Chapter 1217: The Eve (2)
The time for the general offensive of the Central Plains Campaign is about to begin, and all the officers and men of the participating units are ready to go. Before the general offensive of the campaign, the special operations brigade directly under the Central Plains Campaign Command had to set off in advance and go deep into the territory of Daming to carry out various special tasks.
At the base area of the Hetao Special Operations Brigade, a large number of airships were parked at the airfield, and bursts of engines were heard violently. Groups of officers and men of the special operations brigade stood next to the airship, ready to set off at any time.
Li Ming and Song Tao took time out of their busy schedules to personally rush to the special combat brigade to see off the special combat members who were about to go on the expedition. He shook hands with each officer and soldier and said words of encouragement to them.
After reviewing the troops, Li Ming came to the front of the troops, turned to Song Tao and said, "Let the troops go......
With Song Tao's order, the special combat members of each squad began to board the boat one after another, and one by one the airships slowly rose into the air, flying into the distance one after another, and disappeared into the dark night.
Li Ming turned to Wang Xiaojie and Liu Handong next to him and said, "This may be the last battle you will participate in, everyone must pay attention to safety." ”
Wang Xiaojie and Liu Handong all responded loudly, but their faces were full of loss. After all, they are already old, and their abilities in all aspects have significantly decreased. The special combat personnel are no different from other troops, and they definitely eat the rice of youth.
Even in modern society, special combat personnel seem to be beautiful, they are omnipotent in heaven and earth, and they are admired in all directions, but in fact they are really not a good profession. Not to mention that training and combat in peacetime are very dangerous, this profession has been working for a long time, and because of the special nature of the profession, very few people can continue to serve as senior commanders of the troops.
Therefore, their future is generally not very good, although they are the king of soldiers in the army, but they transfer jobs and return to the locality, and the direction of employment placement is very narrow. Skills on the battlefield, such as going to heaven and earth, killing people and setting fires, are almost useless when they return to the place, and once they are used, they may break the law.
And after training and fighting in an extremely complex environment all year round, you will be more or less left with a wound, these injuries do not feel good when you are young, but you have to find them back when you are old.
Wang Xiaojie and his veterans of the special combat team have always been in a transcendent position in the Military Commission, and they have made great contributions to the company during the founding period of the Far East Company.
But as they grow older, their physical fitness has long since lost what they used to be. They were accustomed to being casual in peacetime, and with the strict organizational discipline of the Far Eastern Army, it was difficult for them to show themselves in the regular troops, let alone become senior commanders.
Therefore, apart from Liu Baoguo and Zhang Yufei, the 20-odd special combat team members will have some future in the Central Military Commission in the future, and the main work of the remaining special combat team members is to train the next generation of special combat units and serve as commanders in special departments such as the Ministry of Intelligence and the Central Garrison Corps.
After the Central Plains Campaign, these first-generation special combat personnel will face a career change, which is undoubtedly a big loss for the special combat units of the Far Eastern Army.
Fortunately, after more than 10 years of training, the special operations units of the Far Eastern Army have also set up a shelf and trained a large number of qualified special combat personnel. These team members have gradually grown up, and although they cannot be compared with the older generation of special combat soldiers, they can also go to heaven and earth in this era.
Li Ming watched the airships gradually disappear into the night sky, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Unconsciously, these guys are also old, and the years are not forgiving." ”
Song Tao didn't feel emotion in his heart, after all, these veterans of the special combat team have always been his soldiers. With his temperament, he also preferred to go to the battlefield to perform various challenging tasks than to be a senior commander of the Far Eastern Army.
To be honest, if it weren't for Li Ming taking charge of the Far East in the future, this guy would definitely not be the commander of this Northwest Army. He has no ambitions, and the biggest possibility in the future is to spend the rest of his life on an island with a few beautiful girls.
The Far Eastern Army's soldiers pressed the border, which also made the Ming Nine Sides within the side wall rumorful. Whether it is the officials of the military towns or the heads of the soldiers from all walks of life, they are already in a panic.
Lu Xiangsheng frowned even more, and every day in his study, he either borrowed wine to kill his sorrows, or wiped his big knife over and over again.
Zhong Dahai stayed outside the study every day, looking at his own adult, of course, he was also very sad, so he looked forward to the news of the Far East Intelligence Department every day. He had made all the preparations and won over all the dozens of family members under Lu Xiangsheng.
Moreover, he and Lu Xiangsheng's family members also had secret contact with the generals at all levels of the Tianxiong Army, and established contact with them through various means. Although the Tianxiong Army was Lu Xiangsheng's starting team, at this time, no matter how loyal he was, he was unwilling to fight the powerful Far Eastern Army with an egg or a stone, which was no different from sending him to death.
Therefore, Zhong Dahai, with the help of the Far East Intelligence Station in Xuanfu, won over a large number of generals of the Tianxiong Army. The operation was also successful because the Far Eastern intelligence agents met with them separately and made a promise not to harm Lu Xiangsheng.
Since their own adults will not be harmed, of course, the generals of the Xiong Army have no scruples these days. It doesn't matter who sits in this world, as for those who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty or something, they don't care about their.
The day before the Battle of the Central Plains, Zhong Dahai's door was knocked, he opened the door to see, and found a family member standing outside the door with a solemn face, Zhong Dahai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there a letter from there?" The man nodded, and then handed Zhong Dahai a bamboo tube.
Zhong Dahai took the bamboo tube and unscrewed it, took out a piece of paper from it, and unfolded it and looked at it for a while. Then he put the paper back in his arms and walked out of the house with excitement on his face.
At midnight, Lu Xiangsheng once again borrowed wine to kill his sorrows today, so he slept very deeply. Zhong Dahai waved his hand to a group of housekeepers guarding the courtyard, and then laid various luminous signs in the courtyard, and then quietly waited for the arrival of the special operations unit of the Far Eastern Army.
"Buzz...... Buzz ......"
There was a buzzing sound, and Zhong Dahai, who was waiting anxiously in the courtyard, suddenly stared at his eyes, ran to the center of the courtyard in a few steps, and looked up at the dark night sky.
After a while, a huge airship slowly descended, hovering in the courtyard of Lu Mansion like a mountain. Dozens of Lu Xiangsheng's personal soldiers in the courtyard had seen such a shocking scene, and they were all stunned by this behemoth hanging above their heads.
"What are you doing in a daze, the people from the Far East are here......"
With Zhong Dahai's shout, dozens of Lu Xiangsheng's family members reacted, lit the torches in their hands respectively, and then ignited several bonfires in the courtyard.
