Faced with Song Biao's questions and doubts, Brusilov did not give an answer immediately, perhaps even he himself did not know.

He turned his face to think about this question, dusted the gray sand on his military boots and replied: "I think the situation should be very urgent, but it cannot be urgent. 1 Because I just came from Moscow, I know some news, which is very unfavorable to the Commander-in-Chief. Many bureaucrats think that he is too weak and timid, and failed to seize the opportunity to wipe out the Japanese army in one fell swoop, especially those close ministers around His Majesty. Slander always makes us upright soldiers feel headaches.

Fortunately, after the Battle of Heigoutai, His Majesty also had more confidence in the Commander-in-Chief. But as far as we middle-level officers are concerned, the Commander-in-Chief does not seem to be the best candidate for our army at present. I think he may also be very clear in his heart. On the one hand, the war now is beneficial to our army on the surface, but in fact it is much worse. He cannot report to the superiors truthfully, so he has to gamble on local tactics and adopt a more extreme tactic. I think this is the case, but I just don’t know what the news is like on your side?"

In this world, there are classes at any time.

Both of them are colonels, they are in the same class, and others are one class lower than them, and others have to raise their heads to talk to them. Although Song Biao and Brusilov have never met before, and have no friendship, they sit together but feel the same identity as the same class.

This situation is always omnipresent in the human world.

Song Biao replied frankly: "I have been clearing out bandits in Tonghua for the past two months, and I know very little about this. I am afraid I am even less clear about the matters inside Russia, or I won't care too much."

Brusilov sighed: "Yes, since you are the one who commands this special infantry division, I am relieved. If we really let General Bilderlinger's coward and old nobles who only know how to embezzle the emperor, I think I would rather go back and be the principal of my cavalry officers' school."

Song Biao laughed interestingly, and then he remembered that Alexeyevich Brusilov had served as a teacher at the Russian Cavalry Officer School for a long time, and he did not officially become a military general after he served as principal.

This is a good thing, but also a bad thing. The good news is that Alexeyevich Brusilov is a more upright academic school, and the bad news is that he has little practical experience.

Brusilov continued to ask: "In the order I have received, there is almost no excessive description of your special infantry division. I have always been curious. How did the commander-in-chief Kuropatkin conceived you in the appointment given to you?"

Song Biao said: "My proposal is to manage as flat as possible. A division manages ten to twelve regiments at the same time, and raid the enemy's key points in a reduced-type army. Therefore, we need to build a special cavalry unit, which cannot be like the previous Cossack cavalry. In fact, I was also inspired by the First Japanese Cavalry Brigade, which installed a large number of machine gunners and infantry in the brigade, as well as artillery, so that a brigade can quickly and maneuver into the enemy's key points. This tactical design obviously broke the previous cavalry model, and I think it is very meaningful, so I want to try it. The original idea was two cavalry regiments. After discussing with the Commander-in-Chief, we decided to directly form a similar brigade."

Brusilov thought carefully about these words, as if he was a little inspired. He pondered for a while before saying: "What do you mean is to connect the cavalry and the transport team, mainly to use the rapid action of the cavalry to strengthen the cavalry's firepower and equipment, and suddenly penetrate the enemy's rear at a critical moment, or to carry out positional wars on the back, and a rapid annihilation war?"

Song Biao praised: "It's true that he is worthy of being the principal of the Military Academy. That's what I mean."

Brusilov also praised: "This should be a very important innovation, which may hit the opponent hard."

Song Biao said: "Then let us keep our eyes open and see clearly! Before that, I want me to be responsible for the camp planning work. I plan to give the locals a resettlement fee to allow them to quietly accept the requisition of our army. In order to effectively keep our army's formation work confidential, cavalry guards must be sent to increase the scope of patrol and alert around the surrounding areas."

Brusilov agreed immediately and said, "Then I will arrange the following things now."

Song Biao nodded slightly, stood up and left the room with Brusilov, each responsible for part of his work.

After building his temporary office first, Song Biao called Lao Guo to help, using the Russian military rations as a transaction, and first appeased the local villagers in Zhujiatun so that they would not collude with the bandits who worked for the Japanese to inform them. Of course, they should also be careful of the strange and various intelligence spies sent by Yuan Shikai.

Li Dayun was urgently sent back to Tonghua County, asking Chen Wu and Xue Changqing to do things according to Song Biao's instructions and quickly brought some of the troops over.

Major Kornilov's 1st Far East Infantry Regiment will also be drawn out, leaving only one Cossack cavalry regiment in Tonghua County, and will be responsible for guarding the county with Zhao Tingzhu's troops.

All regiments led by Zhang Yahu, Chen Wu, Yang Tiesheng, Xue Changqing and Hu Dalin will arrive in Zhujiatun in the shortest time. Song Biao didn't want to be assigned to the instructor of the thorny head of the stinging instructor of Nijin, so he stayed in Tonghua County to continue his non-commissioned officer crash course.

That afternoon, two infantry regiments of Seudinsk arrived in Zhujiatun area. The officer in charge of the team was Major Fon Esk, who was very familiar to Song Biao. On the last day of the transfer order, three infantry regiments and artillery regiments of the Siberian Infantry Division also arrived at the division headquarters one after another.

After the arrival of five infantry regiments, a cavalry brigade, an artillery regiment and a temporary pieced together engineer regiment, Song Biao had gathered 25,000 Russian soldiers in Zhujiatun.

When these officers and troops arrived in Zhujiatun one after another and met and talked with Song Biao, Song Biao generally understood the thoughts of Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin, who planned to use his own low-key way to gamble.

The artillery regiment commander sent here this time was a senior artillery lieutenant colonel named Andrei Pakinov. Before being transferred to the Far East Army to participate in the war, he was the vice principal of the Kazan Artillery Soldiers School. The "Coordinated Operations and Tactical Drill Plan for Artillery and Infantry" compiled by him was carried forward during the Soviet period and became the Soviet artillery training textbook before World War II.

During the Tsarist Russian Empire, cavalry was always valued above everything else, which depends on the empire's too huge territory. If there were even generals in Russia who were experts in modern artillery theory, Andrei Pakinov would definitely be included in this list.

Lieutenant Colonel Martos, a Polish-born staff officer, has always been known for his keen and erudition, and is also an expert in the Russian Far East Army in the field of fortification construction.

Under this special situation, Major Tuvanier was also sent to serve as Song Biao's logistics supply officer, responsible for coordinating military supplies in all aspects with the Far East Army General Staff. At the same time, he and Lieutenant Colonel Martos were appointed to serve as the staff officer of "Beao Vladimir Song Infantry Colonel".

Half of them are familiar old comrades-in-arms, and half are academics that deserve the admiration of the soldiers. They are not young. Three are senior generals over fifty years old. This situation makes Song Biao very embarrassed. He originally planned to give these people a more aggressive way of provoking them. Now it seems that the unethical words that are too exciting are really hard to say, because his subordinates are so luxurious that they can represent Russia to fight the First World War.

After the staff arrived that night, Song Biao urgently held a regular military meeting and summoned all the frontline commanders to his combat conference room.

The conditions of this combat conference room are so simple. It was just a west house in a large courtyard on the west side of the Tubozi. The old New Year pictures of Fu Lushou Sanxing were pasted in the room. Because the windows that were disrepaired and full of loopholes were temporarily pasted with thick yellow kraft paper encapsulated.

After lit four kerosene lamps, the room still looked very dark and had a pungent smell of mould.

While talking to Colonel Brusilov who was sitting beside him, Song Biao paid attention to other generals who arrived one after another. He glanced at him and saw that seven majors, four lieutenant colonels, two colonels, and one general could form an army.

On the table, Song Biao had already asked Jiang Fangzhen to spread out a newly marked combat map. This secret map of the Russian army actually contained the contributions of Lao Guotou and Sun Shiyong. It was through them that the General Staff of the Russian Far East Army secretly hired a group of horse gangs and bandit spies to operate in Liaozhong and Liaoyang areas to collect various intelligence for the Russian army. The same was true for the Japanese army, and even bandit spies worked for both sides at the same time.

Song Biao stood up seriously and pointed at the Liaoyang outpost area with his baton, just as he was about to speak, Major Tuvanier hurriedly walked in and reported to him: "Col. Are you Commodity General Samsolov?"

"who?"

Song Biao was a little confused very rarely. He only felt that all this was actually too much like a Ding Ding Adventure for him, who was still a base sentry half a year ago.

Major Tuvanier could only repeat: "Col. His Excellency Brigadier General Samsolov of the First Army is ordered to come to your regular military meeting."

Song Biao rolled his eyes. If he added Denikin and Major Kornilov, his commanders could already represent Russia in the First World War ten years later. The Second Army and the commander-in-chief of the Tsarist Russian Empire were here, and Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Pakinov was the most prominent artillery general in the middle and late stages of the First World War.

At this time, Brigadier General Samsolov had already taken his adjutant into the conference room. He was tall and with a thick beard, and he looked more like a butcher. Fortunately, he was wearing a thick military uniform, so he would not make people have other associations.

The other Russian generals seemed to be equally surprised. Everyone stood up at the same time to salute Brigadier General Alexander Vasilievich Samsolov. Song Biao could only salute first: "Welcome to you, Mr. Samsolov, I am the commander here, Colonel Beao. Song Infantry!"

Brigadier General Samsolov was more surprised than everyone. The general reason might be that like Colonel Brusilov, he never thought that the legendary Colonel Beau was an Asian.

He couldn't help asking an equally stupid topic: "Song, did you defect from the Japanese army?"

Although he was one level lower than his military rank, Song Biao still felt that this guy was too rude and looked very unhappy with a stern face, saying, "Report to the brigade general, I am just a native of the Far East who had studied in a Russian church school. Because my uncles had fought with the Japanese and were defeated by them, they appeared here and thought about it to defeat the Japanese."

Brigadier General Samsolov suddenly realized and seemed more and more surprised. He was completely unable to perceive his rudeness. He said, "It makes sense... Then let's talk about the serious matter. I came to your military meeting on the order of the Commander-in-Chief. If possible, I need to submit a separate opinion report on your plan, but this opinion report will definitely not work, because I will return to the country for recuperation soon."

At this time, Colonel Brusilov sighed slightly provocatively: "I heard that you were ordered to return to China because of fighting with General Rennankampf, which caused the old guy to have a fracture of his nose bone?"

Brigadier General Samsolov couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and said, "I really didn't expect that the news would spread so quickly. It's good. I had a fight with that bastard. To be honest, I can hold a more formal duel with him at any time, and this matter will not end here.

There is absolutely no explanation for the fight between Samsolov and Rennankampf in the Russo-Japanese War, which resulted in General Rennankampf's nasal bone fracture. In fact, this ruin even led to the great defeat of the Russian army in the Battle of Tannenburg in World War I. General Samsolov could only commit suicide in the woods in a mess. General Rennankampf had to criticize himself in his later years, and became a Russian sinner for many years.

Song Biao was not interested in this gossip incident, and he certainly did not want such a thing to become the subject of mutual aggression at the military meeting, so he immediately invited Brigadier General Samsolov to sit down.

Everyone sat down, and Song Biao stood alone at the conference table, looking at the military map in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

At this time, as a subordinate of Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin, Song Biao finally realized how an annoying thing a commander-in-Chief who "uses life suspicion" and "indecisive" is. If the arrival of Alexeyevich Brusilov is due to the attention of Kuropatkin, the arrival of Alexander Samsolov cannot be described as simply "attention".

This is one of the worst situations for the frontline commander, and even worse than this is the enemy capturing your last line of defense.

Under the dim kerosene lamp, Song Biao was so distressed that he couldn't help but sigh, thinking that he was really looking for a blow, so he might as well let Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin be pushed to the ground by the Japanese army, although he knew that the Commander-in-Chief was definitely not a bad person.
