Dawn is quietly approaching, and a fish's belly is gradually appearing in the distance, and it is said that the period before dawn is the darkest hour, and this is not true at all, the veterans who came to train the Boers have been subjected to endless torture in recent months, getting up before dawn every day, and at night the dogs are sleeping, but they are still learning theoretical knowledge.

On the Boer battlefield, Yuan Shikai stepped up the training of this group of Boer veterans since he received news from Wang Lin two months ago, and the training of 6,000 soldiers per period has now completed the number of 18,000 people, and after these 18,000 soldiers returned to their respective units, they were arranged to be the squad leader or platoon leader of each squad, and very few of them could be promoted to senior officers.

Because basically no high-ranking officers of the Boer people came here for training, this was not a place for them to stay, and the life of drinking muddy water and eating grass leaves was not something they could bear, Yuan Shikai did not embarrass these high-ranking officers, but he was worried about the future of the Boer army.

The senior officer did not know what the soldiers under his command would do? What can be done? I don't even know what their strength is now? With such an officer, even if he is given more elite soldiers, it is useless, because he will never be able to distinguish what is cannon fodder and what is the main force, they will always use the main force as cannon fodder, and the cannon fodder in Yuan Shikai's eyes as elite.

Today is a full year since Yuan Shikai arrived at the Boer battlefield, before Wang Lin had said that he would let the British plant a heel in the Boer battlefield, but at that time Yuan Shikai felt that the time was not very ripe, so Yuan Shikai decided to speed up the training outline of this group of soldiers, and then prepare a complete counteroffensive plan.

"General, the contract between us expires today, I have a wish that has not been solved, I hope the general can help me solve this wish." Yuan Shikai walked into the headquarters of Michiri and looked at the sand table that Yuan Shikai gave him.

"Oh? Dear Mr. Yuan, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Speak up, and I'll help you if I can do it. But you'll be leaving in a few days, and to be honest, I'm really reluctant to let you instructors go, you have trained a lot of excellent soldiers for me, and I should really thank you. With a big belly, Miqiri looked up at Yuan Shikai with a look of gratitude on his face as if he couldn't help but jump off the button on his stomach with a slight movement.

Miqiri, the supreme commander of the Boer army, is also the only senior general recognized by Yuan Shikai, although this person is plump, but the things in his head are not comparable to everyone, and Miqiri, who looks more [***], is actually an excellent commander, although his level of commanding the war is average, but his ability to see people and a broad mind are not comparable to anyone.

It doesn't matter if a person offends him, as long as you have real skills, then once you have a task, he will still think of you for the first time, as for when there is no task, he will more put you aside, the so-called public and private distinction.

"General, I want to test the strength of the army I have trained before leaving. I want to see if they can really stand the test of war. Yuan Shikai looked at Miqili standing behind the sand table.

"Mr. Yuan, didn't the army you trained already participate in the first three phases of the battle? They really played very well, how does Mr. Yuan want to test it? Might as well put your plans out and I'll consider them if it's appropriate. Michiri nodded, Yuan Shikai gave him a lot of reasonable advice during the year, and the final effect was good, in Africa, the only people who were impressed by the Chinese were the Boers.

Yuan Shikai took two steps forward, quietly crouched in Miqiri's ear and said his plan, and before he finished speaking, he saw Miqili's face excited, as if he had found some cheats, and he couldn't stop nodding during the period, praising Yuan Shikai's idea as very good.

A year ago, the advantage of the Boer War had slowly begun to tilt in favor of the British army, and since Yuan Shikai came, although the speed of this tilt was a little smaller, it was still on the side of the British army. And in recent times, because the British army has obtained new equipment and materials, it has carried out several full-scale attacks, although they have been blocked in the end, but everyone knows that if the British come a few more times, the Boers may really not be able to withstand it.

Just when General Michiri was also in a hurry, Yuan Shikai suddenly proposed to fight a large-scale battle, the purpose of which was to deal a severe blow to the momentum of the British army, so as to give the Boers more time, even if they could not really defeat the British, they would use this war to drag the British to death here.

Michiri nodded, Yuan Shikai's plan was very feasible, at least in his opinion. In the afternoon of the same day, Michry ordered the soldiers of the Boer army, who had been trained directly by the Chinese, to assemble separately and to launch the most ferocious attack on the British under the leadership of the Chinese instructors.

At the beginning of the selection, Wang Lin deliberately selected those soldiers with strong adaptability and outstanding performance in field training to serve as instructors on the grounds of increasing the survival rate of soldiers.

As night fell, after an afternoon of reorganization, 10,000 Boer soldiers were assigned to the Chinese, and the Chinese served as their supreme commander to command the battle, and the rest remained in their units.

The troops of a regiment responsible for a section of the defense line in the A5 area have entered the preset position, and the soldiers have dug trenches according to the requirements of the previous training, but these Chinese instructors have not handed them over to dig anti-artillery holes, and even the use and digging methods of trenches are incomplete, although this kind of trench cannot resist the attack of the Hainan army, but it is at least no problem to resist the British army on the opposite side, because their charging tactics are very old-fashioned, and they are still the same cluster charge for 10,000 years, and in the face of heavy machine guns, they are undoubtedly looking for death.

"Instructor Long, what do you think it is?" A Boer soldier who had learned to communicate in Chinese served as a translator and herald for the temporary force's regimental headquarters, pointing to the bright spot in the sky with his right hand.

Long Yuhui, no one knows what his background is, even Yuan Shikai doesn't know why Wang Lin chose him into the instructor group, and once attracted Yuan Shikai's attention, this person looks ordinary on the surface, but his kung fu is unmatched, from small-scale infantry operations to large-scale corps operations, he can tell a reason, but he has not experienced practice, and what is even more incomprehensible is that he even understands a little about naval operations.

Yuan Shikai, who has read countless people, finally failed to see through this twenty-one-year-old Long Yuhui, a young man who already has the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulders, his age is in the Hainan Army, at most he is a three-year veteran, there is another possibility, that is, Wang Lin has already started to cultivate him, that is, he is the person who came out of the small black house, but no one has mentioned this matter, although everyone knows that there is this place.

Long Yuhui calmly raised his quadruple telescope, quietly looked at the direction of the bright point in the sky, flickering bright and dark, as if floating, there were three black shadows on it, the theoretical knowledge of combat was very sufficient, but Long Yuhui, who had a slight lack of actual combat experience, frowned, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "Get down, the enemy is going to shell!" ”

Long Yuhui's angry shout shocked the soldiers who were still standing there pointing at the sky, the British artillery was originally more than them, if it weren't for these Chinese people to provide them with artillery for a long time, the current Boer army would be even more miserable, the shadow of the artillery fire a year ago is still deeply left in the hearts of every Boer soldier, lingering for a long time.

By this time, the herald had already issued a warning shot, and ordered every soldier to crouch down and lie on his position.

At this time, the hot air balloon, either for the infantry to reconnoiter the situation in front or to guide and correct the artillery, as soon as night fell, the British troops were in a hurry to start shelling, they already knew the dynamics of the Boer army, but they did not know what the specific target was, so they were eager to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy through their own artillery fire, and had to abandon the plan made.

Long Yuhui lowered his head and drilled into his headquarters, the headquarters is much safer than the outside, at least he doesn't have to endure the danger of being hit by artillery fire, of course, if a gun of more than 100 mm directly hits the headquarters, there is still a danger.

Three minutes later, in the earth-shattering explosion, a ball of fireball rose in the air near the A5 defense line, a shell scattered around the position, a few shells by mistake fell accurately in the trench, with a bang, with endless screams, the dust on the ground was swept into the air by the impact of the shells, and a little smell of blood gradually appeared in the air, and some limb pieces gradually appeared around the position, and then the entire A5 position became a piece of mud mixed with blood and some stones, Slammed into the position.

The Boer army was not a Hainan army, they were not equipped with helmets, and at this time they could only put their hands on top of their heads, tightly protect their heads, and secretly pray to God in their hearts, hoping that those stones would not be smashed against them.

After a round of artillery fire, the hot air balloon located not far above the position gradually stopped in a direction, and the artillery fire had already made them see clearly where the real position of the Boers was, and now they were recording the coordinates and then guiding the artillery to attack accurately.

The British artillery fire began to gradually decrease, Long Yuhui knew what the British army was going to do, the hot air balloon above would guide and correct the target for him, once the next artillery fire was opened, it would be difficult to stop, looking at the position There were dozens of dead and wounded in just a round of test firing, and the soldiers had to put their hands tightly on their heads to protect them, and finally Long Yuhui gritted his teeth and roared fiercely: "Withdraw from the position." ”
