The British counterattack began!

Unlike the previous petty fights, this time Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton made a lot of money, not counting all the 16 "Centurion" MK3 tanks he belonged to, and was also reinforced by two infantry companies belonging to the Gnahausen Infantry Battalion and one of six 105mm and four 155mm guns belonging to the Royal Artillery Regiment of Scotland.

Together with some engineering troops, related support detachments, etc., to form the most effective synthetic assault combat programming of the British Army since World War II - the Royal Tank Battalion Armored Battle Group!

Its operational intent is also obvious, that is, to take advantage of the lack of materials of the Volunteer Army, to use sharp multi-arms armored assault and coordinated operations to tear apart the Chinese and North Korean coalition forces that are on the right side, and then develop an offensive to the far-reaching rear, completely cutting off the rear road of a certain main division of the Volunteer Army.

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

The intent is simple and clear, the composition is mature and reliable, and the specific tactical implementation is even clearer, although this kind of far-reaching assault and roundabout outflanking tactics of armored composite battle groups was pioneered by the German army during World War II, and it has always been heavily damaged by the Allies.

However, as the so-called long-term illness becomes a good doctor, they have been beaten a lot, and they also know the routine of beating people, and the British, who have been ravaged by the German army in the North African desert for several years with this method of warfare, have gradually learned the essence of it, and successfully applied it to the counteroffensive against Germany at the end of the war.

Therefore, this set of tactics is not unfamiliar to the British soldiers in the armored battle group of the Royal Tank Battalion, but is so familiar that they do not need their commander Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton to arrange too much, they themselves know where to be, how to cooperate, and even find the breakthrough point is very accurate and vicious, and this is the advantage of World War II veterans.

And so, the armored battle group of the Royal Tank Battalion began to go crazy!

The first to bear the brunt was the right flank of a certain main division of the Volunteer Army, which was the 2nd Garrison Division of the Korean Capital that took over the heavy losses of the 1st Korean Army.

There is no way, it is really the first army of the Korean People's Army is too unreliable, not to mention the loss of a main battalion in the attack on Gwangpyeong-dong, and the heavy artillery and rocket artillery belonging to it were all destroyed, and then it was defeated by the royal tank battalion that carried out a counter-assault.

Even the Volunteers with the flanks were greatly threatened, and had to postpone the expansion of the breach in Gwangpyeong-dong and make every effort to deal with the counterattack of the Royal Tank Battalion, which led to the successful escape of most of the British army from the encirclement of the Volunteers.

In just two wars, this elite unit of the Korean People's Army behaved like this, not to mention that a certain main division of the Volunteer Army adjacent to it was not at ease, and even the First Army Corps of the DPRK itself had no face to stay on the front line anymore, so it reported to the Command of the Volunteer Army and the top level of the DPRK to transfer the First Army Corps of the DPRK, which had suffered serious losses in the battle, from the first line to the reserve of the second line.

As for the vacancy left by it, it was filled by the Second Garrison Division of the North Korean capital, but such a North Korean division obviously could not undertake the task of covering the flank of a certain main division of the Volunteer Army, but at this time, the front stretching from the western front to the eastern front and stretching across the entire Korean Peninsula had already become a pot of porridge, and the headquarters of the Volunteer Army could not spare too many troops for a moment and a half to strengthen the flank of a certain main division.

In desperation, he could only pull out the big one in the middle of the army, and combine the second garrison division of the North Korean capital, which was even better than the first Korean army, with a few North Korean troops that had not suffered serious losses as a strengthening force, to form a covering group and arrange it on the flank of a certain main division of the Volunteer Army, so that he could barely shoulder the heavy responsibility of covering the attack of the Volunteer Army.

In the past few days, along with a certain main division, it has fought a few tailwind battles without danger, and has won quite a lot, but compared with the elite units of the volunteer army with actual combat experience such as the heavy firepower company, the equipment of the Second Garrison Division of the DPRK Capital is very sophisticated, but the experience of those newly recruited North Korean soldiers in combat is obviously much worse.

It is mainly manifested in the consumption of materials, veterans with combat experience can wait for the enemy to approach without panic, and concentrate firepower to destroy it, so that not only the firepower is extremely strong in an instant, but the ammunition consumed is also very limited.

However, the new recruits who have just entered the battlefield, due to nervousness and fear, often just see the shadow of the enemy and begin to shoot and fire cannons, not only is it difficult to concentrate firepower, but the consumption of ammunition is also very huge, coupled with the huge consumption of the continuous combat system, resulting in a much larger amount of food than usual.

More importantly, the Second Garrison Division of the North Korean capital did not make much improvement in terms of rations, and the old-fashioned fried noodles of the Volunteer Army were still used, with some kimchi and rice balls at most, instead of efficient field compression rations, because the rations of the Second Garrison Division of the North Korean Capital Garrison were already stretched thin at this time.

At this moment, the armored battle group of the Royal Tank Battalion commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton suddenly pounced on them, and although the Second Garrison Division of the North Korean Capital Garrison fought to the death with the armored battle group of the Royal Tank Battalion with great sacrifices, under the sharp offensive of the armored battle group of the Royal Tank Battalion, the Second Garrison Division of the North Korean Capital Garrison, which was inexperienced, tactically dull, and had begun to starve, could not withstand it at all.

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

Fortunately, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton's target was not the weak North Korean troops, but a certain main division of the Volunteer Army on the flank, because when it successfully broke through the direction of the 2nd Garrison Division in the DPRK capital, the armored battle group of the Royal Tank Battalion commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton did not entangle with it at all, but advanced at high speed to the depth of the north at high speed, and only then did the 2nd Garrison Division of the DPRK Capital gain a glimmer of life.

However, the Second Garrison Division of the DPRK Capital, as an elite combat force in the Korean People's Army, no longer exists......

However, at this time, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton did not have the heart to deal with the North Koreans who wanted to cry without tears, at this time he was holding a few shriveled fried noodle bags, which his soldiers had just captured from the North Korean soldiers, without exception, they were all empty, even if there were a few still some stocks, the quantity was very scarce, even if they were added together, it was estimated that it would not be enough for a meal.

Seeing this, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton was even more determined, and immediately took two puffs of the pipe in his hand, threw a few fried noodle bags in front of him under the command tank, and looked even more proud, and immediately said disdainfully to the staff officers beside him: "The rations of the North Korean soldiers are generally much more than that of the Chinese soldiers, but now even the North Korean soldiers are starting to go hungry, and it should be uncomfortable compared to those Chinese soldiers, so ......."

Saying that, the corners of Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton's mouth curved a cruel arc, and he nodded elegantly: "Then let the Chinese see the true combat effectiveness of our British Imperial Army!" ”

The staff officer also nodded confidently, and then conveyed Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton's order to attack through the radio, and then felt the ground tremble, and the six 105mm and four 155mm heavy guns belonging to the armored battle group of the Royal Tank Battalion began to roar in unison, and in an instant, the raindrops of shells shot into the air, and immediately fell on the position of the heavy fire company......

The real combat effectiveness of the British army began to break out!
