Chapter 249: Wealth of the Country

After seeing these black spots, Wu Fenglou secretly shouted that it was not good, the middle [***] team must have rushed from the south to respond, and now the team that appeared from the north is definitely the enemy, of course, it is not clear whether it is the Russians or other troops, but it is definitely not a good thing!

"Gather the sleds in one place, the third brigade guards the sleds, and the others are ready for battle!"

After the order was given, these soldiers immediately gathered the sled team, and they were ready for battle, at this time the team in the distance was getting closer and closer, and they could clearly see that this group of men and horses was about two or three thousand, wrapped in all kinds of strange skins, not very neat, and then looked at the flag, and finally distinguished, it turned out that this was the Czechoslovak Legion.

Czechoslovakia was originally part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and a large number of Austro-Hungarian soldiers were captured by Russia on the Eastern Front, and after the end of World War I, when Austria-Hungary and Tsarist Russia were disintegrated, and when the Allies began to intervene in the Russian Revolution, they armed all these prisoners to form the Czechoslovak Army.

However, as the war progressed, the majority party had firmly held the upper hand, and seeing that the intervention army was about to collapse, the Czechoslovak regiments, which were still fighting in the Far East, now longed for the most to be able to return home safely, so they wanted to seize Kolchak, and then exchange this White Russian consul for a chance to return home with the majority, and they had been watching Kolchak's marching procession.

When they heard that the cold had taken a large number of lives, they were immediately overjoyed, thinking that their opportunity had finally come, and that Kolchak's army had no combat effectiveness and was completely a lamb to the slaughter, and the Czechoslovak regiment rushed up like a wolf that smelled fish.

However, they were still a step late, after Kolchak was taken away by Wu Fenglou, Feng Shaoyu and others, the Russians did not know at first, and when they found out that their leader had fled, these poor people could no longer control it, the extreme cold had taken away most of their lives, and now there was no leader, what hope did they have, so the remaining 700,000 people fled one after another.

They were at a loss, some fled north, completely engulfed by the wind and snow, some simply ran back, left and right were just a death, it was better to give their lives to the majority of the party, most of them continued to flee to the east, it was a precarious team, now it is divided, there is no hope of survival, and in the end less than a thousand people escaped for their lives, the rest of them all froze to death in the desert, and finally the people loyal to the tsar also died.

And when the Czechoslovak Legion arrived, they happened to see the Russians fleeing in all directions, as if the sky had fallen, and from the mouths of these Russians, they learned that Kolchak had fled with gold first, and the Czechoslovak Legion was also surprised, it stands to reason that Kolchak could only flee to the east, and only by rushing to the Far East could there be hope, and his own people chased from the east, and did not run into Kolchak at all.

Can Kolchak still fly, and even if he can escape, can the gold still be gone? The Czechs immediately began to search around, and it stands to reason that thousands of sleds retreating south will definitely leave traces, but it is a pity that in the past few days, the heavy snowfall and strong winds have covered all traces, and Kolchak and gold have disappeared out of thin air.

But the Czechs are not stupid, they carefully analyzed, and found that Kolchak definitely did not flee to the east, otherwise they would definitely have found out, and the north is even more impossible, that is a dead end to the North Pole, to the west? Wouldn't that be arrested by the majority party?

In this way, the only direction that Kolchak could go was the south, and it was only at this time that the Czechs suddenly realized that there was a huge country in the south of Russia, and it was warmer there, especially the Chinese were also involved in the intervention army, and they certainly did not expect that the Chinese would interfere in the gold matter.

In their eyes, China is still the sick man of East Asia with long braids and immersed in opium, how can they plan such a difficult thing, maybe Kolchak took the initiative to leave his subordinates behind and wanted to borrow from China, thinking of this, the Czechs can't wait any longer, they must act quickly, and they must not let Kolchak escape.

The Czechoslovak Legion pursued for more than a day and finally found a clue, it is certain that there was definitely a team running south, the thirst for gold made these Czechs go crazy and chase south, after a difficult trek, they finally saw the shadow of a sled team, the prey was in front of them, and the Czechs immediately prepared to attack.

Wu Fenglou's heart was also a little heavy at this time, he now has a special combat team of 500 people, and more than 700 capable soldiers, these people have to defend gold, as well as monitor those Russians, and fight against the Czechoslovak Legion, it is indeed not easy.

Although the special combat team is the elite of the elite, but the special combat team is not omnipotent, and it also has its own weaknesses, as a special forces pay attention to surprise, a fatal blow, as if it is a hidden weapon, if there is an encounter with the regular army, it is like using a small flying knife and the opponent's machete to fight, it is very disadvantageous.

However, Wu Fenglou and the others didn't care about anything, no matter who came, they couldn't let them give up the gold, even if they lost their lives, and soon the Czechs began to attack, they concentrated more than five hundred cavalry and rushed over to this side, and these Czechs let out a strange roar in their mouths, like a bunch of wild beasts.

They may have been fascinated by the gold, and made a fatal mistake, launching a charge in the snow more than half a meter thick, which was definitely a huge drain on the war horses, and the speed was also restricted, no matter how they whipped, the speed of the war horses could not be raised, and some of the war horses could not stop skidding, and soon their own team was already in chaos.

After the cavalry lost the advantage of speed, the threat was cut by half, and the soldiers sent to transport the gold were the elite of the elite, and the marksmanship was almost all 100 shots, especially now that they were equipped with submachine guns, the firepower was very strong, and the chest of the cavalry who rushed to the front was pierced, and the heart and lungs were all left, and the snow was stained with a layer of demonic blood, and the other Czech cavalry were also constantly killed, falling on the snow like dumplings, and soon became ice cubes one by one.

In just twenty minutes, more than two hundred Czech cavalry were killed, with greed for gold, and the desire for family remained forever in this desert, and the commander in the back saw this situation, and immediately ordered the cavalry to retreat, and after a brief rectification, the Czechs began to abandon their horses, put white cloth on their bodies, and killed them from three directions, their purpose was clear, that is, to break up these soldiers, and then seize all the gold.

For this reason, they also took out only four heavy machine guns, facing the Jacks regiment from three sides, the situation of the Chinese side is getting worse and worse, in order to speed up the march, there are no heavy machine guns at all, and now in the face of the attack of the Czechs, the Chinese side can only use rifles and submachine guns to return fire, and what is worse is that it is all snow, and the Chinese soldiers cannot build fortifications at all, and are completely in a situation of passive beating.

However, since it was China's elite troops, their tenacity was also beyond ordinary people, and with the cover provided by the wind and snow, they continued to shoot accurately at the Czechs, and soon the dense charging team began to thin out, and nearly 200 Czech soldiers were killed.

On the Chinese side, there are more than 60 people sacrificed, and some people are only injured, but in this cold weather, a large amount of blood is lost, and the human body loses its ability to resist the cold.

Now seeing that they all fell silently in the snow, Wu Fenglou's heart was also extremely uncomfortable, but what could he do, he could only sprinkle his anger on these Czechs.

Wu Fenglou's body rolled suddenly in the snow, and the gun in his hand fired two accurate point shots, and the two Czech officers fell to the ground in response, but as the Czechs approached more and more, the marksmanship advantage of the [***] team was not obvious enough, at a distance of more than 100 meters, these Czech veterans could also easily hit the Chinese soldiers, and the casualty ratio of both sides was constantly shrinking.

At this precarious time, Feng Shaoyu quietly flowed to the front of Wu Fenglou, "Boss! We can't fight so hard, I think it's better to drive out all those Russians, let them use us as shields, and also consume the firepower of the Czechs and delay time! ”

As soon as Wu Fenglou heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, this idea was really good, only he was still a little puzzled, "Shaoyu, those Russians will not cooperate with the Czechs in turn, let's attack us, you must know that they are all white!" ”

"Boss, don't worry, it seems that the Czechs have not recognized us as Chinese, only when we are Kolchak's subordinates, let these Russians rush out, they will definitely shoot!"

Wu Fenglou thought about it for a while, and nodded in agreement, Feng Shaoyu immediately went over to arrange, and suddenly all those Russians were hit, driven by the Chinese soldiers, these people reluctantly rushed towards the Czechs, the Czechs saw that the other party actually launched a counter-charge, without any hesitation, and suddenly the machine gun swept over, although these Russians kept shouting not to shoot, but it was too late, the Czechs' bullets swept towards them as if they didn't want money.

Soon more than 300 Russians were swept away, and the speed of this killing was indeed not slow, and more than 1,000 Russians did not even last an hour, and all died on the spot, until the blood turned the snow into a bloody field, and the massacre was not over.

The [***] team also took the opportunity to recover their strength, but there was not much joy, they consumed all the coachmen, if the domestic reinforcements could not arrive quickly, of course, they would have contacted the domestic side through the radio, but in this white wasteland, whether they could be found or not was still between the two, as long as there was a slight deviation, it would be far from the same, and the consequences would be unimaginable at that time.

When Wu Fenglou and the others were nervous, a team of about 5,000 people rushed over to the battlefield under the leadership of Xu Shuzheng, this army was divided into two parts, one part was the elite soldiers of the Sichuan system, the leader was Liu Wenhui, and the other part was the elite of Beiyang.

The two parts of the men and horses finally found the location of the battlefield through the sound of gunfire, they quickly divided into two teams, surrounded the Czechoslovak Legion, and this batch of gold finally fell firmly into the hands of the Chinese!
