At this time, the lieutenant general stood up and said, "The matter has come to this, and the defeat of our army is decided. No matter how hard we try, there is no hope of victory, and we can't rely on miracles to happen, so let's stop fighting uselessly, and let the boys stop resisting. The days of our British colonization of ******** are over, and so will the era of colonizing Africa. ”

Subsequently, the British troops in all parts of the city stopped resisting one after another and chose to surrender. After surrendering, they did not show their chagrin at the defeat in the war, but the joy of the rest of their lives after the war.

In this way, after a day of hard fighting, the African People's Army finally captured the city of Dodoma, the political center of the British colonialized ********, in the evening. Slowly, the battlefield began to quiet after a day of hustle and bustle. The African People's Army began to count the number of prisoners and treat its own and the wounded of the British troops, and after a day of fighting, the African People's Army lost more than 3,600 wounded, more than 2,900 wounded, and 85 tanks and fighting vehicles. However, according to battlefield statistics, the African People's Army annihilated more than 12,800 enemies. More than 12,000 people were captured. When Jeriola heard that his army had been able to reimburse more than eighty tanks, he was also shocked. kept muttering in his heart: The British are ready to play with their lives, and Jeriola hurriedly ordered: "In the future, when the tank infantry is fighting together, you must pay close attention to the enemy's anti-tank weapons, and use a bazooka to knock them out as soon as you find them." If you find that you can do it, you will never let go of the goal. ”

Afterwards, Geriola ordered the whole army to rest overnight in Dodoma and continue its march north tomorrow during the day.

Soon night fell, and this night was cloudless and there was no moonlight, and the African People's Army (APA) garrison was quiet. Somewhere in the African People's Army garrison, a regiment commander could not sleep. This regimental leader is Kandanya. After serving as a squad leader, Kandanya was promoted step by step to platoon commander, company commander, and battalion commander due to his outstanding performance in the follow-up battles. Finally, it came to the position of the regiment commander.

At this time, his partner, that is, the political commissar, found that he had not rested, so he stepped forward and asked: "It's so late, why don't you rest yet, commander?" ”

Kandanya didn't answer the commissar's question directly, but asked, "Did you notice that the sky was unusually dark tonight?" ”

"yes, what's wrong. Head. The political commissar asked puzzledly:

"You are listening carefully to the surroundings, our army station is surrounded by woods on three sides, Todomacheng to the north, and only a dirt road to the south. Don't you think it's strange that tonight there are animal cries in the east and south, but in the west, which is quiet? Kandanya says:

After the political commissar heard Kandanya's words, he listened carefully and found that the surrounding situation was just as Kandanya said, and he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, but he still asked cautiously uncertainly: "What do you mean?" ”

"Yes, I suspect there is an enemy ambush there. By the time we attacked Dodoma, a British army had already arrived, but the commander of this army was unusually shrewd. He didn't go directly to save Dodoma, but cautiously lurked. Prepare to give us a moment when our defense is lax. They are probably hiding in the woods to the west. Kandanya explained.

After listening to Kan Ya's explanation, the political commissar suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said, "Then what should we do?" ”

At this time, Kandanya got up and said: "Order the mountain artillery battalion directly under the regiment and the mortars attached to each battalion to gather for me and fire at the woods on the west side. ”

This was the political commissar who hurriedly stopped: "Regiment commander, it's not appropriate to do this, it's not good to make such a big formation based on our guesses, and we won't be able to explain to the division commander at that time." ”

"Okay, it's good to be fine, but when it alarms them, I'll go and explain to the division commander and the commander that I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case. Ordered the whole regiment of artillery to be concentrated for me. Get all the incendiary bombs ready for me. ”

Then the political commissar didn't say anything, because he also understood that one thing was to sail the ship carefully, so the two of them agreed on the shelling of the woods on the west side. Soon the entire regiment of soldiers was urgently assembled. Then a mountain cannon and mortar were erected.

At this time, Kandanya looked at his watch and said: "Attention to all gun positions, incendiary bombs - indiscriminate fire from the woods on the west side. Fire. ”

A series of shells of various calibers flew out of the chambers, followed by a violent explosion in the woods on the west side, accompanied by the miserable screams of people. Then the fire spread in the woods. Then the whole forest burst into flames. The miserable screams were even more incessant.

You don't want to talk about Kandanya, but it's really not groundless, at this time, the woods on the west side are almost lurking the main force of a British division. Since the African People's Army had already invaded the city when the army arrived, once they rushed to the rescue, they were going to deliver food, so they quickly lurked in the nearest woods before the rebels found themselves. The British division commander played a good game. Just wait until midnight to launch a raid on the rebels and do their best to kill and wound the enemy. Restrain the rebels' movements. But people are not as good as heaven, and they were seen through by a small commander of the African People's Army. It turned out to be tragic.

At this time, the entire African People's Army garrison was also startled by the sound of violent explosions. All the soldiers picked up their weapons and rushed out of the tent as quickly as possible, when they found that the woods on the west side were burning and mixed with some figures moving.

At this time, as the supreme commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Geriola was also startled by the explosion, and hurriedly dressed and walked out of the headquarters. Hurriedly raised the binoculars and observed. Then he was scared into a cold sweat. But then I secretly rejoiced that I was able to find it in time. Otherwise, the loss will be great.

Just as Jeriola found out about the situation, the fire became more ferocious, and the enemy's ambush army was already surrounded on three sides. The only way out is to run towards the positions of the African People's Army. This is how you can escape from the fire. But seeing the British troops fleeing here, Geriola was angry, and if it wasn't for his subordinate wit, he was afraid that he would suffer a big loss tonight. Later, he found that the British soldiers who were fleeing for their lives gave an order: "Hit Lao Tzu hard, don't save bullets." ”

Accompanied by an order from the British division commander: "We have been tricked, brothers, hurry up and break through!" "The AFPA light machine guns and all the sharpshooters had already opened fire, and the British division commander was the first to be hit and fell to the ground in terror and uneasiness.

Since the fighters received orders from the commander-in-chief and did not have to save bullets, the soldiers of the African People's Army frantically pulled the triggers. Almost bullets and bites, because they don't have to worry about their own safety, the British army has already burned their butts at this time, so they still have the heart to fight back, and it is important to escape. In this way, under the double blow of the fire and the fire of the African People's Army, this British division quickly disappeared.
