Chapter 58 British Army
Chapter 58: British Army
Just as I inferred, when I walked in the second half of the night, I heard a burst of gunfire coming from the front, but what surprised me was that the gunfire was not as intense as I thought.
After fighting with the Americans, everyone knew that even if the Americans had only one company, they would still be in full swing. Not to mention the planes, tanks, cannons, light weapons such as machine guns, submachine guns, and carbines had a high firing rate. Otherwise, why would the US military consume more than three million tons of ammunition during the Korean War, while the amount of ammunition consumed by our army in the entire war was only 200,000 tons, which was not enough for others.
"Company Commander!" Zhao Yongxin limped up, perhaps because of the pain, and he rarely saw him speak since his foot was injured.
"It seems a bit wrong to hear the gunshot!" Zhao Yongxin said in some confusion.
I couldn't help but nodded as I heard this. It was indeed a comrade-in-arms who had hit the Americans together. I could hear the gunshots.
"What's wrong?" Instructor Zhao asked in confusion.
"The gunshots of the Americans are not that rare." I replied on my behalf: "Look at the firepower, if it weren't for the denser sound of their machine guns, it would be almost as good as the 38th hood in the hands of our volunteers."
"That's it!" Zhao Yongxin also agreed, "So this time the one who is ahead should not be the American one. Could it be the one we met last time called Qilu?"
“Turkish brigade?”
"Yes! Company Commander, would it be a Turkish brigade?"
"Impossible!" I shook my head and said, "The Turkish Brigade had almost wiped out our troops during the second battle. This time, nothing can stop our large troops!"
"Then the enemy in front is..."
"What do you care about him?" I said without comment: "What kind of unit he is, will you know if you arrive?"
As I said that, I waved to the troops following behind and said, "Comrades, speed up. If you can't catch up with the troops after dawn, we will be driven by the enemy's plane bomb..."
What I said was indeed effective. The speed of the recruits has indeed accelerated a lot. Looking at me, I couldn't help but feel angry and funny.
What enemy was standing in front? While running forward, I was thinking that the puppet army was still very weak at this time, and we were beaten to escape everywhere, so it was unlikely that it was a puppet army. For example, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, it was even more impossible to send one platoon and one battalion to participate in the war. Canada should not have participated in the war at this time... Then the only thing left is the British army!
Dizzy, how could I forget the British army?
Although the British army had not participated in the war, only three unsatisfied brigades had less than 10,000 (of which the British 27th Brigade was transferred from the garrison in Hong Kong, with only two infantry battalions.) But most of them were veterans who participated in World War II. "You can fight, and your shooting skills are accurate!" This is the evaluation of the returned volunteer soldiers to the British army.
However, their standard rifles remain on manual rifles like Lee Enfield. Although this gun suffered a lot in the first and second World Wars in terms of firing rate, it was still far from the m1 semi-automatic rifle in the hands of the US military.
"Who?" After running for half an hour, the sound of pulling the gun bolt from the front made us stop quickly.
"Liberate the New China!" I quickly shouted to the dark place: "We are from the 2nd Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 353rd Regiment, and I am the company commander Cui Wei."
"Serve the people! It turns out to be Company Commander Cui!" Several volunteer soldiers ran out of the darkness in front of them. One of the dark-faced soldiers said to me: "Captain Cui, why are you here? Battalion Commander Xu looking for you everywhere!"
"What soldier is ahead?" I didn't answer, and asked directly.
"British soldiers." The black face replied: "The captives I caught were told that it seemed to be some British Royal Gun regiment. The name was very long, I can't remember it."
"The Royal Oster Ramp Regiment of the 29th Brigade of Britain?"
"Yes, that's this one." The black face nodded and said, "They shot very accurately. The soldiers rushed forward several times but didn't rush forward. The Chief of Staff of the Division used a telescope to observe more than 500 meters, and was killed by the enemy with a cold gun."
"What? More than 500 meters?" I couldn't help but look at the black face in surprise. Not only me, but the other soldiers were a little unbelievable. It was no longer easy to hit a target that was more than 500 meters away during the day, not to mention that it was on a night with poor light.
But seeing the black face nodding seriously, we had to believe it.
Mom, it’s worthy of being a rifle ball. The marksmanship is really fucking different. I couldn’t help but curse in my heart.
The so-called rifle regiment does not mean those British troops really hold those old rifles, but rather they are the first troops equipped with rifles. To tell this story, it can be traced back to the times when they fought against the Indians. At that time, each of them wore all green uniforms, cowboy hats, rifles, and high-headed horses to fight with the Indians between the plains.
Later, this army has been developing into a modern rifle regiment, and its biggest feature is that it inherits the advantages of its ancestors' good marksmanship. The uniforms of its officers and soldiers all wore a special logo: a ferocious green tiger. It is said that they also participated in the Normandy Landing War under Montgomery...
I couldn't help but look at the m1c sniper rifle in my hand. I knew what Xu Feng was doing in a hurry to find me at this time. The Chief of Staff who said that the black-faced Kong was sacrificing under the enemy's cold gun. If he could hit the target with one shot five hundred meters away in the evening, the other party must be a sniper.
The best way to deal with snipers is snipers. In the Korean War, the Volunteers had no snipers in the practical sense. At most, they were "sharpshooters" with better shooting skills. I showed good shooting skills in the previous few battles, so when Xu Feng encountered such a problem, he would naturally think of me.
The gunshots are getting closer and closer, and there are more and more people. What surprised me was that I also saw teams of soldiers wearing Korean People's Army uniforms. There were several cars parked by the roadside, and some things were loaded on the car so dark that I didn't know what it was.
