"The report has brought the sea area outside the Daling River, which is only 10 kilometers away from the mouth of the Daling River."

"Well, I know, order the icebreaker to open the way for the pilot, and the other ships of the fleet line up in battle formation and anchor at a distance of 2 kilometers from the open sea."

While the flag was waving, the order was transmitted by the flag to all the ships of the entire fleet, and everyone followed the order, and within half an hour, they each found a deep-water anchor point.

Next, under the cover of the No. 01 all-steel test ship, a company-level combat unit of the Marine Corps forced the landing in a small boat and launched a defensive formation.

"One platoon, occupy the hilly heights 500 meters ahead, establish observation positions and firing positions."

"Second platoon, search the flank groves to make sure no enemy eyes are left inside."

"Three platoons, 200 meters ahead, set up a defensive position, and cover the follow-up engineering troops to enter the field."

Everyone acted quickly, and the whole scene was silent and orderly, full of a sense of beauty like flowing water.

The company commander of this company, looking at the actions of his subordinates, smiled with satisfaction, as a team with the largest number of foreign soldiers in the kingdom's army, the combat effectiveness of the marines is not outstanding in the kingdom, and even the equipment is the worst among all arms.

However, with the rapid development of the kingdom's economy and various brainwashing education, these poor lucky people in the Marine Corps, who were originally unable to eat enough food and wear warm clothes in their own country, have a feeling of admiration for the kingdom.

One by one, they are eager to make enough meritorious contributions so that they and their families can smoothly join the big Chinese family and enjoy a beautiful and comfortable life after the completion of their service.

With the support of strong beliefs, this spirit is completely different from the old army of the previous feudal era, and after the subjective initiative has been fully freely exerted, today's marines, although the equipment is still the worst in the kingdom, but the combat effectiveness is really no worse than those ordinary infantry battalions.

Especially those battalions with a large number of wandering samurai from the Wa Kingdom, the fiery combat enthusiasm during the battle can simply blind the eyes of many officers of other services.

These wandering samurai-born marines, as long as they are ordered by the officers, even if they attack the people of their own country, they are not merciful, and they are simply the spokesmen of the best cannon fodder.

It is because of these guys as role models that foreign soldiers from other parts of the kingdom change their perception of their identity very quickly.

This made the Marine Corps have a special preference for soldiers from this area when recruiting soldiers.

It's just a pity, every time I make a report, hoping to get a little more samurai-born soldiers, the approval I get is the same sentence - the composition of the kingdom's soldiers has a strict plan, and it is not allowed to let foreign clans account for too much proportion, which causes instability in the army.

The company commander smacked his lips regretfully, and looked at the scattered team members again, his chest full of pride.

He couldn't help but be proud of being able to train a group of foreigners who couldn't read big characters to be able to communicate smoothly in Chinese, understand the commands written in Chinese characters, and form a tacit understanding of battle with other warriors of all ethnic groups.

Suddenly, a guard sentry shouted, "Company commander, there's Houjin scout." ”

The company commander quickly looked up in the direction pointed by the sentry, and saw several Tartars rushing out on the other side of the woods where the second platoon had entered.

According to the custom of the Houjin Tartar scouts, it must have been the place where they hid their horses.

At this time, the first platoon had set up an observation position on the high ground in front of the left, the soldiers of the second platoon were also separated from the Tartars by at least a large area of woodland, and the distance in a straight line was about 700 meters, and the third platoon had already advanced to the north 200 meters, which was even farther away.

In an instant, the company commander didn't need to think about it, and the order had already blurted out, "Sergeant Major, clean up those scouts for me." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a brown second-generation dragon horse trotting out of the crowd, and the long mane on its huge and not bloated body could not hide the muscles that were as solid as steel.

At this time, the war horse had just been pulled off the dinghy, and there was only such a horse, and most importantly, the saddle had not even been put on. At this time, the horse's back was bare, and there was no human figure.

Immediately after, a middle-aged man who was about to carry a saber ran by, and when the sergeant major passed by the company commander, he suddenly stretched out his hand, and the two tacitly cooperated, and a pump-action rifle was held in the hand of the sergeant major.

After straddled the rifle belt diagonally over his shoulder, the man caught up with the second-generation dragon horse in the jogging, followed two steps, grabbed the long mane of the war horse and turned over, and the person had already appeared on the horse's back.

Everyone looked carefully, only to find that it was a knight with the rank of sergeant on the collar badge, and on the bare horseback, the sergeant chief sat steadily.

A recruit in the second platoon couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene: "I didn't expect the sergeant major, who is not inconspicuous on weekdays, to have such skills." ”

The veteran beside him glanced at the other party arrogantly, "Recruit, there are many things you didn't expect, the sergeant major is a strong man with the Tiger Ben Medal, and the unique skills in his old man's hands are enough for us to learn for a lifetime." ”

"Don't chat, search and stay focused." The platoon commander reprimanded, and everyone immediately turned their attention back to the woods.

The sergeant major gradually accelerated on horseback, and began to check his equipment as he approached the Houjin scouts.

He first took out a fierce longbow from his waist, and then grabbed five heavy armor-piercing feather arrows from the quiver on the other side, and did his work before shooting.

As a Tiger Ben, the sergeant's rifle is good, but at this time, before the large army has landed, it is best to be able to silently destroy the enemy.

He believed that with his own physical fitness and familiarity with the bow and arrow, he could do this, and that holding a pump-action rifle was just in case, a prudent habit that had been cultivated by the soldiers of the kingdom, and that a pump-action rifle, which caused a loud noise when used, was his last choice.

When the sergeant major rushed towards the Houjin scout, on the other side, in a row of observation posts set up on the hills, several recruits curiously asked their squad leader for advice.

"Squad leader, isn't it said that the two sides of the Houjin Ming Kingdom are fighting in this Dalinghe area, why are our company commanders and that sentry so sure that they have encountered the Houjin Tartar?"

Their former squad leader was wounded and retired, and the current squad leader is a non-commissioned officer student who has just graduated from the non-commissioned officer class of the martial arts hall, and he asked in surprise, "You haven't seen a Tartar?" ”

"Squad leader, I'm from Kyushu, and I've been fighting in the Wa Kingdom with the big army for the past year, and I've never been to Liaodong."

"Squad leader, I joined the army in Zhancheng, and I have never been to Liaodong."

"Squad leader, and me, I'm the Ryukyu Army."

"Hehe, squad leader, I'm Shandong, and I've never seen a Tartar."

The squad leader nodded suddenly, "Oh, I forgot, our battalion was deployed in the Kyushu Theater before, and it's not strange that you haven't seen the Tartars, so I'll tell you about it."

The troops of the Ming Kingdom and the team of the Later Jin Dynasty are very similar to the regular army, and the regular army is talking about the battalion soldiers on the side of the Ming Dynasty and the Eight Banners soldiers on the Houjin side, and the cotton armor worn by the Eight Banners is slightly modified from the cotton armor of the Ming Kingdom.

However, they are still very recognizable to each other, and there is a high lightning rod hanging on the helmet of the Houjin Eight Banner soldiers, which is their most obvious feature. ”
