Chapter Seventy-Five: The Battle of Morogoro (Part II)

However, after being surrounded, these British soldiers tried several times to no avail, and did not choose to surrender, but chose to break through to the west, feeling that the defense of the western front was relatively weak, and they could flee west into Iringa Province through a gap there. However, although the troops on the Western Front were weak, they were much denser in weapons than the British army, and the army on the Southern Front was less than three kilometers away from the blocking position at this time. So the British found in the battle that the defensive positions on the Western Front were becoming more and more difficult to fight.

Eventually, the British found that their firepower was getting stronger and stronger, and only then did they realize that the whole encirclement was getting stronger and stronger. It's getting harder and harder to fight. The British army, after two days of continuous fighting, chose to surrender after a hopeless breakout, K. Peters, who also learned about the situation here, let the front-line commander decide for himself, and the commander chose to surrender very neatly.

Because the British, in order to prevent the African People's Army from crossing the Great Ruaha River north and continuing to attack them north, they plundered all the boats along the Great Ruaha River. The Great Ruaha River is about 1 km wide, and it is obviously impossible for the warriors to swim through it without boats. But when I went to look for a boat, I couldn't find a few boats.

When Li Junhao learned about it, he said very angrily: "You British think that you can sit back and relax if you scrape the boat to the north bank, and I will have no way to cross the Daruaha River north." I'll show you the same. ”

Later, Li Junhao ordered the troops to cut down trees on the south bank to make rafts, use the rafts to carry some agile soldiers, take advantage of the night to cross north, and then seize the dock where the British parked their boats on the north bank, and then let the soldiers sail back to the south bank to load soldiers and go north.

During the day, the African People's Army (APA) was ordered to shell the British blocking positions on the north bank of the Great Ruaha River without much fanfare, and then to cover the operations of the APA logging soldiers. For a time, the positions of the British were patronized by the artillery shells of the African People's Army, and the British soldiers who were bombed hurriedly looked for cover to avoid the incoming shells. Naturally, it is not possible to observe the activities of the African People's Army on the southern front.

Soon the warriors returned with a large amount of pine and cypress. It was soon tied into a sturdy raft. There are not a lot of these rafts, but they are not very few, that is, they can carry the strength of a regiment across the river.

After setting up the raft, the warriors did not rush to cross the river, but were dragged by the raft to the reeds along the river and hidden. Soon night fell, and the British positions on the north shore were in total darkness. It is in stark contrast to the bright lights of the south bank. However, at this time, the position on the south bank also implemented light control to cover the movement of the soldiers crossing the river. Of course, it was not that the British did not have searchlights, the British originally had them, but as soon as they showed up, they were blown up by artillery units.

Soon, one by one, the warriors dragged the raft that had been hidden during the day into the water, got on the raft, and began to paddle towards the north bank. The soldiers paddled the raft and watched towards their destination, beware of accidents, but they were spotted by the British guards about 200 meters from the north bank. For a time, the positions of the British were filled with gunfire. A large number of bullets were fired towards the center of the river.

Under the sudden fire of the British, many soldiers were caught off guard and fell into the river by strafing fire, and their lives were unknown. It was at this moment that the artillery on the south bank struck according to the flare from the British weapons. Soon, the firepower of the British gradually weakened under the suppression of the fire of the African People's Army. The soldiers crossing the river took advantage of this opportunity to speed up their march and board the pier on the north bank.

The soldiers who entered the pier on the north shore saw that the people were shuttle bullets, and immediately hit the British, screaming and falling to the ground to die or screaming on the ground. Seeing this, the remaining British soldiers hurriedly discarded them and chose to retreat. Abandoning the docks, the ships seized by the British fell into the hands of the African People's Army. The British army on the northern front did not want their ships to fall into the hands of the African People's Army. Taking advantage of the unsteady footsteps of the African People's Army, two regiments of soldiers were then assembled to prepare to recapture the ships. A fierce attack followed. However, the attack was quickly repelled by KPA soldiers.

After the battle, KPA fighters quickly drew a battalion of troops and drove nearly 100 boats back to the south bank. The soldiers of the African People's Army (APA), who had been waiting on the south coast for a long time, quickly boarded the ship. In this way, boatloads of soldiers were successfully transported to the south bank. In the end, the more you accumulate, the more you accumulate. After the number of soldiers reached ten thousand. The soldiers quickly launched an attack on the surrounding British positions.

When the British soldiers saw the African People's Army soldiers attacking, they chose wisely to run away, seeing that the other side was chasing very closely. Then throw away the bullet bag and run, if you can't throw away the bullet bag, throw away the gun too. If it doesn't work, then all the pounds, silver dollars, gold and silver products on his body will be lost. I don't believe you poor black devils who continue to chase me if you don't pick it up.

This trick of the British is good for other armies, but this time they used this trick to the wrong target, Li Junhao's soldiers are all born in the Red Police base, and they don't pay much attention to money, otherwise Li Junhao's current government will go bankrupt just by paying these hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is undoubtedly wishful thinking to do other things.

Soon the fighters took control of all the positions on the north bank of the Great Ruaha River, and then the African People's Army engineers built improvised suspended iron bridges as fast as they could, and the African People's Army tank and armoured units and other heavily armed units crossed the Great Ruaha River in turn.

The African People's Army, which had crossed the Great Ruaha River, transformed into a pack of wolves and pounced on their respective combat targets, encountering cities along the way. Everywhere they passed, the British troops fled in despair, completely losing the spirit of resistance.

Soon the African People's Army (APA) was stationed in Morogoro, the capital of Morogoro province. At this time, there were less than 10,000 defenders in Morogoro, but the commander of the garrison was Terrence, an old-fashioned British officer, who believed that the myths of the African People's Army were blown out by those gutless rat officers, and he was strict about the flight of his army. At the same time, he was confident that he would defeat the black troops and give lessons to the British officers who had escaped.

But after the African People's Army General Morogoro saw the tanks and huge artillery pieces, Terrence realized that he was wrong. But by this time it was too late. There is only one way out, and that is surrender. Terrence then ordered his lieutenant to surrender to the African People's Army (APA), and the stubborn British general committed suicide in his office singing the song of God Save the Queen.

The city of Morogoro thus fell into the hands of the African People's Army, which then took two days to liberate the entire province of Morogoro.
