Scattered on the shore lay Imperial soldiers who had been killed by Gatling guns, and Captain Kawada was so angry that his face was iron-blue.

Seeing Liang Shanhao driving the armed speedboat towards the north bank, Captain Kawada shouted: "Inform the gunboat squadron that a ship with strong firepower has appeared on the river, and ask the gunboat to prepare to intercept the ships of the remnants of the Chinese army."

A herald nodded in response, "Hello!"

Subsequently, the herald reported the information of the interception request to the gunboat squadron.

……

On the surface of the river, where he could barely reach his fingers, Liang Shanhao drove an armed speedboat all the way.

Holding the Gatling gun and monitoring the enemy that might appear in front of him at any time, Wang Daniu shouted: "Tuanza, do you think there will be little devils on this river?"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Look at our luck! Cut the, give me good gun control! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the light of a searchlight swept over.

Liang Shanhao slowed down and shouted in a low voice to Wang Daniu: "Be ready to fire at any time!"

Wang Daniu replied in a low voice: "Yes!"

The muzzle of the Gatling gun was aimed at the direction of the light.

Liang Shanhao took a closer look and found that this gunboat didn't seem to be a little devil.

Because there is a rice flag flying on the bow of the ship.

Just as he was hesitating, a question shouted in English came from the gunboat on the opposite side: "The ship on the opposite side should stop immediately, we are the gunboats of the British Empire!" What part of you are! ”

Liang Shanhao remembered that during the Republic of China, armed ships of European and American powers often cruised on the Yangtze River.

At this time, the war between China and Japan was in full swing, but these ships belonged to neutral countries and were still on routine cruising missions.

Liang Shanhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at first he thought he had run into a little devil's gunboat!

Liang Shanhao replied in English: "I am a ship of the Nanjing garrison, and I am on a retreat mission!" Please don't stand in the way! ”

The British ship on the opposite side replied: "Hello, I wish you a safe retreat!"

Judging from the voice, the British still had a trace of sympathy for China at this time.

Liang Shanhao replied in English: "Three grams of oil."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cannonball flew towards the nearby water.

Thundered!

A column of water rises on the surface of the river.

His face changed color, and Liang Shanhao shouted: "Big Niu, at 13 o'clock, there is a gunboat with devils!"

Wang Daniu quickly turned the muzzle of the Gatling gun towards 13 o'clock.

Click, click!

Click, click!

A torrential rain of bullets poured down on the little devil's gunboat.

The little devil who stood on the gunboat and operated the cannon was swept away and fell crookedly on the gun position.

But soon, the muzzle of the little devil's cannon sparked again in the night.

Thundered!

Several shells flew over, almost overturning Liang Shanhao's armed speedboat into the Yangtze River.

Liang Shanhao hurriedly drove the armed speedboat to hide on the left flank of the British gunboat.

……

Raising the binoculars to observe the target a few hundred meters away, the devil officer shouted, "Yaga! This ship of the remnants of the Chinese army is too cunning, and it actually uses the foreigner's gunboat as a shield! ”

A devil cannon commander shouted, "Your Excellency, commander, what now?"

There was a hint of fierceness in his eyes, and the devil officer shouted, "Keep banging me!" This ship must not be allowed to cross the river! ”

The devil cannon commander frowned and said: "But if the British ship is accidentally damaged, will it cause unnecessary diplomatic conflicts, we are currently friends with the British Empire!" You can't easily create friction! ”

The devil officer shouted in a muffled voice: "I can't care about it so much! The ship's Shina army hurt His Royal Highness, and the commander of Yanagawa explained that he would intercept the ship at all costs! ”

The devil cannon said: "But ......"

The devil officer shouted: "There are not so many, but besides, it is so dark now, in case we accidentally damage the British ship, we can also frame it for the Chinese army."

The devil cannon commander responded: "Hay!"

As soon as the words fell, the devil gunboat opened fire again on Liang Shanhao's armed speedboat.

Shout! Shout! Shout!

Thundered!

The three shells landed very close to the British gunboat, and the splash of water poured the British captain in the face.

The British captain scolded: "Shit! How did the Japanese on the opposite side fire at us? What's going on? ”

Looking at the devil gunboat opposite, the gun commander was also confused.

The British captain shouted: "Order the signalmen to signal the lights and tell the Japanese that we are British ships and please do not fire!"

The signalman took out two flashlights and fired a series of friend or foe identification messages at the devil gunboat.

Liang Shanhao's gunboat hid behind the British gunboat and was unharmed.

Wang Da Niu shouted: "Tuanzuo, your trick is a bit excessive!" The British helped us block the shells. ”

Liang Shanhao sneered: "The British are not a good thing, let them eat dogs best!"

……

Devil gunboats.

Looking at the signal from the British gunboat, the devil officer suddenly hesitated.

If the artillery continues to fire at this time, despite the pleas of the British, it will definitely hurt the diplomatic relations between Britain and Japan.

But now that the shelling has stopped, it is quite possible that the ship will be let go.

The devil artillery commander shouted: "Your Excellency, commander, what now? Do you want to keep firing? Britain is signaling to us! ”

The devil officer shouted in a calm voice: "Don't scruple so much! Keep firing! ”

The commander of the devil artillery replied: "This ...... Shall we not see it? ”

The devil officer shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, keep firing!"

Shout! Shout! Shout!

Three shells again smashed into the British gunboat.

Two of the shells raised columns of water on the river, and the other hit the engines of the British gunboats.

The British gunboat is on fire!

The British captain scolded repeatedly: "Shit! shit！ The Japanese actually ignored the interests of our British Empire and openly opened fire on our gunboats! ”

The British gunner shouted: "Mr. Captain, our gunboat has lost power!"

The British captain shouted, "What? Hurry up and fix it! ”

The British captain shouted, "Yes!"

At this time, Liang Shanhao had already driven the armed speedboat farther and farther.

The devil gunboat continues to tailgate!

Shout! Shout! Shout!

Boom Boom!

The devil's shell chased Liang Shanhao's armed speedboat and bit it.

The icy river splashed three people.

Liang Shanhao shouted in a deep voice: "Wang Da Niu, prepare to kill a horse pistol for the little devil!"

With a wicked smile on his face, Wang Daniu responded, "Okay!"

Adjusting the throttle, Liang Shanhao drove the armed speedboat to play a beautiful serpentine move in front of the devil gunboat.

At the same time, the Gatling guns on the gunboat began to fire wildly.

Click, click!

Click, click!

The dense rain of bullets cut a stream of iron in the night sky and flew straight towards the devil's gunboat.

Jingle Bell!

The devil's gunboat had numerous bullet holes.

The necks of the two devil gunners were pierced.

The devil officer was hit in the shoulder by a stray bullet.

The artillery commander hurriedly picked up the devil officer: "Your Excellency, Commander!"

Holding back the pain, the devil officer shouted repeatedly: "Give me a cannon, give me a cannon!"

The devil's shells flew towards Liang Shanhao's armed speedboat again.

But Liang Shanhao is like an old driver, and the armed speedboat is maneuverable, and the devil's shells are cleverly dodged.

At this moment, a rapid warning sound floated in Liang Shanhao's mind.
