After a whole night of thinking and speculation, Song Biao decided to take a risk. The trial team defeated the Japanese Army in advance, but he was not in a hurry to announce his idea.

The next morning, he called Xue Changqing and Chen Wu to his office very early.

Chen Wu was in a very excited mood. He entered the door first and saluted: "Let me tell you, I have taken the lead in completing the first batch of recruitment work. The strength of our Third Infantry Regiment has reached 2,300 people, and we currently have two infantry battalions under our jurisdiction."

And a baggage company, an artillery company, and a reconnaissance company." Xue Changqing then stepped through the door and saluted: "Master's seat."

He is older, speaks and acts steadily, and maintains his own identity. He cannot be like Chen Wu who just pours out the beans as soon as he enters the door.

Song Biao was having breakfast, a bowl of mung bean porridge, two shepherd's purse steamed buns and a boiled egg.

He hurriedly waved the two people in to talk, and before they sat down, he asked: "Have you eaten? If not, just eat together at my place, and I will ask Dayun to make some more white bread for you."

Xue Changqing smiled and said: "We ate here at Sanhepuzi. We ate here early to report to the master. Huā Baozi is impatient, and he can finish all the trivial matters in one breath, so I have to explain it carefully here.

Song Biao was very happy because he had known in advance that he had bought the franchise of Fushun Coal Mine. He smiled and said to Xue Changqing: "Then I won't be particular. I will eat and listen at the same time without wasting time." Xue Changqing said with a smile.

"Okay. Sir, we have really made a profit this time. We have won the franchise of Fushun Coal Mine for 200,000 rubles. The Manchus in Zengqi simply can't stand the intimidation. Let's ask the Russians to come forward and threaten us."

, he immediately signed and pledged the thirty-year coal and iron franchise rights to us in Fushun, Benxi and Tieling. We originally expected that the coal and iron franchise in Fushun would cost 200,000 rubles. We can negotiate for the other two places.

If you ask for a price, then negotiate the price. Unexpectedly, Zengqi, a Manchu general, was so bad that he couldn't stand the intimidation and signed without discussing the price."

Song Biao laughed and said: "This thing is done well, yes, it has to be done this way." Xue Changqing said: "Because we are buying land and land deeds in the Shenyang City area, funds are very tight, Brigadier General Madnidorf will

We asked Daosheng Bank to apply for a loan for us, using our Russian military pay as collateral, and taking advantage of the recent chaos, I bought all the most prosperous shops in Chaoyang Street and Zhengyang Street."

Song Biao nodded, feeling that this business was not bad.

Seeing that Song Biao was satisfied with this matter, Xue Changqing was naturally even happier and said: "Master, we have collected 14,700 fields around Shenyang, and we have also taken the risk to collect fields in Liaozhong and Liaoyang."

There are more than 6,000 acres of land. The land over there is cheaper, but it is not so easy to harvest. We can't go to Japan to collect the land deeds. But when we encounter a big family who has escaped from the disaster, they sell a land deed, so we will pay a low price.

Buy one. The fields have harvested a lot, but we don’t dare to grow food this year. It is another year of waste. Looking at this situation, next year may be a year of great drought. Right now, the food and silver rubles in our hands are all wasted.

It’s almost done. I guess you don’t have much food left here. If you want to do this business in the future, you will have to go to other places to collect food and transport it.”

Song Biao said: "I still have more than one million yen in my hand. I exchanged it with the Japanese for silver yen some time ago and let Huzi collect grain in Huinan and Meihekou. The price of grain there is pretty good. A load of sorghum

The price of rice is only 40 oceans. I estimate that I have collected 20,000 dan now. I am in Niujiapu and Balichuan

There are still 10,000 dans of grain in stock there, which is basically enough for four months of our expenses. In Vladivostok, I asked Chang Wanchun to ask the price, but we can buy American grain. The price of corn and potatoes does not count.

It's outrageous. The cost of shipping it here is too high, and the Russian army is doing the purchasing, so we won't consider it for the time being. Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky talked to me about some things, and I guess I may have to continue to go to the front line. Just as you

We have returned with the transportation group and the caravan brigade, so we should seize the time to sort it out. Let Lao Jintou continue to take the caravan brigade and let him go to Huinan and Mudanjiang to be responsible for consigning supplies. If you really want to go to the front line, your transportation group

You have to come with me. Therefore, this business of selling grains has to be put on hold for the time being.,…

Xue Changqing was shocked and asked Song Biao: "What's wrong? Do the Russians think we haven't done our best to suppress the bandits?"

Chen Wu immediately became energetic and suddenly stood up and said: "Master, it's a good thing. It's not like we haven't fought against Little Japan before. Let's continue fighting. My two thousand brothers are waiting for the war to begin!" Song Biao

He waved his hand indifferently, motioning Chen Wu to sit down and talk to him, and then said to Xue Changqing: "The Russians feel that a decisive battle is imminent, especially General Mishuchenko, he still hopes that we will go back to help him.

The specific conditions have not been discussed yet, I estimate it will be very generous. The decision of whether to go back or not is in my hands. I am still thinking about it, and I also want to hear what the brothers think."

Xue Changqing immediately said: "If you want me to say, then give him a hard fight. We have almost sold out the food in our hands, and we have reaped all the benefits. What do you think, Master, let's start from Huinan

Transporting grain to Shenyang, the intermediate freight is not low, especially those foreign horse thieves in Japan can eat it, and they won't eat the bad ones. If the profit is only twice the profit, we really might as well go up and grab the Japanese equipment. It's just that

Little Japan is also very desperate. Although we have more brothers than before, we still can't fight with Little Japan. We have to continue to let the Russians stand in front of us, and we follow behind to grab things." Song Biao sighed.

Said: "It's easy to say, how can there be so many good things. The Battle of Heigoutai was only a medium-sized battle. Neither side tried their best. Now it is a large-scale decisive battle. The cumulative troops invested by both sides are at least

There are as many as 700,000, and if we are not careful, we will lose all our lives. How can war wealth be so easy to make?"

When Xue Changqing heard this, he turned around and asked: "Then what does Master mean... let's not go and continue to fight bandits in the rear to make money for ourselves." Song Biao was not in a hurry to answer and continued to eat his food.

breakfast.

Xue Changqing and Chen Wu could only sit and watch, not daring to say a word.

After finishing his plate of steamed buns and a large bowl of porridge, Song Biao picked up a towel from the table and wiped his mouth and hands before continuing with the two of them: "Wars have to be fought, as long as they can be fought."

Fight as hard as you can. As for how to fight, I will consider it. For us, making money and training the troops are both a kind of development, and the latter is more important. This opportunity is right in front of us and will be fleeting.

We can't wait any longer. You two continue to follow me. In addition, I plan to bring Huzi and Tiesheng's teams over, leaving Zhuzhu and a Russian cavalry regiment here to guard Tonghua City and Niujiapi.

We can only shrink a little bit there. As long as Tonghua is not lost, the Japanese army will basically not dare to go to Niujiapu. After calculation, I have to go through half of three infantry regiments, the engineering regiment, and the transportation regiment. The current ones are

It is no problem for the artillery company to work together to form an artillery battalion."

Xue Changqing thought about it and asked: "Master, let's just leave 3,000 men and a Russian cavalry regiment of no more than 1,000 men to guard Tonghua City. Is it too risky?"

Song Biao said: "It's not a big problem. The Japanese army doesn't have much strength at the moment. Plus our patrol teams in various villages, together, there are actually more than 5,000 people. Even if the Japanese army sends an infantry regiment, they can't do it."

They may not be able to bear it. If we send more, they really won’t be able to take it out.”

After a pause, he added: "Now we are really going all out for a decisive battle. At this time, the Japanese army does not dare to send a brigade to Tonghua for adventure. If it fails, morale will plummet, not to mention that it is the last resort."

Now that the decisive battle is over, transportation lines and the like are already secondary matters."

Chen Wu gritted his teeth and said: "Master, let's go fight. Brother, my hands have been itchy for a long time. I look forward to fighting every day."

Song Biao glanced at him coldly and said: "I'm very happy that you want to fight. But your troops have been training for several days. Except for the more than 1,500 people who came back first, you have 30% of the troops there.

They are new recruits without any training. Even the batch that came back early only trained for half a month. You have indeed fought many victorious battles with me, but as a general and a regiment commander, you have to

There are still many, many things to learn. I have a few military attache students from the Japanese army here. They only have theory but no actual combat. I will send one to your side as a battalion commander, who will also serve as a combat staff officer for you. You will follow him a lot.

Learn a little and learn from each other. I am a person who has read a book. You should be more humble when the time comes. Don’t think that if you follow me earlier, you can look down on others.

If you, Mr. Biao, are really so partial, I won't let you lead the main team and let brother Tiesheng lead the reserve team. To be fair, Tiesheng's team is the team that has the most training, it just lacks opportunities.

"

Chen Wu accepted the instruction in a low-key manner and replied sincerely: "Teacher, don't worry. I will humbly learn from others. They have read foreign ink, and we can't compare. The only thing we are better than them is that we follow them."

You, this is called coming early and taking advantage early. Since they are already here and they are all brothers, then we are in the same boat and we are brothers. How can we look down on them?"

Song Biao was also very satisfied and took the lead slightly, but he still reminded Chen Wu sternly and almost harshly: "I hope you can do what you say. I attach great importance to them, just like you.

My subordinates do not only need the four kings, but the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai. At this point, old subordinates like you should know the best and seize all the time to make up for your shortcomings and not fall behind. Life is long.

, it will definitely not be easy for me to go on this journey. If one day, you fall behind, I will still value you and understand our friendship, but are you willing to do so? Learn more. It is always a good thing to learn more.

At this moment, Chen Wu only felt that his heart was extremely heavy. The joy he felt when returning from Shenyang suddenly turned into yesterday's spring mud. But when he thought that Yang Tiesheng was squeezed into the reserve team by his own team, he understood that if he went on this way, he would probably be in trouble.

It's not easy for anyone.

The brothers who have fought together all know and understand whether Master Biao has any friendship or not, but the brothers also understand that Master Biao is very ambitious.

Everyone understands that Master Biao is so capable. If you want to be the governor of Zhili, it will be easy. Maybe Master Biao is like Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, who led the army all the way up, and is even more domineering than the Hunan Army back then.

The brothers have also been governors, governors, admirals, etc. along the way.

Maybe that day will come.

Chen Wu felt that his life was very promising. He thought, once upon a time, he could have such a glorious life as he does today. He gritted his teeth thinking about this.

Song Biao looked at Chen Wu for a moment and could probably understand what he was thinking, so he patted Chen Wu on the shoulder just right and said: "Do it well, don't think about all the things that are and are not, just remember that I'm here

Song Biao only needs you for one day."

"Oh, my subordinates understand very well!"

Chen Wu happily agreed and secretly swore that if he followed Song Biao to the front line again this time, he would do something more beautiful and important, so as to earn more breath for himself and let other brothers see clearly his huā.

Cat's abilities.

After breakfast, Song Biao also talked with Xue Changqing and Chen Wu and asked them to go back early to prepare. In addition, he arranged for someone to send an urgent message to others. Regardless of whether the recruitment task had been completed, they had to return to Tonghua in advance.

Logically speaking, Song Biao's best choice is to take the three troops of Zhao Tingzhu, Zhang Yahu, and Chen Wu into battle, while leaving Yang Tiesheng to look after the family and the hospital. The arrangement of their return route is also more reasonable.

Song Biao still had many things to consider. Tonghua must be defended, and Zhao Tingzhu was the most suitable candidate. As for whose troops followed him into battle, it actually didn't matter because he would either not go to the battlefield. As long as he went, he would definitely still have to go to the battlefield.

Directly command the Russian army to fight and let the Russian army rush to the front. There is no need to use your own recruits to fight against the little Japan.

As for how to fight the decisive battle of Fengtian, Song Biao has already made very clear plans in the past two months. If he really wants to go, when all the necessary conditions are met, he firmly believes that he can do it three times.

Five out of two, so-called famous Japanese generals such as Oyama Iwa, Kimonori, and Nozu Kanchi, were sent to the Yasukuni Shrine as memorial tablets.

To a certain extent, that was why he wanted to fight this battle.

As a soldier, how many opportunities will he encounter in his life to fight against Oyama Iwa and Nozu Kanchi?

He is a Chinese soldier. He would rather help the Russians win the land battle than conquer the mountains and rocks.

Nozu Kanchi and others were convinced that their subordinates were defeated, so they were sent to grab the front row seat at the Yasukuni Shrine.

War is not complicated. The simplest strategy is to find a systematic military theory to restrain your opponent, unswervingly implement the theory to the end, down to every detail, and then seize the opponent's fatal weakness at the most appropriate opportunity.

There was a click.

Just like chopping wood with an iron ax, as long as you work hard, you can easily chop those so-called famous generals into seven or eight pieces.

After talking to Chen Wu and Xue Changqing, Song Biao knew that most of the brothers would not object to going to the battlefield. To be precise, the brothers were willing to do anything with him.

Song Biao did not go to the Maoshan training camp that morning. He continued to invite Jiang Yanxing and Cai Zhen to his office.

Due to some historical factors, Song Biao actually paid more attention to Cai Zhen and Jiang Fangzhen, but he also understood that Cai Zhen, Jiang Fangzhen and Zhang Xiaohuai were all freshly graduated non-commissioned officers and had no actual experience in leading troops in combat.

I don’t have much life experience to speak of.
