Chapter 381 The emboldened sixth battalion of the British Commonwealth
"Da da~~ da da da~~~"
When a burst of gunfire from the 12.7mm heavy machine gun reverberated clearly in the sky above Guangpyeong-dong, the last charging soldier of the 7th North Korean Battalion was cut in half by the powerful bullet, so that even the smallest scream could be heard.
He didn't even have time to scream, and he just fell down in the trench in front of the position with a look of death!
"I really don't know what those Korean soldiers do for a living. These pig-like guys can't stop them. I think they are even stupider than pigs!"
Through the gunpowder smoke, looking at the corpses of the Korean People's Army strewn on the ground, Major John of the 6th Infantry Battalion of the 7th Brigade of the British Army stationed in Guangpyeong-dong curled his lips in disdain and quickly raised the 12.7mm Browning heavy machine gun in front of him.
Open the number of ammunition feeders on the machine, put a row of new ammunition belts, and then hand it to the machine gunner with admiring eyes: "Do you see clearly? My child, this is how you should fight the enemy!"
"yes!"
The Indian soldier wearing the British military uniform immediately stood up to Major John, then took his heavy machine gun, and through the observation port of the firepower point, he watched everything outside vigilantly, let alone the enemy.
Soldier, even if a rabbit dares to offend his firepower, he will not hesitate to open fire and beat it into a pile of mud!
Major John nodded with satisfaction, feeling that it was right for him to take the risk to walk around the firepower point ahead. Not only did the morale of the soldiers greatly improve, but their fighting will also became what it was in Alamein in North Africa.
More importantly, he also used a heavy machine gun to overcome his addiction to being a butcher, which was a worthwhile trip.
However, just when he was satisfied, the words of Captain Edward, the staff officer beside him, suddenly made the smile on his face freeze: "Major, what we just repelled was the Korean People's Army, the truly powerful China
We haven't fought against each other yet, so..."
"So you're afraid?"
Major John didn't wait for Captain Edward to finish what he said, and interrupted sarcastically. He then glanced sideways at Captain Edward and said disdainfully: "I can tell you responsibly, the Koreans are just mine."
Appetizers and Chinese dishes are the real delicious meal of the day.
Just like in El Alamein in North Africa, when Rommel was able to become our meal, the same is true for the Chinese today... Please take a good look at your armband... Remember that we are the first Commonwealth of the Commonwealth to defend Alamein.
The Sixth Battalion, the most decorated Sixth Battalion in the British Empire!"
Major John is different from the traditional British officers who are rigid, stubborn, and gentlemanly. Instead, he is as wild and bohemian as an American cowboy. But no matter how different Major John is, when he mentioned the 6th Battalion of the Commonwealth
Although he has the title, he has the unique pride and glory of the elite of the British Empire.
The reason is simple. The 6th Battalion of the Commonwealth under his command is the leading defensive ace in the British army!
Its famous battle was the Battle of El Alamein, known as one of the three turning points of World War II. At that time, facing the fierce offensive of the German Afrika Korps of the "Desert Fox" Rommel, the British army, which had been forced to El Alamein, Egypt, was forced to do
Develop a defensive and counterattack plan.
That is to say, front-line infantry is used to cooperate with some tanks and armored forces, and minefields, anti-tank trenches and other facilities are used to delay the attack of the German armored forces. After their energy is exhausted, the elite British armored forces that have been charging for a long time can then launch a centripetal attack.
Attack and defeat the German offensive in one fell swoop.
At that time, the Sixth Battalion of the Commonwealth, composed of soldiers from various British colonies and territories, was deployed to the east of El Alamein to defend as part of the enemy resistance. Initially, the British commander was skeptical about the combat effectiveness of this army of different races.
They didn't have much confidence, so the task given to them was very simple, which was to use the local hilly terrain to resist the German armored forces for an hour.
However, what everyone did not expect was that such a miscellaneous force, which was not a pure British force, persisted on its own position for two days and one night, repelling more than 20 German attacks, even with more than half of the casualties.
They refused to retreat until the main force of the British army launched a counterattack.
Since then, the 6th Battalion of the Commonwealth has become famous in the first battle. Not only was it received by King George VI of the United Kingdom, but it was also awarded an armband with the hilly terrain of eastern Alamein in recognition of the achievements of the 6th Battalion of the Commonwealth. Not only was it so heroic
The 6th Federal Battalion was also given the royal title and became a veritable ace in the British army.
Afterwards, the 6th Battalion of the Commonwealth participated in the Normandy campaign to counterattack Europe, aiming to liberate the Netherlands and the "City Garden" campaign in Belgium. Especially in the "Ardennes" battle where the German army counterattacked, the 6th Battalion of the Commonwealth provided rock-solid defense.
Let his enemies understand once again what it means to be impregnable!
It is precisely because of its outstanding military exploits that after the end of World War II, the 6th Battalion of the Commonwealth was included in the 7th Brigade, the most elite British army. After the outbreak of the Korean War, the United Kingdom, as the closest ally of the United States, naturally responded positively and immediately transferred the 6th Battalion to the 7th Brigade.
The Seventh Brigade was sent to Korea, and the Sixth Battalion of the Commonwealth also came with it.
However, what depressed the 6th Battalion of the British Commonwealth was that they had been fighting fierce battles for several months, either attacking or retreating, and had no chance to play to their strengths. Until this time, as the main force of the British 7th Brigade entered north of Seoul
The sixth battalion of the British Commonwealth finally found the feeling of El Alamein in the Guangping Cave.
In the words of the battalion commander, Major John: Bunkers, firepower points, minefields and trenches, this is the battle that the Sixth Battalion of the Commonwealth should fight!
Although Captain Edward was only a young man who had just graduated from the military academy, he was able to survive quickly thanks to his family's close relationship with the British royal family. As a result, he often received sarcastic comments from Major John, who was a man of swords and guns, but he was by no means the idiot John said.
Goose, on the contrary, has a very clear mind.
Therefore, even though he knew the brilliant record and combat characteristics of the 6th Battalion of the Commonwealth, Captain Edward still felt that since the enemy was the elusive Chinese, it was better to be cautious.
Because of this, as soon as Lieutenant Colonel John finished speaking, Captain Edward continued to insist: "Major, I think we should be more cautious. You have also seen the artillery preparations before the North Korean attack. It was very violent. As long as they handle it,
With good tactical planning of infantry and artillery coordination, we are still in great danger!"
"Infantry and artillery coordination? Their infantry may not be able to kill them all, but their artillery... haha... I can go to hell with peace of mind!"
Major John gave a meaningful and cold smile, and Captain Edward couldn't help being slightly stunned when he saw this. Just as he was thinking about what Major John's words meant, he felt the ground beneath his feet shaking for a while, and then one after another whistling passed through the air.
For a moment, explosions coming from far and near came one after another...
Only then did Captain Edward understand that the real strength of the 6th Battalion of the Commonwealth was not only the glorious war history and the current solid defense line of reinforced concrete in Guangpingdong, but also the British heavy artillery located behind the position.
