New Ming Empire mixed in America

"Captain, something is wrong!"

A tax policeman looked at the rising dust in the distance, and then said hesitantly:

"I have seen this kind of smoke and dust before. It seems to be produced when the army is marching."

When the captain heard what his subordinates said, he sneered and said:

"You mean there is an army in front of us? Do you still want to say that it was those Orientals from Los Angeles who came over?"

Before he could finish speaking, he started laughing.

Although the captain's words were unpleasant, they still dispelled the tax policeman's worries.

Yeah, how could there be any other army in San Francisco besides those bastards of the 9th Infantry Regiment?

But when the National Defense Force's investigation company appeared in front of them, these tax policemen still cursed: "Mom, what's going on with these Oriental troops?"

When the tax policemen hurriedly took out the pistols from their waists and prepared to fight, they were embarrassed to find that the other party was using a rifle.

So these tax policemen pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and made a tactical retreat.

But these National Defense Forces members in the reconnaissance company are all veterans who have been on the battlefield once. How can we let these people run away?

In less than five minutes, these tax policemen were killed one by one by Xinming 60-type rifles on their way to escape.

After receiving the news from before, Sun Laifu ordered to speed up.

Because he wanted a quick victory, he temporarily transferred all the horses of the first regiment to the second regiment, so that almost everyone in the second regiment had a horse.

And because Wang Chuan's heavy artillery regiment joined in, the logistics carriages became more abundant.

You must know that the number of people in the heavy artillery regiment is almost as large as that of the first brigade of the National Defense Forces.

Although most of them are soldiers responsible for logistics, they are obviously treated like their own sons.

The National Defense Forces are a bit behind in terms of war horses, especially artillery.

Looking enviously at the row of heavy mortars from the heavy artillery regiment, Sun Laifu said:

"In the future, when there are more national defense troops, I will definitely ask Long Live Lord to transfer your heavy artillery regiment to my command."

After hearing this, Wang Chuan laughed as if he was pretending to be stupid.

In fact, he knew in his heart that it was really possible for his heavy artillery regiment to be under the command of the National Defense Forces in the future.

The current heavy artillery regiment is obviously severely overstaffed. One artillery is a squad, requiring six people to handle it, and six people to provide logistics.

The heavy artillery regiment is now equipped with a full 230 Type 130 mortars, which is obviously preparation for future expansion or merger with the National Defense Forces.

Moreover, the National Defense Force is now clearly over-staffed. If calculated according to the three-three system given by Long Live Lord, a regiment of two thousand people is obviously too much.

That's why he won't answer the call.

If you agree with Sun Laifu now, don't even think about it. In the next battle, I, an old commander, will definitely command his heavy artillery regiment.

If you don't agree with Sun Laifu, if your heavy artillery regiment is really transferred to the National Defense Forces in the future, won't you be in trouble?

However, his confusion soon passed, because the forward reconnaissance company sent news that there was a road ahead.

This news also made Sun Laifu relieved. As long as there is a road, the marching speed can be accelerated. Even if the road ahead is bumpy, it will be much better than now.

Half an hour later, the National Defense Forces began to form a team beside the railway tracks.

During the construction of railways during this period, a large open space was always left on both sides. This open space was deliberately left open to facilitate the passage of horse-drawn carriages.

The advantage of this is that the city hall does not have to pay twice for road construction, and the railway can be repaired with a little effort.

With a population of nearly 100,000, San Francisco is definitely one of the largest cities in North America.

Although most people are concentrated in the east of San Francisco, there are also many small towns on the west coast.

Of course, if this kind of small town were placed in China, it might be more appropriate to replace it with a village.

When soldiers of the National Defense Force pass through these towns in battle formation, they always cause a lot of excitement in the towns.

Looking at the abandoned land, Sun Laifu spit on the ground and said:

"I think back in the Puppet Qing Dynasty, a family with twenty acres of land was considered a well-off family. Look at these white barbarians. They have so much land that no one is planting it!"

Sighing, Sun Laifu looked at the small towns where every household closed their doors, and sneered in his heart.

One day this place will be filled with the people of my Xinming Empire, and it would be better for these white barbarians who want nothing to do with nature to go back to their east.

If not, hum…

"Brigadier, why don't we push all the way across? What are these white barbarians doing with them?"

Wang Chuan was a person who couldn't hide things, and he would ask directly what was on his mind. This was one of the reasons why Sun Laifu admired him.

"Long live the Lord said that there are too few people in our Xinming Empire. Now is not the time to completely wipe out these white barbarians."

"It is said that we must first set aside a Chinese concession area in San Francisco, slowly develop... yes, develop it, and then wait until there are more subjects of the empire before we can completely occupy this place."

Sun Laifu's voice was also a bit unwilling, but he understood it after Li Mingqi broke the matter into pieces.

Currently, there is only one external port on the west coast, San Francisco, if this place was directly occupied by the Xinming Empire.

Next, the Xinming Empire does not need to do anything. Just maintaining this territory requires a lot of energy.

Moreover, the total number of people in the Xinming Empire is only over 20,000, so they can only cross the river with Europeans and occupy a concession area first.

Walking along the road, the National Defense Forces were marching very fast.

The consequence of the entire regiment becoming cavalry was that when Sun Laifu and the others arrived at the Cape Fort Fortress, the heavy artillery regiment was still a few miles behind.

At this time, the Cape Fort Fortress had already been under martial law. The defenders were hiding in the fortress and looking at the well-equipped National Defense Force soldiers on the opposite side. You can imagine the shock in their hearts.

These soldiers of the Northern Government Army will have to wait until next year to wear the tacky uniforms of the Northern Army.

Now looking at the soldiers of the National Defense Force who have uniform military appearance, they have already lost a battle in their hearts before the fight even begins.

After a little preparation, Sun Laifu ordered the National Defense Forces to start digging trenches and wait for the heavy artillery regiment behind them.

While Sun Laifu was digging trenches, a group of dark soldiers drove over from the direction of downtown San Francisco. These were black soldiers from the Ninth Infantry Regiment, which was listed as the least popular by the city hall.

After receiving the call for help, although the city hall did not believe what the fortress defenders said, they still sent over these black soldiers who had participated in the robbery of the port area.

These soldiers, not to mention artillery, were all equipped with rifles, and it was only through little Joseph's effort that they were equipped.

At this time, Sun Laifu encountered such a strange army.

"Ready to fight!"

The battle order was issued, and all the National Defense Force soldiers entered the position and were on standby.

The muzzle of the hand-operated rotary machine gun was already aimed at the black soldiers who were slowly approaching in an orderly queue.

The light mortar has also been set up, and once the enemy enters the range, it will fire a round of three-round rapid fire.

The distance between the two sides gradually approached. When the two sides approached 300 meters, Sun Laifu picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Fire!"
