After entering the summer, there was no heavy rain that lasted for two hours in the whole southern Gan region, the crop yield was facing a large-scale reduction, more than half of the rice fields dried up because of lack of water, the big rivers and streams in the upper reaches of the Gan River did not rise, and the main stream of the Gan River was still as clear and gentle as spring water.

After more than half a day of arduous marching, the Seventh Division of the vanguard unit took the lead in entering Wuyun Town on the west bank of the Ganjiang River to rest, and the marching procession that stretched for ten miles behind it gradually slowed down, and hundreds of battalion and company commanders rode war horses, urging the soldiers to maintain their speed, and loudly announced that they could rest for half an hour when they entered Wuyun Town in front. This place is less than thirty miles away from Ganzhou City, and you can enter the city to rest before dark.

Army Commander Wang Jun and Chief of Staff Zeng Wanzhong rode on tall horses and came to the gate of the town office surrounded by a company's personal guards.

Wang Jun, who was covered in dust but looked majestic, replied with a reserved salute, turned over and dismounted, clasped his hands into fists and said a few words of thanks, and then entered the heavily guarded town office under the guidance of Li Shilong and other generals.

"Where's the baggage fleet?" Wang Jun asked as he walked.

Li Shilong hurriedly replied: "The fleet transporting ammunition and materials has arrived at the Hekou Wharf in the east, because there is no further order, the commander of the baggage battalion can only let the fleet dock to rest, and does not dare to go directly to Ganzhou City, the fleet transporting two artillery batteries and artillery has not yet arrived, but it should be soon." ”

Wang Jun nodded with satisfaction.

Several clever lieutenants diligently brought clean water, gave towels, served Wang Jun and Zeng Wanzhong to wash their faces and hands, and then brought hot and cold fragrant tea, as well as several large plates of ripe papaya and pineapple fruits.

Wang Jun and Zeng Wanzhong sat down on the main seat unhurriedly, took a few sips of tea from the teacup, and each picked up a piece of golden papaya and enjoyed it.

After eating three slices of papaya and a large piece of saltwater-soaked pineapple in a row, Wang Jun took the towel handed by the adjutant and slowly wiped his hands: "It's four o'clock in the afternoon, let the brothers in each department take a break and leave on time at four thirty o'clock." ”

"This place is less than fifteen kilometers away from Ganzhou City, the road is wide, the road surface is flat, you can walk in two hours, and you can enter Ganzhou City before dark."

Li Shilong echoed and said: "Ganzhou City is close at hand, and the soldiers do not need to carry baggage, the marching speed is still very fast, carefully calculated, the marching mileage of the whole army today has exceeded 20 kilometers, and there is absolutely no problem in walking another 15 kilometers." ”

Chief of Staff Zeng Wanzhong said with a smile: "For half a month, our army has been in a state of continuous marching, and the good thing is that the morale of all divisions and regiments has been maintained well in the current position, and the first two divisions will be able to have dinner in Ganzhou City before dark, haha!" ”

"However, the military seat needs to set off in advance, don't make General Youyang (Yang Chisheng) wait for a long time, otherwise it will make people say that it is rude."

Wang Jun laughed: "Then let's go one step earlier, Shilong, you can also go together...... Hey? What was that? Wrong! What does this sound ......?"

Before Wang Jun's voice fell, the sound of a "booming" explosion suddenly came, and Li Shilong shouted "cover the military seat", and then rushed out of the main hall as if he were flying, ran to the main road in front of the door, and looked eastward.

The quayside of the estuary was in flames under the continuous bombardment, the guards and boatmen who disembarked to rest rushed for their lives, and the small steamer towing four large cargo ships ignited a raging fire, and the two ships leaning on the wooden pier had been blown upside down, and the smoke mixed with broken planks and burning debris rose into the sky.

"Woo-"

"Boom-"

Dense shells continued to fly, and the deafening sound of explosions and dense heavy machine-gun fire continued.

"It's not good, the communist army is hiding on the mountainside on the east bank, and the bottom of the mountain is full of swamps and rocky beaches, and no one thought that there would be so many mortars hidden there!"

The commander of the special service company of the Yunnan Army, who was in charge of vigilance, ran to report in a frustrated manner.

Li Shilong still had the strength to investigate the responsibility, grabbed the front placket of the spy company commander, and shouted: "You immediately get on your horse, rush to the downstream section of the river with all your might, and order the fleet transporting artillery and artillery to turn around immediately!" Just go! ”

"Let's go."

The sturdy spy company commander rushed to his brothers ten meters away, while explaining to protect the division's seat, while snatching the war horse, flying up, turning the horse's head and legs clamped hard, and the war horse that was beaten by the horse whip and screamed, Chilu galloped northward.

Li Shilong's reaction was very fast, but the convoy transporting two artillery batteries and 12 guns was only one kilometer away from the Hekou wharf, and the officers and men on the four large cargo ships and the boatmen on the small steamer had already seen the tragic situation at the Hekou wharf and slowed down in time to lean towards the west bank, but the boat could not turn around and escape for a while and a half, and was still under mortar fire.

The commander of the special service company of the Dian army, who was galloping wildly, had not yet arrived, and more than a dozen mortar shells flew in with a sharp whistling.

Columns of water rose high around the fleet, and the four large cargo ships, which had not had time to untie the ropes, swayed violently in the churning waves, and dozens of officers and men were thrown into the middle of the river in the blink of an eye.

The heavy guns of the ship collided with each other under the tremendous torsional force, and a rain of bullets followed, causing the cargo ship to "crack", wood chips to splash everywhere, and the screams and shouts were all drowned out by round after round of violent explosions.

"Boom-boom-"

The two shells landed accurately on the deck of the towing steamer, blowing four shipwrights and two escort officers to pieces, and the steel-hulled hull hull more than 30 meters long sank suddenly under the action of the shock wave, and then was thrown high, and when it fell again, it had already moved several meters across the river, and the flames erupted from the big mouth that had been blown open.

Up and down the mountainside on the east bank, the same smoke and tense atmosphere were filled.

"Dada-da-"

The six heavy machine guns were all aimed at the wharf at the mouth of the river on the west bank, and the dense rain of bullets flew over the 800-meter-wide Ganjiang River, enveloping the enemy troops and ships of all sizes above and below the wharf, and the Third Army of the Yunnan Army, which was in a mess, had no chance to return fire at all.

Army Commander Wang Jun and Chief of Staff Zeng Wanzhong rushed out of the town in the rain of bullets, and before they could see clearly the communist troops on the mountainside on the opposite bank, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded, and the ground under their feet shook suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, the thick black smoke rose into the sky with the blazing flames, churning violently in the sky at a height of more than 100 meters, rapidly expanding, like a huge black mushroom soaring upward.

The waves rolled below the black mushroom, the huge waves were five or six meters high, the whole section of the river boiled like boiling hot water, the large cargo ship full of shells and the burning towing freighter had long since disappeared, and the two cargo ships in front and behind were torn apart after this violent explosion.

The only remaining large cargo ship was still in shallow water less than five meters from the river bank, rising and falling in the surging waves, revealing only a black keel of more than ten meters.

"It's over! A whole shipload of ammunition is gone......"

Zeng Wanzhong, who was pale, was in pain.

Wang Jun clenched his teeth, his eyes were like fire, staring at the dock filled with gunsmoke without saying a word, and the more than ten generals behind him were frightened and angry, but they did not dare to make a little sound at this time, until the gunfire on the east bank completely stopped, and the communist army on the mountainside raised a flaming red battle flag extremely arrogantly, and the generals and colonels behind Wang Jun let out bursts of angry scolding.
