Chapter 316: Railway Guerrillas

Grotekovo is both a railway station and a small town, the town is named after the Russian infantry lieutenant general Ipugrotekovo, opposite the Suifen River in China, like the Suifen River, this town is also pulled by trains, with the construction of the Middle East Road, the town is becoming more and more prosperous.

Especially in the past winter, when the town was at its most prosperous, the black market trade between China and Russia was becoming more and more prosperous, and a large number of Russian merchants flowed through here, and a large number of Russian merchants waited here every day, giving the gold in their hands to the Chinese, and at the same time exchanging back grain more precious than gold.

At its peak, there were hundreds of merchants, but the town's prosperity was destined to be short-lived, as the Feng army launched an attack on the Russian army on the Middle Road, the railway line was also cut off, and the Chinese and Russian sides were tense, and the big war seemed to be imminent, and those Russian merchants disappeared overnight.

The town has regained its tranquility, but the townspeople know that this is only the calm before the storm, and the Russian government has issued several warnings demanding that the Chinese army return the Middle East Road and compensate the Russians, otherwise the Russians will take military action.

The Russians said so, and did the same in their actions, and a lot of food and materials have been transported to the town one after another and hoarded, and it is obvious that the Russians also understand the principle that the army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

In the darkness of the night, about five kilometers away from the town, a small force of more than twenty people was speeding through the forest and heading straight for the dim light of the town.

"Boss, will the Russians find us?"

"Crow's mouth, I found out how it is, I can fight if I can, and run if I can't, didn't I explain my tactics when I came. We're not here to fight hard. Zhang He said indifferently.

Getting closer and closer to the edge of the forest, they only had to wade through a small river to get within a kilometer of the town, and this time they were carrying a total of two mortars, which could teach the Russians a profound lesson.

At this moment, suddenly several torches appeared on the other side of the river, and it turned out to be a Russian sentry, and at this moment a soldier of the Feng army suddenly stepped on a dead branch, and the branch cracked, and a slight clicking sound was heard.

Several Russian soldiers on patrol quickly became alert. They looked in the direction of the woods, and one of them raised his rifle in his hand, and then there was a crisp gunshot, and after the gunshot, several pheasants suddenly flew up in the woods. fluttering and flying.

This was the most common thing in the three eastern provinces, and several other Russians immediately hahadaxiao. It seems to be mocking the timidity of his partner. They looked at it, and then walked away relieved.

At this time, the frightened Fengjun soldiers in the woods put their hearts down, and Zhang Henian took off the dogskin hat on his head at this time, and on the top of the hat, several hairs were burned. The bullet just now was sticking to his hat, as long as it was one centimeter shorter. Zhang Henian's head is afraid that it will be opened.

"Boss, you are really in danger, if we were scared to death, we would have screamed and shot. You're such a man! ”

"Damn, I didn't think the Russians would be so accurate." Zhang Henian scolded: "When he shot at that time, Lao Tzu thought that this life was over, the big guys listened to me, and gave me the strength to do a good job for a while, and to kill these Russians!" ”

"Don't worry, you're welcome."

Zhang Henian took the others out of the woods and waded through the river, and now this month, the river has just thawed, and at night, there is a layer of ice ballast on the bank, and after stepping in, the icy river water suddenly makes everyone shiver.

But fortunately, the river had just crossed the calf, and after everyone quickly crossed the river, they were getting closer and closer to the town, and the two mortars were ready. Now it is getting late, and ordinary people have long since lost their light, only a glimmer of light is still in the station, and the mortars are aimed in the direction of the lights.

"Ready, put!"

A muffled command came out, and six shells slashed through a graceful arc and smashed into the train station, which had been brought in for several days, so there were many warehouses on both sides of the station, and some workers were guarding.

On this day, the soldiers in charge of guarding suddenly heard a strange sound, and when they looked into the sky, the cannonballs had already smashed over, and a violent explosion was heard in an instant, and several soldiers on guard were also injured, and one unlucky egg fell directly into a pool of blood.

After the sound of the cannons, the railway station suddenly became chaotic, and the Russian soldiers who were in charge of guarding were all alarmed, and some of them rushed out of the barracks with their weapons without even bothering to put on clothes.

Just when the Russians were panicking, Zhang Henian commanded the soldiers and continued to hurry up and open fire, they fired six shells in each direction, and more than 20 shells fell in the railway station before and after, and a few shells fell on the temporary warehouse by chance, and the hoarded flour was ignited at once, and the warehouse suddenly turned into a large candle.

"Brothers, work hard, aim at the fire, and keep shooting for me!"

While Zhang Henian was directing the shooting, some Russian soldiers had already sensed their direction, and they all rushed over, shouting and screaming, looking angry and ruined, obviously angry to the extreme. These dastardly bastards not only disturbed their dreams, but also set the food hoarded at the station on fire.

This is their military rations, they have all been burned, how can they live? These Russians desperately killed the Feng army, Zhang Henian waved his hand, and led a dozen or so soldiers to meet them, they used the wild grass as a cover and shot at the Russians.

Zhang Henian's first shot hit the Russian who was running in the front, a shot passed through the chest, the Russian soldier fell to the ground, and the other Feng soldiers also shot one after another, and those who could carry out the attack and harassment mission were all the elite of the Feng army, and their marksmanship was very superb.

In the face of the panicked Russians, they appeared very calm, and shot at the Russians unhurriedly, and the larger and larger Russians fell to the ground, while they were unscathed.

At this time, the mortars were also aimed, and all twelve shells of Zuihou were shot out, and the sound of explosions in the station continued. Just after a cannonball fell, there was a sudden loud bang, followed by a ball of fire, which shot straight into the sky, and the scene even resembled a volcanic eruption.

The soldiers who fired the shells were also frightened, and looked at the direction of the railway station blankly, only to see the flames rising into the sky, full of twenty or thirty meters high, under the background of the firelight, you can see countless Russian soldiers scattered and fleeing. Some people ran slowly, and they were swallowed up by the flames, and they were burned alive.

"Don't look at it, you want the Russians to kill you!" Zhang Henian also withdrew with other soldiers.

"Boss, our mortars aren't that powerful. How so? ”

"What's wrong with this, it must be that your kid shot at the other party's oil depot. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this! ”

Zhang Henian's guess was not bad at all. A shell from Zuihou landed right on top of the makeshift kerosene warehouse, which contained forty or fifty barrels of kerosene, and after being hit by the shell, all of them exploded, and as the kerosene flowed around, the fire was carried everywhere. Suddenly, the small train station was shrouded in flames.

The Russian soldiers in charge of guarding the station all went crazy, they tried to extinguish the flames, but found that everything was in vain, a large amount of kerosene was burning. The best way is to wait for it to burn out, and there is no other way at all.

In the midst of the raging flames, there was a constant sound of explosions, and the remaining kerosene drums were constantly exploding under the high temperature, and every time there exploded, flames burst out, enveloping other warehouses, and all the grain stored on the station was engulfed by the fire.

When the commander of the Russian army saw this situation, he was completely mad, and all the 100,000 catties of grain were in vain, which the Russians had finally mobilized and were ready to use as food to attack the Feng army, but now that it was all over, I was afraid that the commanders of the Russian army would go crazy.

Seeing the fire in the sky, the Russians also came to their senses, the fire could not be saved, and only by catching the people who attacked the train station and being broken into thousands of pieces by them could they get out of this evil breath, and more and more Russian soldiers were desperate to pursue Zhang Henian and them.

At this time, Zhang Henian fought and retreated, he had already crossed the river, he also knew that he was in big trouble this time, and he wanted to attack the Russians, but he didn't expect to accidentally play big, the whole train station was going to be finished, and the Russian soldiers were all crazy, Zhang Henian hurriedly asked the other soldiers to throw out the haode propaganda leaflets that had been prepared for a long time.

It is all written in Russian, and the general meaning is to oppose the imperialist war, all the workers to take action, to overthrow the Provisional Government, to make peace and bread......

This tone is completely the tone of the majority party, Feng Jun absolutely insists on doing good deeds without leaving a name, if he has to leave his name, then he can only leave the name of the majority party, let them bear this black cauldron, Feng Jun will not be stupid enough to bear the charge of casual provocation.

Zhang Henian quickly retreated into the woods with his soldiers, at this time the crazy Russians had rushed over, Zhang Henian and they relied on the cover of the woods, quickly shot at the Russians, and more than a dozen Russians were killed, and the Russian army behind had not yet been killed, they seized this opportunity and fled as fast as possible.

After running five or six kilometers, there were their war horses here, Zhang Henian counted the number of people, one was not many, and only two soldiers had their arms bruised, this operation can be described as a complete success, they rode on the war horses in high spirits, and disappeared into the vast night with a smoke.

In this attack, a total of sixty or seventy Russian soldiers were killed, some were killed by shells, some were burned by fire, some were killed during the pursuit, and all the railway stations were burned down, and there was no food and kerosene left for lighting.

But this was only one of many raids, and in the other direction, a detachment of two or three hundred cavalry was rapidly approaching the city of Nikolsk-Ussuriysky, an important town along the Trans-Siberian Railway, which later became Ussuriysk, which had another name, Twin Cities!

In history, the Ming Dynasty was the first to establish the Shuangchengwei to guard here, and when the Manchu Qing Dynasty arrived, the dim-witted Manchu court ceded a large area of "barren land" east of the Ussuri River to Russia, and then Russia built the Trans-Siberian Railway here, and the Russians' bear paws stretched out to the Pacific region.

Twin Cities is an important link between Buri and Vladivostok, and can be regarded as the transportation hub of the region, and its location is extremely important. Leading this small force of Feng was Ma Zhanshan, who targeted a prison on the outskirts of the city, which, according to accurate information, contained a large number of political prisoners, almost all of whom were majority party members, who opposed the rule of the tsars and were imprisoned, although all of them had considerable influence.

Fengjun's goal this time is to release them all and let these demons disrupt Russia. Ma Zhanshan and they were all wearing Russian military uniforms, and there were some Cossack cavalry decorations on their bodies, which were far away and could not be distinguished, and Zhang Tinglan also prepared more than a dozen Russian mercenaries for them, which made it even more possible to confuse the real with the fake.

They finally approached the gate of the prison, and the soldiers in charge of the guards took the initiative to come over to ask questions, who knew that Ma Zhanshan had been pointed at his head with a cold gun. (To be continued......)
