Chapter 315: The Time Is Ripe

This person is none other than Tang Zhenyu, the commander of the Sixth Division, this guy was originally commanding the battle on the front line, and after seeing the power of the mortar with his own eyes, he immediately ran back in a hurry. Tang Zhenyu ran to Ren Chao with a sneer, "Hehe, Dashuai, do you still have that lightning cannon, give it to our division!" We don't want too many, one hundred and eighty doors is enough. ”

"That's not much?" Zhou Tai's mouth opened wide in surprise, "You kid really dare to speak?" Did you know that now we only have a total of 100 mine guns. ”

"Hey, hey!" Tang Zhenyu ignored Zhou Tai, saw that Ren Chao just smiled silently, and then said, "Dashuai, I know that there are only a hundred guns now, but there will be new guns shipped in the future, so I can book a hundred first!" ”

"Even if I give you the cannon, will you use it?" Ren Chao asked with a smile.

"Ah~! It doesn't matter if you don't know how to use it, can you learn it slowly? Tang Zhenyu said with a smile.

Looking at Tang Zhenyu with a greedy face, Ren Chao smiled and shook his head, "Then let's wait until you learn it!" Don't worry, I've always been fair and won't favor one over the other! Ren Chao patted Tang Zhenyu on the shoulder as he spoke, and walked down the city tower with a smile.

Ren Chao got off the city wall, returned directly to the headquarters, and immediately called an emergency meeting of the generals.

"In today's battle, our army successfully repelled the attack of the Russian army, killing about 5,000 Russian troops, and our army suffered less than 1,000 casualties, which can be said to be a complete victory." At the beginning of the meeting, Zhou Taixian gave a brief report on today's battle situation.

Ren Chao nodded slightly, sighed lightly and said, "The Battle of Jilin." It's been two months since it dragged on, and it can't be dragged on any longer. The battle must be solved as much as possible. Ren Chao's worries are not unreasonable, and the war has dragged on for a long time. The pressure on the Tiger Army is very heavy. Although the political situation in the country is quite stable so far, who knows what the outcome will be if it drags on any longer. What's more, if Lao Maozi can't be defeated as much as possible, if Lao Maozi massively increases his troops in the Far East from the European side, then the trouble will be even greater.

"Back to the marshal, now our army has accumulated enough military supplies, and in recent days, our army has won consecutive battles and morale is high, while the Russian army is indeed the opposite. Therefore, the lowly government thought that the time was ripe for a large-scale counteroffensive. Zhou Tai hurriedly said.

Ren Chao glanced at the generals attending the meeting with cold eyes, and seeing that everyone had an eager expression on their faces, Ren Chao nodded slightly and said, "Since this is the case, then immediately start preparing to launch a counteroffensive and defeat the main force of the Russian army outside Jilin City." ”

"Order!" Everyone responded in unison.

The next day the Russian army did not continue the offensive, and yesterday's fiasco made the morale of the Russian army even lower, and after some careful consideration, Alekseev finally gave up the idea of attacking.

But the fighting didn't stop there. Gunshots still rang out from time to time on the battlefield, sending an old man to hell, where the snipers of the Tiger Army were hunting their prey. The trenches dug by the Tiger Army are constantly approaching the positions of the Russian army. The nearest one is only a few dozen meters away, and at such a close distance, the elusive snipers have more chances to hunt their prey.

In the afternoon. Ren Chao left Jilin City and came to the position of the Sixth Division on the front, accompanied by Zhou Tai and Tang Zhenyu, the commander of the Sixth Division. Ren Chao came to a forward observation post. Ren Chao held the binoculars and observed for a while, and then pointed to the Russian positions in the distance and said. "Destroy and occupy all the Russian fortresses and trenches there, the Russian army there. I'm going to stay here today and take a good look at how effective your Sixth Division is. ”

"Boss, just look at it! Let's see how we take those two positions down. Tang Zhenyu said confidently. Then he turned around and walked to the telephone, and after answering the phone, he immediately ordered in a loud voice, "Now I order your regiment to attack at once and take down the two positions in front of you." ”

"Yes!" The answer on the other end of the line was concise but also sonorous.

"Knock knock!" Soon the rumbling artillery rang out, and the artillery regiment of the Sixth Division concentrated all its firepower and bombarded the two raised forward positions demarcated by Ren Chao. At the same time, Ren Chao specially dispatched thirty mortars to participate in the battle. In just a few moments, the two Russian positions had been blown into a sea of fire. The shelling did not last long, only about ten minutes, but under the fierce shelling of the Tiger Army, some threatening fortifications of the Russian army's positions have been basically destroyed.

"Didi-da-da!" The loud trumpet sounded, and it was time for the infantry to come out. More than 1,000 soldiers of the Tiger Army immediately jumped out of the trench without hesitation and rushed towards the position of the Russian army.

"Rush!" Song Laohu roared and rushed out with his gun, and Tie Dan was unwilling to follow Song Laohu and rushed out.

"Bang bang!" Sporadic gunfire rang out from the Russian positions, and it was obvious that these old men had not fully reacted from the shelling just now.

"Da Da Da!" The light and heavy machine guns of the Tiger Army immediately opened fire, and soon suppressed several Russian fire points, and the infantry continued to charge forward.

Song Laohu, who has always been brave, barely stopped this time, and rushed directly to the Russian army position in one breath. As soon as he jumped into the trench of the Russian army, he saw two old hairy men rushing over from the left and right directions, holding bayonets.

Song Laohu's reaction was so fast, he raised the sniper rifle in his hand and aimed it at an old man on the left, and directly pulled the trigger. At that time, the military ideology dominated by the Russian army emphasized bayonet white-knuckle warfare, advocating the combat methods of Kutuzov and Napoleon about 100 years ago. Although the Tiger Army also attaches great importance to stabbing training, it does not advocate white-knuckle combat with the enemy in actual combat. Ren Chao once said that if you can solve the problem with a gun, you will never use a bayonet. Song Laohu implemented this tactical idea of the Tiger Ben Army very strictly, and raised his hand to send an old Maozi directly to hell with one shot.

But at this moment, the bayonet of another old Maozi was about to stab Song Laohu's back, and Song Laohu seemed to be at a loss about it. At this time, the gunshot rang out, and the old man fell directly on the trench next to him under the huge inertia of the bullet.

Song Laohu turned his head and gave a thumbs up to Tie Dan not far away, Tie Dan smiled innocently, and then the two continued to rush forward with the large army.

Under the heroic struggle of the soldiers of the Tiger Army, the old Maozi on the position was quickly cleared, and in less than half an hour, the Tiger Army successfully occupied these two Russian positions. Subsequently, it successfully repelled a counterattack by the Russian army. (To be continued......)
