Chapter 23 Blood Debts and Blood Repayment
Seeing that the intercepted troops were about to be broken by the other side, and his side suffered heavy casualties, Major General Gulegrevich's eyes were a little gloomy, if there was still heavy artillery, he would not hesitate to order the artillery! This time the heavy artillery they brought with them had a maximum range of seventeen kilometers, and he could kill these bandits who wanted to run.
But not anymore, he knew he couldn't stop these guys. Now he is faced with a very difficult choice, just like when he suddenly finds a prey running away from him while hunting, chasing? Or not chasing?
If you don't chase it, it is humiliating for a hunter to watch this prey run away from under his nose. If you catch up with yourself, then there will be a gap in the whole encirclement, and you may make even bigger mistakes!
Gulegrevich pondered this until he saw the bandits rush up the hill and join the people on the hill.
A Russian officer hurriedly said, "General, do we want to pursue them now?" ”
Gulegrevich finally made up his mind that personal humiliation was nothing compared to the big picture. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's just a pack of goats, don't let them disturb our encirclement, that will let the jackal inside run away." Send a group of soldiers to chase them, and the other troops press Jihua to continue to advance! I'll explain it to the lieutenant general. ”
Major General Gulegrevich had no idea that this time it was the jackal they wanted to hunt that rushed out in front of him!
Yang Xiaolin rushed up the mountain, and a group of bandits also suffered heavy casualties, and they rushed bravely along the way, but the Russians poured in from all directions, blocking and chasing, and more than 300 brothers fell on the road. Together with the deaths of the Russians in the tunzi, the brothers of the regiment suffered more than 600 casualties.
Half again! Yang Xiaolin knew that he was not a qualified commander, let alone a qualified general, and all the losses this time were caused by his paralysis and carelessness, he was too self-righteous! Will Weishenme believe that the Russians will coexist peacefully with themselves? This question filled Yang Xiaolin's heart with guilt.
Looking at the brother who was still alive on the mountain, the muscles of his cheeks twitched: "Brothers, we are out." ”
After rushing out, the bandits were gasping one by one, their eyes were filled with a look of sadness, anger, and perseverance, and they threw themselves at Yang Xiaolin.
Nyerere's swarthy face smiled, "Boss, I know you'll be able to come out." What do we do now? ”
Yang Xiaolin wiped the beads of sweat from the dust under his nose with his sleeve, turned his head to look at the Russian soldiers under the mountain, and his eyes flashed with a wolf-like fierce gaze: "What are you doing?" Lao Tzu will take you to be beasts! ”
The most important thing that the Russians were able to do so well this time was that they did a good job of secrecy. Lieutenant General Kendrashv's men and horses were to go to Lushun to prepare for the defense of the Japanese, and it was only natural that they would stop at Kaiyuan, and everyone thought that these men would walk a little bit like the previous Russian troops, and then get on the train after passing through Changtu.
No one expected that they would suddenly turn around and pounce on Yang Xiaolin! It wasn't until the war broke out and the encirclement of the Russians was formed that the outside world received the news, and those Japanese spies and journalists from various countries were very shocked! They even suspected that this was a fake news and hurriedly sought confirmation from the command of the Russian army, and after receiving a reply from the Russian command, they all realized that they had missed the first-hand information.
Especially those reporters, they all know that whether such a large-scale military operation of the Russian army succeeds or fails this time, whether Yang fights ghosts or continues to live or is killed, this is eye-catching news. …,
Yang Dagui is now a celebrity, foreigners like to see Yang Dagui killed, while Chinese like to hear that he is still alive. No matter what you want to hear, for newspapers, Yang beats ghosts is a good selling point.
The last time the newspapers that reported on the situation of the encirclement and suppression of the mountains by Russia and the Manchu Qing Dynasty were very popular, especially the newspapers in China, those literate Chinese vied to buy them, and some even subscribed for the whole year because they wanted to see the first-hand news of Yang Da Ghost, and those tea houses and restaurants also bought newspapers for those drinkers to comment, and the circulation of various newspapers increased a lot.
Those newspapers also saw their reputation in the middle, and they all had special requirements for the reporters they sent in Northeast China, that is, they had to write two articles of news, one of which was to be published in foreign newspapers, and they used all kinds of insulting and slanderous words against Yang Xiaolin. The other, on a more euphemistic basis, was placed in Chinese newspapers to please Chinese who read them.
Now Yang is fighting with the Russians again, and as soon as the news spreads, the situation is so sinister, a matter of life and death! This will definitely catch the eyeballs and nerves of those people, whether they want Yang to fight the ghost to death, or they don't want him to die.
Mark sat on the car that the Russians had prepared for these reporters, and they were going to Kaiyuan, where they could get first-hand information.
Originally, these reporters asked the Russian army to allow them to go to the mountain to watch the battle, but Commander Kulopatkin refused them. Kulopatkin knew that his predecessor had fallen on the show, and with these reporters by his side, it was very inconvenient to do some things, especially the British and Americans, who would definitely report negative news about the Russians.
He would never make such a mistake, so he only allowed these reporters to wait for the war reports from the front in Kaiyuan, so that he could have some control over these media.
Although they were somewhat dissatisfied with the arrangements of the Russians, these people did not dare to go to the war-torn place alone without the protection of the Russians. Elena leaned against Mark's side, to be honest, a woman as a war correspondent is always a little scared in her heart, Mark can give her some security, she knows that with Mark by her side, he will help her no matter what the situation. These are not what Mark said, but he did.
So Elena always likes to hold Mark's arm so that she can feel safer. Her attitude towards Mark apparently made her peers sitting in a car a little jealous. The German reporter glanced at Mark: "Mark, do you think the Russians can kill Yang and fight ghosts this time?" ”
Before Mark could speak, Elena said, "Definitely not!" ”
The Germans were a little surprised, Mark looked at Yelena, nodded, smiled and did not speak. Yelena leaned on Mark's body and said, "Mr. Myrtle, you should discuss this issue with others, Mark is now very interested in Yang Fighting Ghosts, do you know, he actually wants to give Yang Fighting Ghosts an exclusive interview!" ”
A few reporters in the carriage got up, and the Germans punched Mark: "Boy, beware of Yang beating ghosts and killing you, you must know that he hates all white-skinned people!" ”
Mark spoke at this time: "I don't think so, you know what happened to me and Elena last time we were caught by him?" I swear to you, that bullet grazed my ear, and I could even feel my own ear being sparkled! That was the first time I saw Yang fight ghosts face-to-face, and I felt like I could interview him! It's true! ”
Myrtle shrugged his shoulders and joked with Mark: "Okay, then you go and interview Yang Dagui, it's best to interview for a year and a half, and I'll take care of Miss Elena for you!" Don't worry, I must be a more suitable flower messenger than you. ”…,
Laughter erupted in the carriage again, Yelena didn't mind others making such jokes, Mark also laughed, in the Western concept, it is also a man's honor to be attractive as a woman.
Mark said at this time: "It has been five days since the Russians fired the first shot, and to be honest, I would very much like to know what happened in those five days. But when we arrived in Kaiyuan, we could only see the battle report provided to us by the Russians, which must be how much their army advanced and how many bandits they destroyed. ”
He was a little disappointed, and other reporters felt the same way, and they all wanted the most comprehensive information. Myrtle said: "Okay Mark, I think it's just like that on the real battlefield, you must know that there are only a few thousand people in Yang Fighting Ghosts, and the Russians have mobilized 50,000 troops, and Yang Fighting Ghosts has been deceived by the Russians in terms of action, and this time he can't escape." ”
Mark didn't argue, knocking on the back window of the truck, and the Russian officer, who was sitting in the driver's co-pilot's seat, turned around: "What's the matter, sir?" ”
Mark asked, "How long will it take to get to Kaiyuan?" ”
The officer looked at his watch: "It's eleven forty o'clock in the afternoon, and half an hour further on, there is a supply depot of our Russian army in Changtu, gentlemen have lunch, and they can rest for half an hour." Then we continued on our way, and at five o'clock in the evening we should be able to reach Kaiyuan. ”
Mark nodded and asked no more.
The supply depot that the Russians set up in Changtu was actually a small iron mine. Originally, there were not many people here, but later due to the tense relations with Japan, the terrain around Changtu was not good, and the train could not carry too much, so some important weapons and people would walk through Changtu.
The Russians are improving the situation, and there is a Russian engineering team in charge of reinforcing the railroad tracks. They lived right on this mine, and there were about 500 of them. At the same time, there were also some Russians who served the troops passing through Changtu, so there were more than 2,000 Russians in the entire supply depot.
Mark and a group of reporters sat in the truck bed and chatted wildly, and half an hour passed quickly. Just when everyone thought it was almost there, the truck suddenly stopped with a brake, and several reporters had smiles on their faces, and Mark stood up: "Gentlemen, I think we have arrived!" ”
The reporters all got up and went to the back door of the car to lift the curtain of the truck, waiting for the Russians who were driving to come and lower the baffle. But after waiting for a long time, the Russians seemed to have forgotten, and no one came, which made them a little stunned.
Mark hesitated, jumped over the baffle and jumped off the truck, and was about to pull the latch of the baffle to let the others down, when his head stretched out to the side, and then his hand actually let go, and his whole face became very ugly.
Yelena knew that there must be something out there that surprised Mark, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong Mark?" ”
As if he had forgotten them, Mark muttered, "Oh my God! ”
The reporters also ignored the fact that the baffle was not lowered to get out of the car, and jumped off one by one, and after getting out of the car, their expressions were almost the same as Mark's, and their eyes were dull and looking ahead.
The sign of the Changtu supply depot of the Russians in front of it was still hanging there, but the Russians inside had already come out and been carried out!
They don't know how many Russians there are in front of them, because all of them have turned into corpses, and they are piled up like a hill in the compound of the supply depot, and the huge yard is full of piles!
The corpses had no heads, and the bright red blood was dripping from the severed necks, and it was clear that the man who killed them had not been gone for long!
Their heads were placed in the doorway of the supply station, and at first glance there should be at least one or two thousand! Some of the facial expressions of those heads were hideous, some were frightened, and some of them had grown their mouths, obviously roaring before they died! There are old people, there are children, there are men, there are women! There are differences in age and gender, but one thing they have in common is that they are all Russians. The human head was arranged into three Chinese characters and an exclamation point, and these reporters all recognized these three characters - Yang beats ghosts!
