Chapter 534 The Second Battle of the Yalu River (5)

This time, Luo Yue took the train for 3 days and rested on the train for two nights. He arrived in Vladivostok at noon on the third day.

As soon as he arrived in Vladivostok, Luo Yue received a notice from the Military Commission. Only then did he realize that his mission to return to Qingdao was to participate in the battle of the Yalu River defense line, land on the Korean Peninsula, and stab the Japanese army behind it.

Of course, Luo Yue had no objection to this. Only by using the Marine Corps in the landing operations of Bijing can it be competent. There are basically no major wars to fight on the Far East battlefield. For himself now, the more battles he has experienced, the better. On the one hand, it is to accumulate experience; on the other hand, it is to increase experience, and on the other hand, it is to land on the Korean Peninsula, Luo Yue also believes that the chance of success is very high. This is not blind confidence, because in the old time and space, the landing on the Korean Peninsula itself has a successful example. Moreover, although the Japanese army has gathered 300,000 troops, most of them are recruits. Although they are not considered a mob, their combat effectiveness is not strong. In addition, the Marine Corps has accumulated a lot of experience after two landing battles.

In addition, Luo Yue also received a letter from home, and only then did he know that his wife had given birth to a little boy. Of course, the mother and son are both safe now, Zhou Weiying also stopped working and rested at home to rest and recover, so that Luo Yue would not worry about it and work with peace of mind. During the war, Luo Yue and his family basically had no letters, but they would send each other a telegram every month to say safety. This was because the family was afraid of affecting Luo Yue's work. After all, Luo Yue was engaged in a life-and-death battle on the front line. Until the situation in the Far East War Zone has calmed down, Zhou Weiying also gave birth, so he wrote a letter to Luo Yue.

After reading the letter, Luo Yue couldn't help feeling a little guilty. Although he couldn't go home because of his official duties and was unable to go home, and his wife could understand his work. Although his family's material life was relatively rich, due to his own tasks, Zhou Weiying would definitely be worried about her safety, so she did not fulfill her responsibilities as a husband. However, she could take this opportunity to return to Qingdao to go home to see her wife and children, and how many days the family would be reunited. Luo Yue was very strict in the military administration and also had strict requirements on himself, but it was not so strict that he could not enter the house three times and not enter. Without violating the general principles, it would be okay to open a door of convenience for himself.

Finally, there is a document, where the German military observation team led by Rudendolf is going to the Far East War Zone to observe the war situation, understand the war process, and observe the battlefield. It requires Luo Yue to do a good job in reception and arrangement, and to provide convenience to the German military observation team as much as possible without affecting the war work.

Of course, Luo Yue knew who Rudendolf was, but he was not very fond of Rudendolf, because Rudendolf was just a famous general in World War I, and the military technology had been greatly improved throughout the entire World War I process, but military theory was still at the stage of the Russo-Japanese War. Although there were signs of new military theories at the end of World War I, there was no breakthrough development. In the end, these new military theories shone brightly during World War II. Therefore, although Rudendolf can basically be regarded as the best army commander in World War I, he was essentially an old-style soldier, and Luo Yue was obviously more interested in those soldiers in World War II.

However, Luo Yue did not have any disgust towards Rudendorf, and he was still a little impressed by him. After all, in the late stage of World War I, Rudendorf was indeed alone in supporting the overall situation of Germany. The main reason for Germany's final failure was that its national strength was insufficient, not that Rudendorf's ability was insufficient. Moreover, with the order from Qingdao, it would be acceptable on the broad side. Of course, Luo Yue would not stay in Vladivostok for a long time and would set off on the ship at the latest tomorrow. Therefore, Luo Yue immediately ordered people to arrange time immediately to meet with members of the German military observation team.

At this time, the German military observation team had arrived in Vladivostok for two days and did not continue to move forward to Harbin. They just waited for Luo Yue here. Although Luo Yue was about to leave the Far East War Zone, he still retained his position as commander of the Far East War Zone. Therefore, it was reasonable for the German military observation team to wait for Luo Yue to arrive here. Moreover, during the past two days, the military observation team was not wasted, but were all investigating the battlefield of Vladivostok and carefully surveying the fortifications and forts built by Russia on Vladivostok and Lefu Island.

Ludendolf was an army soldier, not good at naval, and knew nothing about landing operations. However, he had a high evaluation of the fortifications left by Russia. Although the Russian army had insufficient troops to defend Vladivostok, it was not easy to break Vladivostok's defense. As it was attacking from the sea, although Ludendolf did not understand the navy, the principle of naval guns could not be beaten by shore defense guns, Ludendolf still understood. After all, the People's Army had broken through this solid fortress, so the People's Army obviously adopted effective tactics.

Of course, although Rudendolf did not understand the navy, his team had authoritative naval personnel, namely Colonel Maximilian von Spee, who was as famous as Schell in Germany. Therefore, Rudendolf asked Spee about how to break through the fortress if he was to command the navy, Spee would spread his hands, saying that unless he could have more than 8 battleships and pay the price of at least 2 battleships being sunk, he could break through the fortress from the sea. He was also full of interest in how the People's Army Navy broke through the Vladivostok fortress.

When he learned that Luo Yue had returned to Vladivostok and was about to meet with the German military observation team, Ludendorff and the team members also changed their military uniforms and came to see Luo Yue neatly.

After the two sides met, Ludendolf and Spey were both very surprised because Luo Yue looked too young, at most about 30 years old, and he was still entitled to the rank of major general. Ludendolf and Spey were both newcomers in the German military, and both had colonels. The former was 40 years old this year and the latter was 44 years old. Therefore, Luo Yue was indeed a little too young in comparison.

However, the two dared to despise Luo Yue because of this. This was not only because of diplomatic etiquette, but because under Luo Yue's command, the People's Army not only captured Vladivostok, but also fought westward to Harbin, thus changing the trend of the entire war in one fell swoop. With this record, Luo Yue could afford the rank of major general. Ludendorf and Spee were both standard soldiers, only recognized the record, regardless of the others.

After the two sides were polite to each other, Ludendolf couldn't wait to ask about the war. Luo Yue was summarizing the war, so he also gave them a detailed introduction. Of course, the introduction of the Germans was reserved. Luo Yue certainly knew what to say and what not to say. Regarding the battle of attacking Vladivostok, Luo Yue focused on introducing the People's Army's reconnaissance of Vladivostok before the war, and understood the hydrology, altitude, position of the fort, and the distribution of artillery in Vladivostok, and carried out accurate calculations. In the battle, he made full use of these reconnaissance data and attacked at night. He first concentrated artillery to destroy the heavy artillery of the Russian army, solved the Russian army's threat to warships, and then cleared the Russian army's fortress one by one, and finally landed.

In fact, the People's Army won the landing war mainly by destroying the heavy artillery of the Russian army. The artillery of the warship was fired at night by drones providing shooting parameters with the carrier-based radar, so it was easy to win the landing war. Of course, these words would not be said.

Ludendorf and Spey were both soldiers with regular military education. Of course, they could hear that Luo Yue was ambushing in his words, such as how the warships fired at night, even if the data collected was complete, they could be used for terminal shooting or map shooting, but how do the warships positioned at sea? And even if they could be positioned well, the warships floated at sea, and the recoil of artillery shooting would not stay in one position. How did the People's Army measure and correct the position of the warship? Luo Yue did not say these things. Of course, the two also understood that these should be military secrets or secret technologies belonging to the East China government. Luo Yue certainly would not disclose them, so the two did not ask, after all, there was still some self-knowledge.

Then Luo Yue introduced the Battle of Muling River. This time it was Ludendorf's profession. Therefore, Ludendorf also listened very seriously and kept recording in his notebook. Whenever Luo Yue talked about a location, Ludendorf would ask the translator to find the location on the map and measure the distance. He also asked questions from time to time, and he asked quite professionally, basically about building points. Luo Yue was quite impressed. As expected, he was worthy of being a future famous general. Luo Yue also responded to Ludendorf's questions as much as possible, but he laughed and did not answer some things that he could not say. Ludendorf was also very tactful, and he would stop at this time and would not ask until he could not finish it.

After listening to Luo Yue's speech, Ludendorf's eyes were full of admiration. Looking at the entire battle process, Luo Yue's grasp of the fighter jets was quite accurate. Several times Guan Jian's fighter jets were firmly grasped by Luo Yue, so he achieved a brilliant victory. If one of them was missed, it might be rewritten. With such a keen vision and accurate judgment, Ludendorf used to believe that only Napoleon could do it.

When Luo Yue compared himself to Napoleon, Luo Yue even claimed that he "dare not to be accused of" because Napoleon was also one of the famous foreign generals that Luo Yue admired the most. In fact, in the Battle of the Muling River, Luo Yue's accurate fighter jets were Luo Yue's judgment on the one hand; on the other hand, the people's super intelligence reconnaissance capabilities. In addition to scouts, there were fixed-wing aircraft and drones. In addition to the advanced communication system, Luo Yue was able to discover fighter jets at an extreme and react immediately to achieve the effect of winning the enemy. In fact, the so-called famous generals who are as predicted as gods are all based on accurate intelligence and division. The kind of people who have calculated their fingers and understand everything, and only exists in the novel.
