The battle ended quickly, and Lee Joon-ho was not a demon without a penchant for killing, and finally accepted their surrender. But I won't lose my life, but I won't be very comfortable. In particular, the armed personnel in the mining area who have just been rescued are the most aggrieved. When he was rescued, his arms and legs were not relieved and he became a prisoner again. How uncomfortable it was. Soon, these captives were ordered by Li Junhao to be watched and carried by others.

At this time, Du Labo came to Li Junhao and said, "The results of the battle have come out, Commander, let's read it to you." ”

Li Junhao made a gesture of reading one by one, and Durabo took out a document and read it aloud: "In this fierce battle, our army killed 25 British soldiers and captured 36 people, killed 56 Indian servant soldiers and captured 58 people, killed 44 black servant soldiers and captured 68 people. 257 Rienfidel rifles were seized. 7。 7 mm bullets 15700 rounds. 8 Lewis Type 1914 light machine guns. Bullet 7. 7 mm and rifle universal. 14 trucks were seized. Our troops lost three people, 5 were slightly wounded, and there were no seriously wounded. ”

"Hey, there are still casualties." A little lost said:

This is Du Labo on the side, obviously guessed Li Junhao's thoughts in his heart and said: "The commander of the war will inevitably kill people, and we can't stop fighting because there will be casualties. ”

"I understand all the truths you said, but my heart is not happy. Seeing the sacrifice of his own people, I was a little panicked. Lee Jun Ho says:

After hearing this, Durabo was secretly glad that he had followed a good commander, not a tyrant who used the lives of soldiers to accomplish his goals. But he comforted: "Commander, don't be sad, they sacrificed for the independence of a country, and they died a glorious death." ”

Just when Lee Jun-ho was sad that he had lost three soldiers, Frederica, the mayor of the mayor's office in the town of Asab, 20 kilometers away, was even more restless. It had been more than an hour since Ian had been eliminated, but Frederica had not received any information. But he still didn't feel at ease and sent a cavalryman out to find out the news.

After receiving the order of the mayor Frederica, the cavalry rushed out of the town of Assab and rushed towards the 453 mine, and the soldier came to the area one kilometer away from the 453 mine in about ten minutes. At this time, thick smoke and flames were found billowing from the mining area, and it was clear that a battle had just taken place.

Later, the soldier took out the telescope given by the mayor of the town and observed it, and found that at this time, the entire mining area was controlled by an unknown armed gang, and there were a large number of dead soldiers lying around.

After returning to the town, the soldier stumbled to the mayor's office and shouted, "Mayor Frederica, something is wrong, the army led by Captain Ian has been attacked by an unknown group of armed men, and has been completely annihilated by the other side." ”

Mayor Frederica suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the soldier's shout, but he still couldn't believe it was true, and hurriedly asked, "What did you just say, say it again?" ”

The soldier thought that he was too flustered, and the mayor didn't understand, so he quickly sorted out his thoughts, took a deep breath and said: "Report to the mayor, the team led by Captain Ian to the 453 mine area was attacked by unknown armed men, and now it has been completely wiped out, and Captain Ian's life and death are currently unknown." ”

After confirming the news, Frederica sat down in her chair and muttered, "It's over, it's over, it's all over." ”

The soldier was puzzled and said, "What's the end of the mayor?" ”

Frederica looked at the soldier and said, "It's nothing, by the way, how many armed men are there who attacked Captain Ian's team?" ”

"It's hard to say about this subordinate, the subordinate observed it a kilometer away from the 453 mining area, and the number of people who appeared in his eyes was about 120 people, almost a company." The soldier explained:

At this time, Frederica, who was sitting in a chair, said with a blank face: "Remember not to talk nonsense about this news after you go out, especially in front of the servant army, and you asked Lieutenant Elaine to come to my office." ”

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates retire." The soldier hurriedly retreated.

After the soldier went out, Frederica squirted a mouthful of pus and blood directly onto the table. After wiping the blood from her mouth again, Frederica said, "Who the hell are these people?" I'm afraid there are more than that, right? There was no way that a few people could eat Ian's team of nearly three hundred men. ”

Frederica was right to guess that there were more than a hundred people, but the number of people who ate Ian's team didn't exceed a hundred at all, so he had to do it.

Just as Frederica had a headache, a soldier in a British lieutenant's uniform walked into the office and shouted, "Report, Mayor of the Town, you're looking for me." ”

"Yes, Lieutenant Elaine, the door is not closed." Frederica heard Elaine's voice and said:

When Elaine entered the house, he found Mayor Frederica's face pale, and hurriedly said, "Mayor Town, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, I have something to say to you, Ian was attacked by unknown forces when he led the team to the 453 mine, and now the whole army has been wiped out, and Captain Ian's life and death are uncertain." Frederica says:

"Oh, no. When is the news? Lieutenant Elaine said in surprise:

"I just got the message. The news hasn't leaked out yet, but the paper wraps up the fire and will have to be exposed sooner or later. By the way, Lieutenant Elaine, how much defense does the town have right now? Frederica asked:

"Report to the mayor of the town, there are not many people left in the town at the moment, there are about 62 soldiers of the Royal Army and 120 soldiers of the servant army. In terms of weapons, there are two Maxim heavy machine guns, four Lewis Type 1914 light machine guns, and three 80 mortars. That's all. Elaine replied:

"Why is this little bit of defense?" Frederica said in surprise. I secretly regretted in my heart that I had sent out the main force in the town to make people eat cleanly.

Then he said: "Lieutenant Elaine, hurry up and go back to set up defenses, I am afraid that this group of unknown forces will come to attack our town." In addition, I need to report to Kandulu City and ask for reinforcements. We'd be guilty of losing it. Okay, you hurry up and prepare, hard work. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange for people to arm them." With that, Lieutenant Elaine left the room.

After Elaine walked out of the room, Frederica quickly took out a pen and paper and began to write reports and letters for help. After writing it, Frederica didn't bother to check it again and called someone in. After the people came in, Frederica said, "This letter must be delivered to the mayor of Candulu, understand?" ”

"Understood." The messenger took the letter and turned and departed.
