Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 31 Mine Raid

  "Stop, what are you talking about?"

  "Wild Wolf" Birken could not understand the obscure Chinese, but from the resentful eyes of the Hongmen brothers, it could be seen that it was not a good thing.

  He himself is a brave bandit leader, unreasonably stirring the three-pointer, how can he endure this situation?

  The white gangster threatened the Hongmen brothers. Of course, there is no need to bear it. Li Heihu stood out, showing the shiny revolver around his waist, and replied;

  "I know you, the wolf, Birken. Everyone does not offend the river. Don’t think that the Han people are easy to bully, and you can’t offend some people."

   "Wow, are you teaching me how to do things? What is your name... Oriental."

   "I am a black tiger, tell you how to behave, don't deceive others too much."

"Black Tiger?" Birken stared at the sturdy man Li Heihu on the opposite side, chewed these two words repeatedly, and said; "This is a very strange name, I am a wild wolf, you are a black tiger, do you want to eat it? Me? Or kill me and take the position of the boss of the wolf gang?"

  Li Heihu was taken aback. He didn't expect the foreigners to understand this way, and yes, these furry whites are more like uncivilized barbarians.

   "I'm not interested, I advise you not to do too much for wicked things, just enough."

"Hey... it sounds like a preaching priest. Maybe I should introduce myself, the wolf Birken. I killed three priests by myself. Two of them. I cut their throats with a knife by myself, because they It's too noisy."

  Bilken licked the corners of his mouth with a ferocious air. When facing a larger number of Chinese, his momentum prevailed; “In my dictionary, no one dared to make irresponsible remarks. Those who dared to do so are dead.”

  The confrontation between the bandits and the Hongmen brothers attracted the attention of the Hongmen brothers nearby, and they quickly rushed to support them from all directions.

  Such a big movement caused the bandits of the Wild Wolf Gang to stop, and surrounded Milken nervously, their confidence was already insufficient.

  There are only 10 gangsters, but there are hundreds of Hongmen brothers who are surrounded by them. Many of them are armed with guns. Once the fire is combined, it is not fun.

  Gold mines do not allow Chinese miners to carry guns, but they are open to white gold prospectors. This is the basis of their daring to act recklessly.

The Hongmen brothers don't care about this. Since the security of the gold mine has deteriorated, many people have hidden revolvers in their clothes. Anyway, it is impossible for the white guards of the gold mine to search one by one.

"You can scare those little characters with your words, you don't need to show off in front of me." Li Heihu has seen this kind of small scenes a lot in the Victoria Gold Mine. He proudly clasped his fists and bowed his hands to the sky. Introduce yourself. Under the main seat of Hongmen Mountain, the deputy Li Heihu of the Qinglong team, my Hongmen brothers in Queensland are tens of thousands.

   "Wow, that sounds amazing, what if I have to touch it?" Birken was an unbeliever.

   "There is only a dead end."

The speaker was a tall man who stood out from the crowd. He looked about thirty-two or three years old. His hardened beard under his jaw was even more awe-inspiring, and he spoke aggressively; "I It is Li Baihu, the captain of the Qinglong squadron under the main seat of Hongmen Mountain. If you want to use the knife or the gun, even if you want to use the knife, even if you want to use the gun, you can draw the word.

  Bilken couldn't help but stepped back a few steps, watching the large crowd of people coming from the side with vigilant eyes. Many of these people were bulging with weapons around their waists and staring at the gangsters with unkind eyes.

  It can be seen that they are all hard stubbles who have seen blood.

  Don’t ask why you know it. This is a kind of mutual induction between people of the same kind, and you can feel the danger when you look at it.

"OK, okay, I think it’s very pleasant to talk about today, and I don’t mean to take the initiative to find trouble." Birken continued to step back a few steps, and his words were obvious. He is not the kind of brash guy who only knows how to behave, otherwise I will not live now.

Facing the crowded Hongmen brothers, "Wild Wolf" Birken knew that he could not continue; "Let us all calm down, Mr. White Tiger, oh... by the way, and Mr. Black Tiger, your name is really true. It's depressing. Wild wolves can't single-handedly challenge two tigers. It's not fair. We will leave here quietly, um...have a chance to have a drink."

  Li Baihu looked at the three gold diggers who died miserably on the river beach, the anger in his eyes loomed, and he forced himself to suppress his rolling emotions, and said;

   "Man is doing it, the sky is watching, and you will be condemned by the gods if you want to do it."

"Are you saying that God will punish me?" Birken took his men back for a while, and he said with both hands indifferently; "I am destined to enter hell, only to enjoy it before then. , Listen... The two tigers in the east, Birken the wolf, are not afraid of you, but to avoid unnecessary merging. This is a situation that neither of us wants to see, so...bye. "

  After finishing speaking, he led a group of gangsters and slipped away altogether.

  The Hongmen brothers pushed back the brutal gangsters, cheers involuntarily rang out from the crowd, and looked at the domineering Li Baihu with admiration, this is the captain of the Hongmen Qinglong Brigade.

  Li Heihu stepped forward and said; "Big Brother...I'm really frustrated!"

   "No need to say, I know what you want to say."

Li Heihu looked around the messy river beach, sighed and said, "Even though our brother is so powerful, how many nails can he hit? This is a cannibalistic way of life, even if there is unwillingness and flesh and blood in the land of a foreigner. Is the body really capable of guns and cannons? With one last effort, I can only protect my Hongmen brothers from harm. We can't control anything else, and we don't have this ability."

   "Oh...the big dragon head doesn't know what he thinks?"

"shut up."

Li Baihu categorically stopped and reprimanded with a stern expression; "Did you have a faint after two good days? The big dragon head dare to talk about it. He is the backbone of our thousands of Hongmen brothers. If there were no big dragon heads and ghosts. Do your best to deal with it, do you think the situation of my Hongmen brothers will be much better than these scourge gold prospectors?"

  "Brother, I...I was wrong."

  "Remember, we are difficult below. The big leader is concerned about the safety of thousands of Hongmen brothers that are hundreds of times harder than ours. For the sake of the venerable, we must not speculate."

   "Fool brother has been taught."

  Sunset, the sunset glow in the sky with blood red light, the beauty is thrilling.

  After a day of hard work, Dennis Gold Mine workers are gradually dispersing. Many free laborers come on horseback, and the horses are supervised in the woods.

The indentured laborers got on the crowded carriage and endured the bumps all the way back to Brisbane, hoping to have a hot meal at Fook Lam Men Hotel, and cut a plate of fragrant pork head meat with wine, cheap and delicious. .

  The huge Dennis Gold Mine only has a row of wooden houses on the hillside. The armed guards packed the gold sand harvested today in wooden boxes and carried them one by one on the wagon.

  There is also the prospecting tax paid by each taobao finder. 4 silver shillings per person a month are not paid in one lump sum, but three copper pennies a day, regardless of whether the Chinese or white people enter the mine.

  Thousands of people add up, which is not a small number.

John Dennis walked out with a high-spirited horse whip in his hand. Behind him was more than two dozen heavily armed gold mine guards, as well as the cringing Irish girl Alita, her beautiful face still with tears and her clothes. There were blood stains on the skirt.

There are more than 100 armed men on the Dennis Gold Mine. Except for leaving more than 30 people to watch the night, to prevent someone from stealing gold sand in the dark, the others followed Master John Dennis back to Brisbane, escorting thousands of pounds worth of money along the way. Gold sand.

   "Hurry up, don't be too slow, I'm going to attend the dance party hosted by Speaker Edward's wife tonight, and hurry up and put all the **** gold sand on it."

   "It's all right now, Master Dennis."

  John Dennis turned his head impatiently, and saw Alita cringing approaching, and felt annoyed again in his heart; "What are you **** doing, want to tell everyone that I abused you? Damn it!"

  He slapped Alita with an angry slap, and red blood was flowing from the corner of the weak woman's mouth, and her hand was horrified on her white face, where 5 bright red finger prints appeared.

"You stay in the mine tonight, don't follow me everywhere." The abuser gave John Dennis a different kind of pleasure. He was triumphant in the excitement of the armed guards around him. He wiped his hands with a silk handkerchief and said, "Oh... my God, I can't imagine what a desperate scene the beautiful noble lady would hear me fooling around with an Irish woman."

"Do not……"

  Alita's eyes were wide open because of her fear and beauty, and her white chest undulated violently. She screamed sternly, full of extreme fear and despair.

  There are only more than 30 rude men in the quiet mine at night. How miserable will a weak woman stay here?

Regardless of the pain on her face, Alita climbed a few steps on the ground, and hugged John Dennis’s bright cowboy boots, begging; "Please, benevolent Master Dennis, please don’t leave me in the mine. In the field, I am afraid..."

   "Go away, bitch."

  Amidst the malicious laughter of the armed guards, John Dennis scolded and kicked his feet...

  At this moment, the sudden change took place.

"Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa……"

  A burst of continuous and crisp gunfire sounded, echoing in the valley.

The white armed guards gathered in a group were covered with blood spatters, and fell down like leeks. Several blood holes appeared in the violent John Dennis silk shirt, and they trembled violently and took a few steps back. Sit down on the edge of the wooden house.

  There was an incredible look in his eyes, and he gradually lost his look...

   "Oh my God, we were attacked, Master Dennis..." Gold Mine Captain Steve McQueen reacted quickly and got down immediately.

  He turned his head and saw John Dennis stubbornly staring, his heartbeat slowed for a beat.

  Sir Dennis has 3 daughters in total, but there is only such a precious son. This is something very serious. Some people will bear the thunderous anger of Sir Dennis, including himself.

  The attackers were clearly prepared. The guns were flooded and fired like a rain. The white guards who gathered around to watch the excitement suffered heavy casualties. Those who escaped by chance crawled to find cover and began to counterattack.

  Facing a secret enemy, this is destined to be futile.

  The sound of the guns exploded like beans exploding, and the sawdust from the carriage and the wooden house was flying around, and densely packed gunholes appeared.

  Between the two parties

  The white guards were hit by bullets from time to time, wailing loudly, and tossing and turning on the ground.

  These small wooden houses on the hillside have turned into a **** slaughterhouse.

  The red blood stained the ground, and the splash of blood stained the wooden house. A large number of corpses lay on the ground, and there were severely injured people dying and struggling.

  The firepower of the attackers was very fierce. They were armed with a sharp German-made 1871 Mauser rifle. After a shot and a bolt, they could be manually retracted and loaded, aiming and then shot again.

  Compared with the breech gun used by the guards of the gold mine with a paper shell charge, the firepower has been more than several times stronger, and it has been pressing the opponent hard.

  In the process of fierce firefight

  The white man suddenly noticed the attacker, with a strange wooden mask on his face, like a messenger who crawled out of hell, his morale collapsed instantly, and he raised the white flag and surrendered with heavy casualties.

  Some reckless white gold diggers wanted to go to the rescue, but they were thrown down by a violent bullet rain, and they were immediately frightened.

  Fighting for more than ten minutes, the battle ended soon.

  Many armed attackers stood up from the bushes in all directions, all of them wearing fierce wooden masks, waving their hands to let the remaining gold diggers leave quickly, and then cautiously surrounding them with their guns.

   Seventy or eighty white guards gathered at the door of the wooden house. Most of them were shot dead. Fewer than 20 people were still alive, most of them lingering with gunshot wounds.

   Surprisingly, Alita, who was devastated by violence, was not injured in the shootout, but was overwhelmed and fainted.

   "Boss, there is a woman here..." The Grimace team couldn't help but cried out in surprise, revealing a strong Chinese accent.

   "Oh, she is also a hard-failed woman, take it home."

   "Okay, how about the others?"

   "There is not a good thing in it, leaving it is a scourge, let's kill it all."

  "Spare my life..."

"Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa……"

   Continuous and crisp gunshots sounded, and the begging for mercy came to an abrupt end. In the evening of this spring, the Palmer River added a touch of blood.

The grimace team members who participated in the attack were sharp and sturdy. After quickly collecting the battlefield, they drove the carriage away from the gold mine, leaving only the corpses everywhere, as well as John Dennis, who was sitting down at the door of the wooden house of the gold mine. With his eyes wide open, he looked like he was dead.

During the gunfight, Li Baihu and Li Heihu, who were lying in the grass, faintly heard the familiar accent, and couldn't be excited by themselves.

  Li Heihu slammed a fist on the mud ground, and exclaimed; "It's great! Brother, do you think Lord Shanzhu made the move?"

   "Well, nine out of ten." Li Baihu couldn't hide his excitement. Looking around the entire Queensland state with such a large number of elite personnel, only the Red River Valley Ranch was the only one.

  Strikes sharply, commands strict orders, and leaves with one blow.

  The most part of the drama is that he did not commit any crimes against the Chinese gold digger Qiu. On the contrary, when white gold diggers gather, it is a "cracking" meal, killing or wounding.

  As the saying goes; what kind of person plays what kind of bird.

  This sharp and fierce style is very similar to the style of the big leader Li Fushou.
