The leading officer of the Tanganyikat army did not seem to realize what was happening, and rode directly to the checkpoint, and with a hateful gaze, he glared at Justin, who was still carrying a tin horn in his hand.
Justin also looked at the German officer with a bad gaze, just now in just a few minutes, more than 100 Africans were shot and killed by the German cavalry, and now next to the German officer's war horse is an African who has been shot and wailing, with the medical conditions in Tanganyika, being shot will most likely mean death.
It is estimated that the wailing of the wounded was a little loud, and the German army officer on the horse took out his pistol a little slowly, and then aimed at the wounded who was wailing, looked at it indifferently, smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth, and then pulled the trigger with an expressionless face.
Bang!
Justin had never felt the sound of a gunfire so poignant.
At the same time as the officers opened fire, the other German cavalrymen dismounted and mended their swords to the wounded who were wailing on the ground.
It is indeed a mending knife, the cavalry of this era is also equipped with a saber, when the cavalry charges, the utilization rate of the saber is greater than that of the rifle, the saber of one meter and two meters is extremely sharp, and the action of cutting off the head is very skillful, and it is not the first time to see it.
Liser and Robinson finally reacted at this time, trotted to the bunker behind the checkpoint, and put out a Makqin heavy machine gun on wheels.
Although the Nyasaland troops use general-purpose machine guns, the former Maxim has not been completely eliminated, and the border police still use the former Maxim.
However, the current Makqin is also very different from the previous Makqin, in order to solve the problem of inconvenient movement of Makqin, the engineers of the Nyasaland Arsenal ingeniously installed wheels and baffles for Makqin, so that Makqin does not even need to set up a special position, with a steel baffle with a curve, the safety of machine gun shooters can be protected to the greatest extent.
"Don't be stunned, save people!" Justin called on Liser and Robinson, along with other police officers, to help as many Africans as he could.
Inside the checkpoint, of course.
Justin has never hated Germans so much as he does now.
There were a lot of Africans who were not killed by the guns, but even those who were seriously wounded, when the German cavalry began to mend their knives, were desperately crawling towards the checkpoint.
Crawling back and begging, hoping to get Justin's help.
Justin was helpless, outside the checkpoint was Tanganyika, inside the checkpoint was Nyasaland, Africans in Nyasaland who were shot, Justin would help as much as possible, and Africans in Tanganyika, Justin was beyond his reach.
The German cavalry was indeed hateful, some of them were simply perverts, who could solve the problem with a single sword, and some of them wanted to ride over and let the horses trample on the Africans who were trying to climb in the direction of the checkpoint.
Before Justin could speak, Liser and Robinson couldn't bear it anymore and scolded the German cavalry who were committing violence.
"Hand them over, or I'll level your checkpoints!" The condescending German officers on their horses had a haughty attitude.
It's a pity that Justin doesn't understand German, so he doesn't understand what the German officer is saying at all.
"For the honor of the soldiers, I hope you will stop your violent acts!" Justin tried to communicate with German officers that military personnel should not aim their guns at civilians.
It's a pity that Justin is also doing useless work, and the German officers also can't understand English.
So Justin and the German officers stared wide-eyed.
It was still the German officer who was more clever, and soon found a German cavalryman who knew English.
"Captain Mark orders you to hand over those Africans at once, they have betrayed Germany for their actions and must be punished by Germany!" The German cavalry, who knew English, was also arrogant and lackluster in their choice of words.
"Order your uncle!" Justin was succinct.
The German cavalry who knew English was finally defeated in front of the "uncle", and Nyasaland has many English words with oriental characteristics, and "uncle" is one of them, the pronunciation is exactly the same as that of Chinese, and the meaning and context are very similar.
While Justin was talking to the German officer, the other German cavalrymen were still busy mending their knives, and soon, most of the Africans who had been shot were executed on the spot, leaving only a little girl who was about ten years old and still struggling to get to the checkpoint.
The girl was shot in the leg and crawled with great difficulty, and the girl begged as she crawled, hoping that the German cavalry would let her go.
One of the German cavalrymen, presumably not wanting the girl to climb too fast, laughed and slashed the girl's other leg with a saber.
The girl finally cried out loud in despair, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Bastard, see what you've done? Are you still human? What about your honor? Is this the civilization of the civilized world? Justin yelled at the German officer, hoping that the German officer would stop the German cavalry.
The German officer's expression was indifferent, and he casually glanced at the little girl who was crying, and then looked at Justin coldly.
"What do you see? You think you're cool, don't you? You're a piece of trash! There's a kind of you come here, grandpa teaches you how to be a person! "Justin is quite sane, as long as the German officers do not cross the border, Justin can only stay at the level of verbal aggression.
The German cavalryman who had just slashed the girl was kicking the girl and urging her to keep crawling.
The girl cried as she struggled to crawl forward, with a visible trail of blood behind her.
"You think this will bring the Tanganyika to their knees? Impossible, what you are doing now will only make them hate you even more, which will not help your colonization. Justin tried to distract the German officer, so that perhaps the little girl had a chance to live.
"Germany doesn't need traitors! All traitors deserve to die! The German officer finally spoke, but his attitude did not change.
"If you had treated them well, then they would not have fled at all, and now that you have caused all this, you should reflect on it, not make it worse." Justin is also really helpless, many white people have an inexplicable sense of superiority in their bones, especially in front of Africans.
"How do you know we're not reflecting?" There was a smile on the corner of the German officer's mouth, but in Justin's opinion, it must have been a smirk.
There is a lot of information in this statement, and if the Germans really reflected, then the current behavior of the German army is the result of reflection.
This is also the way of thinking that the Germans have always had.
When the Herero and Namah rebelled in Southwest Africa, the Germans killed all the Herero and Nama.
Now that more and more Africans in Tanganyika are joining the Fort Glory camp, the Germans obviously want to replicate the experience in Southwest Africa, as long as all the Africans in Tanganyika are killed, then Tanganyika will always be German territory.
It's just not known if Germany has enough population to fill Tanganyika.
When Justin was talking nonsense with the German officers, he didn't forget to pay attention to the little girl who was trying to survive.
The wound on the girl's leg was a penetrating wound, and the wound rubbed against the ground when she crawled, so now there was a bit of a lot of blood, which looked shocking.
About two or three German cavalrymen followed the crawling little girl, and as soon as the girl's speed slowed down, the German cavalry would kick the girl and urge the girl to speed up.
In fact, the girl's position was not far from the checkpoint, about twenty meters away, and Justin and the German officer only had a few words, and the girl had almost climbed to the border demarcation line.
The border demarcation line at Tanganyika, Nyasaland, in front of the checkpoint, is a white line painted on the ground with white paint, and after that, Nyasaland is crossed.
Just as the girl was about to touch the white line, a German cavalryman raised his saber in his hand.
"Stop, stop, please don't do this!" Justin was in a pleading tone.
Unfortunately, it didn't work, and when the saber was swung down, the girl's fingers just touched the white line.
It's really heaven on one side and hell on the other.
"Hehe, do you see, this is the fate of traitors!" The German officers seemed to be satisfied with the way the German cavalry had handled.
"Bastards, you will be punished, you will, you will all go to hell, and you will be tormented in hell forever!" Justin now hated the Germans instead of hating.
"You too, hand over those Africans now, or I'll level your checkpoint!" The German officers had not forgotten what they had just asked.
"Don't think! If you dare to step across this white line, then it is an act of declaration of war against southern Africa, I have to say that I really want you to come over, and I will send you to hell with my own hands! Definitely! "Justin didn't give an inch at this point.
In fact, there were hundreds of German cavalry on the scene, but there were only 10 border policemen at the checkpoint.
"Don't think we don't know what role you've played in this war, I'll send you to hell with my own hands, in the near future!" The German officers were also speaking harshly, but it was impossible to cross the line.
At this time, Justin finally had reinforcements, and it was a vigilante group that came spontaneously.
The gunfire just now still attracted the attention of the militia group, the militia in Nyasaland is actually very combative, the equipment and training level are very good, and Ade commented that the militia in Nyasaland is not inferior to the regular army in the British mainland.
Of course, in Nyasaland, the militia is still much inferior to the northern Rhodesian division.
"Sheriff Justin, we've sent a telegram to Xuanwu City, and reinforcements will be coming soon." A member of the militia informed Justin that more militia groups dismounted and entered combat positions, and that the Nyasaland would fight back resolutely as soon as the Germans crossed the line.
The German officers noticed that the militia in Nyasaland was also equipped with the latest Lee Enfield, and then look at the single-haired Mauser equipped by the German cavalry.
The German officers could only look up to the sky and sigh.
