Chapter 518: The Battle of the Muling River (14)

After receiving the news of the victory on the battlefield on the southern front, Luo Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief, from the time when the People's Army sent troops to meet the Russian army, Luo Yue's mind was highly nervous, because this was the first time that the People's Army fought without clear intelligence support, and it was impossible for Luo Yue not to be nervous.

Although at the beginning of the war, the KPA won victories on both the northern and southern fronts, Luo Yue's mood did not relax much, because these victories did not ensure the final victory of the KPA. Since it was after the People's Army sent troops to capture the Mulinghe Railway Station, the two sides entered the decisive moment, and the battle situation became extremely complicated, so Luo Yue paid more attention to the development of the war, and simply lived in the command headquarters, so that he could check the map and understand the progress of the war after receiving the news at any time, and record the establishment and number of the Russian army in detail, which was also conducive to Luo Yue's more clear judgment of the situation on the battlefield. By this time, Luo Yue had not closed his eyes and rested for two days and one night, but fortunately, Luo Yue was not yet 30 years old, he was young, and he could still hold on.

Now that the People's Army has completely defeated the Russian army on the southern front, thus laying the foundation for the victory of this battle, a big stone in Luo Yue's heart has finally landed, and he can finally rest assured. Although at this time, a staff officer came to persuade Luo Yue to take a rest, after all, now that the victory is decided, he can relax. However, Luo Yue thought about it, but still rejected the kindness of the staff officer, and after washing his face with cold water, he stood in front of the map again to study the next combat plan.

Although the People's Army won the victory on the southern front, there is still a stalemate between the Mulinghe Railway Station battlefield and the northern front, and there is no result. Of course, now that the People's Army has won the victory on the southern front, it can free up 3 divisions to support other battlefields, so the overall situation will not change, and Luo Yue hopes to annihilate the Russian troops on other battlefields as much as possible in the later battles, rather than letting the Russian troops on other battlefields escape, so as to maximize the victory of the People's Army. The more Russian troops the KPA annihilates in this war, the more beneficial it will be for the subsequent wars. And this requires careful arrangement and arrangement of the existing army.

Luo Yue looked at the map, thought for a while, and then made a decision, let the warrior convoy and cavalry regiment immediately rush to join the 1st Marine Division, and then cross the Muling River overnight and capture the Beilin Railway Station, which can completely cut off the retreat of the Russian army, and the 1st and 6th divisions of the 1st Army will arrive early the next morning to support the other two battlefields, once the Russian army retreats, the 1st Marine Division will immediately intercept it, and the Russian troops in these two battlefields must not be allowed to escape.

After the staff officers discussed it, they all thought that Luo Yue's plan was feasible, but some people suggested that the People's Army on the southern front had just fought a fierce battle, and they would immediately enter the next battle, and the 1st and 6th Divisions of the 1st Army would be better, and Bi Jing could rest for the night, but the 1st Marine Division was attacking overnight, and whether the soldiers' physical strength could support it, it was suggested that the 1st Marine Division should also rest for the night and attack again early tomorrow morning.

However, Luo Yue believes that the Marine Corps is a strictly trained army, and it has the ability to fight continuously in this way, not to mention that so far, the combat intensity of the People's Army is not large, and it has not yet reached the limit, and the news of the defeat of the Russian army on the southern front will definitely reach the Russian troops in other battlefields tonight, so it is very likely that the Russian army will withdraw overnight, and wait until tomorrow morning to attack again, I am afraid it will be too late.

When the staff officers saw Luo Yue say this, they had no objections, but only discussed some details to further improve Luo Yue's plan.

After receiving Luo Yue's order, the 1st Marine Division only rested for about 2 hours, waiting for the warrior convoy and cavalry regiment to come and join him, and then began to cross the Muling River.

The Muling River is not a big river, the width of the river is about 100 meters, the depth is not more than 2 meters, the water flow is also very gentle, and the general personnel, horses, and vehicles can directly wade across the river on foot. An hour later, the KPA had all crossed the Muling River, then regrouped and advanced to the Beilin railway station.

At this time, it was about 7 o'clock in the evening, and the sky was completely dark, but fortunately, the People's Army was marching along the railway, and it was not afraid to go in the wrong direction. After another 3-hour march, the People's Army finally arrived at the Beilin Railway Station.

The Russian army stationed at Beilin Station is the remaining unit of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, because Beilin Station is far away from the battlefield, and the news of the defeat of the Russian army on the southern front has not yet reached Beilin Station, so the Russian army's garrison is also very lax, and now it is late at night, and the Russian army has not found that the People's Army has approached Beilin Station, and most of the Russian soldiers are sleeping at this time.

Therefore, the People's Army immediately dispatched troops to encircle Beilin Station on all sides, and then attacked together to launch an attack on Beilin Station. At this time, the Russian army realized the attack of the People's Army, but it was too late, and the Russian army was not good at such foot combat with cavalry, so the People's Army almost did not encounter much strong resistance, and attacked Beilin Station, and quickly took control of the entire Beilin Station. Only a small part of the Russian army was killed, and the rest, along with all the horses, became prisoners of the KPA.

The 1st Marine Division was also very happy, but when they were about to rest, they received news from Mulingjiang Station that the Russian army attacking Mulingjiang Station on the Western Front had withdrawn from the battlefield and withdrew to Beilin.

It turned out that Major General Glinsky, commander of the 1st Brigade of the 35th Division of the Russian Army, who was commanding the attack on the Mulingjiang railway station on the Western Front, received the news of the defeat of the Russian army on the Southern Front at about 6 o'clock on the same day. Glinsky knew that the Russian army had already withdrawn and lost the chance to win, and the People's Army on the southern front would definitely reinforce other battlefields, and the Mulingjiang railway station was only 15 or 6 kilometers away from the battlefield on the southern front, and if the march was faster, it would take only 1 hour, so if you wait until tomorrow morning to retreat, I am afraid that it will be too late. You have to retreat overnight. So Glinsky immediately ordered the whole army to withdraw to Beilin Station overnight.

However, the retreat of the army is not a matter of leaving and leaving, although the Russian army that commanded the attack on the Mulingjiang railway station on the Western Front actually had only one regiment and one battalion, but it took more than 2 hours to clean up, prepare, and pack up, and the Russian army did not set off until nearly 9 o'clock. As soon as the Russian army moved, it was immediately discovered by the People's Army guarding the Mulingjiang station, and after observation, it was finally confirmed that the Russian army was about to retreat, so it was hurriedly notified to the 1st Marine Division. In fact, there was only 1-2 hours before and after, and the KPA took the lead and occupied Beilin Station.

Although the KPA was indeed very tired at this time, when they learned that the Russian army was going to withdraw, they still cheered up and prepared for battle.

When the Russian army returned to Beilin Station, it was close to 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the Russian army also fought a day during the day, and rushed 30 kilometers at night. For example, the Russian army sent people to the railway station to report before retreating, but there was no response, and no one came out to respond. Of course, no one would have thought that the People's Army would immediately go out and capture Beilin Station after winning the victory on the southern front.

Just when the Russian army vaguely saw the Beilin Station in front of them, suddenly the light in front of them was bright, and the soldiers in front of them couldn't even open their eyes, it turned out that 9 warrior cars lined up in front of the Russian army, and then turned on the high beams in front of the car together, the Russian army was defenseless, and suddenly many soldiers appeared "light blindness". Before the Russian army could react, the machine guns in front of the 9 warrior vehicles and the general-purpose machine guns arranged next to the warrior vehicles all opened fire together, firing fiercely at the Russian army.

The Russian army was suddenly beaten with countless casualties, and the sound of screams was endless, the soldiers in front ran back, and the soldiers in the back didn't understand what was going on, and as a result, the personnel collided with each other, crowded, and pushed, and suddenly became chaotic.

And then the left and right of the Russian army also sounded gunshots, originally the Russian army was marching along the railway line, shaped like a long snake, just now the front was attacked, the team has not been in chaos, but this time the entire team is under firepower, more casualties, the whole team is also in chaos. And the soldiers of the Russian army had almost nowhere to hide, so they had to fall to the ground one after another, and as for whether they could dodge the blow of fire, they had to resign themselves to fate.

But at this moment, the gunfire stopped for a while, and countless KPA fighters killed from the left and right, holding rifles with bayonets on them, and launched a charge against the Russian army. Although many Russian soldiers hurriedly got up from the ground and raised their guns to meet the battle, most of them did not have time to put on their bayonets and could only go into battle with the barrel of their guns, so they naturally suffered a lot of losses.

Although the People's Army is indeed very tired, the Russian army is actually not much better, not to mention that after the People's Army occupied Beilin Station, it also rested for more than one hour, and somewhat relieved its physical strength, which is still stronger than the Russian army that has just arrived far away; moreover, the People's Army has set up an ambush in advance and is fully prepared, but the Russian army is in a hurry to meet the battle without any rules; in addition, the number of Russian soldiers is not as good as that of the People's Army, and after being attacked by the People's Army's firepower just now, it has suffered a lot of casualties, and the result is that the gap is even greater, so after these several factors, the Russian army is not the opponent of the People's Army at all, and the People's Army has divided the Russian army into more than ten sections when it charges down, and then encircle and break the Russian army one by one.

The whole battle lasted less than an hour before it ended, and the KPA won the battle, of course, because it was a night battle, so a considerable part of the Russian army fled at night, but this did not affect the overall situation. The People's Army has consolidated the occupation of Beilin Station and annihilated another group of Russian troops, which is one step closer to the goal of completely annihilating the Russian army.
