Chapter 1290 Kaju Kills Rocket (Third update, please subscribe)

"I will be Kimberly's liberator!"

General Paul Methuen, who was commanding his troops to rush to Kimberly's aid, always had such thoughts in his mind.

Of course, when the siege of Kimberley was lifted, he gained not only fame, but also wealth and gratitude from the dignitaries in London.

But people who have delusional dreams will never know what they will encounter.

While General Paul Methuen was fantasizing about gaining wealth, fame and power, he did not notice that hundreds of red spots of light suddenly appeared in the empty sky several kilometers away, like meteors, but these meteors were different, dragging red tails as they rose from the ground.

They suddenly rose up and then made a "chirping" sound in the air, which was made by "meteors" flying. Their tails disappeared in mid-air and then flew in a parabola.

"What is that?"

At least for a moment, the dumbfounded people did not react at all. They just listened blankly to the whistling sound in the air.

“Chirp…”

Finally, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, meteors fell into the marching column.

What is "Kachusha"?

In fact, it is very simple. It is an electrically-activated multiple rocket launcher. It will make a "click" sound when the launch button is turned, and a "chirp" sound when flying in the air. When it lands, it will naturally kill all around.

Boom! Boom!

Different from ordinary artillery bombardment, the bombardment of the "Kachusha" multiple rocket launcher was like a rainstorm. In an instant, hundreds of rockets fell almost at the same time. The continuous explosions were like machine guns. In the violent explosions, the red column disappeared in an instant, completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

The lobster soldiers who were marching were blown away by the blast. Before they lost consciousness, they even saw their bodies being blown into two pieces by the shells, their intestines being thrown into the air, and themselves flying in the air like a tangled ball of thread...

Hundreds of rockets fell on the British army's marching column almost at the same time. Amid the continuous explosions, huge balls of flames and smoke shot straight into the sky. In an instant, the plateau was turned into a sea of ​​fire.

And in this sea of ​​fire, there was death everywhere. It seemed that this ball of flame was the flame spewed out by the god of death, and it was devouring all the forests in it.

…

At this time, General Delarie and his men on the distant hills saw an extremely spectacular but extremely terrifying scene. Hundreds of "Kachusha" multiple rockets fell from the sky like a rain of fire, completely covering the British army's marching column several kilometers away. At the moment of the explosion, it was like the coming of Doomsday, as if the entire world was going to be destroyed.

"Oh my God! No wonder Captain Qian used electric generators to fire at the same time. This is the power of simultaneous explosions..."

Qian Mingkun was deeply shocked by the scene before him. Although the instructors in the artillery school had told him time and again that the power of rocket launchers lies in the instantaneous intensive firepower, he did not have a clear understanding at that time. Even during the exercises, he could not feel such an atmosphere. After all, exercises are different from wars.

He was extremely shocked to find that at the moment of the explosion, the entire sky was dyed red by red flames. The red sky seemed to be burning, and the endless explosions were accompanied by flames and black smoke.

The sky and the earth were completely covered by artillery fire. From time to time, balls of flames kept bursting out in the dark gray smoke. I don’t know if they were the exploding British artillery shells.

And for the people who were caught in the bombardment, what did they feel?

It's destruction!

It's hell!

In the choking smoke, the survivors felt like they were in hell. On the ground, the injured survivors were crying and shouting. They knelt in a pool of blood and screamed in fear. Many people were running around like headless flies while screaming, and many people were kneeling on the ground praying for God's blessing.

In this purgatory, there were fragments of corpses everywhere, and wounded people whose bodies were blown to pieces everywhere. The living were running, and the wounded were crying and wailing in the explosions.

Claude stood there like a fool. The scene before him made him feel extremely terrified.

What is this place?

Is it hell?

Is this the hell described by Dante in the Divine Comedy?

Claude could hardly believe his eyes. Such dense artillery fire was far beyond his imagination. How could the Boers have so many artillerymen? Where did they get so many cannons!

Oh yes, it’s a rocket…it’s the “Kachusha” multiple rocket launcher.

But why is it so powerful?

As for General Paul Methuen, he was also stunned by the scene before him.

"General, General..."

His adjutant shouted, as if to remind him what was happening.

what happened?

No one knows that just a second ago they were still complaining about the scorching sun and the hardship of the long journey, but now they are facing death.

The fierce bombardment came quickly and disappeared quickly. After only a dozen seconds, all the explosions stopped. The wilderness was in ruins, with burning flames everywhere, bloody corpses everywhere, and wounded soldiers everywhere rolling on the ground and screaming. It was a tragic scene of the coming of doomsday.

The once mighty army disappeared, leaving only a group of defeated soldiers. At this moment, suddenly, a whistling sound was heard in the air again.

Bombardment!

It's a mortar, it's a field artillery!

Fierce artillery fire once again swept the earth, and shells exploded beside the survivors. Those who had managed to survive the rocket fire were blown into the sky. The broken shrapnel shattered their bodies, tearing their flesh and blood, and the shock wave scattered their flesh and blood into the air.

The collapsed British soldiers were screaming and fleeing. It was at this moment that they heard the sound of the earth galloping, and then they saw horses... groups of war horses. The Boers rode on horses to attack these stragglers. Bullets were whistling and sabers were waving in the air. Although the British fled quickly, although they always wanted to hide in the grass to escape the pursuit of these Boers, their red uniforms exposed their presence. The Boers were like hunters, chasing the fleeing British on this plateau.

In this chase between hunter and prey, as vultures circled and devoured the scraps of flesh and body parts on the battlefield, a white flag was raised amid the fierce sound of gunfire.

"General, congratulations on winning this battle..."

When Qian Mingkun congratulated the "Lion of Western Transvaal" beside him, General De La Rey said directly.

"Battle launchers, we need more rocket launchers!"

In order to kill as many British as possible, he needed more rocket launchers...

No matter how expensive the rocket launcher shells are, in his opinion, this weapon is extremely effective. As long as he has it, there is a possibility of winning the war.
