Chapter 40 Artillery

In a way, I probably shouldn't have called the British troops in front of me "British" at this time. "Because I know. At this time, the British army had become part of the "First Division of the Commonwealth".

According to the division of weapons and equipment, it can be roughly divided into British and American. For example, the Philippine battalion, the 21st Thai regiment, the Greek, Belgian battalion and other *** countries are equipped with all 'color' American equipment, while the Canadian brigade is British equipment.

At the beginning, the joint forces also used these units equipped with British weapons and the US military 'mixed' together, and there were even cases where British and American armed forces jointly defended the same position. However, everyone knows that the problem of 'mixing' and 'disorderly' supply of troops with different weapons and equipment is prone to arise. So after the end of the Fifth Campaign, the "First Division of the Commonwealth" was finally formed.

The so-called "First Division of the British Commonwealth" is actually all the units that use British equipment into a division, and it is said that there are all of them, but in fact there are only the British Flying Brigade, the Feather Brigade, the Canadian 25th Brigade, plus small units such as Australia and New Zealand. The total strength reached more than 20,000 people. It can be called a strong combat unit.

Needless to say, the British army's inferior brigade and feather brigade are not to mention. They are all recognized as aces in the world, and they are already my old rivals, so I know them all too well. In particular, the British troops went out of the brigade. When I think of this number, I will think of the "Royal Rifle Regiment of England" with whom I once 'fought'. and the "Royal Heavy Tank Battalion" that I paid a heavy price for. "Then there is the Royal Gloucester Battalion, which resists the attack of a volunteer army for several days and nights."

Although in previous battles, these troops almost always ended in total annihilation, but their strong combat effectiveness is not doubted. Even the volunteer fighters who were their enemies admitted it. Many veterans of the Volunteer Army after returning to China sighed: "We are all British soldiers called bearded soldiers, all of them are bearded and scum, they can fight, and their marksmanship is accurate!" ”

But now. Although the unit in front of him was also holding the British Army's Lee Enfield rifles, and it was also a team advancing under the cover of British tanks, its formation was scattered, and it did not show the nervous appearance of the British Army as soon as it entered the battlefield, but made people feel lazy and lazy. Even in the sniper scope, I saw a few soldiers who were following the tanks with their guns in their hands, and at the same time 'smoking' cigarettes indifferently."

"This is what you call the most combat-ready British army?" Li Pinghe put down the binoculars and couldn't help but look at me with some doubt.

"I don't think so!" I shook my head and said, "It should be the Canadian brigade!" ”

"Canadian Brigade?" Li Pinghe looked a little confused when he heard it, and then said with a wry smile: "Captain Cui, how do you seem to know everything!" To be honest, our Political Investigation Office is also connected with the 'door' of the Ministry of Intelligence, but even so, I still have a feeling that you seem to know everything on the battlefield very well, much more than I know! ”

"Hmm". I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard this, and hurriedly replied pretending to be relaxed: "If you fight more on the battlefield, the more enemies you will see, the more you will know!" Besides, I'm just guessing, isn't it? That's not necessarily true."

"Rest assured". Hearing me say this, Li Pinghe couldn't help but laugh and said: "I am no longer the director of the Political Examination Department, but the political commissar of the bracelet group. You don't have to be so careful when you speak! Are you afraid that I will arrest you and interrogate you again? ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook my head and said: "Political Commissar Li, you can stay on this battlefield for a few more days to know, our soldiers are fighting here, and every minute and every second is playing with their lives!" Look at our warriors

As I spoke, I glanced at the soldiers lying in the trenches, and then said: "They have suffered and shed blood and sacrificed here, have they ever shouted bitterness and tiredness? You don't know, these soldiers have been fighting with me for days and nights, and my regiment has only been pulled out for a few days, and half of the brothers have died, do you know? We're crawling out of the pile of dead people, and we haven't had a day off, and we're not going to the battlefield again! You saw it too. Did they say a word of complaint? There is a "no" that says. Words? However, even if this is the case, some of them still have to be examined by your political examination office, and they still have to 'confess' their problems and be frank and lenient, especially the comrades who are in a hurry

"Captain Cui". Li Pinghe interrupted me and said: "This is a matter of principle, I admit that sometimes we will wronged some good comrades, and these situations are also difficult to avoid, but in order to ensure that there are no traitors in our ranks."

"I didn't say that you guys were wrong to check traitors, but at least you don't 'mess' with your hats!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little angry: "As long as you are objective and practical, our comrades will not fight and die on the battlefield, and we will have to be tried when we go back."

"Captain Cui!" At this time, Liu Shunyi ran up and reminded: "The enemy is coming up, and the soldiers are waiting for your order!" ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, I realized that I was on the battlefield now, and the enemy was in front of me, so it was really not suitable to have a conflict with the political commissar at this time, so I couldn't help but take a deep breath and said to Li Pinghe: If there is any problem, I will talk about 4 stumbling and solving the paint. Now after the battle! ”

"Hmm!" Li Pinghe's face is also a little unsightly. But I also knew that it was an extraordinary time, so I didn't dispute my words, nodded and stopped talking.

"Captain Cui!" Liu Shunyi lay beside me, pointed behind him and introduced to me: "This is Staff Officer Li sent to us by the artillery unit. Division Commander Pang said that if you need artillery assistance, you can discuss it with this Chief of Staff Li! ”

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and then I noticed that Liu Shunyi was followed by two volunteer soldiers, a middle-aged soldier with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a mouth full of beard scum, followed by a young soldier with a walkie-talkie on his back and a school gun mirror in his hand. Presumably an artillery observer. "Captain Cui!" Because it was on the front line, they didn't dare to salute me, but nodded at me and said, "My name is Li Yan, and my superiors have asked us to fight with you, so that we can contact the artillery unit when you need artillery assistance." I should have come to report to you a long time ago, but I had another meeting at the last minute

"It's okay, it's okay! Welcome, comrades! It's great to have you come to fight with us, I hope that the stars and the moon have finally given you up, and I can't help but be happy when I hear that there is also the assistance of the rear artillery, and I can only say all the compliments I can think of.

What is the God of Wealth! In modern society, the rich boss is the God of Wealth, but on the battlefield, the comrades of this artillery are our God of Wealth!

"That Deputy Head Liu!" Seeing that the military situation was urgent, I hurriedly ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Why don't you hurry up and bring these two artillery comrades to the regiment headquarters and entertain them well! ”

Just kidding, if something happens to these two comrades of the artillery unit on the battlefield, then I will suffer a lot of losses, and I have to supply them anyway!

"No!" To my surprise, Chief of Staff Li refused: "Commander Cui, we didn't come here to drink tea and look at maps in the tunnel. We're going to provide you with artillery assistance at the right time, so we can't stay in the tunnels! ”

"That's right!" Hearing this, I embarrassedly 'touched' my head, thinking that I was really confused, if I really hid these two artillery observers in the tunnel, then the artillery behind me would still play a ball!

Look at the Commonwealth soldiers who are attacking us. It's really called that slow, everyone follows the tank and walks forward unhurriedly, as if they are walking in their own yard. So until now, we are still more than a thousand meters away.

It is said that after the artillery fire is prepared, it is generally used as quickly as possible to seize the place that has been bombarded by the artillery fire just now, so that the artillery fire preparation is meaningful. But this army was so leisurely that it seemed to think that a small hill like ours would never be anything alive after being bombarded like this by artillery fire!

But it doesn't seem that they can be blamed for this, who made the British "Churchill" infantry tank notoriously slow! It is said that the maximum speed of this infantry tank is only 10,000 kilometers per hour, which is a notch slower than the so-called "stupid" King Tiger tank Nujifan.

What kind of idea is this speed? You just have to imagine that this tank is at maximum power. It can't catch up with our modern electric car, you know what it is."

"Captain Cui!" Li Yan raised the telescope and observed for a while before he said: "Do you think we are using artillery fire to block the 'shooting' attack?" The enemy is so slow, we have time to inflict a massive kill on them before they get close to our lines! ”

"Good! Let's also see how powerful the artillery comrades are! Strike hard at the arrogance of the enemy! Li Pinghe said excitedly.

"No!" I shook my head and denied, "Artillery is our magic weapon!" At this time, the enemy did not yet know that we had artillery to join the battle. That's why it's such a reassuring offense. The so-called good steel should be used on the blade, if we use artillery fire on the enemy now, it will be too early to *** our strength, and the enemy will be guarded. In addition, the unit in front of me does not look like the main force of the enemy, and it will not be difficult for us to deal with them, so I don't think we should use artillery fire for the time being! ”

"Agreed!" Hearing me say this, Li Yan, Li Pinghe and others quickly agreed.

Li Pinghe even glanced at me with admiration: "It's still Captain Cui who is thoughtful, so I will do what Captain Cui wants!" ”

This is also the reason why my attitude towards Li Pinghe has changed, although this guy is sometimes annoying, as long as he realizes that he is wrong, he will not die, and he will soon admit his mistake.

"Chief of Staff Lee!" Then I quickly said to Li Yan: "Since we have decided not to use artillery in this battle, then the two of you should go to the regiment headquarters with Deputy Commander Liu to avoid it!" ”

"This," Li Dian still didn't want to get out of the line of fire, this was an old tradition of the Volunteer Army, even the wounded soldiers were unwilling to leave the line of fire. And how much more are they?

"No need for this, that!" I smiled and persuaded: "For the sake of us to better fight the enemy, for our better coordination, the two of you will follow my orders!" I'll go to you if you need to, in case you do

Speaking of this, I stopped my mouth and smiled at Li Dark. It is taboo to say this on the battlefield, anyway, everyone knows it. The horn means that they are on the battlefield! Seriously injured or dead, the Fengchuan Office had no way to coordinate with the artillery unit.

"Obey orders!" Li Dian also felt that what I said made sense, nodded at me, and ran back to the regiment headquarters with Deputy Regiment Commander Liu. To my surprise, Li Pinghe also followed them to the regiment headquarters without a word...

Coward? I couldn't help but wonder when I saw this. That's what you just said! Why did you hide in the blink of an eye? I heard that he was the runner-up in the 'shooting' competition, and I still had the heart to compare with him, but I didn't expect him, but it didn't seem like it, because I had never seen anyone who fled back into the tunnel with a trace of shame on his face. Whatever! Once again, I set my eyes on the enemy in front of me!

One kilometer.

Then I could see clearly that in the 'hair' of this clear day, I could clearly see the appearance of the enemy in the scope, and I could be sure that they were not well-trained British soldiers, for some of them did not even wear helmets, but only randomly hung berets on their heads, some of which were still red. I don't know what the Canadian soldier in the red beret is, but one thing is for sure, he won't survive the fight, and his conspicuous red 'color' hat will almost have sentenced him to death.

Eight hundred meters!

It should be said that except for the US military, all the soldiers sent to the Korean battlefield by the other co-workers were selected from veterans who had fought in the war, and first, they were sent for the sake of national honor, and the soldiers who could not be put on the stage were sent out to make other countries laugh. The second is also to be able to have a more survival rate on the battlefield.

The Canadian 25th Brigade is no exception. They are also veterans of World War II, but in World War II, Canadian soldiers have long been said that they are not trained strictly and are not suitable for war.

Six hundred meters!

It is said that when the Japanese army was about to attack Hong Kong, in order to strengthen the garrison there, the Commonwealth countries decided to send Canadian troops to reinforce it. The Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian Federal Forces sent a Brigadier General Roson to inspect his troops. The brigadier general used a wealth of data to conclude that although these people were soldiers, they were not well trained, and it was okay to look at the prisoners. Ironically, the command of the Joint Defense Forces then ordered Brigadier General Roson to be the commander. He led two battalions, the Royal Canadian Rifle Battalion and the Winnipeg Grenadier Battalion, to Hong Kong. Approximately, there is also the meaning of not convincing the Brigadier General's conclusions, and let him verify it for himself. As a result, the defense of Hong Kong failed, and most of the Canadian officers and soldiers who came to reinforce became prisoners, and Roberto Rosen devoted himself to his duties and died on the battlefield, which can be regarded as defending his evaluation of the Canadian Army with his life.

We are now facing such an army, so after knowing that it is the Canadian Brigade in front of us, I don't think there is any need to 'waste' our shells and prematurely *** our strength.

Four hundred meters.

At this time, Li Ping and the cat ran up with their waists. He had a Mosin Nagant rifle in his hand and raised his gun in the trench without saying a word, which made me realize that he had just gone down to look for a gun. Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh secretly, it seems that I am not the only one who wants to give it a try! Not to mention, his posture is really a bit good, but the way he is aiming with glasses makes me feel a little awkward no matter how I look at it. I think he should have been short-sighted after entering the Political Tribunal! Wearing glasses and aiming will affect you anyway......

Li Pinghe came at the right time! The Canadian brigades began to charge when they saw that we were not far away, and the tanks were at full speed, kicking up clouds of dust and exhaust and rushing towards us, and the high-altitude machine gunners on the tanks fired a shuttle of bullets at us from time to time. But in addition to its notoriously "slow" "slowness", the "Churchill" infantry tank also had a disadvantage in that it used low-cost small-diameter load wheels, which caused it to be surprisingly bumpy. It's like a car without shock absorbers. So the high-altitude 'fired' machine gun on the moving "Churchill" tank was not accurate at all. Bullets are flying all over the sky.

The infantry who followed behind also bent down and began to charge towards our position, watching them rush up with their guns very skillful, at a glance they knew that they were veterans of battle, but for some reason, looking at their formation, they did not have the same pressure as when facing the British army.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and at last when it was still more than two hundred meters from our heights, the tank finally reached an impassable hillside and stopped. That's when the Heavy up there was able to catch his breath, and they could finally take aim with confidence. It's just that at this point, I think they've been so dizzy from the damn tank that they can't see the crosshairs......

The Canadian infantry who followed behind also had some courage, and they did not hesitate to climb over the tanks towards our position with their guns in hand, and the speed was 'quite 'strong', and there were more than 1,000 people in the black press.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh secretly, the total strength of this Canadian brigade in North Korea is only more than 5,000 people, and I think that as long as this one blow can make them suffer heavy damage. Because what was waiting for them on this hill was not an ordinary volunteer soldier. It's a battle-hardened nephew!

Finally, they broke into our 100-meter range. It's time for us to start harvesting the lives of our enemies.
