Volume 300 Chapter 270 of the First Reconquest of the Middle Road (2)

While the two were talking, they heard gunshots outside, and Daleyan shouted, "It's not good, those rebels did it first!" The men of the command immediately became agitated, and Daleyan shouted: "With guns, let's go to the support, everyone, including cooks, military bands, and grooms, act immediately." ”

"Yes."

Everyone still didn't dare to question Daleyan's absolute authority, and they took out the water bead rifle, ****, and even the old-fashioned Berdan rifle, and rushed out with Daleyan, but saw Oginets running back with a group of remnants of the defeated general, shouting: "General, the soldiers have rebelled, Major Orchak and Lieutenant Colonel Mibashav were killed by them." ”

Daleyan hurriedly raised his hand and shot behind Oginets, missing the bullet of the revolver in his hand, and withdrew to the headquarters with his men.

"What's going on?"

"As soon as I arrived at the barracks, I saw the people inside gathering with weapons, and they also saw me and immediately shouted to catch me, and I saw the bodies of Olchak and Mibashav hanging naked from the flagpole, it was too miserable. We shot at each other and killed at least fifty of them, but their fire was too heavy and there were too many people, so we had to retreat. General, these people are crazy, they even hanged Mibashav, the son of the chief of the royal guard. Oginets cried.

"General, here they are again, and a cannon." The guards shouted.

"Bastard!" Daleyan said angrily, "Someone is ready to shoot. Kill these traitors, traitors to these empires. ”

There were only three hundred people in the command, and in addition to Daleyan's guards, the rest were cooks, handymen, officers' families, bands. There are still dozens of servants of the Chinese state. At this time, they were all armed and held the headquarters, and the telegraph operator immediately called Horvat for help.

The railway guard headquarters was built very strongly. In the Russian architectural style, the walls are a meter thick and the windows are double glazed. The rebel soldiers fired a shell at the command with artillery. hit the wall and blew off only one corner.

A rebel soldier shouted: "Andrey? Ivan? Daleyan, surrender and stop making senseless resistance. As he was talking, he was shot by a bullet from somewhere, and his head was shattered, and the red and white were scattered all over the ground, and the people around him were scared enough.

On the other side of the street, Chai Shirong quietly put down his gun and said to Long Sanfei on the side: "Lieutenant Colonel Long, it's okay." ”

"Good." Long Sanfei laughed. said: "It's lively to fight like this, let them eat dogs, what surrender, what peace talks, it's good that Lao Maozi is dead." ”

Chai Shirong also laughed. said: "It's okay, I'll kill a few more when it gets messed up in a while." ”

The death of the negotiating soldier made the rebels angry, and everyone aimed their cannons and attacked the headquarters frantically, and the soldiers also shouted "Ula" and rushed to the gate of the headquarters.

Unexpectedly, the door of the headquarters suddenly opened. Two Maxim heavy machine guns were pushed out, and before the charging rebel soldiers could react, the machine gun bullets continued to fire, killing more than two dozen rebels in front. Above the headquarters, Daleyan pushed out a mortar and said to the people around him: "Can you blow up that field artillery?" ”

"Yes! They were careless, thinking that there were no heavy weapons in the headquarters. The red-faced artilleryman said, adjusting the angle and direction, "A cannon, a bottle of vodka." ”

"That's fine, dead drunkard Menshak." Daleyan said.

"Boom!"

Shamenke's mortar hit the field gun with a single shot, and even detonated the shell box on the side, causing a chain explosion that killed all two dozen soldiers here.

The head of the rebel soldiers immediately shouted: "Kill them, kill them, these bastards." ”

Some of the rebel soldiers immediately returned to the barracks to fetch other artillery, but could not do anything about the mortar on the headquarters tower, which continued to fire shells, breaking up wave after wave of attacks by the rebel soldiers. Although the rebel soldiers were outnumbered, they lacked heavy weapons and support weapons, and after killing and wounding more than 200 people, they hurriedly retreated to a distance of 2,000 meters.

Long Sanfei, who was watching from the building next to him, said in surprise: "That gunner is really fucking powerful, it's just a matter of where to fight." Gun God, can you kill him? ”

"It's too far away, it's not good." Chai Shirong shook his head and said.

"Damn it, just kill him." Long Sanfei shook his head and said.

"Captain, captain, let's withdraw." Long Sanfei's spies ran over and said, "The Russians have entered the hotel." ”

"Withdraw, Spearman, go." Long Sanfei patted Chai Shirong on the shoulder and said.

"Wait a minute, that seems to be a big official." Chai Shirong suddenly saw a man in an overcoat directing the soldiers, so he took aim and killed the man with one shot, and then immediately retreated.

He did not know that the man he killed was Gorcha, the younger brother of the head of the Harbin Engineer Soviet of the Russian Bolsheviks, and one of the persons responsible for the uprising, and his death angered the Soviet engineers. The sapper believes that this shot is a bullet fired by the command, and the command does not know whose bullet it is.

Gorcha's death, infuriating the rebel soldiers, brought four 50mm guns. Because of the support for the European theater, the army of the Eastern Railway was either small artillery under 65 caliber, or heavy artillery above 120mm. However, the 50mm artillery did not cause any damage to the command at all, and the battle continued until late at night, and the casualties of the rebel soldiers were very heavy, and the casualties of the command were very severe.

The whole of Harbin was caught in the middle of the battle.

Unlike in history, the Bolsheviks at this time already had armed forces, and instead of relying solely on the army anyway, tens of thousands of workers took up arms and attacked the believers of the former Tsarist Russia. What Horvat did not expect was that the Bolshevik attack would come so violently that he was vacillating between his allegiance to the Tsar or his defection to the new government, and before he could react, he learned that the various garrisons below him had been attacked.

The armed Bolshevik party members and soldiers who supported the revolution immediately formed Soviet power, announced the takeover of the Eastern Railway, appointed Slavin as the head of the Eastern Railway, appointed Captain Liujin as the chief of the Harbin Engineer and Soldier Soviet of the Russian Bolsheviks, and appointed Vladimir and Wangchuliuko as executive members of the Soviet Revolutionary Committee.

After Lyukin learned that his own brother had been killed, he was extremely angry, and the reason why he defected to the Bolsheviks was entirely because his younger brother was a member of the Bolshevik Party, and it was his younger brother who had always persuaded him to join the Bolsheviks, oppose the tsar, oppose the European war, and fight for the rights of the people, but what he didn't think about was that his younger brother was the first to die.

"Give me the command of the railway escort army, at any cost!" Liujin roared.

Horvat's Eastern Railway Command was guarded around the Middle East Railway Command, where more than 3,000 soldiers were concentrated, and it was completely possible to hold out in a battle, but the perimeter was surrounded by more engineers, who defended the soldiers of the uprising, the workers who were armed, and even the workers of the "Chinese" countries participated in the battle.

"Connect me to the commander of the Trans-Amur Military District, Beravidje!" Horvat roared.

"Your Excellency, the telephone line has been cut." The signal corps reported.

"Bastard!" Horvat waved his arms and shouted, "Are these workers going to kill us all?" ”

"Your Excellency, at this point, I can only agree to support the new government." The consul in Kazakhstan said.

Horvat paced back and forth, when a cannon rang out, and the crystal lamp in the living room was shaken off, smashed to the ground, and shattered to the ground. What's going on? ”

"Report!" The guards ran over and said, "They used artillery, 120mm heavy guns. ”

"Damn, these heavy artillery pieces were left to prevent the day himself, and they actually used it against us." Horvat aired, "These beasts who deserve to go to hell. ”

As the battle continued, the command of the railway convoy was soon contributed by Soviet sappers who had gathered a large number of soldiers, and although they suffered great losses, the commander of the railway convoy, Daleyan, and his dogs were all caught and shot mercilessly.

After the capture of the railway convoy, the Soviet sappers captured the police and captured alive the chief of the police, Arnorit, the executioner who had shot and killed many Bolsheviks, and Liujin also executed him mercilessly, and then divided more soldiers to surround the Middle Road Command. And cut off water, electricity, and food here. Liukin insisted that Horvat surrender and give him a night to think about it.

The headquarters of the Trans-Amur Military District was located in Changchun, where the elite of the Russian army of 20,000 troops had been retained, which was a permanent garrison to deal with the Japanese, and Major General Bervierje was in charge of this force, and he also encountered some troubles, his soldiers were now divided into two factions, but compared with Horvat, because the proportion of soldiers supplemented by workers among his soldiers was not high, and the uprising of these people was quickly suppressed. He can't be transferred at will, because the opposite side is the Manchurian Kwantung Army of the Japanese himself, and if he mobilizes the army, then it is very likely to arouse the covetousness of the Japanese himself.

Although Berevier wanted to support, he really couldn't do anything, he only hoped that the more than 1,000 Cossack cavalry of the road escort stationed in the Mudanjiang could support.

The news of the war in Harbin and Jilin continued to spread to the army headquarters in Saltu, Heilongjiang, Wang Maoru laughed with the information, this Russian dog eats dog, the worse the better, good, good, I will give you some good wine and meat to entertain.

"Report to the marshal." Wei Dongling walked over excitedly and handed over a piece of information with both hands.

"How?" Wang Maoru took it, laughed loudly, waved the intelligence and said, "Horvat is dying, work hard!" Lao Maozi is dying! There was a burst of laughter and whistles in the headquarters, and the joyous atmosphere tried to match the cannibalism of the Russians. (To be continued......)
