of doubts. What was going on?
how so?
It was obviously a surprise attack, but how did it turn into such an ambush? How did the operation get leaked?
The Boers...how did they know?
"May I have your name?"
"My name is George Johnson. I am British. I ask you..."
Before he could finish speaking, the soldier who asked him grabbed him and said.
"George Johnson is here! Got him!"
Soon, the news of George Johnson's capture reached General Smuts. He smiled, turned to an Asian man wearing a dark green military uniform and said to him.
"Thank you, my friend, God bless, if it weren't for your intelligence, maybe they would have succeeded..."
