The first to fire were heavy machine guns and rifles, which were ambushed on a high ground more than 200 meters away from the embankment, posing a mortal threat to the Hubei army, and the gun emplacements and heavy machine gun positions of the gunboats Mikhail and Selenga were more or less shielded or shielded, but the ten towed sailboats had no protection, and the only wooden planks could not block the penetration of bullets at all.

In the rain of bullets, a large number of Hubei troops fell into the river, and the river was suddenly red.

The red-hot bullets pierced the planks or canvas, setting fire to three of the sailboats.

"Damn the yellow-skinned monkeys, dare to ambush us and kill them!"

The Hubei troops who were not shot on the gunboat were furious, and they turned their heavy machine guns and artillery one after another, aiming at the place where the bullets flew, preparing to retaliate.

However, at this time the mortars of the Huaxia Army opened fire.

Forty shells fired from 20 60-mm mortars and 20 82-mm mortars lying in ambush more than 300 meters away, flew into the air at a great angle with a sharp whistle, and then hung down from the air.

The mortar shells immediately covered the position of the river where the Mikhail and Selenga were located, and the shells exploded on the river and set off a column of water like a forest, while the two gunboats were hit by at least 10 shells, and the smoke, debris, and human flesh and bones kicked up by the explosion were scattered and splashed in all directions, blocking the sight of the shooters on the gunboats, and for a time they were unable to carry out an effective counterattack on the ambush positions on the embankment.

Taking advantage of this favorable opportunity, the 30 60-mm recoilless gunners of the Huaxia Army suddenly stood up from more than 100 meters of grass and fired fiercely at the Mikhail by using the method of using a direct-aim optical sight on their shoulders.

It was Lu Guanying's idea to hit a gunboat first, and he remembered that when he was studying at the military academy, the Great Emperor Hu Zhen once said that "it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt the enemy's ten fingers", so he ordered 30 recoilless guns to use armor-piercing shells more than 100 meters away to first concentrate on one gunboat, and strive to sink it in a single salvo.

It worked.

As a result of the direct aiming fire at a close range of 100 meters, all 30 shells hit the hull of the Mikhail, and the thin armor of the river gunboat could not stop the penetration of 30 60-mm armor-piercing shells.

Although it was only a 60-mm shell with an armor-piercing warhead weighing 6.5 kg, the power of the almost simultaneous explosion of thirty shells was quite amazing.

The explosion overturned almost all of the Mikhail's superstructure, and the explosion inside destroyed the ammunition depot, making the Mikhail feel like it was disemboweled.

After the explosion stopped, Mikhail was already unrecognizable, and the river quickly spread to cover the entire hull.

Seeing that its sister boat had been so badly hit, the nimble sailors quickly cut the cable towing the sailboat, turned the steam engine to its maximum power, turned the bow and fled downstream.

The Selenga had completely stopped at this time, and if it wanted to increase its speed to the maximum, escape to the center of the river and leave the range of the recoilless gun, and then go down the river to escape completely, and the rate of fire of the recoilless gun was 5-6 rounds per minute, and the recoilless gun could fire at least five or six salvos during this period of time, and it was almost impossible to escape.

Without the commander's order, the recoilless gunners immediately turned their guns to the Selenge and quickly loaded and fired.

This time, the Selenga moved, and the gunners were a little anxious, and several of the thirty shells went into the water.

And being hit and exploded by more than 20 shells at the same time was not something that the Selenga could withstand.

But the Selenga seemed to have had some better luck than the Mikhail, and did not sink immediately after the first round of shelling, but still relied on inertia to drag the flames towards the center of the river.

At this point in the battle, the gunners did not need the command to order, so they quickly reloaded and fired again, and although it was no longer possible to form a salvo, thirty or forty shells hit the Selenga in a minute.

The Selenge, which had escaped to the center of the river, was unable to escape in the end, and disintegrated into countless pieces in a violent explosion and threw into the river.

At this time, the thousands of Hubei troops on the ten sailing boats on the shore originally wanted to come to the Jiangdong area to kill the "yellow-skinned monkeys" and then rob some property, but they did not expect that their two gunboats would be sunk by these people in civilian clothes in just a few minutes, and they were immediately stunned.

But there were still some Hubei troops who couldn't turn their brains, and they even used rifles to shoot at the embankment.

This completely angered the ambushed Chinese soldiers, who frantically strafed the ten sailing ships filled the Hubei army with heavy machine guns, mortars, and recoilless guns.

These plank sailboats, even if a rifle fired a volley, can penetrate the water and sink, not to mention heavy machine guns, mortars, recoilless guns and other weapons of mass destruction with all their might.

In just two or three minutes, all ten sailing ships were sunk on the river, and the remnants of the Hubei army fell into the water.

Lu Guanying finally gave the order, but it was a request for the artillery to stop firing: "Okay, mortars and recoilless guns don't have to waste shells!" ”

The heavy machine gun also rang out frantically for a while, and was also stopped by Lu Guanying: "Don't waste bullets on the heavy machine gun gun, let the rifle shoot accurately!" ”

"It seems that the Hubei army is about to surrender with their hands raised!" The sharp-eyed warrior saw the pile of dead bodies in the river and threw away his rifles, raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, after all, it was not a shame for the Oros to surrender to an enemy stronger than themselves.

"We've been surrendered, and now we can't place them, snipers kill him!" Lu Guanying ordered coldly, because the battle situation does not know how to develop now, if he takes over the surrender of the Hubei army, it will become a burden, rather than this, it is better to let the sniper kill it directly.

Lu Guanying had a sharper idea in his heart, he wanted to wipe out all the more than 1,000 Hubei troops, let their corpses flow down the river, anger the Hubei army, and make more Hubei troops continue to rush to the Jiangdong area to die, so it is inevitable to kill all these more than 1,000 Hubei troops.

Of course, Lu Guanying was not unaware of the Jiangdong 64 Tun Massacre that took place in another time and space, and the Oros army killed all the 7,000 Chinese women, children, and children in Jiangdong 64 Tun and dumped their bodies in Heilongjiang.

But Hu Zhen was very aware of this tragic incident in his heart, and after seeing the battle briefing, Hu Zhen thought that this was a kind of retribution across time and space, and made a brief comment on the battle briefing: "This is war!" ”

The soldiers in the Huaxia army deeply hated the Oros army for bullying the Chinese people for a long time, and they did not have any objection to Lu Guanying's order to kill all of them, and they all carried it out very well.

Therefore, more than 1,000 Hubei troops in this ambush were all killed, and the blood splashed by thousands of corpses stained the river red, and the corpses went down the rolling river, so that the arrogant Hubei troops in the downstream basin of thousands of kilometers saw this terrible scene:

Under the firepower of the short Huaxia people, the original tall and big Hubei army would also die! (To be continued.) )
