Chapter 418: The more you fight, the stronger you get

Forty minutes later, when Lieutenant Colonel Wharton led the main force of the armored battle group of the US 1st Cavalry Division to the Kobayashi River crossing, all eyes could see were piles of tank wreckage that had been beaten into scrap metal and a corpse with cold blood stains.

Occasionally, he encountered a few wounded soldiers wearing bandages, and their faces were also dull, as if they had lost their souls, and they were at the mercy of the American soldiers who came with him.

The battle of the Kobayashi River Ferry, which lasted less than half an hour, finally ended with a crushing defeat of the A armored battle group of the 2nd Armored Battalion of the 1st Cavalry Division of the US Army.

During the campaign, all eight M26 heavy tanks belonging to the A armored battle group were destroyed, four of the ten half-track armored transporters were destroyed, and the rest were all captured by the volunteers and turned into mounts for the Chinese, and their mobility was enhanced like never before.

So much so that after receiving Lieutenant Jason's distress call, Lieutenant Colonel Wharton hurried to hurry, and could only eat a nose of dust, no way, after getting six half-track armored vehicles, the heavy firepower company that could only march on the soles of its feet could exchange shotguns for guns and sit on the fast-moving motor vehicles.

Coupled with the armored assault group composed of more than a dozen T-34 tanks, this Chinese army, which was besieged by him not long ago, has now become a composite battle group of armored mechanized troops with extremely strong combat effectiveness, but in terms of mobility, it is not weaker than the US army, how can Wharton catch up?

If this unit continues to move northward, it will be fine, and if it suddenly turns around and carries out an armored assault on the flank of the US army on the west side, it will not be a simple tactical impact, and it is very likely to cause unprecedented damage to the strategic plan of the US army to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Volunteer Army.

You must know that the power of an armored mechanized unit to synthesize a battle group is not as simple as one plus one equals two, if it is played well, not to mention those allied soldiers who lack experience in armored combat, even the ace armored unit in his hands that has gone through the smoke of World War II must also be treated with caution, otherwise there will be a danger of defeat and collapse if one is not done well.

A armored battle group is the best example of this!

Of course, there is another reason that only he knows, that is, the strong interest in the weapons and equipment of the Chinese army, especially the so-called new Soviet tank, after easily destroying the M26 heavy tank, Wharton included it in his "specimen" list, saying that he had to get his hands on it!

"It can't go on like this!"

In the face of the Chinese army, which is getting bigger and stronger and stronger, Lieutenant Colonel Wharton finally made up his mind to completely wipe out this unreasonable Chinese army no matter what......

"Bastard! Jason is a bastard enough, Williams is even more bastard than him, he didn't fire a shot, looked at the approaching Chinese tank from a distance, and ran away, and the good second blocking line was gone! ”

Just as Lieutenant Colonel Wharton made up his mind and was about to order the staff officers accompanying him to issue orders, Major Cabreno, the commander of the 2nd Armored Battalion, came over with a loud voice, and when he saw Lieutenant Colonel Wharton, he threw the half of the cigar cigarette in his mouth to the ground, and shouted angrily: "Lieutenant Colonel, I ask that Williams be sent to court-martial...... Be sure to be court-court-merial! ”

Looking at the angry Major Cabreno, Wharton's face was also at a loss, wondering how Major Williams from the British Seventh Brigade provoked the commander of the 2nd Armored Battalion, who had won a great battle.

Fortunately, the staff officer beside him was able, and he quickly told him the reason for the inside, and it was okay not to listen, and when he heard it, Lieutenant Colonel Wharton's face immediately sank and almost dripped water.

It turned out that among the two American forces that carried out the large-depth outflanking, there was also a British unit under the command of Major Williams, a staff officer of the British Seventh Brigade Command.

There were not many of them, but because of the high degree of mechanization, they had quite strong combat capabilities, so in the midst of outflanking in depth, Major Williams was arranged to establish a barricade line between Lieutenant Jason's Armored Battle Group A and Captain Brooklyn's Armored Battle Group D.

With such a three-layer blockade, coupled with the full-speed pursuit of the main force, it was difficult for the Chinese army's tanks to leave safely, but it was not expected that the battle at the Kobayashi River Ferry would not only wipe out the US armored battle group A, but also completely frightened the British army more than 20 kilometers away.

Originally, they were following the ass of the U.S. army and trying to pick up the cheap, but Na Cheng thought that the Chinese army that broke through the encirclement was like a chicken blood, and the more they fought, the stronger they became, and half of the infantry needed to walk on two legs at the Xiaolin River crossing.

As a result, after the first battle, all the soldiers sat in the carriages, as if they had become mechanized infantry with the ability to quickly advance and attack.

At this time, Major Williams's heart began to grow, and even the most elite American troops were like paper paste in front of this Chinese army, and they could be broken at the slightest stab.

How could their British troops, who had just been defeated not long ago, withstand the attack of the Chinese, knowing that the heavy firepower company at that time relied only on flesh and blood to drive their British 7th Brigade from near the 38th parallel to the city of Seoul.

Major Williams's somewhat devoid head could not have imagined the current heavy firepower of tanks, armoured vehicles, half-track transporters, and large quantities of captured fuel and ammunition.

No matter how unimaginable, one thing is certain, that is, the British army under his command is not an opponent at all, and instead of fighting with the Chinese and increasing casualties, it is better to avoid its edge so as to leave some precious seeds for the British Empire!

So Major Williams didn't even blink an eye, and in Lieutenant Jason's expectant gaze, he shouted with a wave of his big hand: "Withdraw!" ”

In this way, without firing a shot, the British army surrendered the second line of defense that had just been established to the Chinese, which made Lieutenant Jason, who had finally escaped here and was ready to fight back, very angry, but the British ran faster than rabbits, and before he could come to his senses, the people had already run north with one foot on the accelerator.

What else can Lieutenant Jason do? It also took a lot of effort for him to rob a jeep with a signal soldier under the onslaught of the Chinese army, and he narrowly escaped with his life.

Now that the reinforcements he was counting on had fled without a fight, would he let him drive a little jeep to the snow? Come on, let's run!

So Lieutenant Jason also kicked the accelerator and fled in the direction of the D armored battle group, of course, in the process, he did not forget to use the radio carried by the signal corps, and told his superior, Major Cabreno, the British!

"Bang~~"

Lieutenant Colonel Wharton, who learned the details, slammed his hammer-sized fist on the jeep hatch on the side, and then turned to the staff officer on the side with a gloomy face, and roared in extreme annoyance: "Have you contacted Williams's troops?" ”

The staff officer responded tremblingly: "I've been contacted!" ”

"What do they say?"

"They say that China's armored mechanized battle group is too powerful, and if there is no air support, I am afraid it will not be able to stop it, so ......"

"Okay, then I'll give him air support!" After speaking, Lieutenant Colonel Wharton grabbed the radio station in charge of air-ground liaison and asked without questioning: "Have you replaced the ammunition...... In that case, let's get started! ”
