"Give me three most elite cavalry regiments, one independent artillery battalion with 12 75mm howitzers, and another 1,000, the most elite scouts and straitors among the Boers, and two transport teams with 100 ox carts. I will destroy more than 60% of the British cavalry deployed in South Africa in Bloemfontein, Hannover, and East London, and completely paralyze the transportation lines in this area!" After some arrangement and deduction, Kariput made his own request.

"Three elite cavalry regiments? According to your country's standards, only two cavalry regiments in our Transvaal Republic can meet your requirements. Are you going to take away all our elite cavalry? The British cavalry are ready to go, and they are likely to bypass the front line and launch an attack on our homeland!" Kruger said in shock.

"And the artillery you want, are you going to maneuver with these artillery? What are you thinking? An artillery company simply transports more than 100 horses, which does not include units that continuously provide supplies to this artillery company! If you want to bring this artillery into the hinterland of the British, then this consumption is absolutely shocking!"

"I will take my compatriots to carry out this mission in person. You have bet on the national destiny for this war, and I will also bet on my life for this war! We have not much time left now. Taking advantage of the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, we can also severely damage our opponents. Once more and more British troops pour here, our failure will only be a matter of time." Kariput said calmly.

"I can draw from the US military for the lack of manpower. Mr. Kariput and his colleagues are trustworthy. He and his German officers have been running for the Boers' liberation movement. I am willing to participate in this operation with Mr. Kariput and provide two radio and telegraph machines for the entire legion." Pershing's intervention broke the deadlock. If the Germans were the largest weapons suppliers of the Boers, then the Americans were the biggest supporters of the Boers, both in personnel and equipment... So far, 8,000 Americans have participated in the war in South Africa, and the Americans have only provided interest-free loans of $500,000!

"We are half of the troops in terms of force," Kruger said after taking a deep breath. Three cavalry regiments and one artillery battalion plus scouts of about 5,000 people, about 5,000 people, but this is only a front-line combat force, and it also requires at least 2,000 humanitarian and 3,000 militia to provide logistics services! This almost drained Boer's mobile troops! Fortunately, the Americans were willing to share the combat troops of 2,500, which made Kruger feel a little better.

After the three parties finalized the cooperation plan, all preparations were officially launched, and a large number of elite combatants were pulled out of the original units. It was fine for the Americans. Before coming to South Africa, the Americans had already considered the possible large-scale cavalry battle, so they brought a whole regiment of cavalry. These preciously trained troops quickly adapted to the new environment and opponents.

The Boers' situation was a little worse, but with the coordination of the top leaders, the number of people quickly gathered up, and most of them served as artillery and scouts. The former was a technical army, while the latter was what the Boers were most willing to do. The Boers' unprecedented mobile corps began to be formed, and Kruger also supplemented the artillery and baggage troops needed by the troops. When the confrontation between the two sides entered the third week of Bloemfontein, the mobile unit called the Kariput Commando within the Boers was finally completed!

"If the US government chose this war in revenge and your country's soldiers participated in this war because of irresistible military orders, then, as a commander who controls all the US military, why do you have to participate in this life-and-death operation with me? I have told you no less than 3 times, and I will not have more than 60% of this operation!" On the side of the war, Kariput whispered beside Pershing.

"Because I don't want to return to the United States in the name of a loser. Anyone with discerning eyes knows that if there is no major change, the Boers will last for at most half a year, and then the British will crush the Boers' front with huge military strength and then directly attack their capital! Then, the war will be like our encirclement and suppression of the Indians. The failure of the Boers is a matter of time sooner or later."

"Of course there is another important reason. I have always felt that this kind of army tactic is really boring now. The battle between the two sides turned out to be more rigid. A large number of troops solidified on the position to engage in a war of attrition without any technology. This is an insult to the word tactic! Your thoughts have given me hope, so I want to participate in this battle as a witness to a new tactic! Pershing said with a smile.

"That may disappoint you. 30% of our chances of winning in this operation are based on the lack of cavalry and lack of preparation. If you face an opponent of the same level, the chances of winning may be lower. The tactic of cavalry rushing from a distance to break the opponent's defense line and finally completing the encirclement is outdated." Kariput said.

"But this idea is correct. As more and more new things are in service in the future, I think a new cavalry will gradually replace these old predecessors." Pershing smiled and pointed at the cavalry in the distance with a horse whip. "In addition, I want to say that your Bavarian cars are really good. I bought one for $15,000. It is much better than my old friend." After that, Pershing pointed to his own war horse.

"Cars are good things. After returning to Germany, I will buy one, but I hope our army can equip cars in large quantities to partially replace horses." Kariput felt something in his heart seemed to be touched, and a new idea sprouted in his mind. "Maybe in the future, mobile tactics may not necessarily become the core of tactical ideas again." Kariput said in his heart.

The entire group was divided into three parts during the operation. The reconnaissance force composed of 1,000 Boer cavalry was dispatched first. After entering the British ruling area, they were divided into 8 operation teams, 6 of which were spread in a fan shape to perform search and sabotage tasks. The other two teams were responsible for contacting the main force of the cavalry troops in the rear and were also responsible for sniping the British reconnaissance cavalry.

When the entire reconnaissance unit and the main force set apart about 80 kilometers away, the main force composed of three elite cavalry regiments officially appeared. However, they did not perform the combat mission as soon as possible, but slowly followed the main force. They were like hunters following the hunting dog while hunting, collecting intelligence and waiting for opportunities. When the hunting dog entangles the opponent, they are giving the prey a fatal blow.
