415 Forty Germany

While the 35th Division was struggling to move forward, the Lions were actually always looking for an opportunity to attack the 35th Division.

However, such an opportunity is not easy to find, the 35th Division is not the 2nd Tanganyika Division after all, the Lion Regiment that has just formed the army is not a strictly trained Nyasaland Commando Regiment, Wu Ben will definitely not take human lives like Terry Dunlop to pile up, countless exercises within the Northern Rhodesia Division have proved that the crowd tactics do not work at all in the face of automatic weapons, the equipment of the 35th Division is much better than that of the 2nd Tanganyika Division, and the equipment of the Lion Regiment is much worse than that of the Nyasaland Assault Regiment. The previous method of annihilating the 2nd Tanganyika Division by the Nyasaland Assault Regiment was not applicable to the Lion Regiment.

"At the current pace, in three days, the 35th Division will arrive at Fort Helmut—" Mu Mu looked at Wu Ben expectantly, obviously hoping that the Lions would replicate the miracle performed by the Nyasaland Assault Regiment in the Battle of Fort Helmut.

"This time we can't do it the same way we used to, I can guarantee that if we snipe the 35th Division at Fort Helmut, then the 35th Division will not attack at all, but will surround us and wait for support, and then we will be completely passive." Wu Ben also wanted to replicate the miracle of the Nyasaland Assault Regiment, but the objective situation did not allow it.

Although the 35th Division had just been formed, it was a complete infantry division with a total number of more than 18,000 men.

The total number of the lion regiment plus the auxiliary troops is only about 6,000, and if you fight head-on, even if you hurt 1,000 enemies, you will lose 800 yourself.

This kind of loss-making business cannot be done.

"So what are we going to do?" Mumu was also Alexandria at this time, and the total strength of the Fort Glory army was now less than 30,000, and the reinforcements from Germany plus the local servant army in Tanganyika had exceeded 70,000, and the balance of strength between the two sides was still very large.

"Abandoning Fort Glory, we will cross Lake Ruqua towards Kapalala, jump out of the German encirclement, and then wait for an opportunity to attack the German troops, as long as we can crush a German unit, we can break the German encirclement." Wu Ben has a plan, but the sacrifice is a bit big.

Mu Mu was obviously reluctant to give up Glory Castle.

Fort Glory is located near the border between Tanganyika and Nyasaland, and can easily receive all kinds of supplies from Nyasaland.

If the war is tight, the troops of Fort Glory can even retreat into Nyasaland to refine, so as to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the German army.

Therefore, the troops of Fort Glory have always developed around Fort Glory, and the rebels in Tanganyika also use "Fort Glory" as their name, which shows the importance of Fort Glory to Mumu.

"Don't be reluctant, the Germans can't stay in Fort Glory forever, and when the Germans leave, Fort Glory will still be yours." Wu Ben is still comforted, comparing his heart to his heart, and replacing it with Wu Ben, no matter at any time, I am afraid that he is not willing to give up Nyasaland.

Although the situation is different, the emotions are all the same.

"So how do we cross Lake Ruqua—" Mumu was not stupid, although he was reluctant, he still accepted this reality.

"Leave this question to me, you go and arrange it now, we definitely can't all evacuate, send the women and children to Xuanwu City, let's move forward lightly-" Wu Ben's words are also a hidden murderous intention, sending women and children to Nyasaland is actually a control over the troops of Fort Glory.

Mu Mu didn't seem to realize it at all, and happily agreed to Wu Ben's suggestion.

In fact, even if he realized it, Mu Mu had no choice, there were more than 20,000 troops near Fort Glory, and the women and children combined were more than 50,000, it was impossible for these people to act with the large army, if the troops had to drag their families with them when they were transferred, it would definitely affect the speed of the troops, and eventually even bring about a catastrophe.

That night, the Lions received the last supplies from Xuanwu City at the border, and at the same time transferred the elderly, weak, women and children to Nyasaland for resettlement.

Martin instructed Wu Ben to take the opportunity to act, and if the situation in Tanganyika completely collapsed, then Wu Ben should at least ensure his own safety and bring the troops back as much as possible.

"My lord asked me to bring you a radio, no matter what happens, you must get in touch with the headquarters in time, and if necessary, you can withdraw from Tanganyika, and you must not leave any evidence for the Germans-" Martin also knew that this trip was extremely dangerous, and Martin was obviously more concerned about Wu Ben's lion regiment than the Fort Glory troops.

For the Lions, the Fort Glory troops are actually servant troops, the kind that can be abandoned at any time.

The meaning of the existence of the servant army is this, nominally to provide assistance to the regular army, but in fact, the servant army is responsible for all kinds of dirty work, including sacrificing in place of the regular army at critical moments.

In addition to guns and ammunition, the Lion Regiment received a batch of medicines and a dozen highly trained field doctors.

Most of these doctors are Africans, they were sent to Johannesburg Medical School by Yaya to be commissioned to train, and the doctor who led the team was called Edward, because he was nicknamed "King" because he had the same name as King Edward VII of the British Empire.

This is also considered a Western characteristic, if it is in the hierarchical East, calling this kind of nickname is tantamount to looking for death, and it doesn't matter in southern Africa, which is now self-governing and has weaker and weaker control over this aspect.

Beginning the next day, the troops of Fort Glory, including the Lions, advanced towards Lake Ruqua, preparing to cross Lake Ruqua and jump out of the German encirclement.

Prior to this, a force of about 3,000 men was ordered to launch an attack on the German 35th Division in order to cover the movement of the main forces and delay the offensive of the German troops.

These 3,000 men were actually outcasts, but unfortunately they still knew nothing, and thought that this was part of the plan to attack the German troops, so they happily left Fort Glory and marched in the direction of Fort Helmut.

Wu Ben and Mu Mu will be able to achieve no waves in the ancient well at this time, and they will succeed in ten thousand bones, which is also no way, when the living lives become numbers on the battle report, no matter how rich the feelings are, they will gradually become cold-blooded.

Five days later, the 36th Division, departing from Ping'an Harbor, arrived at Fort Glory on time.

Compared with the 35th Division, the 36th Division was calm and calm, and it was hardly attacked by the guerrillas along the way.

So the 36th Division was easy up and down, and after arriving at Fort Glory, or after occupying Fort Glory, Erich von Falkingham and the commander of the 36th Division, Alvar Butler, inspected Fort Glory.

The key is the path that has naturally formed between Glory Fort and Xuanwu City.

During this time, Fort Glory has received many aids from Xuanwu City, and tens of thousands of people have been transferred from Fort Glory to Xuanwu City a few days ago, so now a road has been formed between Fort Glory and Xuanwu City, and the road conditions are quite good, although it can't catch up with the roads in Nyasaland, but the road conditions are better than most roads in Tanganyika.

Erich von Falkingham noticed that there were obvious signs of repair on the road, and that a lot of small stones were used on the shoulder, which were smashed very strongly, and it seemed that the troops of Fort Glory had put a lot of effort into this road.

"It seems that the support of the Nyasaland people to the rebels at Fort Glory is not groundless—" Alvar Butler said nonsense, but at his position, there are indeed some things that cannot be said casually, without evidence, and with a high status, just another sentence may cause international disputes.

"Find a way to contact General Martin of the Northern Rhodesia Division, and I hope to meet him in due course." The person Erich von Falkingham actually wanted to meet was Roque, but unfortunately Roque is now a viscount, Deputy Minister of Defense for Southern Africa, concurrently Deputy Minister of Justice, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, so he really didn't have time to meet Erich von Falkingham.

The so-called lack of time is an excuse, even if Roque is busy, there is still time to squeeze in, the key is the mismatch of identity, if Erich von Falkingham is now the chief of the German General Staff, then Roque has to give face no matter how busy he is.

"The people of Nyasaland are too much, these Orientals are like locusts, they have filled Nyasaland in just a few years, I have heard that there are Chinese everywhere from Nyasaland to the Transvaal, I really don't know what the British think, are they not afraid that the number of Chinese will be too large, and it will affect the position of the British in southern Africa?" Alvar Butler is still worried about the British, which is a bit out of tune.

"Hehe, if Germany also had 20 million square kilometers of colonies, then we wouldn't care about a little southern Africa—" Erich von Falkingham was visibly more aware of the situation in Britain.

However, Erich von Falkingham did not understand why the humble and timid Chinese in the Qing Kingdom had undergone such a big change in southern Africa.

What a magical land.

"Twenty million, it's hard to imagine, almost forty Germany—" Alvar Butler couldn't help but sigh.

At present, Germany's territory in Europe is about 540,000 square kilometers, and Germany is the largest country in all of Europe, except for Russia.

This territory included Alsace and Lorraine, which Germany had claimed from France through the Franco-Prussian War, and France was so ashamed of this that it was only after the First World War that France advocated a complete partition of Germany.

However, Alvar Butler still did not notice that the calculation of the territory area during this period was calculated together with the area of the colonies, otherwise Britain would not have had 20 million square kilometers.

Unfortunately, there were no remote sensing satellites at this time, so even the German government did not know the exact size of Tanganyika and South-West Africa.

It is estimated that Germany probably does not have the opportunity to measure accurately.
