New Year’s Day, 1953!

East of the Perth,

3st Battalion, 1rd Brigade,

The sky finally dawned,

But for Xu Yingchun,

It's a long night.

Because he was so excited that he almost didn't sleep all night!

Today is his first day on the battlefield!

The kitchen staff has prepared breakfast.

Boiled eggs, milk, fried cod, meat buns, steamed buns, and braised beef cubes.

Soldiers can eat as much as they want, no limit!

Xu Yingchun took his lunch box and ordered a large portion of beef. This tender Australian beef was his favorite and he ate at least one pound of it almost every day!

19-year-old Xu Yingchun is from Rudong, Jiangsu. His family immigrated to Mudan City in April last year. He did not choose to follow his parents to farm, but signed up to join the army!

Because in Haizhou Country, soldiers are treated very generously, even during the first three months at the recruit training center, Xu Yingchun's monthly income reached 3000 yuan!

After passing the training, he officially joined the army, and his monthly salary immediately increased to 5000 yuan! After he came to Australia, he also received a combat allowance of 40 yuan a day!

Moreover, for every month he serves in the army, the Army Command will deposit an additional subsidy of 1500 yuan in his account, which will be paid to him together with his pension when he retires!

After breakfast,

All the battalions, gather and pack up!

on the playground,

The roar of the engine had torn it apart. Various types of chariots were arranged in a steel formation, and the dark green bodies glowed with a cold metallic luster in the sun.

The soldiers, dressed in yellow-green camouflage uniforms with bulging magazine pouches on their chests, were packing their personal supplies and loading them onto the tanks. Their movements were quick and skillful, and they occasionally communicated in low voices, but their voices were swallowed up by the whistling wind.

In the center of the camp, on an off-road vehicle, the battalion commander, Major Jia Donghui, was scanning the troops ready to go with a telescope.

On the side panel of Xu Yingchun's armored vehicle, someone had written in white paint the four characters "Trampling the Enemy Camp".

Following an order, the convoy started slowly, kicking up a cloud of dust and speeding off into the distance, leaving behind only an empty camp and fallen leaves, telling of the determination of this iron army to rush to the battlefield.

Xu Yingchun and five of his comrades were riding in the Canglang 3 wheeled fully enclosed armored reconnaissance vehicle and were walking in front of the convoy!

The armored vehicle is equipped with a 20mm machine gun and a periscope that can rotate 360 ​​degrees!

In the carriage,

Xu Yingchun held his Type 52 semi-automatic rifle in his arms, observing the movements around him through the firing hole from time to time!

The convoy was driving on a road that stretched as far as the eye could see, with wheat fields on both sides, like a fresh pastoral painting. Looking far into the distance, the vast wheat fields were rippling with layers of green waves in the breeze, like a green ocean, extending all the way to the skyline, contrasting with the azure blue sky!

From time to time, groups of planes would fly across the sky, heading towards the eastern region. They were the Qinglong fighter jets of the Army Aviation!

Observer Qian Bing held the periscope and said jokingly,

"Do you think there might be guerrillas in this wheat field?"

After hearing this, the machine gunner Tong Zonghai immediately became excited and suggested,

"Squad leader? Do you want me to fire a round?"

The squad leader Ma Jinyuan waved his hand.

"Forget it, it would be a shame to destroy the wheat field. We are not attacked, why are you hitting him?"

The troops have issued orders many times, asking people to avoid damaging transportation facilities and other buildings as much as possible, so as to avoid the need for large-scale repairs later!

The pilot's voice came from the microphone.

"Army Aviation 00475 aircraft reports, there is no situation within 30 kilometers ahead! No situation! We continue to scout forward!"

In addition to the Qinglong fighter jets, five Suzaku reconnaissance planes were circling back and forth at an altitude of 10,000 meters, from Perth to Hampton Station in South Australia, and were also quietly observing the movements on the ground!

At 4 p.m.,

Paz Front Command,

Ding Shan learned that

Today, the joint ground forces composed of the 3rd Mechanized Brigade of Haizhou State and the 2nd Armored Infantry Division of Indonesia actually advanced a total of 100 kilometers without encountering any resistance.

This is consistent with the reconnaissance results of the Suzaku reconnaissance aircraft in the early stage. After several months of aerial reconnaissance, the Suzaku aircraft did not find any signs of Allied activities in Western Australia.

Allied forces should have gathered in the East Australia region, quietly waiting for the coalition attack!

However, it was not a good thing for the ground forces to advance too quickly. Ding Shan immediately ordered a radio message, instructing the 3rd Mechanized Brigade to not advance more than 30 kilometers a day starting tomorrow!

On the same day, the 1st Task Force of the Haizhou Navy deployed in Port Hedland also weighed anchor and set sail.

This task force includes 3 aircraft carriers, 2 cruisers, 6 destroyers, 5 submarines and 17 supply ships, tankers and other ships!

The task force sailed slowly southward along the west coast at a speed of 20 knots, 24 hours a day!

When the ground forces advance beyond 300 kilometers from Perth, the air support will be taken over by the Naval Aviation Force, and the Army Aviation Force will build the airport. After the airport is completed, the ground forces will continue to advance!

Such an arrangement can allow the naval aviation and the army aviation to closely support each other!

Haizhou City,

Dengyun Restaurant,

The main dish of this restaurant is Cantonese cuisine.

In a VIP room on the second floor,

Lei Zhi's face was as gloomy as the sky, as gloomy as if water could be squeezed out of it. He picked up the wine in his hand, raised his head and drank it all!

Today, in the fierce competition for the 1953-02 plot in Haizhou City, Zhixing Real Estate was defeated again, and as luck would have it, its opponent was Chaoying Real Estate! This made Lei Zhi feel very embarrassed, after all, Haizhou City was his territory!

Counting the previous defeats, he has lost to Chaoying Real Estate three times. New and old grudges surged into his mind like a burning flame, filling his heart with resentment. All kinds of thoughts of revenge surged in his mind, like a tide!

On the side, brother Lei Tian comforted him,

"I said to Zhi, how much money is enough? When we run a business, we should not only pursue economic benefits, but also social responsibility. For example, I put the needs of customers first. I don't pursue scale and profit. As long as the customers are satisfied, I am happy and feel fulfilled!"

Lei Zhi sighed.

"Brother, this is shameful. I am a well-known figure in the real estate industry, and now I am being laughed at by my peers!"

Lei Tian advised,

"Victory and defeat are common in the military, don't worry about it. My belief is that life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the hands of God, everything is predetermined by fate, and can't be forced!"

Lei Zhi filled another glass of wine.

"Brother, I can't swallow this. I want to give it a try. I was born into a military family. I don't believe in fate. Everything I have now was earned by myself!"
