"Put!"

Bang... Bang... Bang......

"Second row ready!"

……

An hour ago.

Lake Malawi, Karonga.

The 6th team had a fierce exchange of fire with the locals when they first arrived, and for the same reason, the 6th and 5th teams went south after they separated from Mbeya.

The "Leita" tribe here is larger, numbering in the thousands, in the northwestern part of Lake Malawi.

The arrival of the sixth team instantly aroused the alarm of the "Leita" tribe, as the overlord of the region, the Leita tribe fought all over the Karonga region invincible.

Its leader, Haru, was an accomplished chieftain who began his quest to conquer the Karonga region.

Those small tribes with a size of a hundred, a dozen people are not at all a match for the Leita tribe with hundreds of warriors.

Just when Haru was complacent and spying on the invincible opponents in the world, the arrival of the sixth team gave him a chance.

There was a Portuguese expedition that came to this area and was exterminated by the Leta tribe, but the Portuguese did not do anything, because explorers were a high-risk profession in this era, and they thought that the explorer might have strayed into the mountains or had already fallen into the belly of a wild beast.

So the Leita tribe, who had "seen", did not take this team of only a few hundred people seriously.

After receiving the report from the affiliated tribes, Haru decided to take the lead in his own right, and all the fallen warriors were gathered, and after the baptism of holy water by the high priest, the army of the Laita tribe set out.

They blocked the way of the 6th team on the shore of Lake Malawi, and the two sides began to confront, and Haru led the Leita tribe warriors to observe the strength of the 6th team on the opposite side.

The clothes of the sixth team were all cotton fabrics, which were a rarity in the Karonga textile industry, and the Karonga tribe could only buy very few of them by trading with tribes in the Zimbabwe region.

So in Haru's eyes, the sixth team is the prey, and as for the flintlock pistol equipped by the sixth team, Haru directly considers it a special "spear".

Haru had never seen a flintlock pistol, and the Portuguese who had been killed by the tribe carried a pistol with him, but there was no pistol filled with bullets, and Haru tossed for a long time and did not understand it, and finally hung it as a trophy in Haru's "royal palace".

Haru blew the horn, and the Leita tribe rushed over with a "wow, woo-woo-woo......" mentality, and Haru took the lead, spear in hand, and attacked the sixth team:

Haru's spear was made from that hapless Portuguese's knife, wrapped around the pole with a rope, and Haru carefully sharpened the blade every day.

Haru, who was holding the "artifact" in his hand, thought that he was stable, and the group of fools on the opposite side actually lined up directly in a row and held the "spear" flat in his hand.

Haru had never seen such a spear used, and his spear was both sharp and long. The "fool" on the opposite side did not even have a blade in front of the "spear", it was short, it was a strange-looking stick, an inch long and an inch strong, and Haru wanted to teach these savages who "did not even understand" weapons.

The Leita tribe pig is advancing by leaps and bounds, and in the eyes of the Leita warriors, it is an opportunity to make a small fortune in front of them, and they are scrambling to kill them for the sake of their military achievements.

……

Yuri, the commander of the sixth team, was stunned! It was the first time that such an arrogant and domineering native had ever seen him, who gave him the courage to rely on such a small number of people and hold such primitive weapons to launch a head-to-head confrontation with a modern army.

If these natives rely on the terrain, mountains and forests to fight guerrilla warfare with themselves, it will definitely be a headache, so those who dare to attack directly are coming, and Yuri will not feel pressure.

Yuri calmly commanded the sixth team, ready to aim their guns at the natives, although the training time was short, the team members could still line up the flintlock pistols by feeling, divide them into three groups, and start to line up to shoot.

Bang... Bang... Bang......

Haru was startled by the gunshots, but his past experience made him instinctively rush forward, and his husband had the courage to fight!

The leaders were still charging forward, and Leta boosted the morale of the tribe's warriors, and although she didn't understand what the loud noise was, she followed the leader Haru.

After the first round of gunfire, because the distance was not close, the natives only wounded a few, and Commander Yuri did not panic at all.

"The second row prepares, the third row prepares, and the first row is loaded."

"Put!"

Bang... Bang... Bang......

As a puff of smoke rose from the muzzle of the gun, the indigenous warrior who rushed to the front this time fell to the ground, and Haru was also shot and wounded in the arm.

But Haru is not a reckless man, even if he is wounded, he does not mess up, at this time the team's military spirit has been a little shaken, Haru showed a calm face, and said: "Warriors of the tribe, don't panic, the enemy is not far away, as long as we run faster, their weapons will be useless!" ”

At this moment, Haru has realized that the enemy's weapon is a long-range attack, but at this moment, he can't hesitate, as long as he can get close to the enemy, then there is still a chance, otherwise he can only be defeated.

The Leita tribe did not lose the power of the overlord of the Karonga region, and did not give up lightly even in the face of the enemy's terrifying weapons.

Yuri didn't change his color, looked at the soldiers of the indigenous tribe who were getting faster and faster, and ordered: "Third row, put!" ”

Bang... Bang... Bang......

This time the result was better, and more than twenty natives fell to the ground, but Haru once again escaped with luck, but his soldiers were completely panicked.

Three rounds of gunfire fell, and nearly fifty people lost their ability to fight, and some wanted to flee.

But Yuri did not give them a chance: "First row, put!" ”

"Second row ready! Others on bayonets! ”

In two consecutive rounds of attacks, the natives lost more than forty people, and for the Leita tribe, which had only a few hundred warriors, now only had to run.

Before they met the enemy, their own side lost nearly one-sixth, although it was not that they could not continue to fight, but the comrades next to them fell one by one, giving them great pressure, and Haru couldn't hold it down, the army was in chaos, and the whole team was in chaos, looking for a way out.

"Chase!" Yuri drew his saber and raised it in his hand, leading the charge.

The offensive and defensive situation is also different, and the Laita tribe, which has no organizational ability, is chased and killed by the soldiers of the sixth team, and the Chinese soldiers who see blood are red-eyed.

At dusk, the war was over, and Yuri began to command the clearing of the battlefield, and the Leita tribe suffered more than 300 casualties and 62 prisoners, including the wounded leader Haru. The sixth team, in the battle, except for two who were wounded in the battle, only one person twisted his foot while pursuing.

There was no doubt that this was a resounding victory, and the first recorded victory in the East African colonies by a newly formed Chinese force.

For the disposal of the Leita tribe, the sixth team did not take further action, but chose to drive away, and the leaderless Leita tribe flowed in the direction of Zimbabwe.

Because of the battle, the 6th team did not set up camp in time, so they simply occupied the village of the Leta tribe.

Most of the houses in these villages were made of rattan sticky mud and were one person high, and only Haru, as the tribal chief, had a slightly larger shack, and the team could only stay for one night.
