Liu Jun carried his "Qi" rear-loading gun and jumped off the train.

The Qi rifle is a new type of rifle that began to be installed in the troops last year, and it not only completely 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 an increase in the rate of fire. With the magazine, the shooter does not need to reload the second shot, and the rifle rate of fire reaches two seconds per second.

Of course, for Liu Jun, this new rifle is already something that he is accustomed to. He didn't know how many times he had shot at the target with this Qi rifle, how many times he had hit a hare. Now, even if there is no light at night, Liu Jun can skillfully load his rifle with bullets and raise his gun to shoot.

Liu Jun is a native of Guizhou, eighteen years old, and a recruit of the Tiger Army. After Li Zhi ascended the throne last year, the local officials in Guizhou fell to the wind, and Guizhou was included in the territory of the new empire for the first time. Although Liu Jun was originally an ordinary military household in Liupanshui, Guizhou, overnight, he got rid of the lowly status of a military household and became a dignified Daqi civilian.

Liu Jun's life has changed dramatically. The land rent, which had to be exploited by the officers of the guard, was no longer required to be paid, restrictions on personal freedom were lifted, and Liu Jun even received advertisements for recruits from the Tiger Army.

The new emperor Li Zhizhi was in the four seas, and after ascending the throne, he vigorously expanded the number of tiger army. Now the source of the Tiger Army's troops is not limited to one town and nine provinces, and it has begun to recruit from all over the country. Liu Jun passed several physical examinations and interviews, and finally became 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 moved, and he boarded the train and drove with the team to Tianjin.

It was rumored in the army that this transfer was not only to Tianjin, but also to go to sea to fight.

The train didn't stop at the platform, and the best drop-off point for the highly organized Tiger Benjun was in the wilderness outside the train station. Thousands of able-bodied soldiers jumped off the train one by one, grabbing their carrying gears, and soon assembled in the wilderness next to the railway.

Nowadays, the transportation of the baggage of the Tiger Ben Army has become more and more refined, and the quilts, ammunition and supplies are all transported by the special baggage army. The combatants' carrying gear was very simple, containing only ammunition, melee bayonets, grenades and other equipment, which were carried completely for the immediate purpose of entering the battle, and were very lightweight.

Liu Jun followed his squad through the wilderness for a while, and then joined the long march. These soldiers, wearing steel helmets and green camouflage uniforms, walked calmly and orderly, looking like American GIs of later generations. Although it is not a uniform pace, it makes people feel a kind of awe-inspiring majesty.

The ranks of combatants were interspersed with a number of baggage units and heavy weapons transport units.

The team's goal is not far away, it is the port of Dagu in Tianjin, which is five kilometers away. Obviously, the rumors in the army are true, and this time the Guizhou team is tasked with fighting overseas.

A big man in front of Liu Jun turned his head to look at Liu Jun as he walked, and said with a grin, "I'm going to fight the white man." ”

Liu Jun was stunned and asked, "Aren't white people in Europe?" So far? ”

Recruits of the Tiger Army not only have to practice combat skills, but also learn literacy and cultural lessons. After a year of study, Liu Jun already has a lot of common sense, knows basic geography and history, and can be regarded as a rare person who understands 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, "The white people are looking for death and dare to beat our client country Portugal." ”

Liu Jun took a breath, gathered the Qi rifle on his shoulder, and asked, "How many whites are there?" ”

The deputy squad leader looked at Dagu Port, which was getting closer and closer, and said, "Million, or more." ”

When Liu Jun heard this, he sighed in his heart,

What is the concept of millions? The Tiger Ben Army only recruited 200,000 new troops nationwide in this large-scale expansion. And the veterans of the New World and India were all pinned down by the local enemy and could not be easily mobilized. For example, Marshal Li Laosi in India commanded more than 100,000 troops to confront Ottoman Turkey and Persia.

His Majesty the Emperor wants to crush the army of a million white Europeans with 200,000 new troops? The point is the words "even more", the Europeans fought on their own soil, and the manpower that could be mobilized was almost endless. No matter how good the Tiger Army is, it is difficult to defeat ten with one enemy from tens of thousands of miles away.

Liu Jun felt that the situation was somewhat grim.

The big man in the front row said stupidly: "Deputy squad leader, our first expedition, we won't die on the battlefield with the horse leather shroud, right?" ”

The deputy squad leader snorted coldly and said, "If you let you run, you will run, and if you are allowed to rush, you will rush, and don't think about anything else." ”

Liu Jun grinned and said, "Deputy squad leader, do we have infantry fighting vehicles this time?" ”

The infantry fighting vehicle showed its might in the Battle of Tianjin and India, and has become the anchor of the Tiger Army's military heart. Now as long as the soldiers of the Tiger Army stand near the infantry fighting vehicles, they will not be afraid of defeat and sacrifice at all, and dare to rush forward with their heads buried in their heads.

The deputy squad leader was very optimistic about Liu Jun and was more tolerant of him, and 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 guy like an infantry fighting vehicle consume?" Can our ships carry so much gasoline to Europe? How many infantry fighting vehicles can actually go to the battlefield? A hundred? Two hundred? It's not useful! ”

The big man's suspicions are quite justified.

Infantry fighting vehicles are extremely fuel-guzzling, weighing more than thirty tons, and burning gasoline faster than a cow can drink water. Behind each infantry fighting vehicle is three huge tanker trucks that shuttle back and forth between the battlefield and the port to provide supplies. And these tankers correspond to the extremely precious ocean-going ships.

Although Li Zhi's Great Qi was powerful, there were no more than 1,300 ships that could transport it to Europe by sea. Infantry fighting vehicles are very logistically inefficient. Li Zhi's logistics system can support more than 600 infantry fighting vehicles fighting in India, but I am afraid it can only support more than 100 in Europe.

The deputy squad leader frowned and glared at the big man.

"Can the decision made by the Son of Heaven be wrong? The Son of Heaven asked you to go to war, can you defeat the war? From Fanjiazhuang to India, the Son of Heaven fought a defeat? Are you a yellow-haired soldier worried about the Son of Heaven? ”

The big man smiled wryly, not daring to argue any more.

It is now the second year of the Great Qi Gongde, and the prestige of Emperor Li Zhi is skyrocketing. Nowadays, whether it is north or south of the river or up and down the Yellow River, no one doubts Li Zhi's ability. The legend that Li Zhi descended from the stars has penetrated into every corner of the Chinese Empire. As long as Li Zhi made a decision, everyone felt that it must be correct.

Liu Jun smiled when he heard the words of the deputy squad leader.

"Big man! The Son of Heaven has let us rush, what are we afraid of? Donkey hairball, even if it dies, there is also a pension. ”

The deputy squad leader stopped talking nonsense with the two privates, he looked at the front of a huge batch of towed artillery. The huge towed guns were towed by cars and covered with thick rubber cloths. Behind the cannon are ox carts full of shells, also tightly wrapped and very mysterious.

The deputy squad leader looked at the artillery for a while, and his eyes were full of confidence in the war,
