The British army searched the mining area everywhere, there were no dormitories in the mining area, there were no caves in the mining area, and finally found the missing British mining workers and armed men in the empty corridor, but the natives disappeared without a trace. Soon, all the British soldiers were shocked by the appearance of these men, including Captain Ian.

These people had been stranded in the porch for three days, and it was January again. Summer is in January in the Southern Hemisphere. This made these captives miserable, and they were bitten by mosquitoes like the toads. There are small bags all over the body. Everyone shuddered when they saw this tragic scene.

The captives wept as if they had seen their own father and mother when they had rescued the British soldiers, and after weeping, they wished that they would come to rescue them.

After untying them again, Ian took the captured mine manager to his office and began to inquire about the situation: "Tell me how you got captured. ”

"I don't know very well, but three days ago we went to bed early as usual, and left a few servants to keep watch to prevent the miners from escaping. As a result, at twelve o'clock in the night, I felt a sudden panic, and when I opened my eyes, I found that a black man was pinching my nose with his hand, and I was about to reprimand it, but I found that there was another black man next to me with a gun pointed at me, and then the black man who pinched my nose showed his white teeth and said to me, You have been captured. And then I was tied up by them. When I was finally escorted out of my bedroom, I found that the entire mine had been taken from the armed forces, and all of them were squatting in the yard with their backhands tied. ”

Ian then asked, "When was the writing on the walls of this mine painted?" ”

"I don't know the exact time of this time, I guess it was written two days ago yesterday. The level of fighting of this group is not low, it is higher than our armed men, but it is a little worse than the regular army. The mine owner said:

"Oh, yes. How many people are there in the group that attacked you? What about armament? Ian asked again:

"I don't know exactly how many people there are, but there is about a platoon of about thirty people who appear in front of us. The equipment is one rifle and two light machine guns per person, I don't know what the specific model is, but it is very different from the Lee Enfield rifle equipped in our mining area, I am not a soldier, so I can't see the model. The mine owner explained:

"Did you get beaten up by each other during this time?"

"Except for Clifford, who was beaten up with those people, the rest of the people were not beaten, but they gave us a black bread a day, so that we did not have the strength to escape and resist."

"Oh, I know, you go down, eat something and rest, I will avenge this revenge for you." Ian says:

"Yes." After saying that, the mine owner left the office by himself.

Just when the British began to inquire about the situation of the captured people in the mining area, Li Junhao also led everyone to sneak into the grass 1 kilometer away from the mining area again, and Li Junhao observed through the telescope that the British troops who reinforced the mining area had been stationed inside the mining area.

Just when Li Junhao was thinking about what to do, Du Labo came to Li Junhao and said: "Commander, the other party has entered the inside of the mining area, what should we do, do we attack?" ”

Li Junhao shook his hand and said: "No, once we attack, although we can destroy the other party, then our army will suffer heavy casualties." So it is not advisable to storm it. We will not do a battle in which we kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 ourselves. So think long-term. ”

At this time, the commander of the artillery company on the side, Rodney (I couldn't find a suitable African name, so I casually used some foreign names) came to Li Junhao and said: "Commander, the strong attack is not good, then our artillery platoon has 6 mortars, and we will send dozens of shells to the enemy to try it, and when the enemy is in chaos, our army is attacking, and the casualties will be greatly reduced at that time." ”

When Li Junhao heard the words of the artillery platoon commander, he secretly thought in his heart: Yes, how did Lao Tzu leak the killing weapon of artillery. Let them blow up a few laps first. At that time, our troops were attacking, and they were under the cover of artillery and heavy machine guns, and these British troops were not to be worried.

Thinking of this, Li Junhao hurriedly ordered: "Second Lieutenant Rodney, I now order you to quickly build an artillery position, and after the artillery position is completed, wait for my order." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it." Rodney gave Lee Junhao a military salute and went down.

At this time, Lee Jun-ho found through the telescope that there were not many real British soldiers, most of them were Indian Ah San and black servants. At this time, Du Labo said on the side: "Commander, I just observed that the total number of the other side is about three hundred, and the real British native soldiers are only about 60 people in the original mining area, and the rest are all colonial indigenous soldiers. It should be easier to fight later. ”

Li Junhao nodded and got up and came to the artillery position, Li Junhao asked, "How is Ensign Rodney preparing?" ”

"Report to the Commander, ready for your orders." Rodney replied:

"Okay, give me a wave of three rapid fires first." 李俊昊 says:

"Yes." Then Rodney turned to the artillerymen around him and said, "Ready, three rapid fires." …… Fire! ”

"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh", ...... "Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh", ...... The gunners of the six mortars quickly fed the shells into the chambers, while Captain Ian in the British mine was still thinking about how to report the situation. Suddenly, there were bursts of violent explosions, "boom", "boom", "boom".

At this time, the entire mining area was in chaos, and the soldiers were blown up to the sky and fell in an unsuspecting situation, some were directly blown to pieces, and the remaining soldiers hurriedly looked for cover. But there are still people who keep falling.

At this time, Ian hurriedly took out a pistol and rushed out of the room, grabbed a British soldier and asked, "Tell me, what the hell is going on?" ”

At this time, the soldier saw that it was his commander and hurriedly stammered and replied: "Report-report-chief-sir-we-suffered, no-unknown-force-armed-attacked-attacked." ”

"What about our casualties?" Ian asked again:

"I don't know the exact number, but the casualties are certainly not small." The soldier replied

Just when Li Junhao ordered the artillery bombardment, Li Junhao's assault team was once again led by Laborade, and had quietly touched less than 300 meters of Li Yingjun's garrison.

As Ian inquired about the casualties, the commandos launched an onslaught, and the British army was already in a state of confusion, unable to form an effective resistance in the face of close attacks. Soon it was not the wounded of the dead and wounded. The remainder chose to surrender. When Ian saw this, he knew that he had no power to go back. They chose to surrender, and the rest of the resistance also laid down their arms after seeing their superiors surrender.
