Due to various reasons, the combat effectiveness and role that the Haihan cavalry could play in the eastern Liaodong region were very limited, and in addition to Halugong himself, it was inconvenient for other commanders to assign the cavalry with limited strength to the front line to fight with the Houjin cavalry. The few horsemen under Gao Qiao Nan did not dare to send out easily, so he handed over this task to Shen Zhixiang, and the performance of the other party did not disappoint him, although he failed to completely annihilate the Houjin Rangers, but after this battle, he must be able to be quiet for a few days, and he will not soon see the Houjin cavalry appear outside the camp again.

Before winter, the Haihan had launched a navy-led feint on the Linhai Plain near the Isthmus of Jinzhou, but even with that offensive that caused great trouble for the Later Jin army, the Haihan was unable to establish a fortress-like stronghold on land that could be garrisoned for a long time. And this time, the Jin army has already reconnoitred the camp built by Haihan on the seashore more than ten miles away from the Jinzhou Isthmus, and naturally will realize what such a move means.

It stands to reason that the Houjin Army, which has a considerable proportion of cavalry, has a clear advantage in land mobility, but they got the news too late, and it took several days to mobilize troops from Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou and other places. Moreover, although the snow has gradually become scarce by this time, the snow in the field has not melted, and the cavalry troops will have to move in the field for a long time, and the large amount of forage required by the horses will be a great headache. In order to solve this trouble, the Later Jin army had to recruit a large number of carts and pack horses from the people to transport the grain and grass supplies needed by the troops.

One step is slow, one step is slow, when the Houjin army is still worried about the messy logistics problems, Haihan has already begun to send Lushun's garrison to the front line in batches, waiting for the weather to clear up and launch an offensive.

The Haihan Navy was divided into two fleets, the East Route, led by Tom Wang, with the goal of landing on the coast of Dalian Bay, while the West Route Fleet was led by Morgan, and the landing site he chose was the hill on the Bohai coast that he had led his sniper team to before. After Morgan returned from the previous reconnaissance, he had already made a plan to build a firepower position with the help of the local terrain, like a nail driven into the Isthmus of Jinzhou, making it difficult for the Houjin army to let the horses go south to attack the Haihan camp on the plain.

March 7, fine. The special operations battalion in the south of Gaoqiao left early in the morning and marched north. Shen Zhixiang's troops followed, and only three or four hundred logistics personnel, some soldiers and civilians and some navy remained here in the Shahe camp.

Takahashi Minami sat on the horse, not in a high-spirited manner, but respectfully followed the black war horse in front of him, keeping a distance of half a horse's body, so that he could hear the command of the man on the horseback at any time.

Even though Gao Qiao Nan has become a senior officer commanding the Haihan ace army today, he is still as obedient as ever in front of Qian Tiandun, no different from when he was just released from the hard labor camp and assigned to Qian Tiandun's command as a service soldier. Although Qian Tiandun never needed any retainers, Takahashi Minami has always silently placed himself in this position and tried his best to serve him.

"After this battle, your promotion reward should come down. ”

Qian Tiandun's voice came from the front, making Takahashi Nan's originally slightly lowered gaze immediately raised: "The application for the expansion of the special operations battalion has passed?"

Takahashi Nan knew that it was unlikely that he would be transferred out of the special operations battalion, and there was no promotion here, except for the expansion and restructuring of the special operations battalion, there should be no other way to further improve his official position. However, he didn't care about the extent to which his military rank and position could be promoted, whether he could continue to work under Qian Tiandun, and whether he could continue to expand the establishment of the special operations battalion, which was what he was most concerned about.

"The special operations battalion will be converted into a regiment, and your rank will be promoted to lieutenant colonel. Qian Tiandun's voice was full of pride: "This is the first regiment-level establishment in the army, and your name will also be included in the military museum in the future." ”

Although Takahashi Nan didn't care so much about fame and fortune, when he heard Qian Tiandun's words, he also knew what an honor this was for a soldier, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and responded: "The humble function is today, and I want to thank the chief for cultivating!"

Qian Tiandun's head was raised slightly, he looked at the sky in the distance, and said unhurriedly: "You are an excellent soldier, whether you are on an errand under me or not, you will eventually get ahead one day." Thank me, but thank yourself. ”

Takahashi Nan didn't dare to answer this question, he didn't think that he was really as powerful as Qian Tiandun said, he only knew that if he hadn't met Qian Tiandun, then he might have died on a construction site in Victory Harbor eight years ago. This kindness is not too much to repay even if it takes a lifetime, and he intends to do just that. Of course, the most important thing at the moment is naturally to settle the battle of Golden State, and this battle must be fought beautifully, otherwise wouldn't it be worthy of the upcoming reward?

However, Qian Tiandun's heart was not thinking about the spring offensive, the part of the battle plan that should have been set has been decided, and the remaining uncertain part will depend on the commanders' on-the-spot response. However, he was sure that the victory of this battle would definitely belong to Haihan, and in order to be able to achieve the strategic goal of stationing in Liaodong, Haihan had been preparing for several years, and this time he mobilized a large army to attack the Jinzhou Isthmus with the strength of a lion fighting a rabbit, also because Shengli Fort and the Ministry of Defense could not afford to lose, and would rather spend more effort to win this battle steadily.

Since the spring offensive is a sure thing, Qian Tiandun naturally won't bother anymore, but what he is thinking about now is the post-war matter. Over the years, he has fought all the way from the South China Sea to the Yellow Sea, and has not tasted defeat on the battlefield, and its establishment has been expanded again and again, and it can be said to be the most beautiful unit in the army. But Qian Tiandun knew that his army had obvious flaws, that is, it was difficult to adapt to the environment in the north.

Although the special operations battalion had been stationed in Shandong for more than a year before this, after it really entered Liaodong, there was an epidemic in the army immediately. Qian Tiandun understood that this was not due to the negligence of the medical staff in the army, but because there were too many soldiers from the south in the special operations battalion, and it was difficult for them to adapt to the climate in the northeast. Officers, including Minami Takahashi, have raised this issue with him on more than one occasion, but the military order is in place, and the special operations battalion can only complete the tasks assigned by the Ministry of Defense before making other plans.
