The document from the Tsar was indeed of great help, because the situation between Japan and Russia was already very tense. Most of the people on this train were Russian soldiers, preparing to strengthen the military power in the Far East.
After the train started, Li Yu met Rear Admiral Makarov, whom he had met the last time he returned from the Trans-Siberian Railway, and saw that this time he would be officially transferred to the Far East.
Among the Russian generals in the Far East, Marklov is considered a relatively good one. The other generals are indeed a bit unqualified. Of course, this is compared to Togo Heihachiro, Nogi Nogi and others of the Japanese army in the subsequent Russo-Japanese War.
As mentioned before, Makarov is not only a soldier, but also a marine scientist, explorer, and an academician of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, so he has long heard about Li Yu being awarded an academician.
"What a coincidence, and this time I will go with you all the way to Dalian." Makarov said.
Li Yu had long seen that this carload of soldiers would be dispatched to various parts of the Northeast, especially key cities such as Harbin and Vladivostok. In fact, he didn't have a good impression of them in his heart.
So I casually exchanged a few words, and spent most of the time in the car writing the outline of the Star Wars prequels. After all, they all promised Planck to complete it as soon as possible, and the boss must pay attention to the reminder.
After a long journey, the train arrived in Harbin, and Marklov suddenly found Li Yu: "The train will stay here for several hours for loading and unloading. General Horvat, director of the China Eastern Railway Administration and commander-in-chief of the road protection army, arranged it for us. A small welcome ceremony."
"Welcome ceremony?" Li Yu wondered.
"That's right," Makarov said.
"After all, we are both academicians of the Academy of Sciences, and you have received a document written by His Majesty the Emperor. As General Horvath in Harbin, I specially asked you to welcome you together. Who do you think you are Chinese?" Li Yu thought in his heart. Gu: Welcome, Mao Shao. He is not Chinese. Welcome me in Harbin?
It's so funny, isn't it? However, the whole car is full of Russian soldiers, and Tsarist Russia has actually controlled the Northeast, the Longxing land of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
So it actually happened
"On someone else's territory", Li Yu couldn't easily refuse, so he could only go through the motions. Horvath, the director of the Eastern Railway Administration, will be promoted to lieutenant general in the future. From his position, we can see that Russia attaches great importance to the railway.
Li Yu and Makarov stepped off the train and came to the train hall. Horvath even brought a small military band and honor guard, which was very impressive and grand.
When the military music started playing, Horvat stepped forward and said: "General Makarov, Academician Li Yu, you have worked hard all the way!" Li Yu just said in his heart
"Thank you, Maomao." Makarov had just shaken hands with Horvath when suddenly there was a rapid burst of gunfire nearby, and Horvath's military band and honor guard fell down instantly.
Then there was a burst of shouting in Japanese: "Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
"Yeah, it's the Japanese!" Several people quickly hid behind a cargo box, and gunfire continued around them. The honor guard brought by Horvat did not carry weapons and was quickly slaughtered.
"Why are there Japanese soldiers here?" Makarov asked. Horvath spat: "Eighty percent of them sneaked in. The station workers I recruited should all be local Chinese talents."
"Where are the guards?" Makarov asked anxiously,
"We are about to be surrounded!" Horvat said: "The guards are outside the station, and it will take at least a few minutes to reach the hall."
"Then we have become dead souls long ago!" Makarov said,
"Are these Japanese people crazy? How can they get out alive if they get in here!" Li Yu said, "That's what the fanatical Japanese are like. We still have to think about how to save our lives."
"It's not that easy to carry out a beheading operation!" Horvat pulled out a pistol he carried with him.
"Major General, do you have any sidearms?" Makarov never expected that this would happen.
"No."
"Then it's up to me. They almost have no ammunition. I'll kill a few damn Japanese first." The gunfire from the opposite side gradually became sparse. These Japanese blended into the workers and couldn't bring much ammunition, so they immediately drew out their short knives. Running towards the three of them.
"Kill those two Russian generals! Northeast China belongs to the Emperor!"
"Whoever can kill them is a fearless warrior!" The Japanese rushed over like crazy. After all, Horvat was a general, not a jobber. He raised his hand and shot the first few people to death with seven or eight shots.
The Japanese had no thermal weapons, so Li Yucai poked his head out and saw about a dozen people rushing over. Soon, Horvath's gun was out of bullets and he could only fight hand to hand, but they didn't even have blades.
"Sukabule!" Horvath swore a curse word in Russian and threw the pistol to the ground.
"It's not that easy to kill me!" Makarov also knew that he had to survive these few minutes. When the guards arrived, these Japanese little devils were all dead souls shot by guns. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight with them for a while. Fight for your life.
They immediately started fighting with the Japanese, but there were only two of them, so they could only barely parry while retreating.
During the attack, the two Japanese also saw Li Yu behind the pillar. They were holding Japanese daggers that looked like ribs in their hands. They looked at each other, hesitated for only a second, and raised the daggers to kill Li Yu. .
"Holy shit, even I will be killed!" At the critical moment of life and death, Li Yu had no time to hesitate and took out the Browning M1900 pistol Duan Qirui gave him from his arms.
There were two "bang bang" sounds, hitting both of their faces. In fact, when the two Japanese saw Li Yu pull out his pistol at close range, they already knew it was too late. They didn't expect that Li Yu's shooting skills were so good and his hands didn't even shake.
——In fact, they are all instinctive reactions under the desire to survive. After all, the two hundred rounds of live ammunition training in Beiyang were not in vain.
Makarov had already been stabbed once. He grabbed the knife-holding hand of the Japanese opposite him, and smashed him in the face with his other hand. He was very strong, but the opponent was beaten beyond recognition. let go.
The other two Japanese ronin rushed over quickly and were about to chop Makarov's neck with their swords. The situation on Horvat's side was also very bad, and he couldn't spare any effort to save Makarov.
critical moment,
"Bang bang"! Two more shots rang out. The two Japanese ronin were shot and fell to the ground immediately. Li Yu then fired all the remaining three bullets, and none of them were missed. Only one Japanese was hit in the shoulder and did not die immediately.
There were once again seven Japanese ronin missing, and the situation instantly improved. Makarov reluctantly pulled out the dagger that had penetrated his waist. The stimulation of blood made him red-eyed, then he rushed over and raised his hand to hold the dagger of a Japanese samurai, and then used another one. The short knife in one hand was slashing wildly, and it took more than a dozen cuts before stopping.
The guards finally arrived at this time, and the last few ronin were killed instantly. Only the Japanese who was hit in the shoulder was left crawling on the ground.
Horvath hurriedly said: "Keep alive!" But the Japanese ronin actually shouted: "Long live the Emperor!" and then stabbed the knife into his neck without hesitation.
Horvat and Makarov were a little stunned, so desperate?
"What kind of death squads! These Japanese people have been brainwashed and there is no way they can survive," Li Yu said. In terms of understanding the Japanese, Li Yu is still better than the Russians.
At this time, a large number of guards and soldiers arrived, and Li Yu and the others quickly moved to a safer place.
Horvat then ordered: "Investigate all workers immediately, and kill all Japanese without mercy!" Makarov was a little worried about the situation: "The Japanese have been able to penetrate here and organize beheading operations. Northeast China is still under our control. "Is that true?" Horvath really didn't expect it: "They must have planned it for a long time, even growing their hair in big braids, just to imitate Chinese workers."
"Sukabu! They have had this idea for a long time!" Makarov cursed.
"I guess the Japanese side must have known about the general's appointment and acted hurriedly," Horvath said.
"Damn Japanese!" Makarov continued viciously. The military doctor bandaged his wound, and Makarov said to Li Yu: "Thanks to Academician Li Yu today, otherwise the three of us would have met in hell." Li Yu was really scared at this time, and his mind was completely blank at that time. He didn't even have time to think about it, he just wanted to save his life, and then he reacted and killed someone.
What a shock! In the past, I had mostly killed fish when cooking at home, but today I killed several little devils in one go. How can I not be afraid?
If it were in future generations, such as the United States, he would definitely need to take administrative leave for half a year for psychological counseling. So at this time, he looked a little stunned, and Makarov didn't hear what he said.
"Mr. Academician!" Makarov called him again. Only then did Li Yu come back to his senses: "What, what's wrong?" Makarov said: "Mr. Academician saved me and General Horvath today. We really can't thank you enough!" Li Yu said: "I also did it for myself. Paul." Horvath was shocked by Li Yu's marksmanship: "Mr. Academician is not like someone who just does research casually. This kind of marksmanship is top-notch in the military." Li Yu could only briefly talk about the military academy he once attended in Beiyang. He coached in the middle school and practiced marksmanship.
Makarov said: "So that's it. Your mastery of pistols is probably top-notch. In short, you have been a life-saving grace to us. From now on, if you have any request, I, Makarov, will definitely agree to it without any hesitation." Li Yu sighed: "It's better to be more careful about the Japanese." Makarov asked Horvath: "Do you have any clues about this group of Japanese?" Horvath said: "I just asked the staff officer, it is possible that They are all Japanese ronin and do not belong to the Japanese military."
"Ronin?" Makarov said.
"They are some warriors among the people." Horvat explained.
"How can civilian warriors be so organized? Can they still know our whereabouts?" Makarov didn't believe it at all.
Li Yu said: "General, please do not underestimate these rogues. It is precisely because they do not have military or government backgrounds that they can more easily obtain information and are not easily detected."
