ps:

This chapter is Zhang Zuolin's bloodbath in Russia (below), please have a monthly pass, like and support the genuine, thank you

Zhang Zuolin divided the team into three teams, Sun Liechen led 1,000 brothers to attack the police station, Tang Yulin led 1,000 brothers to attack the powder magazine, and 500 brothers followed him and Tian Qifeng to attack the governor's mansion of Gribsky, the military governor of Amur Province. They followed Zhao Si and quickly blended into the Governor's Palace, and Gribsky was still sleeping soundly with his newly married little wife in his arms. There was nothing unusual about the Governor's Palace, and there were not many Russian ** teams nearby.

The Governor's Palace in Gribsky, from the shape of the building, looks like a strong blockhouse, with watchtowers in four directions: south, east, and north. A trench and communication ditch were dug outside the gate, the trench was covered with a thick layer of snow, and in front of it stood several rows of wooden stakes, pulling barbed wires.

More than 100 people followed Zhao Si into the governor's palace from the back door, Zhang Zuolin raised his binoculars to visit the patrol building, and soon found a Russian soldier with a rifle, looking in the direction of Zhang Zuolin, stretching his neck to look to the side, as if something attracted him.

Zhang Zuolin was very worried, bad, were we discovered by him? So he immediately whispered to Tian Qifeng, "Aim at him!" As soon as I say shoot, you'll kill him right away!

Tian Qifeng held the gun, aimed at the head of the Russian soldier with a black muzzle, and replied to Zhang Zuolin very calmly: "Understand, I can shoot him at any time!"

The Russian sentry finally looked left and right, then put the gun on his back and left. Zhang Zuolin's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate suddenly, and he saw in the telescope how the sentry carried the gun on his back, and he didn't shout, knowing that he was too careful, the sentry didn't notice them lurking in the snow near the Governor's Mansion at all.

At this moment, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly came from the direction of the back door of the Governor's Palace. Zhang Zuolin stood up abruptly and said, "Brothers, it seems that the brothers who raided from behind have succeeded and copied the back road of the Russian army." We also went in and captured Gribsky alive. ”

Zhang Zuolin took the Mauser gun and led people to run in the direction of the gate of the Governor's Palace, running about a hundred meters. Suddenly, I heard Tian Qifeng scream: "Brother Yuting, get down quickly, there are Russian soldiers in front!" With her shouting, Zhang Zuolin and the others collectively lay on the snow, and the mountain guns and machine guns were also ready for battle.

The sentry on the watchtower just now, seeing that there seemed to be people in the snow, forty or fifty Russian soldiers with rifles opened the gate and ran out to inspect the strange things they had just seen on the watchtower.

"Bang!" Without waiting for Zhang Zuolin to give an order, the Mauser gun in Tian Qifeng's hand took the lead in firing, and the gun rang out. The Russian lieutenant who was running at the front came to a sudden halt, only to see his knees bent, his body jerked to the side, and he was shot in the forehead. Instant death. With a shot, Tian Qifeng aimed at the new target unusually calmly, and continued to shoot, "Bang!" Bang! Two gunshots rang out, and the two unlucky Russian soldiers in front of them fell to the ground again, shot in the chest, and blood splattered on the white snow.

"Brothers. Give me these damn Russian devils! Zhang Zuolin let out an angry roar, turned around and shouted at the brothers behind him, and rushed forward without hesitation while shooting.

The mountain cannon was fired, and angry shells whistled and blew up two watchtowers at the main entrance of the Governor's Palace, and a huge explosion pierced the silence of the night sky in Nikolaevsk. The Makqin machine gun also sounded "suddenly", and the dense bullets swept down dozens of Russian troops who came out to investigate in an instant.

Zhang Zuolin pulled the trigger sharply. The Russian troops in front opened heavy fire, and his men followed him into the Governor's Palace, where they engaged in fierce fire with the Russian troops guarding the Governor's Palace. The machine gunners also arrived immediately, and fired indiscriminately at the Russian troops on the opposite side, and the more than 300 rounds in the chamber of the guns were quickly exhausted.

The distance between the Russian army and Zhang Zuolin is more than ten meters. People are also more hit, so Zhang Zuolin's fierce shooting has a very good effect, and the Russian army is like a target, beaten into a sieve by dense bullets, and then falls to the ground on his back without saying a word.

This exchange of fire lasted for ten minutes, and Zhang Zuolin knocked down a lieutenant captain who was relatively close to him with one shot, which made the Russian soldiers confused for a while. But Amur Province is a military province, and the guards of the Governor's Palace, after all, are also the best of the well-trained Russian army, and immediately lie on the ground to counterattack, and their firepower is also very fierce, suppressing Zhang Zuolin and the others so that they cannot advance. The brothers who attacked from the back door were also fighting fiercely with the Russian army in the Governor's Palace at this time.

There were casualties on both sides, and there were more than 400 people on Zhang Zuolin's side. But there are more than 200 Russian troops on the opposite side, and it is unrealistic to kill all these Russian soldiers at once. What to do? If this stalemate continues, more Russian soldiers may be recruited.

At this critical juncture, Zhang Zuolin suddenly heard a shout of "kill" behind him, and when he looked back, he saw thousands of brothers pouring out of the door of the governor's mansion, and they rushed over shouting the slogan of killing the enemy. When they were more than 20 meters away from Zhang Zuolin, the light and heavy weapons in their hands opened fire together, and the dense bullets whistled past Zhang Zuolin's head, beating the Russian army's hiding place to pieces, dozens of Russian soldiers were killed on the spot, and the rest saw that the situation was not right, got up and wanted to flee, but they were also shot indiscriminately and fell to the ground.

Zhang Zuolin saw that it was Sun Liechen and Tang Yulin who brought people here. The two saluted Zhang Zuolin and reported: "Big brother, we have been ordered by you to attack the police station and detonate the weapons and ammunition depot, and we have returned from completing the mission, please instruct." ”

When Zhang Zuolin heard that they had completed the task, he slapped his thigh, "Mother, do a good job, follow me into the Governor's Mansion and capture Gribsky's old hairy son alive." ”

Gribsky and the army of Tsarist Russia did not expect the Chinese to dare to take the initiative to attack the Russian army, let alone guard against Zhang Zuolin's group of bandits, Gribsky's pants were not ready, so he hurriedly called the police station to ask what was going on, but unfortunately at this time the huge explosion in Nikolaevsk City was higher than a wave, and the police station also lit a raging fire, the fire illuminated half of the city, and when he felt bad and wanted to escape, Zhang Zuolin had already kicked open his door, and the barrel of the gun was against his head.

Gribsky's little wife is the daughter of a Manchu widow, and she looks very seductive, especially after being frightened. When Zhang Zuolin led someone to break in, she was still wearing pajamas, her clothes were a little revealing, hugging Zhang Zuolin's thighs, and her big tearful eyes looked directly at Zhang Zuolin, hoping that he would let her go. Zhang Zuolin looked her up and down, that is, he looked at her more, but when Tian Qifeng came in, he thought that they were a little ambiguous, and he actually shot the concubine to death, Zhang Zuolin was shocked.

By the time the Russian army in Nikolaevsk reacted, Zhang Zuolin had already captured Gribsky alive and quickly withdrew from the city with his people. The Russian army pursued Zhang Zuolin's team all the way to the Sino-Russian border line of the Ussuri River, and Wu Junsheng had already brought 3,000 new troops to meet Zhang Zuolin and them, and was fully prepared for battle.

After capturing Gribsky, Zhang Zuolin telegraphed to Song Xiaofei and reported on the situation of the sneak attack on the city of Nikolaevsk: his brothers suffered only about 100 casualties, the Russian army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, the police station and powder magazine were blown up, and the military governor Gribsky was captured alive.

When Song Xiaofei heard that Gribsky had been arrested, he remembered that this person in history was the main culprit in the "Hailan Pao Massacre" and the "Jiangdong 64 Tun Massacre", and Gribsky had ordered a person to arrest all the Chinese in Hailan Pao without leaving behind, and heavily armed Tsarist Russian soldiers broke into the homes and shops of Chinese, regardless of men, women, and children, and arrested and escorted them away, "even the baby in his arms was forcibly pulled out." He was the executioner who killed more than 7,000 Chinese compatriots, and he was a colonial leader whose hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese, so he ordered Zhang Zuolin to behead Gribsky for public display!

When Tsar Nicholas II heard that Gribsky, the military governor of the Amur Province, was beheaded by Zhang Zuolin, one can imagine how angry the conceited Tsar was, although the Tsar's teacher, the head of the General Administration of Orthodox Affairs, Pobedonoschev, strongly recommended that he wait for the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway before starting a war with China in the Far East, Nicholas II was still angry, and issued ten holy decrees in one day, asking the Russian Minister to China to negotiate with China, and the Chinese government must exterminate Zhang Zuolin's bandit team within ten days. Otherwise, China and Russia will immediately be at war!!

Song Xiaofei calmly asked Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang to give a tough reply to the Russian Minister to China: "Suppressing bandits is China's internal affair, and no country has the right to interfere!" ”

The Sino-Russian war is about to break out!
