Chapter 457: Armored Camping

The geographical concept of Central Asia and Central Asia was first proposed by the German Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) in 1843, but with Liu Xie, anything that did not happen became possible.

But it was said that Liu Xue was standing on the roof of the chariot, facing the wind, shouting excitedly, Liu Xie was worried about her, so he stopped her in the car on the side, but the sound of the machine engine was too noisy, Liu Xue couldn't hear it at all.

However, Liu Xie soon found out that in the car, several soldiers were holding her legs at Liu Xue's feet to prevent her from falling, so he was relieved.

There were soldiers in the car who saw the emperor shouting, and hurriedly reminded Liu Xue, Liu Xue turned around and saw his father in the approaching car, so he stuck out his tongue in fright and quickly sat down.

Liu Xie was angry and funny, he also sat down on the roof of the car, and after a while, he saw that Aithea was also on the roof of another chariot nearby, waving to him.

Seeing such a large scale of armored troops, Liu Xie couldn't help but sigh with emotion, if this was unimaginable 20 years ago, it means that ten years ago, when the mind printer was not obtained, the Han army did not have such a large-scale development.

The mechanization of the military has caused the number of soldiers in the army to become smaller and smaller, for example, in this expedition to Kushan, the ground troops only need more than 5,000 people.

If this is placed in the past, in the era of bows and crossbows, at least 100,000 people were needed, and they were all combat troops, and they also needed to follow a logistics supply team of 100,000 people.

In addition to the 5,000-man armored infantry mixed division, there was also a logistics unit of the same 5,000 people following up on this expedition to Guishan.

In addition to these five thousand + five thousand ground troops, there is also the airborne troops tonight, and one thousand airborne troops will be airborne to the Modala Palace in the capital city of Guishan before ten o'clock in the evening.

Emperor Kushan secretly sent Atta Yi with the airborne troops, so he was not with the ground troops. The maps he provided were very useful, and they allowed the ground troops to move without taking a lot of wrongful paths.

You must know that Kushanhe is located at the southern foot of the Himalayas, the terrain is complex, and it is really difficult to walk without a map.

On the way to Madara, the people of Kushan could be seen everywhere, and the Han army distributed leaflets along the way, promoting the welfare of the Han army, as well as the current superior life of Baicheng and Funan.

Only by supporting the Han army, in the future, they will also live a rich life like the people of Baicheng, and ordinary people can get rich!

The most important propaganda is that the Han army is here to clear the gate for Emperor Vesudeva, so as long as the people who are ministers of Agulun must surrender, they can either surrender like Emperor Vesudeva or choose to surrender to the Han army.

In short, after propaganda along the way, most of the Guishan troops along the way, whether they were the emperor's people or the ministers' people, did not dare to make a move against the Han army on the march, but just watched from afar, after all, there were so many big iron guys, they had never seen it.

Due to the complex terrain, the marching speed was not very fast, so by night, there was still a long distance from the capital city of Modara.

Originally, it was planned to have the driver of the tank and the tank exchange to march continuously, but considering that there were still many soldiers "hanging" outside the vehicle, the plan to continue marching was abandoned, camping instead, and setting off again early tomorrow morning.

When it was almost dark, the team stopped to rest in one place, and Liu Xie summoned several commanders to come over to discuss the next plan of action.

In order to raise a few children, he also called several children over the age of ten and asked them to participate in the discussion.

Everyone thinks that it is a good choice to correct overnight and continue to move forward tomorrow, as for the 1,000 airborne troops airdropped to the capital, everyone is more at ease with them, because the Han army has an absolute advantage in weapons, and this 1,000 airborne troops will not encounter much resistance, even if there is, in the face of Guishuang's cold weapons, it is also an overwhelming absolute advantage!

The children also expressed their opinions, but Liu Xue didn't speak, looking thoughtful, Liu Xie asked: "During the day, are you quite arrogant from time to time?" Why didn't you speak this time? ”

Liu Xue said: "Father, my son is thinking, our weapons do have an overwhelming advantage, but after all, we have few people, and we are still on the land of another country, the time and place are favorable, and we don't have an advantage." ”

"And what about your opinion?"

"Erchen thinks that if you let a hundred tanks go first, the infantry will have to keep up......"

Before Liu Xue finished speaking, the prince immediately objected: "A hundred tanks can hang seven or eight hundred infantry, if you let these tanks pass first, then tomorrow there will be seven or eight hundred infantry on foot!" ”

Liu Xue said: "Infantry infantry is a walking soldier, this is fortunate to have tanks, so if there are no tank fighting vehicles, the infantry will not be able to live?" And we're not far from the capital now, so tomorrow the seven or eight hundred infantry won't have to walk too far." ”

Liu Xue paused and said: "My suggestion, the main concern is the safety of the 1,000 airborne troops, you think about it, 1,000 airborne troops will become infantry when they reach the ground, and the tanks will obviously play a deterrent role, and to a large extent, effectively protect the safety of the airborne troops, and greatly reduce the casualty rate!" ”

Liu Xie nodded and asked: "And we still have two hundred chariots here, so our safety can also be guaranteed, I support Liu Xue's point of view." ”

"Thank you, Father!"

Liu Xie called the officers of the tank brigade over and asked, "How long will it take to reach the capital at this speed?" ”

The officer said, "Back to Your Majesty, if you estimate conservatively, it will take about five or six hours. ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Then you work hard and go to the capital immediately to support the airborne troops." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The will was delivered, the engines roared, and a hundred tanks started to go to the capital overnight.

Liu Xie also asked people to contact the Inpu Airport and inform the airborne troops and the tank regiment to maintain radio contact, so that they could do a good job of ground-air countermeasures when the time came.

In the evening, except for those who took turns to stand guard, everyone camped and rested, and Liu Xie called Althea and Liu Xue to lie on the open ground with him to rest, Aithea on the left and Liu Xue on the right.

Looking at the stars in the sky, Liu Xie said, "How about it, you two ladies, don't you feel very hard to follow me on the march?" ”

Althea smiled: "Hard work must be hard work, but Your Majesty, isn't this kind of hard work a kind of fun?" A comfortable life is boring. ”

Liu Xie nodded and said: "But the marching army eats rough dry food, and most of them sleep in the open air, and when it comes to rain and snow, they will suffer even more." ”

Aithia said: "Your Majesty's daughter can stand it, I can't stand it, it's just that I feel sorry for our Snow White, this thin skin and tender meat." ”
