The fresh green grass and blooming wild flowers attracted many bees and other insects, and beneath their busy figures there were many human figures. These figures lying in wait on the roadside were the militants united by Rodischi and Fisk.
These nearly a thousand people were hiding in the growing grass, waiting for the arrival of the fat sheep.
As the leaders, Rodischi and Fisk naturally occupied the most advantageous positions, but the delay in the arrival of the convoy made them a little worried.
"Why hasn't the convoy arrived yet?"
Rodischi waved his hand to drive away a bee that was wandering in front of his eyes, and asked Medley, who was detecting the news next to him: "Have you found out clearly?"
Faced with Rodischi's inquiry, Medley quickly replied: "Yes, I arrive here around 11 o'clock every time. I have observed it several times. Is there anything unexpected going on this time?"
Without waiting for Rodysky to answer, Fisk said angrily next to him: "Don't be impatient. You know, it's common for us Cossacks to wait a few days to catch wild horses."
If Fisk didn't care, Rodischi could only wait patiently.
After a while, a spy who was observing the situation from the front ran back.
"How about it?"
The two leaders asked the same questions, revealing that they were not as calm as they appeared.
Facing the two leaders' simultaneous questioning, the spy was stunned for a moment and immediately replied: "The convoy is coming, just ten miles ahead. The speed is not fast. It seems that there is something wrong with the car, and they are going to repair it."
The spies' words stunned the two of them. This was an unexpected situation. Leaving the ambush and waiting for the convoy to arrive became a question for the two leaders to consider.
After a long time, Fisk, as the leader of the Cossacks, expressed his opinion. "It is better to wait for the convoy to arrive. Our large group is too conspicuous. If we are discovered in advance, we will be in trouble."
Rodisky thought about it and agreed: "That's fine."
Then he ordered the people behind him: "Let everyone be careful, the convoy is coming, don't be discovered."
When the two leaders each ordered their men to be more concealed, they had no idea that their actions were being watched.
In a sparse grove of hills six or seven hundred meters away, Vasily put down his telescope and slowly retreated. Behind the hill were guards in their early 100s, but now they were fully armed and planning to do this.
A surprise for the thugs.
After Vasily retreated, he lowered his voice and asked, "Have the people who were investigating the situation come back yet?"
"Three of them have returned without any other findings, and only one has not returned."
"who is it?"
"It's Wolde, three kilometers to the west in the direction of the woods."
Just as he was talking, someone came forward and whispered: "Wold is back."
Vasily said immediately: "Let him come over."
The somewhat out of breath Wald was brought directly to Vasily.
"Wold, did you find anything?"
Wald, who looked good, replied: "Yes, boss, it's just as you expected. There are two temporary camps very close to each other behind the woods. They are guarded by only a dozen people each. They are filled with horses and
A small amount of daily necessities.”
"Very well you did a good job."
After Vasily praised Wald, he immediately ordered: "Later, you will lead a team of people to capture these two camps, drive away the horses, and burn the camps to create chaos and distract these armed elements."
Wald nodded and replied: "No problem, leave it to me."
Vasily continued: "Next to our side, Maurice, you are in charge of the artillery team. Let the artillery team fire immediately after hearing the sound of gunfire."
Morris, who has fired hundreds of artillery shells and is proficient in the operation of the slap cannon, nodded and replied: "Leave it to me."
Vasily continued to talk about the battle plan. "Willis, you are in charge of the two heavy machine guns we brought. We cannot let the enemy show any signs of counterattack, do you understand?"
"Fully understand."
Vasily then told his subordinates: "Everyone else is preparing with me. Let the sniper be responsible for destroying the enemy's firepower points and command, and the others will be responsible for destroying them. Do you understand?"
"clear."
"clear."
After all his subordinates answered, Vasily stretched out his left hand that was wearing a watch. "Look at the watch, it's 11:12. In five minutes, we will launch the attack."
After nearly five minutes of waiting, Rodischi and Fisk were still waiting eagerly for the arrival of the motorcade carrying their dreams, completely unaware that there were several sniper rifles behind them aimed at them.
At this time, Rodisky felt a slight itching in his nostrils.
"Ah...Cheng."
"Pah...pah...pah."
A sneeze allowed Rodiski to escape the reaper of death. Several gunshots rang out, making Rodiski immediately realize that something was wrong. As expected of an officer who had been on the battlefield for several years, he realized through the sound of gunfire that the attack was coming from behind.
. Continuously perform several standard rolling movements to hide on the other side, and lie firmly on the ground.
This made the sniper aiming at him curse secretly and choose other targets.
Fisk fell to the ground only a few meters away from Rodischi, but his eyes were already dim, as if he was still confused about who attacked him.
The sound of gunfire made the ambushing armed gang realize that I was under attack. However, many leaders lost their lives in the first round of gunfire, which made them much slower to react in the face of the attack, and they had no idea what they should do.
What are you doing? Some people may have never experienced such a scene and were stunned.
"Over there, fight back."
A leader who was not afraid of death loudly ordered his subordinates to launch a counterattack in the direction of the grove, but their firepower was worrisome and their marksmanship was also poor.
The boss's eye-catching movements made him the focus of the battlefield. People who are the focus of the battlefield usually cannot survive for long, and he was no exception. After several gunshots were fired, the boss fell to the ground with flying blood.
On the ground, his distracted eyes told him this truth.
Of course, a small amount of rifle fire cannot scare the gathered bandits. Many bold thugs plan to show their power to those who sneak attack them.
"Boom...boom"
"Da da da"
However, the sounds of several mortars that followed made them hesitate in their movements, and the sound of machine guns frightened them even more. The chorus of two heavy machine guns and ten Madsen light machine guns made them understand what a hail of bullets was.
A large number of armed men fell down in pieces like wheat. This frightened many bandits. They had never seen such a scene before and could only lie on the ground shivering, their hands weak and dominated by fear.
Their legs made it impossible for them to escape from here, so they could only lie here like frightened ostriches.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Vasily realized that this was an opportunity. The enemy was stunned and could not give them a chance to react, so he immediately waved his hand to signal an attack. Dozens of heroic Romanian elites launched an attack against ten times the enemy.
Hundreds of armed men immediately caused a commotion after seeing the enemy's attack. However, many people still opened fire on Vasily and his group who launched the attack, trying to revive their colleagues.
Although most of their marksmanship was not very good, someone still got shot from time to time. Vasily saw that the enemy was slowly recovering, and he felt anxious. Didn't Wald, who raided the enemy camp, set the enemy camp on fire?
When Morris, who was responsible for the bombardment, saw that the battle situation ahead was not good, he immediately ordered two mortars to fire rapidly, trying to use maximum firepower to dispel the enemy's will to resist.
"Boom...boom...boom"
Continuous explosions fell on the enemy's heads, causing their morale to drop immediately. The fierce shelling of the sneak attackers caused many militants to misjudge the situation, thinking that they were being wiped out by the army, and began to look around and plan to choose an escape route in advance.
.
At this time, as the only surviving leader, Rodiski had also retreated to a slightly safer place. Through his rich battlefield experience, he realized that this was just a small elite force, maybe it was to protect those
Materials. When he thought of these capable soldiers who had cost him a lot, the goods he robbed must be very important and valuable. Thinking of this, he became even more greedy. As long as he took this batch of goods, no matter it was
Recruit your own troops or serve others, then there are other ways out.
So at this moment, he risked his life and cheered up the gangsters himself. "Don't be afraid, there are few of them. They want us to resist. They are the ones who can't stand it. Don't be afraid, fight back."
Under Rodysky's instigation, many gangsters with different ideas gradually calmed down and began to resist seriously. Vasily and others faced even greater pressure, and even the offensive could not be launched, and they could only fight with the enemy.
Shooting. Although their marksmanship is much better than their opponents, the huge difference in numbers makes them unable to hold them back.
At this moment, a thick plume of black smoke rose from the west.
Seeing this black smoke, many gangsters became commotion. They all knew that this was their previous camp. Judging from the signs, it was being burned, and many of their belongings were still there.
Of course, the people who reacted the most to the smoke were Fisk's men, who were a Cossack nomadic group. They treated the horses like their own companions, and without these horses they would not only lose a lot of wealth, but also their foothold.
fundamental. So after the camp was burned, their reaction was the greatest.
After seeing the different reactions of the enemy caused by the thick smoke, Vasily immediately ordered: "Aim at the key points on the right with less commotion."
Fisk's gang immediately felt that the pressure was relieved a lot. As the deputy who took over Fisk's position after his death, he was not an idiot. After feeling the difference in treatment, he immediately thought for a while and said: "Let's withdraw. The opponent is too strong and we want to win."
We are going to lose at least half of our manpower, and we cannot take risks at this time."
Of course, the risk he was talking about came not only from the attackers but also from Rodischi. As the leader had just died, and the number of people was still smaller, there was a lot of danger of being annexed, so ensuring his own survival became the top priority.
.
The withdrawal of the Cossacks made Rodysky jump in anger. This was not only a matter of losing two-fifths of his troops, but also shaking the confidence of his own men. Who would be in the mood to continue fighting when others were evacuating.
Seeing that his strategy was working, Vasily struck while the iron was hot. "Just hit the person on the right, and use all the firepower."
Therefore, all the blows were borne by Rodysky's men, and the difference in numbers was not that big, so Vasily and others launched their offensive again.
Under the fierce attack by Vasily and others, Rodysky's men couldn't resist and retreated.
At this time, Rodischi also knew that the collapse was just around the corner. He didn't notify anyone else. He quietly chose a direction and slipped away. It wasn't until his men couldn't stop him and came to him to find a way that he realized that there was no way.
People.
The leaders had all escaped, and the collapse was imminent. The fleeing bandits were scattered all over the mountains and plains. Vasily quickly ordered his subordinates: "Immediately lead five teams of people on horseback to pursue them. The main purpose is to disperse them again."
Possibility of gathering.”
The subordinate with a trace of blood on his face immediately replied: "I understand. I'll go right away."
Seeing more than forty subordinates riding horses, chasing the gangsters in the direction in which they fled. Vasily called a subordinate and said: "Let Ruler bring the convoy over. It's safe now."
There was still half a sentence that Vasily had not said, but it was only temporarily safe. This battle involving guns and artillery was expected to spread to Tsaritsyn soon, so Denikin, who was reorganizing the army,
The general will definitely send someone to investigate, and there is not much time left for them. Next, he needs to quickly transport the gold to Virix and board the ship.
Moreover, he lost more than a dozen brothers in this battle, which made Vasily very resentful towards Rodysky who escaped. If he hadn't been on a mission, he would have wanted to hunt down this fast guy.
In fact, after returning to Uris that afternoon, Vasily immediately informed Christo of the matter.
Christo, who knew the seriousness of the matter, immediately arranged for people to be transported overnight without changing vehicles. The carriages formed a convoy for transportation, and anyway, there was no armed force that could threaten them for the time being.
After three days of continuous transshipment, the small remaining amount of gold was finally transferred safely and docked on Virix's secret transport ship.
Looking at these gold nuggets engraved with Russian characters, Christo and the others finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Among them, Vasily, who was in charge of the escort operation, had already raised his panda eyes. It seemed that the escort mission during this rush period was
, which made this tough man a little bit overwhelmed.
As their means of transportation, there are less than three cars that can still be driven, and more than 30 horses are exhausted. But all this is worth it in the face of the gold that has been safely transferred to the ship.
When Christo and others got on the boat and started the last leg of their journey, Colonel Dovnov of the White Russian army, who came to investigate under Denikin's order, also brought his cavalry brigade to Vasily and others and Luo
Where Diski fought.
"Rodisky, you mean to fight the guards here?"
Colonel Dovenov pointed to the battlefield that had only been briefly cleaned, with metal bullet casings still exposed from time to time, and asked Rodysky, who was wearing a major's military uniform next to him.
It seems that this leader defected to Denikin and also sold information about Vasily and others.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. I was cooperating with five hundred people and a group of Cossacks, intending to ambush them. It was here that the enemy made a surprise attack, and the result was a complete defeat."
"Only about a hundred people?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, Colonel. We had already inquired clearly at that time. There was a ship in Uris and Verix. They should be transporting some goods. We thought we had caught a fat sheep, but we didn't expect it to be a fat sheep.
Beast."
While the two were exploring the battlefield, a war horse ran over carrying a messenger.
The messenger jumped off his horse and ran to Colonel Dovernov and said: "Report to the brigade commander, Commander Millerdov did not find this group of people and goods in Yuris. After investigation, they left the day before yesterday.
.”
The messenger's words made Colonel Dovenov frown and said, "I understand, let's get down."
Rodischi felt a little bad when he saw that he couldn't find anyone. Before he could say anything, another messenger rushed to them.
"Brigadier, Virix didn't find this group of people or goods, and there was no boat. After asking the fishermen nearby, we found that this was a steam engine ship, and it left yesterday morning."
Colonel Dovenov looked very ugly when he heard the news. "It left yesterday morning. Yesterday morning... Damn it. According to the speed of the ship, it has reached the Black Sea now. Where should I find it? Damn it."
No matter how much Colonel Dovenov complained, the ship carrying the gold had arrived in the Black Sea. As the only warship of the Romanian Navy, the Kolburg-class cruiser Count Dazira appeared in front of them. It seemed that
In order to protect this batch of gold, all means were used. Even this navy's treasure trove dared to arrive in the Russian offshore waters to assist.
This also made Virix and the rest of the group feel relieved. The mission was mostly completed and they only needed to return to Constanta to enjoy enough honors. Of course, this had to be kept secret.
On the ship, Hilka looked at Donovsky, who was staying with his family next to him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we in Romania are about credibility. We will definitely promise you."
Faced with Silka's words, Donovsky, who had been accompanying him all the way, could only smile helplessly. God knows these lunatics actually succeeded, but thinking about having five tons of their own, this world is so beautiful. (To be continued.)
