"Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton, look ......"

Forty minutes later, after several rounds of artillery preparation and the arrival of a dozen "Centurion" MK3 tanks, and after confirming that the solid offensive of several heavy fire companies on both sides of Route 18 had been destroyed, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton ordered the accompanying infantry to attack.

Immediately, a platoon of British troops roared towards a high ground and captured it with great success, followed by the second, third, and fourth...... After taking the last high ground, the British infantry in charge of the charge did not even shoot a few bullets from their guns, let alone fight.

So much so that their long-accumulating offensive was like a mighty armed march, which made the British soldiers who had to participate in the war both excited and proud, and only felt that the sense of honor of the British Empire, which had been glorious for a hundred years, filled their hearts again, otherwise why did those Chinese not even have the least resistance, abandon their positions and flee directly to the wind?

There were many British soldiers who thought so, but Major Enfield, chief of operations of the British Seventh Brigade Staff, who was accompanying Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton, was very worried about such an unusual behavior of the Chinese army.

So after inspecting several positions of the Chinese army, he pointed to a few trenches and fortifications that had been beaten beyond the face by British artillery fire, and said worriedly to Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton, who came with him: "These trenches are only about one meter and a half deep, and the fortifications are only a layer of wooden planks and thick soil......

"What do you want to say, sir?"

Seeing that this staff officer from the rear headquarters was about to talk about those brain-distressing truths again, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton waved his hand impatiently: "Then be concise and to the point, because in a few minutes, I will launch an attack on a main division of the Chinese army!" ”

In the face of Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton's arrogant demeanor based on inflatedness, Major Enfield did not take it to heart, but responded to himself: "Very simply, all kinds of evidence show that this may be a maze array arranged by the Chinese!" ”

"Hahaha~~~"

Before Major Enfield could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton's arrogant laughter: "Ecstasy? Hahaha~~~ Mr. Major, to put it mildly, the funniest burlesque at the London Theatre is nothing more than that, you say it's a Ecstasy, let me see that it is the Chinese soldiers who are hungry and faint; Otherwise, how do you explain those things? ”

As he spoke, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton pointed to a few empty chow mein bags not far from the fortifications, as well as sections of branches and weeds that had been stripped off their bark: "Obviously, those Chinese troops have long been cut off from rations and can only feed their hunger with bark and wild vegetables, so they ......"

With that, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton put his bronzed pipe in his mouth again, exhaled two puffs of light smoke, and then continued dismissively: "I would like to ask you, dear Major Enfield, if you are so hungry and cold, do you still have the strength to dig deep trenches, thicken the offensive, and even fight with all your might?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the officers of the surrounding British Royal Tank Battalion burst into laughter, and Major Enfield's fair face was even more pale in the loud ridicule of everyone, but he could not say a word, after all, the judgment that the Chinese army was completely out of food was not a dictatorial act made by Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton alone.

It was the consensus of the Seventh Brigade of the British Army, and even the entire Union Army, of course, including his staff officer, Major Enfield, so from the bottom of his heart, he also felt that the Chinese army could not fight because of hunger, but out of the prudence and rigor of the staff officers themselves, they always had to think more about unreasonable things, so they issued a warning in order to show that he was different, but he did not expect to get such a result.

So, in shame, Major Enfield was eager to find a crack in the ground at once, so he made an excuse that he was not feeling well, and hurried away.

Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton looked at the back of Major Enfield's departure, and pursed his lips disdainfully, not to mention this kind of insincere guy to warn, even if God is here at this time, he can't stop the offensive of his armored force, because he has already defeated the heavy fire company in one fell swoop, and the remaining Chinese army is still his enemy?

Because of this, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton at this moment seemed to have seen him swing his army to cut off the back of a certain main division of the Volunteer Army, and drank the heroic posture of the Imjin River, and couldn't help but be a little stupid, so he turned around and prepared to order the Royal Tank Battalion to speed up again.

But as soon as his words reached his lips, he heard a sudden roar in the distance, a violent explosion suddenly sounded in the ranks of the Royal Tank Battalion, and a half-track armored car located in front of him exploded and caught fire......

However, before the British could react, several shells hit their heads and faces, so the three trucks that followed behind were killed, and they were directly engulfed in the flames rising from the explosion......

Seeing this, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton, who was standing on the high ground, instead of panicking, used a telescope to look at a few rising fires in the distance, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and say: "A bunch of guys who can't help themselves! ”

Before the words fell, he turned his head and quickly ordered to the communications staff officer on the side: "Notify the artillery group, target 489, distance 1128, elevation 584, instantaneous fuse, rapid fire ......"

The reason why Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton was able to command this kind of composite battle group was naturally not ordinary, and this kind of shooting that only professional artillerymen could get according to maps and measuring instruments could accurately report it with just a few glances through a telescope, and it has to be said that his military professional ability was indeed strong to a certain extent.

Because of this, under his command, the battlefield reaction speed of this reinforced Royal Tank Battalion was also extremely fast, and not long after Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton said this, more than a dozen large-caliber guns in the rear began to roar in unison, and in an instant, the area that Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton had just seen was shrouded in gunsmoke and flames.

However, Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton did not stop there, but ordered the tanks to take the lead, and the infantry followed, ready to completely crush the annoying Chinese recoilless guns with tracks like bugs with a thunderous force.

As a result, the marching formation of the entire Royal Tank Battalion began to change rapidly, but just as several branches of the British army were staggered and reorganized into chaos, a loud trumpet suddenly sounded in the sky, and then countless Chinese soldiers seemed to come out of the cracks in the ground, accompanied by deafening shouts of killing, rushing from all directions.

They have no fire cover, and they do not do formation rectification, as soon as they come up, they are fierce and fierce, all they have to do is to engage the enemy in short combat, even if the enemy's firepower is fierce, even if there is proud armor protection, even if they are well-trained, but as long as the volunteer soldiers raise their bayonets, hear the horn, and shout out the earth-shattering word "kill", it indicates that their home field and their melee battle has begun......
