Chapter 518: See also "Actual Control Zone"
The communications department in the Green Paint Zone has been sending Morse radio signals around the world using communications satellites for 72 hours a day, but the rough embryos have not received a response from the suspected submarine.
Seeing that the numbers on the timing app were shrinking, Zhao Yiyi, who had a premonition that something big was about to happen, had the heart to ask the communications department to stop this seemingly meaningless effort.
However, a group of naval officers led by Luo Can resolutely opposed the cessation of contact with the submarine, although they were all naval officers with two knives, but all of them knew that except for the BB63 with heavy armor and mine protection belts, the other warships that crossed the crowd could not withstand the attack of a modern heavy torpedo.
Thanks to the communication satellites that are always active, Tempoz can report in detail to the Green Paint Command Center on a daily basis the preparations of the Boers on the South African side.
Just as they arrived in Johannesburg, they didn't even have time to wash, but the cavalry sent by Botha to deliver the message brought back a report of their successful attack on the Englishman's airfield.
As in the history of the original plane, in the first phase of the Second Boer War, the British army still dropped the chain by inertia. Due to the large number of reconnaissance planes that had been sent to patrol during the previous day, the British had repeatedly crushed the Boer ambushes against the railway transport lines.
In order to improve the efficiency of their own counter-ambushes, the British army dispersed their forces in various strongholds along the railway, and once they found that the Boer cavalry was concentrated in a certain direction, they mobilized the forces of several strongholds to besiege the Boers.
At night, without the help of aerial reconnaissance, the British chose to return to their stronghold to avoid being harassed by the Boers.
Before meeting Tempoz and them, Botha really had no way to deal with the English, which was already clearly out of the ordinary for him. However, after Diana revealed the weaknesses of the British, the pre-World War I veteran aircraft, Botha quickly figured out how to deal with them.
Although Louis Botha did not read "The Art of War", this did not prevent him from playing the game of moving away. During the day, he organized the cavalry to assemble in the opposite direction of the British airfield, and after the British began to draw troops from various strongholds to encircle and pursue them, at night Botha led his men and horses to pass through the gaps in the defensive line of the British army under the cover of night, and ran against the direction of the British army's assembly towards the British airfield.
Due to the short range of the land-based reconnaissance aircraft manufactured by John Niu, they could only make up for this technical deficiency by a single aircraft patrolling on a fixed line, which of course inevitably led to the need for more aircraft to support this reconnaissance operation by the British.
With so many planes for frequent takeoffs and landings, the British had to build field airfields on such a scale that their infantry could not defend them effectively.
Due to the lack of troops, or the contempt for the Boers, the field airfield was only surrounded by a layer of barbed wire in some places, which seemed to be more to prevent wild animals from suddenly rushing onto the runway and hinder the normal take-off and landing of aircraft, rather than to defend against Boer attacks.
At night, the British land-based reconnaissance planes returned to the airfield and gathered under large tents, while the Boer cavalry who cut through the barbed wire fence and rushed into the British airfield took to heart Diana's teachings - no matter who just set the planes on fire!
The Boer cavalry who rushed up did not shoot or light their sabers, but only threw kerosene bottles in all directions with their heads in their heads. At this time, the John Bull Air Force, which was still in its infancy, apparently did not have any effective fire management measures in place, and the airport was full of flammable materials - fuel, oil-stained parts, flight cloths for replacement; A kerosene bottle dropped seemingly casually by the Boer cavalry could cause a raging fire in a short time.
After taking stock of the losses at dawn, the British found that they had almost no flying reconnaissance planes. They estimated that it would be a long time before the field airfield was back in operation. You must know that these planes were put together by dozens of small workshops, and no one knows how long it will take for the quartermaster department to make up for these losses.
"The Boers were very efficient, and as soon as we arrived in Johannesburg they burned down the airport of the British. However, as in the history of the original plane, most of the Boer top brass still had illusions about the British, believing that as long as they had hurt the British in the first Boer War, they would soon be able to enter into the peace process. Tian Buzi reported to Zhao Yi on a satellite phone.
"So they still want to go head-to-head with the British? Didn't you inform the Boer authorities about John Bull's delivery of Vickers light tanks to South Africa? Zhao Yi asked.
"Having said that, the fellows hesitated before Botha burned down the British airfield, and the good news came back to the peasants (Boers mean farmers in Dutch) and thought that the British were nothing more than that." Tian Buzi said.
"You better hurry to Pretoria and then go back by Portuguese Mozambique, don't be too close to the war zone, so that the crazy 'director team' and Nima can create a whole area of actual control in South Africa." Zhao Yi finally told the source of his uneasiness.
"Isn't the 'director team' of Dog X no longer playing the stalk of the actual control area? You'll have to let us take a breath before we go. Tian Buzi said.
"This matter can't be delayed, I don't object to you having a party when you get to Mozambique, but now hurry up and keep me away from the war zone!" Zhao Yi rarely used such a strong tone to speak to the traverser.
"Okay, we'll leave when Diana finishes the Boer military conference." Tian Buzi said.
"Damn, why is that girl so full of food to get involved in this kind of meeting?" Zhao Yi shouted like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail.
"Or else? We have finally made a name for ourselves in the Great Song Dynasty Military Advisory Group, and we ran away without attending a military meeting, what is the difference between this Nima and cheating on eating and drinking? Tian Buzi said.
"Don't talk about it, you will leave as soon as she disperses." Zhao Yi said.
However, it turned out that Mr. Zhao was still the No. 1 crow's mouth in the crowd, and he himself was afraid of his own open mouth, so he held back his inner worries for a long time and didn't want to talk about it; Just half an hour after the end of the call between him and Tian Buzi, the mobile phone that crossed everyone's hands received a text message from the "director team".
After 24 hours, supplies will be sent to the Green Paint Zone, where 150 combatants will be reinforced, and randomly teleported to your actual control area. Signed director's team.
The above is all the content of the "director team" text message, after experiencing the two random transmissions in Shandong and the South China Sea without warning, the traversers finally saw the words "actual control area" that made them gnash their teeth.
"Is it that the director of this season has changed back to the first season of the dog X, why is Nima playing the actual control zone again?" Feng Yunyi said.
"Liaodong? Hainan? Or Shandong? Although Shandong is a little chaotic, but the people are cowardly, it shouldn't be a big problem to get people back, right? Nanhai, Nadu Nyima is about to become our own bathtub, I'm still afraid that he won't be able to do it? Chopper said optimistically.
"Hehe, first fooled us into losing three people to South Africa, and then opened a communication satellite for you, I can guess with my toes that Dog X's 'director team' is going to Africa!" Hao Dajian said.
"The question is, where do they control it? Some hostel in Johannesburg? The concept of the so-called actual control of the 'director team' has always been very vague! Huang Xiaolei said.
"Let the 38th Task Force enter the first level of combat readiness, suspend the acceptance of refugees on the Shandong side, and inform BB63 to mark out the warning waters and no ships that do not belong to us will not be allowed to pass." Zhao Yi no longer wants to be entangled in the scope of the actual control area of the "director team".
"And all the personnel who have participated in the sonar training immediately board the ship, be careful of that submarine, don't make a mess of being intimidated by your own people again!" Zhao Yi was very worried that the "director team" would take advantage of the chaos and come up with a trick of the "North American Mustang" being mistakenly hit by the "Beech" air defense missile.
