Chapter 523: First Strikes First
Kolchak and his cronies fled quickly to the east along the Trans-Siberian Railway, and he had actually made several preparations, if he could successfully open the road, then he would bring the follow-up troops with him, otherwise, he would take the gold and flee to the Far East first, gain a foothold, and exchange for the support of the foreign powers. Then turn around and deal with the majority party, even those white Russians, as for the safety of the princess, he can't take care of it for the time being, at least those white Russians don't dare to attack the princess no matter how mad they are.
Kolchak was like a lost dog, he fled without his life, he set out from Uginsk, and the target in front of him was Irkutsk, which is an important town in the Far East next to Lake Baikal.
The train roared and gradually drove into the Irkutsk railway station, and just as the train had just stopped, suddenly a dense burst of gunfire suddenly rang out around the station, and Kolchak's men fell to the ground.
Countless soldiers poured around the station, and when Kolchak saw this, he immediately shouted like a bolt from the blue: "Hurry up, start the train, get out of here!" ”
"General, we have no coal, the train starts ......"
A staff officer ran over to explain to Kolchak that before he could finish speaking, he was shot in the head, and the warm brain splashed on Kolchak's face, and for the first time, the Supreme Archon of White Russia felt the threat of death so closely, and his body stiffened.
At this time, the ambushed army all swarmed up and grabbed Kolchak to death, and at this time a tall figure walked up to Kolchak's side and stared at the former leader with contempt.
Kolchak recognized him at a glance, it was the head of the Czech Legion? Qaida. The so-called Czech Legion turned out to be Austro-Hungarian soldiers captured by Tsarist Russia in World War I, after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Czech Republic was one of the new countries, and these prisoners of war stood alongside the White Russians and acted as the liliang of the intervention in Russia.
Day? Gaida used to be Kolchak's subordinate, assisting in the battle, and Kolchak never imagined that they would turn against each other and turn against him. He struggled desperately, and fire could spew out of his eyes.
"You traitor, let me go!"
"Kolchak, do you still think of yourself as an archon, dream. You've failed, but you're still obedient, maybe I can give you a way to live! ”
Day? Gaida sneered and said, "Tell me the truth, we have made contact with the majority party, just hand you over to them." They will be able to make sure we get home safely. One Kolchak's head can be exchanged for the safety of thousands of people. You're still worth a lot of money! ”
After the head of the Czech Legion finished speaking. hahadaxiao: "Take him away for me, torture him, and keep the rest of the train station, don't let anyone run away!" ”
Day? Gaida led Kolchak to an abandoned church, filled with torture instruments and a few stout Czech soldiers standing aside. They whipped Kolchak frantically with leather whips in hand, and the others couldn't help but hahadaxiao, as if they were abusing the former consul. It can help them relieve the resentment in their hearts.
The military uniform was smashed, and the skin on the body was also open, and after seventy or eighty whips, the day? Gaida sneered and said, "Your Excellency General, tell me everything you know, where is the gold and where is the treasure?" ”
"I don't know." Kolchak's face was full of remorse, and he sneered and said: "You will never get gold, you can only die in the cold Far Eastern wasteland, there is no way to live." ”
"You're talking nonsense!" Day? Gaida's face contorted, and he pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Kolchak's neck, a trace of bright red blood oozing out of his skin.
"Tell me! Or I'll kill you! ”
On the day? As Qaida roared, one of his men suddenly came to report: "General, another group of Russians has suddenly arrived at the train station, they have broken through our encirclement, and are about to escape." ”
What the? Day? Gaida was furious at that time, and he didn't care about Kolchak, so he hurriedly rushed over with his men and horses.
Although Kolchak was not worried about the gold and took it all with him, he did not take the gold with him stupidly, otherwise the Czechs would have taken the gold with them after they took control of their convoy. Kolchak put his henchman Korber in charge of protecting the gold, and the two convoys were about twenty kilometers apart, with Kolchak in charge of opening the way, and Kerber following closely.
In this way, the Czechs captured Kolchak and did not get gold, and Kerber went to the Irkutsk station with gold and follow-up troops. Kerber also knew that the situation was not good, so they broke through the Czechs and fled frantically to the east.
Day? After Gaida felt the station, he happened to see Kerber fleeing with the convoy in a hurry. He gritted his teeth and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to pursue quickly. The Czechs are in a foreign country, and they have no way to live, but to get gold and exchange it for a way to survive from the majority, or they will die in the wilderness of the Far East.
Under the pressure of survival, the Czechs frantically pursued Kerber. And at this time, there was another contingent that was rapidly coming from Chita in the direction of Irkutsk, and this contingent was the Japanese army.
Kolchak's gold has long been coveted by all sides, and the Japanese are no exception, they also know that Kolchak fled east with a large amount of treasure, and the greedy Japanese have long wanted to take these things for themselves.
The commander of the dispatch army, Motonari Oi, personally deployed, and the 13th Japanese Division was responsible for the implementation, and the division commander Torajiro Nishikawa personally led the team, and for the sake of an uncertain treasure, he sent a big man at the level of division commander, and the Japanese also made a bit of a fuss.
However, they also had no choice, and the cost of stationing troops in Siberia was very staggering, especially Ivanov had made a big fuss in the Far East not long ago, and so far, although the Japanese had taken back Boli and restored the safety of the railway line, the guerrillas scattered in the Far East attacked the Japanese garrison from time to time, causing them great trouble, and the loss of human and financial resources was very serious.
There are many complaints within the Japanese government, and many people are retreating from the Far East and will no longer continue to fill this bottomless black hole. The military department was also very anxious, so they focused on Kolchak's treasure, as long as they could get this gold, Japan's war funds would be replenished, and they would have the capital to continue to hold on.
It is precisely because of this consideration that the Japanese are also frantically engaged in the cause of the treasure hunt, and one of the most interesting chase games is being staged in the wilderness of the Far East, with Kerber fleeing frantically with gold, with the Czech Legion chasing behind him and the menacing Japanese in front.
Both of these groups wanted to get their hands on the gold, and they both tried their best to eat milk.
And at this moment, another hidden army also began to act, this is the Feng army! For Kolchak's gold, Feng Jun has long been determined to get it, and Zhang Tinglan has also mixed in a large number of spies after Kolchak's subordinates, and Sophia is definitely not the only one.
If you can easily get the gold, it is the best, if you can't, you can only use force, Zhang Tinglan has ordered Sun Anhu to set out from Kyakhta with the army, enter the land of Tsarist Russia, and be ready to seize the gold by force at any time.
Sun Anhu led his subordinates to trek quickly in the thick snow. At this time, the correspondent hurriedly came to report: "Sir, there is a call from the direction of Irkutsk, the Czech Legion has captured Kolchak, but they have not received the gold, Kolchak's subordinate Kobel is taking the train and quickly fleeing in the direction of Chita, and the Czech Legion is following closely. ”
After Sun Anhu heard this, he nodded slightly, and then said: "According to the plan, fifty kilometers west of Ulan-Ude, the Trans-Siberian Railway will be blown up to prevent the golden train from continuing eastward, and we will kill Kerber there!" ”
The operation of the Feng army against the Russians had begun, and Kerber was completely unaware of it, and he was carrying gold, like an outlaw, and fled frantically, and the Czech regiments behind did not relax at all, chasing them to the death.
The train was moving quickly, and it was not far away to reach Ulan-Ude, and he might be able to catch his breath, but just as he was thinking about it, a soldier suddenly reported to him with a change of face.
"Your Excellency General, hurry up and stop, the railroad tracks in front of you have been blown up and cannot be passed!"
When Kerber got the news, he was immediately shocked and hurriedly ordered the train to stop, and that's it, the first train still couldn't brake, rushed off the tracks, the carriage rolled on its side, and the gold boxes loaded on it also fell outside, and a yellow, clear, touching color finally appeared in front of everyone.
Several White Russian soldiers saw it, and they rushed over, desperately trying to grab the gold in their hands, and at this time Kerber also rushed with men.
"Bastard, stop it, it's not something you can take!"
Kerber was about to shoot, at this time the soldiers around him were also red-eyed, and these Russians also understood that they had no chance of escaping, and now the only choice was to take the gold, and then run away quickly, as long as they were lucky enough, they could save their heads.
Kerber could no longer control these chaotic soldiers, and the entire White Russian army began to collapse, and all the soldiers began to fight and even shoot in order to grab the gold.
At this time, suddenly there was a roar of fighters above their heads, six fighters flew over their heads, and a dense number of bullets swept towards them, and the panicked White Russia could not dodge at all, and a large number of people were killed in an instant, blood splattered on gold, red and yellow intertwined, extremely dazzling.
At this time, Kerber also noticed that the five-color flag logo could be clearly seen at the tail of the plane, the Chinese plane! (To be continued......)
