Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

There is a question that must be clarified. Even if the scale of a rifle is often seven or eight hundred or one or two thousand, it is actually a bluff. Without a scope and only using a mechanical sight, the sight has already been sighted two hundred meters away.

It is larger than the target. It is meaningless to require accurate shooting at this time. Whether you can hit the target basically depends on the blindness.

Or

Rely on feeling!

What is feeling?

Half of it is confused, and the other half is still confused.

Lee Enfield's ruler has a full range of 1,800 meters. At this distance, let alone a human, an elephant cannot hit it. Under normal circumstances, the attack range of a rifle is only about 100 meters, no matter how far it is, it can't be hit.

It will not exceed 200 meters. If the distance exceeds 200 meters, you will need to use a scope to assist when aiming.

The Lee Enfield rifle equipped by Rock and the others can be regarded as the most advanced rifle in the world. However, Rock and the others are not equipped with a scope. Although the scope has been used since the South American War, it has real practical value.

The sight would not be successfully developed until 1904 by Carl Zeiss of Germany.

In fact, it doesn't matter if they have it or not. Roque and the others don't have it, and the Boer guerrillas don't have it either. From a long distance, Roque and the others can still use heavy machine guns to suppress the Boer guerrillas. The Boer guerrillas don't have heavy machine guns to fight back. This is a complete battle.

asymmetric warfare.

In fact, Rock and other cavalrymen also carry heavy machine guns. Although the heavy machine gun is "heavy", it weighs just over 50 kilograms, and it is not heavy even with four boxes of ammunition. It is very convenient to use horses to transport it, and it is also very simple to assemble.

Six people worked together, and in less than two minutes, the heavy machine gun position was set up.

In fact, it was not necessary. When the heavy machine gun positions on Rock's side were set up, the outflanking troops led by Anton had also detoured back into position. The Boer guerrillas did not put up a stubborn resistance and simply chose to surrender.

It needs to be emphasized that the British prisoner policy during this period was still very relaxed. According to the regulations of the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, any member of the Boer guerrillas who surrendered to the British army only had to swear not to oppose the British army again. The Commander of the Expeditionary Force

The department will treat it leniently.

Of course, a policy is a policy, and execution is another matter. When Rock and Henry set off, August Russell dictated an order from Sir Kitchener, the chief of staff of the expeditionary force. All captured Boer guerrillas would be

Shot on the spot, whether wounded and captured, or voluntarily surrendered.

Note that August Russell "dictated" and did not have an order document, at least Rock and Henry did not see the order document.

So how to deal with these prisoners is still a big problem.

"Locke, we killed 35 Boers, captured 11, and prepared a firing squad of eight. This time we have made great achievements." Henry was very happy, annihilating a total of 46 guerrillas in one go.

Team, it may not be a big deal in the army, but it is very rare for the police.

What's more, before this, the expeditionary force had suffered repeated defeats on the frontal battlefield. As far as Henry knew, this was the first time that an organized effort had been made to annihilate the Boer guerrillas.

"Henry, don't worry, these prisoners cannot die, keeping them is still useful." Rock didn't want to kill the prisoners, these prisoners were still useful.

"Can't die? Have you forgotten what the director said when we set off?" Henry didn't think too much. The leniency policy of the expeditionary force headquarters was for the Boers, and the actual implementation was another matter.

"Never mind what the director said, let me ask you, have you seen the relevant order documents?" Rock would not obey an "oral" order. What if August Russell refuses to admit his debt in the future?

"I didn't see it" Henry looked confused.

"Then just pretend it never happened." Rock is not stupid. What if this is a trap?

Don't think that this kind of thing can't happen. In the late Boer War, a case like this happened. A British captain was cut into pieces by Boer guerrillas, and then the captain's men killed the Boer guerrillas. The process of killing them all.

He also conveniently killed a German priest, which attracted the attention of the Kaiser. The final result was that two colonial officers were shot as scapegoats.

The two colonial officers were Australians, and later the Australians made a movie mocking the sanctimonious British.

Unfortunately, Rock had seen that movie, so Rock would not make this mistake. No matter whether the British would be blamed or not, Rock would not give the British a chance.

"How is that possible? Locke, you have to think clearly, that is the director's order." Henry did not expect that Locke would dare to disobey the order. This is very dangerous. Even if the mission of the expeditionary force headquarters is successfully completed, August will inevitably be killed.

·Russell wears small shoes.

"I didn't say disobedience, I just don't kill them now. Those Boer prisoners will be of great use. Give them to Stanley and let them stay in a conspicuous place, so that we don't have to worry about Boer bombs." Rock's method is a bit

Despicable, but useful.

"What a great idea, Locke, you are really a genius!" Henry was not stupid, and immediately understood what Locke meant.

The main method used by the Boer guerrillas to attack railway lines was to use explosives to blow up the train first, and then launch an attack. Otherwise, the Boer guerrillas would not be able to catch up with the train.

In the past, the train had no choice but to respond passively. Now Rock has placed the Boer prisoners in a conspicuous position on the train. If the Boer guerrillas want to blow up the train, the captured Boer guerrillas will die first. Rock wants to see it.

Let's see if the Boers can be so ruthless.

Soon, the train started again, and this time the speed was much faster, almost 30 kilometers per hour. Although it was still not fast enough, if no accidents occurred, the commando should be able to complete the mission of the expeditionary force headquarters.

Although he has seen the dawn of completing the mission, Rock is not happy. In the battle just now, four Chinese policemen were killed on the spot, and two Chinese policemen were seriously injured. Considering the medical conditions of this era, serious injuries are almost

Judged as death.

There were killed and seriously injured, but no minor injuries. This seemed very unreasonable. After checking the seized weapons and ammunition, Rock discovered that many of the bullets used by the Boers had warheads modified with files to varying degrees. This also meant that

Now, the Boers are using dum bombs on a large scale.

Yes, it is Dum Dum. The name of Dum Dum comes from its place of origin, the British arsenal in the town of Dum Dum near Kolkata, India.

Although the 1899 Hague Convention expressly stipulates that the use of dum bombs on the battlefield is prohibited, it is obvious that the Boers did not comply with this provision. Of course, Rock also believed that the British would definitely not comply.

For the British and the Boers, the Hague Convention

What's that?
