At this time, more than a dozen war horses galloped towards here, led by Wang Bo and Zhang Tiehammer, they jumped off their horses quickly, ran in front of Li Ming in a few steps, and saluted Li Ming breathlessly.

Li Ming walked over, punched each of them on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The two of you are a little lucky now, can you still pass the assessment every year?" ”

When he said this, he turned to Wang Haiyang next to him and said: "Haiyang, you must not cope with errands in the summer and winter assessments every year, especially for these leading cadres at the grassroots level, if you can't pass the assessment, you have to suspend me for supplementary training." ”

Wang Haiyang hurriedly said solemnly: "Commander, the grassroots units of the First Field Division of the Northwest Field Army attach great importance to the two assessments in summer and winter every year, and there will definitely be no phenomenon of coping with errands. ”

Li Ming nodded, and then said with satisfaction: "Then I will rest assured, and I will add one more in the future, that is, there must be a standard for the weight of grassroots leading cadres." ”

He turned around and patted Wang Bo and Zhang Tiehammer on the stomach, and then said with a smile: "If you find an overweight person, you must order him to lose weight within a time limit, and if he fails to reach the standard weight within the time limit, he will also be suspended from work to lose weight." ”

Everyone laughed out loud when they heard Li Ming's words.

Wang Bo and Zhang Tiehammer glared angrily at a group of gloating guys, but everyone laughed even more happily regardless of their feelings.

Seeing that everyone was endless, Wang Bo hurriedly changed the topic and asked Li Ming: "Commander, when will our field division have a combat mission, you see that the Mongolian Legion and the newly built cavalry division have been fighting thousands of miles to the west. However, since the formation of our field division, this battle has been fought too little. ”

Zhang Tiezhu also said with a bitter face: "Yes, commander, people say that raising soldiers for a thousand days is a time to use them." But our field division really didn't fight much. No matter how well this soldier is trained, he must see blood on the battlefield. ”

When the others heard this, they all complained. They are not afraid of anything in the presence of their old rulers, and they will say whatever they have. Li Ming was not angry, but felt that these officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army were intimate with him.

But he also can't casually reveal the military commission's battle plan. He said in a deep voice: "What are you anxious about, the Central Military Commission has made reasonable arrangements for the combat tasks of various units in accordance with the environment and needs of the theater. In such a vast environment as the Great Northwest and the Kazakh steppe, can your field division play better than the cavalry troops? ”

When he said this, he thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, everyone, the big battle is coming soon." ”

The people who were originally more disappointed suddenly became excited after listening to Li Ming's later sentence. The big battle that the commander said was certainly not an ordinary battle.

Wang Bo smiled. Then he shouted, "Hey, hey...... Commander, is our Far Eastern Army going south......"

When the cadres of the surrounding units of the 1st Field Division heard this, they all looked at Li Ming with anticipation, wanting to get a definite answer from the old commander. As a matter of fact, the officers and men of the Far East Army have long been looking forward to being able to move to the Central Plains at an early date.

Li Ming glanced at Wang Bo noncommittally, and then said: "Everyone will know the specific situation in the future, and all units must pay close attention to training when they go back, and don't drop the chain again when the time comes." ”

"Yes...... It's ......"

Listened to Li Ming's words. Everyone responded loudly with excitement. Although Li Ming didn't say anything specifically, everyone heard something from his words. It seems that going south to the Central Plains will be in the past two years.

Li Ming chatted with the officers and men of the Field Division of the Northwest Army for a while, and then drove them all away. Then at the ferry port on the bank of the Yellow River, I took a steam-deck barge back to the Hetao base area.

At present, Song Tao is the only one in charge of the organs in the Hetao base area. The other members of the Standing Committee went down to the grassroots level to participate in the autumn harvest work, making the Hetao base area deserted.

Song Tao personally went to the airport to greet Li Ming. And conveyed to him a telegram from the company.

"Dude, yesterday Lao Gao sent a telegram, asking you to rush back to Shenyang as soon as possible in the next few days, and the board committee will hold an emergency meeting in the near future, so you must rush back to participate."

Li Ming nodded and said, "You arrange an airship immediately." I'll leave tonight. ”

Song Tao frowned and said: "Don't be in such a hurry, now the air boat wing on this side of the Hetao base area has been dispatched, and there are only a few Type 35 airships left, the weather conditions are more complicated this season, I will transfer you a Type 39 large airship from Shenyang, not to mention the speed, it is relatively safe." ”

Li Ming shook his head and said, "Pull it down, I'll go back alone, why don't you use a large airship to be specially transferred." You go and arrange it, I've been here for so many days, it's time to go back to the company. ”

Song Tao wanted to persuade again, but he saw that Li Ming's attitude was very resolute, so he had no choice but to go down and make arrangements.

In the evening, Li Ming stood next to a Type 35 airship and said goodbye to Song Tao, who came to see him off.

"According to the plan previously formulated by the board of directors of the company, at the latest, the Far Eastern Army will go south to the Central Plains. At that time, the Northwest Field Army will be the main force moving south to the Central Plains. In the past two years, you must actively make preparations, especially for the formation of several newly built cavalry divisions, and you must seize the time, because the Central Military Commission will give strong support to the Northwest Field Army in terms of materials, personnel, backbone, and technical arms.

In addition, this winter you should go to the Eastern European Army and the Kazakh Army Group more often, and go to the grassroots level to have more exchanges with the commanders and fighters at the grassroots level. Because I didn't know my identity, Lao Zhao, the non-commissioned officer of the new cavalry division, talked to me a lot. After listening to this, I was still very touched by the fact that the conditions of those troops stationed abroad for training are still very difficult, and we should show more concern and condolences. ”

Song Tao listened to Li Ming's words and said with a smile: "My big chief, it's almost dark this day, you better hurry up." I know all of what you're talking about, so why are you like my mother? ”

Li Ming listened to Song Tao's words and was angry.

"Good...... I'll go, you think I'm willing to be your mother. You have to remember what I said......"

Song Tao took Li Ming's arm, pushed him into the airship's pod, and then shouted loudly: "You are my ancestor, this is okay......"

After shouting, he gave a thumbs up to the pilot of the airship, and then slammed the door of the airship pod shut. With a violent humming sound, the airship slowly rose into the sky, slowly turning its huge body and flying into the distance.

Song Tao stood there, looking at the airship that was gradually moving away, I don't know why, I was a little upset in my heart, and I couldn't settle down no matter what.

He now regretted letting Li Ming go back in such a hurry, for fear that something would happen to him on the way back to Shenyang. Thinking of this, Song Tao slapped his mouth a few times, secretly scolding himself for being a crow's mouth. (To be continued.) )
