Chapter 436: Mine: Butterfly Shape!
When he said this, Colonel Robin Hood could be described as heroic, as if he was the legendary English hero of the Middle Ages with his name, as long as he came out, he could match the world.
In fact, it is not surprising that Colonel Robin Hood has such heroic feelings, but it is the performance of the armies of other client states that makes him sneer, and at the operational meeting before the battle is launched, the armies of all countries that once boasted of being trump cards are like turtles with shrunken heads, ignoring the stubble of General Van Vliet, the commander of the US Eighth Army, and desperately hiding behind one by one, refusing to be the main force of the attack.
Even the most core backbone, the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States, used the excuse that the Wharton armored battle group as the vanguard had suffered too many losses and the troops were tired, and hoped to make corrections before entering the battle.
So General Van Vliet set his sights on Colonel Robin Hood, and Colonel Robin Hood, who had just arrived in Korea and had not yet had an in-depth understanding of the battlefield situation, had the same spirit as the officers and soldiers of the 25th Canadian Brigade led by him.
Although I had heard before setting out that the Chinese army was sharp in attack and tenacious in defense, it was a very difficult opponent to deal with, but how could I know that it was difficult to deal with without trying? What's more, in order to cooperate with the U.S. military to fight the Korean War, his Canadian 25th Brigade recruited veterans who had participated in World War II.
Its core Royal Canadian 2nd Infantry Regiment is composed of elite veterans of the Canadian 3rd Division who participated in the Normandy landings that year, both in terms of army morale and technical and tactical ability in the United Nations Army, plus it has just arrived in Korea, and its energy and physical strength are very strong, and it is a rare elite in the entire Eighth Army.
Because of this, when Van Vliet's eyes fell on him, Colonel Robin Hood, who had long been holding a vow to let countries see the demeanor of the Canadian army, stood up in his seat and shouted with a red face: "If others dare not fight, then let us come to the 25th Canadian Brigade, even if the Chinese are powerful, is it really a three-headed and six-armed devil who jumped out of hell?" ”
General Van Vliet was waiting for Colonel Robin Hood's words, and he praised Colonel Robin Hood in front of the generals and colonels of various countries, as for any fixed routines such as fire support and air cover, without Robin Hood opening his mouth, General Van Vliet had already slapped his chest loudly and completely contracted.
Seeing this, the generals and colonels of the armies of the various client countries couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, it's not that they don't want to be heroes, it's really that the Chinese army fighting the resistance war is too changeable~~! ~~ state, let you flatten the position with shells, there are still surviving Chinese soldiers inside, holding guns, shooting bursting bullets as you charge.
If it weren't for the fact that the Chinese soldiers were also carrying two shoulders and one head, the officers and soldiers of these servant countries would definitely think that the Chinese soldiers were iron warriors who could not be killed.
Imagine what you can get by fighting with such an army?
They want to be heroes, but they have to be destined to be heroes.
It was because of these servant state troops, who had fought all the soldiers on the Korean battlefield, that they were about to attack the positions of the Chinese troops that had established a tight defensive line, and they all began to retreat one by one.
Even if the commander of the Eighth Army, General Van Fleet, wore out his lips and jumped to his feet and scolded his mother, the officers and soldiers of these countries were as if they had not seen it, what should they do, they just did not fall into the trap of the US military.
Van Vliet was stiff and almost crazy, but he couldn't force too much, the shadow of the British troops fleeing without a fight on the south bank of the Imjin River had not yet dissipated, and if he did this again, his Eighth Army would probably have to be pitted by his pig teammates to the point that there was no scum left.
Despite his anger, General Van Vliet endured it, and could only pull out the worst Korean cannon fodder as a punching bag, and send it directly to the guns of the volunteers to fend for themselves.
Joke, the lives of American GIs are more expensive, and the 17 or 8 client states tied together can't withstand the life of an American GI, so it's better to use good steel on the blade to let the American GIs nourish their bodies more.
But the problem is that if it goes on like this, not to mention the main force of the Volunteer Army that encircled and annihilated the Western Front, the commander-in-chief of the United Nations Army, General Li Qiwei, will go bankrupt with his painstaking counterattack plan, and then General Li Qiwei and those politicians in the United States still don't know how to deal with him, the commander of the Eighth Army, so it is imperative to attack Tieyuan, but the question is who to send?
Just when Van Vliet racked his brains for this, the Canadian 25th Brigade joined the sequence of the Eighth Group in the dust, and even better was that this new force did not understand the situation in North Korea at all, and even knew very little about the combat characteristics of the Chinese army.
Seeing this scene, the generals and colonels of various countries, including Van Vliet, were simply happy, waiting for the first bird to take the lead, and as a result, such a stunned young man really came.
As a result, the armed forces of all countries, including the US military, kept silent about the 25th Canadian Brigade, and did not reveal the true situation of the Chinese army at all, but sang praises to the Canadian army one by one, and within a few days they lifted Colonel Robin Hood and other Canadian officers and soldiers to the sky.
Colonel Robin Hood, who was already having some great joy, was stunned by the praise of the Allied troops, and Van Vliet felt that the heat was almost over, so he held a combat meeting and directly handed over the main attack task to the Canadian 25th Brigade.
Colonel Robin Hood didn't think it was a hot potato, and thought it was a big bargain, especially when he saw the super fire support of the American allies, he had a sense of contempt for the world, and only felt that the armies of other countries were desperately hiding backwards was simply a brain show.
Under such fierce artillery fire, let alone people, even a bed bug has no reason to live, such a battle is not so much a siege as an armed parade without danger, so that when the US artillery commander informed him that the artillery fire would extend in depth in fifteen minutes, so that he was ready to attack, Colonel Robin Hood immediately grabbed the communication phone beside him, and ordered with full anger: "Robben, it's up to you!" ”
"Don't worry, my sir, the Royal Canadian 2nd Regiment has never disappointed!"
The commander, Lieutenant Colonel Robben, answered the phone with his hand, and then waved to the staff officer behind him: "Order the troops, target Neutron Mountain, attack!" ”
……
The enemy is coming!
After the artillery of the American army was extended back, Wu Chen came to the main position from the anti-slope bunker behind the mountain as soon as possible, and regardless of the soldiers who had died under the artillery fire, he jumped into a foxhole and raised his binoculars to look at the enemy who was gradually approaching, and immediately said to the signal soldiers around him: "Contact the rear artillery group immediately......
"Wait!"
Without waiting for Wu Chen to finish speaking, Fang Liang, the platoon leader of the engineer platoon who had passed through him, pressed the signal soldier who was about to call: "That kind of big killing weapon is not easy to use, this gadget is enough for those foreign devils to drink a pot." ”
As he spoke, Fang Liang took out a small thing the size of a palm as if he was juggling: "Landmines, butterfly-shaped!" ”
