Although in terms of firepower, the Tiger Army has an absolute advantage, and the artillery equipment under the same force is several times that of the Russian army, not to mention the machine guns, there is almost no comparison. In terms of troops, although the Tiger Ben Army is at a disadvantage, at least in some parts of Jilin, the disadvantage of the Tiger Ben Army is not obvious, the Russian army is 80,000, the Tiger Ben Army is 60,000, and those rebels with low combat effectiveness are almost negligible, because such a rebel army cannot have a decisive impact on the war situation at all. But even so, Ren Chao did not rush to attack.

The reason is also very simple, because the current Tiger Ben army is not completely ready at all. Strong firepower is certainly an advantage, but it is also a heavy burden, these advanced weapons are definitely a double-edged sword, for the enemy he is an invincible blade, but for the tiger army is also a strict test of their logistical support capabilities. As the so-called cannon sounds, it is ten thousand taels of gold, whether it is those artillery guns or those light and heavy machine guns, it is not only the silver that is fired in vain, but also the huge logistical pressure. These shells, these bullets, have to be transported from the rear thousands of miles, and in terms of current traffic conditions, if you want to ensure the consumption of the soldiers at the front, the logistical pressure can be imagined.

Although Ren Chao has a system in his body, at least he can ensure the logistics supply of his area, but it is impossible for Ren Chao to always follow the Tiger Ben Army to fight everywhere, right? And now Ren Chao can barely cope, what about in the future? If the Tiger Ben Army is forced to face a two-front war in the future, a three-line war, or even a multi-front war, and the battle line continues to lengthen, no matter how powerful Ren Chao is, it is impossible to pull out a single hair and conjure up countless clones like Sun Wukong! Therefore, in the long run, Ren Chao has begun to gradually reduce the army's dependence on the system, hoping that the Tiger Army will gradually develop and grow in a normal environment. Because the current Tiger Ben Army is certainly very powerful, but at the same time, it also has the defect of being strict. That is the over-reliance on the system and Ren Chao, so what Ren Chao has to do now is to make up for this defect.

At that time, the Tiger Ben Army went on an expedition to quell the rebellion outside the Guan, why did Ren Chao not go out with the army, and even after that, he didn't go to the front line to take a look. On the one hand, it is because Ren Chao can't leave at all, and on the other hand, Ren Chao is also taking the opportunity of counterinsurgency to test the Tiger Ben Army. With the strong combat effectiveness of the Tiger Army, it can be said that it is effortless to deal with those rebels, but it is such a battle, which has been fought for several months, why? It's not that the Tiger Army doesn't want to attack. Rather, it was because of the heavy logistical pressure that Yan zhòng restricted the offensive speed of the Tiger Ben Army.

And this time against Tsarist Russia, why did Ren Chao, who was busy with his schedule, insist on coming to the front line, the reason is also very simple, because this war can only be won, not defeated, and the Tiger Ben army cannot afford to be defeated at all. So Ren Chao insisted on coming to the front line, but although Ren Chao came, Ren Chao had already decided. As a last resort, we will never use the system lightly to reduce the excessive dependence of the Tiger Army on the system, so that the Tiger Army can develop and grow healthily in a benign environment.

So this time, Ren Chao did not arrive in Jilin. He cashed out a large amount of supplies, and then launched an attack on the Russian army outside the city. If this is cool, it will be cool, but it will not achieve the original intention of exercising the Tiger Army. This war against Tsarist Russia was undoubtedly a severe test for the Tiger Army. Whether or not the Tiger Ben Army can withstand this severe test is directly related to the future of China.

So far, in order to supply the front-line troops to fight, Ren Chao first requisitioned about 150,000 people from Shandong. Guarantee the logistics of the front-line army. After declaring war on Tsarist Russia, 100,000 people were requisitioned from Shandong, Zhili, Liaodong and other places. It can't help but be so, now the railway from Jinan to Shanhaiguan is running at full capacity, and these rumbling trains are transporting all kinds of military supplies to support the front line. However, it is a pity that the railway in the northeast has not yet been built, and after these military supplies arrive at Shanhaiguan, they can only rely on manpower and animal power to transport, which is destined to be a very huge project. In addition, in addition to the railway, Ren Chao also mobilized all the ships that could be mobilized in various ports in the north to load a large amount of military supplies from the Jiaodong Peninsula to Liaodong, and then to the front line.

Ren Chao's side was busy transporting a large amount of military supplies to the front line from the rear, accumulating strength and preparing to defeat the Tsarist army in one fell swoop. Because the longer this war drags on, the greater the logistical pressure on the Tiger Army, so it is better to solve the battle as much as possible.

But the Tsarist Russians were not prepared to give Ren Chao too much time to prepare, and the Tsarist Russians, who had long been unable to wait, took the lead in launching an attack on Jilin City. The logistics pressure of the Tiger Army is heavy, and the logistics pressure of the Russian army is also not small, the front line of more than 100,000 troops needs a large number of various supplies, and in terms of transportation conditions at that time, the Russian army can only rely on the most primitive manpower and animal power for transportation. So the Russian army also wants a quick victory. And at this time, the Russian army also made a very fatal mistake, that is, it underestimated its opponent too much.

These old tsarist Russian Maozi have never put the Qing country in their eyes, in their opinion, the Qing army's combat effectiveness is low, and it is not vulnerable at all, although the tiger army is known as the first elite of the Qing Dynasty, and once beat the Japanese to the ground, but these Russians have never put the little devil in their eyes, and naturally they only put the tiger army that once defeated the Japanese in their eyes.

Lao Maozi always thought that the Qing government was weak and incompetent, and did not dare to start a war with Tsarist Russia at all, but this time Ren Chao really declared war on Tsarist Russia, and he really caught Lao Maozi off guard. Neither Alekseev, the supreme commander of Tsarist Russia in the Far East, nor the top decision-makers of Tsarist Russia in Petersburg, did not expect this war to really break out, and they thought that as soon as Tsarist Russia sent troops, Ren Chao would take the initiative to make concessions and obediently cede Heilongjiang and other places to Tsarist Russia, so Tsarist Russia was not ready for a full-scale war at all, and the reserves of strategic materials were insufficient. In this way, the Tsarist Russians were even more reluctant to continue to drag on, so quickly defeating the Tiger Ben Army and ending this war that should not have happened became the only choice for Tsarist Russia at present.

So the Tsarist Russian army, which thought it was ready, decisively launched an attack on Jilin City, and the Tsarist Russians had already received specific information before, knowing the weakness of the Tiger Army's insufficient strength, as long as they could defeat the main force of the Tiger Army in Jilin City in one fell swoop, would they still worry that Ren Chao would not obediently sit at the negotiating table to negotiate? A fierce battle broke out in such a situation. (To be continued......)
