The document from the Tsar was indeed of great help, because the situation between Japan and Russia was already very tense. Most of the people on this train were Russian soldiers, preparing to strengthen the military power in the Far East.
After the train started, Li Yu met Rear Admiral Makarov, whom he had met the last time he took the Trans-Siberian Railway back, and saw that he would be officially transferred to the Far East this time.
Among the Russian generals in the Far East, Marklov is considered to be a relatively good one. The other generals are indeed a bit unqualified. Of course, this is compared to Togo Heihachiro, Nogi Nogi and others of the Japanese army in the Russo-Japanese War.
As mentioned before, Makarov is not only a soldier, but also a marine scientist, explorer, and an academician of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, so he has long heard about Li Yu being awarded the academicianship.
"What a coincidence, and this time I will go with you all the way to Dalian." Makarov said.
Li Yu had long seen that this carload of soldiers would be dispatched to various parts of Northeast China, especially key cities such as Harbin and Vladivostok. In fact, he didn't have a good impression of them in his heart.
So I casually exchanged a few words, and spent most of the time in the car writing the outline of the Star Wars prequel. After all, they all promised Planck to complete it as soon as possible, and the boss must pay attention to the manuscript.
After a long journey, the train arrived in Harbin, and Marklov suddenly found Li Yu: "The train will stay here for several hours for loading and unloading. General Horvath, director of the China Eastern Railway Administration and commander-in-chief of the road protection army, arranged it for us.
A small welcome ceremony.”
"Welcome ceremony?" Li Yu asked in confusion.
"That's right," Makarov said, "after all, we are both academicians of the Academy of Sciences, and you have received a document written by His Majesty the Emperor. As General Horvath in Harbin, he specifically asked us to welcome you together. Who
My name is You, a Chinese."
Li Yu murmured in his heart: Welcome to Mao Yao. He is not Chinese, so he welcomes me in Harbin? It’s so funny, isn’t it?
However, the whole car was filled with Russian soldiers, and Tsarist Russia had actually controlled the Northeast, the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty. So it turned out to be "on someone else's territory." Li Yu couldn't refuse, so he could only
Just go through the motions.
Horvath, the director of the Eastern Railway Administration, will be promoted to lieutenant general in the future. From his position, it can be seen that Tsarist Russia attaches great importance to railways.
Li Yu and Makarov stepped off the train and came to the train hall. Horvat even brought a small military band and honor guard, which was very impressive and grand.
The military music started playing, and Horvat stepped forward and said: "General Makarov, Academician Li Yu, you have worked hard all the way!"
Li Yu had just said "Thank you, Maomao" in his heart, and Makarov had just shaken hands with Horvath. Suddenly, there was a rapid gunfire nearby, and Horvath's military band and honor guard fell down in large numbers.
Then there was a burst of shouting in Japanese: "Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
"Yes, they are Japanese!"
Several people quickly hid behind a cargo box, and gunfire continued around them. The honor guard brought by Horvat did not carry weapons and was quickly slaughtered.
"Why are there Japanese soldiers here?" Makarov asked.
Horvat spat: "Eighty percent of them sneaked in. The station workers I recruited should all be local Chinese talents."
"Where are the guards?" Makarov asked anxiously, "We are about to be surrounded!"
"The guards are outside the station and it will take at least a few minutes to get to the lobby," Horvath said.
"Then we have become dead souls a long time ago!" Makarov said, "Are these Japanese crazy? How can they get out alive if they get in here!"
Li Yu said: "That's how fanatical Japanese people are. We still have to think about how to save our lives."
"It's not that easy to carry out a beheading operation!" Horvat pulled out a sidearm, "Major General, do you have any sidearms?"
Makarov never expected this to happen, "No."
"Then it's up to me. They're almost out of bullets. I'll kill a few damn Japanese first."
The gunfire from the opposite side gradually became sparse. The Japanese blended into the workers and could not bring much ammunition. They immediately drew their short knives and ran towards the three of them.
"Kill those two Russian generals! Northeast China belongs to the Emperor!"
"Whoever can kill them is a fearless warrior!"
This group of Japanese rushed over like crazy.
After all, Horvath was a general, not a jobber. He raised his hand and shot the first few people to death with seven or eight shots.
The Japanese had no thermal weapons, so Li Yu poked his head out and saw about a dozen people rushing over.
Soon, Horvath's gun was out of bullets, and he could only fight hand-to-hand, but they didn't even have blades.
"Sukabule!" Horvath swore a curse word in Russian and threw the pistol on the ground. "It's not that easy to kill me!"
Makarov also knew that he had to survive these few minutes first. When the guards arrived, these Japanese little devils were dead souls shot by guns. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight with them temporarily.
They immediately started fighting with the Japanese, but there were only two of them, so they could only barely parry while retreating.
During the attack, the two Japanese also saw Li Yu behind the pillar. They were holding Japanese daggers that looked like ribs in their hands. They looked at each other, hesitated for only a second, and then raised the daggers to kill Li Yu.
.
"Holy shit, even I'm going to be killed!"
At the critical moment of life and death, Li Yu had no time to hesitate. He took out the Browning M1900 pistol Duan Qirui gave him from his arms, hit the two of them in the face with two "bang bangs".
In fact, when the two Japanese saw Li Yu pull out his pistol at close range, they already knew it was too late. They didn't expect that Li Yu's shooting skills were so good and his hands didn't even shake.
——In fact, they are all instinctive reactions under the desire to survive.
After all, the two hundred rounds of live ammunition training in Beiyang were not in vain.
Makarov had already been stabbed once. He grabbed the hand of the Japanese opposite who was holding the knife, and smashed him in the face with the other hand. He was very strong, but the opponent was beaten beyond recognition.
let go.
The other two Japanese ronin rushed over quickly, raising their knives to chop Makarov's neck.
The situation at Horvat was also very bad, and there was no way to save Makarov.
At the critical moment, "bang bang"! Two more gunshots were fired.
The two Japanese ronin were shot and fell to the ground immediately. Li Yu then fired all the remaining three bullets, and all the bullets were missed. Only one Japanese was hit in the shoulder and did not die immediately.
There were once again seven Japanese ronin missing, and the situation improved instantly. Makarov reluctantly pulled out the dagger that had been pierced into his waist. The stimulation of blood made his eyes red, and then he rushed over and raised his hand to hold the dagger of a Japanese samurai, and then used another one.
The dagger in one hand was slashing wildly, and it took more than a dozen cuts before he stopped.
The guards finally arrived at this time, and the last few ronin were killed instantly.
Only the Japanese who was hit in the shoulder was left crawling on the ground.
Horvat said quickly: "Keep alive!"
But the Japanese ronin actually shouted: "Long live the Emperor!" and then stabbed his own neck with the knife without hesitation.
Horvat and Makarov were a little stunned, so desperate?
"What kind of death squads! These Japanese people have been brainwashed and there is no way they can survive," Li Yu said.
In terms of understanding the Japanese, Li Yu is still better than the Russians.
At this time, a large number of guards and soldiers arrived, and Li Yu and others quickly moved to a safer place.
Horvath then ordered: "Investigate all workers immediately, and kill without mercy any Japanese!"
Makarov was a little worried about the situation: "The Japanese have been able to penetrate here and can still organize beheading operations. Is Northeast China still under our control?"
Horvath really couldn't believe it: "They must have been planning for a long time, even growing their hair in big braids, just to imitate Chinese workers."
"Sukabu! They have had this idea for a long time!" Makarov cursed.
"I guess the Japanese side must have known about the general's appointment and acted hurriedly," Horvath said.
"Damn Japanese!" Makarov continued viciously.
The military doctor bandaged his wound, and Makarov said to Li Yu: "Thanks to Academician Li Yu today, otherwise the three of us would have met in hell."
Li Yu was really a little scared at this time. At that time, his mind was completely blank and he had no time to think about anything. He only thought about saving his life. Only then did he react and kill someone.
It’s really shocking! I’ve mostly killed fish when cooking at home, but today I killed several little devils in one go. How can I not be afraid?
If it were in future generations, such as the United States, he would definitely need to take administrative leave for half a year for psychological counseling.
So at this time, he looked a little stunned, and Makarov didn't hear what he said.
"Mr. Academician!" Makarov called him again.
Only then did Li Yu come back to his senses: "What, what's wrong?"
Makarov said: "Mr. Academician saved me and General Horvat today. We can't thank you enough!"
Li Yu said: "I also want to protect myself."
Horvath was shocked by Li Yu's marksmanship: "Mr. Academician is not like someone who just does research casually. This kind of marksmanship is top-notch in the military."
Li Yu could only briefly talk about how he once taught in a military academy in Beiyang and practiced marksmanship.
Makarov said: "It turns out that your mastery of pistols is probably top-notch. In short, you have been a life-saving grace to us. From now on, if you have any requests, I, Makarov, will absolutely agree without any ambiguity."
Li Yu sighed: "It's better to be more careful about the Japanese."
Makarov asked Horvath: "Do you have any clues about this group of Japanese?"
Horvat said: "I just asked the staff officer and they are probably all Japanese ronin and do not belong to the Japanese military."
"Ronin?" Makarov said.
"They are some warriors among the people." Horvat explained.
"How can civilian warriors be so organized? Can they still know our whereabouts?" Makarov didn't believe it at all.
Li Yu said: "General, please do not underestimate these rogues. Precisely because they have no military or government background, it is easier for them to obtain some information and not easy to be detected."
