"Captain, it's the cavalry of the Boers!" A British soldier said, pointing to the billowing smoke of a large number of cavalry passing by in the distance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"This is supposed to be the cavalry that attacked one of our transport companies near Richmond, right?" Captain Strong picked up the binoculars in his hand and looked at his opponent carefully, and the other side seemed to have spotted him, but this group of cowards did not dare to fight him, and they chose to evacuate!

Just a few days ago, the situation on the entire northern front had changed dramatically, and the Boers had sent a large number of cavalry to harass the rear of the British Empire, mostly in a company of about 100 men, with about 200 horses, equipped with semi-automatic rifles, grenadiers, and possibly a small number of machine guns, such troops were quite lethal to those unprotected oxcart transport teams!

At the same time that Strong spotted the Boer cavalry, another group of Bourchi soldiers was preparing to ambush another British convoy less than 40 kilometers from Strong.

"The size of the British has been determined, cowboys, their convoy has 70 ox carts of all kinds, and 1 company of infantry is responsible for escorting, and together there are about 180 people, 120 of whom are armed, and among them there are said to be veterans from India." A tanned-skinned Boer reported to Hank, an American, the leader of the commando.

"Very good, I'm going to lay down 4 porcupines this time!" Hank waved his finger triumphantly, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

"No, no, it's not good, porcupines are too big and easy to find, I think two porcupines are deployed at the beginning and end, and then put some fleas on the side." The deputy next to him suggested.

"It's okay, we don't have many porcupines left, and it will take about 45 minutes for them to arrive, so we need to hurry up and prepare." Then Hank waved his hand, and a team of sappers began to lay explosive devices under the cover of their comrades, and these things called porcupines and fleas were about to become a nightmare for the British!

Experienced Boer sappers quickly estimated the length of the entire convoy based on the size of the British transporters, two explosive devices called porcupines were deployed at a distance of 400 meters, which was the approximate length of the entire convoy, each porcupine consisted of 8 to 12 trapezoidal explosives, a bit of directional mines to the next generation, the long side of the trapezoidal shape was only sealed from a layer of iron sheets, behind the iron sheets were thousands of preset steel balls, followed by ******* explosives weighing up to 1.5kg, once detonated, Thousands of steel balls will form a metal storm at an angle of 120 degrees, at a distance of 15 to 30 meters!

And the so-called porcupine is to connect these mines in series, and then the trip has to give a huge U-shaped killing surface, when the transport team enters through the gap, the end of all the creatures in the entire queue in the front and back 50 meters is already doomed! The ambush must first hit the head and tail, and it is best to have a few more hits in the middle, but the porcupine is more difficult to arrange, and if the manpower is limited, at most 2 will be arranged during this time, then the remaining infantry will need fleas to solve it, and fleas are the nickname of the thunder produced in Bavaria, these things are used well, and they are also powerful!

"Damn! We were ambushed! Although John was in the middle of the entire formation, the vibration caused by the violent explosion still made him chuckle in his heart, and he could see that the front half of the entire convoy was plunged into thick smoke, and the originally neat queue instantly collapsed a large piece, and countless fragments were thrown into the sky by the explosion.

In a matter of seconds after detonation, the balls tore the British coachmen, soldiers, and livestock to shreds, and countless balls swept through like the scythe of death, wringing everything that stood in its way into a pile of pieces. Countless pieces of minced flesh and bright red blood stained people's vision, and the flames, blood and wreckage made the British feel the malice from hell! And even more terrible than death is the collapse of the spirit, the grumpy animals, the panicked people let all the situations that were originally hopefully saved slide further to the brink of destruction!

However, the colonial troops from India had experienced too much repression and rioting, and their ability to withstand it was naturally much stronger than that of the coachmen who went to the battlefield for the first time, and a company of British troops under the leadership of a junior non-commissioned officer quickly stepped off the land base to prepare for the establishment of defensive positions. When the British soldiers in red clothes crawled with their rifles and prepared to establish a position on the perimeter of the convoy, the "iron eggs" that suddenly bounced up made the British fall into the shadow of death again.

These jumping mines detonate in the air at a height of about 3 meters, and after the explosion, a huge cone-shaped strike range envelops the soldiers below, and this kind of "top-attacking" strike is almost instantaneous or wounded. One by one, the corpses that fell to the ground and were decapitated can fully illustrate the effect of the blow. After just two waves of mine strikes, the British troops of one company escorted had already suffered a third of the casualties, and by British standards, this unit had already lost its combat effectiveness without seeing its opponent!

"Those Britons are still wearing bright military uniforms in Africa, and it's a joke of their lives." Hank said after easily knocking down a British soldier who was still looking for cover with a semi-automatic rifle in his hand. The Boers were experts at guerrilla warfare in the highlands of South Africa, their uniforms were more closely colored than the background, and they used a variety of irregularly shaped blocks of color of different colors to destroy their silhouettes. Some experienced veterans will also apply the sap of some plant grinding to their bodies to further enhance the camouflage effect.

In the firefight that followed the blasting attack, the two sides were also not on the same level! Although the Lee Enfield rifle can suppress the German Mauser, but in the face of the semi-automatic rifle modified from the historical SVT40 rifle, it is a completely one-sided slaughter, at a distance of 200 to 300 meters, the alternate fire of the semi-automatic rifle will nail the remaining British to the ground, a bullet almost flew against the scalp of the British, a little unlucky, a heavy bullet can easily open a hole in their head!

Hank opens the mount of his beloved Type 96 semi-automatic rifle. He gently tossed a handful of dust into the air. "Category 3, northeasterly wind," Hank muttered as he tweaked the 4x telescope from Zeiss slightly. The distant scenery was magnified little by little, and he could even clearly see a British second lieutenant commanding with a revolver 350 meters away.

The crosshairs that heralded death firmly locked the opponent's chest, and after staying for less than 2 seconds, the muzzle of the gun moved up a little more. Hans finally adjusted his breathing and fired decisively at the moment of holding his breath! A 7.92mm bullet flew out at more than twice the speed of sound, and in less than a second, it successfully smashed the distant skull to pieces!
