Chapter 324 Vladivostok (VII)

It is said that this group of bandits was quite glorious in this area. The leader’s nickname is Heifengsha, and it is also a time-honored brand among the bandits in Northeast China. He has been in this industry for more than 30 years, from apprenticeship to bosses. He was active on the Liaodong Peninsula in his early years, which also made the news.

However, later, bandit armed forces such as Du Lisan, Zhang Zuolin, Feng Linge rose one after another on the Liaodong Peninsula, forcing Heifengsha to have no place to establish a foothold in the Liaodong Peninsula, so they had to lead the team north to move to Heilongjiang and Ussuri River areas. Of course, the old bandits were forced away by new bandits only on the surface. The deep-seated reason is that these new bandits are all bad, and there are many forces behind them.

In fact, strictly speaking, Zhang Zuolin and Feng Linge cannot be considered a real bandit. They debuted as local security groups and insurance teams. Du Lisan was born in the Green Forest for generations, but after becoming a powerful force, he also occupied a piece of land and controlled the Liaohe River waterway. In this way, he would have a relatively stable local foundation and a stable property income, which is much better than the Green Forest bandits who rely solely on robbing their families.

Moreover, after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan and Russia launched a fierce battle against the Northeast region. The local green forest forces in Long were also an aspect of the competition between the two countries. However, Japan and Russia basically had local forces like Zhang and Feng, rather than pure bandits like Black Wind and Sand. In this way, Zhang and Feng's power naturally expanded rapidly, and it was reasonable to overwhelm the Black Wind and Sand.

However, although the Heilongjiang and Ussuri River areas are not as rich as the Liaodong Peninsula, the Russian army can only control a few big cities because of their vast land and sparse population. This gives the bandits a wide range of space for activity. Russia only turns a blind eye to the activities of the bandits. As long as it does not affect Russia's rule in this area, Russia will not care too much. After all, it really has no extra energy. Of course, Black Wind and Sand is not stupid enough to go against Russia, so the two sides have a tacit understanding of each other and coexist. Although the power of Black Wind and Sand is not as good as before, it can still survive in the area where caravans and scavenging the local indigenous tribes.

However, after the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, it was not only civilians who were affected. Due to the economic depression, caravans were greatly reduced, and Black Wind and Sand life was not so easy. In the second half of last year, there were no decent transactions. Although there were still some buildings in the parcels and they would not be able to lose their lives in a short period of time, Black Wind and Sand also felt heavy pressure. After all, the parcels could only last for another 3 or 4 months, and the combination of bandits mostly relies on interests. Once the parcels could not hold on, they would immediately scatter and go their separate ways. Therefore, just after the New Year, Black Wind and Sand led the parcels' bandits to attack the Taier tribe.

In the past, Black Wind and Sands entered the Taier tribe twice, and both returned in a desperate situation because of the tribe's tight defense. However, in the past decade, the Taier tribe has developed the largest tribe in this area, so it would be a big deal to do it. If the Taier tribe was captured, it would be enough to support it for at least half a year. Of course, Black Wind and Sands did not know that the tribe is also facing a serious economic crisis now.

Although the attack failed for two consecutive days, Hei Fengsha and others were also prepared for a fierce battle, and did not care too much. They just didn't expect to be violently bombarded in the morning of the third day. Hei Fengsha's first reaction was that it was difficult for the Russian army to attack, because in his opinion, only the Russian army had artillery in this area, but they didn't understand why the Russian army came to attack him.

But now is not the time to think about these things, because shells are still falling from the sky, blowing objects in the camps into flying and snow mud splashing. Many bandits were injured and killed by the explosion and fell into the snow mud. Some war horses were killed, and some were frightened by the explosion and ran around.

The People's Army's mortars carried out a total of two waves of strikes, each of which fired 8 shells. Although it could not carry out a cover attack on the bandits' camps, the scope of the barrage formed by the shells basically included the bandit camps.

The shelling just ended, and only a "tick-tick-tick" sounded. It turned out that two machine guns were attacked by mortars and continued to put pressure on the bandits with cross-fire. The bandits' camp was built very smoothly and completely out of order. There was no wooden wall built outside the camp. It was bombarded by mortars for a while, and the camp was in chaos. Therefore, in the face of the fire of the machine gun, there was basically no obstacle, and countless bandits were immediately shot.

Hei Fengsha couldn't help but complain in his heart, what kind of luck did he have, or did he offend the gods along the way. After the shelling, he actually had machine guns to greet himself, and attack such a small bandit army. As for using such a ruthless weapon? However, he was also a bandit for many years. Although he had not learned formal military affairs, he had a lot of experience in actual combat. At the moment, he didn't care about the cold and lay motionless in the snow, because he knew that this could effectively reduce his attack surface and improve his survival ability.

The two machine guns each fired two drums, totaling 180 rounds, which basically pushed the bandits to the point where they couldn't raise their heads. Only then did the soldiers raise their bayonets to form a linear array, and push them towards the bandits' camp. While advancing, they shot and continued to maintain pressure on the bandits. At this time, Luo Yue ordered the tribes of the Tai Or tribe to also attack and participate in the war.

The powerful firepower of the People's Army just now made the people stunned. No one expected that this army of less than 100 people would have such powerful firepower, but everyone was very happy because with such an army helping them, it was very possible to defeat the bandits.

After being hit by the People's Army's continuous firepower, the bandits were already dazed and turned to the point where they still had the courage to fight with the People's Army. However, the People's Army was the bandit's back and flew up, thus cutting off the bandit's retreat path, and many bandits had to retreat in the direction of the Taier tribe.

At this moment, the gate of the Taier tribe wall opened and hundreds of people emerged. Most of them were cold weapons, and many of them were women, who happened to meet the retreating bandits, and the two sides started a fierce battle. The People's Army and the people led by Mu Zhehu also rushed up and started close combat with the bandits.

In fact, at this time, the number of bandits was still above the total number of the People's Army and the people. In addition to the People's Army, the combat effectiveness of the people's military was obviously incomparable to the bandits. Unfortunately, the bandits' spirit was relieved and they were attacked from both sides. Because of their attack on the People's Army, they could not resist it. Whether it was assassination ability or close-range shooting, the bandits were killed and injured, and corpses were everywhere. They had to escape from the battlefield from both sides.

The entire battle ended in less than 40 minutes. The coalition of the People's Army and the Taier tribe achieved the final victory. In Mu Zhehu's opinion, this was too easy to win, and the bandits were so vulnerable. However, he was also very clear that this was not that the bandits were too weak, because Mu Zhehu participated in the first two times when the bandits attacked the Taier tribe. However, both times the tribes were not the opponents of the bandits in the field. They were forced to defend the city and relied on the strong city to force the bandits to retreat. This time, it was entirely because of the joining of the People's Army that they could defeat the bandits so easily.

At this moment, only a young man and woman ran towards Mu Zhehu and shouted loudly: "Dad, Dad."

When Mu Zhehu saw this, he also threw Luo Yue down, met him, pulled one with one hand, and said, "Haita, Kulun, why are you?"

The young man said, "It was my grandfather who brought us out. Grandpa said we were the children of the patriarch and we have grown up now. Now that the tribe is in trouble, we should all do our best, so we have to go to war. I just killed a beard with my own hands."

Mu Zhehu nodded, patted his shoulder hard, and said, "Good, I deserve to be my son. Come and meet Luo Junmen."

As he said that, he led the two young men to Luo Yue and smiled and said, "Luo Junmen, these are my two incompetent children. Come on, I will greet Luo Junmen."

The two young men immediately bowed down and said, "I have seen Luo Junmen."

Luo Yue hurriedly stepped forward, helped the two of them up with one hand, and said, "No need to be polite, get up quickly." After looking at the two children carefully, the boy was about 16 or 7 years old, and the girl was only 14 or 5 years old, but she was quite heroic. At this time, they were all soft armor made of animal skins, splashed with blood, showing that both of them had experienced fierce fighting on the battlefield just now.

Mu Zhehu said: "The child Haita is 17 years old this year, and the little girl Kulun is not a great man for 14 years this year. He is called Luo Junmen to laugh."

Luo Yue said: "The patriarch is too humble. I think these two children are young heroes and have great prospects in the future."

While the two were talking, an old voice heard: "Ahu, is this Luo Junmen?"

Luo Yue looked up and saw an old man with armor on his body walking towards him. He saw the blade of a nine-ring single sword in one hand drooping, blood dripping down the blade, and holding a helmet in the other hand. Every step he took, the armor leaves on his body were "stunning". Although it has been five years since he arrived in this time and space, it was the first time Luo Yue saw soldiers in armor on his body. After all, after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing army was like a modern army, and basically eliminated the armor in all directions.

When Mu Zhehu saw this, he quickly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Dad, you are in your senior year, so you have gone to the battle, so you can leave it to me."

The old man glared at him and said, "I am the old patriarch. If I don't lead at this time, who will do my best to do my life in the tribe? Besides, there are countless Russians who died at my hands back then. What are these little thieves?" As he said, he raised the Nine Ring Single Sword in his hand and said, "Although I am old, this sword is not old yet. If you don't believe me, ask Haita, Kulun, there are not 10 thieves who died under this sword just now, but there are 7 or 8."
