"Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton, look..."

Forty minutes later, after several rounds of artillery preparations and the incoming firing of more than a dozen Centurion 3 tanks, the British Royal Tank Battalion confirmed the location of the heavy fire companies stationed on several solid positions on both sides of Highway 18.

After the fortified offensive was completely destroyed, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton ordered the accompanying infantry to launch an attack.

Immediately, a platoon of British troops roared towards a high ground and successfully captured it, followed by the second, third, fourth... After taking the last high ground, the British troops responsible for the charge

Let alone fighting, the army infantry didn't even fire a few bullets out of their guns.

So much so that their long-prepared offensive was like a mighty armed parade, which made the British soldiers participating in the battle both excited and proud. They felt that the sense of honor of the British Empire that had been glorious for centuries was once again filled with them.

In their hearts, why else would those Chinese not even put up a minimum of resistance, abandon their positions and flee directly?

There are still many British soldiers who hold this idea. However, Major Enfield, the Chief of Operations of the British 7th Brigade Staff Headquarters who is following Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton, is very worried about this abnormal behavior of the Chinese team.

So after checking several squadron positions, he pointed at several trenches and fortifications that had been completely disfigured by British artillery fire, and said worriedly to Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton who came with him: "These trenches are only

At a depth of about one and a half meters, the fortifications are no more than a layer of wooden planks and thick soil. This is a huge difference from the fine civil engineering work that the Chinese ** team focused on defense in the past..."

"Sir, what do you want to say?"

Seeing that the staff officer from the rear headquarters was going to talk about those mind-numbing truths again, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton waved his hand impatiently: "Then let's be concise, because in a few days

In minutes, I will launch an attack on a certain main division of the Chinese Army!"

Faced with Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton's arrogant attitude based on inflation, Major Enfield did not take it to heart, but responded to himself: "It's very simple, various evidences show that this may be a bomb array arranged by the Chinese!

"

"Hahaha"

Before Major Enfield could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton's arrogant laughter: "** formation? Hahaha, Mr. Major, to put it bluntly, this is the funniest comedy in the London Grand Theater.

However, if you said it was a military formation, it seems to me that the Chinese soldiers fainted from hunger. Otherwise, how do you explain those things?"

As he spoke, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton pointed to a few empty fried noodle bags not far from the fortifications, as well as branches with bark peeled off one by one and messy weeds: "Obviously, those squadrons have long been cut off from food rations.

We can only eat bark and wild vegetables to satisfy our hunger, so..."

After saying that, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton held his bronze pipe in his mouth again, exhaled two puffs of light smoke, and then continued disdainfully: "I want to ask you, dear Major Enfield, if you

Do you still have the strength to dig deep trenches, deepen your offensive, or even fight with all your strength when you are so hungry and cold?"

As soon as he said this, the surrounding officers of the Royal Tank Battalion burst into laughter. Major Enfield's fair face turned green and white amidst the loud laughter, but he could not say a word.

After all, the judgment that the Chinese ** team was completely out of food was not a dictatorial move made by Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton alone.

It was the consensus of the Seventh Brigade of the British Army, and even the entire Union Army, including of course his staff officer, Major Enfield. So from deep in his heart, he also felt that the Chinese Army was suffering from hunger.

The reason for not being able to fight is just because of the caution and rigor of the staff officer. When encountering unreasonable things, he always thinks more about it, so he just warned him to show his difference, but he didn't expect to get this.

general results.

So, feeling ashamed, Major Enfield wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in immediately, so he made an excuse that he was not feeling well and left in a hurry.

Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton looked at Major Enfield's leaving back and curled his lips in disdain. Not to mention such an insincere guy's warning, even if God came in person at this time, he would never be able to stop the offensive of his armored force, because he had already done so in one fell swoop.

After defeating the heavy fire company, is the remaining squadron still his enemy?

Because of this, at this moment Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton seemed to have seen his heroic figure cutting off the retreat of a main division of the Volunteer Army and drinking his horse near the Jin River. He couldn't help but be a little crazy, so he turned around and prepared to order the Royal Tank Battalion to

Speed ​​it up again.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sudden roar in the distance. A violent explosion suddenly sounded in the march of the Royal Tank Battalion. A half-track armored vehicle directly in front exploded and caught fire. Several British soldiers

Those who had no time to dodge were either cut into several pieces by shrapnel, or their muscles and bones were shattered by the huge shock wave, and they lost all vitality...

However, before the British army could react, several more artillery shells hit them all over the face. As a result, the three trucks following behind suffered a disaster and were directly engulfed by the flames rising from the explosion...

Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton, who was standing on the high ground, saw this. Instead of panicking, he looked at several rising fires in the distance with his binoculars. He couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: "A bunch of guys who overestimate their capabilities!"

Before he finished speaking, he turned his head and quickly ordered to the communication staff on the side: "Notify the artillery group, target 489, distance 1128, elevation 584, instant fuse, rapid fire..."

The reason why Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton is able to command this kind of synthetic battle group is that his strength is naturally extraordinary. Only professional artillerymen can obtain the shooting parameters based on maps and measuring instruments. Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton can accurately use a telescope to look at them for a few times.

After the report came out, I have to say that his military professional ability is indeed strong to a certain extent.

Because of this, under his command, the reinforced Royal Tank Battalion's battlefield response speed was extremely fast. Not long after Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton's words were spoken, more than ten large-caliber artillery in the rear began to fire in unison.

They all roared angrily, and instantly the area Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton was looking at was enveloped in smoke and fire.

However, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton did not stop there. Instead, he ordered the tanks to take the lead, followed by the infantry, preparing to use thunderous momentum to crush the annoying Chinese recoilless artillery pieces with their tracks like bugs.

As a result, the marching formation of the entire Royal Tank Battalion began to change rapidly. However, just as several branches of the British army were staggering back and forth and regrouping in chaos, a loud sound of trumpets suddenly sounded in the sky, followed by countless Chinese soldiers.

As if emerging from the cracks in the ground, they rushed in from all directions with deafening shouts of killing.

They have no fire cover, and they do not adjust their formations. They attack fiercely when they come up. All they have to do is to engage the enemy in close combat. Even if the enemy's firepower is fierce, even if they have impressive armor protection, even if they are well-trained, they can still
