After receiving the reply from the Northeast Theater Command, the Qingdao military group again conducted a serious discussion, and also believed that its previous understanding of the situation was indeed somewhat insufficient, and it only noticed the enemy's disadvantages, but did not fully consider the difficulties encountered by the People's Army.

However, according to the Northeast Theater Command's proposal to rest for 15 days before launching an attack on Shenyang, it is not the best choice, because the Russian army will definitely increase troops to Shenyang, although the efficiency of the Russian army is low, but now it is close to the success or failure of the Russian army, and there are 15 days, so the Russian army will definitely use it and try its best to improve efficiency, after all, there is a railway connection from Harbin to Shenyang, theoretically speaking, even if the troops are transferred from Harbin to Shenyang, it will only take one day to arrive, and the Russian army will definitely step up the construction of Shenyang's fortifications。 At that time, if you attack Shenyang, you will fight hard with the superior strength of the Russian army and the strong position, although the People's Army has several sharp weapons for attacking fortifications, but even if you can capture Shenyang, you will definitely pay a large price for casualties, which is obviously not cost-effective.

Therefore, the Central Military Commission reformulated a new operational plan, and in the new plan, the plan of the sneak attack on Vladivostok was once again mentioned before attacking Shenyang, and the strategic purpose of the sneak attack on Vladivostok was no longer only to mobilize the Russian army and cooperate with the People's Army's attack on Shenyang, but also to evade the second battlefield and form a two-way flank attack on the Russian army, and finally realize the two armies meeting in Harbin to recover the three northeastern provinces in one fell swoop, as well as Vladivostok, Shuangchengzi, Boli and other regions. And then negotiate with Russia on the basis of this result.

Of course, in this way, it is necessary to rearrange the planning, troop allocation, and material deployment.

First of all, the plan to attack Shenyang was postponed, and in a short period of time, the Russian army was not capable of launching an attack on the People's Army, and in addition, the preparations for a sneak attack on Vladivostok could not be completed in a short time.

On the one hand, because in the previous stage of the battle, some middle and lower-ranking officers of the People's Army were killed, and it is necessary to have new military officers to supplement them to ensure the normal establishment of the People's Army, which is also one of the ways to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops.

On the other hand, it is to take the opportunity of commendation to provide encouragement and assistance to the whole army. Rewarding meritorious service and punishing meritorious personnel is the basic condition of an excellent army, and through openly commending meritorious personnel, it not only ensures the fairness of the army, but also stimulates the sense of honor and ambition of other officers to make meritorious contributions, so that they can fight harder and establish meritorious deeds in future battles.

At the same time, it is also possible to consider sending some of the meritorious personnel to Qingdao for public commendations and awards, or even to accept news interviews, or for Qingdao to organize a condolence group with the participation of personnel from all quarters, and for high-ranking personnel of the East China Government to personally lead a team to the front line to pay respects to the troops, confer decorations, and present awards; these are all ways to boost the morale of the army and strengthen the publicity of the achievements of the East China Government.

Although it was decided to extend the recuperation period, and before the attack on Vladivostok, the KPA basically did not take the initiative to attack the Russian army, but the garrison work could not be relaxed. At present, the People's Army has two defensive lines in the eastern Liaodong region: one is on the Liaoyang line, which advances to the Shili River area to guard against the Russian army, and the other is on the Yalu River line, which is arranged along the Yalu River to guard against the Japanese army.

The distribution arrangement of the two defense lines is that the troops remaining on the front line of Liaoyang are still the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th armies, and about 20,000 troops will be transferred from the 12 reserve regiments trained in Qingdao to supplement the personnel losses of the three armies.

After all, the Russian army, which still has a large number of troops, is still the primary enemy of the People's Army, and once the plan to attack Vladivostok is successful, then a new war in the Liaodong region will be launched from here, so it is necessary to maintain a large number of troops on the Liaoyang front. The other is to take advantage of the recuperation period to strengthen the defense of the Liaoyang front line and build a solid and perfect fortification to prevent the attack of the Russian army.

The first line of the Yalu River was handed over to the 5th Army to guard, the Japanese army was heavily damaged by the People's Army on the side of the Yalu River, and the rest was driven to the Korean Peninsula, but there were about 13 or 40,000 wounded soldiers, and if they rested for 1 or 2 months, most of the wounded soldiers could be healed and returned to the team, and it was not difficult to make up at least 100,000 troops, and there were about 200,000 logistics personnel who withdrew to the Korean Peninsula with the Japanese army, and the Japanese army could also recruit troops from the Koreans, so the source of new recruits for the Japanese army was still quite sufficient.

However, there were two factors restricting the expansion of the number of Japanese troops, one was the training time, and the other was weapons and ammunition, which was the latter. Although during the retreat, the Japanese army transported a large amount of military supplies to the Korean Peninsula, and had previously accumulated a lot of supplies on the Korean Peninsula, so that most of the materials could be collected on the Korean Peninsula, but weapons and ammunition could only be transported from the Japanese mainland. However, under the current situation that the People's Army has the right to control the sea, it is simply an impossible task to transport weapons and ammunition from Japan to the Korean Peninsula in large quantities, so the Central Military Commission estimates that the upper limit of the Japanese army is 150,000, and it is useless to have more, so it can only be sent to the head.

Although the total strength of the 5th Army was about 65,000, it had the Yalu River as a barrier and could build a defensive line along the Yalu River, and the People's Army also had an inland river fleet to support it, so it was completely enough to resist the Japanese counterattack, if the Japanese army really wanted to intervene in the Liaodong battlefield. Of course, the task of the 5th Army was not only to hold the defense line of the Yalu River, but also to manage Lushun, Jinzhou and other areas. However, now that the Japanese navy has suffered heavy losses, and the Russian navy has been completely destroyed, the threat to Arthur and other areas is not great, and there is no need to garrison too many troops, as long as one division can maintain stability in this area.

Then there's the problem of shells. After all, the development time of the East China government is too short, the industrial base is weak, the scale is insufficient, and the production capacity of weapons and ammunition is limited. Before the start of the war, after more than two years of accumulation, it was able to accumulate more than 300,000 rounds of artillery shells, and more than 200,000 rounds had been put into the battlefield in the early stage, and now the East China government's artillery shell production capacity is about 35,000 rounds per month, and in the short term, the production capacity cannot be greatly increased, which is also one of the important reasons why the People's Army must stop fighting for two or three months.

Of course, the supply of the front line still needs to be satisfied, and the Military Commission decided to transport 50,000 shells to Liaodong first, at least to ensure that it can fight a battle, and in the future battles, we will only slowly think of a way.

However, in terms of ammunition supply, the Japanese and Russian armies are actually not stronger than the people's army; although the industrial scale and production capacity of Japan and Russia are far superior to those of the East China government, Japan is constrained by the fact that it has no sea supremacy, and although it has empty ammunition, it is useless to not be able to transport it; while Russia's industry is all concentrated in Europe, and the distance from the Far East is 8 or 9,000 kilometers, and the Trans-Siberian Railway has not yet been completed, coupled with Russia's low efficiency, so the Russian army is also facing the dilemma of insufficient ammunition supply. Looking at the lack of ammunition supply in this way, the impact on the KPA is not fatal.

At present, the 5th Army still has 2 divisions remaining in Qingdao, and of course they will all be transferred to Liaodong to gather and carry out tasks, while the garrison of Qingdao will be changed to the 1st Army.

Both the 1st Army and the Marines will withdraw to Qingdao, and the future attack on Vladivostok will be the responsibility of these two armies. Since it is a marine, it will be expanded into 2 divisions and 3 regiments after its return, with a total strength of about 40,000 troops, so Luo Yue no longer has to hang the name of commander, but in fact he only does the work of a division commander.

The operation to capture Vladivostok was initially scheduled to take place two months later, that is, at the end of August and early September, because it would take time to allow a certain amount of time for the production and accumulation of ammunition, and second, it would take time to complete the organization of the operation.

Due to the increased importance of the attack on Vladivostok, in the past, only the Marine Corps alone completed, and after the capture of Vladivostok, the scale of the war will not be expanded, but now the number of troops participating in the war, the scale of the war has increased significantly, so the required ships, logistics support, auxiliary personnel and subsequent material supplies need to be calculated, arranged, and prepared in detail. It also had to be reworked after the attack on Vladivostok, which naturally required a lot of time.

Knowing that the People's Army did not plan to attack Shenyang, but was digging trenches and building fortresses, and planned to defend for a long time, Linnevich also breathed a sigh of relief, because now the available troops under his command are only about 150,000, and the structure is incomplete, most of the troops have been reduced by more than 3 percent, and some troops have even reached 5 percent. Of course, it is impossible for Linnevich to know that now the KPA is actually at the end of its power.

Although he was able to breathe a sigh of relief, Linnevich did not dare to be careless, the Bijing People's Army was close at hand, and it could attack Shenyang at any time, so Linnevich reorganized the army, merged the merger, and canceled the cancellation, and on the other hand, ordered them to send three divisions to Shenyang within three days to reinforce, otherwise they would be dealt with by military law. Then he ordered the construction of position fortifications outside the city of Shenyang, and the number of Russian troops was not enough, so the residents of the city were forced to go out of the city to work.

In this way, the People's Army and the Russian army officially entered a state of confrontation in the area from Liaoyang to Shenyang, and the war came to an end.
