Chapter 839 People in a Foreign Country

Luo Mian could barely see the original appearance after the snow melted. The ground was muddy, and yesterday there was a moderate rain, and the road was completely muddy, and it was almost impossible to walk quickly in this mud, and if you were driving a carriage, it would be more difficult to advance than on foot, because you had to jump out of the carriage from time to time and push out the wheels that had been stuck in the mud. Or simply remove the goods from the car and throw them on the side of the road.

Now, a group of Chinese are pushing such a muddy road a four-wheeled carriage stuck in the mud, loaded with several wooden barrels, in addition to a whole cart of food, butter, flour, sausages, potatoes, oats, almost all the food that the hungry people in Russia dream of can be seen on this four-wheeled carriage, but like the heavy-weighted carriage of the Russian ** team, all the goods on this four-wheeled carriage are labeled "military supplies", and anyone who dares to rob these military supplies will be executed on the spot.

These Chinese also carry rifles on their shoulders. Although these rifles are Austrian military rifles captured from the battlefield, the butts do bear the insignia of the Russian Imperial ** team, which indicates that these rifles were rationed by the Russian ** department, considering the poor military production of the Russian Imperial Arsenal during the war and the extremely inefficient efficiency of rail and road transportation, even the Russian ** team on the front line cannot guarantee that each soldier can get a rifle, then, the rifles carried by these Chinese are somewhat surprising.

Liu Fuji stood at the back of the carriage, pushing the back of the carriage with both hands. At the same time, he shouted that he was now not only the commander of this wagon, but also the supreme commander of this radiated convoy, and in any case, he had to ensure that this batch of military supplies was delivered to the mine on time to ensure the food supply of the guards.

This is Mogilev, the front line of the Russian-German war, and the straight-line distance from the front-line positions in the west is only a few dozen kilometers.

And now, behind Liu Fuji, there is the sound of artillery that sounds like thunder, and the German ** team did not stop shelling the Russian ** team after stopping the offensive of the ground forces. And this shelling began yesterday morning, and has been shelling intermittently all day now. No one knows where the German ** team got so many shells again, and in comparison, the artillery counterattack of the Russian ** team is insignificant, which also further reduces the morale of the Russian army.

Mogilev is quite far from Petrograd. It is also far from Moscow, but it is very close to the German ** team, and now, Mogilev is the base camp of His Majesty the Tsar of the Russian Empire, and it is also the base camp of the Russian army loyal to the Tsar.

Seeing that a big war was about to break out, the Russian civilians of Mogilev were terrified, after all, this was a civil war, and once the war began, the trains coming from other places would definitely be intercepted by the Russian troops who opposed the tsarist system, then the shortage of food would only become more serious, and the riots and conflicts would further escalate.

So, now many Russian civilians are trying to find a way to get out of Mogilev, the road from Mogilev to Moscow is crowded with cold and hungry Russian civilians, those who can afford to buy train tickets have long since left, and only those civilians at the bottom of society are silently suffering from the war.

But unlike the Russian civilians, Liu and his men are now heading north, not east, because the mine is to the north.

The mine was officially shut down not long ago. The workers were evacuated, and it was not until a few days ago that a special unit came over and stationed in the mine, and the members of this force were all Chinese, they were not ordinary combat troops, but a special guard, and the members were mainly from Chinese laborers who went to Russia to work, and these Chinese laborers, like Chinese laborers working in other regions, also entered the Russian Empire in their "personal capacity" after the outbreak of the European War, and Liu Fuji also did

Shape.

Although the central government of China was unwilling to send laborers to the Entente countries in the name of the government, it never objected to the act of going abroad to work in a "personal capacity", and it is for this reason that there were a large number of Chinese laborers in France and Russia, and there were hundreds of thousands in Russia alone. Most of them are indeed breadwinners, but a few have a special mission.

The Labor Guard, commanded by Liu Fuji, had a special mission, and their immediate boss was Zhang Zongchang in name, but in fact the commander of the Imperial Russian Court and the royal prophet Rasputin.

After escaping from a murderous plot by a group of Russian aristocrats, Rasputin has been reflecting on his methods of life, and finally he has come to a conclusion. That is, it was necessary to have a reliable guard anyway, but after that attempted murder, Rasputin was suspicious of all Russians, nobles and commoners, so when his saviors Zhang Zongchang and Chechakov proposed to recruit a guard from the Chinese laborers, Rasputin immediately put into practice this "very good, very good" advice.

There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and the soldiers are not a problem. The remaining issue was legitimacy and weaponry, relying on the full support of His Majesty the Tsar and His Royal Highness the Empress, Rasputin only took a few days to recruit a private guard, mainly composed of Chinese laborers, and equipped the guards with weapons, and this guard was Liu Fuji's labor force, they were stationed in the abandoned mine five kilometers north of Mogilev, and usually assigned some people to protect Rasputin, and the rest of the stone remained in the mine. And used the period before the explosion of the war to hoard all kinds of materials in the mines, from food to munitions, all the materials that can ensure the survival of Rasputang are hoarded in Youjing, and women are omitted.

In normal times, Zhang Zongchang, the captain of the guards, was guarding Rasputin's side, and the team stationed in the mine was handed over to Liu Fuji to manage, early this morning. Zhang Zongchang called from the city and asked Liu Fuji to take people to get a batch of supplies, so Liu Fuji entered the city with several carriages and armed members escorting the carts, and it took several hours to get out of the city, and then he made a difficult trek on this muddy country road.

It was the first time that Liu Fuji had encountered such a difficult road, when he fought guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula, although the conditions were very difficult, compared to the march on this Russian country road. The march in the mountains of the Korean Peninsula can be called an armed outing.

"Phew! As for the powers, they can't even build a road. Food and supplies could not be delivered to the front in time. No wonder it's going to explode a revolution. ”

The four-wheeled carriage, which had all its wheels stuck in the mud, was pushed out of the mud onto the road. Liu Fuji took a sip, then bent down. Pulled out the pair of leather boots stuck in the mud hard, and then poured out the mud and mud in the boots, this boot really doesn't fit well, but this is the last batch of boots in the Russian army's warehouse, so let's wear it.

Liu Fuji caught up a few steps, threw the muddy boots into the car, then grabbed the hand handed by one of the subordinates in the car, jumped into the car, and saw that the car could finally move on. The trucks in front of them were slowly moving forward again.

At this time, the sound of artillery on the western front line continued, Liu Fuji looked up and couldn't see anything, but from the dense cannonade, Liu Fuji still felt a chill on his back.

"In the end, it is an industrial country, and this cannon will be the same as setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. In the past, we defeated Japan in Liaodong, and I was a little fluttering, thinking that this European industrial power was only a little stronger than Japan, but now it seems that I am too contemptuous of the strength of the industrial country, if it was a war with Japan, the Japanese artillery should have such strong firepower, and the battle would not be easy to fight. These powers are great powers, except, of course, Russia. Liu Fuji sighed a few words to his subordinates, then took a paper cigarette handed over by one of his subordinates, lit a fire, and smoked while taking the sound of cannons in the west as a pastime.

The mine is only five kilometers from the city. However, the road was so difficult that Liu Fuji did not rush back to the mine until noon, and then summoned his men to unload all the materials and move them to the mine.

After finishing his work, Liu Fuji walked into a wooden house wearing those wet boots, sat down on a stool, took off his boots and socks, and then put them on the stove to bake, and put the pair of cold feet on the stove, his body immediately warmed up, and took the opportunity to eat lunch.

After lunch, Liu Fuji's pair of socks were also dried out, so he put them back on his feet, and then asked his men to bring a pair of cotton shoes.

Liu Fuji picked up the microphone, and Zhang Zongchang's shouting and sporadic gunshots were heard inside.

"Quick! Fast! Hurry up and escort you! It's the other way around in the city! Several regiments mutinied at the same time. Chchakov and I were escorting the Tsar and Empress out of the headquarters. Come here quickly, and wait until we meet."

At this point, the microphone of the phone immediately went silent.

"Hey! Feed! ”

Liu Fuji shouted a few times into the microphone. There was no response, and when I went to shake the crank of the phone, there was no signal at all, and apparently, the phone line was cut. It was no longer possible to get in direct contact with the headquarters in the city of Mogilev.

Obviously, the tsar could no longer control the army, and the revolution was still spreading.

"Assemble! Gather! ”

Liu Fuji pressed down the microphone, and then gave orders to several subordinates in the room.

One of his subordinates brought Liu Fuji's armed belt and pistol over, Liu Fuji took the armed belt, first checked the bullets in the pistol, and then sat on the stool and lifted the pair of boots by the stove.

The boots haven't dried yet, but now they can't care about it, cotton shoes can't step on the mud, Liu Fuji put the boots on his feet, and then stood up. Fasten your belt, don't grab your pistol, stomp your feet. Strode out of the house.

When Liu Fuji walked out of the house, a team had already gathered on the playground.

Although the total strength of this guard was only about 500 men, it was well armed, with 15 Austrian-made machine guns alone, and one rifle per man. There were plenty of bullets, and there were even two stop guns.

Time was pressing, Liu Fuji decided not to bring mountain artillery and move forward lightly, and taking into account the road conditions. The vanguard units at the forefront did not even carry machine guns, only rifles and submachine guns, and went on foot

Enter.

Due to the lack of telephone lines, Liu Fuji did not know what the situation was in the city, but he had agreed with Zhang Zongchang at the beginning. If the phone doesn't work, contact one of the farms in the north of the city. Now, Liu Fuji decided to go to the farm first, and if Zhang Zongchang remembered the agreement between them, he might also use it as a refuge of choice.

At the same time, Liu Fuji also decided to drive out the two tanks in the mine, which were captured German tanks, which were repaired and equipped with the Tsar's Guards, which were the weapons that Rasputin asked the Tsar for. However, there was a lack of gasoline, and the failure rate of the replaced Russian motive was high, so Liu Fuji never used it.

"Out! The first detachment followed me, and the second detachment went to the railroad to intercept the train. ”

Liu Fuji did not do any pre-war mobilization, and many of the officers in this "guard" were actually middle-class people from the same special forces as him. Although they are in a foreign country, they know what they should do and how to carry out the orders of their superiors.
