Chapter 111: The Honor of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, the Final Fantasy of the British Army!
The British army's pit teammates' riotous operations made the Philippine 10th Battalion miserable.
Having lost the protection of the tanks, the bullets of the volunteers rained down, the enemy was killed and wounded, and the valley was covered with enemy corpses.
And this move of the British army also completely angered the commander of the Philippine Army, Lieutenant Colonel Ogarda.
Lieutenant Colonel Ogarda scolded, "These hateful Brits are so shameless, they deserve to go to hell."
"Even the British don't save the British, so why should we send them to death."
"Retreat now~! Evacuate~!"
At the command of Lieutenant Colonel Ogada, the remaining enemy troops immediately fled out of the valley in disarray, leaving only corpses and blown up tanks and cars.
The news reached Brody's headquarters, and the old guy almost vomited blood in anger.
"Fack~!" xь.
"This bastard should be court-martialed."
The staff officer next to him said, "The Philippine battalion has refused to send troops to support us, and now the frontal attack is not going well, we ......."
Brody's forces, as well as the 25th Brigade of the Canadian Army, were attacking head-on, but their progress was hampered by stubborn resistance from the main force of the Volunteers.
Originally, it was thought that the Filipino battalion could open a gap from the flank and rescue the Gloucester battalion, but in the end it turned out to be such a result.
Although Major General Brody was angry, he was helpless, and this matter could not be blamed entirely on the Philippine battalion, who let him send the heavy tank company not give up, and still pit his teammates like this, no wonder people were angry.
Major General Brody shouted angrily, "The frontal battlefield continues to intensify the offensive."
"Immediately give me a call from the US 65th Regiment!"
In addition to the Philippine battalion, the US 65th Regiment also received an order to support Brody.
Since the Philippine battalion refused to continue the attack, Brody could only pin all his hopes on the US 65th Regiment.
"Sir, the phone is connected, it's Colonel Harris, the commander of the 65th Regiment of the United States."
Brody was still very polite when he asked for help, first politely remarked, and then asked, "Dear Colonel Harris, where are your reinforcements?"
What Major General Brody never dreamed of was that this Colonel Harris was a big slippery head.
Colonel Harris hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, General, I have received an order to support you, and I am busy drawing troops."
"But you also know that there are too many squadrons on the opposite side, and the mountains are full of their people, and we also have our own defense line to defend."
"The number of troops that can be drawn is really limited, and it is quite difficult to do so, I am hurrying to transfer troops, please be patient."
Hearing this, Major General Brody was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
But now that there is a request for help, Major General Brody can only say patiently: "Colonel Harris, we need urgent rescue now, and I hope your troops will leave as soon as possible."
"Although there are many squadrons on the opposite side, it is daytime, and they don't dare to attack at all."
Colonel Harris asked rhetorically, "Your Excellency, are you sure that the squadron on the opposite side will really not attack during the day?"
"What if they take advantage of the fact that our planes are returning and launch a surprise attack?"
"The squadron is very cunning, once I send too many troops to support you, they will perceive the emptiness of our defenses, and they will definitely take advantage of the weakness and launch a surprise attack."
"If my position is lost, it may lead to the collapse of our American army, can you help me bear this responsibility?"
One sentence nearly choked Brody to death.
Brody was a little angry and said, "Are you going to disobey the order and die without help?"
Colonel Harris said, "I've never said anything like that, and I'm actually hurrying to pull troops."
Major General Brody hurriedly said, "Okay! Even if you only send a battalion to support, you can do it!"
"The rest of the troops are finished
They can all hold the line, and during the day, they don't dare to attack?"
Colonel Harris said, "Your Excellency, are you the commander of the squadron?"
"How do you know they don't dare to attack, I don't dare to take this risk!"
Major General Brody was so angry that he immediately rushed to the headquarters of the US 65th Regiment and slapped this bastard with two big mouths.
"You just want to die!"
"I've been trying my best to rescue you, but I didn't expect you to have this attitude."
"If you really want to rescue us, why haven't the troops set out yet?"
"I'm pulling troops, huh?"
"Are you disobeying orders?"
"Disobey whose orders? Disobey your orders? You don't think you can control me!"
"Fake~! Didn't your superiors give you orders to come to us?"
"As I said, I received such an order, and I am now in the process of deploying troops, and we will support you as soon as possible."
"Bastard, you're a complete asshole, what's in it for you to deliberately delay time like this."
"Your Excellency, you have wronged me, is this how you British treat your allies who want to help you? Do you still have a gentlemanly spirit?"
"Gentleman, uncle!"
"Fack, watch your words and actions."
"Attention, you brute, if I can't see your troops come to support in time, I'll definitely go to the coalition court to sue you."
"Go to ***! Where do you like to sue you, I'm still afraid that you old mad dog won't succeed!" ……………………………………
Brody trembled with anger and scolded directly.
Harris was no longer polite, and the two of them kept scolding each other with the microphone.
After scolding, Brody also seemed to feel that it was not a way to continue scolding like this.
So, with a long sigh, he decided to give in again.
「ok! Let's all calm down."
Brody said sincerely, "Now it's my begging for you, send troops to our aid! Even if it's a lesser one!"
Colonel Harris also knew that it was not a way to scold like this, so he calmed down, and this big slippery head naturally wouldn't let him grab the handle, if he did too much, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his superiors.
"Your Excellency is right, I just received news that we have drawn a tank company, and I will send this tank company to support you."
"Is there only one tank company?"
"There's only one tank company at the moment! Maybe then we might be able to draw more troops, and then we'll send more troops to support us." Harris also made a concession.
But Brody was extremely unhappy with this, and said angrily, "Without a strong infantry unit to fight together, do you think your tank force may be close to the Gloucester battalion?"
Colonel Harris pondered for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, I think what you said is very reasonable, but what if it succeeds?"
"So be it! Shall I send a platoon to try my luck first?"
A platoon?
Try one's luck?
Brody was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he felt that if he continued to talk to this bastard, he would have to be pissed off to death.
Major General Brody was furious again, and yelled into the microphone: "You, you can do whatever you like!"
"But I won't let you go, and if anything happens to the Gloucester camp, I swear I'll send you to court-martial."
After scolding, Major General Brody dropped the microphone directly to the ground.
"Fack~!"
Brody was still angry, and continued to scold: "These Yankees are really unreliable."
"At the critical moment, it depends on ourselves, who
I can't count on it."
"Immediately send the order, order the troops, and strengthen the offensive, I don't believe that the gap cannot be opened."
「Yes,sir!」
At the same time, Colonel Harris on the other end of the line just smiled and hung up the phone gently.
Although he was scolded, he also scolded Major General Brody just now.
What's more, Colonel Harris doesn't care at all, he won't lose a piece of meat if he is scolded for a few words, what's the big deal, it's good to be angry with this hateful British.
They don't have the ability to do it themselves, they are surrounded, begging us to come to the rescue, or this attitude.
Why should I save them, let them all die, a bunch of waste who have not achieved enough to fail.
Although he thought so in his heart, but after thinking about it, after all, the command gave them an order, and he couldn't let Brody and them really grab the handle.
A staff officer next to him cautiously asked, "Regiment commander, then do we still send troops to support?"
Colonel Harris said, "Of course, didn't I say that? Send a platoon of tanks to try your luck first, and tell them to be smart, pay attention to safety, I let you go to the rescue, not to send them to death."
「Yes,sir!」
Subsequently, under the orders of Colonel Harris, the US 65th Regiment really only sent one tank platoon to support.
Four U.S. Type 24 tanks swayed in the direction of Xuemali, and they also wanted to open a breakthrough from here.
Halfway through, however, they came across the British heavy tank company that had just been withdrawn from the front, but now they were left with only five 'Captain of the Centennial heavy tanks'.
After the two units met, Major Huss of the British Army, who led the team, inquired about the American troops, and after some conversation, learned that the other party was here to support, and Major Huss immediately pulled his face down.
"Did you send four U.S. 24 tanks to support?"
"Yes! Of course, maybe there are more troops behind!"
"Maybe...... Hmph~!"
Major Hus said angrily, "Are you here to help? I think I'm here to die, right? Or are you going through the motions and making a fuss?"
"Major, what do you mean by that?" The American lieutenant asked with a puzzled expression.
Major Huss said angrily, "Our heavily armored Centennial Captain tanks don't work, what's the use of your beautiful 24-skinned iron coffin?"
"And you only sent the poor four tanks? I don't think you're here to help."
"In that case, please go back! We Britons don't need such shameful tricks as yours!"
The American lieutenant did not argue, and said, "I will report this matter truthfully, and as for how to decide, that is not up to my little lieutenant to say."
The American lieutenant saluted, then returned to his tank and informed the regimental headquarters of the news by radio.
When Colonel Harris received the notice, he smiled and said, "Is that really what those Brits said?"
"Yes!"
The staff officer who reported said, "They also scolded us for this kind of behavior as an extremely shameless act."
"Hmph~!"
Colonel Harris didn't care about any of this anymore, and snorted coldly, already smiling on his face.
The staff officer asked puzzledly, "Sir, why are you so happy when they scold us?"
Colonel Harris smiled and said, "Didn't you just say that? The Brits themselves said they don't need our help."
"Wouldn't it be better if that we didn't carry out the order, but that the English gentlemen themselves were good men, and that we were no wonder."
Colonel Harris was naturally pleased, because then they had a reasonable reason, and if Brody went to sue him, he would have something to say.
Colonel Harris then said, "Let them come back! and immediately ordered all the troops not to send a single soldier to the Gloucester battalion without my orders."
「Yes,sir!」
Within Major General Brody's headquarters, a staff officer also reported the matter to Major General Brody.
Major General Brody angrily scolded, "Fack, these shameful bastards, did they really only send one platoon, or a light tank platoon?"
"Yes!"
Major General Brody scolded, "Harris, this ***, he's just coping."
"But Major Hus is also a bastard who has more than enough to do, they retreated on their own, pitted the Philippine battalion, offended them, and now they have pushed the American army back."
"I wish I could shoot this bastard!"
Major General Brody is really going crazy this time, but anger won't solve the problem.
A colonel asked, "Your Excellency, it seems that we are on our own."
Brody frowned and said, "The front line attack is blocked, those hateful enemies are desperately resisting, and we can't open the gap at all, what should I do?"
Time passed minute by minute, and when it was dark, the Volunteer Army would definitely launch a large-scale attack, and then the Gloucester battalion would be completely finished.
The colonel said, "We are already attacking with all our might, and our 29th Brigade and the 25th Brigade of the Canadian Army have suffered heavy losses."
"The enemy occupies favorable terrain and is desperately resisting, and our attack at any cost will bring us even more heavy casualties."
"We've already paid an even bigger price to save this Gloucester battalion."
When Major General Brody heard about such heavy losses, the muscles in his face couldn't help but tremble.
"You mean to say that if you continue to fight, the gains will outweigh the losses?"
The Colonel nodded and said, "As things stand, that's the case."
"And the resistance of the squadron is very tenacious, we have no hope at all now, it seems that we are wasting our troops in vain."
Major General Brody couldn't help but hesitate and said, "But the Gloucester Battalion is our meritorious battalion, if they are really wiped out by the squadron, it will have a great impact on us."
The colonel sighed helplessly and said, "But we have done our best, at least in the current situation, the probability of rescuing the Gloucester battalion is very low."
"Fake!"
Major General Brody angrily scolded, "For the sake of the honor of the empire on which the sun never sets, we have to make a final effort."
"Keep attacking!"
"Never give up until the last minute!"
