Chapter 5: New Brothers and Comrades-in-Arms

Even in the period of the Republic of China, the caravan is a very common organization, especially in the northwest, southwest, northeast these areas with inconvenient transportation, they have their own characteristics, generally the northwest caravan is the most armed characteristics, the northeast caravan is weaker in this regard, this is probably because although there are many bandits in the northeast, but they have always paid attention to the rules on the road, as long as the caravan is not bad rules, the bandits are usually not bad rules, both sides can live together to live together.

After resting in the cave of the two wolves, the people of the horse gang went out to chop some dry firewood, lit a bonfire in the cave, gathered together to roast dry food, and took snow and boiled water on the spot.

Three horsemen were wounded, and the caravan helped each other and carefully carried them to the cave to take care of them. The old golden head and a guy named Yang Sangui took care of the wounded together, he was quite experienced, he was not very flustered, and he cleaned the wound with hot water.

After a few glances, he felt that their method was not very good, Song Biao took out a first-aid kit from the captured trophies of the army and the Russian army and walked over, his shock surname was too big, and as soon as he walked over, everyone was very frightened and suddenly dispersed.

Song Biao didn't explain much, put the gun on his shoulder, and carefully examined the injuries of the three people.

Two people were injured by landmines, one of them had his ribs crushed by a fallen horse and cargo, the situation was more complicated, and the third person was hit in the inner thigh by a 30-type rifle of the army, and almost died, but fortunately the bleeding was not large.

The two people injured by the mine were too complicated to deal with in the current situation, so Song Biao decided to deal with the gunshot wound first, so he pulled out his bayonet and cut his pants to carefully examine the wound.

The 30 rifle is the predecessor of the 38 rifle, with a 6.5mm caliber, and now it still uses round-headed bullets, with straight ballistics, high shooting accuracy, low lethality, high immersion, and easy to penetrate the opponent's body.

After Song Biao used a flashlight to clear the wound, he pressed the wound with cotton gauze, and asked the young man who had been wounded by the gunshot, "What's it called?" ”

The young man gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and said, "Li Dayun! ”

Song Biao sneered and said, "You really hit a big luck, the warhead pierced the muscles, and it didn't cause large-scale trauma, so you won't die." Bear with it, I'll disinfect you with alcohol, if you have a gold medicine, take some out, if not, I'll use Xiao Yueben's hemostatic powder. ”

Li Dayun didn't know what disinfection was, so he just looked at it dryly, and the old golden head took out a paper bag from the bag he carried, handed it to Song Biao and said, "Master Shan, this is my family's ancestral gold medicine!" ”

The gang leaders of the horse gang generally have this kind of thing, and the effect is also different, and the real safe choice is obviously the old recipe of Tong Ren Tang, but the price is a little higher, and it may not be able to buy it.

After Song Biao washed his hands and disinfected with alcohol, he then disinfected the wound with iodine wine, and then did a minor surgical operation for him to suture the wound, Song Biao had not done it before, basically took Li Dayun as a little white rabbit, simply sutured two stitches, and then continued to disinfect with iodine wine.

Because there was not much bleeding from the wound, Song Biao did not use the ancestral gold medicine of the old golden head, but only used the hemostatic powder of Xiao Yueben, and finally wrapped the wound with a bandage.

After doing all this, he said to Li Dayun: "Okay, the weather is so cold, it's not easy to get inflamed, just insist on disinfecting with iodine wine in the past few days, and it will almost recover in half a month." ”

Li Dayun thanked happily: "Thank you Song Shanye, you saved one of my cheap lives, but I died of pain from those few stitches just now!" ”

Song Biao said: "It's not a big wound, but it was penetrated by a warhead, and it is difficult to recover without stitches." ”

After he finished speaking, the old golden head hurriedly said: "Song Shanye, you hurry up and cure our old Guo Tou and Erdong and their father and son, I see that they are in a terrible pain, I am afraid that it will not last long!" ”

Because the wounded were placed next to the fire, Song Biao had already seen it clearly, and the other two were really not within the range of what he could handle, but he still wanted to help, so he walked over with the first aid kit.

Depending on the situation, the father and son led a few horses together, and when they were in a panic, a horse stepped on a mine, and at the same time it blew up two people, and one horse fell directly with people and goods, and the weight of five or six hundred catties was pressed on his son Guo Erdong, not to mention that he had been injured by the explosion, even normal people couldn't support such a big weight.

When he arrived at Guo Erdong's side, he pressed the other party's abdomen slightly, which was already as hard as an iron plate, indicating that the internal bleeding was very serious, and even if it was directly transported to the best hospital, it might not be able to save him.

He could only leave it for the time being, and take a closer look at Lao Guotou's injury, the old man was injured on the left side of his body by the explosion, and he was not conscious, and he kept shaking his head in a daze.

After a little examination, he found that Lao Guo's whole body was hot and had begun to have a fever, a phenomenon that was difficult for him to explain, because this kind of weather would not become inflamed in such a short time.

Although he felt that he couldn't save these two people at all, he still treated Lao Guotou's wounds as much as possible, took out all the broken nail pieces in more than a dozen wounds, and did suturing treatment, which can be regarded as a surgeon's addiction and practiced emergency suturing techniques.

Song Biao did it very carefully, trying his best to clean and disinfect the wounds, and many people from the Ma Gang gathered around to see the strangeness, everyone knew in their hearts that Guo Erdong's situation was more urgent, but no one dared to urge Song Biao.

In this process, Guo Erdong was almost rolling on the ground in pain, and several guys who were also very young temporarily pressed his limbs according to Song Biao's instructions to prevent him from moving.

I really couldn't bear it anymore, Zhao Tingzhu and Song Biao persuaded him: "Master Song, can you help Erdongzi take a look?" ”

Song Biao glanced at Guo Erdong coldly, and didn't want to look at it anymore, so he continued to turn his head and calmly clean the wound for the old man, and said: "The internal bleeding is too bad, you can live for a while longer if you don't deal with it, if you really want to deal with it, you have to cut the abdomen and diaphragm to check the stomach and intestines, maybe you can't suture it, not to mention that the sterilization conditions are not standard enough, the suturing of external wounds and the suturing of internal organs are also two concepts, I am not a professional surgeon, whether I can save this old man is a problem!" ”

Hearing this, the guys in the caravan couldn't help but cry and feel very sad.

After treating the big wounds of Lao Guo's head, Song Biao continued to take care of the six Russian soldiers, and he noticed that there was a tall Russian soldier who was born as a non-commissioned officer, probably with the rank of second lieutenant, wearing a tulup-style black sewn white velvet military coat and holding a lever-type Winchester repeating rifle, which left a deep impression on Song Biao.

This impression does not come from the opponent's combat bravery, but from the ornate and unique military uniforms of the opponent.

The wound of the second lieutenant of the Russian army is similar to that of Li Dayun, but it is located in the shoulder, and it is also pierced, which is basically a very common situation of 30-type rifle wounds, just like the 5.8mm caliber bullets used in China.

The significance of our use of 5.8mm high penetration ammunition is to target the bulletproof clothing of the U.S. military, the Chinese army, and the South Korean army, because this is our main opponent, their infantry is well equipped, everyone wears body armor, and ordinary bullets are not effective for them.

Just when Song Biao was treating the wounds of this Russian second lieutenant, Guo Erdong finally died violently, and such a serious internal bleeding situation had long exceeded the scope of Song Biao's training in the army.

Throughout the night, Song Biao was working as a military doctor, stitching and disinfecting wounds for everyone, and there were not many big wounds and many small wounds on the side of the Ma Gang, which also needed to be dealt with one by one.

After being busy for a few hours, Song Biao was already hungry, and the Ma Gang was in a low mood because of the death of a guy, and they all sat silently by the fire to eat dry food.

Song Biao found a quiet place to sit down and took out a box of high-calorie chocolates for his dinner.

The high-calorie chocolate supplied by the military is specially provided to those technicians on night duty, etc., and is a nutritious food, which contains vitamin C, peanuts, sesame seeds and walnut crumbles, crushed and compressed, high heat and high oil.

The old golden head walked to Song Biao's side with his hands behind his back and sat down, took out a dry tobacco from the cloth bag on his waist, stuffed it with tobacco, took two puffs, and said to Song Biao thoughtfully: "Master Biao, I really want to thank you this time, you are a master, and we are not qualified to make friends like you as a horse gang, but we still want to say two words that should not be said!" ”

Song Biao continued to eat his high-end chocolate and said, "Okay, you can say it!" ”

The old golden head said: "Master Biao, we have also run the horse gang for most of our lives, and we have never seen a more ruthless master than you." We know that you are guarding against our group of horse gangs, in fact, you don't have this heart, this goods is not ours, we can't offend your character, as long as you take the goods under the banner of the mountain lord, we will be unlucky, and we have gone so much in vain. The reason why we want to save the Russians is to leave a certificate, and you are willing to give this face, and my old golden head is grateful. But then again, it's really not easy to make this batch of goods that I am eyeing. Although in this place in the Northeast, as long as there are guns, no matter how many people can pull up the team, but at the moment, I estimate that you may be a bare-pole mountain master, with guns and no one, and no one has your own mountain, otherwise you will not run to the territory of Niujiabao to grab a job. Liu Ye of Niujiabao is a real mountain master in this area, known as Liu Copper Cannon, occupying copper mines, with more than a dozen earthen copper cannons in his hands, more than 300 people, and more than 100 foreign guns. ”

Song Biao snorted, but he didn't take it very seriously.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the old golden head continued: "Master Biao, our horse gang has the way and rules of the horse gang, since you robbed the goods, whether you robbed it from yourself or from the Russians, our horse gang is only responsible for delivering goods to the employer, you choose a serious mountain location, we will send it to you, you give a favor, let us leave with the horse team, this matter is over." When we meet friends on the road in the future, we will pass a word to you, so that everyone knows your ability, passing by your lot will give you filial piety on the cost of buying the road, how much is your business, some mountain lords guard the road that must be passed, raise more people and horses, naturally collect a little more, three horses a silver dollar, some mountain lords raise fewer people and horses, guarding those remote places, there are not many merchants and horse gangs, five horses and a silver dollar is almost a thing. You have to make a line with me, I planted it in your hands, and you have to have an explanation when you go out. ”

Song Biao continued to hum, still not in a hurry to answer.

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, he definitely didn't think it through in his heart, so the old golden head persuaded him again: "Master Biao, in fact, my old golden head has an idea, the weight of this batch of goods is too big, if you don't feel cold, you can actually take these goods to Liu Tongpao, maybe you can find a place." Liu Tongpao is famous for having a lot of money and little money, so he relies on those copper cannons to take care of the family, which is also a good place to go. If you dislike Hanqi, I also know a few buyers in Fengtian, all of whom are mountain masters from all walks of life, and everyone wants goods, and the price is definitely not a problem. You are doing your best to our Ma Bang, we still want to say something that should not be said, and it can be regarded as a persuasion to you, you are still young, come to say that Fang Chang, so you will accept it when you see it! ”

Song Biao laughed, he knew that the old golden head saw that he didn't know much of the rules, so he went around the bend to point out to him, a little bandit who had just come out of the oven, and by the way, he also gave him a move, after all, it was such a big sum of money that was difficult to deal with.

How many things are in this batch of goods, the old golden head is afraid that there is no bottom, the Russians will not tell him, and Song Biao does not know, let alone the quantity of this batch of goods, just the trophies captured by Song Biao from the soldiers and the Russian soldiers can arm a team of big bandits.

The old golden head has already reminded of this, and the largest hill near is the Liu Tong cannon in Niujiabao, more than a dozen earthen cannons, more than 100 guns, and more than 300 people.

Song Biao thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered that there was a bag of soft China in his trouser pocket, and he didn't know if it was crushed, so he took out the pottery, pulled out the pack of cigarettes and kept one to smoke, and the others let the old golden head scatter to the people of the horse gang.

After thinking for a while, Song Biao suddenly flashed a thought, and asked the old golden head who had just returned from the smoke and asked, "If you think that I, the master of the light-breaking pole, is a little capable, you can take someone to do it with me." Now we want guns and guns, money and money, what are we afraid of? If you really want to encounter something, you can rest assured that you will give me a hand, and the matter of charging and killing the enemy will not let you go into battle. In other words, I don't want to be a broken mountain master, after surviving this for a while, I just want to get an official vacancy, even if you really follow me, you won't always be a bandit. ”

The old golden head was taken aback, only then did he find that Song Shanye's foreign cigarettes were not easy to smoke, and he hurriedly said: "Master Shan, this line has rules, there are rules, and each has its own rules, you can't pull my people." Our horse gang are all legitimate people with families and children, and we hope that this business will support our families. ”

Song Biao sneered unconvinced, he didn't believe that there was no one in the forty people in this gang who didn't want to use a foreign gun as a mountain master, as long as he could recruit four or five people, he would be able to survive now.

He stood up with the 03 rifle in his hand, and shouted directly to these people in the horse gang: "What I have in my hand is a gun, as long as you are willing to follow me, I will definitely not let you suffer, whether it is a Russian or myself, as long as I am targeted, I can kill you." If you don't want to do it one day, let's split up, and we won't treat you badly if we leave with money! ”

The more than 40 members of the horse gang were stunned when they heard this, and everyone didn't know what to do for a while.

The old golden head was so anxious that he almost wanted to smash Song Biao to death with a wooden stick, but even if he gave him a leopard gall, he didn't dare to do such a thing, and he didn't even dare to let go of a fart, so he looked at everyone stupidly.

Song Biao glanced around, and saw that no one was willing to stand up, so he immediately walked over and threw the cloth bag wrapped in silver yuan rubles on the ground, and said: "Follow me, there is money to divide the money, there is gold to divide the gold, let's not do the business of robbing the house, we can still make a fortune!" ”

Real money is smashed out to be called real.

At this time, the bandits in the Northeast were the same as the chengguan a century later, some were good and some were bad, some were big and some were small, and their reputation was very bad, but they certainly did not worry about their livelihood, nor did they worry about the imperial court sending troops to clean them up, let alone be bullied.

A swarthy young man with a very tall figure and a sturdy physique immediately walked out of the crowd, and said loudly: "Master Biao, as long as you give you a gun, our two tigers will follow you!" ”

Song Biao laughed and said: "Okay, Master Biao will give you a rifle and a pistol, and the best one is the latest for you to choose." ”

While speaking, Song Biao personally kicked in the pile of rifles, picked out an almost brand new Mosin Nagant M1891 rifle and threw it to the swarthy young man first, and then found a Nagant revolver with a delicate leather holster, and said, "This is also yours!" ”

The swarthy young man seemed to be no stranger to rifles, and as soon as he pulled the bolt of the rifle, he was very excited and shouted with the other brethren of the caravan: "Brothers, what a gun! What's the matter, what are you all cowardly, as long as we have a gun in our hands, we are still afraid of scattering, if we encounter Xiao Yueben frustration again, we will fight with them, and avenge Er Dongzi and Lao Guo Tou, our Guo Master has treated you well all these years, don't you all have a fucking urine surname? ”

As soon as he heard this, Hula stood up at once, and more than a dozen horse gang men, everyone finally ripped off their dogskin hats like men, and shouted to Song Biao: "Master Biao, our brothers have followed you." ”

"Good!"

Song Biao agreed, and a man picked out a good gun for him, and threw out twelve Mosin Nagant rifles in one go, recruiting thirteen brothers before and after.

The old golden head was greatly surprised, and looked at everyone without saying anything.

At this moment, Zhao Tingzhu suddenly stood up, stepped forward and hugged his fist with Song Biao and asked, "Master Biao, we also want to follow you!" ”

Song Biao smiled with a little interest: "Okay, I want someone like you." ”

Seeing that these people had the consciousness of beating Xiao Yueben, he said to the other brothers: "Brothers, Xiao Yueben has scraped a lot of compensation from us, reaped enough benefits, occupied our Taiwan Province, and now wants to fight the Northeast, we just want to kill Xiao Yueben to avenge the hatred, if you have the guts, then do it with me!" ”

The brothers of the horse gang who received the guns seemed to have straightened their waists at this moment, and when they were excited, they replied one after another: "Big boss, let's follow you, and we will kill Xiao Yuben's revenge." ”

Zhao Tingzhu also hugged his fists again and greeted Song Biao and said: "Master Biao, we naturally have the guts, from today on, we will be your grandfather's people!" ”

At this time, Li Dayun, who was lying on the felt, also said: "Master Biao, brother, I will also follow you, I was fucking miserable by Xiao Yueben's frustration, and almost dropped the guy who passed the incense, this revenge must be avenged, you also give me a foreign gun!" ”

Hearing this, the brothers burst into laughter.

Song Biao also let out a long laugh, picked up a Mosin Nagant rifle on the ground from his foot and kicked it to Li Dayun, and said, "The gun will be given to you, and when you recover from your injuries, I will take you to kill those dwarf frustrations!" ”

In just such a short period of time, there are already fifteen people who want to follow Song Biao with Zhao Tingzhu and Li Dayun, all of them are young and vigorous young men, the brothers of the Horse Racing Gang go south and north, they are well-informed, hard-working, they are all fast legs in the mountains and forests, as long as they can be trained, they are good soldiers.

Song Biao was very happy in his heart, he now had a large number of guns and ammunition, and even a Makqin heavy machine gun, but he was short of people. If he can really recruit enough people and exercise a little, he really wants to take a team of people to the battlefield immediately to find himself to fight, and take advantage of the period of the Russian War to make a profit.

Let's talk about the Russo-Russian War, although the Manchu court was very wise to maintain its neutrality, but on the battlefield, there were really a lot of bandits outside the border who followed the Russians and Yue himself, especially the most bought by Yue Ben. It was said that the war was originally launched in the name of "defending China's territorial integrity," but naturally it had the upper hand in the public opinion of the Kwantung region, and with the covert support of the Manchu court and high-ranking officials from all sides, they recruited a very large number of bandits in the northeast, scattered in most of the northeast, and did a lot of bad things for the Russians' logistical supplies.

Although Tsarist Russia is not a good thing, it is a hundred times more hateful than Yue Ben at this time, but Song Biao will not help Yue himself even if he chops off his own head, he would rather kill Xiao Yue Ben first, and then find a way to kill Tsarist Russia later.
