"Your Majesty, the North Sea Fleet has just sent a telegram that the North Sea Fleet has now arrived in Shengwu Bay, preparing to make peace with the North Korean Fleet, and then go to Vladivostok to find the main force of the Russian Pacific Fleet for a decisive battle." Ye Feng walked up to Ren Chao with a telegram in his hand and said.

"Shengwu Bay?" Ren Chao couldn't help frowning.

"Yes. The so-called Shengwu Bay refers to Peter the Great Bay. Zhou Jingbo, commander-in-chief of the North Sea Fleet, said that this was originally the territorial waters of China, so how could a Russian name be used, so Peter the Great Bay was changed to Shengwu Bay. Ye Feng explained.

"There is truth to that." Ren Chao smiled and nodded and said, "Tell Zhou Jingbo to report to me as soon as they have news." ”

"Yes!" Ye Feng replied respectfully.

"The 1st Division has arrived, when does the Fifth Army Headquarters plan to launch an attack on Shuangchengzi?" Ren Chao asked casually.

"Your Majesty, the Fifth Army Command has drawn up a detailed plan to launch a full-scale attack on Shuangchengzi early tomorrow morning." Ye Feng replied.

"Excellent! This time, we must reclaim the twin cities in one fell swoop. Ren Chao said with a stern face.

Early the next morning, Ren Chao, accompanied by Ye Feng and others, came to the front line together, and he wanted to see with his own eyes the defeat of the Russian army by the Chinese Imperial Army and the occupation of Shuangchengzi. And this time the main attack is the first division of the Tiger Army, as Ren Chao's Royal Forest Army, this unit has not been on the battlefield for more than ten years. Not long ago, the unit had just completed the redress, and Ren Chao also wanted to see with his own eyes how strong the combat effectiveness of the 1st Division of the current Huben Army was.

At eight o'clock in the morning, more than a dozen fighter planes flew over Shuangchengzi and bombed the Russian positions on the ground, and the first explosion sounded, kicking off the prelude to the Shuangchengzi Campaign. Three bombers flew into Shuangchengzi and dropped four 100-kilogram and two 200-kilogram aerial bombs on the Russian headquarters in Shuangchengzicheng, directly bombing the Russian headquarters into ruins.

Since the bombers had just appeared on the battlefield at this time, the Russian army did not have any air defense awareness at all. After intelligence officers in Shuangchengzi provided the exact location of the Russian headquarters, the Huaxia Air Force successfully destroyed the Russian headquarters.

But this qiē was only the beginning, and then hundreds of artillery pieces of various types of the Chinese Empire began to bombard the Russian positions outside Shuangchengzi City, and in the violent explosions, the Russian fortifications were destroyed one after another.

Ren Chao held the binoculars and looked at the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, and nodded with satisfaction, after the artillery fire was prepared, it was time for the infantry to go out.

A loud charge horn sounded, but no Chinese soldiers rushed to the enemy's position with a loud shout. With the roar of the "boom" motor, sixteen steel monsters covered in army green paint were the first to burst out of the trenches, their heavy tracks running over the soft earth. Leaving a deep mark on the ground, he rushed towards the position of the Russian army, and behind these steel monsters, groups of Chinese soldiers with rifles in their hands pressed towards the position of the Russian army with full vigilance. Not bad! These steel monsters are none other than the latest Siberian Tiger light tank equipped by the Chinese Empire.

According to real history, it was not until 1915 that the world's first tank appeared on the European battlefield. In October 1914, the European theater of World War I was at a stalemate. Lieutenant Colonel Swinton, who was serving in the British Expeditionary Force, proposed the need to break this dull stalemate on the western front by creating an armored vehicle capable of carving out roads across barbed wire, climbing over trenches, and destroying and suppressing machine-gun fire. The British Army at the time had no interest in this, but Churchill, then Lord of the Admiralty, was a treasure. He ordered the formation of a "Land Battleship Committee" to personally lead the development of "Land Battleships". In February 1915, the British government adopted E.D. Swinton's construction of automobiles, tractors, guns, and metallurgy. In September 1915, the first tests were successful, and the prototype was called the "Little Nomad", with a total weight of 18.289 tons and armor thickness of 6 mm. It is equipped with one 7.7 mm "Maxim" machine gun and several 7.7 mm "Lewis" machine guns, with an engine power of 77.175 kW and a maximum speed of 3.2 kilometers per hour. The trench is 1.2 meters high, and it can pass through the obstacle 0.3 meters high.

In fact, with the original level of science and technology, before the outbreak of World War I, the world's major powers already had the technology to make tanks. All that was missing was inspiration, and Lieutenant Colonel Swinton was the first to have the tank put on the battlefield in 1915.

But in this time and space, there is more Ren Chao, a person who has traveled from the afterlife. Although Ren Chao in his previous life can only be regarded as a pseudo-military fan, even if he doesn't know anything about military affairs, he should know how important the tank, known as the king of land warfare, will play on the battlefield in the future. Therefore, as early as 1910, Ren Chao had ordered the secret development of the tank, and after several years of research, the Fengtian Automobile Factory finally succeeded in developing this light tank named the Siberian Tiger.

THE SIBERIAN TIGER LIGHT TANK HAS A TOTAL COMBAT WEIGHT OF 8 TONS, A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 10KM/H, AND AN ARMOR THICKNESS OF 6-22MM. It is mainly divided into two models, the machine gun type is equipped with two 7.92mm caliber heavy machine guns, and the 37 gun type is equipped with a 37mm tank gun. Of course, the relevant technical departments are researching and producing new tanks with greater power and better performance. And this first tank was more of an experimental nature.

Although the performance and firepower of the Siberian Tiger tank can only be regarded as average, it is undoubtedly a big killer weapon when it appears on the battlefield at this time. Tanks have only just appeared in these years, and the armies of any country in the world are not equipped with anti-Tanzanian weapons, and the Tsarist Russian army is naturally the same. The armor of the Siberian Tiger tank is not too thick, but it is enough to withstand the strafing of the Russian heavy machine guns. When the Russian soldiers found that their heavy machine guns could not destroy these steel monsters at all, or even stop these steel monsters from advancing, the Russian army completely panicked.

Then the steel monsters crushed the barbed wire fence used by the Russian army to stop the infantry charge, and easily crossed the trench dug by the Russian army. And the Russian soldiers could only watch, those steel monsters kept approaching, watching the rain of bullets swept groups of Russian soldiers to the ground, and the shells bombed the Russian soldiers into the sky, but when they couldn't do anything, the Russian soldiers were finally afraid, and the Russian defenders, who were not high in morale, were soon completely defeated under the first charge of the first division of the Tiger Army. Sixteen tanks crushed the corpses of the Russian army and advanced rapidly towards the twin cities. (To be continued......)
