Responsible for the attack on Tongzhou is the first regiment of the People's Army, which is also one of the two main regiments of the People's Army, not only fully equipped with all arms, but also all-German equipment, so it is also known as the German Armament Regiment, and the task of attacking Beijing in the first battle naturally falls on the first regiment.

The Central Military Commission decided to let the first regiment take a train and then get off the train to fight after arriving near Tongzhou, so the speed of the march was fast, and now that the talks had just broken down and Beijing did not know about it, it raided Tongzhou with lightning speed and strived to take Tongzhou in one fell swoop; second, it also saved the soldiers' physical strength and ensured that the soldiers were energetic in their operations.

Although it is quite risky to attack by train, it is very dangerous to be detected by the enemy, sabotage the railway line, or bombard the train with artillery. But traversers can dispatch drones to monitor the railway line, so safety along the railway line can be ensured.

The first train is 10 carriages, loaded with three combat battalions and a firepower reinforcement battalion, each battalion occupies three carriages; the second train carries an artillery battalion, which is 12 carriages, of which 9 carriages carry personnel and weapons, and the other one is a front-line command carriage, which is equipped with various electronic communication video equipment to ensure that the situation of the entire battlefield can be observed through unmanned aerial vehicles, and can be protected and contacted with various units at any time to direct operations, and the two commanders of the forward command are army commander Zhu Yapinghe。 There are also 2 flatbed carriages for parking unmanned helicopters.

The two trains departed from Tianjin Railway Station at about 9 p.m. that day, and traveled in the direction of Beijing at a distance of about 5 kilometers apart, and the expected time to arrive in Tongzhou was around 4-5 a.m., which was also the time carefully set by the Military Commission when formulating the battle plan.

Although the garrison of Tongzhou was not strong, the Military Commission attached great importance to this battle, not only because it was the first battle to attack Beijing, but also because it was the first battle in which the Crossing Army had not been formed. Although the number of people crossing the army is not large, but the training is strict, the weapons and equipment are excellent, after coming to this era, after several battles, has accumulated enough actual combat experience, coupled with the combat system that seems to be close to an artifact in this era, so the combat effectiveness of the crossing army is far from being measured by the number of people. In the battle of attacking Qingdao, although the People's Army has begun to provoke the main beam, the crossing army still plays the role of the anchor in this entire campaign, as long as there is a crossing army on the battlefield, the People's Army will have the backbone and the confidence and courage to defeat any opponent.

And this time, including from now on, there will basically be no more formed crossing troops on the battlefield, and all local soldiers will officially serve as the main force on the battlefield from now on. Of course, this is also a matter of time, after all, there are only so many people in the crossing army, and they always have to use local soldiers to fight. If the first battle is successfully fought and the KPA builds up self-confidence, it will embark on the track of benign development in the future, otherwise it will be very difficult. The traverser chose Tongzhou to do the first battle, and he also officially took a fancy to the weak defense of Tongzhou, and the traverser dispatched a whole regiment with a strength of about 3,500 people, and they were completely killing chickens with knives.

In addition, the preliminary preparations have also been done very well, first of all, the terrain and buildings of the Tongzhou Railway Station, the traverser has been reconnoitred by the UAV, and a simple building model has been built in Tianjin, so that the soldiers have carried out many offensive and defensive drills, and the day and night battles have been rehearsed, although it cannot be said that this battle can be fought with eyes closed, but the People's Army has indeed made all kinds of preparations, just waiting for the war.

At the same time in Tianjin, the crossing group set up the rear headquarters on the Changbaishan ship, because in the old time and space, the Changbaishan ship is China's most advanced, combat, and projection capability amphibious assault ship, so when it was designed, it was considered as a command ship for amphibious operations, and a large number of electronic communications and video equipment were installed for the information exchange of command operations. The degree of informatization is more powerful than that of the Changbaishan warship, but the Kunming warship is a surface combat ship, and its command capability focuses on surface operations, while the Changbaishan warship is to command amphibious landing operations, so it is more appropriate to use the Changbaishan warship to command this battle.

Although there is no satellite and Internet system in this era, and there is a lack of corresponding information and data, it is impossible to monitor the battlefield in an all-round way, but after all, the Changbai Mountain ship has a powerful electrical function, and can still be directly connected to UAVs, amphibious combat vehicles, helicopters, At the same time, for this battle, the traverser also plans to dispatch three unmanned aerial vehicles, one WZ-2000 UAV monitors the entire battlefield at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, which can partially replace the role of satellites; the other is the WZ-5B unmanned helicopter, which is at the bottom of 1500-3000, to monitor the battlefield at close range; and there is also a WZ-5B unmanned helicopter, which is to follow the train forward and monitor the situation along the train。 Therefore, it can basically ensure that the command has a comprehensive and timely understanding of the entire battlefield situation.

In charge of the rear command were Xiao Jianjun and the captain of the Changbai Mountain ship, Lu Kai, the deputy captain Zhang Zichen, the deputy political commissar Zhu Wenxiang, and others, while the political commissar of the Changbai Mountain ship, Liu Lantao, was now working in Shanghai, so he did not command the battle. And the current top leader of the crossing group, the commander of the crossing fleet, Xia Bohai, did not appear on the Changbaishan ship and remained in Tianjin.

It turned out that Xia Bohai considered that now his identity should be changed from a soldier to a leader, and he could no longer just be the commander of the army, so he only needed to make strategic decisions, and the tactical command work of the whole body would be handed over to the Central Military Commission to be responsible. Of course, if there is a major Guanjian battle, he can personally go to the command site to boost morale, but this battle is actually not a big war, and its symbolic significance is greater than the substantive significance, so Xia Bohai chose to stay in Tianjin and wait for news, but did not interfere in the matter of commanding the operation.

Since this time it should start at about 4-5 o'clock in the morning, from 9 o'clock in the evening, only one person was left on duty in the command room of the Changbaishan ship, and the others took turns to sleep and rest, so as to recharge their energy and prepare to command the operation.

At about three o'clock in the morning, Xiao Jianjun, Lu Kai, Zhu Wenxiang and others all got up and came to the command room, and the last person on duty Lu Kai reported to them that at this time, the No. 1 train had already traveled to the Xianghe area, which was about 30 kilometers away from Tongzhou, and at the speed of the train in this era, that is, about an hour. Of course, it is impossible for the train of the traverser to go directly to the Tongzhou railway station, and it is expected to stop at a distance of about 10-12 kilometers from the railway station, and the soldiers will get off the train and attack the Tongzhou railway station on foot. Therefore, it takes about 40 minutes for the actual train to travel.

On the central display screen of the command room of the Changbai Mountain ship, the current position of the two trains is being displayed, and in the thermal imaging screen, the two trains are moving one after the other. And at this time, other relevant personnel are also in place, each monitoring monitor is turned on one by one, and the corresponding situation is reported to them.

After understanding these situations, Xiao Jianjun also nodded and said, "How is the situation at Tongzhou Railway Station?"

Lu Kai said: "At 2 o'clock in the morning, the WZ-5B unmanned helicopter was dispatched to reconnoiter once, and there was basically no abnormal situation, but now it should be possible to launch the WZ-2000 drone." ”

Xiao Jianjun thought for a while and said, "Okay, launch the WZ-2000 drone, and notify the No. 1 and No. 2 trains separately so that they can prepare to get off." ”

It turns out that the UAVs carried by the fleet this time are all carrier-based types, and the time in the air is limited, generally about 3-5 hours, so it is impossible to monitor the battlefield for a long time, and the WZ-5B is an unmanned helicopter, which can be transported by train, and can take off and land on a moving train, while the WZ-2000 is a fixed-wing UAV, which can only take off with the rocket thruster on the ship, and once landed, it can no longer take off. Therefore, the traverser has not launched the WZ-2000 UAV now, and the WZ-5B unmanned helicopter also takes off every 2 hours, goes around the sky over Tongzhou, and then flies back to the train to park.

But now it's almost time, so the fighters of the aviation crew on the Changbaishan ship immediately pushed the WZ-2000 UAV out of the hangar, parked it on the wide flight deck of the Changbaishan ship, and hung up the rocket booster. And the drone operator in the hangar activated the rocket booster, and the WZ-2000 drone swept through the flight deck at the stern of the ship, flew into the sky, and after a short time, disappeared into the dark night sky.

The comfort of the train in this era is naturally not comparable to that in the old time and space, and it is still a container-style car, although there are a few windows on the side wall, the car is still very stuffy. Fortunately, it is the middle of February, and the climate is cold, so I don't feel hot, otherwise it will be uncomfortable. However, it was 9 o'clock in the evening when they got on the train, and the soldiers fell asleep after getting on the train, and the shaking of the train made most of the soldiers fall asleep quickly, and the whole carriage was full of noise.

And Luo Yue only slept for two hours and couldn't sleep, so after inspecting the three carriages of his battalion, he came to the position where the carriages were handed over and stopped, blowing a cold breeze, and breathing fresh air, which was also the prerogative of the battalion commander, and ordinary soldiers could not get out of the carriage for no reason.

I don't know how many times Luo Yue came to the position of the carriage handover, but this time Luo Yue didn't stay for long, and a signal came from his walkie-talkie, Luo Yue turned on the walkie-talkie, and it was a notice from the front-line command: Prepare to get off.
