Chapter 76 Russia's Invitation to Fight the Japanese Army Again
Song Biao had been away from Shenyang for two months. When he saw Lieutenant Colonel Sheyensky's Kuban Cossack cavalry again at the port of Hunjiang River, he couldn't help but recall many of his memories of the Battle of Heigoutai. and adventure.
Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky is still a typical Cossack hereditary officer. His always clean-shaven cheeks and two thick upturned mustaches are one of their most classic symbols, and the Saint Anne saber and decoration on his chest The luxurious ancestral silver dagger has never been changed, except for the dark black cavalry general system, and the silver medal on the chest is decorated with the white knight, the symbol of the Romanov family.
After the two met, Song Biao dismounted first, and Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky also dismounted and saluted.
Although Song Biao, a colonel of the Manchurian infantry, had an additional military rank in the Russian army, he was still a colonel. Times had changed, and it was Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky's turn to salute him. This really made Song Biao feel that the world was changing so fast. .
The two of them can be regarded as old "friends" to a certain extent. After Song Biao returned the gift, he continued to step forward and shake hands with Lieutenant Colonel Sheyensky. Just as he was about to speak, Lieutenant Colonel Sheyensky already opened his mouth and sighed: "Song Biao." , with your talent and enthusiasm, you should feel lonely living in this second-line defense zone far away from the war, right?"
These words really spoke to Song Biao's mind.
Song Biao shook hands vigorously in response to Lieutenant Colonel Sheyensky's conjecture and said: "Yes, but in order to fight better, we always need some time for more soldiers to receive the most rigorous training."
Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky proudly raised the index finger of his left hand, raised his chin, and praised the war with great admiration and confidence: "This is the Lord Vladimir Song that I know. As a colonel of the Manchurian infantry, You, you, cannot stop launching a fierce attack on the war. And I am here to ask you to return to the battlefield and launch the final decisive offensive against the Japanese army with our Cossack spirit. And this is Mishuchenko Your Majesty the General asked me to convey the invitation to you!"
Facing the invitation to go to the battlefield again, Song Biao felt a surge of yearning in his heart, but he knew the price of going to the battlefield again.
Sure enough, he would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
Song Biao patted Lieutenant Colonel Sheyenisky on the shoulder like an old friend and said: "Let's go to our Sanhebao camp first. I have prepared a sumptuous dinner there."
Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky did not expect to be able to persuade Song Biao to return to the Fengtian battlefield in a short time. He smiled happily and said: "Okay, then let me see your real troops."
"kupirpraseodymium!"
There are many ways to express invitations in Russian. Song Biao chose the most serious and solemn formal words and invited Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky to go to the Sanhebao camp with him.
Naturally, Lieutenant Colonel Seyenitsky was a real distinguished guest. Song Biao specially invited Denikin, Major Legovich and other Russian generals and instructors over. It was precisely because Lieutenant Colonel Seyenitsky was here. It was not convenient for Song Biao to ask Xue Changqing about the business issues in Fengtian, so he could only put the discussion aside for the time being.
After the dinner, Song Biao knew that Lieutenant Colonel Sheyensky had many things to discuss, so he arranged for him to return to the camp in Tonghua County to rest, and invited Lieutenant Colonel Sheyensky to his office in the county for negotiation. .
It was already very late. Even with a dim kerosene lamp lit, Lieutenant Colonel Sieyensky still could not clearly see the frontline combat deployment diagram on the wall. Sitting down in front of this exquisite mahogany desk, the two of them looked like old men.
When they met a friend and knew that the other party had a heavy addiction to cigarettes, Song Biao carefully pushed the brown copper ashtray on the table and took out a box of iron from the Kazan region of Russia for Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky.
Canned cigarettes.
Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky had a special interest in this local cigarette. He lowered his head to welcome Song Biao and struck a lit match. His cheeks, which looked livid because he had shaved off his beard, turned a little pale in the flickering light of the fire.
War, like tobacco, is a demon that makes men addicted, sucking their vitality until they are consumed to death before they wake up.
Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky has light yellow eyebrows that are much longer than ordinary people, and a pair of deep green eyes. In such a dim environment, he looks like a middle-aged general with a certain gloomy temperament.
,that's the truth.
He was as gloomy as a pool of ink-black water.
When he deeply inhaled a stream of gray-white smoke into his body, at this moment, his cheeks became slightly rosy, and his whole person seemed to have gained a little relief from the cruel high pressure.
Song Biao calmly and keenly observed the once unfriendly Cossack cavalry lieutenant colonel. In fact, after a few months, they looked back on the continuous and eternal glorious victories, as well as the months of difficult torture and destruction.
, each other realized that the other could be considered a comrade-in-arms who had experienced adversity together.
After waiting in silence for a moment, Song Biao asked: "How is the situation on the front line?"
Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky complained dissatisfied: "It's simply terrible. Although you have made some progress here, inexplicable riots have broken out in Russia. You simply can't understand that those stupid guys are here."
What are you thinking? Those vulgar farmers and workers are simply the stupidest traitors. Will their riots at this time really cost those of us on the front line our lives? Before you leave, although our morale was very high,
Now it's a different story. It's so bad. Our soldiers can barely eat. When we need spring uniforms, those beasts at the rear shipped us a large number of women's coats. This is simply an unprecedented insult. I even feel
This empire is going to collapse. Those illiterate and lowly poor people who don't know what honor is are helping the Japanese. They will kill us. This is simply a bad thing that all soldiers on the front line know. Whatever we need, those idiots will
Find a way to give us some garbage that has absolutely no purpose."
"Is that so...?"
Song Biao also sighed helplessly, he was really helpless in dealing with these matters.
Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky continued to complain: "The worst thing is that His Majesty the Emperor has no understanding of this at all, and still issued many orders asking us to fight for a decisive battle before the navy, hit the Japanese army hard, and drive them out of Manchuria. I
and General Mishuchenko both believe that this is a very bad order, and we have no possibility of refuting it. We can only execute this kind of order which is almost stupider, I say Song. You are always very leisurely here.
Well, if you also feel that you have nothing to do, then accept the invitation of His Excellency General Mishuchenko, I am afraid we really need your help now."
Song Biao didn't know how to answer. He even felt embarrassed and conflicted because he personally longed for war. He had always been so stubborn in believing that a man's value could only be revealed on the battlefield.
He is passionate about war, and he is passionate about defeating any opponent with guns and artillery. Especially a once-in-a-century war like the Russo-Japanese War, it is like a stage carefully prepared for him.
He has such passion and passion, but he can't show it.
While thinking calmly, he flicked the cigarette in his hand on the tin tin box, making a faint popping sound in the silent night of the military camp. Every sound made Lieutenant Colonel Sieyensky feel impatient.
After waiting anxiously for a moment, Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky couldn't help but asked Song Biao: "Song, if you need some conditions and help, His Excellency General Mishuchenko will be happy to give you some special support.
."
Song Biao shook his head and said: "In a real war, materials always come second. Let's talk about some new news on the front line first. I think what I know may have lagged behind the development of the situation.
."
Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky said: "Our navy is about to arrive, but this fleet has been drifting at sea for two hundred and twenty days. I really don't know if they are still capable of fighting the Japanese army. According to my friends,
The most common thing in his unit is suicide. Not only the soldiers commit suicide. Even the petty officers and the deputy captain have committed suicide. The guy's mental state is obviously not good. He talks nonsense in the letter. Damn it. Even if you don't talk about the navy,
The situation of our army is also very bad. On the surface, it has increased its strength to 400,000. It has also adopted your suggestion and established two more army groups as reserve forces. However, in terms of supplies, everything is simply terrible. Guns and ammunition may still be missing.
Not the biggest problem, food and all kinds of weird diseases are the problem. Almost everyone is worried about domestic riots, really, I think everyone is in a terrible mood, this is simply what I have encountered
The worst war ever."
Only then did Song Biao light the cigarette in his hand, smoke it calmly, and think about it. After a long period of time, he reminded Lieutenant Colonel Sheyensky: "War is like this, Lieutenant Colonel, do you think
Are the situation of the Japanese much better than yours? Maybe in terms of navy, your situation is indeed very bad, maybe you also have some problems in terms of morale, but I believe that the Japanese are not doing very well either."
Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky said: "The worst problem is that His Majesty and those guys in the palace know nothing. No matter how Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin explains, those guys who have never seen war will be rude.
They blamed all the reasons on the incompetence of the Commander-in-Chief, and couldn't wait to remove him and replace him with one of their own to take command. They even thought that everything was so easy, no matter how many problems there were on the front line, the Japanese army would not be eliminated.
It's as easy as we smoke this pack of cigarettes, damn it."
Song Biao spread his hands helplessly and said: "This is the real trouble. We have an old saying, 'To fight foreign countries, we must first make peace at home.' In Russian, it means that if you want to fight foreign countries, you must first ensure domestic peace."
unity and stability.”
Lieutenant Colonel Sheyensky said: "Song, we urgently need a victory now. Even a small victory can restore the confidence of the soldiers. This is very important. Take your infantry division and return to the battlefield with me.
, I think Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin will definitely welcome you with open arms. Before coming here, His Excellency General Mishuchenko personally submitted an application for your transfer to the Commander-in-Chief, and the Commander-in-Chief also once
I agreed, but changed my mind after being stopped by that bastard Madninov. If you are willing to return to the battlefield, even if you go back alone to serve as the staff officer of His Excellency General Mishuchenko, this is simply good news.
.You know, the general has always admired your talent. There is something about you that we don’t understand, that is, you understand the Japanese. You simply understand them better than the Japanese. Even I am convinced now that this is the way to win this war.
The key to war."
Song Biao nodded without denying it and said: "I need to think about it for a while and discuss this matter with my subordinates. If I want to return to the battlefield, I think it is best for me to bring two infantry regiments with me."
of troops. And continue to bring the engineer regiment and baggage regiment with the expertise of our Manchurian Infantry Division. If my subordinates are not willing to return to the battlefield, then I really can't help. After all, this is not our Chinese's war, although
We want this to be our war."
Aware of this glimmer of hope, Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky immediately added: "Song, before coming here, I actually had a meeting with the Commander-in-Chief. He said that you have very high war talents and talents.
Far better than what he did when he was your age. He just thinks that you lack the will to continue fighting on the front line for the empire. If you are willing to return to the battlefield with the Manchurian Infantry Division, he personally welcomes it. I believe. If
If you are willing to return to the battlefield in Fengtian with me, I believe that His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief and His Excellency General Mishuchenko will give you all the support you need. You can rest assured that I will personally do my best to help.
You. You are now a colonel, and my Cossack cavalry must obey your command. Don’t you, my friend?”
In the face of everyone's desire and admiration, Song Biao also had a special kind of vanity. To be fair, the fact that an Asian soldier can be recognized by the Russian army in this era and on this battlefield is enough to illustrate his value.
Of course, all this is actually based on his proficiency in Russian language and Russian culture, just like the Chinese people's special love for Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. If he does not understand Russian and has not read almost all Russian classic literature and poetry,
, cannot casually chat with those high-ranking Russian generals who were born into noble families, cannot use Russian war history and war theories to explain his operational concepts, and he will definitely not receive such high attention and praise from the Tsarist Russian Far East Army.
The Russo-Japanese War was a good stage and a good vanity fair, which allowed Song Biao and his troops to gain a lot. Even an unprecedented gain.
Song Biao didn't know how to answer for a moment. After finishing the Tsarist cigarette in his hand, he restrained himself and put the end of the cigarette out in the copper ashtray.
The lieutenant colonel said: "Give me two days. Maybe tomorrow, we can seriously discuss some more in-depth issues."
Lieutenant Colonel Sheyenisky opened his hands with regret and sighed: "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. By the way, tell me about your recent situation. I heard that you purchased a lot of land titles in the Fengtian area.
The man Turvanier was drinking with me a few days ago. He said that he helped you deal with the Fushun coal mine. He said that with our help, you had bought the thirty-year franchise of the coal and iron mines in Fushun. I
Remember that place, it was a very good open-pit coal mine with a huge scale. I think after this war is over, you will definitely make a lot of money, enough to support your troops. Right, this is very important, isn't it?"
Song Biao did not deny it and said: "Yes, that is very important."
Lieutenant Colonel Sheyenisky said: "I just want to tell you something. That guy Stessel robbed a large number of treasures from your royal palace during the Boxer Rebellion Incident. His wife is selling these things in Harbin. I
There is a friend who is very familiar with his wife, and Tuignier said that you seem to be very interested in these things. If you really want it, it is very simple, as long as I send a telegram to my friend, he will
Buy it for you."
Song Biao asked: "How much does that lady cost?"
Lieutenant Colonel Seyenisky said: "She is a very contradictory woman. On the one hand, she claims that they are all treasures of your country's royal family. On the other hand, she says that she is in a hurry for money, so she only needs 600,000 rubles. Who knows whether it is true or false?"
If you want it, I think you can buy them all for only 400,000 rubles. She said she was in a hurry for money, didn't she?"
Song Biao said: "I have a subordinate recruiting people in Harbin, but he may not have so much money."
Lieutenant Colonel Sheyensky said: "It doesn't matter, I can help you. My friend works at Daosheng Bank in Harbin. He can definitely lend you a huge amount of money."
Song Biao said: "That's good, let's just settle it."
You might be able to buy a batch of fake goods with 400,000 rubles, but this possibility is not high. Everyone knows that that bastard Stessel robbed a large amount of jewelry during the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, and the goods are still somewhat valuable.
Of course, Song Biao would also make it clear to Zhao Tingzhu in Harbin and ask him to find an antique dealer to help identify it.
After sending Lieutenant Colonel Sheyensky to rest, Song Biao did not fall asleep. He had many issues to think about this night. He was very confident in himself because he had thoroughly studied the deployment of the front line and jointly
As history progresses, he can even guess every step of Dashanyan's subsequent plans.
If he is willing, he can completely reverse the Fengtian Battle and defeat the main force of the Japanese army in one battle.
If this is really the outcome, then in the next ten years, China will not have to worry about the pitiful strength of the Japanese Army, but how will it deal with the Tsarist Empire after the Army defeats it?
This is really an unknown.
In the silent night, in a large courtyard of a house in the northern district of Tonghua County, far away from the battlefield of Fengtian, Song Biao kept lighting the dim kerosene lamp in his office, calmly thinking about all the possibilities that followed.
This war also caused very serious damage to Russia. With the outbreak of the domestic revolution and the intensification of competition and war preparations among European allies, even if Russia won a great victory in the Battle of Fengtian, it would actually be difficult to continue to carry out major offensives in the Northeast in the future.
expansion of scale.
In the entire international world, even if the Japanese Army is defeated, the British and American camps will not really give up their interests in the Northeast and their determination to check and balance Russia. If the situation continues to deteriorate like this, not only will the Japanese army continue to benefit from competition with Russia, but the Manchu Qing regime will even
It can also get support from Britain and the United States to a certain extent, and this support may also be extended to Song Biao.
The most important results may be three points. First, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses; second, Japan was unable to continue to expand its influence to the entire Kanto region, and at most it guaranteed its rights and interests in North Korea, but was unable to set foot in the Northeast; third
, Britain and the United States must jump on the stage and negotiate directly with Russia.
As for the Tsarist Empire's delusion of creating a yellow Tsarist Russia, that is simply a delusion unless the Tsarist Russian Empire expels tens of millions of Northeasterners from Kanto or even kills them all.
The Russians would do such a shameless thing, but they would never have the chance.
After weighing it in his mind, Song Biao increasingly felt that it would be a good thing to annihilate the Japanese Army in advance during the Russo-Japanese War, so he used the Russians to fight the Japanese to the end and then defeat the Japanese Army.
In this process, Song Biao believed that his gains would be astonishing, and the best result he hoped to achieve was "Japan has no army and Russia has no navy." This would be the ending to end the entire Russo-Japanese War.
Call it the most embarrassing situation!
