The sound of artillery was deafening, and one shell, with a piercing whistling sound that pierced the air, fell one after another to the Russian positions outside the city, followed by a series of deafening explosions. The Russian army outside the city never dreamed that the Tiger Army would take the initiative to attack, and they were blinded all of a sudden. Although the Russian army also has the intention to launch a counterattack, but at this time, the artillery equipped by the Russian army is far from the Tiger Army in terms of quantity and quality, so although the Russians want to counterattack, they are powerless and can only watch as the artillery of the Tiger Army blasts the Russian army's positions into a sea of fire.

On the infantry position of the Tiger Army, the soldiers of the Tiger Army who participated in the attack were already ready, at this time, they were like the same tiger, lying in the trench and quietly watching the Russian position in the distance, just waiting for the sound of artillery to stop, they would immediately rush out of the trench, pounce on the Russian position, and give the enemy a fatal blow.

Tie Dan is the most ordinary member of these Tiger Ben soldiers, Tie Dan was originally just an ordinary farmer near Qingdao, his family has a few acres of land, the three Tie Dan brothers have grown up, and his father is also old, so the boss is clamoring to split up. This bit of belongings is not enough for the three brothers to share, not to mention that there are fathers and mothers who need to eat, and the family is in a lot of trouble over this bit of family property. This was just in time for the Tiger Army to recruit soldiers, and the youngest Tie Dan directly signed up for the army in a fit of anger and left his hometown where he had lived for more than ten years. After four months of training in the recruit training camp, Tie Dan was sent to the front line, first in Zhili, but at that time, the Qing army in Zhili saw that the Tiger Ben Army almost surrendered, so Tie Dan did not catch a fight, but then Tie Dan's troops were pulled to the northeast front.

Here Tie Dan realized what a real war is, two days ago, Tie Dan's battalion was sent to the battlefield for the first time, at that time it was just to resist the joint attack of Lao Maozi and the rebels. The first time he went to the battlefield, the iron egg watch Xiàn was not bad, and he did not have stage fright like some people, and he quickly became familiar with the environment of the battlefield. And successfully killed an old Maozi in the battle, although there was a bit of shit luck in it, but after all, he successfully killed an old Maozi, so Tie Dan was personally rewarded by the battalion commander, not only verbally, but also got a bonus of two oceans.

Two oceans are indeed a lot, you must know that at this time, a recruit like Tie Dan will only have two oceans of silver for a month. Although Tie Dan has not read any books, he can still calculate simple arithmetic. A simple calculation in my heart is still calculated by killing Lao Maozi. Killing an old Maozi is two oceans, two is four, and killing ten is twenty ......, so if you are done with this battle, if you are lucky, you will be able to earn enough money to marry your daughter-in-law, and maybe you can buy a few acres of land in your hometown, and then you will still have to break your head with his two brothers to fight for that bit of family property? Thinking of these iron eggs, I couldn't help but feel excited. Although this is a bit too idealistic. Bullets don't have eyes on the battlefield, who knows if he can live to that time, but Tie Dan, who is relatively simple-minded, has never thought about this problem.

Although this is not the first time that Iron Egg has participated in a battle. But last time it was defensive, this time it was on the initiative. The meaning of this is obviously different, although the iron egg is quite a bit of a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but not very afraid. But it is inevitable that there is some anxiety in my heart.

"Hey, hey! Boy, I'm scared! At this time, a bearded guy next to him patted Tie Dan's shoulder and said with a grin.

"I'm afraid of a ball!" Tie Dan replied to the bearded man angrily.

This bearded man's name is Song Laohu, a very cheesy name, and he is the squad leader of Tiedan's class. It's a bit complicated to talk about this guy's origins. This guy was originally a hunter, and his ancestors had lived by hunting for three generations. Although life has been hard, it is still passable. But such a peaceful day was broken by an accident a few years ago, and Song Laohu and his father took a lot of effort to hit a leopard, and the leopard skin was intact, and the bright coat color was definitely the best good color. I was about to sell it for some silver to improve my life, but I didn't expect to cause trouble, this leopard skin was taken by a local Qing army sentry commander, so he was ready to take this leopard skin to his boss to seek a better position. But this sentry chief usually eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and smokes a lot, and his family has all been lost, so he has no money to buy it at this time, so he has to rob it. Song Laohu and his father reasoned with them, but they were beaten by others. Song Laohu's father was old, he was seriously injured, and he died in a few days. Song Laohu couldn't swallow this evil breath, and after finishing his father's funeral and recovering from his injuries, he went to the sentry chief to take revenge. When it was dark, he sneaked into the sentry's house and slaughtered the guy with a knife. At this time, Song Laohu was the only one left in his family, and after killing people, Song Laohu went directly to the mountain to become a bandit.

In this way, he was a happy bandit for two or three years, but at this time, Ren Chao entered Shandong, and soon the Tiger Ben Army began to suppress bandits on a large scale in Shandong, from 1895 to the beginning of 1896, in less than a year, the bandits and bandits in Shandong were basically wiped out. Song Laohu's bandit village was also exterminated by the Tiger Army, and Song Laohu was captured, and then sent to the mine to work as a coolie for more than half a year, which can be regarded as labor reform. Later, because of his good appearance, and caught up with Ren Chao to launch a coup d'état and large-scale expansion of the army, Song Laohu, who knew how to shoot guns, and his marksmanship was quite good, was conscripted into the army and became a member of the Tiger Army. Later, because of his good performance in the counterinsurgency battle in Zhili, he was soon promoted to squad leader, although he was not an officer, but he was also in charge of more than a dozen people.

"Still hard-mouthed, look at the way you look now, and say that you are not afraid." Song Laohu pursed his lips and said, "But you don't have to be embarrassed, this is the first time you go to the battlefield, how can you not be afraid." But you don't have to worry, with the combat effectiveness of our Tiger Army, isn't it as simple as chopping melons and vegetables to deal with those old hairies? So just put your heart in your belly! We don't call it a war at all, it's just killing old people to earn bonuses! Haha"

"Look at you like this, as if you have more experience, aren't you like me, have you ever been on the battlefield before?" Tie Dan asked with an unconvinced look. These two guys have been together for a long time, and they have long been familiar with each other, and Song Laohu, the squad leader, has not been around for a long time, so Tie Dan will naturally not be afraid of him. (To be continued......)
