“Let it go!”

Bang…Bang…Bang…

“The second row is ready!”

……< br>


an hour ago.

Lake Malawi, Karonga.

The sixth team had a fierce exchange of fire with the locals when they first arrived here. Because they were traveling on the same road, the sixth team and the fifth team separated in Mbeya and headed south.

The "Leta" tribe here is larger, with thousands of people, in the northwest of Lake Malawi.

The arrival of the sixth team instantly aroused the vigilance of the "Leta" tribe. As the overlord of the region, the Leta tribe was invincible in the Karonga region.

Its leader Haru is a very accomplished chief. Since he took office, he has started the great cause of conquering the Karonga region.

Those small tribes with hundreds or more than a dozen people are no match for the Laita tribe with hundreds of warriors.

Just when Haru was feeling complacent and was invincible in spying on the world, the arrival of the sixth team gave him a chance.

A Portuguese expedition once came here and was wiped out by the Leta tribe. The Portuguese did not take any action because explorers were a high-risk profession in this era. They believed that the explorer might have strayed into the mountains or had already died. Into the belly of the beast.

So the Laita tribe, which had experienced "experience", did not take this team of only a few hundred people seriously.

After receiving reports from the affiliated tribes, Haru decided to lead the expedition himself. Warriors from all tribes were summoned. After being baptized with holy water by the high priest, the Leta tribe army set off.

They blocked the path of the sixth team on the shores of Lake Malawi, and the two sides began to confront each other. Haru led the Leta tribe warriors to observe the strength of the sixth team on the opposite side.

The clothes of the sixth team are all made of cotton, which is a rarity in the Karonga textile industry. The price is comparable to gold. The Karonga tribe can only buy a very small amount by trading with tribes in Zimbabwe.

So in Haru's eyes, the sixth team is prey. As for the flintlock equipped by the sixth team, Haru directly considers it to be a special "spear".

Haru has never seen a flintlock gun. The Portuguese who were killed by the tribe did carry a pistol with them, but there was no pistol with bullets. Haru struggled for a long time without studying it, and finally he was hung up as a trophy. In Haru's "Royal Palace".

Haru blew the horn, and the Laita tribe rushed over with "Wow, oooo..." Haru took the lead, holding a spear in his hand, and attacked the sixth team:

Haru's spear is made of Made from the unfortunate Portuguese's pocket knife, it was wrapped with a rope around a pole, and Haru carefully polished the spear's blade every day.

Halu, holding the "artifact" in his hand, thought he was safe, but the group of fools on the opposite side lined up in a row and held the "spear" flat in their hands.

Haru has never seen anyone use a "spear" like this before. His own spear is sharp and long. The "idiot" on the opposite side didn't even have a blade in front of the "spear". It was short, just a strange-looking stick, one inch longer and one inch stronger. Haru wanted to teach these savages who "didn't even understand" weapons.

The pigs of the Laita tribe are advancing rapidly. In the eyes of the Laita warriors, it is an opportunity to make a little fortune, and they rush to kill them for the sake of war glory.

...

The commander of the sixth team, Yuri, was stunned! This was the first time he had seen such an arrogant and domineering native. Who gave him the courage to launch a head-on confrontation with a modern army with such a small number of people and such primitive weapons?

If these natives rely on the terrain, mountains and forests to fight guerrillas on their own, it will definitely be a headache. If there are twice as many people who dare to attack directly, Yuri will not feel the pressure.

Yuri calmly commanded the sixth team and was ready to aim the guns at these natives. Although the training time was short, the team members could still line up the flintlocks in a row and divide them into three groups based on their feeling. , began lining up to be shot.

Bang...bang...bang... Haru was startled by the gunfire, but his past experience made him rush forward instinctively, and he had the courage to fight!

The leaders were still charging forward. Leta boosted the morale of the tribe's warriors. Although he didn't understand what the loud noise was, he still followed the leader Haru.

After the first round of gunfire, because the distance was not close, the natives only wounded a few, but Commander Yuri did not panic at all.

"The second row is ready, the third row is ready, the first row is loading."

"Let it go!"

Bang...bang...bang...

As a burst of smoke rose from the muzzle, the indigenous warrior who rushed forward this time fell to the ground. Haru was also shot and his arm was injured.

But Haru is indeed a reckless man. Even though he was injured, he did not mess up his position. At this time, the morale of the team was already shaken. Haru looked calm and said: "Warriors of the tribe, don't panic, the enemy It’s not far away. As long as we run faster, their weapons will be useless!”

At this moment, Haru has realized that the enemy’s weapons are long-range attacks, but he can no longer hesitate at this moment. As long as you can get close to the enemy, you still have a chance, otherwise you will be defeated like a mountain.

The Laita tribe lived up to the power of the overlords of the Karonga region and did not give up easily even in the face of the enemy's terrifying weapons.

Yuri did not change his expression, looked at the indigenous tribe soldiers who were getting faster and faster, and ordered: "Third row, let go!"

Bang...bang...bang...

This time the results of the battle are more Well, more than twenty natives fell to the ground in response, but Haru once again escaped death by luck, but his soldiers were completely panicked.

After three rounds of gunfire, nearly fifty people lost the ability to fight, and some wanted to escape.

But Yuri didn't give them a chance: "First row, let go!"

"The second row is ready! The others have bayonets on!"

In two consecutive rounds of attacks, the natives lost more than forty people. For the Laita tribe, which only has a few hundred warriors, the only thing left is to run away. .

Before even encountering the enemy, our side lost nearly one-sixth. Although it was not impossible to continue fighting, the comrades beside them fell one by one, which put great pressure on them, and Haru could not suppress it. After the attack, the morale of the army was in chaos, and the entire team was in chaos, looking for a way out.

"Pursue!" Yuri pulled out his saber, held it in his hand, and took the lead in the charge.

The offensive and defensive momentum was different. The Laita tribe, which had no organizational ability, was hunted down by the soldiers of the sixth team. The Chinese soldiers saw the blood and became red-eyed.

At dusk, the war was over, and Yuri began to direct the clearing of the battlefield. The Leta tribe suffered more than 300 casualties and 62 people were captured, including the wounded leader Haru. In the sixth team, during the battle, except for two people who were injured due to the battle, only one person sprained his foot during the pursuit.

There is no doubt that this was a great victory, and the first recorded victory achieved by the newly formed Chinese forces in the East African colonies.

As for the treatment of the Leta tribe, the sixth team took no further action, but chose to drive away. The leaderless Leta tribe fled towards Zimbabwe.

Due to the fighting, the sixth team did not set up a camp in time, so they simply occupied the Leta tribe's village.

Most of the houses in these villages are made of rattan and mud and are one person tall. Only Haru, as the tribal chief, has a slightly larger shack, and the team members can only make do with it for one night. .
