The British counterattack begins!

Different from the previous petty fighting, this time Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton spent a lot of money, including all 16 "Centurion" mk3 tanks he owned, and he also got two tanks belonging to the Gnerhausen Infantry Battalion.

An infantry company, and a reinforcement of 6 105mm and 4 155mm artillery pieces belonging to the Royal Scots Artillery Regiment.

Coupled with some engineering troops, related support units, etc., they form the Royal Tank Battalion Armored Battle Group, the most powerful synthetic assault combat programming armored battle group in the British Army since World War II!

Its operational intention is also very obvious. It is to take advantage of the shortage of supplies of the Volunteer Army to use sharp multi-arms armored assault coordinated operations to tear apart the Chinese and North Korean coalition forces in front of them, and then launch an attack far to the rear, completely destroying the rear of a main division of the Volunteer Army.

The road is cut off.

When the British 7th Brigade and the main force of the U.S. Army, which was speeding up, arrived, they immediately surrounded and annihilated this powerful Chinese army in a narrow area north of Seoul and south of the Imjin River.

The intention is simple and clear, the organizational structure is mature and reliable, and the specific tactical implementation is even more clear. Although this armored combined battle group's far-reaching assault and roundabout tactics were pioneered by the German army during World War II, and often severely damaged the Allies.

But as the saying goes, a long-term illness makes a good doctor. After being beaten many times, he also knows the routine of beating people. The British who were ravaged by the German army for several years in the desert of North Africa using this method of warfare gradually learned the essence of it and used it as a weapon.

It was successfully used in the counterattack against Germany at the end of the war.

Therefore, this tactic is not only not unfamiliar to the British soldiers in the Royal Tank Battalion Armored Battle Group, but they are so familiar that they know it themselves without too many arrangements from their commander, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton.

Where it should be, how to cooperate, and even finding the breakthrough point are very precise and vicious, and this is the advantage of World War II veterans.

So, the Royal Tank Battalion Armored Battle Group started going crazy!

The first to bear the brunt was the right wing of a certain main division of the Volunteer Army, which was the North Korean Capital Guard Second Division that replaced the severely damaged North Korean First Army.

There was no way, the First Corps of the Korean People's Army was too unreliable. Not only did they lose a main battalion in the attack on Gwangpyeong-dong, but all their heavy artillery and rocket launchers were also destroyed. Later, the Royal Tank Battalion carried out a counter-assault.

The defeat was so complete that not only the own headquarters almost fell into the hands of the Royal Tank Battalion.

Even the volunteers on the flanks were greatly threatened, and they had to postpone the expansion of the breakthrough in Guangpingdong and fully deal with the counterattack of the Royal Tank Battalion, which resulted in most of the British troops successfully escaping from the encirclement of the volunteers.

In just two wars, this elite unit of the Korean People's Army has performed like this. Not to mention that a certain main division of the Volunteer Army adjacent to it was worried, even the Korean First Army itself had no shame in staying on the front line anymore, so it reported to the Volunteer Army

The headquarters and North Korean senior officials transferred the severely damaged North Korean First Army Corps from the front line to the second line reserve force.

As for the vacancy left by it, it will be filled by the Second Division of the North Korean Capital Guard. However, such a North Korean division obviously cannot bear the task of covering the flanks of a main division of the Volunteer Army. But at this time, from the western front to the eastern front, the front stretches across the entire Korean Peninsula.

The battle had been a mess in the morning, and the Volunteer Army Headquarters could not spare many troops to strengthen the flanks of a certain main division.

In desperation, they had no choice but to pull out the big guns and use the North Korean Capital Guard Second Division, which was more sophisticated than the North Korean First Army Corps, together with several North Korean troops that had not suffered serious losses as reinforcements to form a cover.

The group was deployed on the flank of a certain main division of the Volunteer Army, and then reluctantly shouldered the heavy responsibility of covering the Volunteer Army's attack.

In the past few days, I followed a certain main division all the way south, and fought several smooth battles without any danger, and achieved a lot. However, compared with elite units of the volunteer army with actual combat experience such as the heavy firepower company, North Korea

The equipment of the Capital Guard Second Division is very sophisticated, but the combat experience of the newly recruited North Korean soldiers is obviously much inferior.

It is mainly reflected in the consumption of supplies. Veterans with combat experience can wait for the enemy to approach without panic, and then concentrate their firepower to eliminate them. In this way, not only is the instantaneous firepower extremely powerful, but the ammunition consumed is also very limited.

However, recruits who first enter the battlefield, due to nervousness and fear, often start shooting impatiently as soon as they see the shadow of the enemy. Not only is it difficult to concentrate the firepower, but the consumption of ammunition is also very huge. In addition, the continuous combat system consumes a lot of money, resulting in food shortages.

The dosage is also much larger than usual.

More importantly, the North Korean Capital Guard Second Division has not made much improvement in its rations. It still uses the old-fashioned fried noodles of the Volunteer Army, with at most some kimchi and rice dumplings, instead of the highly efficient field compressed rations.

At that time, the rations of the Second Guard Division in the North Korean capital were already stretched thin.

At this moment, the Armored Battle Group of the Royal Tank Battalion commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton suddenly rushed toward them. Although the Second Division of the Korean Capital Guard made great sacrifices and launched a life-and-death struggle with the Armored Battle Group of the Royal Tank Battalion, the Royal Tank Battalion's Armored Combat Group was defeated.

Under the sharp offensive of the tank battalion armored battle group, the North Korean Capital Guard Second Division, which lacked experience, had rigid tactics, and was already hungry, simply could not withstand it.

In less than half an hour, the armored battle group of the Royal Tank Battalion broke through the defense line.

Fortunately, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton's target was not the weak Korean army, but a main division of the Volunteer Army on the flanks. Therefore, after successfully breaking through the direction of the North Korean Capital Guard Second Division, the Royal Tank commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton

The battalion armored battle group did not entangle with it at all, but advanced at high speed to the deep zone in the north. Only then did the Second Division of the North Korean Capital Guard gain a glimmer of hope.

But even so, the Second Capital Guard Division of North Korea, an elite combat force in the Korean People's Army, no longer exists...

However, at this time, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton had no intention of paying attention to the tearful North Koreans. At this time, he was holding several shriveled bags of fried noodles, which his soldiers had just seized from the North Korean soldiers, without exception.

They are all empty, and even if a few of them still have some stock, the quantity is very rare, and even if they are added together, it is probably not enough for a meal.

Seeing this, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton was even more determined. He immediately took two puffs from the pipe in his hand, threw a few fried noodle bags in front of him under the command tank, his expression became even more arrogant, and then he said disdainfully to the staff officer beside him:

"North Korean soldiers generally carry much more rations than Chinese soldiers, but now even North Korean soldiers are starting to go hungry. Compared to those Chinese soldiers, they should also be suffering, so..."

As he spoke, the corners of Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton's mouth curved in a cruel arc, and then he nodded gracefully: "Then let the Chinese see the true combat effectiveness of our British Empire Army!"

The staff officer also nodded confidently, and then conveyed Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton's attack order through the radio. Then he felt the ground tremble, and the 6 105mm and 4 155mm heavy guns belonging to the Royal Tank Battalion Armored Battle Group began to fire volleys.

Qi roared, and in an instant raindrops of artillery shells shot into the air, and immediately landed on the heavy fire company's position...
Chapter completed!
