Chapter 319: The Classical Method's Robbery Methods
Before the advent of Herman Ram, the great robber pioneer of America, bank robbery techniques were still in classical times.
Heavily armed cowboys can simply rush into the bank, threaten the bank clerk to open the vault, and then loot the counter and vault of the money before fleeing.
This kind of behavior has no technical content at all.
But thanks to the weakness of the police force in the west at that time, this robbery method was simple, but effective.
And the reason why Jesse James has become the spiritual totem of many western criminals is because he robbed the bank not only because he lacked money to spend.
He declared that every robbery he made had a certain political purpose, either to punish those corrupt officials or to challenge the rich who were unkind to the rich.
But the real purpose, only Jesse James himself knows.
He just grabbed for the sake of grabbing, and this feeling made him familiar.
So, after being rumored dead, the legendary robber did not intend to disappear, but fled to the U.S.-Mexico border, ready to plan a new robbery.
Life never ends, robbery never stops,
"This is the bank opened by the Chinese?" Jesse James glanced up at the sign, which read "Three Rivers Bank"
"What a broken name!" The legendary robber muttered.
"It should be, a young man named Ducky van der Linde told me." A thin man next to him said.
"The liar who sells little books in the tavern?" Jesse disagreed.
The thin man touched his nose: "He said that he is also a 'liberal' and admires you very much, I think you can reveal your identity at that time and pull him into the gang." ”
"I don't like people who talk about it." Jesse shook her head.
After making sure that no one was paying attention to them on the street for the time being, Jesse made another gesture to the brawny man at the back, motioning for him to stay outside.
Then he pulled on the black triangular scarf around his neck to cover his mouth and nose, and with the rest of the men pushed open the door, and quickly rushed into the bank with a gun.
"Bank robbery! Get out of the way! ”
Several men rushed in from outside the gate, their guns raised, and they controlled the people in the bank hall with ease.
The townspeople who were doing business didn't panic too much, just stayed where they were told to be.
They are not surprised by these things.
At this time, whoever moves will definitely be the first to be unlucky.
The robbers skillfully opened the counter cabinet and the boxes underneath.
"Not much money! There wasn't much cash at all! The thin man shouted at Jesse James.
"Who's the cashier?" Jesse yelled.
The bank clerks all raised their hands and looked at each other.
"Who?" Jesse held the short gun in his hand against the head of an officer, "There is a limit to my patience!" ”
At the same time, his fingers had moved to the trigger.
After so many years in the industry, his most important experience is to solve problems quickly.
The clerk swept Jesse's movements out of the corner of his eye, panicked, and hurriedly pointed at the white-haired old man.
As a result, the clerk was kicked into a corner and pressed to the head by another gang member.
And Jesse himself, grabbed the cashier's collar:
"Quick, open the vault for me, I swear I won't say it a second time."
The cashier's soul is almost gone.
"I, I don't have the key to the vault."
Jesse pulled out the hunting knife from his pocket and held it against the old man's neck.
"I really don't, the manager, the manager does, he and the old, the boss is in the vault." The old man said tremblingly.
Jesse gave the old man's head a hard blow.
The old man's eyes were black, and he collapsed to the ground, blood pouring from his forehead.
"You, you, you, you, and you, go to the vault." Jesse ordered the thin man and a few others, and gave the order.
The thin man nodded, lifted his sack, and led the man to the corridor inside.
They found that the door to the vault was open.
At this time, in the vault, Chen Jianqiu had already checked all the gold in the safe, and was boredly fiddling with the Makqin.
This Maxim was placed on the edge of the wall, parallel to the door of the vault.
"Did you ever see this thing when you were a soldier?" Chen Jianqiu asked Okafor.
Okafor shook his head and replied honestly, "I've only seen the hand-cranked kind, the multi-piped, what's it called, alas, I forgot." ”
"This thing is so much better than that." In front of the bank manager, Chen Jianqiu didn't seem to shy away from it at all.
He patted the barrel of the gun as he introduced the machine gun to Okafor.
Suddenly, the words of the two came to an abrupt halt.
They all heard movement in the hall ahead.
"Something happened in the hall." Okafor said to Chen Jianqiu with a solemn expression, and he was about to rush out to check.
Chen Jianqiu grabbed him.
"My gun is in the office." Okafor looked eager, "Trust me, boss, I have experience in dealing with this kind of thing." ”
"What's the hurry? They'll come in. Chen Jianqiu took out the revolver from his waist, handed it to Okafor, and said unhurriedly.
"But boss, you gave me the gun, what do you use?" Okafor wanted to return the pistol to Chen Jianqiu, "Your safety is more important than me!" ”
"I gave you the gun because I thought it was a." Chen Jianqiu patted Makqin in front of him, "Isn't this ready-made?" I use this!"
"Don't be there, come and help me load. You're my secondary shooter. He said to Okafor.
"But didn't you just say this thing is water-cooled? But this is a sample, and in order to preserve it, there is no water in the cooling pipe. Okafor asked as he loaded the bullet into the gun, full of confusion.
"There aren't many people on the other side, how long can you fight? Besides, I rushed all the way over, and I haven't solved the internal emergency. Chen Jianqiu unscrewed the water inlet hole on the barrel.
He stood up and unbuckled his belt.
"Have you? There are also support points, which is better than nothing, and it should be just enough to pass the barrel. Chen Jianqiu aimed at the water inlet hole.
Okafor could only breathe in amazement.
The heavy machine gun was quickly ready, the muzzle of the gun pointed at the door of the vault, and Chen Jianqiu's hand was on the handle of the gun.
"By the way, stay away from that vent later, firstly, it is easy to be scalded by steam, and secondly, the smell is really not good."
Chen Jianqiu gave a friendly reminder to Okafor on the side.
Just then, they heard footsteps in the hallway.
The thin man and the other four men saw the door of the vault open, and they couldn't wait to rush towards it.
As long as the manager and the boss inside are controlled, they can take whatever is in this vault.
But when all five of them rushed into the vault, they saw two people crouching in front of an iron frame with a cylindrical barrel, looking at them with bad intentions.
Love was met around the corner.
Almost instantly, Chen Jianqiu pulled the trigger, and the bullets rained down.
Using smokeless gunpowder-filled bullets, the machine gun had a rate of fire and power that far surpassed any other gun in the world at the time.
In just a dozen seconds, more than a hundred bullets landed in the small area at the entrance to the vault.
The five men who rushed through the door were beaten to rotten flesh.
The wall behind them was also beaten to shreds, and a large hole was punched, but fortunately there was no street behind the wall, and no pedestrians were harmed.
"Oh God!" Okafor was dumbfounded.
"Well, it works well." Chen Jianqiu stood up, "Later, find someone to clean the ground with a shovel, and then repair the wall." ”
"Alright, it's time for us to go out and see our friends outside." He patted the bank manager.
Okafor woke up from a dream.
With a revolver, he stepped over the rotten flesh in the doorway and rushed out of the vault door.
But all he could see was the cashier standing with his bleeding head covered and the door still shaking.
Jesse James, who was waiting outside, had already heard the voices inside the hall.
As a veteran of the Civil War, he knew that this was not something that ordinary guns could make.
The legendary robber didn't say a word, picked up the money from the counter and slammed open the door to escape.
The gang member who was letting off the wind outside the door was still looking around, but he saw his leader climb into his horse in desperation.
And behind him, there was only one person left.
"Run!"
Jesse didn't say anything superfluous to his members and rushed out first.
However, it was hunting season, and the town was full of hunters with guns.
Some of them, from the very beginning, noticed the bandit who was letting off the wind outside, and thought that this person's behavior was extremely suspicious.
So, when the roar of Maxim in the bank rang out and Jesse James and another surviving bandit burst out of the gate, they understood what had happened.
"Damn bastards! How dare you rob us of our money! ”
The inhabitants of Lincolnshire and the hunters were outraged.
They kept the money in the bank, not for you bandits to rob it!
So, on the street where the three bandits passed, the sound of guns of various models rang out.
In the end, except for Jesse James, who escaped from Lincolnshire with his injuries, the other two died on the streets of Lincolnshire.
