Chapter 59: The Battle of Mtwara (3)
Then Cavino, who saw his soldiers withdrawing again, couldn't help but take a breath of cool air in his mouth, and muttered in his heart: "Who are these people, 500 people forcibly carried the attack of more than 10,000 of their own people, killed and wounded more than 8,000 of their own soldiers." Then there was an inexplicable fear in my heart. But I'm afraid to return, I'm afraid that the battle will have to continue.
Then Cavino came to a place hundreds of meters away from the nameless mountain, holding his Western officer's command knife made of various jewelry utensils in both hands, exuding such a majesty from afar, but at this time the majesty was no longer effective, and then Cavino said to an entourage beside him: "Inform the troops to attack again, and if they are defeated again, make another plan." ”
Then all the artillery of the British army was a fierce shelling of the nameless height, and after the shelling was over, the British soldiers walked towards the nameless heights again, and they walked carefully with their rifles towards the African People's Army colony on the hill, and their hearts trembled directly. But they marched to a distance of 500 meters from the rebels, and the other party did not react, and 400 meters was still as silent as death. 300 meters is fine, 200 meters is fine, 100 meters is fine. Finally the British emboldened. By the time they rushed to the position, they found that the position was empty, and the people who were blocking them had long since disappeared.
Later, a British soldier was pleasantly surprised to find a rifle left behind by the enemy underground, and then picked it up and looked at it. But then I was disappointed, and the parts of the entire rifle had been dismantled or destroyed by the other party, and it was no longer usable.
In the rear, Cavino learned that all those who were blocking him had been withdrawn, but the weapons left behind were completely destroyed. Then Cavino ordered the whole army to be marched.
Then the British army did not encounter any decent resistance, nothing more than a road mine bombardment, paid the price of nearly 1,000 casualties to come to the main position of the African People's Army, Cavino observed through the telescope and found that the opponent's defensive position at this time had been built very well, plus it was late at this time and ordered the whole army to rest.
The next day, after nearly 10 o'clock in the morning, the British army assembled in Caicheng to launch an attack on the position of the People's Army, but the British did not launch an artillery attack on the position of the African People's Army before the attack, and launched a direct attack, tens of thousands of British soldiers rushed towards the African People's Army like a raging wave, but the position of the African People's Army was like a levee, and the British attack was like a wave crashing on a dam and splashing countless waves, and finally retreated like the ebb tide of the sea. The whole process lasts less than an hour and a half.
Just when the British army launched an attack outside the city, the British army surrounded by the African People's Army in Nangampa also launched a fierce attack on the African People's Army position that surrounded them, but the British army out of the city was close to more than 10,000 people, and as a result, no one fled back, and was either killed by the other side or chose to surrender.
The subsequent British army never launched a second attack, so the two sides spent a day just abusing each other in English, all kinds of bits and pieces flew all over the sky, but these African blacks were born in the Red Police, and their thoughts were Chinese thoughts, and the Chinese black culture that had been inherited for 5,000 years was also broad and profound, and as a result, the British were scolded and had the heart to commit suicide. My female relatives were greeted N times by each other. The worst of the Cavinos, from the eight generations of his ancestors to the eight generations of his children and grandchildren, were all advanced by these blacks.
At dawn the next day, the red-eyed Cavino ordered the whole army to attack collectively without leaving reserves, so those British soldiers were driven by their commanders to reluctantly think about the other party's position and rush forward, but at this moment, countless large-caliber shells fell from the sky and exploded in the crowd of British attackers, and tanks emerged from the sky and rushed towards the British army.
As soon as Cavino saw this scene, he knew that the troops on the Southern Front had been completely wiped out at the beginning. At this time, the main force of the rebel army on the southern front had already been reinforced. Cavino sat down on the ground and said, "It's over, it's all over." ”
Then Cavino ordered the whole army to break out, how much can you run, but can you run on two legs on four wheels? The result was very simple, that is, the escaped was taken prisoner by the mechanized troops of the African People's Army. This also includes Cavino himself.
Later, when the British defenders of Nangpba saw the situation outside the city, the defenders ordered the city gate to be opened and surrendered, and then the African People's Army stayed in Nangpa for two days, because there were many bodies of fallen soldiers on their side to be buried, wounded soldiers to be treated, and prisoners to be held. In this battle, more than 25,890 British troops were annihilated. More than 45,600 were captured. On Lee Junhao's side, more than 11,200 people were killed and more than 5,400 wounded. It also bankrupted the British's plan to annihilate the eastward advance of the African People's Army.
Although Lee Jun-ho completely annihilated the British army of Cavino, it was inevitable that some fish escaped from the net. After learning the news, the major general of the garrison stationed in the city of Massasi, the capital of Mtwara Province, knew that it would be difficult to hold Massasi with the 8,000 troops in his hands, not to mention that 80% of the more than 8,000 people were black servants. Combat effectiveness is basically equal to zero. In the end, the reluctant major general ordered to abandon all the heavy weapons that could be destroyed, and those that could not be destroyed were buried, and the materials were completely burned. In the end, he led the army to abandon the city and fled. He then fled all the way to Lindi Province, only to escape the total annihilation of the African People's Army.
The African People's Army (APA) then took over the city of Massasi with little difficulty, and after taking over the city of Massasi, the army handed over the administration of Mtewara province to the thousands of political officials who came, and then they launched a vigorous land reform campaign and a census campaign. At this time, the African People's Army (APA) also began the recruitment and formation of a garrison force. Because of this battle, the African People's Army had a large number of wounded soldiers and needed to be arranged. So this garrison is the best place to go.
Subsequently, in accordance with Lee Jun-ho's strategic deployment, Nibron ordered the whole army to continue to march eastward and take the remaining unliberated cities into his own hands. After the last city was captured, Lee Jun-ho's coveted access to the sea was obtained. Later, the African people of Lee Jun Ho started from Rovuma and ended in Mtwara Province in a zigzag formation, stretching for more than 1,000 kilometers. Hundreds of thousands of troops stared at the northern provinces. Let's K. Peters had a hard time sleeping.
