The Republic of Heroes

Zhang Ergou looked at the company of people and horses, stayed for a while on the yard full of corpses, lined up to salute, and left the whole team, saying to himself:

"It's pretty conscientious."

He saw with his own eyes that soldiers retreating from the north went around and turned into the vast mountain pass in front of them and never came out.

The Sanpi who was terrified by Zhang Ergou came up again and asked tentatively:

"Brother Ergou, shall we remind them?"

Zhang Ergou stared, and he was so frightened that he immediately fell silent, then waved his hand, and said in a low voice, "Go, follow along to watch the excitement."

……

Wu Xiaoliang couldn't bear to look at the tragic courtyard any more, and led the people away, heading south on Yanshan Road.Walking halfway, I couldn't help being surprised. I saw corpses all over the road but no Soviet and Russian enemy soldiers. How could their front line advance so fast? Could it be that Suidong is really in danger?He began to secretly blame Yin Chengfu for his poor defense. Even if he couldn't fight, it was better to evacuate the workers in advance, or organize their orderly evacuation, than to abandon them here.After this battle, the Suidong Army's prestige among Far Eastern laborers must have plummeted.

The Qihezi Coal Mine is a formed coal mine that was developed as early as the Russian Empire, but I don’t know why these people slaughtered such a huge number of miners? According to the usual practice, they will all be left alive and treated as serf-like miners to mine for the old man. Coal mines make a lot of money.Why did Dudu go on a killing spree this time?

Wu Xiaoliang was puzzled, and casually asked Tantai Jize what might happen.

Tantai Jize has not made any achievements since he joined Wu Xiaoliang, and he is impatient, so he puts all his effort into making plans, but he can't figure out the reason for the current situation, and then he feels ashamed secretly, the trick strategy is not His own gun was fired, his strength was in pennies and pennies, but he couldn't say that he was not good at this, so he had to follow Wu Xiaoliang's train of thought.

"Since it is different from the previous practice, the leader of the enemy army must not be the same as before. It is rare for the subordinates to view the cruel methods this time."

Indeed, in domestic warlords' melee, not to mention burning and killing civilians, the soldiers on both sides of the battlefield do not fight each other very hard. Usually, after the enemy army has an absolute advantage, it is easy to hand over its guns and surrender when it is at a disadvantage, and the victor will also Unceremoniously, all the defeated soldiers were collected and classified into several uses.When the time changes and the victorious side changes from superior to inferior, they will also raise their hands and hand in their guns, and the opponent will still unceremoniously incorporate them.Therefore, although there were frequent wars in the country during the Beiyang period, the casualties were very small. The soldiers of various ministries were like chips in a game on a gambling table, either in your pocket or in his pocket.

And this kind of massacre of unarmed people is beyond Tantai Jize's understanding of real wars. He can only simply blame the problem on the opponent's general and make a guess. This person is either insane and inhuman, or... ...He thought for a long time but still didn't come to the second point.

Wu Xiaoliang heard him say that the origin of this enemy army must be different from the past, and he also deeply believed it.He has carefully observed the Qihezi Coal Mine. Except for the corpses all over the ground, the mine equipment has been damaged to varying degrees. This is completely different from Yakov's guerrillas. No matter how cruel Yakov is, he will not massacre these hundreds of miners. , and he has always regarded Suifenhe as his own backyard, and he rarely commits such acts of destroying money-making machines.

It seems that the enemy is planning to turn Suidong into a no-man's land first, and then occupy it, which is a vicious method.When he was in Muling, Wu Xiaoliang had discussed with Chen Xiuyan whether the true identity of this Russian army was the Soviet Red Army, not to mention that the Bolsheviks led by Lenin had just won power in seizing power, and this victory was still extremely unstable. At the same time, it faces multiple suppressions from various forces at home and abroad.Kolchak's 30 Belarusian elite army is actively preparing to strangle the nascent Bolshevik regime. How can they have the extra energy to send such an army to the Far East?In the end, it was unanimously concluded that this enemy force is likely to be a bandit gang in Russia.

And Lenin was not his successor Stalin, he even made a promise to return the Chinese territory occupied by imperial Russia, if he hadn’t died and replaced the tyrant Stalin, maybe today’s China might not be a rooster right...

Seeing this group of unidentified enemy soldiers now, the massacre was so cruel and destructive, which strengthened his idea. Wu Xiaoliang came from that era and had a natural affinity for the term "Red Army", so when describing this He tried his best to avoid using this word when he burned, killed, and looted the army that did all kinds of evil. He couldn't connect the frenzied executioner with the Soviet Red Army anyway.

"This army must be a gang in Russia or a remnant of imperial Russia. The Bolsheviks led by Lenin in the West will not give these gangs a living space. Kolchak may give them an identity and support them with weapons and ammunition, as long as they support the White Russian regime... "

Wu Xiaoliang even vaguely believed that these people were disguised as Russian gangsters incorporated by Kolchak, but where did they go?

As if responding, there was a rapid and brief gunshot in front of him, Wu Xiaoliang immediately turned around, and finally encountered this group of devils.He took out the gun and opened the safety, and immediately ordered the soldiers:

"With me as the center, organize the defensive position"

This kind of marching team with a long snake was attacked by the enemy who deliberately ambushed on the way, and it was easy to be divided, surrounded and wiped out, so he asked the soldiers to move closer to the center as much as possible, and sent machine gunners to set up positions. The mg08 water-cooled heavy machine gun that I insisted on bringing came in handy, and was pushed to a high point in the middle of the road. The soldiers dug the soil and built an earth wall around it, preparing for battle.

More than half of the guard company's soldiers were newly recruited, so the cooperation was not tacit. In the process of organizing the position, there was even a situation where orders were not executed in time.At this moment, the soldiers who had been exposed to the firefight in front withdrew back, and the shadows of gunmen began to appear in the sparse woods about half a mile away from the roadbed, and they slowly outflanked Wu Xiaoliang's guard company.

Tantai Jize panicked, and couldn't help but shudder when he thought of these people's devil-like vicious methods, but seeing that his benefactor was still commanding calmly, he couldn't help but calm down a lot.Although he doesn't know about soldiers, he also understands the danger of the current situation. Surrounded from three sides by enemy troops far outnumbering him, it's a situation of near death.

Wu Xiaoliang also secretly regretted it at this moment. He thought he would arrive in Suidong soon, and he only brought a heavy machine gun. No matter how powerful this iron guy is, he can only block the fan-shaped area directly in front of him, and it is impossible to take care of all three sides. .
