But when McLean was already faintly seeing the walls of Windhoek, he received an urgent telegram from the rear. There is a powerful armed force that has wreaked havoc in the Angolan region and has eliminated many encirclement and suppression forces, while the Chinese Imperial Army has reached the banks of the Kunene River, and they have blocked the patrol route of the Boston River Fleet with mines, and have begun to prepare for a strategic counteroffensive.

After receiving information from the rear, McLean was so frightened that if he lost the Angolan colony because of the attack on Windhoek, he would only be handed over to a military court. Therefore, he left one army to continue the attack on Windhoek, maintaining military pressure on the blocking force, while he himself returned with a large force and headed for the Kunene River, and at the same time he telegraphed the Twentieth Army to assemble at once and build a defensive line along the river, which must block the advance of the Chinese army.

Seeing McLean's troops retreating in a hurry, Ouyang Zhe was quite helpless, he also wanted to catch up and harass the other party all the way, but McLean was so ruthless that he actually left an army to continue to advance, still attacking Windhoek, which made him have to withdraw. Ouyang Zhe knew very well that the group of native soldiers who relied on the Yaman Restoration Army could not compete head-on with the well-trained regular army of Boston, and this situation was also the reason why Walbeck had not allowed his troops to fight regular warfare.

An army without culture is an army without combat effectiveness, and the indigenous soldiers are basically illiterate, and they only have loyalty to Walbeck in their hearts, but they do not know what they are fighting for, and how to fight more efficiently. In the training, it is difficult for these ignorant soldiers to learn more advanced tactical movements and weapon use habits, which causes their strength in regular warfare to be weak, and without the support of the Wehrmacht of a brigade in his hands, it is difficult for Ouyang Zhe to imagine how Brigadier General Baden can hold the defensive line.

Quickly returning to the defensive line under Windhoek City, Ouyang Zhe and his troops recuperated, just waiting for the opponent's attack. Brigadier General Reid was the commander of the 91st Army, and he was very unlucky to be drawn to stay when he drew lots. Faced with no backup, no friendly troops, and no base, Red knew that his army was already in a difficult situation, and if he was not careful, he would be in danger of being wiped out.

Red knew very well that his only chance was to defeat the enemy before the troops ran out of food, and occupy Windhoek, which had a lot of logistics, so that he could hold the city and wait for McLean to come and provide him with reinforcements, so the attack on Windhoek City was urgent.

Two days later, Boston's Ninety-First Army finally reached Windhoek, but they were greeted by heavy artillery bombardment from the Wehrmacht and the Confederate Army, and the Bostonians had already suffered many casualties before they could attack. Red immediately reorganized his troops and launched a full-scale attack, while all artillery opened fire for cover, and a fierce battle ensued between the two sides.

While the battle was taking place under Windhoek, Lieutenant General McLean, who was in a hurry with the Seventh Legion, was marching towards the way he came. Fortunately, they were more familiar with the terrain along the road they had come, and without the snipers in their way, they marched much faster, but McLean's aggrieved mood did not diminish at all.

It was originally a vigorous and vigorous attack, but because of the mistake of Major General Somerville, the opponent hit his own lair, and he ran back and forth with his troops without reaping any benefits.

Although this retreat was really helpless, there was no way, but with such a retreat, McLean's offensive operation was completely ruined, and what worried him even more was that he did not know how much loss Major General Somerville had suffered.

Feeling extremely uneasy, McLean urged the Seventh Legion to advance as fast as they could. With the wooden bridge that had been laid, they quickly crossed the salt marshes of Etosha after leaving the rainforest. After five days, the exhausted Boston army finally arrived on the banks of the Kunene River, but when they arrived, they learned that the Chinese Imperial army had long since left, and their trip was in vain.

Faced with this situation, Vice Admiral McLean simply couldn't cry or laugh, the Boston army defending the opposite bank was afraid of being attacked, and never dared to cross the river to reconnoitre, and even the river fleet could not retreat, as a result, the other party had already left, but they did not know the news at all, so they hurried back.

The Seventh Army, which had returned to the banks of the Kunene River at the speed of a rapid march, was completely exhausted, and Vice Admiral McLean knew very well that if he commanded the troops to attack again, the morale would probably fall to the bottom, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops and rest in the colony for a while, and then talk about the problem of sorties.

Lieutenant General McLean was not too worried about the question of writing this combat report above, in the case of the defeat of the Axis powers everywhere, his small defeat was inconspicuous, so he only said in the combat report that he invaded the southern counties of the Chinese Empire for dozens of kilometers, and was finally forced to retreat because the enemy had too many troops. After the army crossed the river and retreated, McLean did not forget to send Brigadier General Reid an order to withdraw, but he did not know that Brigadier General Reed's 91st Army could no longer be withdrawn.

After discovering that McLean had left behind more than 30,000 troops when he retreated and continued to attack Windhoek, Cheng Guangling gave up his plan to invade the Angolan colony. The battle had to be fought little by little, and he had to eliminate and contain the Axis forces at the lowest cost, so that he could better support other battlefields, so Cheng Guangling decided to contain McLean's troops and make him unable to move.

To suppress McLean, he needed to eliminate his living forces and reduce the number of troops of the Sixteenth Army in Boston to the same or even lower than his own, so his next target was the lonely Ninety-First Army.

After several days of rapid marching, Cheng Guangling's troops reached Windhoek and launched an attack from behind the Ninety-first Army. Brigadier General Rick had just received a telegram from McLean, and before he could give the order to withdraw from the battle, there was a rumbling sound of artillery in the rear of the troops, and dense rockets flew in large areas, blowing up a continuous cloud of smoke and dust on the position of the 91st Army.

Knowing that he had fallen into the encirclement, he immediately ordered his troops to break through to the rear, because that place was close to the rainforest and was the easiest place to get out, and the opposing encirclement force was definitely not as strong as the defending troops, so it should be easier to break through.

Brigadier General Rick could think that third-class General Cheng Guangling, who was the commander of the defense of Southern County, could also think that the closest place to the rainforest was the unit of the 192nd Army under his personal command, which was the strongest force in Southern County, with combat effectiveness and the best equipment.

After the Boston 91st Army launched an attack, it was immediately bombarded by the Wehrmacht from rocket artillery to mortars, although because of the inconvenience of moving in the rainforest, Cheng Guangling's troops did not carry large-caliber artillery, but with such a favorable supplement as rocket artillery, the Boston army was also not pleased, under the intensive shelling, the Boston army suffered heavy casualties, and they had to attack, because retreating was also death.

Behind the stormtroopers, Brigadier General Rhett and the Guards Regiment formed a squad of overseers, and they fielded a large number of machine guns, and if the charging soldiers turned back, they would be greeted by a dense barrage of machine gun bullets. At this time, Brigadier General Red was already desperate, he knew that within a radius of a hundred kilometers, there were no reinforcements from his own side, and if he could not rely on his own strength to break out of the encirclement, there was only one way to die.

Under the threat of death from the Overseers, the Boston Army charged one after another, but the Wehrmacht's firepower was more ferocious than that of the Overseers, and even with their best efforts, they could not get close to the opposing lines. The Boston soldiers could only advance in vain, and one by one they fell on the way to the charge, and the troops of the two regiments were instantly reimbursed, but Brigadier General Red was unmoved, and he mobilized the troops of the two regiments again and launched a new attack.

Seeing the soldiers of the Boston Empire working so hard, Cheng Guangling was a little puzzled, in his consciousness, these guys had never fought so desperately, he immediately observed it with a telescope, and soon he found the problem. Those who stood in a row at the back of the charge, each with a machine gun in their hand, were clearly Overseers. Sure enough, the Boston soldiers were not voluntary, but forced by the Warlords.

"Order the rocket artillery group, cover the area in the rear." Cheng Guangling pointed to the Boston Inspectorate in the distance and gave an order, and the rocket artillery immediately began to adjust the angle.

The soldiers of the Guard Regiment belonging to Brigadier General Red's cronies stood leisurely in the rear, looking at the soldiers who were desperately charging under their guns, they looked very relaxed, after all, they were not the ones who went up to send them to their deaths. The soldiers of the Guard Regiment were chatting with relaxed expressions, and some of them were smoking cigarettes, when a cloud of smoke rose from the rear of the Imperial Chinese Army from the volley of rocket artillery, and soon hundreds of rockets volleyed into the air, completely covering the area where the Guard Regiment stood.

Without any defensive preparation, Brigadier General Red and his guard regiment were covered in a huge explosion of fire, and most of them were blown into a pile of minced meat before they even had time to lie down. When the smoke cleared, the place where more than a thousand people had stood just now had become a pothole, a lifeless place of death, where stumps and broken arms were thrown everywhere, and gun parts could be found everywhere.
