Chapter 618 Conscience
“Report to the company commander, we found the target in the northeast corner of Salt Pond Salt Lake!”
“Approximately how many people are they? Did you alert them?”
"The number of people should be about fifty people, a total of five large vehicles, and there are also five Florisbad Village villagers led by Dicken Kaiwen, the youngest son of the mayor of Florisbad Village. They are very defensive. We were lax, so our scouts should have been undetected and are still watching them."
"Very good, Wilson, take your platoon around from the left along the edge of the Salt Pond salt marsh and intercept it. On their back route, Rawls and the second platoon set up an ambush from the direction they came from. I require you to reach the location within twenty minutes and move closer to their area after twenty minutes." Blanca began to distribute combat tasks.
"Yes, Captain!" Wilson and Rawls replied.
Then the two men took their respective troops and headed in two directions. As for the southwest direction, there is Salt Pond Salt Lake. Unless the enemy really wants to escape there, it is very difficult to escape in the harsh environment. It is difficult to survive, so there is no need to send additional troops to defend.
"Valsiano!" Blanca shouted next.
Walshanu responded: "Here, sir, what are your orders?"
"You lead the way now, there may be a battle next, don't you be afraid, if you stay here Okay, no need to force it.”
"Uh, sir, I'd better stay here! After all, I'm familiar with Kevin Di and a few people in the village, so we won't be embarrassed for a while." Varshanu still felt a little guilty, and besides, it might happen Fighting also meant danger. There was no need for him to move forward, as it would be bad if he was accidentally injured.
"That's fine, Christine, you stay to take care of Varshanu and ensure his safety. If there is an emergency, take him to Bloemfontein to report the situation here!" Lanka still plans to find someone to watch Varshanu.
"Don't worry, company commander, I will definitely protect Mr. Varshanu's safety."
"Well, then you two will wait for us here."
Then, Blanca took the remaining people towards the direction of the Orange transport convoy.
At this time, Dicken was chatting with people from the Orange Free Resistance Army, unaware that the danger was approaching.
"Romon, what are you escorting this time?"
"As usual, the main thing is food, but this time we have this!" Romon stretched out his hand and gestured Pointing his gun at him, Romon felt quite reassured about Dickinson. Everyone was on his own. In the past few months, Dickinson had provided convenience when passing near the village of Florisbad.
Di Kaiwen understood and said: "With this batch of materials, the front line will definitely teach the Transvaal people a profound lesson."
"That is, this batch is from Austria-Hungary. I heard that the empire’s goods are new goods drawn directly from the arsenal, and are not comparable to the old antiques we have.”
"Then won't the higher ups provide you with a few?"
"Well, the frontline troops haven't fully used them yet, let alone us logistics personnel, but they will definitely be equipped later, it's nothing more than It’s a matter of time.”
The Orange Free Resistance Army is considered pure grass. Taiwan team, so the organization and liaison are far inferior to the Transvaal Restoration Army. The Transvaal Restoration Army is guided by the British Army, and it is even a team copied according to the British Army template, so in various They had to learn from the British Army, while the Orange Free Resistance Army could only be regarded as an alliance of guerrillas and rural regiments.
The military advisory group in East Africa only provides reference advice to these guerrillas or rural groups. As for helping the Orange people organize any battle tactics, there is no need to think about it, because the Orange people have no A unified organization, but each hilltop huddles together for warmth.
Correspondingly, the East African Military Advisory Group will not care about transportation matters like this. It just reminds the Orange people to pay attention.
However, it is obvious that not everyone takes the good advice to heart, or does not have this awareness at all.
This was the case for Luo Meng, the captain of the convoy escorting the supplies this time. After all, he had been walking this route for several months without any incident, so everyone was even more worried.
Of course, as a paramilitary officer, Romon is relatively safe, but this safety is only when passing through the area controlled by the Transvaal.
Sout Pond is indeed a special place. Because the environment near the Salt Pond salt marsh is relatively harsh, neither the Transvaal nor the Orange people pay much attention to this place. It is the nearest Flo Few people come here from the village of Lisbad.
This further weakened Luo Meng's inner vigilance. In addition, with Dicken, one of his own, in Florisbad Village watching over him, he could get wind of any disturbances in advance.
However, Romon had a little too much trust in Dicken. Romon was a paramilitary member of the Orange Free Resistance Army, and that was also made up. Dicken, who could only be regarded as having a disdain for the Orange Free Resistance, Well-meaning and friendly people. He had not received any formal training and was immature, so he didn't even notice that Varshanu was in the village, and he didn't realize that he was being followed these days.
While the two were talking, Blanca also approached with his troops. A large group of people suddenly appeared, and Romon realized that something was wrong.
"Not good, captain, he's from the Transvaal!"
"Kevin Dickinson, what's going on?" Romon asked.
Di Kaiwen also said quite innocently: "I don't know! But now we should find an opportunity to retreat quickly, right?"
Romon didn't have time to think too much now and began to direct the transport team to retreat.
In order not to alert the enemy, Blanca's people came on foot, so they still had a chance to maneuver around.
When Blanca saw that the white bandit wanted to escape, she naturally would not let go of the credit and escape.
“Pursuit!”
The two sides began to shoot at each other back and forth, but soon, Luo Meng's idea came to nothing.
Because the two platoons sent out by Blanca also arrived, they were going back after all, so the journey took a little longer.
After Blanca's men gathered together, it was no longer something that Romon could handle with dozens of men. With enemies from both sides, he had no choice but to surrender.
As the winner, Blanca walked to the front of the convoy and commanded: "Lift the canvas!"
Then five carts were revealed, revealing bags of sacks. Blanca held them He stabbed the sack with the dagger, then pulled out the dagger, with yellowish-white flour coming out of the blade.
"That's all?"
Faced with Blanca's inquiry, Romon ignored it and just asked resentfully: "How did you discover us?"
"Haha, you Don’t worry, it’s definitely not this guy, but a gangster in their village who discovered it accidentally.” As the winner, Blanca has no need to embarrass his opponent.
Di Kaiwen, who was suspected, was equally unwilling. He gritted his teeth and said: "Who betrayed me in the village, can this officer let me know clearly?"
Bu Ranka shook his head and said: "What you should be concerned about now is not this issue, but the consequences of what you do. You must know that the mayor of Florisbad Village is your father, and you have two elder brothers above you."
Kevin Dicken: "What I do has nothing to do with my family. It is all of my own free will."
"Why?"
"Because we are free and proud Orangemen. !" Dicken said righteously.
"Haha, I hope you will be so tough in the future, but I really won't embarrass you, after all, you are just an ordinary person."
"Sir, I don't know how to call you."
"Blanka."
"Mr. Blanca, you are a conscientious Transvaal."
"Thank you for the compliment, but we do have something wrong, but There are also difficulties in having to do this, after all, you can’t understand the feeling of losing your family.”
