Chapter 365: Kazan Gold (End)

The fresh grass and blooming wildflowers attract many bees and other insects, and there are many human figures underneath their busy figures. These figures lying in ambush on the side of the road are the militants united by Roditsky and Fisk. These nearly 1,000 people hid in the grass that was gradually growing, waiting for the arrival of the fat sheep.

As the leaders, Rodischi and Fisk naturally occupy the most advantageous position, but the delay in the convoy makes the two a little worried.

"Why hasn't the convoy come here yet?"

Roditsky waved away a bee that was swaying in front of him, and asked Medley, who had detected the news next to him, "Have you found out?"

In the face of Rodiski's inquiry, Medley hurriedly replied: "That's right, every time I arrive here around eleven o'clock, I have observed it several times, is there any accident this time?"

Without waiting for Rodisky to answer, Fisk said angrily: "Don't be in a hurry, you must know that it is common for our Cossacks to catch wild horses and wait for a few days." ”

Fisk's nonchalance made Roditsky wait patiently.

After a while, I saw a spy running back from the front to observe the situation.

"How?"

The two leaders asked the same question, revealing that they were not as calm as they seemed.

The spy was stunned for a moment when the two leaders asked at the same time, and immediately replied: "The convoy is coming, it is ten miles ahead, and the speed is not fast. It seems that there is a little problem with the car, and they are ready to repair it. ”

The spy's words made the two stunned, which was an unexpected situation. Leaving the ambush or waiting for the convoy to come over became a matter for the two leaders to consider.

After a long time, Fisk, as the leader of the Cossacks, spoke out his opinion. "Let's wait for the convoy to come, our team is too eye-catching, and it will be troublesome if it is discovered in advance."

Roditsky thought about it and agreed: "It's fine." ”

Then he instructed the people behind him: "Let everyone be careful, the convoy is coming, don't be discovered." ”

When the two leaders each ordered their men to be more hidden, they had no idea that their movements were being watched.

Six or seven hundred meters away, in a sparse hill grove, Vasily put down his telescope and slowly retreated. Behind the mountain were the guards in their early teens, but now they were heavily armed and planned to surprise the thugs.

Vasily retreated, lowered his voice and asked, "Haven't the people who are looking around for the situation come back yet?" ”

"Three have come back and found nothing else, and only one has not returned."

"Who is it?"

"It's Wald, three kilometres west of the woods."

As he spoke, someone stepped forward and whispered, "Wald is back." ”

Vasily immediately said: "Let him come." ”

Somewhat panting, Wald was brought directly to Vassi.

"Wald, did you find anything?"

Wald, who looked good, replied, "Yes, sir, as you expected. Behind the woods were two makeshift camps very close to each other, each manned by a dozen men, filled with horses and a handful of supplies. ”

"Very well, you're doing a good job."

After praising Wald, Vasily immediately ordered: "Later, you will take a team of men and take charge of taking these two camps, driving away the horses, burning their camps to create chaos, and distracting these militants." ”

Wald nodded and replied, "No problem, leave it to me." ”

Vasily continued: "Next on our side, Maurice, you take charge of the artillery team, and let the artillery team open fire as soon as they hear the gunshots. ”

Morris, who had already fired hundreds of shells and was proficient in slapping gun operations, nodded and replied, "Leave it to me." ”

Vasily went on to talk about the battle plan. "Willis, you're in charge of the two heavy machine guns we brought. You can't let the enemy show signs of counterattack, you see? ”

"Totally understood."

Vasily then said to his subordinates: "Everyone else is prepared with me, so that the snipers are responsible for knocking out the enemy's firing points and commands, and the others are responsible for scattering them. Do you get it? ”

"Understood."

"Understood."

After all the subordinates answered, Vasily stretched out the left hand of the watch he was wearing. "Right now, it's eleven o'clock. Five minutes later, we attacked. ”

After nearly five minutes of waiting, Rodiski and Fisk waited for the arrival of the convoy carrying their dreams, unaware that several sniper rifles were actually aimed at the two of them.

Rodischi felt an itch in his nostrils.

"Ah...... Cut. ”

"Smack...... Syllable...... Syllable. ”

A sneeze allowed Rodischi to escape the harvest of death. Several gunshots rang out, and Rodiski immediately realized that it was not good. An officer who has been on the battlefield for several years, realizes through the sound of gunfire that the attack is coming from behind. A few standard rolls in quick succession dodged to the other side, and lay dead on the ground.

This caused the sniper who was aiming at him to curse and choose other targets.

Fisk, who had fallen to the ground, was only a few meters away from Rodiski, but his eyes were already dark, as if he was still confused about who had attacked him.

The sound of gunfire made the ambushed armed gang realize that I had been attacked. However, many of the leaders lost their lives in the first round of gunfire, which made them much more unresponsive to the attack, completely unaware of what to do. Some people even estimated that they had not experienced this kind of scene and were stunned there.

"Over there, fight back."

A leader who was not afraid of death loudly ordered his subordinates to launch a counterattack in the direction of the grove, but their firepower was worrying and their marksmanship was poor.

And this ringleader's eye-catching movements make him the focus of the battlefield, where the focus usually does not last long, and he is no exception. After several gunshots, the leader fell to the ground with flying blood, his eyes scattered to tell him the truth.

Of course, a small number of rifle shots did not frighten the assembled bandits, and many of the daring thugs planned to let their attackers know what was going on.

"Boom...... Boom"

"Dash...... Da ...... Da"

But the sound of several mortars made them hesitate, and the sound of machine guns frightened them even more. The chorus of two heavy machine guns and ten Madsen light machine guns let them know what a rain of bullets is.

A large number of militants fell in pieces like wheat. This frightened many bandits, who had never seen such a scene before, they could only lie on the ground and shiver, and their weak legs dominated by fear made them unable to escape from here, but could only lie here like frightened ostriches.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Vasily realized that this was an opportunity, and the enemy, who was stunned and could not give them a chance to react, immediately waved his hand to attack. A few dozen heroic Romanian elites launched an attack on a tenfold enemy.

Hundreds of militants, seeing the enemy attacking, immediately caused a commotion. However, there were still quite a few people who opened fire on Vasily and his party, who launched the attack, trying to recover their accomplices.

Although most of them were not very good marksmanship, from time to time someone was shot, and Vasily was anxious to see that the enemy was slowly recovering. Didn't Wald, who raided the enemy camp, set the enemy camp on fire?

When Morris, who was in charge of the shelling, saw that the battle situation ahead was not good, he immediately let the two mortars fire rapidly, trying to discourage the enemy's will to resist with maximum firepower.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom"

A series of explosions rained down on the enemy's head, causing their morale to plummet. The fierce shelling of the sneak attackers made many militants misjudge the situation, thinking that they were being wiped out by the army, and they began to look around, planning to choose a retreat route in advance.

At this time, as the only surviving leader, Rodischi had retreated to a slightly safer place. Through his rich battlefield experience, he realized that this was just a small elite force, and it was not possible to protect those supplies. When I think of these capable soldiers who have lost a lot of money, then the goods I looted this time must be very important and of great value. Thinking of this, he was even more greedy, as long as he took this batch of goods by himself, whether it was recruiting troops himself or serving others, then there was another way out.

So at this moment, he went out and cheered up the bandits himself. "Don't be afraid, there are few of them, we have to resist them, and it is them who can't stand it. Don't be afraid, fight back. ”

At the instigation of Rodiski, many bandits with different minds gradually calmed down and began to resist seriously. And Vasily and the others were under even more pressure, and even the offensive could not be launched, so they could only shoot at the enemy. Although their marksmanship is much better than that of their opponents, the huge difference in numbers makes them unable to afford to drag it out.

And just then, a thick black smoke rose from the west.

Seeing this black smoke, many bandits were in an uproar, they all knew that this was their previous camp, and they saw that it was being burned, and they still had a lot of things there.

Of course, the biggest reaction to this smoke was Fisk's men, who were Cossack nomads. Horses are like their own partners, and without them they will not only lose a lot of wealth, but also lose their footing. So after the camp was burned, they reacted the most.

Vasily, seeing that the smoke provoked different reactions from the enemy, immediately ordered: "Aim at the small commotion on the right hand side of the key blow." ”

Fisk's gang immediately felt a lot less pressure, and they weren't stupid as the deputy who took over Fisk's place after his death. After feeling differentiated, he immediately thought for a while and said, "Let's withdraw." The opponent is too strong, and if we want to take them down, we have to lose at least half of our manpower, so we can't take any risks at this time. ”

Of course, the adventure he was talking about came not only from the attackers, but also from the Roditsky side. As a leader who has just died, and there are still fewer people than him, there is no shortage of dangers of being annexed, and ensuring one's own survival is the first priority.

The evacuation of the Cossacks made Roditsky jump to his feet in anger. It's not just a matter of losing two-fifths of your troops, it's also shaking the confidence of your own men. Watching others evacuate, who is still in the mood to continue fighting.

Seeing that his plan worked, Vasily struck with a hot iron. "Just hit the people on the right and press all the firepower."

So the blows were all borne by Roditsky's men, and the difference in numbers was not so big, and the offensive of Vasily and others began again.

In the fierce attack of Vasily and others, Rodisky's men could not resist the defeat and retreated.

At this time, Rodischi also knew that the collapse was imminent, and he didn't notify anyone else, so he quietly chose a direction and slipped away. It wasn't until his subordinates couldn't stop him that they came to him to find a way to find that there was no one.

The leaders have slipped away, and then the collapse is at hand. The fleeing bandits fled all over the mountains, and Vasily hurriedly ordered his subordinates: "Immediately take five teams of men on horseback and go in pursuit, the main purpose is to dispel the possibility of them gathering again." ”

The subordinate who still had a trace of blood on his face immediately replied, "Understood." I'll go. ”

I watched more than forty subordinates riding horses and pursuing them in the direction where these bandits had fled. Vasily called one of his subordinates and ordered: "Let Rule come with the convoy, now it is safe." ”

In Vasily there is still half a sentence that has not been spoken, and this is only for the time being. This battle, which was full of guns and artillery, is estimated to have reached the city of Tsaritsyn soon, so General Denikin, who is reorganizing the army, will definitely send someone to investigate, and there is not much time left for them. Next, he needs to hurry up and get the gold to Verix on the ship.

Moreover, the battle cost him more than a dozen brothers, which made Vasily very resentful of Rodisky who had fled. If it weren't for his own mission, he would want to chase down this fast guy.

In fact, upon returning to Yuris that afternoon, Vasily immediately informed Christo of this.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Christo immediately arranged for a replacement without changing the car to transfer the gold overnight. Moreover, the carriages formed a convoy to transport, and there were no armed forces to threaten them for the time being.

After three days of non-stop transshipment, the remaining gold was safely diverted and docked at a secret ship in Verix.

Looking at these gold nuggets engraved in Russian, Christo and the others finally breathed a long sigh of relief, among which Vasily, who was in charge of the escort operation, had already put up panda eyes. It seems that the escort task of this rush time makes this iron-clad man a little unbearable.

As a means of transportation for them, there are less than three cars that can still be driven, and more than thirty horses are exhausted. But all this is worth it in the face of the gold that is safely transferred to the ship.

When Christo and the others got on the boat and began the last leg of the journey, Colonel Dofnov of the White Russian Army, who had come to investigate under the orders of Denikin, also took his cavalry brigade to the place where Vasily and others fought with Roditsky.

"Roditsky, you mean to fight the guards here?"

Colonel Dofnov asked Roditsky, who was wearing a major's uniform, pointing to the battlefield that had only been briefly cleaned and metal bullet casings were occasionally exposed.

It seems that the leader took refuge in Denikin, and also sold the information of Vasily and others.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. I was working with five hundred people and a detachment of Cossacks, intending to ambush them. It was here that he was attacked by the other party, and the result was a complete defeat. ”

"Only about a hundred?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Colonel. At that time, we had already inquired that there was a ship in each of Ullis and Verix, and they were supposed to be transshipment of some cargo. I wanted to intercept a fat sheep, but I didn't expect it to be a beast. ”

While the two were scouting the battlefield, a warhorse came running with a herald.

I saw the herald jump off his horse and run to Colonel Dofnov and said: "Report to the brigade commander, the commander of the Milledov regiment did not find this group of people and goods in Yuris. After investigation, they left the day before yesterday. ”

The herald's words made Colonel Dofnov frown. "Got it, let's go down."

Roditsky didn't find anyone and felt a little uncomfortable. Before he could speak, another herald arrived before them.

"Brigade commander, Vylix also did not find this group of people and cargo, and there were no ships. After inquiring with nearby fishermen, it was found to be a steam engine ship, and it had sailed away yesterday morning. ”

When Colonel Dofnov heard the news, his face was very ugly. "I drove away yesterday morning, yesterday morning...... Damn it, it's all in the Black Sea at the speed of the ship now, where am I going to find it. Damn it. ”

No matter how Colonel Dofnov complained, the ship carrying this batch of gold had already arrived in the Black Sea. As the only warship of the Romanian Navy, the Corburg-class cruiser Count Dazira appeared in front of them. It seems that in order to protect this batch of gold, all kinds of means have been exhausted. Even this navy treasure dared to arrive off the coast of Russia to respond.

This also relieved Vilix and the others, most of the mission had been completed, and they only needed to return to Constanta to enjoy enough honors, of course, this must be kept secret.

On the steamer, Shilka looked at Donovsky, who was staying with his family, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we Romanians are trustworthy." I promise you a lot. ”

Faced with Shilka's words, Donovsky, who accompanied him throughout the whole process, could only smile helplessly. God knows how these madmen actually succeeded, but the thought of having five tons of them for themselves is a wonderful world. ()
