Although the training was finally on the right track, after a month, it almost exhausted the squad and platoon leaders of those teaching teams to death. These veteran ruffians are too difficult, and if they don't pay attention to it, they will be lazy at the opportunity, and a few bamboo sticks are folded. And there are many things, today my stomach hurts, tomorrow my head hurts, and the day after tomorrow my butt hurts.

Fortunately, Li Ming brought 100 cadets from the Army Academy and 200 non-commissioned officers from the Non-Commissioned Officer Academy, and Li Ming put these people in the training camp for veteran ruffians and went directly down to the squad to strictly supervise their training.

The training team is notoriously ruthless, so that these 3,000 veterans have tasted all the hardships, and they have to have an emergency assembly once or twice a week. Every morning and evening, the five-kilometer cross-country is wearing a full set of dozens of pounds of equipment, and carrying a sandbag vest.

These veterans stayed up for more than two months, and then began to distribute weapons to them, Zhang Tiehammer became a long knife hand, Wang Bo became a fire gunner, in addition to the training of a large amount of exercise every day, there was more training of professional weapons and battle array drills.

At this stage, the su zhì of these veteran ruffians is clearly reflected, although they are cunning and lazy, they all have the ability to save their lives on the battlefield. Zhang Tiezhu's fierce broadsword is not to mention, and Wang Bo used to be a firecracker, and he was a bird gun with a precise hand. Now the Japanese iron cannon he is equipped with is more powerful than the Ming army's bird gun, and it is more delicately made.

Although these veterans are physically fit and desperately lazy and slippery in queue training, when it comes to weapon training and battle array training, they are all energetic, after all, they are all men who have seen blood on the battlefield and know that this is a life-saving skill. No one dares to fool around.

Li Ming and Song Tao were not idle during this time, making plans with everyone every day, and Song Tao also personally led the special combat team, guided by a few ruffians who were familiar with the terrain, and took them to land twice in Gaizhou. Went deep into the hinterland of Houjin to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and determined the attack route of the troops.

As the weather became colder day by day, several overseas brigades had changed into winter clothes, but the training did not stop at all. I still train at full capacity every day, and I also have a few long-distance training around Jeju Island.

Vladivostok has already sent a large number of supplies to the base on Ocean Island, including a large number of horses. All of them are equipped with newly developed battlefield weapons and logistics equipment carrying systems.

This time, the troops went deep into the hinterland of Houjin and marched in an all-mule and horse-mounted manner, mainly to test the reliability and practicability of these newly developed battlefield weapons and logistical equipment carrying systems. There is also the test of several newly developed artillery pieces and water-cooled heavy machine guns for use in winter combat.

The main force of the participating troops was the three brigades of the Overseas Corps with a total of 9,000 men, and the Far Eastern Division also had several hundred fighters as fire support units and general reserves. As much as possible, let these Ming soldiers of the overseas corps participate in the front-line battles.

These ruffians have been practicing for so long, so they don't need to be in vain. They still have to go to Luzon in winter, and when the time comes, they will probably have to fight with the upcoming home fleet of the Kingdom of Spain.

Either they won't practice so hard, but fortunately, these soldiers have all seen battles, whether they win or lose, at least they are stronger than when the recruits of the teaching team first go to the battlefield.

Huang Taiji's guards (white teeth), armor soldiers (camp soldiers), infantry (no armor soldiers), and pawns (soldiers) brought by Huang Taiji this time. The white tooth and the battalion soldiers belong to the armor of three dings, and the infantry is the Houjin strong man outside the armor. The servants were the auxiliaries of the Houjin slaves.

The main force is the Houjin soldiers, and the Mongolian soldiers on both flanks have more than 3,000 troops. At that time, the Manchurian soldiers were basically 300 dings per cow, and the usual armor was 100 armor. This hundred armor includes ten white-armored guards, forty red-armored guards, and fifty battalion soldiers.

This time, there were more than 7,000 guards, more than 7,000 marching soldiers, more than 5,000 infantry, and more than 10,000 soldiers. The servants of the Later Jin regime were combat-ready and often went to the battlefield, and those who made meritorious contributions could get rid of their slave status. plus more than 3,000 Mongol two-wing soldiers. At this time, Houjin entered the Eight Banners, and the whole army was more than 30,000.

The Mongolian soldiers of the outer domains who entered the customs together, the Mongolian Second Banner plus the Horqin, Naiman, Ao Han and Karaqin Divisions. The total number is also nearly 10,000. Huang Taiji entered the customs for the first time, with a total of more than 40,000 Mongolian soldiers. Of course, these more than 40,000 people are not all soldiers, including more than 10,000 soldiers and miscellaneous laborers such as logistics, miscellaneous labor, messengers, clothing, and migrant workers.

This was already equivalent to more than half of the military strength of the post-Jin regime at that time. They are all the elites of the Houjin Eight Banners. The drastic changes in Dongjiang Town finally made Huang Taiji feel at ease to lead the troops into the customs. Even the remaining main force of the Houjin Tartars was mostly stationed in the direction of Jinzhou to defend against the Guanning army in Jinzhou.

The military strength of Gaizhou, Haizhou and Liaoyang is very empty, but the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty each Niu Lu sent troops, and there was one person in Sanding as a soldier, a typical table that does not distinguish between soldiers and people. It's just that the bannermen who are soldiers are called "armor men", and the bannermen who are not soldiers for the time being are called "Yu Ding" or "idle".

Even these "remnants" or "idle" who are not soldiers do not produce on weekdays, and they are all paramilitary personnel who can fight with armor on their horses. It is not so much the regime that the post-gold Tartars have established, but rather a robbery group. And this robbery was not a spontaneous act of the army, but a deliberate encouragement and connivance of the rulers, an officially designated policy.

Song Tao was guided by these soldiers who were familiar with the terrain of southern Liaoning all the way through Liaoyang, and even to the banks of the Hunhe River near Shenyang.

In the past, as soon as the Jin Tatars and the Guanning Army started fighting on the Ningjin front, the soldiers and ruffians of all walks of life in Dongjiang Town would land like locusts on the coasts of southern Liaoning, stealing chickens and dogs, robbing houses and houses, and relying on the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, they did not add to the blockage of Huang Taiji and them.

At least half of the ruffians of the three brigades of the overseas corps of the unit have done this kind of work, especially Gaizhou and Haizhou, all the way to Anshan in Liaoyang, and finally to Shenyang, the terrain is very flat, and the river is flat. The soldiers and ruffians in Dongjiang Town even harassed Anshan as far away.

For the last time, Song Tao led the special combat team to reconnoiter in the areas of Gaizhou, Haizhou, Liaoyang, and Shenyang. All kinds of signs indicate that Huang Taiji has led his troops into the customs. Based on the analysis of the results fed back by various intelligences, the time is ripe for this winter operation.

Li Ming also immediately issued an order to implement the winter battle plan, and the entire military camp on Jeju Island was suddenly busy. The training of nearly 10,000 overseas soldiers and ruffians has been stopped, and the food of the troops has begun to become abundant. At least one fish and one meat at each meal, and one corn stalk wine per person in the evening.

But every morning you have to go out for exercise, you have to turn off the lights at 9 o'clock in the evening, and rest the time. A group of soldiers and ruffians are all old fritters who have been in the army for many years, and they know that this is going to war.

If it was before the Ming army went to war, the sergeants in the barracks would have been full of tension. However, when these ruffians from the overseas corps heard about it, they were all very excited.

Especially Zhao Si, who had experienced two battles, even cheered directly in the barracks. Zhao Si is now a corporal squad leader because of his combat bravery, and he usually has to assist the young platoon commander to manage this group of difficult ruffians.

Because of the promotion, Zhao Si, the squad leader, did extremely serious work and trained very hard. He can see that in the eyes of these overseas people, it is useless to steal and play tricks and slap horses. The only way to get promoted and make a fortune is to desperately accumulate military merits on the battlefield.

He had now saved more than thirty taels of silver, and he still had to count them several times a day. Zhao Si had already heard that the person with outstanding achievements this time might go to Nanyang to fight Franky. If you win, you will divide the land to everyone, and it is said that you will also divide your wife. Although I have to sign a long-term contract with the company, who cares about that, I can't leave even if I drive them away now.

These ruffians are more convinced by the company, and from the day they came here, everything the company promised them has done, or even done better. And everything here depends on ability, and those who dare to work hard have a chance, so everyone is eager to fight.

Although the newly formed "veteran ruffian" brigade was the latest, its foundation was the best among the three overseas brigades that participated in the war. At least half of these people are from Dongjiang Town.

Although the low-level military attachés in Dongjiang Town are not the same thing as the orthodox Ming army, they are all a group of defeated troops and deserters from the former Liao Town and Guannei Military Town.

Even if it is an ordinary soldier, they are the most capable soldiers under the command of each thousand commanders. Although it was only trained for less than three months, compared with the two overseas brigades that had been trained for nearly a year, if they were really pulled to the battlefield, they might not know what would happen.

Now the atmosphere of the "veteran ruffian" brigade is also very warm, and they are now finally idle. A group of people get together every day when they have nothing to do, and many veteran ruffians go to other camps to find some people they know and ask what happened in the previous two battles.

Wang Bo sat there meticulously wiping the newly issued front-loading rifled musket gun, and since he had fired a few Mini rounds with this firearm, he was stunned by the performance of this firearm. A distance of more than a hundred steps can actually penetrate heavy armor, if this is on the battle array, it is simply an artifact.

The company attaches great importance to this winter operation, and in order to strengthen the strength of the overseas brigades, the company specially allocated more than 2,000 front-loading rifled muskets to reequip the musketeers of two of the brigades.

Wang Bo wiped his gun and smiled at a group of soldiers gathered around him: "If Lao Tzu had this firecracker, I would have been able to kill a few Tartar princes Baylor, maybe even the old slave could be killed with one shot." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard him brag there. Zhang Tiezhu held the katana in his hand, and said with a smile: "Paralyzed, if we practiced like this before, the Tartars are a fart, if their horse team dares to rush over, I can split them in half with one sword." (To be continued)
