Chapter 242 The Demise of the Tsarist Russian Expedition Part II
Chapter 242 The Destruction of the Tsarist Russian Expedition (2)
As Lyubasha's piercing scream sounded, the Cossack officers who were resting pushed the door open one after another. Some were holding belts, while others were empty-handed.
An officer waved his belt and cursed at Liubasya: "Damn woman! Can you stop for a while? Do you have to eat the belt to be honest?"
Liubasya pointed at Orlov lying on the ground and said in a voice: "He is dead! He was killed!"
The expressions of several officers changed and they didn't care to scold her anymore. The two guys with belts were the closest, and they were about to raise their feet to check, when suddenly their heads were tilted as if they were hit by an invisible hammer, and then they fell.
fell to the ground.
Liu Basia's scream sounded again, and several others were stunned on the spot.
When the ensuing slight whistling sound passed by, the guy who reacted the fastest suddenly jumped back into the house, closed the door and then rushed to the bed to get the gun, checked the barrel of the gun, and then dialed the gun.
He fired the hammer and hid behind a table. The other three officers also reacted at this time and were about to turn around and enter the room when one of them suddenly fell to the ground and never moved again.
"Come on! Come on! We are under attack!" The officer who first rushed into the room shouted at the top of his lungs toward the window. But he forgot that the doors and windows of this room were closed, and the sound could not be heard at all.
Far.
Liu Basia squatted under the eaves with her head in her arms, shouting into the room: "Assholes! You cowards! God curses you! Leave the woman behind and hide in the house! Help!"
And those Feyaka women who didn't know what had happened were lying on the edge of the pool and looking around, wondering if another member of the same tribe was launching a sneak attack. The Feyaka woman who had been beaten just now looked at Liubasia in the distance.
, a sneer of pleasure appeared on his face.
With a soft swishing sound, five or six Beihai Town soldiers, covered with branches and leaves, emerged from the forest. They held rifles and aimed at the two rooms where the people were hiding, paying no attention to the women by the pool.
.
Several Feyaka women looked at these people in horror, thinking that these were not tribesmen, could it be the ghosts in the mountains causing trouble?
When Liu Basia looked up and saw the six people, she became even more frightened. She screamed and huddled in the corner, crying and begging: "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I have already made atonement to God!"
At this time, more people emerged from the forest, all dressed in the same clothes as the previous six. Several Feyaka women who were confused about the situation lay on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads. The previous six
The Beihai Town soldiers were divided into two groups and approached two occupied wooden houses. They followed the instructions taught by Liu Sheng and others during the training. They stood on both sides of the door. The other soldier faced the door, took a step back, and then took a long step.
He stepped forward and kicked the door violently.
"Bang!" The door, which was not very strong, was kicked open.
"Boom!" was heard, and the wood chips of the porch pillars were flying everywhere. At the same time, the Cossack officer wearing a white cotton jacket waved his saber and was about to rush out, while the Beihai Town soldiers standing on the side of the door immediately
Shoot with a gun.
"boom!"
The saber clanged on the floor, and the officer was shot in the chest and fell to the ground dead.
"Please! Stop shooting! We surrender!" The fool also heard that the sound outside was the sound of muskets, although it was clearer than the ordinary musket sounds. The last two Cossack officers huddled in the corner of the room and rushed
Shouting outside.
"What did they say?" a soldier asked the two companions with his eyes.
The other two soldiers shook their heads, indicating that they did not understand, and then made a gesture of wiping their necks with their left hands. The first soldier nodded, and then kicked the wooden door hard.
Located one kilometer north of the Tsarist Russian camp at the port, two British three-masted sailing ships were quietly docked on the south bank of the lagoon. A group of Tsarist Russian sailors were busy loading coal to the ships, while the captains of the two ships were sitting on the dock. In the office, we were smoking and chatting. There were no cigarettes in Europe at this time, so one of the two captains was smoking a pipe, and the other was smoking a pipe made from an island country (invented by the American Durand in 1875). The world's first "automatic cigarette rolling machine".)
The two ships on the dock are called the Nicholas and the other Natalia, with a displacement of 1,500 tons, and both belong to the Kamchatka Peninsula Mining Company. These two ships start conducting regular surveys from below in May every year. They headed south to the port of Kaaba, transported coal and animal skins from the local area, and sent supplies. They sent Liubasya, a death row prisoner from Siberia.
Because they had no combat missions and had to transport cargo, each of these two ships was equipped with only about a hundred sailors. Moreover, from here to Kamchatka, except for the Cossacks themselves, there were no other pirates at all.
In the dock office, a captain's ear suddenly twitched, and he immediately asked another person: "Lebedov, did you hear that?"
The man called Rybedov raised his eyelids in surprise and asked: "What?"
"I seemed to hear gunshots."
Rybedov stood up and opened the window facing the south, and listened for a while with his ears open. "No." As soon as he finished speaking, a "bang bang" sound like exploding beans came from the south.
"Oops! Something happened at the coal mine!"
Rybedov picked up the gun from the table, checked the gunpowder, and said to another person: "Could it be a wild animal?"
"No! This gunshot is not ours! There is an enemy!"
Suddenly, Rybedov was astonished to see hundreds of people running out of the window from the woods to the south. These people were short in stature and had Asian faces. They were dressed in dark cotton-padded clothes and had headscarves on their heads. Wearing a cotton hat and holding a sharp ax or pickaxe in his hand, he rushed towards the sailor who was loading coal.
"Oh God!" Rybedov opened the hammer and said to the other captain: "Quick! Get back to the ship! We can't let them take over the ship!"
The other captain also took out the musket stuck in his waist, cocked the hammer and fired a shot outside.
Rybedov's eyes were splitting, and he shouted: "You bastard! You are crazy!" After saying that, he opened the door and ran towards his boat.
At this time, hundreds of sailors who were transporting coal on the pier were caught off guard and were suddenly attacked and killed by migrant workers from Beihai Town. Zhao Xin raised his gun and repeatedly killed the sailors who looked strong, while shouting to his men: "Quick!" Block them! Can’t let them get on the boat!”
At this time, Rybedov had already run to the gangplank and was about to lift his legs up the gangplank when a migrant worker raised an ax and struck him. In panic, Rybedov raised his hand and fired. The migrant worker dropped the ax and covered his chest. It tilted down. When several migrant workers behind him saw that the other party had a musket, they turned around and ran away in fright.
After boarding the ship, Rybedov shouted to several sailors on the deck: "Remove the gangplank! Raise the anchor and sail! Untie the mooring rope!"
Zhao Xin still had too high expectations for these refugees in Henan. When the Tsarist Russian sailors gradually came to their senses and began to gather together and fight with tools or daggers at their waists, these refugee workers immediately stopped moving forward. By the time the two boats arrived,
When the awakened sailor raised his musket and fired, the dozens of workers who had blocked the opponent's retreat suddenly fled in all directions.
We are here to work and farm the land, not to risk our lives! Even if we are given two silver dollars, we cannot earn our lives without spending money!
Zhao Xin was so angry! He suppressed the anger in his chest and kept raising his gun to shoot at the gun-wielding sailors on the deck. At this time, all the migrant workers had almost run away, and only a dozen smart guys were left.
retreated behind him.
Seeing Zhao Xin in front of him pull the trigger frequently, one or two shots would knock him down. Only then did the dozen or so migrant workers behind him feel safe, thinking that the blunderbuss in the hands of the master is more powerful!
At this moment, a gunshot rang out from the edge of the woods to the south. Seven or eight sailors on the dock were shot and fell to the ground. Two squads sent by Liu Sheng to support arrived!
At this time, the Nicholas had cut the cable and the anchor had been raised. More than a dozen sailors climbed onto the mast and lowered the main sail. Under the influence of the south wind, the huge white main sail was quickly blown by the wind.
The drum swelled, and Rebedov steered the ship, and the sailboat began to slowly leave the port.
Zhao Xin kept shooting at the main mast with an assault rifle with a scope, sending sparks flying everywhere. However, the mast was too thick and had no effect at all.
The captain of the Natalia had not yet boarded the ship. He hid behind several barrels on the dock and loaded the musket in a panic. The other thirty or so surviving sailors saw Zhao Xin's "musket"
"It was so powerful that he ran to hide behind the barrel and the wooden box next to him in a panic.
"You idiots! Go out and kill them! There are only a dozen of them left now!" the captain of the Natalia whispered to several people.
"Captain, they are here to help again, seven or more of them! They are all armed with muskets. If we rush out, we will die!"
At this time, all the sailors looked at the captain and said, "If you have the ability, go ahead. You guys with muskets will not be accepted. Let us charge out with shovels and daggers. Even if you kill me, you won't even get out!"
The captain of the Natalia was so angry that he had nothing to do. He turned his head and looked into the lagoon, only to see that the Nicholas had floated out dozens of meters away. He turned to the sailors beside him and said: "I'll do it first.
Shoot, and let's rush to the ship together. God and the Queen will bless us!"
Upon hearing this, all the sailors knew that there was no good solution, so they had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Boom!" was heard. Zhao Xin, who was hiding on the side of the dock office, quickly shrank his head. Splashing sawdust fell all over his head, causing all the migrant workers to exclaim.
More than 20 meters away, dozens of figures jumped out from behind the barrels and ran towards the gangplank of another sailboat. Two squads of Beihai Town soldiers had already approached the dock. They either squatted or stood, looking at the running figures.
Stop shooting. Zhao Xin raised his gun and aimed at a guy holding a blunderbuss, thinking that he must kill you first!
"Chirp! Chirp!" With a burst of fire, the captain of the Natalia was staggered, turned over and fell into the water. The other sailors didn't care, and stepped onto the gangplank holding their heads. As
Bullets kept flying, and sailors were constantly shot and fell into the water.
Zhao Xin continued shooting intently, and said to the dozen or so people behind him: "Hurry up and get on the boat, I will cover you."
Seeing the red-haired man being beaten by his own people, the people fell on their backs. Dozens of migrant workers, who mustered up the courage to raise their axes, shouted and rushed forward. Zhao Xin rushed at the front and knocked down several Tsarist Russians with a few shots; he came to the
On the trestle, he aimed his gun at the side of the ship and the deck, and shouted to a few guys who were hesitant to get on the gangplank: "I can't drown you! Rush over!"
Two squads of soldiers also rushed up with guns in hand. They didn't wait for the migrant workers to get on the boat. They pushed past these people and rushed onto the gangplank. They stepped on the deck in a few steps, and then there was another burst of fierce gunfire.
When Zhao Xin stepped onto the deck of the Natalia, a soldier from Beihai Town pointed at the Nicholas in the distance and shouted: "Chief, that ship is far away!"
"They can't run away!" Zhao Xin sneered, and then said to the leading soldier: "Quick, you guys search in the cabin, be careful!" After saying that, he walked to the side of the ship and changed to another one.
Magazine, ready to wait for the arrival of Russian deserters.
There were only a few surviving crew members on the Natalia. When the people from Beihai Town rushed into the cabin, these trembling guys raised their hands to surrender, shouting "Spare your life" that no one could understand.
”.
The sudden attack launched by Beihai Town made it impossible for a group of Cossack officers to organize effective resistance and was wiped out. The Beihai Town soldiers who did not understand foreign languages ignored the other party's shouts of surrender and rushed into the house with random shots. In addition to arresting them,
Except for Lyubasha and several Feyaka women who were rescued, not a single one survived.
Mergu'a and others followed Liu Sheng, dumbfounded as they watched Beihai Town being destroyed as it quickly defeated the red-haired man. They were extremely shocked. Before the seven of them had time to cheer, they saw that they were guarded by two Beihai Town soldiers.
The group of Feyaka women standing there.
Several women were frightened. At this time, they finally saw Mergua and others wearing their own national costumes. Although they were not from the same tribe, they could not help but rush over and hug Mergua and others and burst into tears.
Ergua and others could not care less about following Liu Sheng. Facing the humiliated tribesmen, they had no choice but to offer gentle words and constant comfort.
When Liu Sheng led a platoon of soldiers through the Tsarist Russian camp, a soldier ran over and reported that the three platoons in front had surrounded the remaining red-haired men in the coal mine, and more than two hundred death row prisoners were exiled.
The prisoners and some twenty Cossack soldiers were still resisting.
Liu Sheng then ordered a squad to be left behind to search the camp. He followed the soldier to a mine not far away and hid behind a big tree to observe with a telescope. He did not speak Russian, so he tried to shout a few words in English.
He shouted "Put down your weapons and surrender", but the other party showed no response. Only then did Liu Sheng realize that the little English he knew might not be understood by these people. In this case, let's keep fighting!
"So you are really hiding here!" At this time, Ukanbe was lying behind a pile of coal. The sight hole of the rifle in his hand had been locked tightly on the thigh of a Cossack soldier. Ukanbe would never forget that man's appearance in his life.
No, he was the robber who hit him in the first place!
Wu Kanbei thought that if he had not followed Beihai Town to Bitter Leaf Island, he might not have been able to find his enemies in this life. He felt that he could not let the other party die so happily, and there were still a few others that he had not found yet!
When the whistle started to sound, Ukanbe immediately pulled the trigger. The Cossack soldier felt as if he was struck by lightning. A flower of blood burst out from his thigh, and he fell to the coal pile with a scream. Then, Ukanbe moved the muzzle of his gun, pointed it at the chest of another Cossack soldier, and shot him repeatedly.
The sound of gunfire continued, and the prisoners and Cossack soldiers hiding in the mine were unable to escape. Several exiles lay on the ground holding their heads, shouting for mercy. By the time more than a hundred people were shot, one of them was empty. Magazines, there are less than fifty Tsarist Russians left alive in the mine. Those who survived are cursing this damn open-pit mine! Why is there not even a hole?
At the exit of the lagoon more than thirty miles away, the Thunderbolt has anchored here. The left side of the ship is facing the south of the exit. On the first deck, all eight heavy machine gun positions are ready, and the muzzles are all pointed. He caught the sailing ship in the distance and waited for Deng Fei's order to open fire. Deng Fei, holding his own assault rifle, stood on the compass deck and observed the approaching sailing ship in the distance from a high position.
"After a while, everyone listens to my command. Machine gun positions No. 1 to 4 will shoot at the main mast on the deck and knock off the opponent's sail. Positions 5 to 8 will aim at the artillery window on the right side of the enemy and shoot."
On the Nicholas, Rybedov, who had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, looked back at the hell-like port, and secretly said to himself: "God bless us, we finally escaped!"
No matter where those people came from, Rybedov decided to return to Kamchatka immediately to report.
"Damn the devil! God will punish you! Prepare to face the wrath of the Cossacks!" Rybedov stood at the helm of the ship, looking back and shouting toward the shore.
