979 The gap is huge
Li Gui's small 200 people could not imagine how cruel the war on the other side of the mountain was, the Russians deserved to be called a fighting people called hairy bears, they expanded from the Volga River to the east to the Ussuri River valley, and the superpowers across the two continents of Europe and Asia must have a reason for their existence in this world.
Two battalions of more than 800 Russian soldiers, many of whom were elite Cossacks, these powerful warriors who swept across Europe and Asia, were simply handy against a group of untrained civilians.
The condescending rain of bullets did not stop their charge, on the contrary, the most dense gunfire instead attracted a long-range bombardment from the Aleut's guns, accompanied by waves of infantry assault people, a barrage of explosions.
The faces of countless gold miners were already white, and the Russians on the opposite side were tall and running forward as fast as raging war bears, their mouths shouting the strange screams of Ula Ulla, and the earth smashed by their heavy bodies began to shake.
Fear suddenly began to spread like a virus, the rhythm of people's shooting became more and more chaotic, and there was no accuracy, the enemy was already rushing up the hill, but there were not enough twenty woolly bear soldiers to be defeated.
"Ulla!" The battle quickly turned into hand-to-hand combat.
At this time, people knew the horror of the Rakshasa ghosts, this group of giants with an average height of more than 1.9 meters, full of gold and brown hair, seemed to have infinite strength in their bodies, and the bayonet flicked the gold miner's rifle away, and then a dodge bayonet pierced a pair.
The butt of the hardwood gun was raised high and smashed on the gold miner's head, and immediately red and white sprayed to the ground. The more fanatical soldiers even chose to fight with their hand-to-hand, grabbing the thin worker and lifting it above his head and slamming it into the boulder, breaking his spine in two with a click.
A strong Russian man with a height of more than two meters, a battalion Andreev smashed his chest like an orangutan: "I am Andreev, a man-......bear! Ahh
After speaking, he dodged the sneak attack next to him, grabbed a young man's wrist and dragged it into his arms, and twisted his head by the way, only to hear a click The young man's head was at a strange angle, and black and purple blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
When the 1st Russian Battalion completed the breakthrough, the 2nd Battalion, which was attacking from the flank, also completed the roundabout outflanking, and the Cossack rifles fired quickly and accurately, and after a round of bullets, the right flank of the gold miners' line was wiped out.
"Can't fight! It's not a man, it's a man-eating devil! Run......" The cowardly man turned his head and tried to escape, when suddenly a dense burst of gunfire rang out from behind, and several escapees were immediately beaten into a sieve.
The seriously injured shopkeeper was soaked in blood, and he relied on the support of the person next to him to stand up, and behind him was an elite squad of more than a hundred pure Mauser rifles, and the round of shooting just now was the result of this team.
"Escape! Can we still escape?" the old shopkeeper shouted out with the last strength of his life, "There is the sea all around, where can we escape? Even if you escape from this island, there is a world of rakshasa ghosts outside, where can you run?"
"The court doesn't want us anymore, the Rakshasa ghost wants to kill us, everyone in this world has abandoned us, can we escape? We have no choice but to do it with them......
"Our land, our crops, our ginseng, deer antler velvet, ula grass, our gold, and the property left to us by our ancestors, why did it become theirs?"
"I don't accept ......," the old shopkeeper roared, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he passed out on the hillside on the spot and never woke up.
The men raised by Baishan and Heishui are not cowards, and the old shopkeeper's sentence of disobedience aroused the blood in everyone's hearts. That's right, why do you say you will take away the family property left by our ancestors?
We are mining gold in the land left by our ancestors, do you dare to care about us?
Amid the roar of a mountain and a tsunami, the miners launched a counter-charge, their thin bodies rushing towards the strong woolly bears like waves crashing against the reef.
Aitolin on the Aleute put down his binoculars and sighed, "These Chinese still have courage, they are not as cowardly and incompetent as the legend says...... But it's a pity that there is no decent government to organize and mobilize them, so these people are doomed to death!"
"Send a signal to Andreev and others to slaughter Vadim, let them speed up the pace of the attack, today the day must end the battle, I will use the heads of these Chinese to shock all the unsubservient people in this land!"
Soon the Aleut sounded the horn of the charge, and the two battalions of Russian troops attacked with the same excitement as if they had smoked opium.
War is war, here only believe in strength and strategy and not in any justice, no matter how brave the gold miners are to fight back, but the gap in physical fitness and training is irreparable.
More importantly, the other side is a group of professional soldiers, born to kill for fun, and these Chinese are just workers who protect their own interests.
The stalemate did not last long, and soon the Russian soldiers began to gain the upper hand, and if it were not for the fact that the old treasurer had not gathered a 100-man Mauser musket team for battlefield fire support before his death, I am afraid that the massacre would have begun long ago.
Li Gui and the others listened to the shouts of killing that were getting closer and closer on the other side of the mountain, and everyone showed frightened eyes, they knew that this was a position that had not been held, and the workers were retreating one after another.
"Rest assured, the gunfire and shouting are not over, the brothers are only temporarily defeated, there is still hope, we still have hope......" At the critical moment, Li Gui desperately cheered up the brothers.
At this moment, Ding Si suddenly looked in the direction of the sea with a frightened face, "You guys...... Look at it! What is that? What is that in the sea......
As soon as everyone turned around, their backs were suddenly cold, and their sweat and hairs exploded, "It's broken, the Russians have bypassed the island and outflanked it, and they are going to land from here......"
Facing the bay were two wooden sail warships, and they didn't seem to find Li Gui and the others hiding in the reef, and they put down their boats without shelling, and they saw that more than 200 Russian soldiers were rushing up to the beach.
"Do you want to fight, Brother Li, do you have a word!" At the critical moment, people looked at Li Gui.
Maybe some people are born to fight, but when the big war was approaching, Li Gui calmed down, and his mind suddenly sounded the awakening that Xiang Boss had mentioned to him before.
"Don't fight the enemy's position without artillery support......"
"The Russian soldiers are in very good physical condition, and they must avoid hand-to-hand combat......"
"Remember that you can't hold Qingdao, you are destined to not be able to hold it, at the most critical moment you have to take refuge in the tunnels of the gold mine, and it is a ...... to live one more"
"Avoid unnecessary sacrifices, as long as you stick to it, miracles will happen!"
Li Gui slapped his thigh: "Wait for the enemy to get close before releasing the gun, and when they rush closer, we will retreat and run into the mountains, if you want to live, you must listen to me!"
