Chapter 636 Soldiers Out of the Far East 4
A train was spitting thick white air and traveling among the snow-capped mountains and hills. This was an arms train, two-thirds of the entire train was hung with flatbed trucks. The flatbed truck was covered with cannons, and the black cannons flashed with the cold light. Many soldiers stood around the cannons. The cold wind was whistling, and the temperature was nearly minus 30 degrees below zero. However, the severe cold did not affect the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers. Many soldiers couldn't help but sing, and the majestic military songs resounded throughout the valley, echoing and lingering.
There are two bus cars in the second train. In the second car, the temperature is very different from that outside, and it seems to have a unique view. In a car in the middle, Liao Hui, commander-in-chief of the 4th Column, looked at the snowy mountains outside and the patterns of windows covered with windows on the glass windows, and couldn't help but talk. "Captain Li, it's hard to imagine that just 8 days after the troops left the northeast, we actually took the train to swagger towards Vladivostok."[]
Commander Li of the 14th Field Army, deputy commander-in-chief of the 4th Column, echoed: "Yes! I didn't expect that the troops were so smoothly from the northeast, almost without a single shot or bullet. It seems that Deputy Commander-in-chief Mu had expected that we had brought the Far East back with only 200,000 troops. This is called a soldier without fighting." Commander Li continued: "The headquarters orders that the Soviet Pacific Fleet is still in Vladivostok. Are we too polite to the Soviets!"
Liao Hui smiled and said, "There is no way. Now you let the Soviet ships withdraw. Where will he go? The oceans are fighting, and the only safe route is the Arctic Ocean, but the Arctic Ocean has long been frozen unless the Soviet warships have wings." The two were teasing, and an adjutant came in to report, and his face was obviously filled with joy, which was obviously a good news.
"Reported that the 99th Infantry Brigade has taken over the military port of Vladivostok, and the Soviet troops have begun to assemble to Khabarovsk. At present, the tank troops are still advancing to the north. According to the report of the Pioneer Tanks, they will soon meet with the Third Advance Column," the combat staff member stated happily.
Liao Hui asked: "When will we arrive in Vladivostok?" "It is estimated to be dusk!" The staff officer replied. After the staff officer left, Chief Li analyzed: "Deputy Commander Liao, it is obvious that the Soviet army is going to withdraw its troops!" "It seems that there is news in Chongqing that the Soviets are going to put the Far East troops into the Western Front. At present, the Soviets are at a critical moment in the counterattack, and it is no point in the Soviet army staying in the Far East."
Commander Li said with some regrets: "It would be great if we could use the Soviet Pacific Fleet and launch a landing war directly across the Sea of Japan to launch a landing war on the Japanese mainland, I think it would be even harder for the little Japan to resist." Liao Hui agreed and said: "Yes! If the big China does not have a navy, it is depressing. I believe that the words of Deputy Commander Mu will soon be able to establish a strong navy, and Deputy Commander Mu will do it as soon as he says!"
In the evening, the train arrived in Vladivostok on time. As the name suggests, Vladivostok is understood according to the Chinese name, it is a place where sea cucumbers are produced. It is true that Vladivostok was rich in delicious sea cucumbers back then. It is said that the top-quality sea cucumbers caught locally were directly supplied to the palace.
The lights at Vladivostok station at night are dim and seem to be very peaceful. If you don’t observe carefully, you can’t see any changes. The only change is that our army successfully took over Vladivostok’s defense, and the posts of our soldiers on the station are very eye-catching.
Liao Hui and Commander Li got off the train, and a major general brigade commander came forward to report: "Report to Deputy Commander Liao! Military seat! The 99th Infantry Brigade has taken over Vladivostok in full, please give me instructions!" "Is there any movement in the Soviet Pacific Fleet?" Liao Hui asked. The brigade commander said: "Soviet ships are still on patrol missions. The commander of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, Jiujiazawaf, was waiting outside the station gate. He was very anxious to see you." Liao Hui smiled at Commander Li and said: "Let's go and meet this commander!"
The meeting was brief greetings, and then Jiujiazawav invited Liao Hui to the Pacific Naval Command to continue consultations. Soon the figures of both sides appeared in the Naval Command, and most of the senior Soviet naval generals were waiting. Everyone's expressions were a bit depressed. Liao Hui's identity was an uninvited guest after all, and it was impossible to be warmly welcomed. After both sides sat down, Jiujiazawav said straight to the point: "General Liao, I received the order from the command headquarters, and the fleet continued to stay in the military port of Vladivostok. I believe you already know these situations!"
Liao Hui said: "Yes! I received an order from the headquarters that you will continue to stay in the Vladivostok military port. However, I ask you to carry out combat readiness patrol missions and always guard the movements of the Japanese Navy." Kugazawaov promised: "We will perform our duties, but I ask your air force to provide air cover!"
Liao Hui said: "No problem. Tomorrow morning, a combat aviation division and a bombing wing of our air force will enter Vladivostok airport and be responsible for air defense!" Jiugazov nodded. At this time, a Soviet naval officer handed him a black notebook. Jiugazov took the notebook and said: "General Liao, this is the entire situation of the Pacific Fleet. Please check it out."
Liao Hui took the notebook and did not read it. He casually handed it to the adjutant and said, "General Kuokazawav, I believe your sincerity will not be wrong. At the same time, I hope that your subordinates must strictly enforce military discipline during their stay in the military port and do not have unpleasant things. I wish you all happiness!" After Liao Hui said that, he led his subordinates away. Since it was not popular, it was a bit embarrassing to stay here. At present, the so-called protests of the Soviets and their anger were meaningless, so the Soviet generals had to accept this sad fact ruthlessly.
Liao Hui and his party left the Su Navy Command and headed straight to a restaurant on the street. They naturally wanted to celebrate tonight. Vladivostok was still the same at night, and there was no sign of any change. Russians often saw on the street, and there was no panic or uneasiness in their expressions, but the land here had changed its owner.
On January 25, on the 10th day of the troops leaving the Far East, a transport plane landed at Boli Airport. After the plane stopped, Commander Lin and Chief of Staff Chen Changjie and others came out one after another through the rear cabin door. Originally, Soviet commander Chikayev was going to visit Lin in Jiamusi and discuss the withdrawal of the Soviet army. As the situation was developing too fast, Peng Dehuai ordered Lin to move the headquarters to Boli. Therefore, Lin simply killed two birds with one stone, saving both sides of the road back and forth.
The two sides met on the airport apron, and the weather was still very cold. Lin's thin body formed a strong contrast with the tall Chikaev. Both sides exchanged a few simple greetings and drove straight to the Soviet Far East Command. In the headquarters, both sides immediately entered the substantive problem.
Chikayev said: "General Lin, although the governments of both sides are negotiating, we have received an order from the Command to withdraw all troops in the Far East. For the withdrawal of troops, please give General Lin a convenience." Lin said: "General Chikayev, we will fulfill all the guarantees we have made and will definitely provide strong assistance. However, the trains that your army took must be stopped in Magdagachi. We have received an order that all trains in the Far East cannot cross the Palacio, but can only reach there. You can transfer in Magdagachi. In the future, trains in the Far East and all the materials you need must also transfer in Magdagachi."
When Chikayev saw Lin's decisive face, he knew that it would be impossible to change it, so he had to agree. On the same day, the two sides handed over, and the Soviet flag on the mast of the headquarters was replaced by the Chinese flag. On that day, Chikayev left a liaison office in Boli, and then boarded the plane to Irkusco. At present, except for the accidents in Sakhalin Island, all the targets planned in the Far East have been completed.
It was cold and the Soviet army would probably take a month to withdraw a large-scale army. The next problem our army faced was to meet the food and grass needed by each unit and how to survive the severe cold winter. Fortunately, the railway line was smooth, and a large number of food and grass began to be transported continuously through the Middle East Railway. In addition, the northern inland areas also organized the transportation of food and grass.
A transport plane was flying in the air, and most of the things in the cabin were women and children. There were no chairs in the cabin, only small wooden stools that were temporarily added. At this time, Su Wanyun was holding her son who was one year old, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Maybe she was missing her husband. Since her husband's army went out of the northeast, the couple had been one side of the same place as each other for two years.
Su Wanyun's mood was pounding as soon as she could see her husband. At this time, a sob suddenly came from beside her. She turned her head and saw that Xiao Li was secretly choking. Xiao Li was the only girl in this group of uninvited guests. Other women were carrying children, and even without children, most of them were combed with married women's hair accessories. The traditional things in this era are still stubborn. Married and unmarried women can be seen at a glance through their hairstyles and headwear.
Xiao Li was still wearing a big braid, so naturally he was the only girl among the group. After getting on the plane in Peking, Xiao Li sat next to her. Therefore, they became familiar with each other along the way, and Su Wanyun also learned about Xiao Li's life experience. She is from Jinan. Her fiancé joined the army eight years ago, and there was no news for eight years after leaving. After the mainland was restored last year, she found out that her fiancé was still built and is currently a leader of the 1st Tank Division.
Xiao Li went to the 3rd Corps left-behind office of Peking for inquiries, and happened to meet the concentration of family members above the 3rd Corps, so she became one of them. "Xiao Li, you are about to see your fiancé, why are you crying?" Su Wanyun asked with concern. "Sister Su, what are the big ones in the Far East? Where can I go to find him? Besides, I suddenly came. If he changed his mind, what should I do if he was already married and had children?"
"What did he say to you when he left?" Su Wanyun asked. Xiao Li said, "He said that if he defeated the Japanese robbers, he would definitely come back to marry me!" "That's right. If you have any worries, you should believe him. Look at you, you are so beautiful, and you are still worried that you can't get married!" Xiao Li blushed and burst into tears and smiled when he heard this.
Su Wanyun continued, "Don't worry, put it on me and keep it safe and find your fiancé." Xiao Li returned to normal and asked: "Sister Su, what is your husband doing? He kept his mouth tight all the way. Do you tell me?" "Don't ask, I said that if you can help you, you can definitely help you, just keep your heart in your stomach!"
At Baili military airport, Lin and Chen Changjie appeared on the airport apron again. His wife and children were about to arrive. Lin was a little excited, but his expression could not be seen. Chen Changjie, the chief of staff beside him muttered: "It's cold and the earth is moving, why are the families of officers above the regiment gathering in the Far East? Could it be that we want to station in the Far East for a long time?"
Lin said: "Yes, we will not participate in the battle in Korea. I guess the Far East Military Region will be established soon. We may be stationed in the Far East for a long time. There are other factors..." Lin suddenly stopped talking because it involves the political field.
"What other factors?" Chen Changjie, who was simple-minded, asked. Lin did not answer. He thought to himself: Deputy Commander Mu had already begun to take action to establish a peaceful country. Nie Rongzhen was transferred to Outer Mongolia, and he and He Long were stationed in the Far East. Xu Xiangqian was in Xinjiang, Chen Geng was in the Expeditionary Force, and Chen Yi was in **. Chiang Kai-shek's direct subordinate Xue Yue's troops were transferred to Xinjiang. What does this mean?
Ye Ting is a neutral faction and will firmly stand on the side of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Mu. Li Zongren and Chiang Kai-shek are not on the same side, and they will completely turn to the strong side. The Air Force, Armored Force, Airborne Force and other units are all the direct descendants of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Mu.
Lin suddenly figured out and knew what he should do in the future!
