Chapter 720: Surprise Attack

The train that was originally in order was chaotic because of a sudden braking.

If it is a train run by the Ministry of Transport in Siberia, you will definitely be prepared for the climate here. This is like the aircraft carriers of World War II, British aircraft carriers often have to sail in the Atlantic Ocean in a harsh environment, so they usually use a fully enclosed design, and those in the Pacific Ocean are relatively less closed―――――― of course, this refers to the aircraft carriers of those countries fighting in the Pacific...

It is not possible to say which design is better, it can only be said that it is an appropriate adjustment to the environment. After all, if you are fighting in the Pacific, there is no need for a fully enclosed design.

Anyway, the planes of that era were not so delicate, and even if the environment at sea was relatively humid, they did not have as much influence as the planes of later generations.

The trains operated by the Ministry of Transport in Siberia were designed after some research and preparation for the cold conditions in the north. I dare not say that it is compared with the air-conditioned cars of later generations, but at least it is relatively relaxed.

In the Siberian region, there is even a specially designed type of train, each train has a coal-fired boiler, and a conductor is dedicated to burn it to ensure that each carriage is relatively warm. Naturally, the cost of doing so must be very large, so the fare is also much higher, so ordinary people will not choose this kind of train, at least ordinary people will never choose this kind of train.

Although Kolchak and his train had never been to Siberia in the past, it was actually very cold in the north of Russia. Therefore, it is also very adaptable to the climatic conditions of Siberia, so there will be absolutely no problems even if you drive directly in Siberia, which I have been driving in Siberia for so long some time ago. I don't dare to say that it is unimpeded, but I have not encountered any trouble.

Now the train suddenly braked suddenly, which naturally made the unprepared people turn on their backs.

Quickly steady, Kolchak walked to the door of the carriage and pulled it open, then walked briskly outside. At this time, Kolchak's heart was already very nervous, and his vigilance had always been very high, after all, anyone who walked on the territory of the 'enemy' with 100 million pounds worth of gold. I will be careful in my heart. It's just that he relaxed a lot because there had been no accidents along the way, and now something like this happened suddenly, although it wasn't clear what was going on. But it was enough to make him vigilant again.

It's just that Kolchak, who was busy walking out, obviously didn't notice the strange gaze of Pepelyaev and a few others behind him.

"What the hell is going on!"

After getting out of the carriage, Kolcha stopped a panicked officer and asked sharply.

Now his biggest concern is whether the Chinese have discovered the secret of gold. I want to do it in this place where I didn't see the village before and there was no store behind it. Snatch the gold, and by the way, kill these people who know the secrets of gold.

"Your Excellency, it's not clear at the moment, I'm waiting for the previous report!" The officer was suddenly dragged and was about to turn his face, but when he saw that it was Kolchak who was dragging him, he immediately replied respectfully.

Hearing him say this, Kolchak nodded, knowing in his heart that it would not be easy for them to get the details in such a short time. So he spoke at once. "Mobilize the guards first and make them more vigilant. Be careful and get ready for battle! ”

"Yes!" The officer saluted Kolchak. "I'll do it!" With that, the officer turned and left.

It was at this time that Kolchak's wife came from the carriage with the child in her arms.

"Did something happen..."

Before leaving, Kolchak had told her about some possible dangers of the trip, so after getting out of the carriage, Kolchak's wife turned pale and hugged her child tightly with her arms.

Seeing his wife come out of the carriage, Kolchak hurriedly walked up. "I don't know, you and the child should go back to the carriage first..."

"But..."

Seeing his wife's worried look, although he was also a little anxious, Kolchak comforted. "Don't worry, with me here, there won't be any problems..."

Looking at Kolchak's appearance, his wife Sophia hesitated for a moment and then nodded hesitantly.

Finally persuaded his wife back to the carriage, Kolchak breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go outside to see what was going on, when he happened to see Pepelyaev and others behind him.

Pepelyaev and the others arrived early, and they had been watching Kolchak comforting his wife there with cold eyes, and now that they had finally left, Pepelyaev stepped forward and asked.

"What's going on?"

"It's not very clear..."After making sure that his wife had indeed walked into the carriage with the child in her arms, Kolchak tidied up his clothes and walked outside surrounded by Pepelyaev and others. On the way, he met a general.

"Your Excellency..."

This general originally came to look for Kolchak, but now he met Kolchak and was overjoyed.

"What's wrong?"

For Kolchak, the most important thing at the moment was to know what was going on outside, so he hurriedly asked.

"According to the previous report, it seems that the railroad was blown up..."

Hearing this, Kolchak's heart suddenly tightened. "Who did that?"

"I don't knowβ€”" the general shook his head. However, according to the driver, it is likely to be a local resistance organization, since the Chinese occupied this place, there have often been resistance groups doing this, and recently after the Chinese took measures of exile, although the situation has eased slightly, it is also common, this time I am afraid that we have encountered it..." Saying that, seeing Kolchak's nervous look, the general persuaded. "Don't worry, Your Excellency, there will be no problem..."

Although the rank of this general is high enough, he does not know about the matter of gold. Naturally, they didn't understand how big the danger was facing, and they weren't very nervous.

He had already heard from the staff on the train that this kind of thing was indeed relatively common. Of course, it is common to refer to the fact that in previous years, since the Commune government had exiled those who dared to support the Resistance, this kind of thing has been slightly lessened.

Now it seems that they were just unlucky and ran into it again.

And...

It's late at night, and there's silence all around. If it was true that someone had blown up the railroad when they were coming, then they would have heard the explosion and seen the fire far away. But they didn't see anything along the way, so it was not premeditated, so naturally there was no need to worry...

Hearing this, Kolchak was a little relieved. But he still didn't let his guard down. It wasn't until the Guards sent back the news that nothing had happened around Kolchak that Kolchak was finally relieved.

"How long will it take to fix it?" After finally relieving himself, Kolchak looked around or so. Although it has been determined that the matter is not what the Chinese say, Kolchak's heart is still very worried, after all, the longer he stays in this kind of place, the more dangerous it is.

"It's not clear, it depends on when the Chinese arrive..." Speaking of this, he looked at Kolchak's face. A general shook his head. "We don't have any equipment on our cars, so we have to wait for someone from the Chinese Ministry of Communications to come over..."

Bow slightly. Looking out the window, Kolchak's heart was a little helpless.

He used to have a good impression of those resistance groups, after all, these Russians have never stopped their resistance without outside assistance, which is really gratifying to him, the nominal leader of Russia, but now...

You must know that now he is carrying the hope of Russian revival, and his heart naturally becomes annoyed, complaining about why these guys didn't come at another time, but they want to make such a thing at this time, interfering with his plan...

At this time, neither Kolchak nor the guards who had already gotten off the train and surrounded the train had obviously noticed a group of men in black uniforms on a nearby hill that was not very high, and at this moment, they were using binoculars to pay attention to the movement on the train.

And the lights on the train make the people on the train not have the slightest secret about them.

"You're already aiming, aren't you?" One of them, in military uniforms, walked up to a soldier who was lying on the ground and asked softly.

"Don't worry, they won't be able to escape...", without looking back, through the scope, the soldier pointed his gun at one of the Russian soldiers in the light.

And next to him, there were at least dozens of snipers who were also lying on the ground. In addition, there are hundreds of Wehrmacht officers and soldiers, who are standing quietly in the forest.

In such a dark night, for them, the military uniform on their body is the best protective clothing, and the pure black on the military uniform is the best protective color.

These people are all carefully selected by Cai Yi in the Ural Military Region, and they can be said to be the elite of the National Defense Force. Once on the Western Front in Europe, almost everyone has rolled a few times in the sea of corpses and blood, take the group of snipers just now, among them, the lowest record has also shot more than 30 German soldiers on the Western Front, including a colonel. Although they had never performed a similar task, they did not find it difficult at all.

As for those Russians below? In their eyes, they are already dead.

――――――――――――――――――――

Because of the sudden stop of the train, all the people who had fallen asleep because of the dark night suddenly woke up, and the atmosphere on the train became much more lively.

But the people weren't nervous or anything, because it had been explained to them very clearly. It was only because of the destruction of the railroad by the Resistance that they had to stop on the tracks and could not move forward.

Unlike Kolchak's helplessness, the other passengers in the car were much more annoyed.

It is not surprising that since they can ride the same train with Kolchak and them, they will inevitably be high-ranking officials or dignitaries in the provisional government. For them, the country or something may be a little important. But what is more important is obviously their convenience.

If it had been in normal times, maybe they would have given some appreciation to the actions of the resistance groups, but now. Since they are in their way, it will be difficult for these dignitaries to give those people a good look...

Listening to the complaints of these dignitaries, the government officials and officers and soldiers who were in the same car showed a trace of helplessness on their faces. But they are more or less aware of the virtues of these people, so they don't say anything other than they dislike them even more...

At this time, apparently, no one noticed that in one of the cars of the train, Pepelyaev and some others. We're talking about something sneaky. And the officers and soldiers of the guards who were guarding near them also looked a little nervous on their faces.

In the pocket of one of the officers and soldiers, an orange handkerchief even appeared. Even in dim light, it is unusually conspicuous.

――――――――――――――――――――

Time passed, and the train stayed on the railway for a long time. Although the dignitaries on the train already knew that it would definitely not be possible for the train to run in a short time, they still cursed on the train.

Of course, they can't really keep scolding. Even if they want to. I don't have that energy. By late at night, in the wee hours of the morning, except for the guards who were still responsible for the safety of the train, most of the people on the train had fallen asleep, even Kolchak and the others.

But in Pepelyaev's carriage, he was hiding in the carriage with his 'henchmen', quietly waiting for something.

On the hill not far away, I glanced at the train in the distance. One of the officers at the head looked at the watch on his wrist in the moonlight, after the hour and minute hands were all in line with the time. The officer nodded.

"Let's do it, remember to be clean..."

"Understood..."

Under the train, several Russian soldiers were chatting under the lights, and one of them pulled out a cigarette to get a pick-me-up. As for the security mission or something...

It is definitely impossible for them to know about gold at this level, and with the fact that they are in the wilderness, it is impossible to guard against anything in their hearts.

When the other soldiers saw their companion take out a cigarette, they also tried to get two sticks from him, but just as a few people were making a fuss, the soldiers who were snatching cigarettes suddenly found that a hole suddenly appeared in the forehead of the soldier who was holding the cigarette in his hand and preventing others from snatching it, and then heard the sound of gunshots and bullets breaking glass.

Before the soldiers could react, they saw that the soldiers also had an extra gun hole on their bodies. Immediately after the gunshots, the Russian soldiers guarding the train suddenly fell down, and the rest either ran to the train in a panic or fell on the spot, or fell to the ground and wailed.

On the hill not far away, dozens of snipers shot the Russians on both sides of the train one by one by using the light.

At the same time, the hundreds of soldiers who were sneaking under the night also jumped out of the darkness by approaching the train by taking advantage of the night.

Almost all of the officers and soldiers of the guards who remained outside the train were snipered, and only those who ran into the train were still relying on the advantage of the terrain to resist. The assault troops had strong submachine gun firepower, but the penetration of 11.43mm pistol rounds was insufficient. This is certainly a good thing when it hits people, but it is very problematic at other times.

What's more, the guards of the train themselves were also equipped with the same weapons, although they were caught off guard at the beginning, but after hiding in the carriage, they could not stand up to the raiding troops outside with their weapons and geographical advantages.

However, after noticing this, the leader of the raiding force smiled with some disdain.

"Throw a grenade!"

It has already been explained above, except for a few of the carriages, the rest can be destroyed at will, and the people inside don't care about life or death, so they don't care about it at all.

――――――――――――――――――――

The gunshots were so loud that if the passengers on the train could still sleep, their nerves would be too big.

Almost as soon as the shots rang out, the passengers on the train came to their senses, especially the already vigilant soldiers like Kolchak.

When he heard the gunshots, Kolchak suddenly woke up from his sleep. I quickly understood in my heart that what happened along the way was definitely a conspiracy of the Chinese.

"What's going on?"

Also awakened by the sound of gunshots, Kolchak's wife got up from her bed and asked Kolchak, her face pale. Hold the child tightly beside you.

"I don't knowβ€”" Kolchak didn't want his wife to be worried, so he didn't tell her the truth, but got up from the bed and dressed himself. I'll go out first, and you must not go out..."

So saying, after putting on the coat. Kolchak was going to go out.

As for Kolchak's son, although he was also awakened by the gunfire outside, he may have felt the oppressive atmosphere in the carriage. He just curled up in his mother's arms and didn't say anything―――――― in history Kolchak's son Rostyralph? Aleksandrovich? Kolchak joined the French army in World War II against Nazi Germany and died of illness in 1965, as to why he joined the French army. It was because of Kolchak's wife and children after his death. He was exiled in France, and his wife Sophia also died of illness in Paris, France.

But just as Kolchakra was about to go out, he suddenly stopped. Because at this time, there were suddenly more than a dozen people outside the carriage, and several of them were holding pistols and aiming them at themselves. None of this was enough, and what surprised him the most was that the person at the head was actually one of the people he trusted the most.

"Youβ€”" A cold sweat ran down his forehead, and Kolchak looked at Pepelyaev and said angrily. What are you doing, what are you doing! ”

Pepelyaev's face showed a hint of shame, but since he had chosen this path. Then there was no room for him to retreat. So while looking directly into Kolchak's eyes, Pepelyaev said softly. "I'm just looking for a way for all of us to live...". Pepelyaev glanced at his wife and children behind Kolchak. "Now, please wait with us, wait for the ending..."

Looking at these people in front of him, Kolchak's heart was a little anxious.

It's just that at this time, his subordinates have been attracted by the outside raiding troops, and they can't take care of this side at all, even if there are a few, they have been controlled by Pepelyaev and others, so for a while, no one found out that such a big thing happened here.

Just as he was speaking, there were suddenly several explosions not far away.

It turned out that the raiding troops smashed the glass on the side of the carriage with their guns and threw grenades into it. Suddenly receiving such a blow, the resistance of the guards in the carriage suddenly decreased, and the raiding troops took advantage of this opportunity to rush in, but in the blink of an eye, the resistance of the entire train was almost not swept away.

After noticing this, Pepelyaev and the others showed a hint of joy on their faces, after all, as the leader of the army, Kolchak had obtained the allegiance of the vast majority of the army, and only a small part of the officers and soldiers of the guards on the entire train were affected by them, and if the raiding troops outside failed, what would happen to them. Fortunately, there is no problem now, the raiding troops outside have solved the resistance of the guards, and their safety is guaranteed.

But while everyone else was still in high spirits, Pepelyaev turned his head to Kolchak. "It doesn't matter what you think of me......... Don't worry, I'll take good care of Sophia and them..."

As he spoke, Pepelyaev had already taken an orange handkerchief out of his pocket and tied it around his arm. Behind him, the others hurriedly did the same. After all, if the plan has been successful, it would be too unjust to be killed as an enemy...

At the same time, after solving the resistance on the train, the raiding force is gradually controlling the entire train, especially the most critical second half of the train, which is also the most resistant, Kolchak has arranged almost two-thirds of the guards there, and even now the resistance there has not ended, but neither the leading officer nor Pepelyaev himself is worried about this, because the fate of this train has been decided as early as the moment he entered Siberia... (To be continued......)
