Chapter 472

  Zhang Xueliang provided Li Bin with 2 million bullets, and Li Bin decided to take out 1 million bullets for the new recruits to train. The 1,000 new recruits each had to fire at least 100 bullets to ensure that they had a decent marksmanship.

  Although such training will consume half of the bullets, it is a worthwhile thing. Bullets can be obtained from the devils when they are gone, but a warrior who sacrifices one cannot be revived.

  In fact, Li Bin was extremely luxurious. At that time, most of the National Army troops had only ten rounds per soldier, and many people hadn't even fired a gun before going into battle, so the combat effectiveness of the National Army was simply not comparable to that of the Japanese army.

  Just as Li Bin was training those warriors, Xiao Bo and his wife walked over from behind. Xiao Bo shouted: "Brother, Lin Hua is ready, you can go to Russia first."

  "Alright! I'll just quickly pack up and we can set off right away!" Li Bin said.

  After finishing speaking, Li Bin called Huang Hua over again: "Huang Hua, sister, change into a casual outfit and come with us to the Soviet Union!"

  After packing his luggage, Li Bin changed into casual clothes and set off on horseback with Liu Linhua and Huang Hua to the Soviet Union. In fact, this time he went to the Soviet Union not only for the sake of guns but also for a more grand plan: in those years, Tsarist Russia occupied over 1.6 million square kilometers of Chinese territory, and Outer Mongolia was also about to follow suit with the Soviet Union. If he wanted to recover the land and take back Outer Mongolia, Li Bin would eventually have to go to war with the Soviet Union; it's just that for now, Japan was the number one enemy, and as for the relationship between Japan and the Soviet Union, there was no need to mention it - they were also sworn enemies.

  One man and two women, a total of three people, rode their horses over the mountain range, across the grasslands, into Mongolian territory, then through the Gobi Desert, arriving at the Sino-Mongolian border. When they passed through Mongolia, thanks to Liu Linhua's passport, they didn't encounter any obstacles, and within Mongolian territory, it was all Gobi desert wilderness with sparse human habitation, so basically no one would notice them.

  Arriving in Sükhbaatar, right across was the Soviet Union's Tchita, with armed Soviet soldiers patrolling back and forth along the border line. Although Liu Linhua had a passport, Li Bin and Huang Hua did not have one, he was thinking about how to enter the Soviet Union.

  Liu Linhua smiled and said, "Brother Li Bin doesn't have to worry, before we set off, I've already informed my old friend General Buliukhail, he should send someone to meet us at the border."

  After finishing speaking, Liu Linhua took Li Bin towards the border line.

  "Halt! What are you doing?" Two tall Soviet soldiers blocked Li Bin and his companions who had already crossed the border.

  "We are old friends of General Buliukhal, we have made an appointment with them in advance, this time is a special trip to find him." Liu Linhua said fluently in Russian while taking out her passport.

  The Soviet soldier looked at Liu Linhua's passport and then pointed to Li Bin and Huang Hua, asking: "Where are the passports of this gentleman and this lady?"

  Liu Linhua replied: "He is the commander of our Righteous and Brave Army's Independent Regiment, and Miss is our best sniper. This time, she has come with me to meet your army commander."

  "Sorry, you don't have a passport and you entered the country privately! Come with us! We don't know any Commander of the Righteous Brave Army Independent Regiment!" Two tall Soviet soldiers lifted up the short Li Bin like a small child. Another two Soviet soldiers also came forward and immediately grabbed Huang Hua.

  The Soviet soldiers ignored Liu Linhua's loud shouting at the border and dragged Li Bin and Huang Hua onto a truck, quickly throwing them into prison.

  The Soviet people were not friendly at all, Li Bin was thrown to the cold and damp floor like a discarded chick, Chita is very close to Siberia, although China has already entered the warm April, but here it is still a cold winter.

  The prison built during the Tsarist Russia era was indeed very uncomfortable, Li Bin spent a night inside, and early next morning, Liu Linhua came to the prison with General Blyukher's warrant to take out Li Bin and Huang Hua. The three then boarded a GAZ military truck heading for the base of the 57th Army in the Far East.

  He met with the commander of the Fifty-Seventh Army, Blyukher, who warmly shook hands with Liu: "Respected Miss Liu, welcome you to come to our Soviet Union again!"

  Li Bin was puzzled in his heart, this Liu Linhua was just the adopted daughter of a bandit, how could she speak Russian and even know Soviet generals? It's worth noting that Blyukher wasn't a simple person, after Zhukov was transferred to the west to resist Germany, Blyukher succeeded Zhukov as the commander-in-chief of the Far East, this man later became the Marshal of the Soviet Army.

  Buruhal turned his head again, his blue eyes staring at Li Bin: "I heard from Miss Liu that you are General Li Bin who made a name for himself in the Jinzhou Campaign?"

  Before Liu Linhua could translate, Li Bin preempted in Russian: "Yes! I am the Chief of Staff Li Bin who commanded the Jinzhou Campaign!"

  Upon hearing Li Bin's fluent Russian, Blyukhar was taken aback, but he remained calm and continued to ask: "And is the beautiful young lady beside you your wife?"

  Li Bin's face turned red as he hastily explained, "No, she is our militia's best sniper."

  "Sniper? Haha! You Chinese still have snipers, and a beautiful lady at that!" Brukhal burst out laughing. All the Soviet officers and guards in the living room also laughed loudly, holding their bellies.

  "What are they laughing at?" Huang Hua asked Li Bin in confusion.

  "They cancelled you because you are not a sniper." Li Bin replied.

  Huang Hua flew into a rage, her eyebrows inverted as she loudly shouted: "How dare you! If you're not convinced, I can challenge the best Russian sniper here!"

  Li Bin and Liu Lihua hadn't even opened their mouths when the translator had already told Blyukher what they were going to say.

  The general nodded after listening, then he said to Huang Hua: "Beautiful lady, welcome you to challenge our Soviet sniper! However, you should know that a qualified sniper is not only good at shooting, but also good at hiding himself! When attacked, he must be able to change his position flexibly and also be good at setting up ambushes and protecting himself. How to say it, an excellent sniper must first surpass the level of a scout."

  After translating what was said to Huang Hua, Huang Hua replied: "I'm very clear about all of these! General, can I start the challenge now?"

  "Good! Welcome your challenge! Let's go! Everyone go outside!" General Bruhahl said.

  As I walked onto the drill ground, I saw groups of Soviet soldiers training. Not far away, a young officer was teaching some soldiers how to shoot.

  "Major Zaitsev! Today, a young lady from China has come to challenge you." Burukhal had the officer summoned. Turning to Huang Hua, he said: "Beautiful miss, he is our best sniper here, I hope you can defeat him! If you can defeat him, I'll give you one of the finest Mosin-Nagant sniper rifles!"

  Xie Lao Fu looked down at the little girl, who was two heads shorter than him. He sneered to himself: A little girl, daring to challenge me! Fine! Let's not mention anything else, in a fight, I can knock you down with just one finger!

  As expected by Shalyapin, Bryukhal announced the first round as hand-to-hand combat. He did so because he was worried that if this girl really had good marksmanship and Shalyapin lost in the first round, it would be a huge blow to the morale of his men.

  The match began, and the tall and imposing Shalyov immediately threw a heavy punch at Huang Hua. Huang Hua dodged nimbly to one side, and the tall Russian missed his target. Shalyov's first strike having failed, he flew into another kick with a force of over a thousand kilograms, which would have broken bones whether Huang Hua tried to block it with his hands or legs.

  But then Huang Hua, like a light swallow, flashed another move, and then she circled around to Shalyapov's back, taking advantage of his momentum not yet stabilizing. With one hand lightly supporting his leg, the other palm struck his back, and with a footwork trip, in just one move, the short and small Huang Hua actually threw the tall and large Shalyapov more than ten meters away!

  The crowd was stunned, and Li Bin and Liu Linhua couldn't help but applaud vigorously.

  Xie Liang got up from the ground and threw another punch, but was again knocked to the ground by Huang Hua's four ounces moving a thousand pounds. This time, before he could get up, Huang Hua had already jumped onto his body, her fingers aimed at his throat.

  "Major Shalyapin, you've lost," General Bryukhal said. "If she had a dagger in her hand now and this were real war, you'd be dead twice over."

  After losing the first round, the second round was a hideout. At Brukhal's command, everyone left the training ground, giving Huang Hua and Sergey five minutes to hide.

  Time's up, Burlak orders all the snipers to enter the training ground to search for the two men. As a result, within the specified hour, no one can find Huang Hua and Xie Liufu.

  "Time's up! The two of them have fought to a draw this round. Come on out!" Bruhahl said, pulling out his pocket watch and taking a look.

  The third round is set up with hidden thunder and some simple mechanisms. The result of this round is still a tie!

  Li Bin smiled and said to Buryakhal, "General, there's one last round. If the lieutenant loses, you'll have to give her a top-notch Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle!"

  Buruhal nodded and said: "Alright, let's get started! Upper soldier, go fetch two sniper rifles!"

  Two brand new Mosin-Nagant sniper rifles were taken out of the warehouse by Sergeant, who first handed one rifle to Serzhov and then handed the other rifle to Huang Hua.

  Taking over the brand new sniper rifle, Huang Hua felt a distinct difference in hand feel from her original non-professional sniper rifle. She, who had always liked firearms, pulled the bolt back, pressed a shiny yellow bullet into the chamber, and then "whooshed" as she pushed the bolt forward.

  "Now I'll explain, your target is a moving target! In six hundred meters ahead, in a moment we will let a truck pass by slowly, with two targets on it. Major, you hit the left one, beautiful Chinese girl, you hit the right target! Within five minutes, each of you fires five shots, and see who has a higher hit rate!" said Bruhahl.

  Zhao and Sergeyev, carrying sniper rifles, arrived at the lawn and lay down. The two aimed their guns forward. After about a minute, a truck appeared in the sight of the two people.
