CHAPTER XXVIII
Zhang Laifu and their hard work is worth it, from the Russian military camp headquarters is getting closer, there are several groups of Russian Cossack cavalry patrol horses around, responsible for guarding, their military uniforms are very distinctive, and Zhang Laifu saw the military uniforms of the Cossack cavalry in Liujiabao near the stage tun There are completely different places.
The uniforms of these cavalrymen were very special, they wore an open-chested gray tweed coat with red shoulders, and sixteen bullet pouches of traditional style sewn on the chest, not only the shoulders were red, but also the top of the fur cap, which seemed to be a characteristic of a regional caste.
All of them wore fur caps diagonally, which was clearly an important sign of the Cossack cavalry, and the most obvious difference in appearance between the Cossack cavalry and the Russian Guards Cavalry Regiment, the Morlymorse Cavalry Regiment, etc.
Because they were wearing the Russian military uniform issued by Colonel Madriddorf to Wei [***], in the name of Madriddorf, the road was quite smooth, and the Russian Cossack soldiers at the sentry posts and patrols along the road did not stop them, and they successfully entered the Russian barracks headquarters.
After Zhang Laifu exchanged a few words with the junior lieutenant on the other side, the officer seemed to be a little surprised, but he didn't expect that there was someone in Kanto who could speak fluent Russian. took Zhang Laifu to report to the back courtyard, and after a while, he saw a guy who claimed to be a senior staff officer, saying that he could contact Colonel Madrid Dorf, and then led a few people into the house.
Just when Zhang Laifu and his party walked into the courtyard, a Russian [***] officer about thirty years old walked out of a large brick and wood house in the barracks area of the Russian army.
The man was dressed in a navy-blue woollen tweed coat with a black red-trimmed collar, a silver leather strap on a diagonal back, and a dark gray telescope holster, all of which were more like the configuration of a high-ranking staff officer of the Russian army, and a little out of place with this Cossack cavalry regiment, and his black high hat with a more beautiful fluffy coat color, was undoubtedly a high-class handicraft purchased privately.
In fact, he is the "Manchurian Tong" Madrid Astoria who asked He Tianci to collect grain last time, Madrid Astoria stood in the corridor and glanced at Zhang Laifu and the others, suddenly beckoned, and asked in fluent Kanto dialect: "Big brother, are you He Tianci's people?" ”
Zhang Laifu responded in fluent Russian: "Senior Colonel Madrid Dolph, this time we are in order to help the Russian Empire buy grain, and now we are in conflict with the Russian Empire, and we hope that the Russian army will give assistance."
Madrid Daofu was shocked at first, he couldn't imagine that he could speak fluent Russian under He Tianci, and then said to Zhang Laifu: "I can't help me with this, I'm just an intelligence officer." ”
Zhang Laifuyin smiled, did not panic, but said confidently: "Then I'll tell you the truth, Xiao Yue's book is also going to our food, if you don't go to support, we can only give food to Yue himself, anyway, it's not the same for anyone, just give money to arms."
As soon as Madrid Daofu heard this, he had a swaggering posture at all, and now Fengtian said that the Russian war was imminent, due to the destruction of the Liaozhong bandits, the Russian army was already seriously short of food, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Big brother, you see what you said, I have no soldiers, but this is easy to discuss, I tell you, this He Tianci is also my brother, you said that this He Tianci is surrounded by the army, I am also anxious, don't worry, I have helped, although I have no soldiers, but I know General Mischinko."
Zhang Laifu also smiled again, shook hands with Colonel Madrid Dorf and thanked him, and then took out the bribe money of 10 gold bars from his pocket, and sent the 10 gold bars over very carefully when he shook hands.
Colonel Madrid Astoria also smiled, patted Zhang Laifu's arm vigorously, and said, "Don't worry, I'll go in first to report to General Mischenko, you can prepare for it, and you can see this big man later." ”
In the analysis of the defeat in the Russo-Russian War, the decay and incompetence of the high-ranking officers of the Russian aristocracy and their refusal to change new tactics were an important reason, and the degeneration of middle- and lower-ranking officers and petty aristocratic officers was another important reason.
Money is a good thing, especially gold that basically does not depreciate, it is true that gold in troubled times is true, money can make ghosts grind, especially for the corrupt and degenerate Tsarist military officers, it is really easy to see money, and it is really difficult to do things without money!
Colonel Madrid Astoria accepted these gold bars with a smile, and the bribe money given to Zhang Laifu by He Tian was really used, saying that the hands of people are short and the mouths of people are short, and after accepting the money, Rydolph of this horse turned around enthusiastically and hurriedly entered the big green tile house to report the situation to General Mischenko.
Since he received the money, Zhang Laifu knew in his heart that this matter was basically done, He Tianci instructed him that even if a Russian military intelligence officer received unfavorable news about him in the future, it seemed that he could continue to use bribery to deal with it, it seems that Lord He was really prescient, money is really a good thing!
At this time, Colonel Madrid Dorf had already come out of the room in great strides, with a smile on his face, and when he saw Zhang Laifu, he patted him on the shoulder and said: "Big brother, come with me, Your Excellency General Mischinko also admires you Lord He, and is also very interested in your troops, and wants to know more about your situation!" ”
After Colonel Madriddorf finished speaking, he led Zhang Laifu into the headquarters of the Cossack cavalry corps.
In the history of the Russo-Russian War, it is said that there was a general Mischenko who commanded more than 9,000 brave and fearless Cossack cavalry to storm the heavy machine-gun positions of the Japanese army.
This great god will not be the general Mischenko that Zhang Laifu is going to meet in front of him.
In Liujiabao, He Tianci was anxiously waiting, whether it was Ji Yaohua's news or Zhang Laifu's news, he still knew nothing and had no purpose at all.
The stupid roe deer outside the door hurried over, rushed directly into the house, and shouted excitedly at He Tianci: "Fourth brother! Oh no, this time the little devil is ruthless, listening to the news from Ji Yaohua, the little devil alone has a brigade of more than 7,000 people, and there are also the "Manchurian Righteous Army" composed of bandits from Rehe, and there are a lot of them? ”
When He Tianci heard the news, he was really shocked, with his 3,000 soldiers at the moment, and these more than 7,000 well-trained and well-equipped Yue troops, he was very likely to be wiped out, and now he can only pin his hopes on Zhang Laifu, and the rest is that he must do his best to block the invading Yue army, and delay the time even longer, in order to wait for the rescue of the Russian army.
He Tianci hurriedly called the guards and soldiers to prepare for battle.
The night was too quiet, and the moonlight shone like a mist woven from a hazy silver veil, on the trees, on everyone's face, with a solemn and holy light.
He Tianci knew that what was waiting for him this time was a test of life and death, and this time Wei [***] was going to show the spirit of the sword, even if the army was stronger than himself, knowing that he was invincible, but he also had to show his sword, even if he failed, Wei [***] was still glorious despite defeat.
