Chapter 26 Burying Russian Bones in Qinglong Valley

Ferdo Ivanovic Woodwich's family was a small Tsarist Russian noble, loyal to the royal family, especially the current Tsar Alexander II. In his mind, the Tsar is the revival of the empire. As long as he is under his leadership, the entire empire will surpass the European powers and become the master of the world. Ferdo was originally a naval officer in Vladivostok, but was later appointed by his superiors to Qinglonggou in the east of Haicheng to see a group of arms, and there were also a hundred subordinates. The expected mission was only three months, but strangely, the Qing people who should have appeared more than a year ago never showed up for some reason. After inquiring about the news from many parties, there was still no news, as if it was like a stone sinking to the sea.

"Damn Qing people! A bunch of bad idiots!" Ferdo was in a bad mood recently. He originally thought he could complete the task before the New Year and return to China, and then he could go to St. Petersburg to meet his fiancée Gareva, but he was left here without expecting to be left. The above meaning is very clear. He was in charge of the overall situation of Qinglonggou, recruiting nearby bandit armed forces and accumulating strength, collecting intelligence and obtaining the deployment of the Qing state's troops. Once the empire wants to attack the northeast of the Qing state, they can become a surprise soldier.

Fengtian and earth are vast and sparsely populated. These Russians are still undiscovered.

Ferdo was pressing against a stolen Qing woman with red eyes. The woman was still crying, but Ferdo was very excited and yelled from time to time.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone smashing the door.

Ferdo cursed and said, "Damn, who is it?"

"Captain, our camp has been attacked!" the adjutant reported anxiously.

Ferdo hadn't reacted yet, "Attack?"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Ha, was attacked? That's great!"

The adjutant felt that his chief must be crazy. He was still very happy that the camp was attacked.

"Joganov, immediately call my dear soldiers, and I want to see who is so ignorant of life and death that he dares to provoke us!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Ferdo threw the Qing women into the kang, then got up and put on his military uniform.

It was dawn at this time. Zheng Haitao and his men first cleared the open and secret whistles and mobile whistles near Qinglonggou, and then launched a sneak attack on the Gatling machine artillery positions on both sides of the mountain pass. The result was a two-way ice and fire. The sneak attack on the left was very smooth, and the twelve guards were all shot dead, and the Gatling machine artillery was well preserved. However, the sneak attack on the right was bad luck. A team member accidentally stepped on a rock, which immediately aroused the alert of the guards above and launched an attack without hesitation. The entire sneak attack team was suppressed in a corner, and it was very aggrieved that they could not get up and down.

Xiang Long did not hesitate and directly ordered the mortar troops to launch an attack. Two rounds of shells were taken down, and the Gatling machine gun on the right, together with the guards, were sent to the sky.

However, at this time, the Tsarist Russians and bandits in Qinglonggou also heard the sound of gunfire. After a chaotic situation, the team finally began to gather.

Wang Yi was sitting behind Chief of Staff Wu Xiao at this time, with a black box next to him.

"You guys are here to command, I'll go and see."

"This..." Wu Xiao wanted to stop him.

"What's this..." Wang Yi scolded him directly. He is the most important person here, who dares to care about her?

It was already bright, and the insurance team, under the command of Xiang Long, had begun to attack the entrance of Qinglonggou. Here is a high wall made of earth and rocks, reinforced by wooden stakes on both sides, with an average height of about four meters. A group of bandits above are fighting back at the shooting entrance.

"Although we have read the information, we didn't expect the defense here to be so tight." Wu Xiao stood beside Xiang Long, observing the situation on the battlefield. "In addition, we have insufficient guns, only about one hundred guns."

"If there were no mortars brought by the captain, this battle would be impossible." Xiang Long sneered immediately and said, "But now... let the mortar team shoot me a base shell against the wall!"

"Yes!" The messenger ran out at this time.

The bandits were shooting at the insurance team. At first they thought it was the official army coming to encircle and suppress, but when they saw the other party's outfit, long clothes and trousers, and strange helmets, they greatly reduced their fear and even showed some momentum.

At this moment, they heard strange sounds from the sky. When the Tsarist Russian commanders and bandits looked up, mortar shells hit. Sudden explosions, flying shrapnel, watching their companions' limbs break and bloody flesh, such a terrifying scene immediately caused the bandits to fall into chaos. It would be fine if they didn't run, but they would die faster. After the fifth round of shells came down, the wooden door on the front was blown up.

"Blow the trumpet! Order the spear team and the big sword team to cooperate with the musket team to launch a charge and seize the outer earth wall." Xiang Long issued an order. " Order the mortar team to extend and shoot into Qinglong Valley!"

Wu Xiao stood behind him at this time and smiled and said, "How is it, I want to rush out by myself?"

Xiang Long shook his head with a smile.

As soon as Ferdo led his men to assemble the team, the earth walls on the periphery were already lost, and many bandits retreated into Qinglonggou. Because they were afraid that they would destroy their formation, Ferdo answered the order to attack without hesitation. Bullets of gunfire sounded, and the bandits who were not killed by the mortar fell in groups like wind and waves. Later, under the guidance of the bandit leader, they stopped attacking the formation of the Russians and gradually gathered on both wings.

Wang Yi and eight personal guards hid on the nearby hill, holding a telescope in their hands, observing the firefight between the two sides.

"I didn't expect that these Russians are quite capable and did not let the bandits disperse their team. It seems that if the young master doesn't take action, Xiang Long and the others will be in trouble."

As he said that, Wang Yi opened the black box next to him, and under the curious eyes of the guards, he quickly assembled a spear of extremely strange style.

"Captain...what gun is this? It's big enough!"

"This is a sniper rifle, look at me!"

This is a Type 88 sniper rifle. Originally, Wang Yi had a better Type 09 sniper rifle, but the burden on Wang Yi was still too heavy. So he chose Type 88.

Because he had already taken down the outer earth wall, Xiang Long did not let the team charge out of caution. Standing on the earth wall, he had already discovered the team gathered by the Russians, and felt a little regretful. If he had ordered the horse team to attack just now, he might have achieved greater results. But now it would be useless to think about it!

Wu Xiao stood behind Xiang Long at this time, looked at the Russians in the distance, thought for a moment before saying, "It seems that the captain is right, the Russians have not yet understood that it is the era of post-loading rifled guns."

Xiang Long nodded and said, "You are right. They are still playing with gun queuing. After Haitao transported the Gatling machine guns down, we will block the Russian devils and the traitors and bandits in Qinglong Grotto and destroy them!"

As the two were talking, Ferdo had already begun to command his men to launch an attack. After the volleyball was heard, smoke sprayed out. Ferdo waved his saber in his hand and commanded the team, shouting: "Soldiers, look at the cowards of the Qing Dynasty, they don't even dare to come down from the earth wall! Ferdo beat me and let these stupid and short Qing people understand that even if we only have one hundred people, it is enough to sweep the entire Fengtian!"

The insurance team was taught by Wang Yi. Not to mention that they couldn't understand Russian, even if they understood, they wouldn't run out to fight the Russians in a gun battle, and then fight for bayonets.

Of course, Ferdo was not stupid, not so crazy that he could really attack the earth wall. At this time, the adjutant Juganov suggested: "Captain, why not take out the Gatling machine guns that were ready to be delivered to the Qing people? Otherwise, it would be a very unwise choice to rush over like this."

Ferdo nodded and said, "You are right. The lives of the soldiers are far more important than promises to the Qing people."

Xiang Long waited on the earthen wall for a long time, but Zheng Haitao did not see the Gatling machine guns, but instead waited for the two Russians' own machine guns. The insurance team immediately fell into a passive position, and the Russians' bullets rushed over like flowing water, and gradually began to advance towards the earthen wall.

"Grandma, what is Lao Zheng doing!" Xiang Long complained.

When Wu Xiao saw it, he was extremely anxious and said, "Longzi, if this continues, the morale of the army will be dispersed by the enemy! Get on the mortar and blow it up!"

Xiang Long wanted to do this, but the artillery regiment has only been training live ammunition for more than two weeks so far, and it is only accurate. If it is prepared in advance, it is OK to hit a large enough fixed target. If it is to launch a mobile military formation, it is afraid that before the gunners have calculated the location, they have already been on the earthen wall.

"Mortar Attack!"

Ferdo was startled by the sudden explosion, but later he found that the shell seemed to be hiding from them, so he felt relieved and laughed at the adjutant: "The Qing people are indeed stupid enough. If we go faster, the shells can fall on their own positions."

The Russian soldiers laughed as soon as they heard this, but at this moment, something strange happened. Commander Ferdo had hit something and was shocked by something. When he looked again, his chest was already covered in blood. The man fell to the ground and completely died.

Before the adjutant could react, the same bad luck also came to him, and then more than a dozen people were responsible for the two Gatling machine guns.

On the earth wall, Xiang Long also felt that today's victory was too abrupt, but seeing that the Russians were already in chaos, he no longer hesitated and launched the final attack.

Everyone who participated in the battle today was not as surprised as the eight guards beside Wang Yi. Although they did not have any bullets at a distance of about five or six hundred meters, the hit rate was really terrible, not to mention that this gun could still be fired continuously. In addition, the 88th type uses smokeless ammunition, and the gun fire is small. It is really difficult to find it in a chaotic and noisy battlefield.
