When the special train arrived at Lanchi, it was already the next day, and I saw that the Lanchi station was densely packed with the marching team, including chariots and tanks, as well as a large number of soldiers.

Since the Second Industrial Revolution in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the driving of expeditions has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the once cavalry-based combat mode has been eliminated.

Cavalry, which is an ancient type of troops, has completely withdrawn from the stage of history.

In the early days of the development of firearms, there was also the use of lancers, that is, cavalry with semi-automatic rifles. However, in practical application, it was found that this class was actually very weak, so it was slowly eliminated.

Individual weapons are gradually being upgraded, and the Bu-14 semi-automatic rifle imitating the M1 Garand is also beginning to be replaced by the latest Bu-19 gun family.

There are four major families of the Bu-19 gun family: fully automatic assault rifles, semi-automatic sniper rifles, and squad light machine guns.

as well as Type 19 pistols, submachine guns and other individual weapons.

Since the cavalry has been abolished, there will be a corresponding class, that is, the armored army, and the chariots and tanks will be mixed and advance together.

The Eastern Han Dynasty Type 19 tracked infantry chariot has a crew of 2+9 people, of which the first 2 are drivers, including the driver and the gunner. The last 9 are carrying infantry.

Infantry was basically transported to the battlefield by armoured infantry vehicles, which was more efficient than cavalry marches before.

In addition to troop transport, there is also a way to transport troops, that is, transport aircraft airborne operations.

In this way, a three-dimensional combat mode combining ground and air has been adopted. Before preparing to go to Kushan, the Han army had already sent a number of reconnaissance planes to conduct aerial reconnaissance of some areas of Kushan, so as to ensure that they could conquer Kushan smoothly and quickly, eliminate the rebel army of the minister Agulun, ensure the safety of Emperor Vesudeva, and ensure the safety of the people of Kushan!

When he arrived in Lanch, Liu Xie summoned the command staff and held a pre-war meeting. According to the analysis of the situation reported by the intelligence officials, the Kushan Palace is in Modara, not far from the border, and if you take a plane from Baicheng Jingshi Inpu to the airborne, you will not be able to reach it in half a day.

The current Kushan palace has been surrounded by Agulun's army, and Emperor Vesudeva is trapped in the palace, unable to mobilize his own army, how can he go.

Moreover, there are also a large number of Agulun rebels stationed in the capital city of Madara, and there are also a large number of troops outside the city, adding up to more than 100,000 people.

If you take an armored car from Lanchi to Modara, due to the complexity of the terrain, even if there is a topographic map provided by the messenger Atta, it will not be there until at least tomorrow, even then.

This is roughly the case, Liu Xie asked: "How is the preparation of the airborne commando team at the Impu airport?" ”

The official reported: "Your Majesty, the airborne troops are always ready to do this." ”

Liu Xie asked again: "Then how long does it take to fly from Impu to Modara?" ”

The official said, "It will take about an hour and a half to get there." ”

Liu Xie said: "Through my will, the transport fleet will go to Modala at eight o'clock in the evening, airdrop the airborne troops to the Modala Palace, protect the Kushan Emperor and his royal family, bring a radio station, keep in touch with the rear at any time, and grant the airborne division special permissions, after the airborne troops occupy the palace, they can use it to protect the Kushan Emperor at all costs!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The decree was transmitted by telegram to the Han Army's Airborne Division stationed in Inpu, and at eight o'clock in the evening, ten transport planes would be dispatched to transport a total of 1,000 airborne troops to the Kushan capital of Modara.

At half past nine in the evening, he arrived at the sky over Modhara, carried out the airborne landing, and quickly occupied the palace at all costs, protected the palace, and ensured the absolute safety of Emperor Vesudeva and the members of the royal family!

Then Liu Xie issued another order: "Armored infantry divisions, all go to battle!" ”

Immediately, the rumbling sound of motors was heard all around, and one hundred tanks and two hundred tanks of the mixed tank and tank division started their engines and drove away from Lanchi and headed for the border.

Liu Xie's command vehicle was also mixed in the steel torrent of the armored division.

The Han army's armored infantry mixed division was organized as follows: 100 tanks, 200 infantry armored vehicles, and about 5,000 soldiers.

Each tank consists of four people: the commander, the driver, the gunner, and the second gunner (loader). One hundred and two tanks with a total of 400 people.

Two hundred and two infantry armored vehicles, two people each, a driver and a gunner, a total of 400 people.

So the armored corps totaled 800 people.

The troop carriers carried 9 people each, 200 for a total of 1,800 people.

The remaining 2,500 men were basically marching on armored vehicles and tank shells, and only when they were almost on the battlefield would the infantry inside and outside the vehicles come down and walk.

So in this way, the previous cavalry is really useless.

In Liu Xie's command car, in addition to himself, there were several other commanders, and the imperial concubine Aisia and several other princes and princesses were in other chariots.

The chariot was driving bumping on the land of the South Asian subcontinent, Liu Xiehe and the commanders were studying the march, and since they would not arrive until tomorrow, they had plenty of time, so they chatted with Aithia through the car radio and asked: "How are you, can you adapt to such a bumpy ride?" ”

Althea replied, "It's okay, Your Majesty, although the concubine is delicate, she is not so squeamish, right?" ”

"Well, what about the children? All answered. ”

Several children reported the situation one by one in the channel, basically no problem, Liu Xue said: "Father, I think it's fun, I'm outside the car now, I can see a better scenery here!" ”

When she said this, several children clamored to get the car on it.

Liu Xie said: "No, it's dangerous. ”

Aithea smiled and said: "I think it's no problem, the range of the rifle is basically more than five hundred meters, and the range of the bow and arrow will not exceed one hundred meters, and now except for my big man, other forces do not use guns, so don't worry about being attacked." ”

Liu Xie said: "Okay, get out of the machine gun cover, be careful!" ”

Several children were very excited to agree to pay attention to safety, and began to call out to the soldiers outside in their respective chariots, and climbed out through the middle canopy, and made it to the roof of the car.

Liu Xie was also playful for a while, and he didn't care about the adjutant's objections, opened the car cover, and climbed out. After coming to the roof of the car, I saw 300 vehicles in front and behind, left and right, mighty and magnificent, and my heart was also extremely excited.

He also saw several armored cars with children on the roofs, and the conspicuous one in the group was Liu Xue, who actually stood on the roof of the car, stretched out his hands and shouted loudly: "Yo roar, Central Asia, Snow White is here!" ”

Liu Xie shouted: "Liu Xue, you give me down!" ”
