Chapter 17: Guerrilla Warfare Against the British Army (Part II)
After listening to the officer's report, Colonel Teresi gritted his teeth angrily, and he was killed by the other side on the first day of 300 people, and his own army killed 0 enemies. I haven't suffered this kind of loss since I grew so big. At this time, it is getting late, and if you continue to march, I am afraid that the guys in front of you will not know how to greet themselves. So Colonel Tracy ordered the whole army to set up camp and hold together as a group, and wait until dawn tomorrow to make plans.
Just a few kilometers away from the resting places of these British troops, the African People's Army (APA) that had attacked the British was stationed, and the inside of the barracks was in the opposite of the grief of the British barracks, and there was laughter. At this time, Durabo sat in the big tent of the Chinese army and looked at the map.
At this time, a soldier ran in with a rifle and said: "Report to the commander, the British colonial army did not continue to march after dark, but also camped three kilometers away from us and did not advance, of course they were on high alert. ”
After hearing this, Durabo frowned and began to browse the map, and finally Durabo looked at the map and suddenly his eyebrows stretched. He slammed a hammer on the table and said: "Bet, as long as these British troops are eaten here, there will be no British troops in Arusha Province to fight with you in the future." ”
Soon Durabo stood up and said: "Order the army to open up after 10 o'clock tonight, and if we carry out a night attack, I don't believe that the British army can withstand the sudden attack of our army." ”
Soon it was 10 o'clock in the evening, and the entire temporary camp of the African People's Army began to be busy in an intense and orderly manner. Finally, Rabe's leadership disappeared into the night.
After about half an hour of marching, Durabo led the group to the area where the British army was stationed. Durabo held up his binoculars and observed. It was found that the entire British military camp was stationed very closely. The guard posts are also very dense, but those guards are also tossed enough during the day, so they are also drowsy, and there is still any mental vigilance there.
Seeing this situation, Durabo smiled and said: "You put the car so densely, you think Lao Tzu has no artillery, right, let you taste the taste of artillery today." Artillery preparation. ”
Soon the gunners began to set up their guns, one mortar after another was erected, and the main gunner received the shells from the deputy gunner and prepared them for fire.
After the artillery was set up, Durabo said: "You British guys actually think that Lao Tzu has no artillery, right, and dare to put the car so densely, right?" Today, I will make you cry. ”
Later, Du Labo arranged: "Later, you will guard a gate for each of you in the first battalion, one company, two companies, three companies, and two battalions, and when you see the opponent's men rushing out of the barracks, you will shoot at me and nail the opponent inside." The rest of the personnel were given to me as an offensive force to wait for orders. ”
Immediately afterwards, Durabo admonished: "And your artillerymen will give me the shells to smash at the fire point of the opponent's car later, don't care about the shells, I will apply to you when the shells are finished." ”
At this moment, Durabo looked at his watch and said, "Okay, the artillerymen can fire." ”
At this moment all the artillerymen under the command of the artillerymen said: "Units give me attention, target British cars, open fire." After the artillery commander finished speaking, the heavy artillery man sent the shells in his own hands into the chamber. I only heard the sound of "whoosh-" "whoosh-" and "whoosh-" a few cannon shots, followed by a few loud bangs. More than a dozen cars were instantly turned into piles of scrap metal emitting white smoke and flames, and a large number of soldiers were killed and wounded.
At this time, the entire British barracks suddenly exploded into all kinds of chaos, and the officers shouted and cursed constantly, at which time Colonel Tracy came out unorderly and said: "Bastard, what's the matter, who fired the cannon?" The remaining soldiers also began to run out disheveled when they heard the explosion.
At that moment, Durabo pulled out his pistol and said, "Hit me hard." Then he pulled the trigger of the pistol in his hand. The rest of the personnel saw that Rabo had fired, and immediately all kinds of weapons beckoned to the barracks. "Bah, horn, horn, horn" Suddenly, the people in the barracks were knocked down one by one like wheat.
At this time, Colonel Tracy knew that the dish was bad, and he was surrounded by the other party, and the officers on the side were all confused: "What should Colonel Tracy do, it looks like we are surrounded by enemies." What are we going to do? ”
"What should I do, immediately order the soldiers to rush out with weapons for me, otherwise we will all be finished, the military quality of the leader of this gang is not simple." Colonel Teresi says:
Soon a company of men with weapons attempted to rush out, only to find dozens more corpses and soldiers on the ground, and the rest retreated as soon as they saw no hope of breaking through.
At this time, Durabo, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, said: "Just fight like this, and then show your head and make a direct breakthrough." Also always pay attention to the other party's empty car and let the other party show their heads. Those who found the outcrops were immediately killed. ”
"What about Colonel Tracy? The opponent's firepower is too fierce, and we can't rush out at all. A third of the casualties have already been lost. One officer said:
"I know, everyone is looking for cover in the barracks, and I don't believe that the other side can't run out of shells. Remember not to show your head, the opponent's firepower is too fierce and the opponent's marksmanship is not bad. "Colonel Tracy
He did not know that the barracks at this time was already in chaos, and the officers could not find the soldiers, and the soldiers could not find the officers. The scene was chaotic. Wherever people gathered, mortar shells greeted there. The entire barracks was already full of casualties. In addition to the remaining 200 or so British soldiers, they were able to shoot back on their own. The servant army is completely in disarray.
Seeing that it was time, Durabo said, "Rush with me!" After saying that, he rushed forward with a pistol. The crowd also followed and killed.
All the warriors who rushed in opened their bows left and right. All the British troops and servant troops in the barracks were defeated. The British and servant troops tried to rush out of the barracks several times, but they failed.
In the end, the servant army, which was not strong-willed, shouted under great pressure: "Don't fight, we surrender." ”
In the end, under great pressure, the remaining British troops could not stand it. One of the British soldiers was also in a hurry, and with a rifle with a bayonet, he picked up the white pants that he had found out of nowhere, and shouted: "Don't shoot, we just surrender." ”
It was everyone who stopped shooting and shouted: "Throw the weapon out." Come out with your head in your hands, don't slip. Dare to cheat and watch your heads.
After hearing the shout, the British soldiers threw out their weapons, raised their hands above their heads, and walked out of the bunkers. One of the Englishmen, dressed in a colonel's uniform, said: "We have surrendered, and I want to see your Supreme Commander." ”
