America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 320 The Classical Robbery Method

Bank robbery techniques were still in the classical age before America's great pioneer robber Herman Lamm came along.

Cowboys in full armor, as long as they rush into the bank in a swarm, threaten the bank clerk to open the vault, then loot the counter and the money in the vault, and then run away.

This kind of behavior has no technical content at all.

But thanks to the weak police force in the west at that time, this method of robbery was simple but effective.

The reason why Jesse James has become the spiritual totem of many western criminals is because he robs banks not only because of lack of money.

He declared to the outside world that each of his robberies has a certain political purpose, either to punish those corrupt officials, or to challenge those rich people who are rich and unkind.

But the real purpose, only Jesse James himself knows.

He was simply grabbing for the sake of grabbing, this feeling was familiar to him.

Therefore, after being rumored to be dead, the legendary robber did not intend to disappear, but fled to the US-Mexico border, preparing to plan a new robbery.

Life goes on and robbery goes on,
"This is the bank opened by the Chinese?" Jesse James looked up at the sign, which had a big "Three Rivers Bank" written on it.

He stood up and undid his belt.

At this time, whoever moves indiscriminately will definitely be the first to be unlucky.

Using smokeless gunpowder-filled bullets, the rate of fire and power of this machine gun far exceeded any guns in the world at that time.

"Run!"

The five people who rushed through the door were beaten to pieces.

Okafor woke up like a dream.

"Something happened in the hall." Okafor said to Chen Jianqiu solemnly, and he was going to rush out to check.

"By the way, stay away from that vent later on. First, you'll be easily burned by the steam. Second, the smell is really not pleasant."

Without saying a word, the legendary robber took the money from the counter and broke open the door to escape.

He has been in the industry for so many years, and his most important experience is to make quick decisions.

Then he pulled up the black triangular scarf around his neck to cover his mouth and nose, led the rest of the people to open the door, and quickly rushed into the bank with a gun in hand.

As long as the managers and bosses inside are under control, they can take whatever is in the vault.

With a revolver in his hand, he stepped over the rotten flesh of the doorway and out of the vault door.

As a veteran who had participated in the Civil War, he knew that this was definitely not the kind of movement that ordinary guns could make.

Jesse took out the hunting knife in his pocket and put it against the old man's neck.

The cashier's soul was almost gone from fright.

The old man's eyes went dark, and he fell limply on the ground, with blood streaming from his forehead.

This Maxim was placed on the side of the wall, parallel to the vault gate.

The corner meets love.

The gang member who was letting the wind outside the door was still looking around, but saw his leader desperately climbed on his horse.

"You, you, you, you, and you, go to the vault and have a look." Jesse ordered the thin man and several others, and gave the order.

They all heard movement in the hall ahead.

Okafor shook his head, and answered honestly: "I've only seen the hand-cranked one, the one with multiple tubes, what's it called, oh, I forgot."

"Okay, it's time for us to go out and see our friends outside." He patted the bank manager.

"That liar who sells small books in the tavern?" Jesse disagreed.

The townspeople who were handling business didn't panic too much, they just stayed where they were told.

"Bank robbery! Stand aside!"

Chen Jianqiu gave a friendly reminder to Okafor on the side.

The thin man and the other four saw the door of the vault open, and couldn't wait to rush towards the door.

"What a bad name!" The legendary robber muttered.

Some of them noticed the gangster who was loitering outside from the very beginning, and felt that this person was acting suspiciously.

"Not much money! Not much cash at all!" the thin man shouted at Jesse James.

"I, I don't have the key to the vault."

Jesse gave the old man a hard blow to the head.

But he only saw the cashier standing there holding his bleeding head, and the door leaf still shaking.

After making sure that no one on the street had noticed them for a while, Jesse made another gesture to the rearmost burly man, signaling him to stay outside.

The robbers skillfully opened the cabinet on the counter and the box below.

"But boss, you gave me the gun, what do you use?" Okafor wanted to return the gun to Chen Jianqiu, "Your safety is more important than mine!"

"God!" Okafor was dumbfounded.

Just then, they heard footsteps in the corridor.

Meanwhile, his finger had moved to the trigger.

The heavy machine gun was ready soon, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the door of the vault. Chen Jianqiu put his hand on the handle of the gun.

"I really don't have it, the manager, the manager does. He and the boss are in the vault." The old man said tremblingly.

"Don't stand there, come and help me reload. You will be my deputy shooter." He said to Okafor.

"I don't like people who talk too much." Jesse shook his head.

Jesse James, who was waiting outside, had heard the voice in the hall long ago.

But when all five of them rushed into the vault, they saw two people squatting on the side in front of an iron frame with a cylindrical gun barrel, looking at them maliciously.

In the vault at this time, Chen Jianqiu had already checked all the gold in the safe, and was fiddling with the Maxim boringly.

The thin man rubbed his nose: "He said he was also a 'liberal' and admired you very much. I thought you could reveal your identity and lure him into the group."

They found that the door to the vault was open.

Suddenly, the two of them stopped talking.

"Did you see this thing when you were a soldier?" Chen Jianqiu asked Okafor.

As a result, the employee was kicked to the corner and held on the head by another gang member.

Okafor could only marvel.

In just a dozen seconds, more than 100 bullets landed in the small area of ​​the vault entrance.

Jesse didn't say any more unnecessary words to his members, and rushed out first.

"But didn't you just say that this thing is water-cooled? But this is a sample. For preservation, there is no water in the cooling pipe." Okafor asked suspiciously while putting the bullets on the gun. .

"There are not many people on the other side, how long can you fight? Besides, I rushed all the way here, and I haven't solved my emergency yet." Chen Jianqiu unscrewed the water inlet hole on the barrel.

Chen Jianqiu held him back.

So when the maxim roared in the bank and Jesse James and another surviving gangster burst through the gate, they knew what was going on.

"Who's the teller?" Jesse yelled.

And there was only one person left behind him.

"It should be, a young man named Dutch Van der Linde told me." A thin man next to him said.

They are not surprised by these things.

"My gun is in the office." Okafor looked anxious, "Believe me, boss, I have experience in dealing with this kind of thing."

"I gave you the gun because I thought it hurt my waist." Chen Jianqiu patted Ma Keqin in front of him, "Isn't this ready-made? I use this!"

"Do you have any? Give some support if you have one. It's better than nothing. It should be just enough to cover the barrel of the gun." Chen Jianqiu aimed at the water inlet.

Almost instantly, Chen Jianqiu pulled the trigger, and the bullets poured out like raindrops.

"Well, the effect is good." Chen Jianqiu stood up, "I will find someone to clean the ground with a shovel later, and then repair the wall."

The employee caught Jesse's movements with the corner of his eyes, panicked, and hurriedly pointed to the white-haired old man.

While patting the barrel, he introduced the machine gun to Okafor.

"Who?" Jesse held the short gun in his hand against the head of a staff member, "My patience has a limit!"

And Jesse himself grabbed the cashier by the collar:
"Quick, open the vault for me, I swear I won't say it a second time."

However, it was the hunting season at this time, and the town was full of hunters with guns.

"What's the rush? They will come in." Chen Jianqiu took out the revolver from his waist, handed it to Okafor, and said calmly.

"This product is much more powerful than that one." In front of the bank manager, Chen Jianqiu didn't seem to shy away from it at all.

The thin man nodded, picked up the sack, and led the people to the corridor inside.

Several people rushed in from outside the gate. They raised their guns and controlled the people in the bank hall with ease.

The bank staff all raised their hands and looked at each other.

The wall behind them was also battered, and a big hole was punched out, but fortunately, the wall was not facing the street, and no pedestrians suffered.

"Damn bastard! How dare you steal our money!"

Lincolnshire residents and hunters were outraged.

They put the money in the bank, not for you gangsters to grab it!

So, on the street where the three gangsters passed, the sounds of guns of various types rang out.

In the end, except for Jesse James who escaped from Lincolnshire with injuries, the other two died on the streets of Lincolnshire.
