"Everyone got on the bus."

With Luo Yue's order, the soldiers of the battalion lined up in an orderly manner and boarded the train one by one. Luo Yue watched the entire army board the train on the platform, and from time to time he reached out to support his military cap or pull his uniform, or touched the gun boxes on the left and right. Although it had been more than ten days since he had been changing into this new military uniform, Luo Yue still felt very different.

In fact, this is not just Luo Yue. Basically all time travel warriors have this feeling. After all, they are used to wearing military uniforms full of royal divisions in the old time and space. If they are definitely not suitable to change into military uniforms with retro elements in this era, they are definitely not suitable. Therefore, the time travel warriors also jokingly call it, this time they have changed from a royal division to a terrain eighth route.

In the past, all the local soldiers of the People's Army were captured by the uniforms of the Eight-Nation Alliance, while the time travel soldiers wore their own uniforms. However, as the scale of the People's Army continued to expand, it was obviously inappropriate to use the uniforms of the Eight-Nation Alliance. Moreover, the time travel group has accumulated some family business, so it is still possible to make a new military uniform for the soldiers of the People's Army.

In the old time and space, a soldier's full military uniform mainly included regular clothes, dresses, training uniforms, work clothes, and several types, and equipped with military coats, rain and snow clothes; in addition, there were nearly 10 special clothing such as ground uniforms, camouflage uniforms, chemical defense uniforms, tank uniforms, aviation uniforms, and other special clothing. They also specially set up performance uniforms for art troupes, military bands and honor guards for concierge. However, the current conditions of the time-travel group are of course impossible to fully equip so many kinds of clothing. Only one set of military uniforms can be made for each soldier, and only military caps, military uniforms and military trousers, helmets, belts, leather boots, kettles, backpacks and other items are still captured by the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Military uniforms are made of gray-green fabric, which is also a common color of the People's Liberation Army in the old time and space. The styles are basically combined with ancient and modern styles, but in general, they are mainly imitated. Military caps adopt the Eighth Route Army-style ski hat, with a straight and short-edged dome hat. Usually roll the hat and fix it with two buttons. They can be put down when it is cold to cover the face, and have a certain cold-proof effect. Military uniforms use imitation Zhongshan suit style, with a low collar and a shoulder stamp, with four pockets on the upper, lower and left and right sides. This is used to hold small items without a tactical vest, and are equipped with crossed belts on the left and right to hang items; the pants are straight inward, but not leggings. Ordinary soldiers are equipped with medium-tube leather shoes, and officers above the platoon level are equipped with high-tube leather shoes, and all the pants are tied into the leather shoes. In addition to military uniforms, each soldier is also equipped with a marching kettle, a shoulder bag or a backpack.

The weapons equipped by ordinary soldiers are a rifle, a bayonet, and a helmet, carrying 12o bullets, and the grenades are also equipped with a grenade bag, which is equipped with 4 wooden grenades, and 6o bullets. In addition, the squad leader and deputy squad leader can also be equipped with a machete. The platoon-level officers can be equipped with a pistol. However, the battalion-level officers do not have a rifle, but are equipped with two Mauser 96 pistols, mainly because this type of pistol has a long range and fast shooting, and can be used for actual combat. Therefore, when Luo Yue changed into this new military uniform and held two Mauser 96 pistols, he felt that he had traveled to the era of the War of Resistance. However, the helmet was surrounded by an old helmet, and because it was a German helmet, there was even a short lightning rod on the top, which seemed a bit inappropriate.

However, after the military uniform was made, another issue was involved, which was whether the time travel soldiers would change to new military uniforms. Later, after a special meeting of the Military Commission, the decision was made to all the time travel soldiers of the 6th Army to new military uniforms, and the tactical vests were replaced with the same fabric as the new military uniforms. They only used training uniforms and helmets, but they could still retain their regular clothes, dresses, and equipment, only walkie-talkies, night vision goggles, tactical computers, and other weapons. The navy's time travel soldiers could retain their full set of clothes and equipment. Of course, the navy soldiers actually had no equipment.

The main reason for letting all the time travel soldiers of the 6th Army change their clothes is not to save a few training uniforms, but because considering that the middle and low-level officers of the 6th Army will personally command operations on the front line, if the clothes are obviously different from other soldiers, they will easily become eye-catching targets on the battlefield. Therefore, uniform clothing is actually conducive to improving the survival of the time travel soldiers on the battlefield. However, the navy does not have this problem. Anyway, they are all on warships, so there is no need to change their clothes.

Within two days after Luo Yue led the army to Tianjin, the entire regiment changed into new military uniforms. However, not only the time travel soldiers felt awkward, but many local soldiers were not used to it. Although the time travel soldiers felt that this military uniform was too old-fashioned, it was actually the previous style for this era. For people of this era, they were used to loose clothes, and this military uniform was too tight and too tight, so they felt uncomfortable no matter how they were, so they were complaining.

However, this is just a small episode. In fact, this military uniform is not all. The tight waist-slimming design looks more capable, energetic, and is conducive to actions in complex terrain. Although the Military Commission was not sure whether the Beijing Campaign would be held when changing clothes, the training around the Beijing Campaign had already begun. Therefore, after the news of the breakdown of the Shanghai negotiations reached Tianjin, the Executive Committee and the Military Commission immediately ordered the Beijing Campaign to be launched immediately and the Tongzhou first.

Tongzhou is located about 20 kilometers east of Beijing. It has always been the gateway to Beijing and its geographical location is very important. However, the Eight-Nation Alliance's troops stationed in Tongzhou were not strong, and only one battalion of Japanese troops stationed, with about 50 people. This is of course contrary to the basic common sense of military use, but the Eight-Nation Alliance has its own difficulties in making arrangements. After the defeat of the battle to retake Tianjin, the Eight-Nation Alliance retreated to Beijing, which did leave heavy troops in Tongzhou and planned to build defensive fortifications to prevent time travelers from taking advantage of the situation to attack Beijing.

However, although the Eight-Nation Alliance tried hard to conceal the Tianjin Battle and the failure of the German Expeditionary Fleet, the paper could not contain the fire after all, so it soon spread in Beijing, which greatly hit the pressure of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Although the Eight-Nation Alliance captured Beijing and killed members of the Boxer Regiment in Beijing, the Boxer Regiment was large in number, and the Eight-Nation Alliance was only more than 3 ooooo during its heyday. It was impossible for the middle and lower-level Boxer Regiment to be arrested. Therefore, a considerable number of Boxer Regiment members were hiding among the people or around Beijing. They naturally hated the Eight-Nation Alliance, but at that time the Eight-Nation Alliance was in full swing, so they naturally did not dare to act rashly. Now the myth of the Eight-Nation Alliance's invincible coalition has been broken, so these Boxer Regiment members who missed the net also began to get ready.

Those who had worked in the Boxer Regiment also learned some propaganda techniques, so he first spread rumors inside and outside Beijing. Some said that the Boxer Regiment was back again, and the overseas Chinese who came back this time were actually the masters of the Boxer Regiment. They were not a problem with calling the wind and rain, sprinkling beans into soldiers, and five thunder bombardment was no problem. Seeing that the disciples and disciples suffered losses, they were going to find a place; some said that after the emperor and the empress dowager fled to Taiyuan, they recruited hundreds of thousands of troops from Mongolia to kill them and recapture Beijing; of course, some said that overseas Chinese had gathered millions of troops from the south and prepared to go north to serve the king, etc. Therefore, rumors in Beijing were flying all over the world, and people's hearts were floating.

On the one hand, the remaining members of the Boxer Regiment also organized personnel to collect weapons and attack the Eight-Nation Alliance. In addition, the Eight-Nation Alliance did do a lot of evil deeds in Beijing in the early stage. The Chinese people deeply hated the Allied Army. Now that they knew that the Eight-Nation Alliance was defeated, they all became more courageous. Many people secretly joined the Boxer Regiment and found opportunities to hunt down the Eight-Nation Alliance soldiers. As a result, in less than a month, they were striking to kill more than 30 soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance and injured more than 50 people.

The continuous attacks of the Eight-Nation Alliance were also attracted by the attention of the senior executives of the Eight-Nation Alliance. However, the Eight-Nation Alliance had few troops, and there were heavy casualties in the Tianjin Battle, with only more than 13 ooo people left. The scope of the Beijing area was too wide, so there was no such a small number of people at all. Moreover, since the time travelers have cut off the Tianjin sea route, the Eight-Nation Alliance could not get any supplementary resources, and food supplies might be requisitioned on the spot, but weapons and ammunition were not available.

Fortunately, after winning the Tianjin Defense Battle, the time travelers did not attack Beijing, and turned south, conquered Weihaiwei and Qingdao, and began to contact the negotiations with Tianjin. Therefore, the pressure on Beijing was greatly reduced. Therefore, the senior leaders of the Eight-Nation Alliance negotiated and decided to draw troops from the garrison in Tongzhou to strengthen Beijing's troops. While strengthening the management of Beijing's city, they also planned to attack in Taiyuan to deter the Qing court and surrounding areas of Beijing.

This move indeed achieved certain results. First, the Qing court fled from Taiyuan to Xi'an, which greatly reduced the threat to the coalition forces. It also swept away the remnants of the Boxer Rebellion in the surrounding areas of Beijing, and successively broke through several newly built Boxer Rebellion entries, which stabilized the situation around Beijing. However, the side effects were not small, mainly because the coalition forces had little ammunition left, and the average number of ammunition per person was less than 30 bullets per person, and the artillery was less than 20 guns, and the shells per gun were only more than 10. It can be said that the actual combat effectiveness of the Eight-Nation Alliance has dropped very significantly. On the other hand, the Eight-Nation Alliance stationed in Tongzhou was drawn in large quantities, leaving only one battalion of Japanese troops, and all the planned fortifications were suspended and not built. Therefore, the garrison in Tongzhou is now very weak.
