Chapter 273: Arriving at the Front
"Hmmm! Not bad indeed. Ren Chao tried the Mosin-Nagant rifle in his hand, and it felt really good. Although Ren Chao's marksmanship is really bad, Ren Chao has been commanding the army for so long after all, and he still has a certain understanding of some firearms. After learning about some of the advantages of the Mosin-Nagant rifle, Ren Chao felt that this infantry was also very suitable for the current Tiger Army. Because the Tiger Ben Army at this time was Yan Zòng's insufficient troops, the Tiger Ben Army in Zhili, Shandong and other places was making every effort to recruit new soldiers. And now that we are in a time of war, newly recruited soldiers simply cannot get enough time to train, so they have to be pulled into battle, although this is an irresponsible approach to the lives of new recruits, but it is also a helpless move. Therefore, a rifle that is simple to operate and reliable in performance is particularly important for the current Tiger Army, and its easy production is also very important for the Tiger Army, which is still relatively weak in military foundation.
Ren Chao is the kind of character who does what he thinks of and does what he says, and he has never procrastinated. Now after discovering this firearm that is very suitable for the Tiger Ben army, I can't help but be a little annoyed, and at the same time, I immediately exchanged all the technical information of the Mosin-Nagant rifle through the guò system, and picked out ten new guns that were intact from the captured guns, and then immediately ordered people to send them back to the Jiaoao Arsenal and the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, and at the same time sent them a telegram, asking them to immediately start researching this infantry, and after the research was successful, they would immediately put it into production and equip the new army troops. However, in order to reduce the logistical pressure, Ren Chao did not forget to ask the arsenal to change this rifle to the 8MM caliber of the Mauser rifle that is now heavily equipped by the Tiger Army, so as to unify the caliber.
After doing this once. The cavalry of the Tiger Army has also finished cleaning the battlefield. According to Ren Chao's instructions, the Tiger Benjun took away all the useful things that could be taken away in line with the principle of never wasting it. Needless to say, guns and ammunition are naturally taken away. Even the cotton clothes on Lao Maozi's body were all pulled off, and the corpses of those old Maozi were thrown into a nearby ravine to feed the wild wolves, and it is estimated that the wolves in the vicinity will not be short of food this year. Even those horses that were killed, Ren Chao did not waste them, and ordered people to pick up the good ones, unload the meat, and pack them all away. So much horse meat. As a military ration, it can also relieve a little pressure on the logistics of the Tiger Army.
After making preparations, Ren Chao led the cavalry regiment to continue in the direction of Jilin. didn't go far, and happened to meet the receiving force sent by Zhou Tai. The two parties will and after. Shun lì arrived in Jilin.
"Great. You're finally here, and when I heard you were coming, I've been worried about it for the past two days. Originally, I planned to pick up the handsome man in person, but Lao Maozi was about to move for a while, and I didn't dare to leave Jilin City. As soon as Zhou Tai saw Ren Chao, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, his face full of care.
"It's all my own brothers, why be so polite, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, but your kid is getting stronger and stronger." Ren Chao said with a laugh that didn't care.
"Hey, hey! It's all a blessing to the handsome. Zhou Tai smiled, and then asked with a blank face, "I heard that the marshal met the Cossack cavalry of Lao Maozi on the way here?" These guys didn't hurt the big handsome, right? ”
"Just them? They don't have the skills yet. On the way, we came across a Cossack cavalry regiment, which we solved easily, and the victory in the first battle was a good sign. Ren Chao said with a smile.
"Let the marshal be frightened, it's all poor consideration of lowly duties, I should have sent someone out of the city to answer it if I knew this, and I deserved death for the crime of lowly duty." When Zhou Tai heard this, he hurriedly surrendered his hand and pleaded guilty.
"Alright, alright! What a big deal! Besides, I'm not doing well now. Ren Chao waved his hand and said casually.
"Yes, the handsome man is blessed with all the sky, and those old hairy people naturally can't hurt the handsome." Zhou Tai hurriedly said.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, you have been in North Korea for more than a year, and you should have a good life, right?" Ren Chao asked with a smile. Soon after the end of the war in Korea, Zhou Tae was appointed deputy military minister of North Korea, and stayed in North Korea, responsible for commanding the Korean garrison and helping North Korea train the new army. As for Nie Shicheng, he had been transferred back to China at this time and continued to serve as his direct commander. After the Tiger Ben Army captured Tianjin, Nie Shicheng also became Ren Chao's prisoner, but Ren Chao did not make it difficult for this famous anti-Japanese general, and always wanted to win over Nie Shi to become his own use, but he never succeeded.
"Thanks to the handsome Hongfu, life is still passing." Zhou Tai replied with a smile, in fact, this is quite modest, and now Zhou Tai's status in North Korea is quite transcendent, which is equivalent to the emperor of North Korea, and the life is called a nourishment. However, according to Ren Chao's instructions, Zhou Tai is relatively low-key and does not interfere too much in the internal affairs of North Korea, but the military aspect is completely in this guy's hands. Even if the current commander-in-chief of the three armed forces of North Korea, Jeon Hyun, saw Zhou Tai, he could only be honest.
"I see!" Ren Chao smiled and nodded.
At this moment, a young North Korean officer strode in, "The last general will see Marshal Ren!" ”
"This is General Kim Minjun, commander of the Second Division of the North Korean New Army, and this time it is General Kim Minjun who led the army back to the northeast with our army." Zhou Tai hurriedly introduced.
"Hehe, no need to introduce, we have already met when we were in North Korea before." Ren Chao said with a smile.
"Yes, when I was in Xianyang County, the last general was fortunate enough to meet the marshal, and later I also saw the marshal in Seoul." Kim Min Joon said respectfully.
"Min Jun! There are no outsiders here, they are all old acquaintances, so don't be so polite, they all sit down and talk. Ren Chao said with a smile.
"Thank you, Dashuai!" Kim Minjun thanked him and sat down cautiously.
"Min Jun! This time I entered the northeast to suppress the rebellion, and now I have to fight against Tsarist Russia again, so I have worked hard for you. Ren Chao said politely.
"It is an honor for the last general to serve the commander." Jin Minjun hurriedly stood up and said respectfully.
"Sit down, sit down, today we are just chatting and catching up, there is no need to be so restrained." Ren Chao said with a smile and a wave of his hand.
"Thank you, Dashuai!" Kim Min-joon sat down cautiously again.
"What do you think about this war against Tsarist Russia?" Ren Chao asked with a smile, "I heard that some people in the North Korean government oppose the war against Tsarist Russia, and even oppose sending troops to the northeast to quell the rebellion, is it true?" Although after more than two years of painstaking management, Ren Chao has now completely controlled the government of North Korea, but these people are honest on the surface, who knows what they think in their hearts, after all, some people are still unwilling to be Ren Chao's vassals. This time, Ren Chao openly launched a military coup and held the Guangxu Emperor hostage. Naturally, this act of rebellion has aroused opposition from some North Korean officials.
