The Western Military District stationed.

With Li Jun's order, the entire Western Military Region became busy, the operational staff officers quickly conveyed the orders of the top level, military material resources were continuously transported to the troops, and the war machine of the entire Western Military Region was rapidly operational. But this situation was interrupted by a sudden event.

"Report to the Chief of Staff that the baggage units of our army have been plundered. All the supplies they were carrying were taken away. The troops escorting the supplies suffered heavy losses, and now the remnants have made contact with the headquarters of the military district. The herald delivered an explosive piece of news to Li Jun.

"What?" Li Jun was shocked. You must know that since the Western Military Region went south to the Mongolian steppe and crisscrossed the Ganning region for such a long time, there has never been a mistake in logistics. The Ganning region is too far away from the northeast, and it is already difficult to transport baggage, so every burden is very important to the Western Military Region. After all, the Northeast came to the Ganning region not for tourism, they asked for military supplies to carry out the war.

"Know who did it?" Li Jun's face was extremely pale, seeing that the Northeast Security Army was about to launch a big war in the Ganning area, he didn't expect such a thing to happen. Li Jun felt like he was being slapped in the face.

"It's a horse bandit in Shaanxi! It's huge, with thousands of people! One of our battalions carrying supplies was crippled by an ambush. Food supplies have also been robbed! The herald said.

"Damn it!" Li Jun slammed his fist hard. Now the importance of materials to the Northeast Security Army is self-evident. But if it's just this loss of materials, Li Jun doesn't care. After all, the Northeast is now a big business. This material is still lost. But what Li Jun is worried about is the consequences of this incident.

"Let the first brigade commander Qian Yansheng and political commissar Zhou Bo come to see me!" Li Jun's face was gloomy as water. This incident happened at a critical time, and if the Northeast does not react to this incident, I am afraid that such things will happen one after another in the future. This is absolutely intolerable to Li Jun.

The commander of the first brigade, Qian Yansheng, and the political commissar Zhou Bo, received Li Jun's order to quickly come to the headquarters. Now Zhang Xiaoshan has dispatched 25,000 men to the north to launch the Guyuan Campaign, but he did not take the most elite First Brigade of the Western Military Region with him. Instead, he stayed at the headquarters of the military region and was under the command of Li Jun. After all, the headquarters of the military region is facing the most powerful western army in the Ganning region. Although Li Jun judged that the Western Army had the possibility of surrendering, there was no definite news coming now, and no one could determine what the specific purpose of the Western Army's retreat was, and Zhang Xiaoshan could not take any risks. In order to ensure the safety of the headquarters of the military region, Zhang Xiaoshan left the most elite brigade behind. The Western Military Region is the earliest military region in Northeast China, and it has always had the title of elite, but Zhang Xiaoshan knows that only half of the troops in the Western Military Region can be regarded as the real elite of the army, and the remaining half are trained elites, and they have not undergone the baptism of a major war, and their combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan only brought one regiment to the north this time, which was an elite veteran who had experienced the battle array. Plus a brigade of cavalry units, the rest are recruits. Although there were 15,000 men in Guyuan Maqi, and they were cavalry, Zhang Xiaoshan was confident of victory. After all, the level of weaponry and firepower in the northeast is not comparable to that of the Ma Jiajun in the Ganning region.

Qian Yansheng is still relatively unfamiliar with Li Jun, and it can be said that the entire Western Military Region is relatively unfamiliar with Li Jun. After all, Li Jun did not personally command the operations of the Western Military Region. However, Li Jun's prestige is thunderous throughout the Western Military Region. In particular, the wars commanded by Li Jun can be said to have played a crucial role in the rise of the Northeast, coupled with his identity as a study tour and a young marshal's brother who worships his son, Li Jun is full of magic in the hearts of the soldiers of the entire Western Military Region. At the same time, the political commissar system of the Northeast Security Army made Feng Yong's status in the army more and more deified, so Li Jun, as a close partner and the most important assistant of the great leader Feng Yong, also had a high invisible prestige in the army. This prestige allowed Li Jun to command the troops of the Western Military Region without any stagnation.

"Report to the Chief of Staff, Qian Yansheng (Zhou Bo) is here to report!" As the first main force of the Western Military Region, the person who the young marshal has personally admired, Qian Yansheng has changed a lot during this time, although there is still a faint recklessness in his body, but his eyes are obviously much deeper than in the past. There is also an invisible calm temperament in the whole person.

Li Jun nodded, didn't say anything polite, and directly handed the information in his hand to Qian Yansheng.

"These damn bandits! Why did you choose to do it at this time? Chief of Staff, we must send troops to teach them a lesson, otherwise our future baggage transportation routes will be in danger. Qian Yan said angrily.

Li Jun nodded and said, "This is exactly the purpose of me looking for you two, although we have suffered heavy losses, but we also find out the origin of this gang of horse bandits." They came from the Loess Plateau and were horse bandits active on the border between Shaanxi and Ganning. There are quite a few people, thousands of them. Cavalry and infantry have it. The firepower is average, but as a land snake, the trail is difficult to grasp. In this case, if we want to ensure the safety of the baggage passage, we must completely remove this cancer. I hope that your brigade will be able to take up this important task! Li Jun's expression was a little solemn. Although there is an excuse for horse bandits to plunder the baggage of the Northeast, if the large army of the Northeast enters the Loess Plateau of Shaanxi, I am afraid that it will arouse the disgust of the local Beiyang forces and cause a major war. Before the Northeast did not take the Ganning region, there was no benefit in tearing up the face with Beiyang. But such a laissez-faire is not Li Jun's character. Therefore, this time, Li Jun fought back and fought back fiercely, so that the horse bandits who dared to take their beards could see the methods of the Northeast Security Army.

"Chief of Staff, don't worry! We're going to screw all the heads off of these bandits this time. If we dare to touch our materials in the Northeast, we must have the consciousness of losing our heads. Qian Yansheng said excitedly. After coming to the Ganning area for so long, their first brigade didn't even catch the war hair, which made Qian Yansheng, who was in a panic without fighting for a day, fed up. Zhang Xiaoshan went north this time to Guyuan and had the intention of training troops, and the most elite brigade was stayed. This made Qian Yansheng depressed for a long time. But he didn't dare to disobey Zhang Xiaoshan's order. But now it's okay, the chief of staff asked himself to go to the place where the Ganning region and Shaanxi meet to suppress bandits and protect the grain route. Although this task seems to be a little small, Qian Yansheng is not ambiguous at all. After all, the rise of the Northeast Security Army began with the suppression of bandits. Moreover, there may not be no big forces among the horse bandits, and the sparse population of the Northeast can give birth to big bandits who control more than 10,000 troops, not to mention the land of Guanzhong, which has a rich population. Therefore, Qian Yansheng has absolute reason to believe that there will definitely be a big war to be fought in this anti-bandit operation.

"Chief of Staff, but Shaanxi is the territory of Beiyang! Will our so many troops in the past arouse the hostility of Chen Shufan, the overseer of Shaanxi? After all, political commissar Zhou Bo is calmer than Qian Yansheng, and he looks at the problem much more profoundly.

"Our people are in the past, even if it is to suppress bandits, Chen Shufan will definitely not be willing. Chen Shufan is a person with a strong desire to control, judging from his actions in the past two years, he has long forgotten the revolutionary beliefs of the year and has become a local prince who asks thoroughly. In this way, those who regard Shaanxi as their own forbidden territory must maintain 100 percent hostility to foreign forces. But compared to Chen Shufan's hostility. It is even more important to protect the baggage passage. The young marshal's strategy to take the Ganning region cannot be missed. So, your characters are heavy. Li Jun said solemnly.

"Yes! The first brigade is guaranteed to complete the mission! Zhou Bo said firmly. Qian Yansheng saw that Zhou Bo did not raise any objections, and his heart was even happier, and after such a long time together, a deep relationship was established between the two. Although Zhou Bo was not capable of commanding the army, he did an excellent job as a political commissar, and Zhou Bo took care of the daily affairs of the first brigade. It can be said that the entire 1st Brigade has been able to maintain the name of the ace and has performed well in the military region's large-scale competitions many times, and Zhou Bo has a lot of credit. Therefore, in matters other than military command, Qian Yansheng will respect Zhou Bo's opinion.

"Since there is nothing wrong with the 1st Brigade, then without further ado, the 1st Brigade will set off in full gear. I don't want to see this kind of logistical robbery again. As he spoke, a murderous aura unconsciously appeared on Li Jun's face.

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Qian Yansheng and Zhou Bo assured solemnly. The two knew from Li Jun's order that the situation they faced this time was different from before, and the chief of staff wanted them to take charge alone. It's a challenge and an opportunity. Qian Yansheng has never doubted the courage of the young marshal to use people, as long as he can show the ability to be independent, the young marshal will definitely reuse himself. This made Qian Yansheng, who was bent on serving Feng Yong's death, very excited.

Li Jun nodded, Li Jun originally wanted to send a newly formed army to carry out this mission. But after careful consideration, it was decided to send the most elite 1st Brigade of the Western Military District. Moreover, Li Jun's instructions for the combat objectives of the First Brigade were very vague, and it can even be said that Li Jun did not have any restrictions on the First Brigade, as long as the First Brigade could ensure that there were no problems with the baggage in the Ganning area, Li Jun was too lazy to restrain them in how to fight. After all, Qian Yansheng is an old man who follows the young marshal, and he is a person who is valued by the young marshal, it is definitely worth believing, plus there is a mature and stable Zhou Bo next to him, Li Jun believes that the two partners will not have anything serious. But he didn't expect that his decision would bring another extremely powerful military region to the northeast. It also played a turning point in Feng Yong's future.

The 1st Brigade moved quickly and set off less than half an hour after the order was given. Li Jun didn't care about these things. After he informed Feng Yong in the northeast of his decision to send troops to Shaanxi to suppress bandits, he no longer paid attention to it, but paid full attention to the upcoming war in the Ganning area. He stood in front of a huge sand table, his eyes solemn at a low, hilly area. muttered to himself: "Now Xiaoshan should fight with Ma Jiajun!" Hopefully they can fight a good fight. ”
