This year's resettlement of displaced people and the next large-scale spring ploughing work were not too smooth, and there were problems in the process, so the time for the company to launch the second phase of the northbound plan was postponed for about a month. Now that the spring sowing work in the northeast and the outer northeast is nearing completion, Li Ming has also begun to prepare for the headquarters of the group army in the north.

At present, the four main cavalry divisions of the Mongolian Army Corps and dozens of Mongolian militia brigades are going south to the northeast to support the spring plowing work in the resettlement sites of the displaced people.

The units of the Mongolian Legion in the northeast and the outer northeast are also slowly gathering in the Dehui area. In a few days, tens of thousands of cavalry units of the Mongol legion had been assembled.

With an order, tens of thousands of Mongolian iron horsemen gathered in the Dehui area began to advance all the way to the west. Li Ming abandoned riding the train and instead rode on horseback with many cavalrymen from the Mongol legions.

Li Ming and the heads of the various units stood on a high ground on war horses, and tens of thousands of cavalry roared past him in a column. Countless Mongolian cavalry saw the Far Eastern Marshal, and they all spontaneously took off their helmets, shaking them vigorously while shouting loudly at Li Ming.

"Woohoo...... Woohoo......"

Hearing the shouts of the Mongolian cavalry, Li Ming also took off his helmet, held it above his head and shook it in response, which also attracted a louder shout from the Mongolian cavalry, and the sound was deafening and spread to all directions.

Li Ming turned around and shouted loudly to the heads of the various units with a smile: "It seems that the morale of the troops is very strong, haha...... You should all go back to the troops, and strive to reach Tieling as quickly as possible, this battle has been delayed for a month. ”

Everyone listened to Li Ming's order, and all responded loudly, and then saluted and turned around and left. Li Ming and a group of guards urged horses to join the army marching westward. Tens of thousands of iron horsemen galloped through the starry night. Like a stream of iron rolling westward, troops continued to join along the way, and by the time the troops arrived in Shenyang, the number had exceeded 100,000.

Shi Mingfeng, political commissar of the group army, Wang Yaowu, deputy commander, and Gao Qiang, chief of staff, also set up a group army staff on the west bank of the Liao River in Tieling. Various combat logistical support detachments. They were also drawn from all over the country and converged in the direction of Tieling.

At this time, a huge military camp had been built along the Liao River in Tieling, and tens of thousands of Mongolian iron horsemen who had arrived from all over the country had already assembled here in advance, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the legion.

Li Ming rode a war horse and rushed into the barracks, and he rode a horse for hundreds of kilometers along the way, his two thighs had been ground to blood, and when he got off the horse, both legs were almost numb. Shi Mingfeng, political commissar of the Northbound Group Army Headquarters, Wang Yaowu, deputy commander, and Gao Qiang, chief of staff, and others. It has been waiting here for a long time to welcome the arrival of Li Ming and the main force.

Everyone came to the war room of the group army headquarters, and Gao Qiang first reported to Li Ming on the formation of the group army headquarters and the arrangements for the logistics and materials of the troops.

"Commander, in the past few days, the political commissar and I have set up the shelves of various departments of the group army headquarters, and at present, the personnel drawn by the military commission from various units are rushing in from all over the country. In addition, the troops directly under the army group. As well as various combat logistics support units, they are also being formed. Expected three days later. The headquarters of the group army will be formally formed.

In order to ensure the supply of materials to the group army, the logistics department of the Central Military Commission has also carried out mobilization, and a large amount of materials have been loaded and shipped in advance, and weapons and equipment, ammunition, fodder, grain, and other materials have arrived at the front line as soon as possible. In the process of the troops' westward advance, the logistics subdivisions in various localities along the way also took action. In the course of the march, the main forces were resupplied and placed. ”

Next to the deputy commander Wang Yaowu. He also added: "In order to ensure the density of our firepower, the Military Commission has assigned us an armored brigade, an automobile brigade, two artillery regiments, an engineer regiment and other directly subordinate units. In addition, the Air Force Department has also assigned the Liaodong Air Boat Wing and two delta-wing aircraft squadrons to our Beishang Group Army to provide us with all-round fire support. ”

Li Ming stayed at the headquarters of the group army until the evening. After arranging all kinds of work, he rushed to Shenyang by car and went directly to the Military Commission. At this time, Gao Jianguo was also relatively busy, the southbound troops were assembling in Ceylon, and they were about to launch the Indian campaign, and he was left as a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission, and he was busy in the office at this time.

When Gao Jianguo saw Li Ming, he smiled and said, "You're back, you see I'm so busy, I don't have time to pick you up." ”

Li Ming took a cigarette handed over by Gao Jianguo, sat opposite Gao Jianguo, lit it and took a puff, and then asked with a smile: "Old Gao, are you not going to India?" ”

"You and Lao Shi formed the Northbound Group Army, Lao Li and I left again, only Lao Qiao was left in the Military Commission, in case something happened, Lao Qiao couldn't settle down alone. After all, the company's main force has been evacuated, and at present, there are only ten garrison brigades and some musket militia units in Liaodong and the outer northeast. So I asked Lao Qiao and Lao Li to preside over the Indian campaign, and I stayed in Shenyang myself. ”

After he finished speaking, he took a few puffs of cigarette, and then said with a wry smile: "After the second phase of the battle of the northbound plan is completed, you still have to go to the Hetao to establish the Hetao base area, and this trip may take another year." Lao Qiao and Lao Li will not be able to come back until the beginning of spring next year after the battle in India. Paralyzed, I am the only one left in the Military Commission for the Chinese New Year this year. ”

"If you miss us, go and see us, anyway, now we have an airship, and it won't take ten days to fly from Shenyang to Bayan Zhuoer. In three days, our army group will be marching north. We'll meet again, maybe after next spring, let's have a drink tonight? ”

When Gao Jianguo heard this, he also sighed in his heart, Li Ming had left Shenyang for more than a year, and he had only come back for a short time, but he was leaving again. He smiled and said: "That's necessary, let's fix it with me, it just so happens that I also want to study the next step of the work of the Military Commission with you before you leave." We talked and drank at the same time, and we didn't delay anything when we drank at work. ”

After a while, Gao Jianguo arranged for someone to write cooked food and side dishes, and took a few bottles of Far Eastern special supplies, and the two of them put the dishes on the desk, opened two bottles of special supplies and began to drink. They talked and drank while exchanging views on the work of the Central Military Commission in the next stage, and the two drank until dawn before they left.

In the early hours of the morning, the camps of the Beishang Group Army along the Hunhe River were brightly lit and the war horses were neighing, and all the commanders and fighters of the Beishang Group Army were ready to go. Li Ming glanced at his watch, turned to Gao Qiang, the chief of staff behind him, and said in a deep voice: "It's almost time, notify the troops to go......" (To be continued......
