006 Chase (Sixth Update, Ask for Subscription)

With 120 commandos and 40 Little Black Detectives, in Johannesburg, Roque is confident that he will wipe out any guerrilla force.

In fact, the Boer guerrillas were scattered guerrillas, and on the frontal battlefield, the Boer coalition forces were beaten by the expeditionary force and lost their armor, and the guerrillas were not able to do any harm to the regular army.

In 1902, Milner negotiated with representatives of the Boer guerrillas, who at that time sent representatives of two Boer republics, thirty-two local militias, and one hundred and sixty-five guerrillas.

In fact, it's all nonsense, when Roberts announced the end of the war, there were only more than 20,000 Boers left who were still resisting, and nearly two years from Roberts announcing the end of the war to the beginning of negotiations, the more than 400,000 expeditionary forces had nothing to gain in the Transvaal and Orange?

It is too much to underestimate the power of the scorched earth policy!

In most cases, the Boer guerrillas had only twenty or thirty people, sometimes even three or five people, and they did not dare to fight the regular army at all, and were driven around by the expeditionary force like rats, and after the peace talks, the Boers laid down their arms in total, and this also included many guerrilla families, and a third of the real guerrillas were good.

So 120 commandos plus 60 little black scouts can indeed walk sideways in Johannesburg.

With the support of the Governor's Palace, the Johannesburg Police Department is now also strong, Roque and they are all one man and two horses, and the team also carries police dogs and heavy machine guns, police dogs are easy to handle, just put them in a bag next to the saddle, and the heavy machine guns will be assembled when they arrive at the place, although they are a little troublesome, but they are a big killer weapon against the poorly equipped guerrillas.

In Johannesburg in September, it was spring and summer, the weather was neither hot nor cold, and Roque had already changed into summer clothes, and in order to rush for the night, he put on a windbreaker outside.

Since coming to Johannesburg, the Suns have rarely had the opportunity to let go of Sahuan, so they were very excited along the way, carrying Roque all the way, and soon sweating profusely.

Roque is still distressed, deliberately controlling the speed, not letting the sun speed to the extreme, otherwise the sun may not be able to run Blomfield farm, the thoroughbred is fast, but the durability is not good, if it is really a long run, it really can't outrun which cheaper hybrid horses.

Johannesburg is less than 50 kilometres from Holfontein, and before dawn they finally arrived in a valley less than a kilometre from Blomfield Farms.

"Martin, take your men on a detour to the rear of Blomfield Farm; Gaode, you are in charge of the frontal assault; Yaya, take your people around the perimeter, and if anyone escapes, they can be killed. "Roque's only request is to be annihilated, alive or dead.

"Huya-" Martin, Gao De, and Yaya all roared in a low voice, and their fame was only taken immediately, they were really heroes and husbands, and the battlefield was the place where they could best show their manhood.

By the way, determine the time of the attack, Roque hurried up to eat something, and later Roque will also participate in the operation, even if he does not participate in the assault, long-distance support can still be done.

At five o'clock sharp, the group left the valley and headed for Blomfield Farm.

Ten minutes later, Roque commanded the heavy machine-gun shooters and set up the machine-gun position on a hillside less than three hundred meters from the Blomfield farm.

Gao De had already led the assault team to set off, the sky was just dark, on the farm, there was a faint mist around the farmhouse, it was still early at this time, and there was no human figure on the farm, Gao De and they approached cautiously, and lurked less than a hundred meters away from the farmhouse.

It was supposed to be the sentinels of the guerrillas who were discovered.

At five forty o'clock, someone appeared in the farmhouse.

The early partisans had to add fodder to the horses.

Roque looked at his pocket watch in the faint morning light and nodded to Li De beside him.

Knock Knock Knock –

Heavy machine guns began to roar, and chains of tracer bullets flew sideways in the morning light, and the wooden farmhouse was suddenly splashed with sawdust, and a faint smoke and fire raged.

Someone in the farmhouse broke out of the door, and without exception, all of them were torn apart by heavy machine guns.

Under the cover of heavy machine guns, some commandos stealthily advanced to the side of the farmhouse and began to pour diesel fuel on the wooden farmhouse.

Roque lives or dies, so it doesn't matter if he stays alive or not, the guerrillas are hiding in the house, and if the commandos want to attack, they will definitely cause casualties.

Then don't storm it, just burn the house, and if the partisans don't come out, then wait to be burned alive.

It's better to die than to live, and the guerrillas are not stupid, and as soon as they smell the smell of diesel, a white trouser sticks out of the door of the farmhouse.

Well, that's also a white flag.

With the strong and the weak, the result is so easy.

A guerrilla detachment of 35 members was cornered and had no choice but to surrender without firing a single shot, and in the short time since then, 14 people had already been killed by heavy machine gun fire.

Asymmetrical warfare is the result of this.

The interrogation took place immediately.

At this time, prisoners of war had no human rights, as long as Martin confessed, he didn't care about the life or death of the prisoners of war, and when answering questions, as long as the prisoners of war hesitated slightly, Martin would casually cause some damage to the prisoners of war that could never be recovered.

Don't think about casually talking nonsense to get by, the prisoners of war are interrogated separately, and the confessions of more than a dozen prisoners are compared with each other, and it is clear who is lying.

The fate of a liar is to be summarily killed.

If it were the British, maybe they would have to organize an eight-person firing squad to execute the execution, Yaya would not have been so troublesome, how stingy the Zulu people were, Yaya was not even willing to waste bullets, dragged the captive's hair, lifted the captive's head, let him take one last look at the newborn sun, and wiped his neck with a knife.

Prisoners of war are like poisonous snakes that have been chopped off, rolling and struggling on the ground, but because their trachea is severed, they can't make any sound, they can only gasp violently like a broken bellows, and often within a minute, they will return to calm.

It's a bit brutal, but the effect is also excellent.

"Director, this is not Quentin Summerfield's partisans, their captain is called Ignatz, and there are prisoners of war to confess, they met Quentin Summerfield's partisans in Krugersdorp three days ago." Martin was helpless, the last time, Martin and they were in the air at Krugsdorp.

"Take the captives, and we'll go to Krugersdorp." Roque must cut the grass and eradicate the roots this time, even if he can't catch the ship, it doesn't matter, if Henry's father does go to Johannesburg to take up the job, then Roque will use Quentin Summerfield to pick up Henry's father.

Under normal circumstances, according to the regulations of the Expeditionary Force Command, these prisoners were to be executed on the spot.

However, Roque was not prepared to do this, and Roque also needed the cooperation of these captives to find Quentin Summerfield, and it would not be too late to execute Quentin Summerfield when he found him.

Of course, Roque would not have said this to these prisoners of war, the commando team was equipped with Boolean interpreters, and the interpreters told the prisoners that they would be released when they found Quentin Summerfield, which made the prisoners a little excited, to be alive, no one wanted to die, not all partisans regarded death as home.

An hour later, the assault team set off again, and this time Roque changed to a thoroughbred horse named "North Wind", North Wind was a jujube red horse, just turned four years old, and his foot strength was on par with the sun.

Before noon, Roque and his party rushed to the farm where the captives confessed.

Not surprisingly, Quentin Summerfield was very cunning, and Roque also pounced.

"Arrest everyone in the neighborhood, and I don't believe that no one knows where Quentin Summerfield has gone!" Roque was ruthless, but at the same time reminding himself that this was war.

In times of war, there is no mercy at all, and to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to himself, and Roque knows that if he goes on like this, it won't be long before he may become a pervert.

But Roque can't help it, if you want to count it like this, Quentin Summerfield is now a pervert.

Roque's arrest was also justified, and according to the rules of the expeditionary force command, if anyone dared to provide any help to the guerrillas, all those within ten miles of the area would be thrown into the concentration camps.

Roque didn't ask for all the people from the ten miles around, he wanted Quentin Summerfield's whereabouts.

It turns out that if you don't treat people as people, then it's really simple to ask for intelligence.

Roque soon learned of Quentin Summerfield's whereabouts, who had just left Krugersdorp yesterday morning, with Louis Botha, who had succeeded Joubert as commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition.

Louis Botha!

Compared to Louis Botha, Quentin Summerfield is a small miscellaneous fish, if Roque can catch Louis Botha, or can get Louis Botha's corpse, then Roque can almost book a baronial title, if his life is better, the viscount is not impossible.

Thinking of Louis Botha, Roque's heart was on fire, so after Yaya had dealt with the captives, the assault team set off again, this time the target had been changed from Quentin Summerfield to Louis Botha.

——

Roque still underestimated the difficulty of the pursuit of Louis Botha, and the chase ended up being three days.

In fact, from the next day, Roque and the others had already left the Transvaal and entered the Cape Colony.

Before entering the Cape Colony, Roque also hesitated, but Roque quickly strengthened his confidence, although Roque did not have the right to enforce the law in the Cape Colony, but as long as Louis Botha was caught, all the efforts were worth it, so Roque continued to chase without hesitation.

Although they still haven't caught up with Louis Botha on the third day, Roque knows that they are getting closer and closer to him.

On the morning of the third day, with his experience as a hunter, Gaude found Louis Botha's camp.

Louis Botha must have just left, because the ashes in the camp were still warm, and after carefully inspecting the camp, Gaude judged that Louis Botha had just left for an hour at most.

An hour, if it is on the endless prairie, is already within sight.
