"But you don't have to worry. Most of your supplies will be provided by rail transportation. We will use armored trains to ensure your supplies and artillery transportation. You can choose to carry some artillery, or you can choose to transport them by train. However, it is indeed difficult for half a cavalry division to defeat opponents on the vast South African grasslands. Your primary task should be to ensure the smoothness of the railway and then consider other things."

"I understand that my troops will be concentrated on both sides of the railway line to cruise. The Boers' cavalry will also be restricted by supplies and it is impossible to cross Hannover and continue to move south. If you use the troops at hand to cooperate with the remaining troops, I have the confidence to ensure the safety of traffic from Hannover to the front line!" General French said.

Five days later, the British army, who were advancing quickly by horseback and carriage, finally reached the edge of the Boer guerrilla zone. When nearly 5,000 British troops appeared in front of them, both Pershing and Kariput felt great pressure! These are the pride of the British Empire Army, and the elites who have been tempered and tempered.

Although the emergence of machine guns and artillery has made the cavalry an auxiliary army, in a specific environment, they are the biggest enemies of Pershing and Kariput! They thought that the British would send reinforcements, but they never expected that the size of a cavalry division would come back! (5,000 people were put into Germany and were the cavalry division...) More importantly, there were 4 temporary modified armored trains. Although these monsters equipped with 3-pound cannons and machine guns were ugly, everyone admitted that without flat-fired cannons, they were the kings in the battlefield. In addition to blasting and landmines, it was difficult for them to paralyze them!

"Hank, he is the British!" The most direct feeling of the pressure were the troops who were on the front line for reconnaissance and harassment. The experienced hunters were very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of both sides. They operated in regiments. The scale of nearly 500 cavalry in three cavalry companies made the Boers dare not even attack black guns!

There was once a bold Boer trying to harass the army, and he fired only 3 shots! He killed a British soldier, and then he was surrounded by the British. The British knew very well that the Boer scouts had at least 2 horses, so they often used surrounds and blocking or chasing in segments when they hunted, just like lions hunting, constantly chasing and consuming, and easily killing their opponents after the opponent was exhausted.

When the British set their sights on their prey, the huge cavalry regiment was like an eagle with wings spreading. They would spread a wide front and quickly encircle. At this time, the Boers, who were at an absolute disadvantage, would not have much difference in evacuation or resistance, because if they evacuate, they would take turns tracking, like wolves, and consume the physical strength of the personnel. If they resist, even if they have better weapons, when they are open to resist, facing the charge of several times of the personnel, even if the Boers could kill more British troops, they would eventually be dealt with by sabers or rifles. Hank is facing this situation now!

"Our retreat has been cut off. These guys are veterans. They have been watching us for several days, and even understand our rules of action." A subordinate said in panic. The Boers are good hunters, but not necessarily excellent commanders. Their actions are too casual. In front of experienced commanders, there are many loopholes! For example, in order to facilitate water withdrawal, Hank's troops usually move along the river and have the habit of temporarily storing supplies in a certain place. When the British discovered these two points, it is naturally very easy to encircle them. In fact, this time, they fell into the trap!

The hounds were ready. They spread a circular encirclement net and gradually narrowed the encirclement. For this operation, the cavalry regiment even carried 2 6-pound cannons and 4 machine guns. Under the cover of the cavalry, the machine gun team and gun team were arranged outside the range of the Boer mortars. The British began to adjust their queues, and their horses began to advance slowly. A solemn atmosphere enveloped the entire battlefield. The bright sabers were drawn out from the scabbard and shone with cold light under the sunlight. At this time, their opponents were on the exposed river bank!

The British were looking for a chance. They quietly surrounded them at night and then launched an attack at dawn. At this time, Hank and his colleagues were still cooking! The guy who threw away the meal immediately picked up the rifle, and then hurriedly deployed his position. The defense line around two machine guns and two 60 mortars was so fragile in front of the British. Two 57mm cannons could tear the defense line apart after a few rounds.

How could the 60 mortar, which could not play its trajectory advantage and not have enough range, fight against the 57-speed gun? The high-explosive bombs fired by the British artillery quickly covered the defense line. Balls of orange fireballs rose on the position. Many people could no longer bear the blow. They tried to escape from the defense line by horses, but soon, these people who were already on the verge of despair were either harvested by shrapnel or were cut down by the British cavalry who had just run away.

"Release the smoke bomb! We are ready to break through! Ross, drive the excess horse in another direction!" Hank finally couldn't help it. He began to deploy and prepare for a desperate breakthrough with a small chance of winning!

"Wait, Hank, it's a vibration! The vibration from the ground! A large number of horses! It's a large group of cavalry!" The vibrations on the ground made the Boers excited, which represents the hope of life. Although the person who came may also be British, no matter how bad it is, the result will not be worse than now. If it were Boers, then they would be saved. Hank and others knew that the Boers had a huge cavalry unit around them.

It seemed to be to verify this that the British began to gradually shrink their troops. They withdrew their encirclement and began to retreat southwest. No, it was not appropriate to say that they retreated. They just retreated to a small slope and then dismounted and deployed defensive positions. Because of the drag of baggage and artillery, the British knew that they could not leave, and the regular Boer cavalry could continue to pursue one person or two horses. Therefore, even if these artillery were discarded, the British still could not evacuate smoothly, and at least a piece of meat would be torn off!

"Send a message to the general immediately and say that we have met the main force of the Boers!" This British cavalry is also a vanguard, but it has stronger troops, better weapons, and advanced contact means. Unlike the entire Kariput Legion, there are only 4 radio and telegraph machines, General French has twelve radio equipment under his command, which can completely ensure the connection between any regiment-level unit and logistics unit. (Presumably, the distance is not too far)
