"Big Scar, your news is not reliable, why don't I look at it there!"
"Boss Mao, aren't you scared, you see, there are thousands of workers on this construction site, as well as residences, granaries, and shops, which is no less than the money of a small town. When my people got in, they found that they were paid on the 10th of every month, and the transport team was trucks and guards, so we didn't dare to mess with them, but the money was easy to do when it got to the workers. There are only 10 guards with guns on such a large construction site, and we have more than 600 people and more than 300 guns. So many brothers have died, this time it should be worth some interest! "Mao Wu and Liu Dascar have fled into the mountains with people since the first battle in Heyuan, and the loss of troops will be embarrassed. Later, after recuperating in the mountains for a period of time, the scattered bandits gathered again after hearing the letter, and together with the Manchu deserters, they gathered more than 500 people in two months. After breaking a few poor villages in the mountains, his vitality finally recovered, and he also had some shotguns and bird barrels in his hands. Originally, I thought that the mountain would do a few votes to make my hands more comfortable, but I didn't expect that the rebel party had already occupied the whole province of Guangdong, and some smaller villages had militias, and large villages and towns had police stations, and there were a lot of people and guns, so they didn't dare to provoke easily. Reluctantly, he retreated to the mountains, sent people around to look for opportunities, and finally found an opportunity to make a fortune on a railway construction site.
There was a lot of money and food in the old nest in the west of Guangzhou, but now there are gray roads everywhere, and there are patrolling troops, militiamen, and policemen everywhere, and it is easy to be found out of the mountains, but fortunately, the mountains in northern Guangdong are sparsely populated, and the provisional government has not taken care of stationing in this area, but life is tight.
"Xianjiang, call everyone to finish work and eat!" The overseer shouted to Kene, who was directing the workers to install the rails. After working in the construction team for more than a year, Xianjiang also grew into a sturdy young man, and because of his willingness to work hard and learn in the literacy class, he was soon promoted to the position of team leader, with more than 50 brothers under his command. Xianjiang has mastered certain skills and can command the installation of railroad tracks, which is very important to the supervisors.
"Brothers, call it a day!" Xianjiang shouted, everyone began to pack up their utensils and return to the temporary camp, and a few familiar old fritters quipped: "Captain Xianjiang, when will you go back to your hometown to get married?" ”
"Third brother, let's talk about it when we go back for the New Year." The third brother is also called by generation, but there is no blood relationship.
"Xianjiang is in a hurry, speaking of which, there is a girl in the family, so it's called life!"
", I see you kid is missing a woman!"
"You don't want to, you still talk in your dreams when you sleep last night: 'Guilan, Guilan', hahahaha!" A large crowd of people made their way to the makeshift camp with vulgar jokes, while two members of the escort mounted their bicycles and walked back. The Railway Guard, an armed organization formed by the railway department itself, is composed of workers who are trained and assigned to various construction sites, each armed with a rifle, 50 rounds of ammunition and a bicycle. On average, there are ten guards for every 1,000 people, but this is not the entire armed force of the construction site, of course, Mao Wu and the others, who are lurking a few miles away, do not know about this.
"Little Liangzi, be careful when it's dark, ride slowly!" Zhou Hai, the captain of the ten-people, shouted to the team members who were riding fast in front, and they worked in pairs. Xiao Liangzi slowed down and complained: "Captain, our escort team is not as majestic as the field army, it was better to join the army directly, but now that it is called, it is called the railway escort team, and I am embarrassed to tell my family!" ”
"You kid, what's the call, haven't you heard, let's directly adapt it into a railway police in the future, it's not majestic enough?" Speaking of which, they heard the sound of "piu", and before the two could react, another gunshot rang out, and a bullet flew through Xiao Liangzi's cheek, bringing up a blood line.
"Smack", Mao Wuyi slapped the gunman on the head and scolded: "Silly X, I can't hit it so closely, brothers, give it to me, whoever grabs the rifle will use it!" "The bandits lying in the grass swarmed up, and nearly 600 people were first divided into five groups to deal with ten guards each, as long as these separate guards were killed, those workers would be fish and meat on the board!
"Little Liangzi, get in the car and run!" The two of them were first frightened by the sound of gunshots, jumped off the bicycle and lay on the ground, because they were nervous that the guns on their backs were not taken off, and seeing how many people rushed over in the night, Zhou Hai suddenly felt bad, they were rushing to the guns! The workers have returned to the camp and must rush back to report as soon as possible!
The two hurriedly rode into the car, and the robbers behind them were less than ten meters, seeing that the two were about to run, several robbers raised their guns, "Smack!" "One bullet hit the back seat of Zhou Hai's bicycle, and the other two muskets exploded directly!
"I'm X, what a broken gun, chase me!" Mao Wu scolded, and without looking at the two gunmen who were injured by the explosion, he ordered his subordinates. Life and death are fate, who doesn't pin their heads to the waistband of their pants, not to mention that they are only injured and not dead! I'll be back later to greet the two brothers.
According to the regulations, the guards left the construction site 10 minutes later than the workers, and just after the workers arrived at the makeshift camp, they heard gunfire in several places. "There are bandits, the guards go to the warehouse to get guns and bullets, and the rest are gathered in the center of the camp!" The overseer was a genetic man who immediately gave the order when he heard the gunshots. The workers accepted a semi-military management, and their ability to understand orders was not low, and they acted quickly. The armed forces set up by the railway department -- the railway guard are divided into regular members and temporary members, and the regular members are Zhou Hai's people, and the temporary members are also selected from among the workers, who train one day a week and do not delay their work on weekdays, so they can be regarded as a reserve force.
Xianjiang ran to the side of the warehouse, most of the temporary team members had arrived, a total of fifty people, the overseer asked Xianjiang to distribute weapons and ammunition with him, and then lined up and went to the main gate of the camp.
When I arrived at the gate, I saw ten guards running desperately on bicycles, one of them lying on his bicycle, as if he was injured, he tried to control the bicycle, and the other pulled his bicycle with one hand. The temporary team members rushed to support, picked up the injured team members, and then ran towards the gate. Not far away, around the corner, the figure of the bandit appeared.
"Quick, close the door, let's go to the wall!" The wooden walls on both sides were also not high, and the team members climbed small ladders to hide behind the walls, waiting for orders from the overseers.
"Made! How can you run so fast! Liu Dascar, how many did you kill? Mao Wu squatted on the ground and gasped for breath, chasing the bicycle and running wildly but was still left behind, and finally let the family hide in the camp.
"Don't mention it, I run faster than a rabbit, I don't know where to fly with the first shot, and I disappear before the second shot is loaded!" Liu Dascar was also tired enough, and stood two hundred meters in front of the camp with the bandits to rest.
"People ran in, can we still fight?"
"If you don't beat us and drink the northwest wind, the wooden door and wooden wall will be broken as soon as you stab it, I think those guards are also half-hanging, far worse than the rebel army, let our brothers take a breath, and then go in to eat and drink spicy food!" Mao Wu was more able to speak than Liu Dascar, and soon his subordinates became murderous.
The overseer had the injured guards carried back for treatment, and the workers were armed with shovels and shovels to prevent the bandits from rushing in. The workers are no longer honest peasant families, the slogans of defending property and railways have come and gone, ideological education after work has played a role, and the ferocity peculiar to the barbarians in Guangdong has appeared on the workers again, and some people even shouted to go out and fight the bandits, but were stopped by the leaders.
Hundreds of bandits rushed forward with machetes and spears in hand, the battle of a few months ago still fresh in their minds, and they had also learned to spread out and bend down to charge to avoid bullets. The camp gate was narrow, and the wall could only accommodate thirty guards, and the overseer gave an order, Xian Jiang pulled the bolt of the gun and raised his head, and did not shoot for a while-the bandits moved left and right, and they were spread out, and it was difficult to aim, he was not a professional soldier, even a few regular members of the team were a little tricky. Shots rang out, and only a few of the bandits were hit, and they saw that the camp was sparse and the threat was not great, and the charge increased.
After entering a few tens of meters, the accuracy finally increased, the frequency of fire increased, and a dozen more bandits were hit, but they were already close to the wooden wall. The official team members threw out grenades, "Boom! "The distance was too close, and the wooden walls were impacted, and the bandits who rushed close to the wooden walls fell one by one, and those behind quickly retreated.
"Boss Mao, there are many people in the front, and the wooden wall is not high, just let the brothers go around from both sides and rush into the camp by ladder, I see how they resist!" Liu Dascar said, this time he lost more than 20 people, which is really unlucky.
