General Alexander Vasilyevich Samsolov was originally a cavalry officer. Because of his outstanding performance in the Russo-Japanese War, he was considered to be "resourceful" and "energetic". Stimulated by Kuropatkin, the commander-in-chief of the Far East Army in the Russo-Japanese War, the Tsar and the Imperial Army leaders believed that this battle against China must have a "courageous" commander-in-chief. After the Russian-Japanese War, after the appraisal of the "Higher Appraisal Committee" with 337 generals and 4,307 officers, Samsolov was considered a senior Russian officer with excellent capabilities. Originally, he would be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the 2nd Army in World War I, and then he was defeated and committed suicide in the Battle of Tannenburg at the beginning of the war, but now he has become the commander-in-chief of the Far East Army, trying to cleanse the shame of Russia's defeat during the Russo-Japanese War.

No. 33, Xidazhi Street, Nangang District, Harbin is the headquarters of the Amur Military Region outside Tsarist Russia. This building, which was originally burned in 2006, has now been rebuilt. The earlier style of combining Chinese and Western style has been completely changed to a pure Russian style, with clear water brick walls, brick-built line feet, window foreheads, window sills, waistlines and even corners of the walls. There are plastering decorations everywhere, and the unique Russian zigzag honeycombs and concave corner piers under the eaves have an indescribable cold-blooded and harsh harsh under the sun.￥∞,ww≯w.

In the headquarters, General Samsolov threw the plan of the Chief of Staff to wait for the Sino-Japanese decisive battle and then the decisive battle aside. He only looked at the generals present and said firmly: "The last time we retreated from Fengtian. This time we must enter Fengtian before the Japanese broke through the Chinese defense line. We will regain the glory lost by the Russian army in Manchuria. We must also open up more land for His Majesty." He said this and asked Lieutenant General Dmitryev, Commander-in-Chief of the Central and Eastern Railway Guard Team: "Dmitryev, can we trust your intelligence?"

"Of course." Lieutenant General Dmitryev nodded calmly: "The squadron is deploying defenses on the south side of Fuyu, ninety miles south of Harbin. They have about six divisions, about 80,000 people, and the trenches are dug very deeply, as if they want to stop us there."

When people heard that there were only six divisions to deal with, they couldn't help laughing. Even without the six Siberian troops, the seven divisions of the Amur Military Region were enough to crush them. General Samsolov did not smile at all. He looked at the emperor's relatives, Lieutenant General Horwat, the director of the Central East Railway Administration, "Mr. Director. The railway workers will not strike again, right?"

"No! My people are already staring at them. The Chinese in the city and students from Harbin University have all gone south. The situation is better than before." Lieutenant General Horwat smiled. The Russo-Japanese War and the subsequent workers' strikes made him embarrassed. This time, he would never allow another strike incident to occur when war against China.

"Okay, gentlemen, I order the Far East Army to speed up and occupy Fengtian!" General Samsolov stood up and said, then turned around and looked at the large portrait of Nicholas II hanging above his head and shouted loudly: "Your Emperor, Your Majesty the Queen, Russian Empire, Ula!"

The commander-in-chief took the lead in calling Ula, and the people sitting there had to get up and shouting Ula together. However, Lieutenant General Kamv, the commander of the Second Corps of the Far East Army, had a sneer on his face when he called Ula. As a cavalry general who fought with Samsolov ten years ago in Fengtian, he believed that those in the High-level Appraisal Committee could all be taken to shoot. Samsolov, who could not even command an effective army, now commanded two legions, which is simply a tragedy for Russia.

Time and space have changed with the rise of China. General Samsolov, who should have died in Tannenburg due to unfavorable command, is now full of energy. The next day, he ignored the Chief of Staff's dissuasion and ordered the headquarters to move out of Harbin and move onto the train. According to him, he was going to advance to Fengtian with the troops.

The wheels rolled, and the first one to arrive in Fuyu was the First Siberian Legion, followed by the two infantry divisions and cavalry divisions of the Amur Military Region. However, after more than half a month of preparation, the entire city of Fuyu was full of trenches ten kilometers south. According to the cavalry detection, the trenches of the squadron stretched from west to east and stretched for more than 20 kilometers from north to south, with a depth of ten kilometers from north to south, and both sides were winding to the Songhua River. In order to prevent the Russian gunboats from surrounding the rear road, the river surface was covered with mines. On the main position in the north, the squadron's firepower was extremely fierce. The troops' mortars, grenade launchers and machine guns were enough to block all the Russian attacks. In addition, although their field guns were only 75mm guns, their range and power were not inferior to Russian guns. Especially under the calibration of airships, the accuracy of the artillery was much greater than that of the Russian army.

Admiral Samsolov, who arrived at the front, saw the huge and bloated airship of the Chinese without using a telescope. He was angry when he thought that the thing was German goods. Although he and Yang Rui were on the same front during the Russo-Japanese War, and at that time he had a deep affection for the brave Chinese who defended the back of the Russian army, this person should never be with Russia's enemy Germany.

After passing the Rain River Railway Bridge, the train traveled another twenty kilometers. When it was Fuyu Railway Station, Samsolov saw that the commander of the First Corps, Misichenko, was waiting there. Like the commander-in-chief of the commander-in-chief of General Samsolov, the appraisal of the Higher Appraisal Committee also promoted the commander of the cavalry army, Misichenko, after the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian army was completely rectified, no longer taking divisions as the core unit, but still using army as the core unit. Normally, each army had three divisions, and each army had one hundred and zero.

Eight large and small artillery guns, sixty-four Maxim machine guns, with a total strength of 48,000, which is much larger than the previous army with only two divisions of 24,000. Now Misichenko is commanding the First Corps of the Far Eastern Army, with two armies under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of nearly 100,000. Kamv commanded the Second Corps with similar forces, and the remaining part is the original Outer Amur Military Region, which is more than 22,000 people from the road protection team, but these people are basically protecting the road and do not participate in front-line combat.

This time the war against China began, according to the view of Army Minister Sukhomlinov, the Irkutsk Military Region just needs to mobilize existing troops in terms of the Amur military flag. More than 200,000 Russian troops are enough to become the last straw that will overwhelm the camel. But this is not the case.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese are much harder to deal with than we thought." After arriving at the city headquarters, Misichenko introduced: "They set up their positions on the north side of the Songhua River because of the blockage of the Songhua River. My soldiers were difficult to attack their flanks, and the cavalry divisions could not play a role; and if they attacked head-on... Although their divisions had fewer artillery than us, those small-caliber mortars were enough to suppress my troops' charges, and they also had many machine guns..."

"Where is the map?" said General Samsonov. As soon as he opened his mouth, the staff officers next to him sent the map over. According to the sign on the map, there were more than six divisions in the defense line of nearly thirty Russian miles. He looked up at Misichenko and said, "What's going on? Where did the Chinese get the troops?"

"Your Excellency, I'm also surprised by this, but it's certain that there are no more than six divisions in front of us, but twelve divisions or even more." Misichenko smiled helplessly and said, "Let's not forget that this is China. The king has been here for so many years, and every village has his soldiers." Misichenko is still used to calling Yang Rui the king, not Yang. This magical yellow-skinned monkey is no longer the red beard with only one division like before.

"If the Chinese had twelve divisions or more, they would have to wait for the Second Army to come up." Samsonov said helplessly, "Didn't Japan cause them some trouble? They actually have so many troops arranged here."

"Japan only wants to go to Beijing to capture the Chinese emperor. Their more than a dozen divisions in Lushun were all for landing." Misichenko said, as a cavalry general, his battlefield vision was broader than that of ordinary people.

"Maybe we can detour the rear of the Chinese from the flank with the help of the navy." Admiral Samsonov knew that the twelve divisions could not be solved in a short time. He saw Songyuan on the Songhua River ninety miles west of the map. He thought of another way. "Maybe we can do it from here..."

"Maybe," Misichenko said perfunctorily, "but the detection report said there were mines in the river. And there were Chinese people stationed in Songyuan, and the number of people was unknown. Their positions were arranged on the other side of the river, so we had no way to determine how many of them there. I think the best way is to break through their defense line from the front, and when the Second Army arrives, concentrating its forces can completely defeat them!"

Missichenko was still concerned about victory, but for General Samsonov, who was in the position of commander-in-chief of the Far East Army, in addition to victory, he also paid attention to time. It is obviously better to set up a formation on the opposite bank of the river than to set up a formation on the other side of the river. At least as long as the front can withstand his own attack, you will not be afraid of being detoured on the flank. According to the experience in the Russo-Japanese War, flank detours and counter-detours are the most consuming forces. The twelve divisions in front of him are probably the last force that China can afford.

Admiral Samsonov considered the lack of military strength in the Revival Army, but for the Northeast War Zone, unless the Russian army doubled its number, the Northeast War Zone, which already has 55 divisions, will not be at a disadvantage in terms of military strength. However, if Russia wants to increase its troops in the Far East again, it can only draw troops from the south or the west. But even in the nearest south, it will take more than 40 days to transport troops, while in the west, it will take more than 70 days on the road of light. With the mobilization before departure, rest after arrival, and allocation of materials and ammunition, it will take no less than three months to issue orders from Petersburg to enter the battlefield to fight.

Because of this, under the urges of the Tsar, the National Defense Committee decided to only use the power from the Far East to hit China, rather than to draw troops from other places. After all, the current strength of the Far East is basically the same as the field forces in the early days of the Russo-Japanese War, and the squadrons fought on both sides. However, if they could not win, the honor of the Russian Army...

Admiral Samsolov remained silent for a while. His eyes were not so much as looking at the map. Seeing his muscles twitching on his face, Misichenko suddenly said lightly: "Actually there is another way," he pointed to the east of Songhua River and said: "We can first occupy the elm trees east, and then go south along the Songhua River. Jilin is a hundred kilometers south, where there is a railway to Changchun..."

Lieutenant General Misichenko spoke of Kuanchengzi's new term, and was still a little uncomfortable, but when he mentioned Jilin, Samsolov reached out to stop him and said, "But there is no railway from here to Geely. Although there are rivers,... I think our marching speed is no different from that of a turtle. And what's strange is that enough Chinese laborers cannot be recruited in the rear." The commander-in-chief shook his head vigorously. "The Japanese will soon land in Zhili. Before they capture the Chinese emperor, or before they break through the defense of China's southern line, we must occupy Fengtian. This is the order given to me by His Majesty the Emperor! Tell your soldiers to attack immediately and attack forever. The Chinese do not have so many soldiers to stop us!"

"Yes! General Samsolov!" Samsolov's voice became louder and louder. When he heard that this was the order of His Majesty the Emperor, Lieutenant General Misichenko immediately stood at attention and shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor Ula!"

"Let's start. I'm going to hear the sound of cannons on the front line, do you know, I'm going to hear the sound of cannons!" shouted General Samsolov.

"Yes, General. As you wish." Missichenko shouted loudly. After answering, he went to the Chief of Staff angrily. After scolding him, the sound of cannons on the front line finally came.

Russian artillery shells hit the trench on the front line, and the mud covered with tender grass was stirred up by the explosion, and dust splashed in the smoke. One crater after another was highlighted in the telescope, but Lieutenant General Bei Shou had no intention of paying attention to the front line at all. He did not come here to observe the situation of the war.

He simply glanced at the front line and looked at Li Liezu, the acting commander of the 6th Army, who was still gloomy next to him, although Li Liezu, Liezu, was not from a regular military academy. However, he fought the most battles among the generals, and was smart, so he never got down on promotion. The only drawback is that his official position had the word "dai" in front of him, so he was laughed at as the "dai" commander. After the founding of the country, he took the position of the army commander and just removed the word "dai". The army expanded to the army group again, so there was another word "dai" in front of his official position. Fortunately, among the commanders of the army group, except for three, the rest of the other positions were all "dai".

"Comrade Liezu, Brother Liezu..." Bei Shoutong handed a cigarette on it, and then smiled, "The General Staff has no choice, otherwise I wouldn't have come here to tell you this."

"It's useless to call it!" Li Liezu waved his hand and pushed Bei Shoutong's cigarette away, "You'd better remove me. I won't fight this battle!"

"How can I not fight?" Bei Shoutong pushed the cigarette back again, "There are only a few commanders of the army in total. If you leave, who will take care of the 6th army? You can't let those boys who haven't even grown up yet come."

"I still say the same thing. You can't send armored divisions or planes, but you can't order me to retreat!" Li Liezu was extremely stubborn, "I'm here to fight, not to retreat! We have been retreating for more than four months since the war started. The soldiers asked me: 'Sir, when will we not retreat? Sir, when will we fight back?' I really don't know how to agree, I... I... I'm speechless! The location was your general election, and the blitzkrieg was also what your general secretary said, and he also said to give Big Nose a happy and wipe them out! Hehe... It's good now, I actually want to retreat, and retreat to Fengtian... You! Bei Shoutong, I tell you! Even if the Prime Minister comes in person, I still say this. I want to withdraw first!"

Li Liezu was born as a factory guard team eleven years ago. He was a hunter. It was a ancestral tomb that could reach this point in his life. But the more humble he was, the more grateful he was. He was grateful to Yang Rui before, and then after knowing what a country and nation was, he was thinking about marching a body and dying on the battlefield. He had fought against Japan before, because the plan was formulated early, and various training and communication were also carried out early. Everyone knows that fighting Japan is like this, and there is less resistance to retreat.

But the Russian war was a backup plan, and the generals were on the battlefield and had no time to hold meetings to communicate. The most important thing was that the General Staff's plan was to go back on his word. He wanted to wipe out the Russian army in the Songhua River and Lalin River plains, but in a few days the General Staff's plan turned into a gradual retreat, and even retreated to Tieling north of Fengtian. How could this allow Li Liezu, who was dedicated to the country and was full of death, accept it? Even if he retreated to Changchun, he could not stand it, let alone retreat to Fengtian! He received this order to resign, because he was going home to farm. The political commissar was useless to persuade Qi Qingyuan, and it was useless to explain it in person. Anyway, he was determined not to retreat to Fengtian. After all, he said that he wanted to withdraw first.

In fact, the plan for the Russian blitzkrieg is indeed a joke in the past. However, it is not because the technology cannot be used as a tank. There is no need to explain in detail. Diving bombing can be done by those wooden planes. It is just to pull to a certain height and then dive down at a certain angle. However, it is difficult for wooden planes to withstand the tension of the flattening force after diving. Generally, the wings are broken and the body is disintegrated. However, the evil spirit uses vanadium steel as beams and aluminum alloy as wings. As long as it does not dive for 85 degrees and 90 degrees, the body can still withstand this tension.

The real joke about the blitzkrieg against Russia is that encirclement and annihilation of the Russian army will inevitably affect the historical process of Tsarist Russia's participation in World War I. This issue was first raised by Xie Zhangtai. He actually considered this issue for a long time. After the Russian war, the Russian army had been rectified several times. Now it has recovered a lot of morale. If the Russian army is defeated again, will Russia still be able to support Serbia in the face of Austro-Hungary threats to Serbia? Xie Zhangtai believes that it will not.

By Yang Rui's point of view, and after his integration with rich diplomatic knowledge, the European War would be ignited like this: First, the Grand Duke Ferdinand of Austro-Hungary was killed. This man was the nephew of the Austro-Hungary Emperor. Although he was the heir, he married a maid and was not favored by the emperor or most nobles. Moreover, he was also a dissident who strongly opposed the use of force against Serbia.

When the Grand Duke Ferdinand is killed, Austro-Hungary will definitely retaliate against Serbia, and Russia will definitely protect Serbia. Austro-Hungary declares war on Serbia, and Russia will declare war on Austro-Hungary. Once Russia decides to declare war, the army will naturally mobilize, but once Russia mobilizes, then Germany's Schliffen plan cannot be implemented. This plan was originally intended to quickly defeat France in the blank time of Russia's mobilization. Now the Russian army mobilizes, there are two choices before William II. Either implement the Schliffen plan immediately, or sit and wait for Russia and France to fight. With the German nature, it is impossible to sit and wait and wait for death, so once Russia mobilizes, Germany will definitely declare war, and the next thing will be natural. France declares war on Germany, Austro-Hungary, and Britain declares war on Germany, Austro-Hungary.

In short, after the Grand Duke Ferdinand was assassinated, there were two points to make the war break out. One was that Austro-Hungary declared war on Serbia, and the other was that Russia mobilized the general mobilization of Austro-Hungary in the face of Austro-Hungary’s declaration of war (after Austro-Hungary suffered a loss in 1871, there was no mobilization of that country, not a general mobilization). The former was because he did not know what the content of the German-Austrian alliance agreement was, and it was difficult to determine whether the Austro-Hungary would dare to declare war on Serbia; the latter was that Russia would carry out a general mobilization, provided that the Tsar and his ministers who had full confidence in the Russian army believed that Russia could profit from the war. If the Russian army was completely wiped out by the Fuxing Army in the Northeast, it would be difficult to decide whether the Tsar was confident of going to war.

Therefore, with Yang Rui's intervention, the General Staff's strategy made new adjustments. First, the first thing to do in Russia is to let observers of Germany and Austria see the disadvantages of the Russian army to determine their confidence in Russia's war. Second, the second is to allow the Russian army to continue to win "victory" and retreat step by step to near Chenyang. This will not only make the Tsar's confidence burst, but also make Russia complacent and not mobilize the troops in the west and south. At the same time, after Ferdinand was assassinated, China will begin to seek peace with Russia to make its attention move westward.

Within one and a half months of Ferdinand being assassinated, and within two and a half months of war in history, the Fuxing Army will retreat step by step, retreating to Changchun the first and a half months, and retreating to Tieling the next month. If other troops, such as the Russian army, retreated step by step, the morale would have collapsed, the entire army would have fled, but the political commissar system of the Fuxing Army could make the army stable and complete when retreating step by step. But what if the war still does not break out in two and a half months? When will it not wait anymore? Yang Rui could not confirm this problem in the General Staff.

A butterfly in Beijing flapped its wings, and Europe would roll up a storm, but it can also be said that a butterfly in Beijing flapped its wings, and the originally rolled up storm in Europe disappeared. From the beginning of the journey, Yang Rui felt that there were too many storms he had rolled up: Cixi was stabbed, Guangxu was in power, Congress held a meeting, Japanese army invaded Liao, and Russian army went south. All kinds of changes made him less and less sure of the future history. In his perception, if he was a butterfly that did not belong to this time and space, he would not have to survive. He flapped his wings, but the more he flapped his wings, the more difficult it would be to survive under the changes of history. In the fight against strangulation, history began to be broken, time and space became extremely confused. He could no longer see what the future would be like.
