Chapter 254: Foreign Legion

This part of the British army, which was responsible for encirclement and reinforcement, was part of the First Army of the Foreign Legion of the Royal British Army.

The Foreign Legion is also part of the battle sequence of the British Royal Army, with a total number of about 100,000 people, and a total of three army groups.

Each army group consisted of three corps, numbering about 40,000.

And the mercenary army commanded by David was nominally not part of the battle sequence of the British Emperor's Army, and was an army that was not recognized by the British authorities.

But at the top of the British Empire, many people are well aware of the royal background of this army, which is simply an army that has been used to lay the front for the Empire's overseas expansion.

Once something goes wrong, the empire can completely refuse to admit it, after all, mercenaries are just a group of illegal armed forces who fight for money, and they are not controlled by the authorities at all.

In layman's terms, this mercenary army is to do the dirty work for the British Empire, and many things that are inconvenient to dispatch regular troops will be carried out by them.

And this so-called foreign legion actually belongs to this kind of work, but the difference is that they are organized in the British Royal Army.

The members of the Foreign Legion were almost entirely composed of foreign soldiers, who came from the colonies of the British Empire, including whites, blacks, and soldiers of other ethnic groups.

The mercenary army commanded by David was composed entirely of British, and was codenamed "The King's Left Hand Sword" in the British hierarchy, but was commonly referred to as "David's Legion".

The Mercenary Corps was an appendage of the Legion of David.

This time, it was the Poitu Army of the Foreign Legion that was sent as reinforcements. The army group's 40,000-strong soldiers consisted mainly of black soldiers and soldiers of Indian origin.

This time, along with the David's legion, was the First Army of the Poitu Army, also known as the Har Army.

It is called the Har Army because most of its soldiers come from the poorest and most isolated part of India.

Extreme poverty and backwardness have created the characteristics of the men of Harbang who are barbaric and fierce and have no bottom line, so the British Empire will select soldiers in this place to form the Har Army.

However, although the soldiers were mainly of Indian origin, most of the army and the supreme commanders were British.

Gavin, the commander of the Harr Army, has always been very envious of David, and he also hopes to be able to make contributions to those backward and weak mainland countries overseas like David, but he does not have to abide by any military rules and disciplines, and it is exciting to think about that kind of day.

It can be said that the officers of the entire British Empire have carved in their bones the factor of expanding aggression in the wind of British Empire's expansion for many years, and they are eager to trample every piece of land they see under their feet and turn it into a colony of the British Empire.

Therefore, Gavin worked hard to secure the mission of crossing the ocean to support the Davidians.

Gavin was dissatisfied with David's arrangement for his army to come to help. However, he could only follow David's orders and deploy his troops where they were to be placed.

The cold weather and the unknowing moment of the enemy made Gavin's Indian soldiers grumble, and many of them even ran out of their bunkers and began to scurry.

Annoyed by the curry-smelling English, Gavin drew his pistol and scolded them loudly, whipping them hard to get the dirty-skinned soldiers back into cover.

In the eyes of Britons like Gavin, these soldiers of Indian origin should simply be whipped every day.

However, compared to the black soldiers who were always lazy, these soldiers of Indian origin were brave when they fought the war.

Thinking of these troubles, Gavin shook off the rain on his raincoat, looked enviously in the direction of Wenzhou City, listened to the faint sound of gunfire, and muttered: "That damn David must be about to succeed, they will soon be able to enter the city and eat hot food, while I will continue to stay in this ghost place and wait, what a jealous guy." ”

He turned his head and looked in the direction in the distance with his binoculars, but it was still silent, not only cursing: "Why haven't these damn cowards arrived, they really deserve to go to hell!" ”

The adjutant interjected: "I think maybe our enemy is already too frightened to come to the rescue. ”

"I think so, David must be making excuses for his incompetence to say how powerful and terrible those enemies will be. I bet it must be like this. On this backward continent, I don't believe at all that there are armies with more advanced weapons than ours, it's a joke, a joke that makes God laugh. ”

Gavin continued to grumble angrily.

When the adjutant was about to continue to flatter the chief, he was suddenly attracted by an earth-shattering loud noise from the direction of Wenzhou, and subconsciously turned his head to look.

But as soon as he turned around, he happened to be in front of Gavin, and a bullet that flew out of nowhere hit him instantly, burrowing through the middle of his forehead.

The adjutant's eyes widened, and he still had an inexplicable look on his face and fell down without saying a word.

Gavin heard the gunshot, and as soon as he turned around, he saw that the adjutant who was still flattering him just now had fallen to the ground, and he was stunned.

However, he quickly reacted in the next second, hurriedly fell to the ground, and shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, there is an enemy behind us!" ”

Gavin's vast combat experience temporarily saved his life.

Several nearby guards heard the commander's shout, and they all rushed over, nervously firing behind them with their guns, although they had not even seen the enemy's figure clearly.

Gavin had just breathed a sigh of relief, his mind nervously thinking about how the enemy could run out from behind, when he looked up and saw a dozen black objects flying in the air, falling straight above their heads.

"Boom, boom, boom", explosions sounded one after another, and wood chips flew and soil splashed within a radius of several tens of meters, which was also mixed with some organs and tissues of the human body.

Before the smoke cleared, a group of figures wearing gray military uniforms and a bunch of branches and weeds on their bodies quickly came out of the forest.

After the soldiers stepped forward, they skillfully began to mend their knives on all the corpses, and only after making sure that nothing was missing, did they form a circle, their faces facing outwards and holding their guns on alert.

A major walked over, looked around, and asked in a deep voice, "Are there any big fish?" ”

"Report to the captain, there is a corpse here, with the rank of major general, it should be a big fish." A soldier reported.

The major walked over and looked at it, and said, "The head is cut off." Then proceed to the attack. ”

"Yes!" The soldiers promised their lives, and continued to charge forward with their guns in hand.

And all around, there was already a lot of gunfire.
