Volume 1 The Secret Detective of the God of Medicine Chapter 125 Attack on the Ferry
On this strange night, the overlord of the water, Ruan Ying, led the twenty newly trained elite-level officers and soldiers of the water military camp to launch from the upstream Fengtai, dived into the side of the ironclad chain ship, and accurately calculated the moment when the master and apprentice of the Sky Harrier who carried out the decapitation operation on the ship left, and threw explosives ~ from the water to the chain ship, and finally Ruan Ying released an ignited explosive ~ medicine package to detonate all the explosives ~ on the ship, directing a new realistic farce of "Chibi" destroying the ship.
But for Luo Yingxiong, the generalissimo of the Democratic Army, who tried in vain to annihilate the democratic army in one fell swoop, it was a devastating blow.
Originally, it was 10,000 officers and soldiers of a division who guarded the ship, the division commander was killed, three brigade seats were killed, and the nine regiment commanders were also in a sudden violent explosion ~ Most of the officers and soldiers under their subordinates, as well as the half of the Mauser regiment that had just boarded the ship and were ready to attack the south bank, were glorious. The remaining surviving Mauser soldiers blindly shot at the "water ghosts" who had dived into the water, and eventually they all died in the flames caused by the explosion~blast.
The fire burned mercilessly, I don't know how long, and the people who came on the boat to try to water the fire because of this fire for some unknown reason came to the water and burned thousands of people.
The hundreds of ironclad warships that have been covered with the Huai River ferry link together have been torn apart in the explosion ~ explosion, and the blown up ships are constantly sinking to the bottom of the river or being swept away by the torrent and flowing downstream, look at the dozens of boats still floating on the river, I don't know if it can be used. When the fire finally gradually extinguished, Generalissimo Luo immediately ordered a battalion of officers and men to go into the water to rescue the boats, and I don't know how many officers and soldiers were swallowed up by the rolling torrent, and finally fished out twelve warships that were still intact on the shore.
Although these twelve big ships have lost their original brilliance in the smoke of the fire and smoke of the explosion~ explosion, and have become dark and embarrassed, they have also become Luo Yingxiong's last straw. Because there is still half a regiment of Mauser guns and horses on the south bank, and twenty large artillery, that is his life~root~-like hope. It is necessary to march to the south bank as soon as possible and assemble there in order to prevent a large force of the Democratic Army from encircling it.
At this time, the Democratic Army was also beginning to move, and the troops had completed their assembly, and they were about to launch a charge on the bank of the Huai River, when a confidential military information came from them, saying that the Luo Yingxiong Department on the north bank was relying on the 12 surviving large ships to transport troops to the south bank, and that it was going to join the artillery regiment and the Mauser gun regiment to form the next attack chain against our army.
This is a piece of information that cannot be ignored, because it is now known that Luo Yingxiong's 100,000 elite soldiers have lost 20,000, and half of the Mauser Gun Regiment has been wiped out, but there are still 100,000 soldiers and horses each of the two overseers on his left and right flanks, and if these troops cross the Huai River, 100,000 will create a situation of confrontation with the democratic army, and will also pose a new threat to our army.
The key is that the dozen or so warships that have been activated by the Romanian army have been thorned in the back, and the top priority at the moment is whether they can be effectively destroyed so that the operation of transporting troops is forced to be suspended, and our army can take advantage of the situation to encircle and annihilate its artillery and Mauser spearmen.
The commander-in-chief of the former enemy command headquarters set his eyes on the boss of the Sanji Company, Lord Gongsun Ao.
Gongsun Ao nodded, understood what he should do now, and sent Camp Commander Zhou of the Water Military Camp to give an explanation.
Battalion Commander Zhou quietly told the adults that the people brought by Ruan Ying were still lurking upstream, and they didn't know what our casualties were when they carried out the last mission. Now we have to give them additional personnel and explosives~explosives.
Gongsun Ao reminded Battalion Commander Zhou that the last time he blasted the rebels' ironclad serial boats, first, the Sky Driller with the decapitation operation on board was distracting the enemy's attention, and second, the underwater operation was unexpected, so the chance of success was greater, but now Luo Yingxiong has taken precautions against the above actions, so it is not appropriate to act according to the original measures.
Battalion Commander Zhou nodded in agreement, and decided to change the attack strategy, and definitely blew up the troop carrier on the Huai River.
What is Camp Commander Zhou's new strategy?
At this time, the sky over the Huai River is already the beginning of the morning light, and the clear sky is cloudless, and it is a good weather.
The cunning generalissimo Luo Yingxiong was commanding the officers and men to cross the river, and the cunning generalissimo had already learned the lesson of last night and tasted the fatal pain of the "water ghosts" bombing the ships; eighty percent of the 100 warships were damaged without a fight, and nearly 20,000 soldiers were assassinated or killed.
Generalissimo Luo ordered the army's Chinese official to write a stack of warning stickers, pasted on the bow of each warship, and wrote a line of bold and large characters, namely:
Pay attention to the movement in the water, there is a suspicion that a water ghost is asking for his life!
And canceled the operation mode of all ships gathering, two ships at a time, take care of each other, and respond to each other. When these two ships arrived on the south bank, they brought back two boats of Mauser gunmen to the north bank, and then transported two boats of officers and men to the opposite bank, which were mixed with Mauser gunmen, and once they found something suspicious in the river, they would shoot at them.
After receiving the mission, Battalion Commander Zhou also adopted a new strategy of attacking the enemy, not attacking the ferries in a group, because the enemy no longer had many ferries to transport troops, so it was the best policy to break up the whole party.
When he led 20 expert divers from the naval camp to Fengtai, which was 10 miles away from the enemy's crossing in the upper reaches of the Huai River, he learned that in an attack last night, five of the 20 officers and men with the best water ability were stabbed by objects that were damaged and flew into the water when they blew up the ironclad boat, and three of them were wounded. Later, three more soldiers and an officer were killed by Mauser shots.
The nine casualties had been rescued ashore, where the commander, Ruan Ying, bowed his head and remained silent, sad.
Seeing that the battalion commander had arrived, and knowing that there was a new mission, he heard from the battalion commander that the enemy still had 12 troop carriers, and that the former commander had asked the headquarters to get rid of them. He also instructed that this time it is advisable to take a small-scale operation, in groups of three, dive to the side of the enemy ship, and throw explosives ~ ammunition.
In order to quickly reach the designated location, the explosive ~ explosive team first traveled eight miles on land and sneaked two miles into the water. The battalion commander personally led the launch, and two groups were launched for the first time.
The battalion commander's arrangement was vetoed by Ruan Ying, and she asked to lead the two groups into the water first, but the battalion commander did not agree. Leaving two soldiers to guard the nine casualties, the other twenty-nine officers and soldiers of the naval battalion set off into the dense forest under the leadership of the battalion commander and Ruan Ying.
Soon they walked through the eight-mile road, hid in the forest, and saw Battalion Commander Zhou leading two groups of soldiers to quietly enter the turbulent Huai River and dive underwater.
At this time, the rebels were carrying the second batch of officers and soldiers, and two large ships each carried forty soldiers of the Beiyang Army, each of which had five Mauser gunners in charge.
When the ferry boat travels to the Huaishui River, the turbulent water is flooded with dirty foam, playing a strange whirlpool, and the whirlpool hits the side of the boat and makes a crackling ~ popping sound.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone on the boat exclaim:
"There are water ghosts!"
I don't know if he really noticed the anomaly in the water, or if he screamed because he hadn't woken up from the fear of the night's impending catastrophe.
