Chapter 264: A torpedo boat flying in a rain of bullets
Da Da Da ......
Japanese fighters were diving, machine guns were strafing, and bullets rained down into the positions like hailstones, into the sardine-like crowds of refugees, often with a single bullet piercing the bodies of four or five people, and blood flowed like a river.
The crying and shouting shook the sky, some of the refugees lay on the ground, and some cried and rushed into the icy river, wanting to swim across the Yangtze River, but the low temperature close to zero degrees made their physical strength consume quickly, and they sank into the river without swimming a few meters, becoming one of the countless floating corpses.
"Get down, don't run around, the more chaotic you are, the faster you die!"
Guo Baochang led the soldiers to stand on the shore and tried their best to maintain order, but the ordinary refugees who went crazy could not control it at all, and countless people flocked to those boats, wooden rafts, and almost overturned the smaller boats.
"If you can't understand people, you will be killed!"
Guo Baochang roared angrily and ordered the soldiers to shoot, sweeping to death the refugees who were crazy and generally rushed to get on the boat, and the river was dyed red, so that the order of boarding the boat was barely controlled.
"Don't panic, take your time, you will have a chance to cross the river!"
At first, they risked crossing the river for the sake of the little yellow croaker or Yuan Datou that Su Yan had promised them, but now, they didn't know why they were still risking their lives to drive the boat across the river.
But they know it's certainly not for the money.
Da-da-da-da!
The Japanese warships rumbled over, and the naval guns and heavy machine guns were firing fiercely and bombarding the ships carrying refugees across the river.
Explosions erupted on the river, splashing shrapnel, whistling bullets like locusts, and many refugees on the boats had nowhere to hide.
A short stretch of the river has become hell.
"Stupid China pig!"
The gunner of a warship grinned and blasted out, one of the two ferries with the most people was accurately hit by a cannonball, and the refugees on board were swept away by the air like rags in a violent explosion, churning in the air, wailing, and a blur of flesh and blood in the cabin.
"Damn little devil, ****.Your grandma......"
The captain of the crew came out of the violently turbulent captain's room, saw the bloody flesh in the cabin, and screamed and cursed angrily like trapped beasts.
A single shell almost spared a boatload of hundreds of people.
"Captain, what now......"
Some crew members wiped their tears and said that this cannon did not cause much damage to the ferry, but the next shell would definitely sink the ferry, and they felt that their lives could be broken like the splashing waves at any time.
"Push the corpse into the river, go back, go back - carry a boatload of people across the river, and give them several small yellow croaker!" The captain roared, laughed and cried, and ran back to the cockpit to turn the ship's bow.
The crew began to laugh maniacally, pushing the corpses into the river, knowing that what they were doing now at the risk of dying at any moment was no longer for money.
I don't even know for what.
Da Da Da ......
"Damn it, damn it!"
Looking at the fighters, the battleships wantonly strafing, bombing the large and small ships in the river, and watching the people who finally got on the ship die in pieces, the crew of Wen Tianxiang's torpedo squadron was mad, and they wanted to eat those Japanese warships alive.
"Prepare for battle!"
The officers and men on board roared wildly, disembarking the refugees who had already boarded the boat, loaded with torpedoes, and rushed towards the Japanese warship with a roar.
The speed of torpedo boats is much higher than that of warships, but such small speedboats, in front of such a behemoth as warships, will not play a role at all, they are suitable for sneak attacks, not frontal combat with warships, but now, there is no choice.
"Captain, the torpedo boats of the China Army are coming!"
The observer on the warship, who had been observing the battle situation with binoculars, reported that he had a happy smile on his face, and the scenes on the river made him feel a sense of pleasure watching a war blockbuster.
"Hmph, a few small torpedo boats, think they can deal with our warships? It's just whimsical! ”
The captain of the warship sneered and said, "Blow them up for me!" ”
"Understood, sir!" The observer laughed, waved the order.
"Hit!"
With an order, several Japanese warships opened fire in unison, and the shells bombarded several warships like hailstones, setting off a storm on the river.
"Split up and go full throttle!"
The captain of Wen Tianxiang's torpedo squadron roared wildly, and several torpedo boats instantly separated, and rushed towards the warship, and quickly approached the warship amid the sound of explosions in the sky.
Da Da Da ......
The machine gunner on the boat and the machine gunner on the warship pulled the trigger almost at the same time, and the whistling bullets splashed towards each other like water, and the torpedo boat seemed to be racing against the bullets, and the deck of the warship was also splashed with large sparks.
Bang......
A violent explosion came from the side, and a torpedo boat was hit first by a machine gun, then by a shell, and flew into the air with a skyrocketing splash.
"Torpedo ready!"
There was no time to mourn the death of the brother, and the torpedo boats, braving a frenzied rain of bullets, ordered the speedboats to continue their approach to the warship, and another torpedo boat was blown away, but they did not even have a chance to look at it.
"Knock it out for me, don't let the torpedo boat get closer, damn it!" The observer roared, a fine cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Machine gun bullets splashed like water on the river, and a series of bullet holes were punched out of the torpedo boat, but they were still moving forward at high speed, like agile seagulls flying in stormy seas, quickly approaching the Japanese warship!
Ahh......hhh
The gunners and shooters on the warship were roaring frantically, desperately chasing and trying to lock on to the torpedo boat, but the speed of the torpedo boat was too high to lock at all, and they watched the other party pass through the blockade and quickly approach to the danger area!
"Torpedo, launch!"
The captain of the torpedo boat roared violently, and a hideous sneer appeared in his eyes: "Little devil, taste Lao Tzu's power!" ”
The captain roared wildly and gave the order to launch, and several torpedoes sank into the water, like whales speeding at high speed, surging towards the Japanese warship with gusts of waves.
"Damn, the Shina people fired a torpedo!" The observer screamed with a pale face.
"Right full rudder, tactical evasion!" The captain ordered.
"It's too late, the speed of the speedboat is too high, the distance to launch the torpedo is too close!" The observer's face turned pale, and he no longer had the same joy and smugness as he had been when he had watched a war blockbuster a few minutes ago.
