After crossing the border from Jinzhou, it was simple, all the way to the sea, then by boat to Phi Dao, and then more than 300 people all the way to Kuandian. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There were originally more than 2,000 recruits recruited by Yusheng on the island, that is, the shelves of the 12th Infantry Regiment had been erected, and Wen Zhongfa took most of them with him as soon as he arrived, leaving only one port base on Phi Island, a few companies of troops to protect the port and warehouse, and most of his subordinates went to Kuandian with him.

In Kuandian and Tieshan, there were still a large number of Liao people without food and clothing, and with the permission of the military department, Wen Zhongfa recruited a large number of displaced people and formed two regiments of soldiers to assist the soldiers to open up the advance base.

In Kuandian, there are high mountains and dense forests everywhere, and the mountain roads are extremely rugged in the steep places, when Liu Ling marched into the army, the Ming army was difficult to move forward in the streams and mountains, and there were many places that needed to cut down shrubs and woods to continue to move forward, which also led to the Ming army's action on this road was extremely difficult, and finally lost the deadline.

After the Houjin crossed several roads of the Ming army, Liu Ling was late on this way, and was ambushed by the Houjin soldiers, most of the Ming troops were killed, and the Korean soldiers chose to surrender.

The base of the Shangtuan Army is built in the dense forest on the southeast side of Kuandian Fort, with the Ya'er River in front, Niumaozhai dozens of miles away, and then less than 100 miles to Abu Dali Gang, that is, the place where Liu Ling's department was annihilated, and there is an elite mountain infantry battalion in the headquarters of the 12th Regiment, Zhang Han agreed to transfer Wen Zhongfa and others here, the main reason is to make the mountain heavy infantry useful.

After this garrison, the first thing to do was to secure the grain routes, that is, the supply routes.

From the perspective of the overall situation, the core control area of Donggang Town is still a series of islands with Phi Dao as the core, and the sub-core area is Cheolsan and Uiju and other places that are very close to the sea and the Yalu River, and even in North Korea. Lushun is also a sub-core area because of the attention of Yuan Keli and Mao Wenlong, but the Dongjiang soldiers are all insufficient, last year Zhang Pan took Jinzhou, but was unable to control it, so he could only give up again, Jinzhou and Fuzhou and other hundreds of miles of places became Dongjiang Town and the Houjin regime's ripped area, just like Ya'er River to Niumaozhai and other places, Dongjiang guerrillas and Houjin Sentinel Cavalry often attack each other in the mountains, but it does not mean that Dongjiang Town has gained control.

The second level is the various guerrilla areas, Dongjiang Town was at its peak in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, as far as Hetuala and close to the sweet water well in Liaozhong are regarded as guerrilla areas in Dongjiang Town, after all, Mao Wenlong did send large and small forces to these places to carry out guerrilla warfare, before the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Dongjiang Town was mainly to incite rumors and poison and other means, the sixth year of the Apocalypse was the most powerful year of Dongjiang Town's activities, and the troops reached Hetuala.

After several months of operation, the 12th Regiment finally established a number of bases in the area of Kuandian Liubao, the largest of which could accommodate about 1,000 people, and the smallest of which had hundreds of people.

The abandoned six forts are actually still there, they are all built with large stones, these six forts are built by Li Chengliang, there are six forts, the threat to the Jurchens is very great, the strongest Jurchen tribe at that time is Dong Ebu, directly pressed by the six forts. However, twenty years later, when Li Chengliang was once again the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, Nurhachi had basically completed the annexation of the Jurchen tribes, but the six forts were isolated outside the border wall, facing great pressure from the Jurchens.

In order to make himself not lose the prestige of a famous general, Li Chengliang took the initiative to demolish the six forts and evacuate tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, which caused an uproar at the time.

A squadron of infantry shuttled out of the woods and walked on the edge of a large rice paddy.

A small river meanders through it, which is supposed to be a tributary of the Ya'er and Suzi rivers, which weaves through the mountains and a limited plain area.

The surrounding forests are full of green and pale yellow trees, and large flocks of birds are constantly flying across the sky, which are flocks of birds that migrate south for the winter.

The beasts moved through the forest, but few of the beasts let out a noticeable roar during the day, and after dark, the roars of the beasts continued to rise and fall.

It's a barely explored place, and everything is almost primitive.

A few decades ago, there were six forts as the core, the surrounding forests were cut down, the peaks were burned and flattened, people established villages, reclaimed wasteland, and survived here by farming and hunting and fishing, and later the homeland was destroyed, and the Ming army in Liaodong forced the Han people to relocate.

The rice fields were cultivated by the pioneers last year, and the climate and land in the northeast are actually very suitable for growing rice, and hundreds of years later, the Songnen Plain has become the largest granary in China, and the main crop is rice.

There are river waters here, which is convenient for water diversion, and the base is established in spring, which is suitable for cultivating rice, and by the end of summer, the rice ears are already very heavy...... The acres of land here in Kuandian have been barren for many years, the land is abundant after burning, the water source is also enough, the golden ears of rice are hung all over the rice stalks, the rice stalks are bent down, a gust of wind blows, the rice fields are surging up and down like sea water.

The infantry wore black and silver-white mixed armor, most of them were iron armor on the outside, chain mail and cotton armor on the inside, plus iron mesh skirts, shin guards, leather boots, iron helmets, long and short weapons, shields, throwing guns, short crossbows, handguns, and then backpacks, water bladders, lunch boxes, shovels and other miscellaneous items, each of which weighed more than 70 catties.

"Sit!"

The squadron leader who led the team shouted, and all the heavy infantry stopped and slowly sat down on the ridge on the edge of the rice field.

"Take a fifteen-minute break."

The squadron leader shouted again, then sat down on his own, took off his helmet, and sweat flowed from his helmet.

Everyone's helmet was almost the same, sweat was flowing from the iron helmet, everyone's hair was soaked, and even salt crystals were formed on the tips of their hair due to excessive sweat and hot weather.

"It's not as refreshing as shaving your head."

"What, you want to be a tartar?"

"You're a fucking talent, I just want to be cool."

"Less nonsense, can't stop your mouth if your mouth is dry and cracked?"

The infantry were talking nonsense, and after removing their helmets, they untied the water bladder and began to drink water, and after drinking enough water, everyone began to half-lie on the ridge to rest, because it was a short break, and they could not remove the heavy armor, but fortunately, they could put down their weapons, and the weight on their half-lying bodies was also reduced a lot.

The weapons of the heavy armored mountain infantry are also very heavy, most of them are long and short weapons are used together, long knives, tiger tooth guns, iron spears, iron spears, horse lances, iron boring have, short weapons are improved Qi knives, also like the sabers used by cavalry, the handle is thick, there are gauntlets, the bottom of the blade is thick and the front is thin, the edge edge is very sharp.

In addition to the short firearm that everyone is equipped with, there are also people who use short crossbows or throwing guns, broadswords, throwing axes and other things, these weapons must be carried, long weapons generally weigh five or six pounds, it does not sound heavy, but carrying dozens of pounds of armor and heavy objects, climbing and walking in the mountains and forests, there are not even paths in some places, purely dense forests and shrubs, when the physical exertion is particularly strong, a heavy weapon has become a big burden.

"Make a briefing...... the squadron leader was the first to stand up and said to more than 50 subordinates under his command: "Today is the departure of Maozheng, now is the end of Shen, climb seven mountains, travel forty-five miles back and forth, rest at the beginning of noon, rest for a quarter of an hour at lunch time, rest for a quarter of an hour, rest for a quarter of an hour at the end of Shen, and return to the camp before two quarters of the unitary hour." No one is left behind, no one is lacking, this squadron has completed the training plan for today's cross-country training, and will continue to train tomorrow. ”

A team officer looked up and smiled: "We walked an extra five miles today, but it was not easy." ”

Another team officer said: "Set off at six o'clock in the morning, return at five o'clock in the afternoon, eleven hours and forty-five miles back and forth, if you can make people laugh to death if you are lightly dressed on flat ground, remember that we practiced when we were in Lizhuang, and we ran ordinary cross-country without armor, we could complete today's subjects in one hour and ten miles, four and a half hours, and if we ran laps in the playground, we had to run five miles in two quarters of an hour." ”

The squadron leader nodded and said: "The whole body is covered with armor and weights, over the mountains and mountains, there are no roads in some places, an average of four miles an hour, who dares to laugh at us, ask him to try!" ”

The squadron leader said to the whole team: "According to the standard, our training is basically qualified, and it is not easy to walk all the way for dozens of miles in this vast mountain, or to wear armor and bear weights." In the future, even if there is a war, there will be soldiers accompanying us, helping to bring sundries and food supplies, our physical training must be carried out, after a while, or to queue and battle training, you all cheer me up, each person's weapons must be skillful, pikemen and swords and cards must be well coordinated, long knives and spears must be well coordinated, infantry formations and cavalry must be well coordinated, we must be trained in the mountains with large and small three talent formations, each person's own skills must also be important, first of all, they must be strong, and the strength to boil up can not be cut off every day, Then practice the skills of fighting, the timing of the gun and the knife, the angle, how to grab the gun before the enemy, and be sure to get the shot, this is not just a mouth, if you don't practice day and night, give a strong man a gun, tell him to prick people and don't know how to pierce, force, retract, and then shoot, every action is knowledge, optics will not be used, you have to be tempered, subconscious reaction...... Don't be impatient to listen, I've said it many times, but if you do, you can save your life on the battlefield...... Don't think about making meritorious contributions, Lao Tzu has fought for five years, and he has been born and died for Lord Zhang for many years, to tell you the truth, people who don't want to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield and just want to save their lives can often make meritorious contributions and save their lives! ”

This is what the real veterans say, and most of the mountain infantry have listened to it...... Most of them have also fought in the Thirteen Mountains, seen blood, and even had lives on their hands, so they know what words are truly golden and jade.
