978 Battle of Daqingdao
The front-loading Mini bullet rifle, the bursting American Spencer, and even a very rare Prussian Mauser rifle that no one can name.
This is really a good thing, the bullets are all made of brass, and the cartridge case is filled with a primer to seal the gunpowder inside, so you don't have to think about the charge at all, and you don't have to be afraid of getting wet, pull the bolt to reload and shoot, and finally return the cartridge case.
Who would dare to use copper as a gun in the bitter cold land? Isn't this a waste of money, and you have to make careful calculations with two copper plates in your hand, but everyone and foreigners use copper as bullets, is Europa really the country of gold?
Who the hell is that boss Xiang? How can he have so many good things? Four taels of golden sands can buy such a great foreign gun, you must know that if four taels of golden sands go to the black market in Ningguta, they will not even be able to buy a bird gun.
The gold miners in Qingdao have been cooperating with Boss Xiang for more than a year, and people only know that Boss Xiang is from the Ryukyus, where it is said that there is no snow all year round?
The men of Baishan and Heishui have never read books, and of course they have not studied geography, they have only heard some legends brought by people from distant caravans before, saying that there is a university scholar in Sijiu City, who can write books and fight, and defeated all the foreigners.
In the late Qing Dynasty, people's knowledge was extremely limited, and they could understand that a county around them was considered a knowledgeable person, and if they had walked through one or two prefectures, they could be said to be capable of going south and north.
So what happened thousands of miles away, who was Xiao Letian, what happened to Ryukyu, what happened to the city of Beijing, it was as far away as a legend to them.
But although people in the poor countryside have a short knowledge, they all have a conscience, and whoever treats them well is the same as a mirror in their hearts, this Xiang boss under Prime Minister Xiao Cheng can sell arms to everyone at such a cheap price, and this friendship is priceless.
Wang Gui rubbed his hands, took the wine gourd from Ding Si's hand, and took a sip of the old roast, the hot feeling burned from his throat to his stomach, "Xiang Boss brought a lot of things this time, he knew that we were short of things in our hands, so he sent us a batch of spirits, as well as military rations for foreigners, what is it called...... He also said that once there is a conflict with Lao Maozi, don't fight hard first, spread out and work with them, and it will be a great credit to be able to keep it......"
"Etolin on the other side of the sea is a mortal enemy with us, and I heard from the boss that Lao Maozi's attack will be within a few days......"
Wang Gui opened a wooden box from under the tarpaulin, and five Mauser rifles were neatly stacked inside, and the yellow and clear underneath were all metal bullets. picked up the rifle and threw it to Ding Si, "Don't say that I don't take care of you, I didn't give it to you before, that's because your marksmanship is too stinky, and it's a waste of bullets to give it to you...... Now that the big war is coming, you will have one more life on the battlefield if you have a good gun!"
"Damn, your marksmanship stinks...... Ding Si's nose was sour, and he began to stuff bullets into his pocket with a rifle on his back, and he could feel his brother's care for him.
Hundreds of gold miners in the bay are busy unloading, brand new rifles, bullets, medicines, military rations and even Ryukyu specialty rum, this kind of sweet wine Northeast gentlemen do not like to drink, but the local pot wine is too expensive to brew, it is not as large as this wine, once the pot wine is consumed, then it has to be replaced with rum.
Everyone was in full swing, and just after the goods were almost unloaded, there were two booming noises from the north side of the mountain, and people were stunned for a moment, and then they shouted like a fryer, "Cannon! Damn, it's Lao Maozi's cannon!" This group of dogs took advantage of the fog to sneak attack us......
The gold miners present wanted to rush to Beishan, but at the critical time, Wang Gui took out his gun and snapped it into the air, "Don't mess up, Lao Maozi has stopped for several months, and he must be prepared for this time...... The goods here can be said to be the last batch of supplies, and it is not okay to lose them at all!"
"Hurry up and transport it to the cave, and the rest of the people will stay here to watch out for Lao Maozi's sneak attack...... There is a big shopkeeper in the north, and they will lead people to carry it, and there will be no big problems for a while!"
Ding Siyi saw that the eldest brother opened his mouth, and the guy pulled the bolt of the gun and shouted, "Yes, listen to the eldest brother, this is all a treasure exchanged for our gold, and it must not be lost, hurry up and transport it to the cave......"
Among the more than 100 gold miners, Wang Gui and Ding Si were obviously small leaders, and the rest of the people did not dare to refute and hurriedly took over the work. At this time, the sound of artillery and gunfire on the north side of the mountain had become more and more intense, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering.
Qingdao Gold Mine has gathered more than 2,000 Far Eastern remnants here, all of whom are good men who dare to kill people, among which there are many wild Jurchens and Oroqen hunters, these people don't look at the Han people on weekdays, there is also a little friction, but once they meet Lao Maozi, they are born to stand together.
"Rush...... Kill...... Kill Lao Maozi......" There was a faint shout of killing in the wind, and Wang Gui's face turned white when he heard it.
"It's a bad dish, when I just met the boss, he told us a thousand times, let us just guard the mountain, don't grab the beach with Lao Maozi, the enemy has a cannon!
At this moment, there was a loud rumbling sound of cannons in the distance, and the angry sound of rushing and killing just now suddenly disappeared.
The northern beach of Qingdao has become a hell of flames, and the Aleut on the sea is a sail-steam hybrid warship, the wooden hull covered with a thick layer of iron armor, which looks like a monstrous sea monster from a distance.
On the side of the battleship, more than a dozen guns had their guns open, black holes of guns were pouring fire, and the beach was full of explosions and fire.
Near the beach there were dozens of sampans, full of Russian soldiers with rifles, who, instead of rushing ashore in a hurry, waited for the sea to let the artillery clear the way for them.
The fanatical Maozi soldier raised his head and took a sip of vodka, then excitedly shouted "For God's sake, send these infidels to hell!" Long ......live the Tsar."
The counterattack of the gold miners on the beach lasted only more than 20 minutes, and the sporadic fire could not stop the enemy's attack at all, and finally more than 200 corpses were left behind, and the rout fled into the mountains like a tide.
"Attack! Far Eastern Cossacks, attack! Slaughter all the resisters, let them know that even a grain of sand in this land is the property of our tsar! Attack ......"
Two battalions of Russian soldiers rowed up onto the beach and swooped down the hill in front of them. Halfway up the hill, the Chinese relied on the cover of the mountain to shoot desperately downward, but their firepower was fierce but could not form a dense barrage, and those experienced Russian veterans quickly rushed to the foot of the mountain.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way...... The big shopkeeper was injured by a cannonball!" "Two hunters in the mountains and forests were carrying stretchers, and on the stretcher was the big shopkeeper of the gold mine, which had been blown up with blood.
"I am the ancestor of his old Maozi! Brothers rush out to avenge the great treasurer!" The gold miners, who do not know anything about discipline, have no military literacy, and they only know how to fight these invaders with blood.
