Chapter 55: I Lost to Their New Tactics

Standing in front of the commander, Major Adam was like a child, and his originally extremely arrogant head had to be lowered.

At this moment, Adam's heart was very worried.

He lost Prince Gong's Mansion, yes, not only Prince Gong's Mansion, but also the countless wealth in it. Not only did he lose his untold wealth, but he also lost his troops.

The British Empire is proud, and the military men of the British Empire are proud. The British Empire did not need an officer who brought troops to be annihilated, and the British Empire did not need a commander who had all his troops wiped out and he himself was still alive.

In their opinion, the British have an incomparably noble bloodline, and the British genes are the best in the world. In the same way, Britain has an innumerable number of excellent commanders who are capable of leading British troops to create more victories of their own.

Major Adam knew very well in his heart that his military career was over. Not only that, but this resume will also bring devastating disasters to his future.

Even when he returns to the UK, he is likely to be unemployed.

No one would hire a man to bring the troops to annihilation as a worker, and no one would give him a chance to try.

But fortunately, Britain is currently the only empire in the world where the sun never sets. Even if he couldn't return to England, Adam could go to the British colonies in search of a decent job.

However, Adam is most worried about his next fate, he doesn't know what the commander will do with him, and he doesn't know if he can leave safely.

Adam told everything he saw and heard, and he didn't miss even a single detail. He just hoped that his move would make the commander open up and not give him too severe a punishment.

"You mean, they're about 1.6 meters tall? Their commander is a man who is almost one meter eight tall? And, they are fewer than you? Gaisley asked, shocked.

Such a result is simply unbelievable. According to Adam's description, the enemy seems to be only more than 200 people, and they are much taller than the Japanese, as for how Adam judged the height of the enemy, in the absence of obvious comparison, weapons are the best reference.

The height of the Japanese was often only about a palm higher than the rifle with the bayonet, but the enemy who appeared in front of Adam before was one and a half palms taller than the rifle with the bayonet.

The Golden Hook rifle is 1.27 meters long, and it is about 1.4 meters with a bayonet, which is a good reference.

"Yes, Your Excellency, they have deliberately rolled up their trouser legs in order to confuse us and make us ignore their height. And in the course of the battle, the subordinates found that they had adopted a new tactic, and it was this tactic that led to our final defeat. The subordinates bear the main responsibility in this battle, and it is certain that His Excellency the commander will give his subordinates severe punishments, otherwise the subordinates will be sorry for the warriors who died in battle. Adam first confirmed Gaisley's suspicions, and then began to ask for punishment.

This is Adam's way of fighting for his own chances, and although the final punishment may not be able to escape, at least it will not make his punishment worse.

"What new tactics?" Gasley also noticed the new tactic proposed by Adam, and asked with a frown.

To be able to outmaneuver with less and annihilate their nearly 500-strong force requires not only elite soldiers, but also proper tactics.

As the military gradually entered the era of thermal weapons, tactics became more and more important. As the world leader, the British obviously pay more attention to this aspect of research, and even the British military has set up a research laboratory for this purpose, but so far, this research laboratory has not produced any convincing results.

Gaisley's doubts made Adam see hope, and the solemn expression on his face instantly relaxed a lot, and after organizing his words a little, he spoke:

"The opponent's tactics don't seem to be difficult to crack, but often in battle, they can deal a fatal blow to us.

Our soldiers were hiding in different houses and resisting, of course, this was only a small part, because most of them were guided to the main road of Prince Gong's house, where they had already set up two machine guns, and when our soldiers appeared there, they began to fire, so that we lost a large number of soldiers there.

In addition, although our soldiers hiding in the house were not attacked by the opponent's heavy machine guns, the opponent used a group of four to carry out a sweeping cleanup.

Once it is determined that there are our men in the house, if there are not many of them, they will fight directly as a combat group, and if we exceed their expectations, other teams will immediately come to their aid.

Moreover, one of them would often step up to grab our attention and leak our firepower, but it would only be a split second, maybe just a blink of an eye, and they would retreat behind cover, and when we fired, the rest of the group would quickly shoot at our soldiers.

Since we had already fired, it would take some time to reload, and they would take advantage of that time to come out and shoot at our soldiers, and then they would hide in another bunker and attract our soldiers to shoot at them.

Then the previous soldiers will repeat their previous movements, so that whenever our soldiers shoot, they will continue to shoot bullets into our bodies from different places. ”

After hearing this, Gaisley was completely shocked.

This tactic is simply Nima's incomprehension? At least after listening to it, Gaisley didn't think of anything that could solve this problem.

Unless they have enough heavy machine guns to keep the fire going to suppress the enemy in all directions, then the rest of the soldiers begin to count each other one by one, which is obviously not reliable.

Of course, in order to leave enough hope for himself, there is one thing that Adam did not report truthfully, that is, the opponent is not very skilled in using this tactic, otherwise, they may even be annihilated by the enemy in half an hour.

But it doesn't matter anymore, the next time they meet them, they will definitely have practiced this tactic more proficiently than they are now, and no one will care about their current words by then.

"Your Excellency Commander, we found out that the other party left the capital from Xizhimen at noon, but after leaving the city, we lost all their clues. Unless......" At this point, the soldier who came to report paused.

"Unless what?" Gaisley asked.

"Unless we arrest and interrogate nearby residents along the way, we may be able to find out from them."
