Chapter 532 The Second Battle of the Yalu River (3)

Of course Luo Yue didn't know that there were so many complicated backgrounds for the transfer of the Military Commission to return, but since the transfer order of the Military Commission was coming, he just needed to follow the order.

Of course, Luo Yue was transferred from the Far East War Zone, but his position as commander of the Far East War Zone was not revoked. This is because the Far East War Zone made great contributions in this battle against Russia. Luo Yue naturally made an indelible contribution as the commander. When he was about to win a comprehensive victory, he transferred Luo Yue from the Far East War Zone. Although it was indeed a war requirement, it was a bit unfair to Luo Yue personally and could not win the honor of comprehensive victory. His successor was inevitably suspected of picking peaches. Although Luo Yue could not care about it, this opening could not be opened. Therefore, Luo Yue's position as commander of the Far East War Zone was retained. In the famous discussion, he was still the highest person in charge of the Far East War Zone, so the honor of the Far East War Zone would also be Luo Yue. In this way, the commander of the 1st Army, who was responsible for the main work of the Far East War Zone, could only act as the commander as the deputy commander of the Far East War Zone.

So Luo Yue immediately recruited the command members of the Far East War Zone to hand over the affairs in his hands. Now the focus of the Far East War Zone has completely shifted from Vladivostok to Harbin. Moreover, the People's Army is now speeding up the repair of the part of the Sino-East Railway's joint line that was damaged by the early war. At the same time, it is also building a railway line bypassing Shenyang. It is expected that it will take about two months. Once the railway line is completed, the materials from Lushun can reach Harbin through the railway, so that the sea transportation function of Vladivostok can be greatly weakened.

At present, the distribution of troops in the Far East War Zone is that the 1st Division of the 1st Army is stationed in Changchun and assisted the Northeast War Zone to siege Shenyang. The 6th Division of the 1st Army, the 1st Marine Division of the 1st Marine Division, the 2nd Marine Division, and two reserve regiments are stationed in Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi area. The two reserve regiments of the 1st Army are stationed at stations along the railway from Harbin to Suifenhe, and from Harbin to Changchun. Now, the 1st Marine Division is going to withdraw to Qingdao with Luo Yue, so there is only one division in Harbin, but there are also armored trains and cavalry regiments. The number of Russian troops stationed in Manzhouli is not large. After the reorganization of Linnevic, there are a total of 1 division and 2 brigades. Such a force is obviously not enough to counterattack Harbin.

A new problem facing the Far East War Zone is that bandits are rampant, and they frequently attacked villages, towns and railway stations during this period. In fact, the bandit problem is also an old problem in the Northeast. Because the Northeast region is vast and sparsely populated, high mountains and dense forests, and the people are brave, it is born to be a paradise for bandits to survive. In the old time and space, well-known Northeast bandits such as Zhang Zuolin, Feng Linge, Du Lisan, Jin Shoushan and others all rose in this era.

To be honest, the People's Army has no way to deal with bandits now. The main reason is that they lack energy. The war has not yet ended completely, so it is impossible to transfer their energy to clearing out bandits. In addition, the foundation in the newly occupied areas is not solid and the people cannot be mobilized. Therefore, we can only adopt the strategy of protecting big cities and railway stations. We can station an army in each railway station. Since the bandits' firepower is not strong, most of them use single-shot rifles, and some are old-fashioned flintlock rifles. The firepower of a company of the People's Army is enough to overwhelm 1,000 bandits. Ensuring the smoothness of the railway line and the safety of big cities can ensure the communication and material circulation between several big cities. Bandits in other places can only let it go.

After explaining the matter, Luo Yue brought his own guard company and the artillery of the entire division and other heavy equipment, boarded the train, returned to Vladivostok, and returned to Qingdao by sea. Other troops of the 1st Marine Division headed south from Harbin train to Lushun, and then arrived at Qingdao by sea. This way, it was divided into two routes to return to Qingdao, mainly because the railway transportation volume was limited, because both the Harbin-Da Line and the Binsui Line have not been completely repaired and all need to transfer the train in the middle, but in comparison, Binsui Line The situation of the line is better. Only one section of the railway is being repaired, with a distance of about 10 kilometers. In addition to the restoration section of the Harbin-Da Line, there is also the Chenyang section detour railway that has not been completed. At least 30 kilometers of sections do not have railways. In this way, heavy equipment is naturally the Binsui Line. It is most convenient to return to Qingdao via Vladivostok. When Luo Yue wants to take Vladivostok waterway, he mainly has to go to Vladivostok to check out. After all, he is also the highest person in charge of the Far East War Zone, so he naturally needs to understand his jurisdiction.

Luo Yue has his own special carriage on the train, a dedicated lounge, office, conference room and other independent spaces, so he doesn't have to squeeze with other soldiers. He also has plenty of time on the train to systematically organize and summarize the wars in the Far East War Zone, and later as a demonstration of war examples. Luo Yue has received an order from the Military Commission, requiring him to record the wars in the Far East War Zone in detail. However, Luo Yue had too many things and was too busy before, so he could only collect as much information as possible. All the information was divided into two copies, one for archives of the Far East War Zone, and one copy was kept by Luo Yue himself for summary use. He was finally idle on the train, and Luo Yue could also start doing these tasks.

When the train arrived at Pingshan Railway Station, the railway here was under maintenance and needed to change the train to continue moving forward. Although the train that needed to be replaced had been prepared, it only took about 10 kilometers to walk to board the new train. Therefore, Luo Yue also got off the train and walked with the soldiers.

Along the way, you can see a large number of railway workers under emergency construction, as well as the "ding-ding-dang" knocking sounds. There are many soldiers guarding with guns around. At this time, Liu Xi'an, the project manager responsible for maintaining the railway, and Zhou Zixing, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Reserve Regiment, had received an order to meet Luo Yue.

Luo Yue said a few words to encourage them and asked a few briefly about the project situation. The Russian army destroyed a total of 3 railway stations. After the efforts of the construction team, the two railway stations and railways have been repaired. It can be said that most of the restoration work has been completed, and it will take about 10-15 days to complete. However, the biggest difficulty facing construction is the attack of bandits. At this time, the construction team has been attacked by two bandits, killing 16 workers and injured another 34 workers. Therefore, the protection of the construction team has been strengthened, from one company to two companies, and patrolling the periphery of the construction site has been strengthened. It has successfully repelled a bandit attack and killed 37 bandits.

Originally this was just a regular report, but Luo Yue heard the problem and immediately asked about the time of these three attacks. Sure enough, the farthest time was 11 days ago, and the most recent time was 3 days ago. It can be said that this frequency is too dense. Because the behavior of the bandits of Kazakhs is usually mainly about looting food, materials, and money. Of course, the weaker the target of the robbers, the better. However, although the railway construction team has some food and supplies, there is not much money, and there is no money at all, mainly railway tracks, sleepers, and gravel. The bandits insist on attacking the construction team in such a way, obviously not to rob food, materials, and money. This is a bit intriguing. However, no bandit was caught in the previous few battles, and I don’t know what the real purpose of the bandit is? Is there anyone behind it?

Just as Luo Yue was thinking, gunfire suddenly sounded from the northwest direction. Zhou Zixing's face changed and he hurriedly said goodbye to Luo Yue and rushed to command the battle. The workers also put down their work and returned to the camp to hide. There were troops stationed in the camp. Luo Yue did not stop him, but just asked him to catch a few livestock. Because Luo Yue's team had a large number of heavy weapons, it would take a considerable time to convert all to the new train, and he could wait until the end of the war. Luo Yue's guard immediately alerted the surrounding area to defend Luo Yue's safety.

After a while, gunfire suddenly increased from the northwest direction. It was obvious that the People's Army had a fire with the bandits. However, Luo Yue was not worried. He still had full confidence in the combat effectiveness of the People's Army.

But at this moment, someone from the guard battalion came to report that bandits were also found in the southwest, with about 100 people. They had already handed over the fire with the guard battalion's guard battalion's guard battalion's guard battalion, but there was only one squad of the guard battalion, so they sent people back to request reinforcements.

Luo Yue was also a little surprised when he heard this. This group of bandits would even use the trick of fighting the world. If they hadn't happened to meet his own troops, it was really done. It seemed that Zhou Zixing was still a little careless. Although the workers returned to the camp at this time and there were soldiers guarding the camp, they could still cause certain casualties to the workers when the bandits attacked the camp. And the bandits were obviously very informative in attacking the railway construction team like this.

Although he thought so in his heart, Luo Yue immediately ordered a platoon to first send reinforcements and a company to surround the bandits' retreat from both sides, striving to capture as many bandits as possible.

The guard battalion is not only composed of elite troops, but also has the best weapon assembly, and there are not many bandits along the way. Therefore, there is no suspense in this battle. It only took more than 20 minutes, of which about 15 minutes was the time for the People's Army to encircle. The actual battle only took 6 or 7 minutes, killing 41 bandits and capturing 54 people, while the People's Army had no casualties.
