After Lao Maozi was all put into battle, it brought a lot of pressure to Ren Chao and the others, but a cavalry suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain here, and this cavalry was impressively waving the banner of the Tiger Army.

The number of this cavalry was not too large, only a hundred people. But even this cavalry of more than 100 people is not something that the current Cossack cavalry can withstand. Not to mention that at this time, these old Maozi had already suffered heavy losses, and they were forced to dismount and fight. Therefore, when the cavalry of the Tiger Army came to kill them, these Cossack cavalry had not time to climb on horseback, and their heads were already cut off by the cavalry of the Tiger Army who rushed over.

Soon more than a hundred Cossack cavalry all turned into cold corpses on the ground, and the cavalry general of the Tiger Ben Army led by him rushed to Ren Chao, knelt down on one knee and said loudly, "The lowly rescue is late, so the commander is frightened." ”

This person is Wu Meng, the head of the cavalry regiment who came to Jilin with Ren Chao, it turned out that Ren Chao had to run out on a whim to spy on the military situation, Wu Meng got the news, he was shocked, especially when he saw that Ren Chao had not come back for so long, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he ordered a team of cavalry to rush to respond. At that time, the cavalry in front of Ren Chao was not Lao Maozi's Cossack cavalry at all, but Wu Meng and others. Ren Chaotong summoned a team of infantry to be responsible for blocking this cavalry, but when they met, they found that it was their own people, so naturally they didn't fight. However, Ren Chao hadn't played well at that time, so he informed Wu Meng and others through the guò system not to come over yet. Wu Meng was naturally very obedient, so he could only hide in the distance and secretly observe the situation here, and when he saw that the situation was a little bad, he immediately led his troops out. Poor Cossack cavalry, hearing the silence, thought that the enemy cavalry had fled.

This time, Ren Chao was too addicted, and thirteen people killed more than 60 old Maozi one after another, and he only paid the price of two minor injuries.

After the group made peace, they immediately returned to Jilin City, in the Jilin General's Mansion. Ren Chao convened an emergency military meeting.

"According to the information we have so far, there are about 80,000 Russian troops outside the city, of which there are more than 20,000 Cossack cavalry, and the rest are infantry. In addition, in addition to Lao Maozi's army, there are 20,000 or 30,000 rebels fighting with the Russian army, but the combat effectiveness of these rebels is really not flattering, so it can be ignored for the time being. At the beginning of the meeting, Zhou Tai briefly introduced the general situation of the enemy army.

"What is the state of equipment in the Russian army? Have you all figured out this time? Ren Chao sat on the main seat and couldn't help but ask.

"The equipment situation, at present, most of the Russian infantry has been reequipped with the latest Russian Mosin Nagant rifles. But before the war, the regular army of the Russian army in the Far East was less than 100,000 people, and the emergency military mobilization was carried out only before the war. The army has expanded to about 200,000 people, but due to insufficient preparation, there are still many Russian troops who can only temporarily use old rifles. In terms of heavy weapons, the Russian army in the entire Far East has only about 150 artillery pieces of various types, and the number of heavy machine guns is even smaller, which can almost be described as a handful, and there are no light machine guns. Zhou Tai replied loudly. (The above number jù comes from Du Niang, which is from the Russo-Japanese War.) The military strength of the Russian army in the Far East, if it goes wrong, it has nothing to do with me, it is all Du Niang's fault. ）

Ren Chao couldn't help but smile. "Tell us about the current situation of our army, the situation of the troops, the armament and so on, and give us a detailed introduction.

"At present, our army has garrisons in Jilin, and all the Fourth Division of the Tiger Army. The 2nd, 6th, and 7th divisions each have one each. The Korean Independent Brigade and the Second Division of the Korean New Army have a total strength of about 60,000 troops, and there are about 20,000 reinforcements on the way to Jilin, and these reinforcements can reach Jilin in ten days at most. In terms of armament, both our Tiger Army and the DPRK New Army have all been equipped with the latest rifles. In terms of artillery, not counting the more than 20,000 reinforcements on the way, we now have about 260 artillery pieces of various types. In terms of machine guns, the Tiger Army is equipped with a minimum of two heavy machine guns per company. The standard equipment of one of our integrated divisions is 2 brigades, 8 regiments, 24 battalions, 72 companies, plus heavy machine guns equipped with cavalry, artillery and other units, and each division is equipped with a total of 180 heavy machine guns. There are even more light machine guns, which have been distributed to the squads, and each infantry squad is equipped with a light machine gun, and we have about 800 light machine guns in one division. In terms of infantry firepower alone, with the same strength, our firepower is at least five or six times that of the Russian army, or even higher. However, the equipment of the new army of the DPRK is a little worse than that of our Tiger Army, but one division also has 80 heavy machine guns and 250 light machine guns. Zhou Tai said confidently.

"So, even a division of the North Korean New Army has several times more heavy machine guns than the entire Russian Far East?" Ren Chao said with a smile

"Not bad!" Zhou Tai nodded affirmatively.

Ren Chao nodded with great satisfaction, at that time, the heavy machine gun was not promoted on a large scale at all, and the number of equipment of the troops of various countries was not too much. Not to mention light machine guns, the world's first light machine gun has just been developed, and the armies of various countries have basically not had time to equip it! At that time, Ren Chao's Tiger Ben Army was undoubtedly the first in the world in terms of the number of light and heavy machine guns equipped with light and heavy machine guns, of course, it was calculated according to proportion. In this way, the firepower configuration has already caught up with the elite troops of Britain, France and other countries during the First World War. And what about Russia? For the decaying and declining Qing Dynasty, Russia was a behemoth. However, at that time, in terms of strength, Russia could not be compared with Britain and France at all, and even compared with the newly rising Germany, there was a certain gap.

"Min Jun! You don't have to have any feelings, I will also find a way to gradually improve the weaponry of your new Korean army, especially your second division, since you are working with us to fight against Tsarist Russia, I will naturally not treat you badly, and I will immediately order someone to send you another 30 heavy machine guns and 100 light machine guns. Ren Chao glanced at Jin Minjun, who was sitting below, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, handsome! The last general and all the soldiers of the Second Division were willing to be the commanders, go to the soup and fire, and never give up. Jin Minjun hurriedly got up to thank him, and at the same time expressed his loyalty to Ren Chaoda.

Ren Chao's face turned pale, and he said sternly, "Do I think this old man is so powerful?" But if you look at it this way, that's just it. However, in war, we must consider many factors, and firepower is only one of the aspects, so we must not be arrogant, it does not mean that our firepower is strong, and we will definitely be able to win. But as long as we work together and work as one, we will definitely be able to defeat Tsarist Russia. (To be continued......)
