The income of the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company is still very good, and the salary plus overseas allowances and combat allowances are easily comparable to the British middle class, plus the energy of the Umbrella Company, it is not difficult to own a thousand-acre farm in Bechuana.

This kind of scale is often thousands of acres, which sounds like a fantasy in Huanggang, Ling Zhi is already one of the richest people in Medan, and the plantation area is more than 4,000 acres, so it is actually not as good as an ordinary mercenary of the umbrella company.

"If it is an ordinary immigrant, the state government will definitely not allocate so much land, but there are still one or two hundred acres, which is more than enough to feed a family." Hicks is not lying, this opportunity is rare now, and it is not known how long this policy in Bechuana will be implemented, it depends on the rate of increase in immigration, and when the population of Bechuana reaches a certain level, this benefit will definitely be abolished.

"I, I'm going back and talking to my family." Huang Gang is indeed tempted, but it has not yet reached the point of immediate action.

The main problem is credibility, southern Africa has just begun to immigrate from the Qing country, and the Qing Chinese are also all kinds of doubts and hesitations, and some people even get the ocean sent by their relatives, and they also think that it is a well-arranged scam, and they do not believe that there is such a good thing as pie in the sky.

In recent years, more and more ships have traveled between the Qing Kingdom and Southern Africa, and more and more Chinese people have traveled to and from the Qing Kingdom, so that more Chinese people will believe that these benefits are real.

It is a pity that in recent years, the Qing State has noticed the crazy immigration in southern Africa, and it is becoming more and more difficult to immigrate through regular channels, so southern Africa has tried to immigrate from Southeast Asia.

"Then you have to hurry up, many people have applied to immigrate to southern Africa recently, and the port of Medan is almost a boat every other day, and if the benefits are canceled, don't say that I lied to you." Hicks can only say to this extent, if there is an opportunity, it depends on whether it can be grasped or not.

Before Huang Gang could speak, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded from the nearby position.

The 2nd East India Division finally attacked again, more than an hour after the last one.

The troops involved in the attack were probably about seven or eight hundred men from a battalion, and these soldiers, forced by the officers, formed a crooked queue and were launching a group charge towards the mercenary positions.

Unlike the group charge of the British troops, if the British troops launched the group charge, then the officers at the head of the line should be the officers.

The officers of the 2nd East Indian Division clearly did not have the courage to do so, and even the white officers did not participate in the attack at all, but remained in the starting position to command the only Maxim to supervise the battle.

Those guys who participated in the attack were really unlucky, they would be hit by mercenary fire if they went forward, and they would die under their own guns when they retreated, and many of them had desperate and crazy expressions.

"Steady, steady, steady—" Hicks reminded loudly, the general-purpose machine gun beside him had been reloaded with a tripod, in fact, the attacking troops of the 2nd East India Division were now within range of bullets.

In order to maximize the killing effect, Hicks must still put the East India Second Division closer to fight, and now if he shoots, then the enemy may still escape, originally the mercenaries wanted to capture prisoners, but after seeing so many tragedies along the way, David decided not to leave a prisoner, and to wipe out all the East India Second Division to set an example.

Don't forget that most of the people killed were ethnic Chinese or ethnic Chinese, and there may have been Baba Nyonya in the 2nd East Indian Division, but these people are not worthy of forgiveness.

At five hundred meters, the positions of the 1st squadron and the two nearby squadrons remained in tacit understanding and did not fire.

Three hundred meters, Hicks was still calm, and there were already officers in the nearby positions who began to shout "Ready-"

At 200 meters, some soldiers of the 2nd East India Division could not bear to raise their guns to aim at the mercenary positions, and more than 20 light and heavy machine guns on the positions of the three squadrons opened fire together.

Hicks didn't know what a meat grinder was, but for a moment, the front of the position was really full of colorful flesh and blood.

The shining bullet was the tracer bullet that marked the trajectory, and the flesh and blood were flying the 2nd East India Division, which was charging the group.

From Hicks' point of view, the soldiers of the 2nd East India Division who were attacking were swept down in rows like cutting wheat, and large gaps appeared in the original dense formation in an instant, and the surviving soldiers were stunned for a second or two, and then turned around and ran in a panic.

It's a pity that no matter how fast the two legs run, they can't run more than the speed of sound, and the machine gunners of the umbrella company are all skilled workers who have undergone strict training and are fed with bullets, and under the guidance of tracer bullets, the fastest soldiers did not run out of a hundred meters, and it took about 30 seconds before and after, and all the troops of a battalion were exhausted.

There was no time to get the law enforcement team of the 2nd East India Division to do it.

"How about boy, do you have any results?" Hicks waited for the gunfire to stop before asking Huang Gang.

"It seems that there is, I seem to have hit one, but it seems to-" Huang Gang's face was red, Hicks didn't fire a shot just now, but Huang Gang emptied a five-round magazine.

It's not that Hicks is lazy, it's that Hicks trusts the heavily trained machine gunners, who deserve the title of "elite" even in the British Army, and are qualified to embroider a logo on their sleeves.

Huang Gang is simply hot-blooded, and this situation generally happens to recruits.

"The enemy only needs us to shoot when they are within 100 meters, as long as the machine gunner is not killed, our greatest role is to be ready to throw grenades, if the enemy is close to the position 50 meters, then we need to throw grenades, and then put on bayonets, ready to fight the enemy hand-to-hand." Hicks did not hesitate to pass on experience, and the faster Huanggang and their recruits grew up, the easier it was for Hicks and them.

"Got it - do you need us to clean up the battlefield?" Huang Gang was eager to try.

The soldiers who were killed were actually money, and the mercenaries may not look down on the oil and water on the soldiers of the Second East India Division, but for the soldiers of the Medan Army, there is still a head, even those tattered and bloodstained clothes, which can still be worn after washing and sewing and mending, they are all children of poor families, and they are not so particular.

"Not yet, if you leave the position now, you will become a target - and those are not all corpses, there must be someone pretending to be dead, you must be careful to replenish the knife and gun when cleaning the battlefield, and don't move the corpse casually, maybe there is a grenade under one of the corpses." Now only the southern African army in the world uses hand grenades on a large scale, and the use of hand grenades to make all kinds of tricks is originally a mercenary's specialty.

In various confrontation training and live-fire exercises within southern Africa, many troops suffered a lot of losses because of this thing, and later the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa simply compiled a course on the production of tricks, which is now a textbook for the Nyasaland Army Academy.

"Will the person on the other side collect the body?" Huang Gang stretched his neck to look, his eyes were really hot.

"Be careful—" Hicks reminded, then called a precision shooter to signal, "Can you see the white officer?" ”

Hicks was referring to a white officer of the 2nd East India Division who was looking at Hicks with a telescope under a large tree about 700 meters away.

"Yes—" The precision shooter looked through the telescope before adjusting the scope.

Seven hundred meters is actually a bit far for an accurate shooter, but it is a small point for a sniper, after all, the rifle used by the sniper is equipped with a quadruple scope made in Nyasaland.

"Hold your breath, aim patiently, and kill with one hit—" Hicks chattered, the precision shooter didn't speak, and pulled the trigger ten seconds later.

It is indeed a one-hit kill!

"Beautiful! Pay attention to the observation, shoot when you see people, and we will not take prisoners this time. "Hicks is satisfied, and that's the value of a precision shooter.

What Hicks didn't know was that the precision shooter had just killed Derek Roland, the commander of the Second East India Division.

Even if he knew, Hicks wouldn't care, there were no eyes on the battlefield, and since he came to the battlefield, he had to have the consciousness of dying at any time.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the "Albatross" bombers departing from the Port of Medan airport finally flew to Xianda.

Sorties of aircraft in this era were cumbersome, because there were no radios, no electronic maps, and pilots could only rely on experience to find combat targets.

But experience is useless in unfamiliar areas, so at this time the guidance of the ground target is needed, usually the ground is used to indicate the direction and target.

That's why the "Albatross" has not arrived until now.

The first batch consisted of a total of three "albatrosses", and the "Albatross" bombers, which could have carried 400 kg of torpedoes, were now replaced with 50 kg bombs, limited to pylons under the wings, and one "Albatross" could only hang six.

Six is enough, Xianda is a village of only more than 1,000 people, and now nearly 10,000 troops are squeezed in, the density can be imagined, fifteen 50-kilogram bombs are enough to blow Xianda upside down.

The military of this era did not have the habit of digging bomb shelters, let alone anti-aircraft weapons, but in Tripolitania, Italian ground forces used rifles to successfully shoot down a "Gale" fighter plane purchased by the Ottoman Empire from Nyasaland, which is said to have killed the pilot and then crashed, which was also the first plane in the world to be shot down by ground forces.

The Italian army is not the laughing stock of the whole of Europe now, and its combat effectiveness is still there, at least stronger than the 2nd East India Division.

Therefore, when the three "albatrosses" platoon glyphs flew over Xianda, many soldiers of the Second East India Division were watching the excitement below, and even the officers and soldiers in those rooms were attracted out.

When the three "Albatrosses" dropped their bombs, a miracle finally happened, the mercenaries on the ground and the soldiers of the Second East India Division were actually cheering, the mercenaries were celebrating the victory, and the soldiers of the Second East India Division were purely watching the excitement.
