Caught off guard, the Bostonians retreated one after another, and were soon surrounded in a small open space under the mountain, under the heavy bombardment of the Wehrmacht artillery, the Boston Army suffered heavy losses, and all kinds of heavy weapons were bombarded into parts by artillery fire because there was nowhere to hide, and in the face of superior firepower and enemy troops rushing up from all directions, they had to choose to surrender after losing hope of breaking through.

After two days of fighting, more than 80,000 weary and wounded Boston soldiers surrendered to the Wehrmacht and were sent to a prisoner camp in Southshire, where they spent their long prison time.

Of course, the Chinese Empire never kept idlers, and if they wanted to eat, they had to work, so these captives were still busy, because when the Great War broke out, there was a considerable shortage of labor everywhere, especially strong laborers like them who had no human rights and did not need wages, and they were quite popular in any position, especially in high-risk industries such as mining.

After destroying the Third Army, Cheng Guangling did not dare to delay, and they immediately crossed the Gobi Desert and rushed towards the rear of the Bostonians. Due to the recent more and more frequent activities of the Chinese Imperial Air Force, the F84 fighters that are inferior to each other in performance have rarely come out to move, and they have ceded air supremacy to the Chinese Air Force, and the Chinese Air Force is also unable to bomb the Boston people because of the lack of bombers, and the two armies have reached an agreement in the sky and achieved a short period of peace, but in this way, the aerial reconnaissance of the Bostonians had to be canceled.

With no news of aerial reconnaissance, Lieutenant General McLean knew nothing about the fall of the Third Army, and at this moment he was still in the rainforest, playing a game of hide and seek with elusive Wehrmacht snipers. After several fruitless confrontations, Lieutenant General McLean decided to ignore the snipers and continue to advance in a combat state, so that although the march was slower, the casualties were reduced a lot, and they had advanced a considerable distance, according to McLean's calculations, Windhoek was not far away.

Sure enough, three days later, Lieutenant General McLean's party walked out of the rainforest and onto the endless savanna. Here, the soldiers' vision will be wider, and it will be difficult for those snipers who hide in the trees to shoot cold guns to find the opportunity to snipe nearby.

Seeing that the grassland was already in front of him, Lieutenant General McLean let out a long breath, he had already suffered thousands of casualties in the ten days of the rainforest march. "All the troops will march faster, and we will camp again when it is dark." Lieutenant General McLean did not dare to delay too long, and he immediately gave the order for a rapid march.

The soldiers were in a much better mood when they saw that they had walked out of the hot and humid rainforest and into the open and crisp grassland, and even their feet seemed to be much lighter, and the march of the whole regiment quickened a little, and by the time the sun went down, they had already entered the savanna thirty kilometers.

"How's it going?" Lieutenant General McLean stood by the radio and asked the transmitter about the situation.

The telegraph operator shook his head and said, "We still haven't received a report from Major General Somerville, and we haven't been in contact with him for five days." ”

Lieutenant General McLean scratched his head and said, "We can contact the rear, but we can't contact the Third Army, is there something wrong with them?" ”

The telegraph operator smiled: "With our elite Third Legion, who can stop it, I think it is the Chinese Empire that has turned on the electronic jamming equipment near the Third Legion, so they can't receive our orders, and we can't get in touch with them." ”

Lieutenant General McClain nodded, although he didn't quite agree with this statement, but let the Third Army be wiped out in such a short period of time, his feeling was a little incredible, after all, it was an elite army of more than 100,000 people, and the strength of the Chinese Empire in the southern county was only a hundred thousand, how could they quietly eliminate more than 100,000 Boston troops.

In fact, it is true, if it weren't for Cheng Guangling's small troops to attract the attention of Boston, and then surround the other party with heavy troops. Surround the Boston army in a small area, so that they cannot deploy their troops, and then bombard the dense Boston army with heavy artillery, how could Major General Somerville have no choice but to surrender. This kind of force could not be deployed, and it had to endure the heavy fire of the enemy, which was unbearable for any individual, so the defeat of the Third Army was quite humiliating.

McLean's troops rushed forward desperately, unaware that the Third Army on their left flank had been completely annihilated, and that Cheng Guangling's large army was advancing straight into the Kunene River, and their retreat was about to be cut off.

The main force led by Baden had already returned to the vicinity of Windhoek, and they built fortifications, intending to hold them to the death, and to delay the Seventh Army's attack as much as possible. Ouyang Zhe was a little disdainful of Baden's plan, and strict defense was already the tactics of the last war. If it weren't for attracting the attention of the other party, it would not be beneficial to defend it strictly, so Ouyang Zhe planned to take the initiative and give the Bostonian a hard blow.

Leading his troops, Ouyang Zhe moved to the rear of the Boston army. After entering the savanna, the Boston army relaxed its vigilance, not only did the search party no longer send out, but also accelerated the speed of the march, which invisibly lengthened the length of the Boston team, and the whole team was relatively loose.

Looking at the Boston army marching in the distance in the telescope, a smile appeared on the corner of Ouyang Zhe's mouth, this army was already the force behind the entire Boston army, their march was too lazy, and they had already opened a considerable distance from the troops in front. Looking at this force, which had more than 3,000 people, Ouyang Zhe decided to eat them.

After entering a denser meadow, the Bostonians traveled more slowly. The nearby weeds were more than half a meter high, which seriously hindered the movement of the troops, but fortunately, there was a path that the troops in front stepped on, so they would not lose their way, but the troops in front could no longer see their shadows. Therefore, the brigade commander who led the team had to order the troops to speed up their march and strive to rush to the camp before dark, because after dark, it was difficult to distinguish the direction and it was difficult to see the footprints left by the troops in front, and it was easy to get separated from the large army.

Just as the Bostonians were hurrying to their way with their heads down, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from their left, and a dense stream of bullets hit the ranks of the Bostonians, knocking down the unprepared Boston soldiers, and those Boston soldiers who were not hit also lay down on the ground and shot desperately in the direction of the gunshots.

Mortar shells and grenades quickly came in, and the dense explosion caused heavy casualties to the Bostonians who had no fortifications to cover. The automatic rifles equipped by the Imperial Chinese Army have a grenade launcher under the muzzle, which can fire small grenades very conveniently and is quite easy to use.

With more than 2,000 grenade launchers mounted on automatic rifles fired together, and with the assistance of hundreds of mortars, the Bostonians were unlucky, and the dense explosions caused them heavy casualties, and Ouyang Zhe's troops immediately rushed forward with automatic rifles, and the battle was quickly resolved.

Hearing the dense gunfire in the rear, Lieutenant General McLean knew what the rearguard was encountering, and he immediately ordered the two divisions marching at the rear of the line to turn around and surround the enemy troops. For being shot these days, McLean has a belly full of fire, but the other party does not confront him head-on, even if the Seventh Army has a large number of troops, there is a feeling that there is nowhere to go, and now that the other party has finally come to the door, he has decided to completely annihilate this army that is not self-sufficient, and let them know that the Bostonians are not easy to mess with.

Hearing the sound of gunfire behind them gradually thinning out, the Boston army was afraid that the enemy would run away, and they did not care about letting the artillery deploy, and a large group of infantry rushed forward directly with semi-automatic rifles with bayonets on them.

The sound of swishing breaking through the air was heard one after another, and the Bostonians who were charging looked at the sky in astonishment, and they found a group of black dots flying rapidly. The black dots were getting closer and closer, and soon the objects were clearly visible. "It's a cannonball." A Boston soldier screamed, his shouting that threw the charge into flames, and the soldiers lay on the ground to avoid the threat of shells, unaware that they were no ordinary shells.

After eliminating a brigade behind the Boston Temple, Ouyang Zhe immediately ordered the soldiers to assemble the Type 08 rocket launchers. Although this ancient rocket artillery weapon has appeared for a long time, but because of its mobility and flexibility, it is easy to be carried by individual soldiers, so it has been serving in the second-line troops for so many years, this time because of the tight supply of weapons, advanced weapons can not be distributed to the southern county, Cheng Guangling remembered this powerful guy, and they did enhance the firepower of the troops, especially in the rainforest that is not convenient for heavy artillery operations.

Dense rockets fell in the Boston army, blowing up patches of smoke and dust, those Boston soldiers didn't have time to react at all, they were drowned by the violent explosion, and when the smoke cleared, the Boston army of the two divisions had lost at least more than 5,000 people, and the angry commander scolded his mother, but it was useless to be angry, after a rocket artillery salvo, Ouyang Zhe's troops had already disassembled the Type 08 rocket launcher again and left the place.

After a period of time, although the Boston army strengthened its defenses, Ouyang Zhe still effectively eliminated the enemy, they either carried out intensive shooting behind the team, or attacked with rocket artillery on the flank of the team, or planted mines in front of the team, in short, they used various methods to eliminate a large number of Bostonians, which made McLean very headache, but Windhoek was close at hand, he decided to be patient, as long as he captured the city, all the sacrifices were worth it.
