Chapter XVIII The British Army

Just as I had deduced, in the middle of the night, I heard a burst of gunfire in front of me, but to my surprise, the gunfire was not as intense as I had imagined.

After fighting with the Yankees, we all know that the Yankees have a high rate of fire even if they have only one company, not to mention the planes, tanks, and artillery, but also to say that small arms such as machine guns, submachine guns, carbines, and even the M1 rifle have a high rate of fire. Otherwise, why would the US military consume more than 3 million tons of ammunition during the Korean War, while our army consumed only 200,000 tons of ammunition in the entire war, which is not enough for a fraction of others.

"Company commander!" Zhao Yongxin limped up, perhaps because of the pain, since he had rarely seen him speak since his foot injury.

"I don't think it's quite right to hear this gunshot!" Zhao Yongxin said with some doubts.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but nod, sure enough, it was a comrade-in-arms who had fought the Yankees together, and they could hear the sound of gunshots.

"What's wrong?" Instructor Zhao asked suspiciously.

"Yankees' gunfire isn't that sparse." I replied on my behalf: "Look at this firepower, if it weren't for the dense sound of their machine guns, it would not be much different from the 38 big covers in the hands of our volunteers." ”

"That's it!" Zhao Yongxin also said approvingly: "So this time it shouldn't be the Yankees in front, could it be the one we met last time?" ”

"Turkish Brigade?"

"Yes, yes! Company commander, do you think it will be a Turkish brigade? ”

"Unlikely!" I shook my head and said, "The Turkish brigade has almost wiped out our troops in the second battle, and this time nothing can stop our troops!" ”

"Then the enemy in front of this is ......"

"Whatever?" I said noncommittally: "It doesn't matter what kind of unit he is, will you know when you arrive?" ”

As I spoke, I waved to the troops following behind and said, "Comrades, speed up, if we can't catch up with the troops at dawn, we will catch up with the enemy's plane bombs......

As soon as I said this, it worked, and the speed of those recruits really increased a lot, and I couldn't help but feel angry and funny when I looked at it.

What is the enemy standing in the way? As I ran forward, I was thinking, at this time, the combat effectiveness of the puppet army was still very weak, and it was also beaten by us and fled in all directions, so it is unlikely that it is a puppet army. It is even more impossible for Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and the like to send only one platoon and one battalion to the war. Canada should not have entered the war at this time...... Then all that remains is - the British army!

Dizzy, how could I have forgotten about the British army.

Although the number of British troops participating in the battle was small, there were only three brigades of less than 10,000 people, (of which the British 27th Brigade was transferred from the garrison in Hong Kong, with only two infantry battalions. But most of them were veterans of World War II. "You can fight, and your marksmanship is accurate!" This is the evaluation of the returned volunteer soldiers to the British troops participating in the war.

However, their standard rifle still stayed on the manual rifle of Lee Enfield, although this gun made the German army suffer a lot in terms of rate of fire in the First and Second World Wars, but it was still far from the M1 semi-automatic rifle in the hands of the American army.

"Who?" After running for more than half an hour, the sound of pulling the bolt from the front made us stop in a hurry.

"Liberate New China!" I hurriedly shouted to the shadows: "We are from the 353rd Battalion and 2nd Company of the 2nd Regiment, and I am the company commander Cui Wei." ”

"Serve the people! It turned out to be Company Commander Cui! A few volunteer soldiers ran out of the darkness in front of them, and one of them with a dark face said to me: "Company Commander Cui, why did you come, Battalion Commander Xu is looking for you everywhere!" ”

"What kind of soldier is in front?" I didn't answer, I just asked.

"British soldiers." The black face replied: "The few captives I have captured confessed, it seems that it is some British royal and some gun regiment, and the name is strange, I can't remember." ”

"British 29th Brigade Royal Oster rifle regiment?"

"Yes, that's it." The black face nodded and said: "Their guns are accurate, the soldiers rushed several times but did not rush forward, the chief of staff of the division observed with a telescope from a distance of more than 500 meters, and was killed by the enemy's cold shot." ”

"What? More than 500 meters? I couldn't help but look at the black face in surprise, not only me, but the other warriors were a little incredulous. It is not easy to hit a target more than 500 meters away during the day, not to mention that it is still at night when the light is not good.

But seeing that the black face nodded seriously, we had to believe it.

Mother, it's worthy of a rifle regiment, the marksmanship is really fucking different, I couldn't help but curse in my heart.

The so-called rifle regiment does not refer to the British soldiers who actually have those old rifles in their hands, but to the fact that they were the first units to be equipped with rifles in the whole army, and the story goes back to the time when they fought against the Indians. Each of them was dressed in an all-green uniform, wearing a cowboy hat, armed with rifles, and straddled their horses to fight with the Indians across the plains.

Later, this unit has been developing into a modern rifle regiment, and its biggest feature is that it has inherited the advantages of its ancestors' good marksmanship. Its officers and soldiers wore a special emblem on their uniforms: a ferocious green tiger. He is also said to have participated in the Normandy landings under Montgomery......

I couldn't help but look at the M1C sniper rifle in my hand, and I knew what Xu Feng was doing when he was in a hurry to find me. The chief of staff of the division mentioned in the black-faced hole was sacrificed under the enemy's cold gun, and if he could hit the target with one shot from 500 meters away at night, the other party must be a sniper.

The best way to deal with snipers is snipers, and in the Korean War, the volunteers did not have snipers in the actual sense at all, at most they were "sharpshooters" with better marksmanship. And I showed good marksmanship in the first few battles, so Xu Feng naturally thought of me as soon as he encountered such a problem.

The gunfire was getting closer and closer, and the number of people was increasing, and to my surprise, I saw groups of soldiers wearing Korean People's Army uniforms, and several cars parked on the side of the road, and there were some things on them that I didn't know what they were.

Can I handle him? I thought as I ran, and although I hadn't seen the man yet, I seemed to have sensed the presence of a killer in the darkness on the other side, an invisible killer with a rifle in his hand, his eyes looking at me through the crosshair on the scope, and his fingers lightly resting on the trigger......
