It was only after Lieutenant Colonel Madison returned to the railroad position closest to the airport that he was informed by the British army's so-called intelligence services that the Boers had just been given a 120 mm German-made Krupp howitzer, but no matter how much Lieutenant Colonel Madison gambled and swore that the shelling he had suffered was definitely comparable to that of naval guns, no one paid enough attention to his report.

The 120 mm howitzer was already the limit of what the Boers could do with in the eyes of the British.

And the shelling mentioned in Lieutenant Colonel Madison's report is comparable to the bombardment of coastal defense heavy artillery, even if the Germans or the Great Song really sold such equipment to the Boers, then how did the Boers transport this equipment near the airport? Coastal defense heavy artillery is not an infantry gun, you can pull it away with two wheels!

Soon Lieutenant Colonel Madison's superiors made a judgment that his negligence in patrolling and reconnaissance led to the Boers erecting the German Krupp 120mm howitzer near the airfield. After the failure of the defense, and despite the knowledge that the enemy had planted a large number of mines and explosives, Lieutenant Colonel Madison was inescapable of taking responsibility for the loss of the airfield and the casualties of a large number of British soldiers.

However, the fact is that Madison was indeed bombed by German-made howitzers, but it was not born by the Krupp company at all, and when this gun was born, the Krupp company was no longer mainly engaged in the production of arms.

Moreover, the visual effect and lethality of the 155 mm/52 x diameter gun bombardment produced by Rheinmetall are indeed no less tragic than the tragic scene of being bombarded by heavy coastal defense guns in this era.

Lieutenant Colonel Madison, who felt that he had been wronged by Dou E, was dismissed on the spot, and another unlucky man took Madison's place, taking the rest of his regiment and another monkey version of the "Vickers" tank loaded with a 37mm rapid-fire gun, and swooped down on the airfield.

Of course, this time the British army did not dare to hold on to it, although the generals at the top were convinced that Lieutenant Colonel Madison had exaggerated the Boers' combat strength in order to cover up his mistakes in command, but as long as there was a place where the Great Song people were involved, it would be good to pay more attention, so the British army mobilized about a regiment of troops from other strongholds to rush to the airfield.

This is already a good reflection of the importance that the British military in South Africa attaches to this airport, you must know that in the history of the original time and space, except for the Battle of Ladysmith City, which broke the British eggs, the other battles were basically about 1,000 people or less, and it was only a little larger than the legendary township-level brawl

The British army, which could quickly maneuver along the railway, quickly completed its assembly, and Tempoz, who could only ride around, had not yet seen the elusive Louis Botha!

"Hey, Boss Jiang? The Brits are coming, and we've spotted their scouting unit near Outpost Three. "A rough embryo reported to Jiang Yuan the latest movements of the British army with some kind of communication equipment that should have been modified from a car radio.

Jiangyuan: Due to the lack of transportation that can move quickly, well, such as motorcycles, pickup trucks, and other "high-end goods" that they used to use. Therefore, we had no choice but to carry out reconnaissance on the periphery by sending secret sentries to guard key areas.

"Distributing dry food and drinking water, the British are moving much faster than we thought!" Jiang Yuan said to his deputy.

The so-called dry food is a flatbread made of flour abandoned by the British, and in order to provide more calories, some butter is smeared on top, and the drinking water is cooled and boiled. The self-heating food of the individual soldiers brought by the strawberry soldiers was "uniformly managed". These more nutritious foods were reserved for the wounded soldiers, well, although they were not very nutritious, they were much better than the flatbread.

"Oh, it's not good, the British are really a lot, this Nima is going to empty the rhythm of our 155-gun shell reserve!" Hu Kaili, who was in charge of reconnaissance on the periphery, sent back very unoptimistic information.

"Don't be poor, let the German soldiers next to you report the coordinates of the British army!" Jiang Yuan almost shouted out the three words strawberry soldiers, now that these young masters are not useless, at least they have formal training to guide artillery fire, which is much more reliable than their subordinates who are from picking up rags.

Boom, boom! The strawberry soldier with the DIY walkie-talkie in his hand looked blankly at the two flames that exploded in the shape of the British army, and his face was full of the expression of a dog.

Hey, can you respect me, why didn't you fire before I finished reporting the coordinates? Have you ever considered my feelings?

"We have no other posts in this direction!" Hu Kaili stretched out his hands and told the strawberry soldiers that he had no idea about the embarrassment he encountered.

Boom, in the midst of everyone's stunned attention, another shell fell on the British army in a formation like a fried pot.

“TF？” This time, the strawberry soldier with the microphone directly exploded.

"Juncker's pen was hit three times in a row! Then my question now is, Boss Jiang, what are you asking us to come out to feed mosquitoes? Exercise our willpower? Strawberry Soldier said into the microphone.

"PzH2000 is staying in our position, what did you say about it?" Jiang Yuan was also very confused when he asked the question about the reconnaissance post.

"Uh-huh, three shells that were definitely 155mm high-explosive grenades smashed into the formation of the British. Oh, now it's four! Just as the Strawberry Soldiers were recovering the scene, another shell landed in the formation of the British troops.

This was the vanguard of the British army, about two companies and a platoon of cavalry. In fact, not long ago, in the blind spot of Hu Kaili and the Strawberry Soldiers' dark outpost, the vanguard of the British army and a small group of "suspected" Boer cavalry spotted a brief exchange of fire.

However, the British had recently become accustomed to the Boer trick of luring the enemy into the depths, and they did not pursue these "Boer militias", and after making sure that there was no ambush ahead, they continued to the planned assembly area with their whole group.

However, to the surprise of the British, the accurate shelling soon arrived. The junior officers only now realized that the rumors they had heard privately about Lieutenant Colonel Madison's report were true!

Didn't it be said that the Boers had only one 120-mm German-made Krupp howitzer? The miscellaneous pieces of the intelligence department, you come out, you stand here and feel it, with this intensity of strike, with this density of firepower, how dare you tell me that the Boers are just a 120mm howitzer!?

Just in front of this tragic scene, you just told me that we were set on fire by a coastal defense heavy artillery group, and Lao Tzu believed it!

Hu Kaili found in the telescope that all the British soldiers were lying on the ground, but this countermeasure was almost ineffective for the 155mm heavy artillery, even if the lying position reduced the probability of being hit by fragments, but it was a 155 gun, and the overpressure damage caused by the shock wave caused by the shelling could not be avoided by a simple lying position.

"Yo, this British army is ruined! But I'm curious which god used 155 cannons to kill the group of lobster soldiers on the other side? Hu Kaili said to himself.

"This rate of fire, tsk, and this accurate landing point, the lobster soldiers must not have looked at the yellow calendar when they went out, right? But there must be someone else's observation post over there, and even the retreat is blocked by extended artillery fire, this is the rhythm that is going to be served in a pot! "The location of this outpost is good, and the strawberry soldiers don't need binoculars to see that the British army is harvesting their heads under the follow-up extended shelling.

"The British were bombarded by 155, and it is said that they were still masters!" Jiang Yuan said to Juncker.

"A traverser like us? Why didn't they make a satellite call? If only we had artillery radar, at least we would know where they are. Juncker said.

"Why don't you try to call with your radio station, it's all from time in time, everyone get together to improve the chances of survival!" Jiang Yuan said.
