Chapter 464 Don't panic, this is our ally's tank
The British British Brigade, which had been cheated, wanted to curse, because they were obviously allies and had been fighting together for so many years.
They have been fighting together since World War II.
Achieved one victory after another.
Why would they sell them out when the time comes for their life and death crisis?
When we win, we are allies, but when it comes to a life-and-death situation, aren't allies meant to be betrayed?
The American soldiers retreated very quickly, grabbing onto the cars and escaping.
After firing the flares, they even abandoned the artillery and remained in place.
The flares illuminated a large area of mountains and fields, and the attacking troops looked and saw that there was a group of enemies here.
The light troops did not destroy the tanks' weapons and equipment, but still bravely attacked the British Brigade, only to suddenly discover how terribly weak this group of people was.
Although they have good weapons and equipment, including tanks and artillery, their combat effectiveness is almost as low as that of the puppet army.
I was immediately confused after being charged.
The attacking force was not the main force, but a Kuomintang unit that revolted on the battlefield, known as the 50th Army, a ragtag group of troops.
The unit's performance in the country was not worth mentioning, but on the current battlefield, it showed a strong desire to attack.
As if they wanted people to see, they had changed their appearance to welcome the new day.
How much difference can the combat effectiveness make just by changing the name and the number?
Let the results speak for themselves.
The attacking forces, lacking heavy weapons and anti-tank weapons, relied on their physical bodies to attack in groups, rush forward, and destroy tanks with cluster grenades.
A lightly armed troop responsible for infiltration chased and beat up the heavy tank battalion of the British Empire.
More than 200 enemy soldiers were killed, 230 captured, 27 Centurion tanks destroyed, 6 armored vehicles and tractors destroyed, 4 heavy tanks seized, 18 vehicles seized, and 4 howitzers seized.
With only 71 casualties, they managed to defeat the British heavy tank battalion.
The command center received the battle report from the front line, and General Xu Da slammed the table in disbelief.
"If you lie about your military achievements, you will be held accountable and will be shot. We are not the former national army. All our military achievements must be verifiable."
This is indeed not the fault of the headquarters commander. False reporting of battle results is an old tradition of the National Army.
I was afraid that this unit would continue with its previous bad habits.
But during the subsequent interrogation, it was found that it was indeed a real achievement, which could be called a divine battle.
The lightly armed troops wiped out a heavily armed tank battalion, leaving no one behind. They destroyed what needed to be destroyed, and seized what needed to be seized, which was incredible.
You have to know that they were only equipped with rifles and grenades, or at most some explosive packs.
There wasn't even an infantry gun or an anti-tank weapon.
Who dares to say that a light infantry unit can wipe out a heavily armored tank battalion? Even if Li Yunlong came, he would have to grin and say that it was impossible, absolutely impossible.
To be able to fight such a miraculous battle, we can only say that our comrades have amazing willpower.
The battle continues, and such victories come one after another.
The entire battle line was defeated, and it could be said that there was no possibility of resistance.
All the troops were either on their way to escape or discussing how to retreat.
The British-Sun Army, which always liked to sacrifice its teammates, encountered magical teammates one after another. Not to mention the incident of being dropped with flares last night, the main forces of the two brigades were finally withdrawn and got rid of the pursuers.
When discussing the retreat plan today, Major General Saul, the commander of the 3rd Eagle Division, ordered the 29th British Brigade to be responsible for covering the retreat as the division commander.
Major General Saul was the most powerful officer in this area and had the authority to command two brigades to participate in the war.
He also came up with a temporary appointment for the command center, with the 3rd Eagle Division and 2 British Brigades all temporarily under the command of Major General Saul to deal with the current defeat in the battle.
Preserve the manpower and retreat to the rear in an orderly manner.
In order to retreat, there must be a blocking force, and leaving the 29th British Brigade to cover the retreat was in line with everyone's expectations.
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.
This principle was taught by the British Empire on the battlefields of Southeast Asia.
At the beginning, they had agreed to jointly organize a defense line to fight against the Japanese, but this group of people ended up retreating secretly and selling out their teammates on the battlefield.
You taught me that, idol!
I learned all this from you. I am better than you.
The commander of the British brigade, Brandi, had a frown on his face. He knew that he would have to pay for what he had done sooner or later.
There is no way, the situation forces us to do so.
The Eagle Sauce Division Commander issued an order to retreat, leaving the 29th Brigade behind to cover the rear. Unless there was an order to retreat, they had to hold their ground.
Cars continued to drive south and evacuate quickly along the road.
Tanks and armored vehicles appeared on the flanks from time to time to cover the troops' advance.
Duan Peng and other special warfare personnel appeared on the flank of this unit with reinforced armored forces. They were equipped with all American weapons and there were also soldiers with good English following them.
When I first came into contact with the troops here, I only saw the last group of retreating Eagle Sauce troops.
"Move, move, go go!"
The other side thought that this was their own armored unit, but they didn't recognize which one it was at first. Anyway, they were all their own people, so they ran away as fast as they could.
When the last unit of the Eagle 3rd Division withdrew, Duan Peng's reinforced armored force appeared behind the British 29th Brigade.
Based on the special operations battalion, it has enhanced its manpower and armored firepower, and looks more like an armored regiment.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the troops slowly approached the 29th Brigade.
Brandi was feeling very angry, but when she saw a group of tanks standing behind her, she felt a little touched.
"It seems that not all of our allies are cowards. There is another troop that will help us cover our retreat. Let's go and ask them which troop they are. We will reward them handsomely later."
The 29th Brigade's performance was very lazy. How could they be enemies with all of their Sherman tanks?
Both parties communicated in English.
"Let us enter your core position and assist you in covering your retreat. The infantry are ready to withdraw."
"Welcome, my friends."
Brandi called on the infantry to make way and let the tanks and armored vehicles come in to strengthen the defensive firepower.
Duan Peng laughed and gave the order to fight.
As a result, dozens of tanks rudely crossed the defense line and decisively opened fire at the 29th Brigade.
The enemy's infantry is still gathering, preparing to make way for the tanks.
Suddenly, flames came out of the heavy machine gun and bullets started firing, catching everyone off guard.
what's the situation?
What's happening here?
The light tanks and armored vehicles in the rear quickly rushed in and crushed the core of the 29th British Brigade.
The self-propelled guns also opened fire.
The artillery roared and hit the position.
The retreating Eagle 3rd Division heard the artillery fire, but instead of turning back, they urged their cars to run at full speed.
Retreat, retreat quickly, don't stop, the pursuers are coming.
The 29th Brigade is screwed. Not only do they have no teammates, but they are also betrayed by guys who pretend to be teammates.
The front line was instantly blown to pieces and was repeatedly crushed by light and heavy tanks.
The heavy firepower defense zone was broken through in an instant, and the artillery and tanks on hand were quickly destroyed.
The battle could be described as crushing with ease. At the moment of opening fire, two to three hundred people were killed and the enemy was severely damaged.
They then moved left and right and easily broke down the defensive positions of the 29th Brigade.
The friendly troops attacking head-on were also a little confused. They saw the British Army and the Eagle Sauce troops opening fire. Later they received news that this was a camouflaged unit of Ding Wei.
