Chapter 663: The Best Time
If you don't want to be looked down upon, or even looked down upon, you have to work hard to make achievements to let people see his talent.
How important talent is to a person, Qiao Yan's simple understanding is to be favored by others, He Yu has always had high hopes for him, not only promoted him to be an officer but also sent him to study at the military academy.
This is something that a Ming immigrant couldn't think of before, but now he is indeed an officer in the Australian Army, if nothing else, after the end of this war, he will return to the mainland to enter the military academy for further study, whether it is a change of career or continue to stay in the army, he will have a good future.
Qiao Yan knew that his life was different from before, and he was destined to start an extraordinary life from the moment he set foot in Australia, and if he was given a choice, he would still choose to go to Australia.
In Australia, he really learned what life is, how a person should work hard to get everything they want, whether it is entering the army or working in a factory, everyone will have their own goals, but their ultimate goal is to make their lives and their children's lives better.
Qiao Yan is not married, but his fiancée is already engaged, and every time he is on the battlefield, he thinks of the girl who is also an immigrant, and that girl is still waiting for him in Australia, and every time she introduces her fiancé to someone else, he always feels a very proud feeling.
"Ximei, I won't let you down," Qiao Yan clenched his fists, and he decided to start fighting back.
Honor and future, already Ximei's expectations for him, he must do better.
"Yu Shan, take your people to break out tonight." Qiao Yan pointed to a corner of the sand table, the meaning is very simple, that is, to break through from here, if everything goes well, then the troops of the first battalion will break through from Shaoguan tonight.
The follow-up troops from Guangzhou had already arrived at Shaoguan to take over the defense, so Qiao Xian's troops did not have to take care of the defense affairs.
"Break out tonight." Yu Shan repeated Qiao Yan's words and frowned, "Qiao Yan, you have thought about it, but the weather is not good tonight." ”
Yu Shan also glanced at the weather outside as he spoke, it was raining heavily outside, and it was not the best time to fight.
Although Australia's rifles and artillery have been greatly improved in terms of waterproofing, such heavy rain will still affect the gunpowder.
Yu Shan's worries are not without problems, but on the other hand. Azig's troops are also vulnerable to rain, so it's not a singular one.
Yes, it's true that it's not a good weather for combat, but this is the key to victory, you inform the troops, only bring a small amount of ammunition to break through tonight, I will contact the headquarters, wait until the breakthrough goes out, and let the headquarters find a way to airdrop ammunition for us.
Air-dropped ammunition. Yu Shan looked surprised, obviously he had some understanding of the airdrop that Qiao Yan said, as far as he knew, Australia has now become an air force of less than 100 people. The highest commander of this unit is at the same level as the commander of the sea and land.
Don't look at their small number, it is said that the high-level attaches great importance to them, and their participation is indispensable on the battlefield in the future.
Could it be that they also want to participate in this battle, Yu Shan has never seen how the air force fights. I only know that they hung a big basket under a king-sized Kong Ming lantern, and then people sat in it, but is this reliable? Won't it fly away?
After all, this is related to the safety of his life, Yu Shan is naturally a little worried, but Qiao Yan is different, he has gone to military school, knows the timing of combat, and at the same time, he also pays attention to one of the most important things is decision-making. The decisions of the commander often determine whether a war is successful or not.
This time it seems not to be the best time, but it is the most suitable time to break through, with the heavy rain, the opponent's troops have obviously retreated into the defensive line, and the time to open artillery has also weakened, which shows something, indicating that the opponent's gunpowder has also suffered a certain degree of loss.
Of course, this time is also the best time for the other side to carry out an attack war, and the Australian army is not a force that is good at using cold weapons, and it will definitely suffer a big loss when facing the other side.
Just as Qiao Yan thought, Azig was also thinking about this problem, this time was the best time to attack, the opponent's gunpowder was damp, and he could completely let the soldiers carry their knives into battle.
It's just that at this time, the negotiations between Dorgon and Hauge have not yet ended, this is the most critical matter related to the two white flags, what if they raise troops here and the losses are too great, so it is inevitable that Azig is a little worried.
Qiao Yan knew the ongoing plan within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and this time was the best time to break through, although the danger factor of the breakthrough was very high, but it had to be said that it was also the best time to make meritorious contributions.
There is never any best time to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and only 50 percent of the time is already very good, and most of the time it is actually in the commander's decision-making.
Compared with Qiao Yan, in fact, Azig is not lacking in determination, but lacks a good source, although the source of the Manchu Qing is good, but there is still a certain gap compared with Australia, which is why they are different.
Sometimes I have to say that a good luck will indeed be so good that it will explode, just like Qiao Yan, his luck is very good, this time may not be the best time for others, but he has made a decision when he sees this.
"Yu Shan, don't worry, wealth is in danger, there is a certain risk in everything, if there is no risk, then why will our first battalion be promoted the fastest, so you don't have to worry."
Qiao Yan saw the other party's worries and persuaded him, after all, this guy was his own fellow countryman, so he had to remind him.
Compared with Qiao Yan's boldness, Yu Shan has to be much more cautious, and often only when he is 100% sure will he make a move, but in this way, the combat exploits he has made in many cases are relatively less important, so Qiao Yan can become the battalion commander, but he cannot.
This is also where Yu Shan knows his own weaknesses, so he has already made up his mind, he has followed Qiao Xi in the military camp in this life, as long as he follows Qiao Yan, he will definitely be promoted, although he can't be on an equal footing with Qiao Yan, but it is definitely much better than going out alone.
With a smile on his face, Yu Shan nodded to indicate that he knew, and then went out to prepare, according to Qiao Yan's instructions, the two of them would each lead half a battalion of men and horses to break through from two directions, so as to distract the enemy, and then they assembled at the designated place.
For this plan, Yu Shan knew in his heart, as long as there were no major accidents, he should be able to complete the task well, which was actually not very difficult for him.
