Liu Jun jumped off the train carrying his "Qi" breech-loading gun.
The Qi rifle is a new type of rifle that was put into service last year. It not only fully realizes breech loading, but also increases the ammunition supply structure of the magazine. The technology of this thing is not complicated, but it is revolutionary for improving the rate of fire.
With the magazine, the shooter does not need to reload the gun for the second shot, and the rifle's rate of fire directly reaches two seconds per round.
Of course, for Liu Jun, this new rifle is something he is accustomed to. He doesn’t know how many times he has shot targets and hunted hares with this Qi-type rifle. Now even if there is no light at night, Liu Jun can still
Able to skillfully load the rifle with bullets and raise the gun to shoot.
Liu Jun is from Guizhou, 18 years old, and a recruit of the Tiger Army. After Li Zhi ascended the throne last year, the local officials in Guizhou were dismayed, and Guizhou was immediately included in the territory of the new empire. Although Liu Jun was originally from Liupanshui, Guizhou
An ordinary military household, but overnight, he got rid of his humble status as a military household and became a dignified Daqi civilian.
Liu Jun's life has undergone earth-shaking changes. The land rent that was originally exploited by the guards officers does not need to be paid, various restrictions on personal freedom have been lifted, and Liu Jun even received advertisements for recruits from the Huben Army.
The new emperor Li Zhizhi traveled all over the world. After he ascended the throne, he vigorously expanded the number of the Huben Army. Now the troops of the Huben Army are no longer limited to one town and nine provinces, but have begun to recruit from all over the country. Liu Jun went through many physical examinations and interviews, and finally became a
A proud soldier of the Tiger Army.
After a year of training, Liu Jun is already a qualified veteran. Originally, his team was training in Henan, but suddenly the troops were mobilized, and he boarded the train and drove to Tianjin with the team.
There are rumors in the army that this transfer will not only go to Tianjin, but also go to sea to fight.
The train did not stop at the platform. For the highly organized Tiger Army, the best place to get off was the wilderness outside the train station. Thousands of strong soldiers grabbed their carrying equipment and got off the train.
They jumped off one by one and quickly assembled in the wilderness next to the railway.
Nowadays, the baggage transportation of the Huben Army has become more and more refined. Quilts, ammunition and supplies are all transported by specialized baggage troops. The carrying equipment of combatants is very simple, which only contains ammunition, melee bayonets, grenades and other equipment.
, these things are completely designed to be carried into battle immediately, and they are very light.
Liu Jun followed his squad and walked in the wilderness for a while before joining the long marching team. These soldiers wearing steel helmets and green camouflage uniforms walked calmly and orderly, looking like the American soldiers of later generations.
Although the soldiers did not move in uniform steps, they gave people a sense of majesty.
Among the combatants were some baggage troops and heavy weapons transport troops.
The team's goal is not far away, it is Dagu Port in Tianjin, five kilometers away. Apparently the rumors in the army are true. This time the Guizhou team's mission is to fight overseas.
A big man in front of Liu Jun turned his head to look at Liu Jun as he walked, and grinned and said, "We're going to beat the white people."
Liu Jun was stunned and asked: "Aren't white people in Europe? So far away?"
The recruits of the Huben Army not only have to practice combat skills, but also learn literacy and cultural classes. After a year of study, Liu Jun already has considerable common sense and knows basic geography and history. He can be regarded as a rare savvy person in this era.
Liu Jun had a clear idea of the distance between white Europeans and Tianjin.
The deputy squad leader next to him smiled and said: "White people are seeking death and dare to attack Portugal, our slave country."
Liu Jun took a breath, tightened the rifle on his shoulder, and asked: "How many white people are there?"
The deputy squad leader looked at Dagu Port, which was getting closer and closer in front of him, and said, "It's about a million, or more."
When Liu Jun heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
What is the concept of a million? This time the Huben Army expanded its army and only recruited 200,000 new troops nationwide. In the New World, India's veterans are restrained by local enemies and cannot be easily mobilized. For example, the marshals in India
Li Laosi commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to confront the Ottoman Turks and Persia.
His Majesty the Emperor wants to use 200,000 new troops to defeat the millions of white European troops? The key is the word "even more". The manpower that Europeans can mobilize to fight on the mainland is almost unlimited. No matter how good the Tiger Army is, it will be difficult for them to fight.
Tens of thousands of miles away, one against ten.
Liu Jun felt that the situation was a bit serious.
The big man in the front row said angrily: "Deputy squad leader, this is our first time to go on an expedition, will we die on the battlefield wrapped in horse leather?"
The deputy squad leader snorted coldly and said: "Run if you are told to run, rush if you are told to rush, don't think about anything else at all."
Liu Jun grinned and said, "Deputy squad leader, do we have infantry fighting vehicles this time?"
The infantry fighting vehicle showed great power in the Battle of Tianjin and India, and has become the anchor of the Tiger Army. Now, as long as the soldiers of the Tiger Army stand near the infantry fighting vehicle, they are not afraid of defeat and sacrifice at all, and they dare to move forward with their heads buried.
rush.
The deputy squad leader was very optimistic about Liu Jun and was relatively tolerant of him. He said patiently: "Yes, there are infantry fighting vehicles to help."
The big man grinned and said: "But deputy squad leader, how much gasoline does a big infantry fighting vehicle consume? Can our ships transport so much gasoline to Europe? How many infantry fighting vehicles can actually go on the battlefield? One hundred
One car? Two hundred cars? It’s useless!”
The big man's suspicion is very reasonable.
Infantry fighting vehicles are extremely fuel-consuming. They weigh more than thirty tons and burn gasoline faster than a cow drinking water. Each infantry fighting vehicle requires three huge fuel tankers behind it on the battlefield and on the battlefield.
They shuttle back and forth between ports to provide supplies. These tankers correspond to extremely precious ocean-going ships.
Although Li Zhi's Daqi was powerful, there were no more than 1,300 ships that could transport oceans to Europe. Infantry fighting vehicles were very inefficient in terms of logistics. Li Zhi's logistics system could support more than 600 infantry vehicles.
The tanks are fighting in India, but I am afraid they can only support more than a hundred fighting in Europe.
The deputy monitor frowned and glared at the big man.
"Can the Emperor make a mistake in his decision? If the Emperor asks you to fight, can you win the war? From Fanjiazhuang to India, the Emperor has lost one battle? Are you, a yellow-haired soldier, worried about the Emperor?"
The big man smiled coquettishly and did not dare to argue anymore.
Now is the second year of Daqi Gongde, and Emperor Li Zhi's reputation is at its peak. No matter whether it is north or south or up and down the Yellow River, no one doubts Li Zhi's ability. The legend of Li Zhi descending from the stars has penetrated into every corner of the Chinese Empire. As long as it is
Everyone felt that the decision Li Zhi made must be the right one.
Liu Jun smiled when he heard what the deputy squad leader said.
"Big man! The Emperor has already let us attack him, so what are we afraid of? Donkey Hair Ball, even if he dies, he will still get a pension."
The deputy squad leader stopped talking nonsense with the two privates. He looked at the huge towed artillery in front. Those huge towed artillery were towed by cars and covered with thick rubber sheets. Behind the cannons were cars loaded with shells.
The oxcart was also packed tightly and was very mysterious.
The deputy squad leader looked at the artillery pieces for a while, his eyes filled with confidence in the war, and he smiled easily.
