At this time, Lao Guo Tou and the others in Yangguantun did not know anything, and they suddenly received a report from Li Dayun and hurriedly came out to greet them, and everyone was naturally very happy to meet them. Welcoming Song Biao and his entourage into the garrison office of Yang Guantun, Lao Guo Tou couldn't wait for two jars of rice wine to be prepared and had two glasses with Song Biao.

The old man was busy here at risk, and made a lot of money and land for Song Biao, although Song Biao knew that there was urgent official business, it was still inconvenient to push back, so he accompanied Lao Guo Tou to drink two glasses.

Yangguantun has always been the garrison camp of the Manchurian Infantry Division, and it has also been a very lively place in the past two months, where the horse gangs will gather, and even many large families who have fled from Liaozhong and Liaoyang will temporarily stay here, after all, there are fellow villagers and the protection of the Russian army, so it is always safer.

One of the first horse gang brothers who followed Song Biao was named Sun Si, and now his name has been changed to Sun Shiyong, this person is in his thirties, he is steady, knows Braille, and he is also an old buddy of the old Guo Tou horse gang, who was originally promoted to squadron leader during the battle of Heigoutai, and now he is a battalion commander, leading an infantry battalion stationed in Yangguantun.

said to be an infantry battalion, in fact, it is more like the accounting department of the caravan brigade, in which more than 20 locally hired bookkeepers are placed, and the entire Yangguantun is actually Song Biao's big warehouse in the south of Shenyang.

After all, it is a really rare old brother, all the way to today's part, large and small vicious battles have been fought, Song Biao called Sun Shiyong over, and the three of them got together to drink these two jars of rice wine, and the appetizer was two cold dishes of pig's head meat and a plate of peanuts.

When he sat down, Sun Shiyong said to Song Biao very happily: "Big boss, this is the first time we have sat down with you to drink, why don't we drink two more glasses today." ”

Because after the Battle of Heigoutai, this old brother stayed in Yangguantun with dozens of people, so he didn't know the new rules that Song Biao later formulated in Tonghua.

Song Biao didn't care, after all, he was an old brother who had suffered together, it was not easy to live to fight today, if he remembered correctly, Sun Shiyong's cousin Sun Qi died on the battlefield of Jiangjiayao.

He touched Sun Shiyong with a coarse enamel wine cup, and said: "I am also entangled in official business when I return to Fengtian City this time, and I have to continue to fight with the Russian army in the future, I will gather in the next two days, I can't drink more with you, you are free." Take a vacation today, have a good rest, and tomorrow you will be busy. ”

"Hmm, hehe."

Sun Shiyong agreed, and said: "The big boss, let's say that you are the big landlord in the Northeast, why do you have 20,000 hectares of land, although our Northeast is sparsely populated, and many old barren forests can't see people for seven or eight days, but there is absolutely no second home in so many places." ”

Song Biao nodded, but said: "These lands are under my name, and when we make a few more money, I will give each old brother more points." The seventh son died a little earlier, wait a while, you send another hundred oceans from Lao Guo Tou's side to his home, just say that it is my little heart, as long as there is a chance in the future, we still have to continue to take care of it. I think at that time, I picked up the gun to recruit troops, didn't we also have fifteen people, think about it, even the forty or so people in the Second Wolf Cave at that time, and now it will be a full thirty. ”

Sun Shiyong was also sad when he heard this, and Lao Guo Tou also sighed, but said: "Big boss, don't be sad, our brother is dead, and he deserves to die." ”

Sun Shiyong also said: "Yes, even if our brothers die, it's worth it, follow the big boss, we have nothing to ask for." I've also gone through life and death a few times, I have seen through it, people have to live so happily in this life, and it is a long life for a turtle to be a turtle in the mountains, but it is better to find a crooked tree and hang it. ”

Song Biao felt very happy when he heard this, picked up the wine cup and touched Sun Shiyong, and said, "Let's go with the old brother." ”

"Let's go!"

Sun Shiyong agreed, and happily drank the wine with Song Biaozi.

Although it was a rice wine that was not relieved, they drank it happily.

The two of them have far more topics together than Lao Guotou, after all, they have fought so many battles together, except for the night attack on Shen Danbao, in every vicious battle, Sun Shiyong has followed Song Biao, and he has worked hard.

Talking about it, Sun Shiyong felt that the deepest memory in his life was the battle of Qiandongling, he felt that that time was the most painful, almost scared him to pee his pants, but since then, he feels that he is really a man, everyone has killed a lot of blood, and he has earned it in this life, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Hearing him say this, Song Biao also nodded again and again.

After waiting for a while, Song Biaocai and Sun Shiyong persuaded him: "Continue to learn more skills, maybe it won't be as simple as a battalion commander in the future." ”

Sun Shiyong looked very open, and said with a smile: "Big boss, we have this surname, we understand for ourselves, being able to touch the battalion commander can be regarded as a great virtue that has accumulated eight lifetimes on the ancestors, and they all rely on your light." A few days ago, we talked to Lao Guo Tou about this, we can be a battalion commander in this life, we are content, it's not that we don't grow up, we don't get motivated, this head is just such a virtue, we can't go up. Rather than continue to follow you with a dead face, it's better to be a little self-aware, in fact, what we want to do most is to be the commander of a guard company or something, that's what is called happiness. ”

Song Biao smiled, and did not continue to persuade, everyone has their own ambitions, and if they want to continue to climb up on the basis of Sun Shiyong, they will have to pay a lot of hardships. For the sake of the old brother, Song Biao will definitely take care of him, and always give him a battalion commander who can't fight, just do what he can in the back.

Song Biao is not very affectionate many times, even an indifferent and ruthless thing, killing people without blinking, thousands of bandits will kill when they say kill, but his feelings for his comrades-in-arms are true, especially a comrade-in-arms who has fought in the trenches, he will remember it for a lifetime.

This kind of feeling may only be understood by soldiers like them, but cannot be understood by others.

After experiencing it, you know what kind of feelings can hold your heart forever.

Anyway, he was holding these two jars of rice wine and drinking and talking, Lao Guo Tou also talked about some things in the business field during this time, he originally planned to plant a crop of wheat on the nearby land, but seeing that this war was imminent, he didn't dare to plant in the end, so he could only waste the field for another year.

Because he was too busy, the old Guo Tou called his two sons over to help, the younger son Guo Lixia helped in the Yufeng Xing rice shop, and the eldest son Guo Dachun was in charge of the affairs of the pawnshops.

Although Song Biao didn't have a few masters who really knew how to do business to help, the money was really earned, and 26,000 yuan was accumulated in his hands, just waiting for the war to end, it would be at least 12 million oceans.

In particular, the price of land in Shenyang City is not comparable to the fields in the Hunjiang River.

Song Biao's land deeds in Shenyang City and Dalian City add up to more than 1,000 acres, and there are more than 600 storefronts alone.

Song Biao also has the coal and iron franchises in Fushun, Benxi, Tieling, and Tonghua, as long as Xiao Yueben can be expelled from the Northeast, how much will the coal and iron franchises in Fushun and Benxi be worth together?

At this time, Song Biao was no longer very interested in making money, he had caught enough, and the key now was to protect the money, which was the basis for him to dominate the Kanto region in the future.

He also had a lot of guns and artillery, more than 50,000 rifles alone, 13,000 from the Russians, and 40,000 from the Ben. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to squeeze out the strength of the book, and at the very least, to ensure that the book cannot reach out to Shenyang.

If Ben stretched out his hand to Benxi and Fushun, his so-called coal and iron franchises would all be in vain.

Rice wine is not easy to get drunk, and it is also very drunk.

Sun Shiyong drank most of the two jars of rice wine alone, and soon got drunk on the kang, Song Biao went to sleep casually, rearranged Lao Guotou to go out to do errands again, and prepared to move the old nest to Fushun.

It is said that the decisive battle between Russia is imminent, even if Song Biao has decided to go all out to help Russia kill Xiao Yueben, but there are unforeseen circumstances, and no one can prevent it.

Song Biao determined that the new Manchurian Infantry Division would be stationed in Zhujiatun, 30 kilometers southeast of Shenyang, which was a secluded place surrounded by mountains, and the periphery was the rear position of the Russian First Army, and the spies of the army might not be able to carry out effective intelligence reconnaissance activities in that area.

At dawn the next day, Song Biao led the team to Zhujiatun officially.

Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin's dispatch order was to ask all units to arrive at Zhujiatun within three days to assemble, and the cavalry units had already arrived first, and Alexievich, who was temporarily transferred to the post of commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade. Colonel of the Brusilov cavalry.

Because it arrived early, the 1st Cavalry Brigade was starting to build the division headquarters, and requisitioned an earthen fort on the spot as a military garrison, and more than 6,000 cavalrymen were busy, enclosing and building horse sheds everywhere.

Song Biao did not know that this brigade commander was Alekseevich. Brusilov, he thought it would be Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky, so he went straight into the earthen fort with one of his infantry battalions, where the soldiers and junior officers did not know him, but seeing that he was a colonel, no one dared to stop him.

Entering the Tubaozi, Song Biao saw a colonel wearing a navy blue autumn uniform directing others to do things, this person was about fifty years old, very thin, with short gray hair, and a slightly upturned mustache that was slightly sparse, looking like a very quiet Russian [***] person, more like an old-fashioned traditional civil official.

When he saw this person, Song Biao felt very strange in his heart, he didn't know how a colonel could run to this place, and Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin hadn't said it before.

He took the initiative to walk over, and the other party looked at him in surprise, and both sides looked at each other in surprise for a while.

Song Biao saluted first: "Manchurian Infantry Colonel Be'o. Vladimir. Song was ordered by His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of the Far Eastern Army to form a new Manchurian Infantry Division at Zhujiatun. ”

The other party was suddenly taken aback at this time, and immediately saluted: "Far Eastern Army Cavalry Colonel Alexievich. Brusilov was instructed to report to you, sorry, I did not expect Colonel Beo to be ...... Asian, are you talking about yourself? ”

The corners of Song Biao's mouth slightly pulled a dissatisfied look, and he gently locked his eyebrows, but still shook hands with Colonel Brusilov's cavalry, and replied simply: "China!"

"Oh......!"

Alexievich. Cavalry Colonel Brusilov looked particularly embarrassed and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, although many people have mentioned Colonel Beo before, but no one has mentioned that you are a Russian general of Asian descent, so I didn't expect you to come for a while." I had just arrived in Manchuria from Russia a few days ago, and I did not have enough knowledge of the situation here, so I would like your understanding to receive a new order. ”

Song Biao also said "oh" and said: "It doesn't matter, I am only equivalent to an external officer in your country. Admiral Jomini is about the same, of course, it would be a bit presumptuous to compare my situation with that master of military doctrine, and I am only talking about this external surname. ”

Alexievich. Brusilov smiled vaguely and gently: "I think it is exactly the same situation, so I would also like to congratulate you on becoming an infantry colonel of our country, as well as on receiving the Imperial St. Joseph's Gold Medal of the First Class, which is the noblest award and honor for us, I think...... I also hope that you will cherish him as much as I do, and there is no doubt that you fully deserve such an honor. Prior to this, I had studied the standardized Beo tactics founded by you and bearing your name, which were very classic and perfect, with absolute restraint and perfect control of firepower. ”

When he said this, Brusilov also subconsciously glanced at the golden star on Song Biao's chest, and said that it was fake not to envy.

Song Biao bowed slightly, and his expression was very serious, because he knew that this Alexievich in front of him. Cavalry Colonel Brusilov was a tactical specialist, and in the whole of the First World War, the tactical change of the cavalry took place only once, and this time it was by Alexievich that the cavalry was changed. Brusilov presided.

This man was also considered one of the world's most famous commanders in World War I.

Song Biao could only say that after the decisive battle of Fengtian was postponed for two months, the most outstanding middle and high-ranking generals of the Tsarist Empire had gathered in the northeast one after another, where all the elite forces of the Russian army were gathered to try to fight to the death with the Russian army.

Fart.

The Supreme Front Commander couldn't even decide on such an obvious thing as shrinking the defensive line, how to fight this battle, sure enough, all declining empires start to decay from the top first, no wonder the legendary Great Revolution will break out all the way in Russia.

Song Biao vs. Alekseevich. Brusilov, the supreme commander of the Russian army in World War I, was still very interested, but he was a little surprised, and he didn't know why Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin sent a colonel.

Because the specific personnel arrangements will be decided by the General Staff of the Far East Army, in the end, who will arrive in Zhujiatun to fight with Song Biao, Song Biao is really not clear at all.

He first entered the earthen fort with Brusilov, in fact, before this morning, the villagers of Zhujiatun were still hiding from the battle here, but they were all expelled in less than half an hour, so that Zhujiatun was still in a panic.

Song Biao didn't care about those villagers for the time being, so he found a random room in the earthen fort and sat down, and asked Brusilov: "Why do you let a colonel come over?" ”

This is a problem that can be very simple, or it can be complicated, a division has two colonels at the same time, and even in the Russian army, where ranks and establishments are chaotic, such a situation rarely occurs, right?
