At around 6 a.m., the 2nd Marine Division and the 2nd Reserve Regiment of the 1st Army also arrived at Mulinghe Railway Station one after another. The 2nd Marine Division only rested at the railway station for an hour, ate some dry food, and then set off immediately and continued to drive to Muling Town; the 2nd Regiment replaced the 1st Regiment and then arranged positions around the railway station.

The cavalry regiments were all stationed in the railway station and sent small groups to patrol the surrounding areas of the railway station, including Muling Town, Shichangling and other areas. On the one hand, they were also familiar with the surrounding environment, roads, terrain, etc., which were of great help to future operations.

At around 9 a.m., a train arrived at Mulinghe Railway Station and unloaded a large number of weapons, ammunition, military supplies, as well as some logistics personnel. It can be said that only then did the People's Army completely control Mulinghe Railway Station and won the initiative for the next step of war.

After Luo Yue received the results, he was very happy and immediately ordered the troops to act as planned immediately. At the same time, he pulled out a regiment to protect the safety of the railway line from Suifenhe to Mulinghe.

Although this section of railway is now under the control of the People's Army, since the war has not yet ended, the Russian army's small army is easy to enter and destroy the railway. Now the People's Army's troops are mobilized and material transportation is largely dependent on this railway, so the absolute safety of this railway line must be ensured. Luo Yue did not hesitate to use another regiment to protect the railway, leaving only one regiment in the People's Army's reserve team.

Lieutenant General Volkov, the commander of the Russian army, received news that the Muling River Railway Station was lost at around 1 pm. Because the Russian army does not have as advanced communication equipment as the People's Army, telegraphs must also rely on telegraph lines. Of course, there are telegraph lines at the railway station, but after the People's Army occupied the Muling River Railway Station, it naturally would not send telegraph notifications to the Russian army. Moreover, since the personnel and guardians at the Muling River Railway Station were captured by the People's Army, no one sent the news back.

As a result, the Russian army sent telegrams to Mulinghe Railway Station several times without responding, so they found that something was wrong. So they hurriedly opened the telegram line near the railway station and mobilized scouts to reconnaissance. This retorted the trouble. As a result, it was delayed for nearly 10 hours before they learned about the loss of Mulinghe Railway Station.

When Volkov received the news, he stayed for a long time and couldn't speak, because he had never expected that the People's Army would capture the Muling River Railway Station at this time.

At this time, Volkov had certainly known that the Russian army had suffered losses on both the north and south lines. The northern line lost a regiment and a brigade on the southern line. Although such losses would not hurt the bones compared to the Russian army's strength, it would undoubtedly have a great impact on the morale of the army. After all, the morale of the Russian army was not very high before sending troops. But in Volkov's view, after the People's Army won both the north and south lines, it naturally had to take advantage of the victory. Why did it suddenly occupy the Muling River Railway Station? Volkov certainly dare not underestimate the People's Army. He also dispatched the ace of the armored train. It must be reasonable for the People's Army to do this, but what is the reason? Volkov could not think of it even if he wanted to break his head.

This is not because Volkov's IQ is insufficient or his military quality is insufficient, but because the Russian army has not received enough intelligence information, so naturally there is no way to judge. Compared with the People's Army, the Russian army is not only behind communication technology, but also reconnaissance methods. Not to mention drones, there is not even propeller fixed-wing aircraft. In the old time and space, the use of propeller fixed-wing aircraft was still in the Italian-Turkey War 6 years later.

Now the Russian army's reconnaissance methods are basically completed by people, which is almost no different from the cold weapons era hundreds of years ago. At most, it is to equip the scouts with telescopes. Of course, it is not just Russia. In fact, other countries in this era are the same. The only difference lies in the training quality and ability of the scouts.

Before going to war, Luo Yue had a headache about insufficient intelligence, and in the end he was somewhat biting the bullet and sending troops. In fact, the Russian army was even more out of the way. However, Russia's foreign wars were relatively good, so he was more accustomed to fighting in such insufficient intelligence. To be honest, the Russian army has not even figured out how many troops the People's Army has. He only knew that the People's Army had invested two divisions on the north and south lines, and there were also an armored train and several reserve teams. However, he was not sure how many reserve teams were, so he naturally did not know the People's Army's combat plan. He could only wait for further intelligence information to be sent to confirm.

Of course, Volkov has received formal military education and has been in the army for many years, so he can understand some clues. First of all, since the People's Army has dispatched armored trains, it is naturally necessary to do a big battle. It is very likely that the armored trains will be the core to form an army, advance west along the railway line, and directly attack the Mudanjiang Railway Station, and destroy the Russian army's general command. After losing the general command, the Russian army on the north and south lines will inevitably be in chaos and lose logistics and support. Therefore, the People's Army has a high chance of winning this battle.

However, if this is the People's Army's combat plan, Volkov could breathe a sigh of relief. Although he also admitted that armored trains are a powerful weapon, they are not absolutely invincible. The Achilles ankle of armored trains can only fight based on railways. Therefore, as long as the railway is destroyed, armored trains will have no place to use their power.

Of course, this is not the only one of the early tactical choices of the people. Muling River Railway Station is located at the middle point of the north and south combat. Therefore, it is very likely that the People's Army will seize this place to cut off the connection between the Russian army's north and south lines. Then the People's Army will target the Russian army on the front line, but which line will the People's Army take the Russian army as the target of the attack? This requires corresponding intelligence to determine, and Volkov is powerless. What he can do now is to send people to arrange the railway along the Muling River to Mudanjiang. If the armored train comes, it will blow up the railway.

Until dusk, Volkov found two worthwhile pieces of information from dozens of information received. One was that a large number of people's army was found moving south on the northern line, while the Russian army abandoned two peripheral positions at Shichangling and the Russian army. The other was that a large number of people's army were stationed on the south side of Muling's east mountain, and the position was set up.

At this time, Volkov was finally able to confirm that the target of the People's Army was the Russian army on the southern side of the Muling Mountains. The People's Army stationed on the south side of Muling Mountain was transferred from the northern line to cut off the Russian army's retreat. After the People's Army occupied the Muling River Railway Station, the range of armored trains could include both north and south battlefields. Therefore, it has to be said that the tactical concept of the People's Army was indeed very clever.

Of course, it is not difficult to solve the combat plan of the People's Army. The Guanjian point is the Mulinghe Railway Station. As long as the Russian army regains control of the Mulinghe Railway Station, it can reconnect the battlefields on the north and south sides, and resolve the attack of the People's Army through the optimization of troops.

But from there, the army was drawn to retake Mulinghe Railway Station? Now there is only one cavalry brigade and railway guard team in Mudanjiang, and then its own guard forces. The cavalry brigade cannot be used as a tough attack, but can only be used as an auxiliary. The railway guard team actually only has one battalion of troops, and its own guard forces cannot move. I ask Harbin to send more troops, not to mention whether Harbin can still squeeze out the army now. Even if there is one, it will take at least 2 or 3 days to concentrate the army, prepare, and set off to arrive at Mulinghe Railway Station. By then, it may be too late. Therefore, the troops can only be drawn from the front line.

Volkov thought about it and now there was only the Northern Line to mobilize troops, because the People's Army drew troops from the Northern Line to fight on the Southern Line. Although I don't know how many troops the club has, at least it will not be less than two regiments. Even if it is a division, it is impossible to block the Russian army on the Southern Line. In this way, the pressure on the Northern Line of the Russian army was greatly reduced, and of course, it can draw some of the troops to attack the Mulinghe Railway Station.

After understanding these situations, Volkotian also issued an order, first ordering the 35th Division from the North Line to attack Mulinghe Railway Station.

The 35th Division was originally Volkov's army, and the division commander was Major General Tobulkinsky, with the 1st and 2nd Brigades under the command of the Russian army on the Northern Front. The regiment that the Russian army was annihilated by the People's Army on the Northern Front was the 138th Regiment under the 1st Brigade, so the division now has only 1 and a half brigade. In this way, the Northern Front still retains 1 division and 1 brigade, and the People's Army's troops on the Northern Front should be 1 division or 1 division plus 1 regiment. The Russian army still has a 3:2 or 2:1 advantage in terms of military force.

The Muling River Railway Station is not large, and the three regiments of the 35th Division, as well as the cavalry brigade and the railway guards, are enough, because no matter how many troops are, it is difficult to fully develop. The distribution of the whole body is the 1st Brigade and the Cavalry brigade, the railway guards converge, attack from the east, and the 2nd Brigade attacks from the west, and attacks the Muling River Railway Station from the two lines.

The remaining 9th Division and the 2nd Brigade on the North Line cannot be idle, and immediately launch an attack on the People's Army on the North Line. It is best to defeat the People's Army. Even if the People's Army cannot be defeated, it can still restrain the People's Army on the North Line and prevent them from reinforcement of Mulinghe Railway Station.

The Russian army on the southern line found a suitable location as soon as possible to station, and as far away from the Muling River Railway Station as possible, so as to avoid the heavy artillery attacks of the People's Army's armored trains, arrange defensive positions, and then hold on to the waiting for assistance.
