Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Since I joined the army, I have more or less the consciousness of dying in battle deep down in my heart.

When the United States established its servant army, it provided good welfare benefits, such as wartime allowances, paid vacations, and retirement benefits. As president of the United States, this was all it could do.

A real fight is completely different. When servant officers and soldiers join the army, everyone will sign a contract provided by the U.S. Department of War. Although the staff of the War Department explain that all the terms are beneficial to the officers and soldiers, many officers and soldiers of the servant army even

I can't even recognize all the words in the contract, so what it means doesn't all depend on what I say.

Not to mention anything else, in an era when the average salary of Ford Motor workers was five dollars a day, the pension for each servant soldier after he died in battle was only a pitiful US$300, which was roughly equivalent to three months of Ford Motor's monthly salary——

Less than three months, only two months.

Because Ford strictly enforces an eight-hour working day and has two weekends off every month, the gap is quite obvious.

As for why Ford workers can enjoy eight hours and two days off——,

you guess!

!

"Medic, there is a brother here who needs help -" the expeditionary soldiers beside the bomb crater were enthusiastic and did not seem to be afraid of being in the battlefield at all.

This is normal.

If Xiaodao's troops were attacked by tanks and armored vehicles, and supported by artillery and bombers, Xiaodao would be confident and not afraid of the Japanese threat.

This is the current situation.

While the amphibious tanks were clearing the firing range, the bombers of the Southern African Expeditionary Force were also carrying out carpet bombing at Xiangguan. The artillery of the Expeditionary Force on the other side of the strait was also conducting intensive fire strikes at Xiangguan. The intensity of the bombardment was even higher than that of firecrackers.

It is denser, and when the island climbs out of the crater, it seems that the power of the shock wave caused by the shell explosion can be felt.

When the servant army attacks, there is also fire cover.

However, the density of the fire cover is better than nothing, and sometimes friendly forces are accidentally injured, so that the commander of the ground forces will actively ask the artillery unit to reduce the density and frequency of shelling to avoid accidental damage.

The air force and artillery of the Southern African Expeditionary Force are still very professional. The artillery strikes were limited to Xiaguan City, and no artillery shell accidentally hit the starting position of the attacking troops.

The Air Force was more professional. The bomber pilots were not afraid of the Japanese counterattack. They flew over Xiaguan in orderly formation and poured all their bombs into the city. This actually ensured the efficiency of the bombing. The sporadic Japanese air defense positions were very

It was soon completely destroyed by intensive bombing.

The Japanese's air defense capabilities are indeed poor. They have almost no professional anti-aircraft guns and rely more on machine guns to fight bombers.

Strategic bombers carried out intensive bombing of cities at an altitude of several thousand meters, and the threat posed by machine guns was minimal. The few tanks and armored vehicles of the Japanese army were destroyed in bunkers without playing any role, so that the expeditionary force tanks

The shooter was so bored that he used stray dogs as shooting targets.

Before nightfall, the gasoline barrels located at the outermost edge of the attack position were ignited. The biggest role of these gasoline barrels was to serve as a warning. If the Japanese army wanted to launch a counterattack against the expeditionary force at night, their end would be tragic.

Dongdongdongdong——

The sound of the 7mm heavy machine gun is heart-breaking. The expeditionary force shooters are not afraid of wasting bullets. Any trouble will be dealt with first.

Everything——

The mortars were constantly firing flares, combined with the burning gasoline barrels, illuminating the outside of the position as bright as day. Xiaodao followed the expeditionary officers and soldiers and had a dinner in the expeditionary camp.

The servant army's dinner was very simple, with a mouthful of sandy black bread, brown rice that could kill someone, and a carrot for each person as an after-dinner fruit. There was no need to think about midnight snacks.

The expeditionary force’s dinner was extremely sumptuous. Each person had a big bowl of beef stew with potatoes, as much salted duck eggs and coffee as they wanted. The fruit after the meal was actually a mango produced in Nyasaland. The island felt like a mango produced in the Golden State of East India.

It's no different.

"How could it be different? This is a fruit grown in Nyasaland -" Second Lieutenant Howard from Madagascar swore. In fact, he is not a European or a Chinese, but a native of Madagascar.

Madagascar——

How should I put it? The race in this place is very complex and cannot be generalized. Howard himself couldn't tell his own ancestry, so he chose a gender-neutral name.

"Were your troops recruited from Nyasaland?" Kojima's question was a little vague.

Although Southern Africa has become independent, it still retains some British traditions, and many units have distinctive regional characteristics, such as the Edward Armored Division, the Cape Town Infantry Division, etc.

Howard's unit is officially numbered as the 67th Division of the Southern African Expeditionary Force, also known as the Anthelara Infantry Division.

Ancerara is a city in northern Madagascar, which means that most of the soldiers were recruited from Ancerara, hence the name.

Anthelara has nothing to do with Nyasaland, so the island has this question.

"It's not strange. All the southern African expeditionary forces like the mangoes produced in Nyasaland." Howard was very calm. This is just like all Americans who want to have their permanent residence in Washington.

Ahem——

That's what it means, brothers, just understand it, I can't go into details.

"Why?" Xiaodao has poor understanding and did not understand it immediately.

"Although the capital of southern Africa is the Transvaal, in fact all southern Africans hope that they are Nyasaland -" Howard's voice was low, which probably had a lot to do with the fact that he was not Nyasaland.

Nyasaland is (probably) the first region in the world to implement a welfare system.

The small brackets above fully prove the miraculousness of this matter.

Nyasaland is the first region in the world to implement a minimum wage guarantee system of R50.

According to the exchange rate at this time, 50 rand is equivalent to about 70 US dollars. If you still have no idea about this number, continue to scroll up.

Ford workers are paid US$150 a month, which is already one of the highest-paying companies in the world.

In Nyasaland, even cleaning in the most remote towns can earn at least US$70 a month.

This can prove why Howard wishes he was Nyasaland.

"When I have money, I will definitely go to Los Angeles, watch a game between Nyasaland Eagles and Rhodesia United, and walk on the Avenue of Stars where countless celebrities have left their footprints -" Xiaodao also has ideals

, the charm of Nyasaland has been spread to every corner of the world through movies shot in Star City.

"Rhodesia is finished. The best teams in the league now are the Eagles and Kimberley!" Howard laughed. East Indians still don't know as much about southern Africa as Madagascar.

Kimberley and Rhodesia United are both teams sponsored by Stoudemire.

Rhodesia United and the Nyasaland Eagles have been competing for supremacy for more than ten years, but they have never been able to shake the Eagles' dominance. Stoudemire finally lost confidence and started anew.

The result is still a pity. After two years of millions of investments, Kimberly still cannot pose a real threat to the Eagles. This is an iron-clad and smooth player.

"Nonsense, Rhodesian United are the real warriors, and Kimberley is just a product of financial support -" United supporters immediately counterattacked next to them.

Howard wasn't super, so he looked back with the middle finger, and dozens of people who saw this scene laughed.

Xiaodao is really envious of this kind of atmosphere.

The atmosphere within the servant army was very depressing. The officers and soldiers were very little interested in talking, and they rarely made jokes during meals.

The atmosphere here at the Expeditionary Force was too lively. Although there were still rumbles of artillery in the distance, the officers and soldiers in the restaurant were not aware of it. The hands of the aunt who was cooking didn't even shake, and she had a spoon full of potatoes.

Beef stew, directly fill the small island's lunch box.

"The beef is too hard, the potatoes are not rotten enough, and there is too much salt - ah, is this juice made from rotten fruit?" Howard picked and picked, and the island ate it happily.

You can't be too demanding when you're on a battlefield. The floor in the cafeteria hasn't had time to harden yet, and there's sand under your feet.

"I'm going to the logistics later to pick up a new set of clothes. This set of clothes can easily cause misunderstandings." Howard kindly reminded that just now, many expeditionary officers and soldiers were indeed looking at the island with unfriendly eyes.

.

"What should I do with this set of clothes?" Kojima was not yet familiar with the style of the expeditionary force.

"Whatever you want, even if you throw it into the toilet, no one will care." Howard didn't care, the Southern African Expeditionary Force also needed a translator.

After dinner, Xiaodao followed Howard's lead and took an apple, gnawed it and left the restaurant.

The military police on duty at the entrance of the restaurant turned a blind eye. Although food could not be taken out of the restaurant according to regulations, no one took it seriously.

The next morning, Xiaodao had a better understanding of the expeditionary force.

"If your trouser legs are too long, you can go to the military service community to cut them off." Howard laughed when he saw Kojima's appearance.

The Japanese figure has flaws: the waist is too long, the legs are too short, and the body proportions are very uncoordinated, so the standard military uniform looks a bit funny when worn on them.

"It's okay, I feel very good -" Kojima was careful not to cause trouble to the Military Service Society.

At this time, the attacking troops had begun to gather and prepare to attack Xiangguan.

The preparation time is indeed a bit long. The artillery across the strait is shelling Xiangguan non-stop. Since last night, the shelling has not stopped. Calculated at 60 shells per minute, there are tens of thousands of shells this night.

Typed out.

Not to mention the servant army, the Japanese army has never fought such a rich war.

When the shelling started yesterday, there were still sporadic Japanese counterattacks.

Soon the Japanese artillery positions were jointly countered by the expeditionary force's air force and artillery. After repeated carpet bombings, the Japanese army completely lost its ability to counterattack and could only allow the expeditionary force's artillery to do whatever they wanted.

Standing where the island is, there is no complete building as far as the eye can see. Even the trees have been burned into charred wood after repeated bombings, and there are craters everywhere on the ground.

This also had a huge impact on the armored units of the expeditionary force. Second Lieutenant Shen Fu of the 357th Tank Battalion was very angry.

"There's not even a single piece of flat ground, how can we fight?" Shen Fu has a big head, and it's not good to have too much firepower.

The 357th Tank Battalion belongs to the 91st Armored Division. All its equipment is heavy-duty "Lion" tanks, and its terrain requirements are relatively high.

The total combat weight of the "Lion" tank is as high as 60 tons. Not to mention bridges, if the crater on the ground is larger, the "Lion" tank has to go around it.

In order to cover the ground troops' attack, the expeditionary force not only used the division's 120mm artillery, but also used the campaign-level 250 self-propelled artillery. A single shell of this thing weighs several hundred kilograms, and the diameter of the crater created on the ground can be

As high as ten meters, all Allied tanks, including the "Lion", could not get out if they fell in, and had to be towed out by trailers.

"Does this still need to be fought?" Howard complained on the phone. It seemed that Xiaguan had almost been reduced to ruins, and there was not even a living person in the entire city.

The destructive power caused by heavy artillery and incendiary bombs is difficult to describe in words unless you are personally there.

Not to mention the 250mm cannon, the lethality produced by the 120mm cannon has a radius of 50 meters. One shot can cover half of a football field and all wooden buildings within the range will be destroyed.

Incendiary bombs are more powerful. They can burn even steel. They cannot be extinguished when they are splashed. They will die if they touch them.

Last night, the artillery and the air force used tens of thousands of tons of bombs. In the entire Xiaguan, an average building contained at least 500 kilograms of artillery shells or bombs. Just how strong a building can withstand this level of bombing.

Not to mention wooden buildings, even reinforced concrete, or even made entirely of steel, can be remelted for you.

"Of course, this is our job!" Shen Fu did his duty and he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

All southern Africans are looking forward to landing in Japan.

Not only the Chinese, but also the whites took landing in Japan as their highest goal in this world war.

The key lies in the performance of the propaganda department. The Southern African propaganda department is fully mobilized. Regardless of whether it is hatred between the country and the family, or justice and fairness, there is always something suitable for you.

Therefore, it is not a problem that Xiaguan was bombed. There may be Japanese troops hiding in the sewers. These precautions have been emphasized many times in the pre-war preparation meeting before the launch of the campaign.

Then start attacking.

The expeditionary force's infantry-tank coordination has reached a very high level and is almost impeccable.

The heavy tank was like a siege vehicle in the cold weapon era. Although it was not fast enough, it was full of pressure. It rumbled along the street. The accompanying infantry following the tank felt like an earthquake. The ground under their feet was shaking.

shake.

The sewers must be taken care of. Assault rifles and machine guns are not effective at this time, and grenades are not very effective. Incendiary bombs are the big killer.

The Southern African Expeditionary Force has also reached a certain level in playing with incendiary bombs. Not only bombers like to mount incendiary bombs, but infantry also like it.

The purpose of using incendiary bombs is not to cause direct casualties, but to consume all the oxygen in the sewers, so that the people in the sewers will suffocate to death.
