"Your Excellency, Commander, according to the observation of the humble position, this should be a new type of artillery newly developed by the Tiger Ben Army, a kind of artillery that we have never seen before." A colonel's staff officer beside Alekseev couldn't help but frown and said.

"A new type of artillery, what new type of artillery can those lowly and stupid yellow-skinned monkeys invent." Alekseev couldn't help but curse loudly.

"This~! Maybe it's a new type of weapon that the Tiger Army bought from the Germans or the British! The colonel's staff officer hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly.

"Hmm!" Alekseev frowned and nodded, although it was unlikely that the Germans and British would sell the latest weapons to the Qing army, but this was not for sure. In short, Alekseev preferred to believe that the Tiger Army bought new weapons from the Germans or the British, rather than that this new weapon was invented by the Tiger Army itself.

"Just now, I saw puffs of white smoke rising from time to time on the forward position of the Tiger Ben Army, which should have been emitted by this kind of artillery when it was fired. And the humble duty probably counted, the number of this artillery equipped by the Tiger Ben Army is about a hundred, from which it can be inferred that the rate of fire of this artillery is extremely amazing, and the humble duty estimated that it can probably reach ten rounds per minute, or even faster. The colonel's staff officer analyzed very calmly.

But Alekseev couldn't help but gasp, such a rate of fire is too amazing! Alekseev's brows furrowed even deeper, the Tiger Army's new acquisition of such an advanced weapon will undoubtedly bring greater trouble to the Russian army, which is the last thing Alekseev wants to see. Because the current Tiger Ben Army is enough of a headache.

The colonel's staff officer saw Alekseev frowning and fell into deep thought, and continued. "The Tiger Army placed this artillery in the forefront of the position, so it can be concluded from this humble position. The range of this artillery should not be too far, otherwise there would be no need for the Tiger Army to arrange the artillery positions so far forward. ”

"What you said is very reasonable, but the Tiger Ben Army suddenly has such an advanced weapon, which undoubtedly greatly enhances their strength, which is very disadvantageous to us, is there any way you can deal with this new type of weapon of the Tiger Ben Army." Alekseev nodded in agreement, and then asked sternly.

"Well~! Each weapon has its drawbacks and can be countered, but what we know about this new weapon is really limited so far. So for the time being, I can't think of any good way to restrain the other party. The colonel's staff officer replied honestly.

In that case, you're still talking! Alekseev couldn't help but roll his eyes, but this can't be blamed on this colonel's staff officer, after all, whoever encounters some new types of weapons always has to study it carefully before he can come up with a way to restrain it. "Then your staff department, immediately give me time to find a way. If we fail to restrain this new artillery of the Tiger Army, we will undoubtedly suffer extremely heavy losses. ”

"Yes! It's just that Your Excellency, Commander, in order to think of a way to restrain yourself, will be able to capture one such artillery. First, we can study how to restrain them. Second, he believes that this new type of artillery is very suitable for modern warfare, and that it is of great significance to modern warfare, and that the empire should also seize the time to develop this new type of artillery. The colonel's staff officer continued.

"What you said is very reasonable, then inform the troops on the front. Try to capture one such artillery, and if anyone can capture one such artillery, the command will directly give a heavy reward! Alekseev nodded and said.

"Yes! Is the offensive going on today? The colonel's staff officer replied respectfully, and then asked tentatively.

"That's all for today! Continue the offensive tomorrow! Alekseev thought about it. I feel that the losses of today's offensive troops are not small, and the most important reason is that the Tiger Ben Army has suddenly developed a batch of new weapons. As a result, the Russian army suffered huge losses, and the morale of the Russian army was severely hit. Even if the offensive continues, it will be difficult for the Russian army to curry favor again, so it can only temporarily stop the offensive.

Alekseev turned his head and glanced in the direction of the position of the Tiger Army, where the smoke was filled, and the ground was covered with the corpses of Russian soldiers, which were so dazzling in the sunlight. Alekseev showed a hint of cruelty and resentment on his face, snorted coldly, turned away from the forward observation post, and returned directly to his headquarters.

At the same time, it was a different scene on the side of the Tiger Army, and tens of thousands of soldiers on the position couldn't help but cheer in unison. Just now, they once again successfully repelled the attack of the Russian old Maozi, inflicting heavy casualties on the Russian army. Most people were cheering and celebrating the victory.

At the head of Jilin City, Ren Chao stood downstairs at the city gate, looking at the Tiger Ben soldiers cheering below, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

"It's so cool! This lightning cannon is really powerful, under the fierce bombardment, Lao Maozi was blinded all of a sudden, turned his head and ran, remembering the way they fled with wolves just now, I wanted to laugh, it was so cool haha! Next to Ren Chao, Zhou Tai couldn't help laughing.

"The power of this mortar is really extraordinary, and I immediately notified the Qingdao Arsenal to speed up production, make another batch of mortars out as much as possible, and then immediately transport them to the front line. However, after all, the mortar has just been studied, and there are still some defects, so let the artillerymen hold a meeting to sum up some of the defects of the Type 22 mortar in actual combat, and then send a telegram to the Qingdao Arsenal. In a word, we must not be complacent just because we have made some achievements, and there is still a big gap between us and the Western powers, so we should continue to work hard to develop more and more advanced weapons and equipment! Ren Chao turned his head and instructed a staff officer beside him.

"Yes!" The staff officer recorded Ren Chao's words, and then saluted Ren Chao, turned around and strode away.

Ren Chao then turned his head to Zhou Tai and said, "In the future, mortars will be equipped with a large number of troops, so be it!" You immediately transfer a group of men from various units to follow the mortar regiment and learn the relevant operation techniques. Now is the time of war, and in the shortest possible time, a large number of qualified mortar artillery must be trained. ”

"Yes! Arrange someone to do it immediately! I believe that everyone has seen the power of mortars today, and it is estimated that even if the commander does not give orders, the commanders of their various units will run to the commander to ask for mortars! Zhou Tai laughed and said.

Ren Chao smiled and nodded, "That's the same, every time there is any new equipment, these guys will immediately pounce on them like hungry wolves." ”

"Handsome! Handsome! Do you still have that lightning striker? Divide dozens of courses among our divisions! As soon as Ren Chao's words fell, a loud voice sounded downstairs at the city gate, and soon a Tiger Army officer wearing the rank of major general rushed up directly. (To be continued......)
