Chapter Seventy-Six: Jobbel

In the days when there were no grenades and submachine guns, it was no less difficult to attack a village with a large number of people to defend it head-on.

This is also the reason why Roque asked Henry to lead people to the other side to set up a machine-gun position, which was more conducive to destroying the enemy from the house and into the wilderness than a strong attack.

Since it was a strong attack, he no longer concealed it, Li De lit the prepared explosives bag, and threw the explosive bag in front of a house in the outermost part of the town.

After a brief silence –

Boom –

The explosives pack was so powerful that it shook the ground, and half of the house was blown up, and before the dust and smoke could dissipate, someone rushed out of the back door of the house.

Woohoo Woo –

The commandos who were in ambush outside the back door had already prepared, and a volley of guns passed by, and the guerrillas who had escaped from the house were knocked out one after another.

"Replenish the gun, pay attention to the gun, Reed, another one." Roque was not prepared to take prisoners, and now he had to crush all resistance with the most furious offensive, which would hasten the rout of the Boers.

Li De was obedient, lit a new explosive bag, and threw it into the half-collapsed house.

Boom –

This time it's even more powerful.

In the confined space, it was more conducive to the power of the explosive pack, and the whole house was razed to the ground after two successive explosions, and Roque did not care if there were civilians in the house, even if there were civilians, when they took in the Boer guerrillas, they were also guilty of capital crimes, and the Chief of the General Staff of the Expeditionary Force, Sir Kitchina, stipulated that if the Boer farmer was found to be helping the guerrillas, then all farms and houses within 10 miles of the surrounding area should be burned.

In other words, as long as the town took in one partisan, then the whole town would be burned down.

It was clear that Roque had done the right thing, and the whole town was already in an uproar after the guerrillas had just been cleared of the guerrillas in the outermost first house.

It should be noted that the Boer house has no courtyard, at most there is a fence outside the lawn, so the whole town can clearly see how Roque destroyed the first house.

In the face of the explosives pack, the humans have no ability to resist, so Roque and the others have just entered the ruins of the first house, ready to rely on these ruins and continue to attack the town, and the other guerrillas in the town have already collapsed, many of them have not even put on their clothes, so they are disheveled and flee.

Flee to the machine-gun position commanded by Henry.

"Attack, attack, Donn, fire suppression, fire suppression!" Roque did his best to make noise, Donne's heavy machine gun was on the main road in the center of town, and as soon as Roque's voice fell, Donn's heavy machine gun began to roar.

If you don't face the strafing of heavy machine guns, you probably can't understand the power of heavy machine guns.

Let's put it this way, if it is a wooden house, then a heavy machine gun bullet with a caliber of 11.43 mm can easily penetrate the entire house, and the fate of the people in the house can be imagined.

So when Donn's heavy machine gun fired, the guerrillas in the town completely collapsed, and no one wanted to fight the heavy machine gun head-on, even the most crazy people, did not want to use their bodies to test the power of the heavy machine gun.

By the way, Roque and the others had already gotten enough dum rounds from Winston before they set off, and the warheads of these bullets would roll irregularly after hitting the human body, causing explosive wounds, which would be devastating to the morale of the enemy.

"Steady, steady, don't chase, don't chase, Reed, blow it all the way with the dynamite bag, and don't let go of a single house." Roque's main task is to drive people out of the town, and it is Henry's task to eliminate them, and Roque has to minimize casualties as much as possible, because Roque is not sure that although most of the partisans have fled, there are still partisans in the town.

Soon, on the other side of town, more gunfire rang out, and Roque was relieved that the benefits of this battle were indispensable, and at least 200 guerrillas had fled just now, and it was all money.

The battle lasted only half an hour, and before the explosives pack prepared by Li De was used up, the battle was over, with a total of about 260 members of the Boer coalition army, more than 100 killed, and all the rest surrendered, including the civilians in the town, and the commandos captured more than 200 people, including the civilians in the town.

"Locke, we sent it this time, do you know who we killed?" Henry, riding a quart horse, galloped up to Roque and laughed.

"Who?" Roque was absent-minded.

Roque was playing with a flintlock pistol from the Age of Discovery, and he didn't know where he found it, and he didn't know if it could be fired, it was so old that it was a relic, and Roque was going to take it back to Cape Town as a decoration for his home.

"It's Joubert, those captives confessed, just now, Joubert was killed by us." Henry was simply laughing.

"Who's Joubertβ€”" As soon as Roque spoke, he was instantly overwhelmed by ecstasy.

Joubert was the commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition forces, and Roque had heard Joubert's name from Winston before.

"You don't know who Joubert is? Joubert is the commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition forces, the number one target of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and his head is worth ten thousand pounds! Henry's saddle was tied with a bulging bag, and looking at the shape, Roque suddenly had a very bad premonition.

It was still the British who were generous, and after Winston fled, the Boer coalition offered a bounty of 25 pounds, and the British expeditionary force shot Joubert for 10,000 pounds, which is a world of difference.

"Are you sure? Are you sure it's Joubert? Roque asked, if it was true, then it was really big news, and it was estimated that Winston would die of joy.

Not only Winston, if Joubert were killed, then the entire Cape Colony would fall into a carnival, and in addition to receiving rewards, Henry might even be knighted, and Roque's glass ceiling would no longer exist.

The so-called "glass ceiling", in fact, this should be the opinion of the wise, for ordinary people, the glass ceiling may really exist, but for those who are outstanding, the glass ceiling is not so absolute.

"Very, very, very sure, I've got Joubert's belongings, Joubert's body was shredded by bullets and is now being mended, as commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition forces, Joubert deserves the courtesy he deserves, now I just want to go back to Dordrecht and show that damn major can do what we police can do, he will never be able to do." Henry was a cautious man, and he hadn't forgotten about revenge.

Fortunately, Roque thought that the bag next to Henry's saddle was Joubert's head, but fortunately it was not.

It's impossible to think about it, Phyllis is next to Henry, and even if Henry wants to cut off Joubert's head, Phyllis won't let him do it.
