African Entrepreneurship Record
Chapter 389 Change of hands
The Niges were forced to launch a death charge towards the East African positions, holding weapons "made by all nations" and heading directly towards the 111th Division.
"Fire!" Following the order from the frontline commander of the 111th Division, the East African Army took aim and pulled the trigger. "Bang...bang...bang...", interlaced and rhythmic gunshots were fired at the Nigs, and instantly Just fell down.
Because the 111th Division had a good foundation and long-term training, their marksmanship was generally good, which made Nige on the opposite side very unlucky.
The distance of five hundred meters is not too far, but for the Nigs, it is a sad road of no return. However, the marksmanship of the East African soldiers obviously cannot scare them, because although the rifles are terrifying, their deterrent power is not as good as that of the Witkin. Si gave them the machine gun they had shown before the war.
You know, Wiggins personally selected more than 20 slaves to stand in front of the machine gun, allowing the other slaves to see what it means to have flesh and blood flying everywhere in an instant. That scene has almost become a nightmare for the Nigs. Compared to Seventy-Eight, Falling, it is obviously better to have only one more hole in the body. Although it is a dead end, at least a whole body can be left, which should probably reduce the pain of the soul after death.
Even though the Nigs were not afraid of death, no one could break through the firepower network formed by the East African Dreiser rifles. As expected, all the Nigs who joined the charge fell, but there were some who lay on the ground and pretended to be dead. Clear.
"The engineers continue their work, don't worry about anything else!" After destroying the attacking Nigs, the frontline commanders of the East African 111th Division ordered.
Wiggins also saw the result of the battle on the top of the city, and only said: "It's not useful."
However, Wiggins did not choose to continue this meaningless attack. He had scrapped hundreds of Niggers in one round just now. This should have been the treatment of the East African Army, and he was the defensive party.
However, we couldn't do nothing. We still had to scare the East African Army, so Wiggins ordered: "Third Battery, aim an artillery gun at the German position and fire a shot for me!"
The 8-pounder that had been loaded with ammunition fired a round at the East African position. Staring at the frontline soldiers of the 111th Division at the top of the city, when they saw the Boers adjusting the position of the muzzle, they felt that something was wrong. Fortunately, they were by their side. The trench has begun to take shape, so we enter the trench to take shelter.
"Boom...bang..."
A thick plume of smoke from various countries rose behind the soldiers of the 111th Division, and the originally flat ground turned into a huge crater. The East African soldiers in the trench next to the bomb crater were covered in dirt.
"The Boers are using artillery, let's give them a little show!" Chris gritted his teeth and said: "The artillery is ready!"
The 111th Division is equipped with a total of 67 artillery pieces, all of which are 3-pounders. They were also common artillery in European armies in the past. However, Prussia and other countries no longer use them on a large scale. The reason why East Africa continues to use 3-pounders is mainly to facilitate transportation. , only two horses are needed to pull this artillery around.
As the artillery of the 111th Division was dispatched, 67 artillery pieces began to arrange artillery positions at a position of three thousand meters.
Commander of the 111th Division: "Let go!"
"boom……"
In an instant, Wiggins seemed to see more than a dozen firelights flying towards him: "Hidden"
"boom……"
The shells landed on the city walls or on the streets and buildings of Pretoria. There were varying degrees of damage in more than a dozen places, including the city walls.
"Damn! When did the East African Kingdom have so many artillery?" Wiggins cursed after surviving the disaster.
In fact, the 123rd Cavalry Division also has artillery, but Ernst did not let them play. The East African Army's current attack on Pretoria is like a cat teasing a mouse, without using all its strength.
"Commander, are we going to fight back against the Germans?"
Wiggins said sullenly: "Aim the artillery shells at the artillery positions in East Africa!"
So the Pretoria Artillery, which had only five artillery pieces, launched a bombardment with the East African Army Artillery, while Wiggins and the Boers hid in bunkers prepared before the war.
Although the Boer artillery is powerful, the artillery technology in East Africa is higher. East African artillery is often trained, but the Boer artillery rarely uses its own artillery. In addition to being more expensive, the most important thing is that there are few application scenarios. After all, except for East Africa, No army has ever attacked Pretoria, the heart of the Transvaal Republic. The last time these artillery pieces were used was probably a few years ago, and they have been left to eat dust.
The Boer artillery has almost become a display, and is naturally technically inferior to the East African artillery. As the East African artillery continued to adjust, a shell accurately landed near the Boer artillery. With a loud "boom", the thick barrel and its base moved towards The city fell, creating a hole under the city wall.
It's not that the East African artillery is powerful, but that the shoddy project failed to withstand the test. The outward side collapsed, taking the artillery placed on it with it.
This made Wiggins very angry, but what was even more annoying was that the German artillery shells had been used up. After all, they had been used as decorations for several years, so they did not buy more shells. However, when the shells were used up, the East African artillery did not lose even a cent. This is the most infuriating thing.
"Commander, what should we do next?"
"What to do! We can only fight to the death. Let everyone be prepared. From now on, we will not waste a bullet. The bullets are loaded, the bayonets are ready, and all the machine guns are placed in good positions, waiting for the East African Army to reach them. Fight them directly in front of you!" Wiggins said.
The artillery fire in East Africa continued, and Pretoria soon became riddled with holes. Many places in the so-called city wall collapsed, leaving huge gaps, but Wiggins still chose to fight to the end.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of artillery finally stopped. Wiggins was surprised: "Brothers! The East Africans have no more artillery shells!"
But before he could be happy, he discovered that while East Africa was bombarding Pretoria, the East African engineers had unknowingly built the tunnel less than a hundred meters away from the Boer trenches.
"The people on the city wall have set up their machine guns. All the muzzles of their guns are paying attention to the location of the East Africans' tunnels. Cooperate with the brothers in the trenches. As soon as the East Africans show their heads, they will hit me hard!"
So the Boers watched helplessly as the tunnel dug by the East African Engineering Corps got closer and closer to Pretoria, one hundred meters, ninety meters, eighty meters... forty meters.
The Boers thought that the Germans would continue digging until they were close to them, but the East African engineers suddenly stopped and no soil was dug out of the tunnel.
Just when the Boers didn't know what the East Africans wanted to do, the East African engineers were exhausted at this time, and they went back along the tunnel from where they came.
"Commander, the tunnel has been dug!"
"Very good, let the throwers prepare and the artillery prepare to suppress the Boer firepower on the city wall." said Chris, the commander of the 114th Division.
So, when the Boers, who had seen no movement from East Africa for a while, were about to relax their vigilance, something flew from the tunnel towards the trench built by the Boers.
A nig saw a thing with white smoke flying into his pit. What was it? Before I even thought about playing, "bang", I was sent away by a grenade, without any pain.
The Nigs next to them were also heavily injured. It would be better if they died directly. Those who survived were missing arms and legs and had to wait to die.
So after being baptized by the East African grenades, the Boer trenches instantly became a mess. At this time, Nige had completely lost control. They ran out of the trenches in fear and fled in all directions. They did not listen to the Boer commands at all. Even if they fired, it would not help. At this time, the East African artillery began to show its power again, and the East African forward troops also pressed forward. Thousands of Niggs rolled and crawled towards the city of Pretoria and fled towards the city. Even if Wiggins personally fired at the Niggers with a machine gun, To no avail.
"It's over! It's all over!" Wiggins collapsed on the ground. Without Nige as cannon fodder, the Boers could not even think of resisting the East African Army.
Soon, the East African army climbed up the city wall of Pretoria, which was only more than two meters high, and planted the East African lion flag on it.
"Commander! The East Africans are coming! What should we do?"
Wiggins looked around at the young men in front of him and said: "We lost, but it's all my fault. I hurt you. You should run away!"
"Then what are you going to do, Commander!"
"Don't worry about me! Leave quickly." Wiggins pushed them away and said: "I am destined to be a loser, just let me stay here..."
After seeing off the soldiers around him, Wiggins took out his pistol from his pocket, looked at it, and then put it on his chin: "Goodbye! Transvaal."
