The Rise of the Empire

"It's over!" When the 1st Bull Cavalry Regiment appeared behind General French, this veteran general who had worked for the British Empire for decades finally ushered in the end of his military career! This battle could not be fought anymore, although he quickly realized that this army was the cavalry that he chased for more than a week, but he did not finally eat it. In terms of number, it was no more than 1,000. \u003c/p\u003eEven in terms of total numbers, the current British army still outnumbers their opponents, but it is a pity that the British army, which is still superior in numbers, can't fight anymore! French and George's British troops combined have about 7,200 people. In order to break through the line of defense in front of them, the British have thrown more than 700 people in, and there are still 2,000 people trapped in it. They can't get in or come out! \u003c/p\u003e Colonel George's position was raided, and there may be some people still resisting, but it can be regarded as being wiped out by the establishment. This army has about 1,500 people, and these two items alone have lost 4,200 people! Adding in the 800 people taken away by Vinylon, that is 5,000 people, that is to say, there are 2,200 people beside French! But what are these 2,200 people? Logistics personnel, dying patients tortured by long-distance raids and diseases, command staff, and soldiers who have just rotated and have not had time to rest. \u003c/p\u003eHe knew that there were only 1,000 people on the other side, but his subordinates didn't know it! After long-distance raids and repeated battles, these people's mental and physical strength have reached their limits. The opponent's attack route is well chosen, but my side lacks machine gun firepower and no cover. How can I stop it? \u003c/p\u003eBut even so, French still did not give up his last hope. He ordered the cavalry who could charge at the end to prepare to attack. If the opponent charged directly at his main formation, then his cavalry would still have a chance to launch from the flank Outflank, go for a gamble! \u003c/p\u003eBut it is a pity that this cavalry did not give French a chance. Velen's cavalry was surrounded and attacked by the superior Boers. The cavalry who lost their speed faced several times the infantry. And the sudden appearance of the Boer cavalry in the rear made the morale of the British extremely low, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. If there is no accident, this army will either be tortured to death or forced to withdraw from the battlefield. These 800 people are also considered It's useless, and there is no need to think about the subsequent battles. \u003c/p\u003ePaul decided to use the best tactic of the Boer cavalry - dismount and fight! After his cavalry arrived on the battlefield, the troops dismounted uniformly, and then began to assume machine guns and grenades, gradually approaching the British army on the opposite side, and tried to establish contact with Caliput. \u003c/p\u003eDuring this time, the British cavalry tried to break through Paul's line, but under the fire of machine guns, grenades and semi-automatic rifles, the British were forced to retreat after dropping more than 100 people. At this time, Cary Put also finally expelled Villen's cavalry, the two Boer armies established contact, and then formed a siege of French. Now the British general has completely failed. His army lacks heavy artillery and is exhausted. Sandwiched between three Boer troops. Problems in the rear directly affected the front attack. \u003c/p\u003eWhen the sound of intensive firefights sounded in the rear, the attacking British army finally collapsed. Many British troops even chose to surrender directly, throwing away everything that could be used as a weapon in their hands, and squatting on the ground to pray for forgiveness , and most of the remaining people fell into confusion. They tried to escape from the battlefield, but they were knocked down one by one by the bullets behind them. \u003c/p\u003e"Everyone evacuates, run out before the opponent has closed the encirclement, count as much as you can run! Follow your officers and return to our control area." After finishing speaking, French gave the order to break out of the siege, and he himself Then he used a bullet to end his own life. Someone must be responsible for this defeat. French chose to use his life to resist all the guilt! \u003c/p\u003e"We won,

In the end, no more than 1,500 British people ran out! They are exhausted, without supplies, without weapons, and like frightened birds, there is no one in the entire area north of Hanover to stop us. "Looking at the devastated battlefield, and seeing groups of British people gathered together and squatting together under the threat of guards, Pershing said triumphantly.\u003c/p\u003e "We killed more than 5,000 British and British soldiers in World War I." Their servants, and President Kruger's frontal victory will be even greater. Tens of thousands of British troops will eventually escape no more than 5,000 people. After this war, the British will carefully consider our opinions. "The representative of the Boers, Will Jon, is more optimistic.\u003c/p\u003eThe actual situation is indeed the case. The frontal 20,000 British troops, 5,000 Australian troops and 15,000 Indian troops have indeed been defeated. The process of losing It was very dramatic. After the news that the British logistics had been cut off spread to the frontal battlefield, the British were ready to retreat, taking advantage of the relative abundance of supplies, to trade space for time.\u003c/p\u003e This tactic itself That's right, but there were some problems during the implementation. At the northernmost end of the front line, a large loophole appeared in the middle when the troops were withdrawing. The first line of defense was pierced. It was no big deal to wear it under normal circumstances, but the Boers suddenly discovered that if they pulled the artillery to the front line, they could use heavy howitzers to attack the 21 kilometers northeast of Bloemfontein. The waterworks.......\u003c/p\u003eThis is really a natural disaster! The British army who made a mistake in their haste and evacuated in a hurry ignored the more important supplies than food - water, people can go without food for seven days, you Try without drinking water for three days! After the waterworks were taken down by 150mm howitzers, the British collapsed faster than their own imagination and the Boers’ imagination!\u003c/p\u003eWithout enough fresh water, the horses collapsed first , and then the troops, the British withdrew decisively with enough ammunition. The Boers didn’t react at first, and only found out after the British had walked for half a day. Then, the Boers who attacked on the front line used their own The advantage of maneuvering began to attack the scattered and evacuated British troops. Although the final result did not annihilate 35,000 British troops and servants as Wiljon imagined, the number of British troops that finally ran out reached 13,000, almost all of the Indian army. They all became captives of the Boers, and the loss of the British army reached more than 10,000!\u003c/p\u003eSince the end of the Napoleonic era, the British have never paid such a heavy price in a single battle! Completely Failure, a complete failure, and it was the Boers who caused all this! A group of Boers who in the eyes of the British are no different from the African natives! The British were still mocking the American navy for nothing a few months ago, And now, the British suddenly find that their army is also weak to a certain extent!\u003c/p\u003e Thanks to book friends sc-vx, 1st Guards Tank Brigade, Belisarius, Bismarck in the Ice Sea, Lost Song of War, Holy Kill , Leaving the ground as the king, slowly traveling k and other book friends' \u003c/a\u003e~~~!!Yesterday\u003c/a\u003e has passed 1k, and today will naturally change three times.
