Li Zhuangyong was different. Although he also started his family in Shandong, he went to Beijing later, which happened to be the top period of the Boxer Rebellion. That period was also the most glorious day in Li Zhuangyong's life. Not only could he walk across the streets and alleys of Beijing, but he could also enter all the shops and stores at will, and he could take whatever he wanted. He also went to the famous Eight Great Hutongs. "What a prince, when Beile saw him, he was respectful, and he lived in Prince Rui Zaiyi's mansion for a few days, and even called his brothers and brothers to Zaiyi.

During that period, Li Zhuangyong once really thought that he had magical skills to protect his body, which could beat foreigners to the point of falling and enjoy such a glorious and beautiful day forever. Although the good times did not last long, the guns and cannons of the Eight-Nation Alliance completely broke Li Zhuangyong's beautiful dream, this period of time became the most beautiful memory in Li Zhuangyong's life, so Li Zhuangyong had always been obsessed with the Boxer Rebellion.

In addition to wanting to kill foreigners and avenge the brothers of the Boxer Rebellion in the past, Li Zhuangyong joined the People's Army, in his heart, it was not a resentment towards foreigners who broke their beautiful dreams.

Although the People's Army was formed in the model of modern military, abandoning the bad habits and style of many feudal armies, and the treatment and social status of soldiers were greatly improved, this was naturally a difference between heaven and earth compared to the wonderful days of Li Zhuangyong in Beijing. Moreover, the People's Army's strict military discipline and difficult training made Li Zhuangyong very dissatisfied. However, in order to kill more foreigners, Li Zhuangyong still endured it.

Another thing that made Li Zhuangyong not have a sense of identity with the People's Army is that Li Zhuangyong brought a few brothers from the original Boxer Regiment to join the People's Army. When they joined the People's Army, Li Zhuangyong proposed that it would be best if they were to form a separate group, and at least all their brothers should be divided into one army. But it was impossible to be told immediately. Once they entered the People's Army, they had to obey the arrangements and dispatches. There was no room for negotiation.

Although Li Zhuangyong had brothers under him at that time, he advocated, "If we were to separate us, we would not work in the People's Army and go to another place to make trouble." Li Zhuangyong thought about it over and over again and agreed to this condition. After all, Li Zhuangyong had seen some worlds and knew that it was not easy to make trouble in the world now, and Li Zhuangyong was still a little careful in his heart. Even if these brothers were not separated, they would just have to interact more often.

As a result, as soon as they entered the People's Army, their 20 or so brothers were dismantled, and only five were assigned to the first battalion, and they were stationed on the west bank of Jiaozhou Bay. They could not see other brothers. After more than a month, Li Zhuangyong was transferred to Tianjin with the first battalion. This time, two more brothers were transferred, and only three were left in the first battalion. Now even Li Zhuangyong didn't know that the other brothers were assigned there.

Of course, it is impossible for such a small group to exist in the People's Army. It must be disbanded, divided into various troops and then assimilated by the People's Army. This is one of the principles of the People's Army, and it is not directed at Li Zhuangyong and his group. There were four people when Jiang Haidong and his team joined the People's Army, but only two people were assigned to the first battalion. Of course, Jiang Haidong's motivation for joining the People's Army was much simpler than Li Zhuangyong, so he didn't care much.

However, there is one thing that Li Zhuangyong understands. Jiang Haidong is not wrong. The combat effectiveness of the People's Army is indeed a hundred times stronger than that of the Boxer Regiment. Although Li Zhuangyong has never fought with the Eight-Nation Alliance in the People's Army, he has fought bandits. The combat effectiveness of the People's Army was fully reflected in the fight against bandits. Although the number of bandits in each battle was greater than that of the People's Army, whether it was firepower, training quality, or melee combat between the two sides, bandits and the People's Army were not the leader of the People's Army, often a platoon of the People's Army could defeat one or two hundred bandits. The Boxer Regiment in the past was definitely not able to do this. Sometimes Li Zhuangyong thought that if the Boxer Regiment had such combat power, he would have probably defeated the Eight-Nation Alliance long ago.

This is also the main reason why Li Zhuangyong was able to endure all kinds of dissatisfaction and remained in the People's Army. It was because he wanted to learn how the People's Army trained troops and fought. It was meaningless to always rely on others. If he wanted to do it, he would just work alone. No one could control it. This experience in Beijing not only broadened Li Zhuangyong's horizon, but also encouraged Li Zhuangyong's ambitions. Although Li Zhuangyong did not have the idea of ​​monopolizing the land and becoming a king, he had the consciousness of having to be independent and no longer being governed by others in a daze.

At this time, Jiang Haidong said: "So stop thinking about it, hurry up and prepare to go there. We will have to do outdoor training in the afternoon. This is our first outdoor training since we became the squad leader, so don't let us go."

Li Zhuangyong nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm the most important thing."

The training of the newly established two regiments was mainly carried out by Zhu Yaping, the commander of the 6th Army, and was commanded by the two regiments' teams. Xiao Jianjun did not ask much about it because Xiao Jianjun still had a lot of things in his hands, and the most important thing was to formulate a club plan to attack Beijing and a logistics supply plan. Therefore, after the flag was awarded, Xiao Jianjun immediately rushed back to Tianjin.

In fact, Xiao Jianjun had already formulated a general plan for the attack on Beijing, because the first phase of the Crossing Army's combat goal was to capture Tongzhou, put pressure on Beijing, and it was also a logistics line to protect the People's Army.

During this period, the People's Army also sent people and dispatched drones to conduct reconnaissance in the Tongzhou area. As a result, the Eight-Nation Alliance's garrison was not tightly harsh on Tongzhou. It only symbolically garrisoned more than 50,000 Japanese troops and did not build any fortifications. In fact, if you think about it carefully, this situation is not surprising. The Eight-Nation Alliance in Beijing has only 13,000 or 4,000 people. Just a little force is not enough to defend Beijing, and there are still enough troops there to garrison Tongzhou.

In addition, there was a railway from Tianjin to Beijing. During the Boxer Rebellion, in order to prevent the Eight-Nation Alliance from advancing, the railway was damaged. Later, after the Eight-Nation Alliance captured Beijing, the railway was restored to ensure the supply of logistics supplies.

After the crossover captured Tianjin, the Eight-Nation Alliance counterattacked Tianjin and also used this railway to transport troops and supplies. However, after the Tianjin Defense Battle, the Eight-Nation Alliance retreated to Beijing but did not destroy the railway. After the crossover captured Tianjin and captured the Kaiping Coal Mine, he also obtained several locomotives and more than 3O train cars, so he could use this railway to march.

Therefore, according to Xiao Jianjun's plan, the first regiment was responsible for the main attack on the battle against Tongzhou. The first battalion and the field artillery battalion, the howitzer battalion marched by train, and the second battalion and the third battalion marched along both sides of the railway to cover each other. It could send two helicopters to reconnaissance and protection from the air, and rush straight to Tongzhou with lightning speed. Before the Eight-Nation Alliance could react, it took Tongzhou in one fell swoop, forming close pressure on Beijing.

In the future, Xiao Jianjun also had a general idea, which was to take a helicopter to the city of Beijing by special forces, attack inside and outside, break through the defense of the Eight-Nation Alliance and capture Beijing.

It can be said that as far as purely military is concerned, the difficulty of this battle is actually not very high, and the real test for the time traveler is in the logistics supply.

To a certain extent, fighting is about fighting logistics. Since it is a modern war, it still relies on logistics supply. Of course, what the traveling group lacks now is not materials. Since the traveling group occupied Tianjin, it has been storing food, medicine, cloth, salt and other materials. After defeating the German Far East Fleet and occupying Qingdao, it has obtained a large amount of German equipment and ammunition, and the supply of weapons is also sufficient. Guanjian is about the transportation and allocation of materials, because the two sides in the war are not only competing for logistics supply capabilities, but also competing for logistics efficiency and accuracy. In the history of old time and space, there have been many logistical misfortunes of sending cotton jackets in summer and single clothes in winter.

The distance from Tianjin to Beijing is less than 20 kilometers, and it is not a long distance in that era. Although the battles of crossers in attacking Weihai and Qingdao were far greater than those from Tianjin to Beijing, these combat crossers have all relied on sea routes and firmly controlled the sea control rights, because in this era, the sea route was far better than the six routes. Not only was the transportation volume large, but it was also simple. Soldiers could also rest and eat on the ship, and did not have to carry a large number of tents, drinkware and other supplies. Therefore, the logistics difficulties were not great.

In this Beijing battle, the crossovers left the area under their control without the support of the navy. Although there are railways and sea rivers to rely on and provide considerable convenience for the People's Army's logistics support, they still cannot be compared with sea routes. They need to have a large number of manpower and vehicles to supplement, which has led to the diversity and complexity of supply and the need to formulate a detailed logistics supply arrangement plan.

The former Taihu ship captain Xie Teng, who is now the captain of the Taihu ship, is also the current logistics minister of the Military Commission. Because the Taihu ship is originally a logistics support ship, Xie Teng still has some experience and theoretical knowledge in this regard. Moreover, the Taihu ship has basically stopped using it. The main officers on the Taihu ship are all in the logistics department. During this period, Xie Teng and the former Taihu ship were discussing the planning and arrangements for logistics supply. Xiao Jianjun's current focus is also on logistics supply. On the other hand, various logistics supplies are also centralized to store various logistics supplies in Tianjin, and collecting wooden ships, vehicles, etc.
