Volume 1 Wuchang Vortex Chapter 3 must be reversed!
Du Laoliu stood in the woods, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, looking down at Xiao Anguo and the others, feeling that he had been very comfortable recently.
Ever since he bought hundreds of foreign guns from Guangxi, he became a hot commodity. First, his status in the Gelaohui rose rapidly, and then even the party members came to win him over.
To be honest, he had no idea what revolution meant. He only knew that troubled times had finally arrived and he wanted to buy a gun to make a fortune, so he recently made up his mind to spend 500 dollars to get this Hotchkiss repeating rifle from some Frenchmen.
Since he got this big guy, his life has been completely changed compared to before. This time, taking the opportunity of those old guys from the Gelaohui participating in the Railway Protection Movement, he blocked this place in the name of stopping the Qing army from entering Sichuan. He made no less than several thousand dollars in cash in a month.
Thinking of this, Du Laoliu couldn't help but touch the waist bag in his arms. A full five thousand oceans were exchanged into silver notes and stuffed in his waist. As long as he made a few more big deals, he would not have to worry about food and drink no matter who ruled the world in the future.
As for the big deal...
Du Laoliu narrowed his eyes and looked at the dozen or so tightly tied carriages at the foot of the mountain. His heart was drooling. Apart from anything else, just the fact that all the escorts were armed with spears was enough to tell him that there were good things inside. He might be able to make 70,000 or 80,000 yuan from this trip. So he was ready to kill them first. As for whether he had killed the wrong person...
What does this have to do with me? After the deed is done, I can label them as spies of the Qing army, and I can go to Chengdu to claim the reward. For this "great achievement", I might even be able to become the magistrate of Guang'an County.
Done!
Du Laoliu rolled up his sleeves and decided to do it, but after all, he was born in a mountain village, so he was bold but careful, so he deliberately hid the automatic machine gun in the woods, ready to wipe out the blind guys on the opposite side.
Du Laoliu stood next to the machine gun, watching his men push the gun forward a few meters and load the yellow bullets into the barrel. He felt hot all over.
Isn't this what they mean by "a single shot of a machine gun brings in a fortune"?
While they were having a sweet dream, Du Laoliu and all the bandits saw a sturdy young man suddenly jump out from the crowd opposite. He first shouted "Scatter", and then flew over and pinned the black-faced leader who was speaking under him like a hungry tiger.
What is this? A flying donkey waiting to be slaughtered?
Kill him!
Du Laoliu got angry and jumped up and down, pointing at Yang Qiu and yelling.
"Da da..." Before everyone could come to their senses, the machine gun had already sounded!
Strings of bullets rained down around Yang Qiu and Xiao Anguo. The tearing sound of the air and the dust enveloped the two of them. The three new army soldiers standing behind them were hit by stray bullets and fell in a pool of blood without even a shout.
The moment his body was pushed down, Xiao Anguo knew that something was wrong. He was not a fool and knew that the other party was not prepared to talk at all. The gunshots that followed made him bloodshot. When he was carried to the back of a big rock and hid behind it, he realized that it was Yang Qiu who saved his life.
"Hu Zi, are you okay?" Ever since Yang Qiu joined the army, Xiao Anguo has respected this young man who had studied in a foreign school and always wanted to make him his confidant. So when he saw that Yang Qiu's arm was stained with large red spots, he hurriedly asked with concern.
"It's okay, just a mosquito bite."
Yang Qiu, hiding in the corner, was confused. Why did he act on instinct? He had been retired for many years, but he still liked to be a hero. Fortunately, the guy operating the machine gun on the opposite side should be a novice, and his arm was just scratched. However, when he thought of the dense chirping sounds beside his ears just now, he still shuddered.
"Brother Yang, are you okay?"
At this time, Ma Kui and Bingwen had already dispersed with everyone to fight back. Seeing a red spot on Yang Qiu's arm, Bingwen leaned out and asked loudly without caring about the danger.
"Hide, be careful of their machine guns! The adults and I are fine." Yang Qiu endured the pain and quickly signaled that he and Xiao Anguo were fine.
Seeing Xiao Anguo also climbed up, the soldiers finally calmed down and fought back. Bullets continued to shuttle between the two sides. The bodies of the three comrades in the middle of the road were particularly eye-catching, but there was a Hotchkiss blocking the road, and they couldn't even get the bodies back.
Du Laoliu, who was standing on the hill, realized what was going on when he saw Yang Qiu pounce on Xiao Anguo and then crawl behind a big rock. How could a mob react so flexibly ? These guys must have been born in the military.
"Brothers, these are the running dogs of the Qing court. They are here to rob our railways . Kill them." As expected of the boss, Du Laoliu immediately thought of putting a big hat on his opponent. Now all the bandits started howling. Bullets flew everywhere and the two sides fought fiercely. People were shot and fell down continuously.
The familiar sound of gunfire made Yang Qiu feel as if he was back in the days when he was in the army. He pulled the bolt to load the gun in one go, and before Xiao Anguo next to him could understand what was happening, he suddenly pulled out old clothes from his backpack and threw them into the air.
The flying clothes startled all the bandits. After all, the scene of Yang Qiu flying up to save people was too shocking. Everyone thought that the flying stubborn donkey had come again, and they were so scared that they turned their guns away.
Just when their attention was temporarily diverted, while Xiao Anguo was stunned, Yang Qiu suddenly leaned half of his body to the left, raised his gun and shot.
From the narrow crack in the rock, Xiao Anguo saw that the guy who was rushing in the front and had just leaned half of his body out to talk to him was hit directly in the chest by the bullet. However, before he could cheer, he heard Yang Qiu next to him shout "Oh no!"
It turned out that Yang Qiu mistook the Mauser for an automatic-loading assault rifle. He pulled the trigger three times but only found that only one bullet was fired. He was so scared that a chill ran down his spine. Fortunately, the bandits on the opposite side did not realize it, so he was able to retreat behind a big rock again.
"Idiot! Idiot!"
After Yang Qiu cursed himself inwardly and reloaded his gun, almost all the bullets from the opposite side flew over and smashed the area around the big rock where he and Xiao Anguo were hiding. Fortunately, this group of bandits had not bought any mountain cannons, otherwise he would have become the first short-lived time traveler in history.
"Bingwen, Brother Ma, cover me!" The fierce opponent actually aroused Yang Qiu's desire to fight. He shouted and reminded those behind to cover him. After receiving the reminder, the two people who had the best relationship with him immediately organized everyone to concentrate their firepower to deal with the machine gun, which allowed Yang Qiu to find an opening again.
He leaned forward and fired, and the second bandit fell under the gun.
This contraction and extension was as fast as lightning, and before everyone could see clearly, Yang Qiu pulled the bolt and loaded the gun again, bypassing Xiao Anguo and moving to the other side, his body leaning to the right. This time he did not lean out half of his body as usual, but suddenly kicked the stone with both feet, using the force to create a gap and fired another shot while half lying down.
As the gunshot rang out, another person fell on the opposite side.
This series of smooth movements made Xiao Anguo, Bingwen and others dumbfounded, especially Du Laoliu, whose jaw dropped. He didn't understand why this young man who was taller than a straw and was about to be slaughtered with a butcher's knife turned into a stubborn donkey with chicken blood injected as soon as the gun was fired? !
More importantly, blood is still gushing out of this guy's arm!!
Du Laoliu's heart ached, this team was his life! Although Yang Qiu's next two shots did not yield any results, the bandits were still scared to the point of lying down and not daring to show their heads. They only used machine guns to suppress this side from a distance to prevent the big guy from suddenly attacking and injuring people again.
Being suppressed by a machine gun and assisted by a hundred guns, Yang Qiu was helpless. If he had the most familiar Type 81 rifle, he would definitely be able to fight against these idiots who stuck half of their bodies out to shoot. But now he only had a Hanyang rifle, which required pulling the bolt once for each shot. It was not powerful enough!
"Oh, how could I have forgotten it?"
The unsuitable weapon finally reminded Yang Qiu of the M1911A1 that came with him. It can fire continuously, but it is a close-range weapon, so he had to think of a way.
Seeing Yang Qiu looking around, Xiao Anguo gradually recovered from a series of incredible thoughts and asked, "Brother Huzi, what do you think we should do? If we stay like this, we will be doomed ."
Xiao Anguo's tone made Yang Qiu slightly stunned. Although he was one of the few college students in the new army who had attended a foreign school, and he trained hard like a newborn tiger cub, so everyone called him Tiger, but after all, he was young, and everyone usually called him Tiger. It was the first time he heard someone call him brother! Especially Xiao Anguo! This meant that his excitement just now to save him was still useful, at least he had been recognized by the captain.
"Sir, I have an idea."
"Don't call me sir. If it weren't for you, I would have lost my life today. I, Xiao Anguo, swear today that from today on, you and I are brothers! We will share the joys and the sorrows! You tell me how to fight. If you make a mistake and lose your life, I won't blame you." Seeing Yang Qiu's bravery, Xiao Anguo was even more determined to treat him as his confidant. He swore with a serious face.
"You are too polite, sir." Yang Qiu was not polite either, pointing to the cliff next to him and said, "There is only one way to escape now, that is, climb up from here, go around behind them and destroy that machine gun."
"Okay, I'll take someone with me."
Xiao Anguo was indeed a straightforward man. After hearing this, he prepared to organize people to climb up, which made Yang Qiu dumbfounded. He quickly pulled him and said, "Sir, this place is too obvious. If you climb up without cover, you will definitely be blocked by machine guns, so you must use firepower to lure them up."
"Fire lure? What does that mean?"
"..." Yang Qiu slapped his forehead, and he really wanted to cry. Didn't they say that the Hubei New Army had German instructors? Why didn't this guy even understand firepower bait?
"Please look, sir. This is us, this is the enemy, and this is the cliff. We just need to show a strong attack posture. Here, yes, here, organize everyone to move out and keep firing, and attract them over here..." Now was not the time to pursue the matter. Yang Qiu immediately picked up a stone and drew the current terrain and the enemy's firepower on the ground. Just a few strokes made Xiao Anguo's eyes light up. When he explained what firepower induction was and the tactics that should be adopted at the moment, he was nodding repeatedly.
Seeing that Xiao Anguo finally understood, Yang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. This feeling of sharpening one's weapons before a battle was even more tiring than fighting in a war himself. Fortunately, it was not a more detailed strategy of cross-charge and cover.
After handing the task of arranging cover to Xiao Anguo, Yang Qiu also prepared himself. He first took out a pistol from the cloth bag, and after confirming that the safety was not opened, he inserted the pistol into his belt. Although it was a bit dangerous for his second brother to do so, it was because Brother Hat did not provide a holster.
This is a shitty world. You have to risk your life as soon as you get here.
It must be reversed!
