Chapter 2810
Although Bai Letong is only half a layman in the military, he also knows that the delivery method mentioned by Chen Yixin is not simple. It is highly dependent on the navy and sea transportation capacity, and also requires the army to have a certain amphibious combat capability. .

There were no outsiders present, so Bai Letong raised his doubts very frankly: "I heard that most soldiers in the north are not good at water. Will it be difficult to complete this kind of amphibious combat mission?"

Chen Yixin said with a smile: "You are talking about traditional armies such as the Ming and Qing armies. The Haihan army has no such problems. Most of the various military operations we carried out in Liaodong and the Korean peninsula began with amphibious operations. .In addition, you may not know that the Marine Corps has been stationed in the northern region since its establishment. Therefore, amphibious operations are only one of the necessary combat skills for troops in the northern region, whether it is training level or The actual combat experience will not be inferior to the troops in the south."

The northern region has invested a lot of resources in the construction of Dengzhou City, transforming it into a large military base, in order to achieve the deterrent effect Chen Yixin described.But for the garrison here to truly become an armed force capable of rapid delivery, in addition to hardware facilities such as garrison bases, ports, and troop carriers, the most important thing is of course the combat capabilities of the troops themselves.

The Marine Corps, which was formed and commanded by Tom Wang himself, was stationed in the northern region for a long period of time and was responsible for attacking the Qing army in the direction of Liaodong.Later, some of them followed Wang Tom to North America, and some of them were taken over by the Ministry of National Defense and transferred to other places to station. Most of the soldiers who were born in the north chose to continue to serve in the northern region.

The Marine Corps is a capable force selected from the army, and its military quality is much higher than that of ordinary troops.Most of these veterans who served in the Marine Corps have now been promoted to officers, forming the backbone of the various troops in the Northern Region.Amphibious warfare has also become a kind of inheritance and has become a military subject that the northern troops must practice.

As for Bai Letong's "northern soldiers are not good at water", it is indeed no longer a shortcoming of the northern army's combat capability. At least compared with Haihan's main opponent in this area, the northern army has overwhelming strength Advantage.

Beks is not a general in the army, but because he is in charge of military affairs, he has a very close relationship with the military.Wherever he went during his northern tour, the garrison troops arranged military parades, and it was no exception when he arrived at a military base like Dengzhou City.

Before Chen Yixin and his party landed, the garrison in Dengzhou City had already assembled and was waiting for inspection in the school grounds.After they arrived at the school grounds, the military parade began immediately.

The garrison troops were divided into ten marching squares according to the establishment and types of arms, and marched slowly in front of the viewing platform.Sun Bing, the commander of the Dengzhou base, stood behind Beks and explained to him the designations and combat achievements of these troops.

Sun Bing can be regarded as the representative of generals from the Marine Corps. When Wang Tom formed this force, Sun Bing was appointed as the company commander and participated in a series of military operations of the Haihan Army in the Liaodong area in the 30s. It is outstanding in battle.

By the time Wang Tom left for North America in 1652, Sun Bing had already served as the head of the Marine Corps.Wang Tom also asked Sun Bing if he would like to go overseas, but he was born in Liaodong and settled in Shandong. After serving in the army for many years, he was no longer interested in going overseas, so he chose to stay in Shandong to serve.

And Chen Yixin knew Sun Bing's abilities very well, so he also provided him with extremely high treatment and asked him to be responsible for the training and command of the garrison in Dengzhou area.After the renovation project of Dengzhou City was completed, Chen Yixin established the Dengzhou Base Command and officially appointed Sun Bing as the commander.

The command power of this headquarters is not limited to the garrison troops in Dengzhou City, but includes the entire troops of the Seventh Army Division centered on the Dengzhou base, as well as all the militias in Dengzhou.The scope of its radiated war zone is far from the local area of ​​Dengzhou, but covers the troop projection area mentioned by Chen Yixin earlier.

"The First Battalion of the Fifth Division of the Army, formerly the first troops to land on Zhifu Island in 1634, participated in our army's previous battles in Shandong and Liaodong, as well as the Datong River Battle against the Qing Army in Korea in 1637... "

"The Engineer Battalion of the Fifth Army Division has participated in the construction of major military projects such as the fortifications of the Jinzhou Isthmus, the military wharf of Lushun Port, the military wharf of Qingdao Port, and the Dengzhou Base over the years..."

"The Artillery Battalion of the Fifth Army Division, the predecessor unit killed the enemy chief Yangguli in the spring offensive in 1636, and made great contributions to our army's capture of the Jinzhou Isthmus. Now it has installed multi-caliber Type [-] field artillery..."

"The cavalry battalion of the [-]th Lu Division has more than [-] horses. It is currently in charge of defense areas mainly in the direction of Qingzhou and Laizhou..."

Sun Bing was familiar with the situation of these troops, and Beks nodded while listening, expressing his affirmation of the training work of the garrison.

Bai Letong is in a state of layman watching the excitement. He doesn't know the weapons and equipment of these troops and the history of battle, but he can also see that the tall and tall soldiers of these northern soldiers are indeed significantly different from the capable southern soldiers. .

The soldier phalanx walking at the end of the parade caught Bai Letong's attention. Its clothing was obviously different from that of the Haihan Army. Those uniform phalanxes formed a stark contrast.

Just when he was curious, Sun Bing was already explaining the origin of this special phalanx. It turned out that this phalanx was composed of foreign students who were trained at the Dengzhou base, and the personnel composition was relatively complicated.

There are militia officers from all over Denglai and other states, as well as soldiers from the North Korean court, and some people are from some tribal armed forces supported by Haihan in Liaodong.

Strictly speaking, the armed forces of these people are not the regular army. Haihan's training purpose is mostly out of geopolitical considerations, not to train them into a professional army with strong combat capabilities. The requirements will also be different from those of the Haihan Army.

Of course, according to the tradition of the Haihan Army, if talents with special skills are found in it, they will definitely try to win over and train them, and it would be best if they can be naturalized.

"Then are these people trained here for free or do they have to pay?" Bai Letong curiously asked Chen Pingliao beside him.

Chen Pingliao replied: "It depends on the situation. Those who try to get us to come, such as North Korean students, have to pay the tuition fee before they can come. Those recruited by us can be accepted depending on the situation." Reduction and exemption, and even a little military salary during the training period. There are also training opportunities for some people who are sponsored by the sponsors behind them, such as those militiamen. Most of them used to be members of local militia groups. There will be clans or local gentry paying for them. undergo training."
