Chapter 92: There Will Be Courageous People Under A Heavy Reward

  Chapter 92: There Will Be Courageous Men Under Heavy Rewards

Trento, from the beginning of the battle of Venice, this place has become the target of the two sides to fight for, the Kingdom of Sardinia has been invested in three divisions of troops, still unable to shake the Austrian army’s defenses.

A week has passed, Lieutenant Colonel Grigi is no longer as apprehensive as he was at the beginning, he has already seen that the opposite enemy not only lacks military training, but also lacks the courage to fight to the death.

In this era, everyone is still using a front-bore gun, the firepower is not too fierce, even if the skilled soldiers up to three rounds per minute, most of the soldiers can only do two rounds per minute shooting speed.

Even if the Austrian army has good fortifications, Trento is not a strong fortress, if the Sardinian army is willing to use human life to fill, the same

If the Sardinian army is willing to use human lives to fill in, it can also fill in the past.

Lieutenant Colonel Grigi regretted a little, if he had known that the Sardinian army is so hot chicken, he would have listened to the advice of that boy Ambridge, sent troops out to steal the camp, or maybe he now he is the rising star of the Austrian army.

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret, the number of enemy troops from the initial one division, into the current three divisions, this time is really can not chew.

“Could it be that that Ambridge kid has the qualities of a famous general and hasn’t been discovered yet? It seems like there’s a need to pay attention to it, and maybe it’s possible to take a credit for it.” Grigi secretly thought

As it turned out, it was still him who overthought it. Ambridge was just a newborn, and there were a dozen more such teenage officers in the Austrian army.

Grigi’s depression didn’t last long, after the enemy’s reinforcement, Marshal Radkis also sent two regiments of reinforcements.

After the reinforcements arrived, his beating heart could no longer hold back. The European continent has been at peace for a long time, it’s not easy to get military honors, if you miss this village, there won’t be this store.

Looking around Europe, there is better than the enemy in front of this group of bullying? Grigi think no, although the opposite of three divisions of troops, but in fact are newly expanded troops.

For example, Major General Will, before the expansion of the army he was just a battalion commander in the Sardinian Kingdom Army, at most can be considered a rising star, after the expansion of the army suddenly became a division commander.

A battalion becomes a division after replenishing its soldiers, weapons and equipment, how much combat power can such a unit have?

Of course, no matter how little combat power it had, it was still better than the original battalion’s combat power. The advantage of weapons and equipment in this era is not yet obvious, fighting a war is still more mainly rely on people, and the sea of men tactic is the most effective tactic.

……

The two new regiments, but also Griegi’s old acquaintances, Venice area is not big, the Austrian army circle is even smaller, they are these middle-level officers almost all know each other.

“Grigi, you’re really great, one regiment held off three enemy divisions for a week, I think once the war is over, you’re going to be promoted, and you’ll get a knighthood!” Buck said enviously

In the absence of a majestic fortress, one regiment blocking three divisions for a week can be a classic case in military history, it’s a great achievement in any country.

Grigi bragged, “It’s not that much of an exaggeration, in fact until yesterday there were only two divisions of the enemy, and I only held them off for six days, and it’s not even a week since you guys got here.”

It didn’t matter if it was two or three divisions, or if it was six or seven days, a regiment was able to hold them off for that long without asking headquarters for reinforcements, and a reputation for being AWOL couldn’t be avoided.

“Grigi, can you instruct us on how we can hold them off in a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak?” Ham asked with concern

Griji didn’t answer directly, instead he asked, “Buck, Ham, do you guys want to do a big job?”

“Do what?”

The two asked in unison.

Grigi said seriously, “We’re teaming up to take out the enemy forces across the street!”

The two looked at Griji dumbfounded, with an expression as if to say, Trouble, Griji is crazy!

Griji continued, “Don’t exaggerate so much, will you guys?”

“The enemy is much weaker than you guys think, at the beginning of the outbreak of the Osa War, the Sardinian Kingdom only had 23,000 troops, now it has swelled to 200,000.

The three divisions on the opposite side are so expanded. Before the expansion, they had at most three regiments, and it’s even possible that they were expanded out of one or two regiments.

From the outbreak of the Great War at the end of March until now, this war was less than two months ago, the Kingdom of Sardinia expanded its army by nearly ten times.

You all have trained troops, who can train an elite force in just over a month’s time?

There are also nearly four layers of soldiers from Lombardy, you all know how the quality of soldiers in Lombardy is, right?

With these people in there dragging their feet, how much better do you think they are than us?”

Hearing Grigi’s explanation, a strange luster flashed in the eyes of the two men. As soldiers of the Austrian Empire, they were still arrogant.

As a member of the European powers, the Austrian Army’s combat power was still ranked at the forefront of the world, they thought they were not weak, and they had even more of a heart advantage over the Sardinian Kingdom.

Ham thought for a moment and said, “Grigi, what are you going to do? Realize that right now you are the garrison commander of Trento, and both of us are under your command.”

Grigi glared at him fiercely, if he could really command the entire army, would he still need to take out this opportunity to divide it?

“Cut the crap, if you want to take credit then we’ll do it together. If you kid if you’re afraid, no matter I’ll join forces with Barker, we can bite off a piece of meat just the same!” Grigi said with a sneer

Joking, wanting to take credit but not wanting to take responsibility, how is this possible? Griji wasn’t stupid, one more person involved was one more to share the pressure, how could he take all the risks alone?

……

In the early morning of May 20th, a pair of eight hundred men in the Austrian barracks, secretly assembled.

A night attack? A very challenging endeavor for an army of this era, the biggest problem being that many of the soldiers suffered from night blindness and were unable to fight at night.

Grigi didn’t know about night blindness, but he knew that many soldiers couldn’t see at night. This death squad of eight hundred men was carefully selected by him.

“Ambridge, are you boy ready? If you’re scared, it’s not too late to quit, no one will laugh at you.” Grigi joked

“No, I am not going to quit. Your Excellency the Commander, I will become a great noble!” Ambridge replied seriously

There will be a brave man when there is a heavy reward, most of these soldiers, including Ambridge, participated in this operation because of Grigi’s promise.

Ten hectares of land per person to buy their lives, regardless of victory or defeat, life or death. If successful, then the five people with the most credit will receive knighthoods, which was personally approved by Marshal Radetzky.
