Taking advantage of the time to eat at noon, Song Biao gathered everyone to sit next to the fire to discuss the following countermeasures.

He already had some ideas in his heart, and when everyone sat down, he said: "Brothers, I estimate that we must live more in the Erwolf Cave during this period, first of all, we must train the brothers first, otherwise, even if some of us have guns, we may not be other people's opponents." A few days ago, a group of Russians ran at the mouth of the Hunjiang River, and I planned to take a team of people over to search and step on the surrounding area by the way. Pillar, you go out with a team. In addition, since we are going to stay for a long time, we have to go out and buy more oil, rice, salt and vinegar, and buy some wine to ward off the cold, and some obstacles should be set up around the Erwolf Cave to prevent someone from hitting our attention. ”

Zhao Tingzhu nodded.

Yang Tiesheng said: "The big boss, I used to be a hunter, and I can make traps, so I will take some brothers to dig some traps around." There is another thing, we have too many horses, forty horses, if we don't continue to run the horse gang, we can eat poor just by eating food, we have to go to the village to buy more bean feed and coarse hay, and we have to buy some salt, otherwise, we horses will have to starve. ”

Song Biao nodded slightly and said to the old golden head: "In this way, you are familiar with the road in this area, you go to find a place nearby to buy goods, and buy good materials for Ma Ye by the way." ”

The old golden head knocked on the smoke pot and said: "Okay, I just don't know how long to prepare the grain, I estimate that there will be another heavy snow in half a month, this is the case in previous years, heavy snow in the solar term, then this year can be enough to choke, the snow is bigger than in previous years, and a heavy snow in half a month will cover the mountain." ”

Song Biao said: "Then let's buy more, be prepared." If you meet the mountain master on other roads, you still use the banner of the horse gang. ”

The old golden head said: "There is one thing, if the mountain master on the road asks about the batch of goods we had some time ago, what should we do?" ”

Song Biao said: "You said that you were robbed by yourself, and you injured a lot of brothers and horses, so you can only raise them on the spot." ”

The old golden head said: "That's a saying. ”

Song Biao continued to say to Yang Tiesheng: "Then you stay and watch the house, I will draw a map for you later, and you will use snow and stones to build a circle of fortifications outside the cave entrance for defense according to my method." Zhang Yahu picked some people in the second team, followed the old gold head out to purchase, and the remaining people wanted to go out to chop more dry firewood, it was best to cut more big trees, let's make a few doors, block the entrance of this hole, and the wind was blowing in the dark at night, and the cold froze to death. ”

"Okay, it's all up to the boss's arrangement!"

Everyone agreed in one breath.

After eating at noon, the wind and snow were much lighter, so Song Biao and Zhao Tingzhu picked six people from a team to follow, rode out to check the situation together, and more people stayed to watch the yard.

The snow outside was knee-deep, and ordinary people could no longer walk far, but it didn't have much effect on Mongolian horses.

At that time, the time was too tight for them to go to Hunjiang County, not to mention that they didn't even know where the county seat was.

Therefore, the most likely destination for them is Hushan Ridge, because the supplies are all here in the caravan, once they encounter such a heavy wind and snow in the wild, they can basically only freeze to death.

Everyone went directly to the Hushan Ridge area to investigate, they are all brothers of the Horse Racing Gang, who have been shuttling in this kind of forest and old forest for many years, and have rich experience, and found some broken branches in the west recess of Hushan Ridge, as if someone was chopping firewood in such a remote place in the wild, and everyone continued to look for it here.

Biao Ye earned enough money in the previous battle, received a few military binoculars, and the three captains received one, but it was still not as good as the 95-type telescope in Song Biao's hand, so Song Biao first found two tents in a pit at the foot of the mountain.

In the past, the fourteen Russian soldiers were frozen into icemen, they set up four tents in the snow, two of which were blown away by the strong wind, and they were hungry and cold, so it was no wonder that they did not freeze to death.

Song Biao jumped off his horse to personally inspect these Russian soldiers, one of them was wearing the same tulup-style black military coat, the texture was very exquisite, and the rank on the shoulder was lieutenant.

The squad in Tsarist Russia is only about seventy-five people, at most two platoons, since there are lieutenants, it means that it is formed according to the specifications of a company, but the number is insufficient, or it may be that some personnel are transferred to the combat unit, and these are logistics troops.

A lot of history is dusty and difficult to excavate, and perhaps at this stage of the Russo-Russian War, the logistics company of Tsarist Russia usually only had two platoons, which is difficult to explain.

If you really want to fight with Tsarist Russia in the future, these are all things to be taken into account.

On this lieutenant, Song Biao found some letters, and also looted two hundred and seventy ruble bills, about three hundred silver yuan.

It just made Song Biao a little embarrassed, and found six grenades on these Russian soldiers, and they were the kind of wooden-handled grenades that imitated Germany.

This is enough to show that the combat effectiveness of the army does not depend solely on equipment and training, and the spirit is also a very important thing, in the words of the British, "the Russians are fighting for dinner, and they are fighting for survival", this phrase is used in this Russo-Russian war in northeast China, how it sounds the biggest mockery of the Chinese.

Alas......!

Song Biao could only sigh, and opened a few letters in his hand that looked more like military letters, only to know that the other party was a lieutenant of the Siberian Infantry Regiment, temporarily transferred to transport supplies to Mukden, and the silver yuan carried in this batch of materials would be used to recruit some horse thieves and bandits in Mukden, so that they would be willing to attack his own troops under the command of the Russians. ”

He smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, the Russian Maozi abacus is very beautiful, and with their urine surname, there are basically few bandit teams willing to follow them.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat.

After picking up the arms and silver yuan, Song Biao continued to instruct the others: "Strip all these Russian hairs, we are also in need of supplies, their coats are too good, it would be a pity to throw them here, if the brothers like it, keep it for themselves." ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and immediately dismounted and looted the tweed coats, leather jackets, military boots, leather satchels, and so on on of the fourteen Russians.

During the Tsarist period, the Russians did not wear socks in the unusually cold region of the Northeast, and they replaced their socks with a very special footcloth, and the boots looked like mummies.

The brothers found more than 400 roubles of dead money, 57 silver dollars, and six 10 rouble gold coins, which were also nine Winchester M1897s.

The lieutenant spent a lot of money to protect his warmth, as well as the honor of his military appearance, and in addition to the specially customized black military coat of tulup, he also spent a lot of money on a pair of dark brown red deerskin felt boots, which are rare specialties of the Far Eastern Siberian region.

Fourteen Mosin Nagant rifles, a batch of grenades, and a lot of ammunition, as well as a Mauser M1896 semi-automatic pistol, the legendary C96 shell gun, made the brothers more convinced that banditry was really more promising than the caravan.

Everyone cut down a few small trees, added tents to make a simple sled, and dragged the supplies back to the two wolf caves with horses.

Song Biao has been very interested in playing with the shell gun on the road, this gun was later improved into a fully automatic pistol, and it can be regarded as one of the originators of submachine pistols, the communist army and [***] were seriously lacking in machine guns in World War II, so this gun was installed as a supplement to grassroots officers, plus various military factories in China were also imitating, at most, there were about hundreds of thousands of shell guns in the Chinese theater of World War II.

The Chinese have a long-standing love for barge guns, which became popular in the last years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Zhang Zuolin often used barge guns as gifts to Qing generals when he first accepted the Manchu Qing court's recruitment, which was very popular with everyone.

There are many tricks and tricks used in this gun in China, for example, because its handle is on the left side, and the old man's upper hand is rubbed on the trouser leg and elbow, which looks particularly vigorous, and there are more tricks to shoot, so that each person has a gun, and each person has a flower job.

Song Biao, who had nine second-hand guns, didn't need this kind of weapon, so he asked Zhao Tingzhu beside him, "Do you want it?" This pistol is still very interesting, but it is difficult to buy this pistol bullet at the moment, you have to save some money! ”

Zhao Tingzhu was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Big boss, don't worry, I will definitely save this point." ”

Song Biao gave him the gun, thought about it for a while, and then took it back in his hand and pointed: "The current rifles and pistols are notched aiming, compared with ordinary pistols, its aiming baseline and barrel are relatively long, and the shooting accuracy and distance are actually higher." It belongs to a semi-automatic design, that is, it can be automatically loaded all the time by pulling the bolt once, the rate of fire is very high, but continuous shooting will cause the muzzle to jump up, so be careful when using this pistol, if there are many targets, you will turn the gun sideways, use the muzzle to jump up and shoot horizontally, or offset 45 degrees inward to outward, if the target is less, then hit one shot at a time. ”

Zhao Tingzhu nodded.

Compared with the Luger 08 in the same period, the continuous firing accuracy of the barge gun is obviously insufficient, and the market in Europe is not large, and the real favorite to use this gun is the early Soviet Red Army and various warlords during the Republic of China.

Because of the strong firepower and long range, if you really have to practice well, the shell gun does have a great advantage over ordinary pistols.
