After the formation of the Central Plains Campaign Command was completed, Li Minghe, political commissar Shi Mingfeng, deputy political commissar Ma Qing, deputy commander Song Tao, chief of staff Lin Hua, and commanders of various corps gathered in the war room of the headquarters every day to study the battle plan.

They also went down to various units participating in the battle to express their condolences to the commanders and fighters of the units at the grassroots level and to hold discussions with the officers and men of the units. Anyway, since Li Ming and they came to the Hetao, they have been busy in the dark.

The preparations for the Central Plains Campaign were very cumbersome, and the material preparations for the main forces, paramilitary units, and militia forces participating in the battle, preparations for the implementation of the battle plan, and the collection and collation of forward intelligence could be said to be innumerable.

Hu Wei, Li Ming, Guo Song, Zhou Lin, Lu Yongren, and Lin Jinghua served as members of the Standing Committee of the Central Plains Bureau, of which Hu Wei was mainly responsible for the work of the Central Plains Bureau Committee in the Central Plains.

While taking charge of military work, Li Ming also had to communicate frequently with the newly established Central Plains Bureau Committee of the Nationalities Affairs Committee. Moreover, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Plains Bureau Committee, he must also attend some of the more important meetings of the Central Plains Bureau Committee.

So Li Ming is very busy every day, and now he is used by himself as a few people, getting up early and burying himself in the mountains of work. Only get three or four hours of sleep a day. He almost opened his eyes to work, and in less than a month, he lost more than a dozen pounds.

No way, this Central Plains Battle has extraordinary significance for the company. Li Ming, as the future helmsman of the Far East, must personally command this significant battle.

At the end of March, the temperature in the Loop has gradually warmed. Although it is still bitterly cold at night, the snow has cleared during the day, and it is muddy everywhere.

Li Ming and Song Tao took a jeep and arrived at a military camp near Bayannur. It was remote and heavily guarded, and they drove through several sentry posts before reaching the center of the camp.

"How do you guys make it look like Fifty-One here?"

Listening to Li Ming's words, Song Tao said with a smile: "There is nothing too confidential here, the main thing is to let them develop a good habit and save them casually in the future." ”

Li Ming nodded and said, "Hmm...... This habit is good, how many people are in this camp at the moment? ”

"Now almost all the reconnaissance units of the Far Eastern Army have been transferred by me. I have also dropped a group of backbones from the Central Garrison Regiment, and the total number has reached more than 2,000 people, all of whom are the elite of various units. They have been training here for several months, and last year they also formed a number of squads, and with the cooperation of the Ministry of Intelligence, they entered Daming to carry out missions, and the results were very brilliant. ”

Li Ming listened to Song Tao's words, frowned and said, "What task are they going to perform?" ”

Song Tao said with a smile: "It was Billy Zhou who got that task and picked a lot of gentry and landlords in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, it caused a great sensation in Daming, and even Chongzhen issued several orders to ask the local government to strictly investigate. ”

"Oh...... I remembered......"

Li Ming also remembered Billy Zhou's plan at the beginning, but he didn't continue the topic.

"You have to be nailed here these days, the combat mission of the special operations unit is very important, and there must be no problems. Before the main forces could attack, they had to complete the task. ”

Song Tao smiled and said, "My commander, you can rest assured about this." The combat mission had already been sent to the various combat groups a month ago, and they had been conducting targeted training in accordance with the combat plan. ”

The two walked and chatted, and drove all the way to the center of the camp. The camp is huge, and a large number of officers and soldiers are training on a muddy playground.

Wang Xiaojie, Liu Handong and others were standing on the edge of the playground to supervise the training, and when they saw Li Ming and Song Tao, they all came over to salute.

Li Ming waved his hand, and then said with a smile: "Don't talk about those useless things, if anyone drops the chain at that time, don't blame me for being rude, I'm going to march the law." ”

Wang Xiaojie laughed and said, "Commander, you can just look at it......"

Li Ming scolded with a smile: "Don't talk so much, if something really goes wrong, see how I clean you up." By the way, you should also participate in the action this time. I said you all have old arms and legs, can you still do it? ”

Liu Handong next to him heard it, and he was anxious at that time.

"Commander, you must not say that men can't do it, you have to do it if you can't do it......"

Song Tao laughed and said: "It's okay if you can't do it, Wang Xiaojie, you are harmed by the long-legged sisters every day, not to mention Lao Liu, there are four women in the family, you are not so satisfied, you have recently received a big Yanma, and your two waists are already about to have a fistula." ”

As early as a year ago, the Central Military Commission transferred the elite scouts of various units to the Hetao area. And formed this special operations brigade. Of course, this brigade-level unit is only a temporary unit, and it was mainly formed temporarily for the Central Plains Campaign.

Before the Central Plains Campaign was launched, the special operations brigade would form a number of special operations squads to infiltrate the territory of the Ming Dynasty in advance by landing in advance to carry out various special operations tasks.

The number of each special operations squad is less than 30 people, and ordinary soldiers are equipped with revolvers & guns, tactical daggers & heads, six oval hand % grenades, two smoke % bombs and four gas % bombs, wearing the latest spring camouflage special combat uniforms and bulletproof vests, helmets equipped with night vision devices, stab-proof military boots and other most advanced individual equipment of the Far Eastern Army at present.

The special operations team's melee weapons are equipped with the latest pump-action five-shot shotguns, Type 28 sniper rifles, 40mm grenade launchers, and other individual weapons.

The captain and backbone of each special operations squad are members of the special operations team from the Central Garrison Regiment, and are equipped with modern automatic weapons such as AK automatic rifles and RPK light machine guns.

Some of the special mission squads are also equipped with some light heavy weapons, including sixty-millimeter mortars, RPG rocket launchers, MON50 directional anti-infantry mines, and more.

The Central Military Commission also dispatched some engineers from various units to participate in the training, and they will carry explosives and other explosives during the operation to help the special operations teams provide blasting support. In addition, each special operations team is also equipped with a radio station and uses a communication relay airship in the air in the theater to keep in touch with its superiors at any time.

The special operations team can also get strong support from various intelligence stations in the Ming Dynasty. The intelligence personnel deployed in various places of the Central Plains Intelligence Station will provide accurate ground coordinates for each special operations team, assist the special operations team to descend to the deep Ming area, and then lead them to complete their respective tasks.
