"Boom~~Boom~~Boom~~"

The dense shells rained down on the improvised fortifications that had just been established by the heavy fire company, and the smoke and dust were billowing and the earth was flying, especially the two commanding heights on the east side of Highway 18, which were taken care of by the British artillery, so that the originally lush mounds were instantly smashed into scorched earth by the fierce artillery fire.

At the same time, the 12 carrier-based attack planes of the British Royal Navy's "Victory" and "Dayang" cruising off the west coast of Korea converged with 16 bombers of the 16th Tactical Strike Group of the British Air Force, and under the escort of eight US F-86 fighters, they began to carry out high-intensity air strikes on the advance depth of a certain main division of the Chinese People's Volunteers, one step ahead of the armored battle group of the Royal Tank Battalion.

While disrupting the deployment of the Volunteer Army's troops, further destroying the command and logistical supply system of the Volunteer Army, especially the supply of front-line positions, is the key target of these air forces.

Of course, close air support for ground forces is naturally indispensable, but the British army does not have the same amount of money and depth as the US military, and can put in as many combat planes in depth and in the front line, so the British army can only use the main force of the air force to strike at targets of greater value in depth, and as for the close ground support at the front of the position, the degree is naturally much weaker.

But Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton didn't care about this, according to his estimates, the Chinese army in front of him was at least out of food for more than a day, based on which he believed that the most important thing now was to let the Chinese troops on the position not get a grain of food, a bullet, so that the main division of the Chinese army could be annihilated with thunder.

Therefore, he preferred not to use these planes to strengthen the positions of the Chinese troops in front of him, but to further increase the intensity of air strikes on the rear supply lines of the Chinese army.

As for how to break through the defensive line held by the heavy fire company in front of him and break into the back of a main division of the Volunteer Army, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton didn't pay much attention to it at all, although through this period of fighting, he had to admit that the heavy fire company did have two brushes, but in the case of not having enough to eat, how long could the soldiers of the heavy fire company hold on?

Perhaps they have a strong willpower and can fight hard with those recoilless guns with outstanding performance, but the problem is that the 83.5mm tank gun on the "Centurion" MK3 tank tank is also not vegetarian, which has been proven in several encounters between the two forces.

The recoilless artillery of the heavy fire company is very sharp, and even has strong anti-tank capabilities, but the problem is that the "Centurion" MK3 tank is far stronger than the recoilless artillery in the hands of the heavy fire company, both in range and in the observation and aiming system.

So much so that when it was discovered that the soldiers of the heavy fire company were preparing to aim at the British tanks from a long distance with recoilless guns, the "Centurion" MK3 would take the lead in counterattacking.

The reason why the "Centurion" MK3 tank was able to anticipate the enemy's opportunity in such a way was that the powerful artillery power of the British army really contributed to it, because whenever the "Centurion" MK3 tank broke through, howitzers and mortars of various calibers were like iron plows plowing the ground, combing the road inside and out.

Even if the gunners of the heavy fire company hide deep enough, they will be blown out under the heavy smashing of the shells, and even become the best target for the "Centurion" MK3 tank to direct fire.

It was precisely by relying on this tactic that Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton completely turned the recoilless guns that the heavy firepower company relied on into useless broken pipes, not to mention that he almost destroyed all the recoilless guns in a surprise operation.

Because of this, when he learned that the heavy fire company had come to block his offensive and thus take time to adjust the deployment of troops for a certain main division of the Volunteer Army, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton was not a headache, but an unusually joyful.

Because he knows very well what the heavy firepower company means to the entire Chinese army, as long as he defeats this difficult opponent, it will not only relieve the hatred in his heart these days, but also declare to the whole world that even the most elite troops in China can only be completely destroyed when facing the real trump card of the British Empire!

Because of this, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton's fighting spirit can be said to be extremely high!

……

Tang Jixian's fighting spirit is also burning!

During this period of time, he commanded the heavy firepower to fight several times with the British Royal Tank Battalion, not only did he not get any benefits, but he also suffered a lot of losses, which made Tang Jixian hold his breath in his heart.

Therefore, when he learned that the reinforced Royal Tank Battalion had suddenly launched a counterattack and broken through the defensive line of the 2nd Garrison Division in the Korean capital, penetrating deep into his own side, intending to cut off the rear of a certain main division.

Tang Jixian volunteered to stop the royal tank battalion from continuing to advance.

At that time, the commander of a certain main division was still a little hesitant, after all, in the past period of time, the heavy firepower company did not fight very well in the confrontation with the British Royal Tank Battalion.

Therefore, I am very worried about what to do once the heavy firepower cannot withstand the Royal Tank Battalion, after all, this will not only affect the progress of the battle of a certain main division, but also cause the strategic planning of the entire fifth battle to become irretrievable!

However, in the end, the commander of a certain main division still agreed to Tang Jixian's request, without him, just because Tang Jixian gave him enough confidence, a confidence that was shameful and courageous!

It's just that Tang Jixian's confidence can infect the commander of a certain main division, but it can't infect everyone, just like the comrade Park Bong-young, who had just escaped from the British offensive, when he learned that only such a unit as a heavy firepower company could withstand the sharp attack of the British Royal Tank Battalion, the whole person was not good.

He had witnessed with his own eyes how terrifying the British Royal Tank Battalion, which had been reinforced by many arms, especially when the dozen or so "Centurion" MK3 tanks rushed over, it was like a sea of mountains, if he hadn't dodged in time, it was estimated that he would have been crushed into meatloaf by the heavy tracks.

But after experiencing that bloody killing, Park Bong-young had already lost his fighting spirit, and he thought that when he ran to the defense area of the Chinese army, he would be temporarily safe.

Unexpectedly, the Chinese side only sent a heavy firepower company of less than 300 people to block the British Royal Tank Battalion, which was fighting against the sky, and even in the case of a serious shortage of logistical supplies, the heavy firepower did not even have the qualifications to serve the British Royal Tank Battalion as a dish.

You must know that even the North Korean elite Second Garrison Division can't stop it, and if China wants to use a little more heavy firepower than the reinforced company, it wants to stop the crazy John Bull, which is just a pipe dream and science fiction!

So out of good intentions, Park Bong-young shook his head and persuaded Tang Jixian: "Comrade Jixian, your little strength can't stop the British at all, and your rations are estimated to have been cut off, so I advise you not to waste your time here, unless the main force of a certain main division comes here, maybe there is still the possibility of a war, otherwise it will not help at all......"

"Who said we were out of food?"

Without waiting for Park Bong-young to finish speaking, Old Tang smiled proudly at him, and immediately took out a field compressed ration from his pocket and threw it to Park Bong-young: "Eat this compressed ration quickly, even if it can't fill your stomach, it's enough to block your stinky mouth!" ”

Park Fengying took the piece of compressed dry food, ate two bites, and looked at it carefully for a long time, and her face gradually became extremely exciting......
