Dealing with the rebel forces in the colonies, in addition to dividing and disintegrating, is to fight with one hand and one hand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When faced with external pressure, the colonial resistance forces may choose to fight together, but the inherent contradictions between them will not disappear, if the pressure on them is reduced at this time, and then a little provocation from it, the so-called "group" will soon fall apart.

Madagascar is indeed a unified country, yes, but there are many ethnic groups in the country, and there is no one who occupies the absolute majority, even the most populous Imelina, only account for about one-fifth of the total population of Madagascar.

After the temporary camp was built, Huang Li did not rush to expand, but contracted his defense, intensified the construction of the temporary camp, and tried to turn the temporary camp into a permanent fortification, while waiting for reinforcements from the Governor's Palace of Madagascar.

Objectively speaking, the place chosen by Huang Li is still good, the terrain near Manantenina is an alluvial plain, and the river water without any planning has been washed over the years, forming a terrain similar to a swamp in this area, but because of the volcanic rock, the foundation of the temporary camp is still quite stable.

While waiting for support, Huang Li did the work of expanding the area of the temporary camp to about one square kilometer, occupying a complete island-like area, while strengthening the wall and building a bunker, Huang Li ordered the soldiers to burn all the woods and bushes within a kilometer outside the temporary camp, completely clearing the shooting boundary for the machine gun bunkers, as long as those Madagascar natives do not launch an attack on the scale of 100,000 people, Huang Li can guarantee that the temporary camp will be foolproof.

Three days later, a major named Magnum led a force of 120 men from Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, to Manantenina.

Magnum was a standard colonial soldier, although Magnum was French, but even at the most critical time of the world war, Magnum did not return to France to participate in the war, but was comfortable in Madagascar as his "emperor".

After coming to Manan Teynina, Magnum's attitude towards Huang Li and them was not good, as if Magnum's impression of treating the Chinese was still stuck in the Republic of China period, and he didn't understand what kind of behemoth Lan Fang was now.

Then something happened that completely changed Magnum's opinion of Huang Li.

It was the third day after Magnum's arrival in Manantenina.

That morning, Magnum received a report from his men that more than 50,000 natives had gathered around Manantenina, and they showed signs of attacking Manantenina.

The soldiers brought with him by Magnum were all Sakarava, a nation of about 60,000 people in Madagascar, or a little more than seven percent of the total. Among the Malagasy people, the Sakarava people were inclined to accept French colonization, so the French returned to Madagascar under the banner of protecting the Sakarava people.

Of course, with only 120 Sakaravars, it is impossible to rely on them to fight, so their greatest role is scouting, as long as they can detect the movements of the native people of Manantenina, they will be considered to have completed all their tasks.

The day after Magnum arrived in Manantenina, he sent out all the Sakarava people according to Huang Li's request, and these Sakarava people did live up to expectations, and the news they found was very important to Huang Li.

But for Magnum, the news was not so wonderful, after learning the news that 50,000 local natives were going to attack the temporary camp, Magnum immediately approached Huang Li and asked to abandon the temporary camp and withdraw all the staff to the cruise ship that had not yet been withdrawn, in order to escape the siege of the local natives.

"Withdraw? What are you kidding? The Foreign Legion never backs down! Huang Li's answer was categorical.

When Magnum found Huang Li, Huang Li was in the headquarters of the makeshift camp, which was no longer a tent, of course, but a semi-permanent structure of six specially built wooden houses.

Don't look at the fact that there are only six rooms, but although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs, such as the combat command room, the staff headquarters, the conference room, the mailroom, the office, the rest room, and so on.

"It's not a retreat, it's just a strategic shift, we don't have to go head-to-head with these local natives, they don't have much food, it won't take long to withdraw, and then this place will still be ours." Magnum was also resolute, and the reason sounded good.

To be honest, the French are still very romantic, you ask a French man to flirt with a woman, and the French man is absolutely handy; But if a French man is asked to duel people, that's really not what they're good at.

"Strategic transfer is a fart, there has never been such a thing as 'strategic transfer' or 'tactical guidance' in the Foreign Legion, this camp was established by us, so we will never give up here, isn't it 50,000 people? Even if they double, we will not retreat! We have enough bullets to greet them! Huang Li was also short-tempered, and immediately burst into foul language.

Although it is only a temporary camp, there are defensive standards, and if it is against a militia attack that is not equipped with modern weapons, no matter how many people they come, as long as the defenders have enough ammunition, the defenders do not have to withdraw.

It just so happened that when Huang Li and the others came, they did bring enough bullets, and in this temporary camp now, more than 5 million rounds of ammunition and 100,000 shells were stored, as long as those natives dared to attack, Huang Li would give them a lifelong memory.

For many natives, when they attack, it is when their lives are coming to an end.

Huang Li has nothing to be afraid of, almost 30 years ago, about 50 soldiers and four heavy machine guns could defeat 5,000 soldiers who were not equipped with modern weapons, and killed 3,000 of them, now Huang Li's 1200 people are equipped with hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, the configuration of light machine guns has reached the squad level, the configuration of heavy machine guns has reached the company level, and there are as many as 36 mortars to help the battle, if Huang Li has to retreat in this case, then Huang Li might as well jump directly into the sea, lest you go back and suffer the ridicule of your colleagues.

"You're arrogant! That's 50,000 people, not 50,000 stakes, and even if you were to cut them, you would exhaust everyone here to death! Magnum was almost killed by Huang Li.

Fortunately, Magnum still has reason and did not scold Huang Li, otherwise Huang Li would have made Magnum understand what the Foreign Legion is.

"Ha, less than fifty for one person, it can only be regarded as a warm-up." Huang Li doesn't care, for soldiers, killing people is actually easier than cutting down trees.

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense that doesn't make sense, let's arrange how to defend it." Wu Qing came out to play a round, wanting to end the quarrel between Huang Li and Magnum.

"That's not nonsense, that's the fact that we're about to face! Aren't you distressed about this makeshift camp? Listen to me, let's withdraw first, and when we come back, the French government will pay you one, a camp that is better and stronger than this. "Magnum is not heartbroken when he sells his field.

The French are indeed wealthy, which can be seen from Magnum's thinking, but it is this kind of wealth that has led to the continuous decline of the combat effectiveness of the French army, if the French continue to sit like this and eat all day long, then sooner or later, the French will fall from the current altar to the bottom.

"It's not a camp problem, it's honor, it's faith! If we choose to retreat this time, then when we encounter the same problem in the future, our choice will be to retreat, then we will never be able to conquer Madagascar, we don't have much time to waste here, there are more things waiting for us to do, so no matter what we face, we will definitely not choose what Rausch 'strategic shift', defeating all the enemies is our only choice. Wu Qing's expression was serious, and his words and sentences were a little more elegant than Huang Li's, and the meaning was the same.

"How is that possible? That's 50,000 people, do you want to kill them all? Even if you kill all the 50,000 people, can you kill all the Malagasy people? Magnum couldn't keep up with Huang Li and Wu Qing.

"Then kill them all! It doesn't matter if it's 50,000 or 500,000, as long as it's an enemy of the Foreign Legion, we will destroy them, completely destroy! Huang Li was murderous, turned around and walked out of the combat headquarters.

Outside, all the Foreign Legion soldiers were at their posts, the observation posts were watching from the lookouts, they were ringing the alarm bells around them at any time, the machine gunners were sorting out their weapons in the bunkers to make sure all the spare barrels were in combat readiness, more soldiers were busy replenishing their ammunition, and when the time came for the fight, there was no one to resupply them.

1,200 people against 50,000 people, Huang Li said it easily, and he still attached importance to tactics.

Compared with the strength of the enemy, Huang Li attaches more importance to the psychological quality of the soldiers, you must know that even for soldiers, killing one person and killing 50 or even 100 people are two completely different concepts.

The Germans used heavy machine guns in the Battle of the Somme to kill and wound 60,000 British soldiers in one day, but after this day, many German soldiers had psychological problems, they didn't want to touch those heavy machine guns, and they didn't even want to hear the roar of heavy machine guns, and many German soldiers suffered from battlefield syndrome, so although the density of machine guns in the German army did not decrease, after the first day, even if the British organized a larger campaign, the Germans did not get the same results as on the first day.

Huang Li is worried about this, it is indeed important to defeat the siege of the natives, but if it causes resistance among the soldiers, it is also what Huang Li does not want to see.
