Li Gui is now completely sure that Boss Xiang and that strange Prime Minister came into contact with them just for this war. These people have reminded us more than once of the ferocity of the Russians and asked us to be prepared. They are on guard. This is the day.
Why weapons are provided at low prices or even on a buy-one-get-one-free basis? It's because these distant guests know that war is inevitable, so they provide support.
Li Gui hid behind the rocks, leaning against the cold and slippery rocks. He was full of questions, "But why did they come to help us? We are not related to them. What is their purpose? What is it..."
Suddenly Ding Si rushed over and gave him a slap in the face, "Damn it, what are you mumbling about? Why are there so many of them? The enemies have already rushed over..."
Li Gui woke up with a slap. Only then did he realize that the enemy had jumped into the sea and rushed towards their hiding place. Li Gui secretly cursed himself, thinking nonsense, no matter how he said to the boss and the prime minister, he was still Chinese, even if he was If you cheat, you will be cheated by your own people. It is better than dying at the hands of an old man.
"Brothers...fuck you!" Li Gui turned over and rushed out with his Mauser gun. The butt of the gun stabbed his shoulder blade firmly with a crisp bang. A Russian soldier on the opposite side was shot in the heart and fell to the ground in shock. land.
"Good fight..." There was cheering behind the reef, followed by a dense rain of bullets. The charging Russian army was caught off guard and was caught off guard.
"What the fuck... what the fuck..." Ding Si cursed when he fired a shot, and then cursed again. People who were not familiar with him thought he was scolding the enemy, but Li Gui knew this. The guy doesn't just curse his enemies, he cares about money.
Didn't you see that this guy picked up all the brass bullet casings that fell on the ground and put them back into his pocket? The Chinese have regarded copper as money for thousands of years, and this habit is not easy to change.
The charging Mao Xiong soldiers never expected that there would be an ambush here. Suddenly there was chaos and they all looked for cover and started shooting. At this time, the advantages of Mauser rifles were seen.
At this stage, the Far East is not a strategic location in the eyes of the Tsar. In Moscow's mind, Europe always comes first, and the second place is Agub in Xinjiang. As for the situation in the Far East, it should be a defensive situation in the next twenty years. After all, It's too far away, and the Trans-Siberian Railway has not yet been built.
So the weapons used by Russian soldiers now are all front-loaded Minie rifles. Every shot needs to be loaded from the muzzle. However, the rifle is a rifled weapon, and the range and accuracy are still good. The main difference is shooting. speed.
In this chaotic musket exchange, they actually met their opponents in a chess game. The strength of the two sides is similar. The quality of the Chinese's muskets is worse than that of the Russians, but the quality of individual soldiers is far inferior to the Russians. The accuracy of shooting is too different, and the advantage of two-phase offset is not so obvious.
But what encourages the Chinese is that this is the first time they have a draw with the Russians. This is very important to inspire confidence. Morale ranks first on the battlefield. When they find that the enemy is not invincible, they dare to The courage to fight will gradually increase.
The Mauser is indeed an epoch-making weapon. The two sides fired at each other for twenty minutes without even a jam on the Mauser's side, while the rifle on the other side not only jammed several times but even exploded once.
The warships farther away couldn't stand it anymore, so they started shelling regardless of the risk of accidentally injuring their own people.
Boom boom boom... Dust and smoke rose around Li Gui, and the corpses of the mining brothers were thrown into the air and rolled to the ground. This time the balanced battle situation was once again broken.
"Ding Si...you bastard can run fast. Let's cover you while you take people to install a few jars of explosives..."
"Is there any seriously injured brother? I want a dead soldier. Brother, I will support your parents until they die. I want a dead soldier..."
At this time, an old man with a pale beard next to him shouted, "Grandpa, I've lost both legs... I don't want my life anymore! Just take care of my grandson..."
"Lao Cangtou! Your legs..." At this time, Li Gui discovered that the gambler Lao Cangtou's left calf and half of his right foot had been cut off by a cannonball, and he was stuffing opium cream into his mouth in pain.
The opium suppressed the severe pain, and Lao Cangtou cursed and said, "I will definitely die from my injuries. What do you want me to do? Is it to light explosives? Grandpa, I did it... give me two more taels of horse hoof soil before I leave." Go away with a smile!"
Bullets were flying over people's heads, and artillery shells were exploding all around. Miners with soot on their bodies crawled over in tears, and soon Lao Cangtou had more than three taels of fine soot on his hands.
This is not raw opium, but processed and cooked opium, so people can eat some raw opium in moderation, but they cannot eat too much, otherwise their lives will be in danger. But does Lao Cangtou still care? What a mortal person wants is the pleasure of the last second.
After a while, Ding Si and several brothers climbed back from the mountains. Each of them had two black jars in their arms, filled with explosives. Soon there were ten hidden in the beach and reef area. Multiple jars of explosives, all connected with quick-burning fuses.
Ding Si hugged Lao Cangtou and cried, "What a fool...you should leave first. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on your grandson for you. I'll let him study. I'll kill him to prevent him from suffering like this again." !”
An unhealthy blush appeared on Lao Cangtou's face, "You're so embarrassed, get out of here now... the opium ointment won't last long, so get out of here!"
Li Gui yelled, "Shoot! Shoot! After one round, retreat quickly..."
Bang bang bang... A hail of bullets suddenly shot out from behind the reef. The Russian soldiers who were hit couldn't even raise their heads. After the gunshots died down, the group of Russian soldiers discovered that the two hundred Chinese people on the beach were running for their lives into the mountains. .
"Ula... rush forward and kill these monkeys... Ula!"
Lao Cangtou, who was hiding behind the big rock, held an incense stick as thick as his thumb in his hand. The dark red flame flickered out with the sea breeze. He stuffed the last two cigarettes into his mouth and sprayed black water from the corner of his chewing mouth.
"Damn it, if my life were to be exchanged for my grandson to be a scholar, it would be worth it... Come here, you bastard!" At this moment, countless figures rushed past him, and the old man smiled sweetly. He pressed his head on the fuse, and suddenly there was a burning sound in the air.
"What's the sound?" The veteran was so familiar with this sound that the leading officer was so frightened that he felt like he was out of his body. "There's explosives, cut off the fuse quickly..."
It was too late, a chain reaction had already occurred, a series of explosions were heard on the beach, and black smoke filled the entire beach.
