The airship in which Li Ming was riding slowly landed at the airport in the Quang Ninh garrison area, and Hao Changfeng, commander of the Western Army Corps, and Liu Jiang, political commissar, led the responsible persons at all levels of the corps headquarters to greet Li Ming at the airport.

Everyone saluted Li Ming one after another, and then everyone came to the Western Army Headquarters together. Everyone gathered in front of a huge sand table, and Hao Changfeng reported to Li Ming on the deployment of the Western Army Corps and the current progress of various units.

Li Ming frowned and said, "It seems that our previous battle plan was still a little insufficient for the deployment of the Western Legion. Once there is a change, with the current strength of the Western Legion, it will still be a little stretched. ”

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to Chief of Staff Lin Hua and said, "Although the battle process of the Central Army Corps and the Eastern Army Corps is relatively smooth, the battle situation has changed. The situation in the western steppes is too complicated, and if there is a change, the situation may develop in an unknown direction, and we should be prepared. Now looking at the reserves of the Western Corps, it is still too thin. The Central Army Corps has already eliminated the main force of the Horqin Division, so should several of the main cavalry brigades of the Central Army be transferred over. ”

Lin Hua looked at the sand table for a while, nodded and said, "Hmm...... I'll arrange it. ”

Hao Changfeng smiled and said to Li Ming: "Commander, I think the deployment of our Western Army is okay, after all, our equipment, as well as the suzhì of the troops, are not at all a grade compared to those Mongolian tribes. Our greatest advantage is our advanced communication system and the fact that the airship detachment can conduct reconnaissance over the theater of operations. The shape of the entire battlefield can be grasped at the headquarters at the first time. ”

Li Ming raised his head, looked at Hao Changfeng with a straight face, and looked at the other party straight.

"What if the airship can't take off? If we lose our precise grasp of the shape of the battlefield, do you dare to say that your judgment of the fighter plane can be compared to that of the leaders of those tribes in the steppe? ”

Hao Changfeng was stunned when he heard this. Hurriedly shook his head and said: "If there is no air support, those Mongolians who grew up on the grassland are the masters of the grassland." No matter how well armed and equipped we are, we may not be able to catch them on the grassland. ”

Li Ming's face improved a little at this time, and then he said in a deep voice: "You can realize this, the grassland is the home of the Mongols." We were able to defeat them with advanced equipment. As the commander of the corps, you must take into account all kinds of unexpected situations on the battlefield, and you must consider the fastest aspects, and then make a plan. If you notice a change, you can respond to it in a timely manner.

The battle situation between the Central Army and the Eastern Army has changed, and I don't know why, I have a bad premonition in my heart, and I always feel that the Western Army will not be so smooth. I hope I'm worried, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared. So I ask the Western Corps, in the next battle, absolutely not the slightest sloppiness. ”

Hao Changfeng and Liu Jiang listened to Li Ming's words, and they all shouted loudly: "Please rest assured, commander, to ensure the completion of the task!" ”

Chief of Staff Lin Hua walked over and said to Li Ming: "I chatted with Gao Qiang, although the Central Army will not have any big battles in the future, the task is also relatively heavy. They are sweeping the Horqin steppe, and they can't muster too many troops. Only two main Mongolian cavalry brigades and two Mongolian militia brigades could be transferred. Do you think you need to transfer another batch of troops from the Eastern Corps? ”

Li Ming shook his head and said: "Don't move the Eastern Legion first, they have the largest area there, and there are not many troops, except for a few main cavalry brigades, the others are natives sent by various tribes, and the manpower is still not enough." There were four brigades of the Central Corps. It was enough to strengthen the reserves of the Western Corps. With the mobile units of these four brigades, we can cope with even if the shape of the battlefield changes. ”

At this time, the communications staff officer next to him turned to Li Ming and shouted, "Commander, Deputy Commander Song Tao has requested to speak to you." ”

Li Ming walked over and took the microphone from the hand of the communications staff officer. Then he smiled and said, "Commander Song, why did you come back?" ”

"Dude, don't mention it...... The Horqin Department was in chaos, and it also pitted me and my brothers, all of them were Mongols, and it was easy for our brothers to climb out. After we launched an attack, we had to rely on the air boat detachment to provide aerial reconnaissance, so I simply grabbed a few horses, rode with my brothers to find the large army, and returned to Shenyang by boat from the Xiliao River. Just as I was catching the plane of the Air Force to transfer to the Quang Ninh garrison area, I returned with my brothers. ”

Li Ming laughed when he heard this: "The beheading task of the Horqin Department has been completed very well, and the effect is also very obvious. It just so happens that you are here, and it is estimated that here in the Western Military Region, you will still need the help of the special combat team. ”

"In about half an hour, the plane will land, and we'll meet and talk."

Hao Changfeng next to them were very excited when they heard that Song Tao and the special combat team had arrived. With Song Tao and the special combat team, it means that the Western Military Region has an extra sword in its hands.

Wang Haiyang jumped off the deck barge and shouted to the soldiers of his company: "Everyone move quickly......

He is now a company commander of a field division, and after this battle, the regiment headquarters is ready to promote him to deputy commander of the regiment's training unit; although he is transferred at the same level, this is also to pave the way for him to become a battalion-level commander in the future, so that he can train in the organ for a period of time and enrich his military experience. As the target of the Central Military Commission's key training, every step of his transfer will be considered.

The officers and men of the 1st Brigade of the Field Division disembarked from the ships one after another, and the two quadcopter-wing UAVs took off first, and after making sure that there was no enemy around, the officers and men of the 1st Brigade of the Field Division quickly established a landing ground on the south bank of the Xilamulun River. It also assisted the engineer battalion in setting up defensive positions, improvised docks, fenced barbed wire, machine gun and artillery firing positions, snake cage fortifications, material storage points, iron frame watchtowers, airstrips and other facilities.

"Buzz...... Buzz ......"

More than a dozen Honda CRF250R off-road motorcycles roared out of the camp. This is a brigade reconnaissance company, and a patrol team was sent to patrol the surrounding area separately. The airship was about to fly away, and the 1st Brigade of the Field Division had to set up several mobile posts nearby to provide the troops with the necessary ground guard.

Arriving at the same time as the 1st Brigade of the Field Division was an armored brigade equipped with three BTR-60 armored vehicles, eight UAZ-469 jeeps, 12 UAZ-452 light off-road vehicles, more than 20 KAMAZ trucks, and dozens of agricultural vehicles. and an artillery brigade consisting of two Type 2B11 120mm mortars, six Type 2B14 82mm mortars, and two Type 35 12-barreled 107mm rocket launchers.

In addition, there is a drone squad with three quadcopter drones. A delta-wing squad with three delta-wing aircraft. There was also a Type 32 twin-engine small airship cruising nearby over the landing site of the 1st Brigade of the Field Division, providing them with air alert. (To be continued......)
