The Flying Tiger Battalion's entry into the remaining veins of Yanshan was essentially a large-scale military training activity.

At this point in time, the main force of the Eight Banners has not completely withdrawn from the corridor area, so everyone can only go around the mountains and engage in actual combat exercises, and cannot rush out for large-scale operations.

As a result, after entering the mountain, the troops immediately dispersed into five parts, launched a large power search curtain, and the personnel disappeared into the vast mountains.

Theoretically, this dispersion would easily lose contact, so the main force of the ancient cavalry would not do this except for the probe horses that were released.

However, under the contact of later generations of communication equipment, the seemingly scattered formation of the Flying Tiger Battalion is actually still a tight network, ready to react to the situation discovered.

The command headquarters of Qian Tieshan, the commander of the special combat team, is located in the center of the entire curtain like a spider mother, sending and receiving information from all sides at any time, and commanding in the center.

The remnants of Yanshan that the troops entered were 200 miles long from east to west from Jizhen in the mountain pass to Qian'an in the east of the mountain pass.

The thickest section of the mountain in the middle is from the south of Zunhua to the section of Qian'an, the gap between the north and the south is 100 miles, and more than 500 cavalry and horses who entered the mountain have disappeared in this 100-mile-thick mountain.

This distance is only a 2-hour drive in the future, and the Changshen Expressway just passes through the mountains, which is easy and pleasant.

In the 17th century, however, the road was not easy.

In the northern mountains in winter, there is residual snow everywhere, and there are chaotic woods and shrubs everywhere on and off the mountains, and occasionally there are frozen rivers, mountain streams, and villages blocking the way.

In this way, the mountain range with a thickness of only 100 miles from north to south, Mei Fuxi's team maintained a slow search formation, and it took four days to see the end.

At noon, facing the heatless sun, standing among the trees on the top of a mountain, all the members of the team sat on their horses and quietly looked at the north.

From their point of view, they could already see the plains in the distance through the gradually thinning mountain gaps in front of them. The Zunhua Plain, which is only 10 kilometers wide, is located in the left front of the detachment, and it can be entered by crossing a few more hills.

However, this is the end of the team, and the number of people will be more dispersed in the next infiltration plan.

At present, there is a great possibility of encountering the Eight Banners Tanma in this position, so the previous search formation is not needed, and the battle formation of three people in a group of four people is the best choice.

After talking to the headquarters and reporting on the phone, Chen Huoding told Mei Fuxi: "The battalion headquarters" ordered to rest on the spot.

After receiving the order, Mei Fuxi immediately assigned the task: two team members with binoculars went to serve as lookouts on both sides of the mountain, and the rest of the people got off their horses and began to rest in this cypress forest.

The team members skillfully began to set up camp. Bags of wheat, black beans and buckwheat were taken out and hung on horses. Others lit kerosene stoves and shoveled clean snow from the side and put them in the pots.

Along the way, the alcohol fuel used for testing has long been depleted, so now only kerosene can be used for cooking.

Compared to smokeless and odorless alcohol fuel, kerosene will have a little smoke and will also smell of kerosene. But in the mountains and forests of the 17th century, the smell of smoke was not enough to be observed by the distant eye, so it was still very safe.

The snow water from the two kerosene stoves quickly gurgled up, and then some bacon and dried vegetables were thrown into the pot. At the same time, a thin, mesh tin steamer was used as a lid, and some meat pies were stacked on top.

The winter march in the north has this advantage: all the food is frozen hard by the cold weather before it is put into the pot, and there is no danger of spoilage.

You must know that it has been the seventh day since the whole army of the Flying Tiger Battalion set off from Tianjinwei, and if it is in the south, it will take seven days to make most of the food hairy.

The team that was about to eat didn't know that while they were cooking salted meat, the canned boat carrying the field artifact was already floating off the coast of Tianjin. When the next time the Flying Tiger Battalion officially goes into battle, Mei Fuxi and the others will be able to eat southern fruits.

From this point of view, the armed forces deserve to be the number one spender of the people.

In later generations, the annual military expenditure of rabbits is about 700 billion, and the well-known two horses, how much is the net worth of all of them?

This ratio is normal. If you have a belongings, you must have the corresponding force to protect them. Like Daming, who usually raises the army as a flower child, and when he goes to the battlefield, he expects the soldiers to turn into warriors overnight, and he can't say that he won't die in the country.

The traversers from later generations are naturally on par with the ideas of later generations in terms of military treatment.

A canned lychee, whether sold locally in Tianjin or shipped to Beijing, could be sold for 10 taels of silver per jar in the 17th century with your eyes closed.

What do you mean by that? As soon as the concubine laughed on the red dust, no one knew that it was a lychee.

The attitude of the ancients in the north towards the lychees in the south, as Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Guifei can testify, is completely a commodity that can make the local tyrants brainless to pay for silver.

Therefore, the traversers also gritted their teeth in this regard: even if it was just a few cans distributed to the soldiers before going into battle, it would represent a large amount of military spending.

.................................

When the broth in the pot began to tumble, the pie on the steaming tray was also softened by the steam. At this time, the team members took out their military iron lunch boxes, filled them in turn, and began to eat and drink comfortably in the woods where the temperature was below zero.

At the same time, the two kerosene stoves could not rest yet: the freshly melted snow water would be taken to drink the horses.

After an hour, all the horses had eaten enough food and drunk enough water.

Fighting in the North, to put it mildly, horses are more important than people. The Travelers had been active in the south until then, playing mainly with boats, so they did not estimate the importance of horses, especially regarding the need for elite cavalry and scouts.

This time, through the report sent back by the northern delegation, the cabinet and the general staff realized the importance of the war horse at certain times. The Army's half-dead horse farm has finally ushered in the light of day, and the embryo transfer of Arabian horses has been put on the agenda, and it seems that a batch of imports will be added.

After eating this high-quality field lunch, the team began to rest. Several people took out cigarettes from their arms at this time, and Mei Fuxi was no exception, what he took out in his pocket was a hard box Yellow Crane Tower, the most expensive brand.

After a few rounds of giggling with the team members who came to rub cigarettes, the rich second generation finally invited guests.

The only one who didn't smoke was Chen Huoding and Chen Erye.

After joining the special combat team, the second master stopped smoking while on duty. Smoking can make your body smell, and it is easy to expose yourself in some tasks that require latent infiltration.

However, this does not mean that the second master has no pastime...... Picking up the MK17 rifle in his hand, the second master began to skillfully wipe the gun.

I think that back then, when he followed his eldest brother Zhou Tong to Hangzhou to meet the anti-thief Cao Daoren, the thief Chen Erye still shouted that he wanted a pistol before he was willing to rebel.

Now the second master is sitting in the northern mountains thousands of miles away, rubbing an automatic rifle in his hand and an M9 pistol in his waist, completely armed to the teeth, thinking about it, the world is really impermanent!

Just when the second master was happily wiping the gun, Mei Fuxi, who was smiling on the side, came over and began to wipe the gun with the second master.

In Mei Fuxi's hand is a pole 28 big cover.

After more than a month of training and running-in, the Flying Tiger Battalion has stabilized the structure of the entire unit by eliminating the chaff and reserving the good and reserving the fittest. At this time, the captain of the sentry in charge of the sentry like Mei Fuxi was allowed to receive shooting training, and then muskets were issued.

Smiling and rubbing the only musket in the team, Mei Fuxi once again began to get close to the second master, trying to borrow the "Lianzhu Gong" in the second master's hand to play. If it really doesn't work, the sharp short gun on the second master's waist is also a good thing!

However, someone was destined to fail again, and the second master didn't pay attention to this slippery boy at all. In the second master's opinion, anyone who has not fought in the battle array is all a slippery person......

Just then, the radio gave another signal.

After Chen Huoding heard the prompt tone, his face turned grim, he put away his gun and got up, walked behind a big tree according to the regulations, turned on the radio, and then a series of words mixed with a lot of code words came from the earphones.

After listening to the news handed over by the battalion headquarters, Chen Huoding also replied with some code words, and after exchanging a few words between the two sides, Chen Huoding turned off the radio.

The news from the radio was simple: three Tartar sentinels were coming in this direction.

The order issued by the radio station was also very simple: he did not want to see ten people rush up to solve the Tartars, and asked Chen Huoding to seize this rare opportunity to test the results of the team's training.

Chen Huoding said he understood.

In fact, in front of the natives like Mei Fuxi, who are known as reconnaissance teams, special combat personnel have long been pulling nets on the edge of the mountain range to monitor.

The two-person special combat team members were divided into ten groups, and not only monitored several major mountain passes brought into the mountain from the corridor, but even last night, some members of the team had already gone out to the area around Zunhua City to conduct reconnaissance.

Therefore, for the Eight Banners sentry who entered from these mountain passes, their every move was under surveillance.

"Assemble." Chen Huoding, who turned out from behind the tree, quickly gathered ten team members, and then conveyed the instructions of his boss to Mei Fuxi in public: organize a team of top soldiers to scout in advance, and the rest of them are on standby.

After listening to this, Mei Fuxi did not doubt him, and according to the previous training pattern, he ordered two team members on the spot and formed a pre-front group with himself.

After the three-person team packed up their weapons and put on a zigzag shape, they descended to the bottom of the valley along the gentle slope on the left side of the mountaintop, and reconnoitred along the way in the direction pointed out by Chen Huoding before.

At this time, Chen Huoding also rode a horse and followed behind the group at a slightly distance, and the four of them formed an irregular diamond shape.

Half an hour later, the group had just turned into a valley and encountered the Tartars.

The two sides found their opponents at the same time in this stubby valley, separated by a distance of three hundred meters.

Three-on-three.

Chen Huoding hadn't turned around at this time.
