"Especially since our army has not fought in any war since World War II!" Speaking of this, Major Will said embarrassedly: "Of course, among them, we also participated in the Korean War, but not many of us participated in this war, and not many of us can come back alive!" ”

This is true, the troops sent by the British to the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea took turns to take turns and a total of only a few regiments, and they also suffered heavy casualties under the impact of the volunteers.

"What's more, this war is thirty years away from now!" Major Will frowned and said, "The experienced veterans are already old. As a matter of fact, only 1 percent of our troops have combat experience, and they are mainly concentrated in the navy and air force, and even these guys with combat experience are mechanics who have retired and returned to service, or who have experience as service soldiers and communications troops on the battlefield in the past. Therefore, this war is a great challenge for us, and we urgently need fighters with rich combat experience like Comrade Battalion Commander to build us up! ”

I nodded, and I felt that there was one more thing that Major Will had not said, and that was that Britain could not afford to lose this battle.

You must know that Britain is indeed in decline now, but as the so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse, Britain was the maritime hegemon of the world with its own colonies, and the British are relatively arrogant, in their hearts or in the hearts of all the British people It is still difficult to accept this transformation from the "empire on which the sun never sets" to an ordinary small country, and now even the little-known Argentina has bullied them, so if this battle is lost, And what will happen if this battle is lost?

It is likely that the British people will be extremely disappointed with the government. It may even cause a series of problems such as political or social unrest.

Of course. The same is true for Argentina.

From Argentina's point of view. The reason why the president did not hesitate to risk offending Britain and "recovered the Falklands" was to give the political government in turmoil in the country a goal of diversion, and in this way, to achieve the goal of reuniting the people with national feelings.

In other words, if Argentina loses this battle, it will not only fail to achieve the original purpose, but will make it worse.

So a war was inevitable, and both sides had to fight until the last moment.

After thinking about it, I replied, "We'll do our best." But I can't guarantee that I will be able to play any role in this war, after all, all the wars I have experienced have been land battles, and the environment and climate are different from those of the Falklands! ”

"Of course!" Major Will nodded: "In fact, we also hope that Comrade Battalion Commander can build us after our army lands on Falklands, and before that, it should be a sea and air duel first, so we still have a little time to train!" ”

As he spoke, Major Will handed me a copy of the document and said, "This is the information you need, the second lieutenant will take you to get the necessary clothing and equipment, I'm sorry you have to put on our army's uniform and use our army's standard equipment, I hope you don't mind!" ”

"Of course not!" I replied.

I understand that, first of all, we can't bring our own equipment. Secondly, it is very likely that our advisory group will also take the trained British soldiers into battle...... At that time, if the clothing and equipment were different from the rest of the British army. There is a high chance that you will be injured by mistake and the bullets will not be replenished.

"By the way!" Finally, Major Will said, "Colonel Smith is a good friend of mine, and when he recommended you, he praised you as a genius in guerrilla warfare. So I'm sure you won't let me down! ”

I smiled wryly: "It is clear that there are not many British people in this army who would think so!" ”

Major Will reluctantly spread his hands and admitted this.

It couldn't have been easier, and if the British had generally attached great importance to the Falklands land battle, they would not have sent a major to receive me at all.

Obviously, the attitude of the British military top brass towards our Chinese advisory group is "it is better to believe it than to believe it", just like Major Will said before, because the British army cannot afford to lose this battle, so they must try to be as prepared as possible in every detail. At the same time, the danger that Major Will spoke of was indeed there, that is, if the Falklands land war were to become a protracted guerrilla war, Britain would be dragged down for a few months.

Therefore, out of the mentality of "being prepared", the British military top brass casually left this matter to a major to take charge of, and even at this time, the British army top brass was afraid that they were busy making battle plans and forgot about our advisory group.

After leaving Major Will's office, he called the soldiers to the temporary warehouse of the cruise ship to receive equipment.

The soldiers were not satisfied with the uniform, although the British uniform was much warmer and more imposing than the padded jackets and casual clothes that we bought haphazardly in China...... These padded jackets were bought and brought by us in China, mainly because I know that the weather in Argentina is cold in Antarctica, and it is still very hot in China at this time, and it is dozens of degrees below zero in Argentina.

At first, when I told the soldiers, they didn't believe me, and Scar even laughed at me and said, "Battalion commander, you see that we are still wearing summer clothes here, and it will snow in Argentina?" What a grievance this June snowfall! ”

But I don't care so much, everyone has a set of cotton clothes and pants.

Of course, we don't need to bring too many clothes, because I believe that even though the British Empire has fallen by this time, we can still afford to provide a few pieces of clothing.

Then, when they arrived in Argentina and even on the plane to Chile, they didn't speak, and they obediently changed into the padded clothes in their baggage.

Xiao Shi said while changing it: Our battalion commander is still well-informed, and the snowfall in June is really not fake!

However, even so, the soldiers still twisted and pinched when they put on the warm and velvet military uniforms of the British army, and the reason is needless to say, naturally there is a hurdle in their hearts that they can't get over, and they want to draw a clear line with imperialism! Later, they even had to give me an order before they would change into this "imperialist" uniform.

This is inexplicable to Xu Jianping, although he is a Chinese, but he grew up in the United Kingdom, of course, he can't understand the mentality of these soldiers.

However, Lin Xia was very simple at this point, and after receiving a set of military uniforms, she generously went to the cabin to change her clothes. It's just that this point attracted Zhao Jingping's eyes again.

Then Xu Jianping gave each of us a set of standard equipment of the British Army, such as rifles, pistols, magazines, sapper shovels, and so on.

The necessities on the battlefield are almost the same, after all, they are all things that soldiers fight and survive on the battlefield, so the soldiers are also familiar with it.

When I got the rifle Xu Jianping gave me, I beckoned to the soldiers of Liang Company and said to Xu Jianping: "Change to two sniper rifles!" ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Xu Jianping couldn't help but be stunned, maybe in his mind, there would be no snipers in a Chinese army like ours, so he didn't think of giving us sniper rifles at the beginning.

But it was clear that he was wrong.

Two sniper rifles were quickly sent to us, two gun cases to be exact...... When I opened the gun case, I couldn't help but sigh a little at the fine workmanship of this sniper rifle.

The gun box is neatly arranged with sniper rifles, scopes, binoculars and other necessities, and even the serial numbers of the scope and sniper rifle are engraved on the sniper rifle and scope respectively. Obviously, this is done to prevent several sniper rifles from being mixed with other sniper rifles because they have the same scopes when they are disassembled.

Anyway, we've never considered this before...... Most of the SVDs we use are captured SVDs, and it's good to have a scope, where will we care if it will match.

This can also be seen from the fine workmanship of this sniper rifle, but I was a little disappointed when I put it together and aimed at it...... The magnification of the scope is only 3x, and you must know that the SVD we use has a magnification of 4x. And judging from the shape of the gun body, etc., it does not have the advanced feeling of modern sniper rifles.

Later I learned that this sniper rifle was the British L42A1 sniper rifle, and the other fighters were holding the L1A1 automatic rifle. Although these rifles are indeed more advanced than China's previous equipment of 56 and a half and 56 punches, they are obviously not as suitable as the Soviet-style SVD and AK47.

So I realized that this is probably because the British have not fought for decades, coupled with the stagnation of economic development, so that they have the same problems in the development of weapons as our country...... The equipment can't keep up with the times, and you must fight a battle and expose the problem before you can ruthlessly update the weapon.

The soldiers under my command were all masters of playing with guns, so I took these guns in my hands and played with them, and soon there was some confusion and surprise in my eyes.

AT THIS TIME, XU JIANPING ALSO INTRODUCED TO US WITH A SENSE OF SUPERIORITY ON THE SIDE: "THIS IS THE BRITISH ARMY'S STANDARD RIFLE L1A1, WITH 7.62MM BULLETS AND AN EFFECTIVE RANGE OF 600M. It was the L42A1 sniper rifle designed specifically for snipers, and it had a range of up to a thousand meters......"

"Cut!" Before Xu Jianping finished speaking, Liang Lianbing complained: "What a thing, the magnification is only three times, and the range is far enough to have a bird!" ”

"That's it!" Xiao Shi was also very dissatisfied with the automatic rifle in his hand, he shook the magazine in his hand, and said: "The ammunition capacity is only 20 rounds, if you fight with AK47, isn't it looking for death?" ”

"And the butt!" Scar smiled wryly at the nylon butt of L1A1: "If this is smashed on the enemy's head, the butt will be broken before the enemy's head is broken!" ”

……

The soldiers' words only made Xu Jianping, who was still proud just now, speechless for an instant...... He originally thought that we, the soldiers from China's backward country, must be using equipment that was more backward than their British Empire! I didn't expect that it was themselves who were really lagging behind! (To be continued......)
