2. There are about 2330 railroad police in Harbin belonging to the Soviet irmy.
These are organized according to the Soviet system and their uniforms,
tanks, etc., follow the ;ioviet pattern. They are equipped for ground
fighting and for defensive operations against air raids. 25X1A6a
Cor.mentp It is quite possible that there are no regular Chinese
Comraknist soldiers in Harbin and that police and irregular units have
replaced any regular troops which were in the city. r'revious reports have
indicated a larger number of Soviet railroad troops (or "police") in
iiarbin, or have mentioned a larger number of railroad troops in Harbin on
leave, but the figure above is believed to be more nearly correct.)
