Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

When the British Empire was at its peak, commercial problems were solved through commercial means.

What if it can’t be solved through commercial means?

Then use force with a Bible in one hand and a sharp sword in the other.

The British Empire also wants to do this now, but it is no longer able to do so. If it were India, the British Empire could be tougher. Facing southern Africa, Percival can only consider the overall situation.

It is impossible to ignore the overall situation, and London does not want to affect the relationship between the United Kingdom and southern Africa because of a small Johor.

However, this situation in Johor must not spread, as it would cause Britain to lose the entire Malay Peninsula and further shake up the already precarious colonial empire.

Therefore, the War Department in London sent a stern telegram to Percival, asking Percival to take the initiative, play a greater role in the war against Japan, and safeguard the interests of the British Empire as much as possible.

This order made Parcival very uncomfortable.

In the previous stage of the battle, the British and Indian troops had proved themselves in a difficult position...

However, the local orders had to be carried out. The Indian 6th Division was ordered to go out and left the Lion City on the same day as the 31st Division of Southern Africa.

The 31st Southern African Division had arrived in the Far East in February. After a month of repairs, the 31st Southern African Division was ordered to join the encirclement and suppression of the remaining troops of the Japanese Guards Division and the 18th Division.

Just three days ago, after five days of fierce fighting, the headquarters of Lieutenant General Nishimura Takuma, commander of the Guards Division, in the mountains near Makou was breached. Nishimura Takuma committed suicide by caesarean section before the headquarters was breached. His adjutant helped

Cut off his head.

This battle was jointly carried out by the 5th and 7th East India Divisions. The 19th Southern African Division, which had shown great power in the previous stage of the battle, the 8th Australian Division, and the 6th East India Division had withdrawn to the rear to rest.

Nishimura thought that although he committed suicide, the remaining troops of the Guards Division were still resisting. They actually wanted to surrender, but the southern Africans would not accept it. Before leaving Changi Naval Base, Angel ordered: All Japanese who participated in the war against China

People can be shot without trial.

When this order is executed, all Japanese soldiers who set foot on the land in the Far East will be judged guilty.

Then it developed that all Japanese soldiers were guilty.

It is impossible to distinguish carefully. The Japanese 18th Division in the encirclement and the Fifth Division that had been completely wiped out all participated in the Nanjing Massacre. Each of them is guilty and does not need to be tried.

On the Internet in another time and space, someone asked why the Germans can be forgiven but the Japanese cannot.

Someone answered very well, because the Germans did not directly harm the Chinese, so the Germans can forgive me.

But if you go to Russia or Poland to raise this issue, they will naturally forgive the Japanese, but they will never forgive the Germans.

The two troops left the city at the same time, the contrast was sharp.

The 31st Division of Southern Africa is a force mainly composed of Cape people. This force received complete training in Cape Town for six months before coming to the Far East.

Like other infantry divisions in southern Africa, the 31st Division is nominally an infantry division, but is actually equipped with an armored regiment, tanks, armored vehicles and other vehicles, totaling about 1,500 vehicles.

This configuration is normal. The Southern African army is equipped with too many automatic weapons. It is unrealistic to rely solely on human transportation for logistics transportation. Even if the mules and horses are used, they cannot keep up, so the proportion of cars is very high.

Since the only way to transport ammunition is by car, then the infantry must also be transported by car. Otherwise, if the transport battalion is faster than the main battle force, it will be a big joke.

Fortunately, the roads at Changi Naval Base are smooth and wide, suitable for driving by cars.

The road traffic conditions in the Lion City are much worse than those at Changi Naval Base. The roads are narrow and some sections are in disrepair. This is all the fault of the Straits Settlements.

At least there are roads in the Lion City. There are no decent roads leaving the Lion City. The narrow roads are occupied by the tanks and cars of the 31st Division. The Indian Sixth Division can only give way.

Compared with the Southern African army, the Indian infantry division is a pure infantry division. Only officers and artillerymen are eligible to use the vehicles assisted by Southern Africa, and the infantry marches entirely on two legs.

Looking at the endless variety of vehicles, Scott from Southampton was very depressed. They were all Allied forces, and the gap in equipment was really too big.

When the time came to 1942, the vehicles of the Southern African army were further specialized. Half-ton pickup trucks or two-ton trucks were used to transport infantry, one-ton trailers were used to transport supplies, and heavier four-ton trucks were used to tow heavy artillery.

, the reconnaissance force is also equipped with armored vehicles with certain defensive capabilities, and three-wheeled motorcycles that are small, flexible and easy to use.

The 31st Division has a full strength of 18,000 men, and 1,500 vehicles can be loaded at once, so not a single southern African soldier is on foot.

The road after leaving the Lion City was not hardened, and the car kicked up a lot of dust when it was speeding on the road. Scott wanted to curse, but was stuffed with dirt, and immediately jumped into the field next to him, away from the road.

Scott is British and can rant about the immoral behavior of the auto soldiers in southern Africa.

The Indian soldiers who were surrounded by dust but did not dare to leave the road did not dare to curse. They looked at the southern African soldiers sitting in the car with envy.

"Don't you want to say something?" Scott's expression was very depressed. Compared with southern Africa, the British and Indian troops were simply beggars.

When did the majestic British Empire degenerate to the point it is today?

"I don't want to say it, I want to curse, but I don't know who to curse." William from London is even more depressed. He has a good relationship with Scott. Both of them graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

William is right. The fall of the British Empire is the responsibility of all British people, including William and Scott.

The British military spends tens of millions of pounds a year, most of which is spent on the navy. The air force is scratching its head, and there is very little left for the army.

Even within the British army, the Indian troops are third-line troops. The best-equipped troops are the British troops, and the second-tier troops in Australia and Canada are worse. The Indian troops have the largest number of people, but the worst equipment. It is good to give each person a gun.

.

"I have a premonition that when the war is over, we will lose the Far East." Scott now misses the British Empire in the Victorian era very much.

"We don't need to wait for the end of the war. We have already lost the Far East after the end of the last world war." William dared to face reality. The contrast between the two armies was too stark, so there was no need to flatter himself.

"Well, this is the loss of the British Empire and has nothing to do with us." Scott wants to retire now. There is no need for the Malays to drive him away. Scott will definitely leave the Malay Peninsula after the war.

It is not necessary to return to the UK. Australia is still a Commonwealth country. It is not bad to go to Southern Africa. Compared with the current British Empire, Southern Africa has more prospects.

Too many vehicles is not good either. A half-ton pickup suddenly broke down and the vehicle behind it was too fast to avoid the collision. A soldier on the half-ton pickup suffered a head injury.

The entire convoy stopped immediately. The experienced sergeant on the pickup truck opened the medical bag he carried with him and first stopped the bleeding and then bandaged it.

Valley/span>The equipment of soldiers in southern Africa is indeed very enviable. The sergeant major’s medical bag actually contains painkillers. This stuff is very expensive, but the sergeant major doesn’t feel any pain when using it.

William and Scott had numb expressions. The painkillers used by the British army were also produced in southern Africa, but the quantity was not large. In the British and Indian troops, only officers were qualified to use them.

Moreover, when the injury is serious, minor injuries should be tolerated as long as possible.

As for the Indian soldiers

I won’t talk about it because the method is not very humane.

The injured soldier's injuries looked horrific, but in fact they were not serious. When the sergeant major was bandaging the wound, he was still in the mood to joke with the sergeant major, asking him if this was considered an injury and whether he was eligible to receive a medal.

Southern African soldiers are eligible to receive medals as long as they were wounded during war, whether in combat or not.

"Yes, of course. Congratulations, you are qualified to go to the hospital for rest. There are young girls with hot bodies there, but you have to be careful not to tease those Chinese girls, otherwise they will become very unprofessional when injecting you.

, even the head nurse." The sergeant major is indeed very experienced.

"I have already said that I have a girlfriend and we will get married after the war is over." The injured soldier blushed.

"Come on, Qiao, people are ignoring you. Will they agree if you call them dear?"

"I will definitely do it in my dream. Go back and take a nap. I will have everything in my dream."

"Brother, I will introduce my sister to you later. She is one of the best girls."

The other southern African soldiers laughed at her. The driver of the rear car who was willing to help introduce his sister looked very guilty.

However, judging from his thick body hair and bear-like figure, this gene does not conform to the aesthetics of most southern Africans.

"Brother, you've made a profit. I know Alexander's sister. She weighed more than a hundred pounds when she was 12 years old."

A familiar soldier laughed immediately.

"Shut up Sergey, the girl who chases my sister can wait a kilometer in line." Alexander was furious. Every brother would not allow others to slander his sister.

Even if what Sergey said is true.

The sergeant major was quick with his hands and feet, and quickly bandaged the wound. After washing the blood on his face with water, Alexander's eyes immediately lit up, and he was even more satisfied with this already booked brother-in-law.

Girls have to get married. Instead of marrying a stranger who appears out of nowhere, it is better to choose someone you like.

However, Alexander did not have the chance to continue introducing his sister. An ambulance with a red cross spray-painted on its body and a horn hanging on the roof pulled over. Two strong caregivers jumped out and carried the injured soldier to the vehicle.

Looking at the nurse's figure, which is similar to Alexander's, this hot figure is completely out of place.

The ambulance is also modified from a half-ton pickup truck. This kind of pickup truck has a wide range of uses. It has seats in the compartment and can transport soldiers and load supplies. Many southern African officers also like to use pickup trucks for their work during combat.

car.

The ambulance made a difficult U-turn on the road and drove away in the direction of Changi Naval Base Ullau Laola.

The convoy on the road started moving again. The small episode did not affect the mood of the soldiers, and no one regarded this as a sign of a bad start. The southern African soldiers would vent their anger on the Japanese.

Just as the 31st Division entered the battlefield, officers and soldiers of the 7th East India Division in Gambhir, 200 kilometers away, were fighting the remnants of the 18th Division.

After being surrounded, the Guards Division and the 18th Division did not stay where they were and wait to die. Instead, they tried to escape from the encirclement through various means.

This is not easy. The traffic conditions in the Malay Peninsula are very bad, especially in the inland areas. To escape from the encirclement, you have to fight your way through the jungle. This is more difficult than the Bataan Death March of the US-Philippine coalition.

There are no roads in the jungle, but as more people walk, roads become available.

This is a road paved with the corpses of Japanese soldiers. Every step taken, the Japanese soldiers will pay a heavy price.

Bang

In the jungle, the sound of gunshots will not travel too far and the sound will not be loud. When fired from dozens of steps away, not even a human figure can be seen.

Hand grenades were severely restricted in this environment. If thrown, they might bounce back if hit on a tree branch. When the Japanese army retreated, they would install booby traps. If they were not careful, they would be stepped on. The 7th Division also had a very difficult time fighting.

"Bazooka, bring the rocket launcher over here." Second Lieutenant Li Jiaxin from Borneo was very angry. In order to capture a Japanese machine gun position, Second Lieutenant Li Jiaxin had already killed three of his men.

In order to cover the retreat of the main force, the Japanese 18th Division cut off its tail to survive. The Japanese soldiers left behind to snipe were determined to die and had a strong will to resist.

The equipment level of the 7th East India Division was first-rate. Tanks and armored vehicles were severely restricted in the jungle and could not exert their full combat effectiveness. Instead, rocket launchers and super revolvers were most useful against the Japanese army.

Soldiers carrying rocket launchers opened fire under the cover of general-purpose machine guns.

The rocket flew towards the target with a dazzling tail flame. After the violent explosion, the East Indian soldiers rushed forward before the smoke cleared. Shotguns and pistols were best used at this time. The dizzy Japanese soldiers had not yet woken up.

Killed by random gunfire.

What made Li Jiaxin angry was that a rocket costing as much as 50 rand only killed four Japanese soldiers, which made Li Jiaxin feel drained.

But Li Jiaxin doesn't feel bad.

In the afternoon, the company led by Li Jiaxin passed a village, which had been completely burned by the Japanese army, and all the food had been looted.

When East Indian soldiers conducted a thorough search of the village, they discovered about a hundred corpses in an open field behind the village.

The corpses, regardless of age or gender, were stacked together and were piled more than one meter high on the ground. All the women were naked. They were obviously violated before death, and the death conditions were horrific. The corpses were severely damaged.

Li Jiaxin did not order the body to be buried. This had to be left for the photographers to record.
