Chapter 560: Live
The Japanese motorboats came, and there was not just one, but three at once!
"Quickly waive the flag on the other side and call for help!" Huo Xiaoshan's shouting voice suppressed Zheng Youjian's resentment of scolding Shen Chong for "the old eagle's beak and the star has been retributed". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Now Huo Xiaoshan and they have no room to resist at all.
This was on a surging river, and regardless of the fact that the Japanese motorboats had incomparable advantages over wooden boats in terms of speed and stability of shooting, even the crooked machine guns on them were not something they could resist with box guns.
Now the only thing they can do is to run away and call for help.
All the people were paddling desperately to make the boat rush diagonally downstream.
Huo Xiaoshan: When they set off, in order to avoid the Japanese defense along the river, they set off further upstream of the defensive position of the 508th Regiment.
As for the reason, it is also simple, there is a defensive position of the national army at this end, so you don't need to ask to know that the opposite bank is naturally the position of the Japanese army.
They did not force the crossing but to collect intelligence, so naturally they needed to avoid the Japanese army.
Therefore, now they rushed diagonally down on the return journey, but they could just rush to the front of the defensive position of the 508th Regiment, so that they could be supported by the fire of the national army on the shore.
A veteran stood at the bow of the ship desperately waving the flag, and the Japanese motorboat coming down the river was already getting closer and closer to the firing range.
But the veteran no longer cared about his own safety, he subconsciously thought that he could die, but the brothers on the ship and their own leaders had to live!
"Don't fight, we won't be able to rush to the other side!" Huo Xiaoshan shouted.
The Laodao River is not the Yangtze River and is not very wide, but the problem is that their boat is now in the diagonal upstream of the 508th Regiment, taking an oblique line, and there is no position of the national army on the river bank opposite them.
But the veteran turned a deaf ear to Huo Xiaoshan's order, and still kept waving the two flags in his hand.
Then, the machine gun on the first Japanese airboat "clicked", and Huo Xiaoshan and all of them saw that the veteran soldier didn't know how many bullets had been hit in his body at this moment.
The old soldier dropped the bow of the boat, and the two signal flags were blown by the wind on the river, and they fell into the river with them.
In an instant, the hearts of the people on the ship sank.
"Prepare to abandon ship!" Huo Xiaoshan ordered loudly.
At this time, Huo Xiaoshan had nothing to do, he couldn't help but think about the time when he fled from Nanjing to Chuxian, that time he pretended to be a floating corpse on the river to deceive the Japanese army, and only then blew up a Japanese motorboat to let everyone escape.
But this time I didn't have a chance to pretend to be a floating corpse, because my position was downstream of the Japanese motorboat, and of course I could lie flat on the water and pretend to be dead, but it was estimated that the Japanese army would use machine guns to sweep the people floating on the river first and then lean over.
At this time, Huo Xiaoshan and the wooden boat they were riding on the opposite bank of the 508th Regiment were already in a commotion.
The reason for the noise was naturally because they had already seen the flag that Huo Xiaoshan had put up on their boat, and reported the content of the flag to the top.
The content of the flag displayed by the veteran at the cost of his own life was: Our department, the battalion directly under the Ninth Theater Command, has important Japanese intelligence, and hopes that friendly troops will provide fire support as soon as possible!
Whether to give Huo Xiaoshan's stubborn fire support or not was a matter for the superiors, but at this time, they in the trenches could not help.
Because Huo Xiaoshan's wooden boat was not within the range of their guns at this time, and although the heavy machine guns could reach it, it was blocked by a small mountain.
It's no wonder that the people of the 508th Regiment were originally deployed at the opposite bank.
But the reason why the soldiers of the 50th Regiment were noisy at this time was: small! You've begged us too!
Naturally, there were people who understood the flag language among the soldiers of the 508th Regiment, and as soon as they said the content of the flag, all the soldiers of the 508th Regiment who were present at that time blew up the battalion, and all kinds of strange words followed.
"Sample, you also have times when you beg us!"
"The last two times I saw your rake, and let the bird rake fall into my mouth?"
"One by one, you go to the other side of the river to fight devils! Then why was he chased back by the devil like a mouse? ”
……
The 508th Regiment had become accustomed to fighting with the battalion under its command, but their noise finally stopped because they saw from a distance that the veteran who was playing the flag had been shot and fell into the river.
For a moment, there was silence on the battlefield, and all the discordant sounds caused by the bickering were gone.
No matter how much you quarrel, it's also your own family's business, but the brothers in your own family were machine-gunned into the water by devils!
Just when there was silence on the position of the 508th Regiment, just when Huo Xiaoshan and the others were about to abandon the ship for the last tragic fight, they heard a scream of "sizzle" from the sky behind the 508th Regiment!
"It's a mortar!" The soldiers of the 508th Regiment suddenly became noisy again, and when they turned their heads, they saw a column of water burst a few meters in front of the first Japanese motorboat.
"Harm, I didn't hit!" The soldiers of the 508th Regiment sighed in unison.
"It's a test launch!" Immediately a soldier said.
The Japanese troops on the motorboat were obviously also taken aback by this sudden shot, but how could they fail when the target was in front?
The two motorboats behind the Japanese army have already turned their rudder to avoid the first motorboat, and there is only a wooden boat struggling in front of them, and the shooting boundary has appeared!
The three crooked machine guns on the three motorboats rained down on the wooden boat in the blink of an eye, and the sawdust flew and was beaten into a sieve in a matter of minutes.
There was no longer any noise on the defensive position of the 508th Regiment, and there was a deathly silence for a while, would the elite of the legendary heroic army be killed by devils like this? Some of the soldiers had closed their eyes.
And at this moment, the soldiers of the 508th Regiment could hear the continuous screaming of the sky behind them, and the test firing had passed, so naturally the salvo of the firing Zhuyuan was calibrated.
It's just that it seems too late......
A Japanese motorboat was hit by a mortar shell, and the black flames rose into the air at the flash of fire, and the motorboat immediately lost its combat effectiveness, and the soldiers of the 508th Regiment on the shore could see with the naked eye that a devil jumped from the motorboat into the river.
The other two motorboats turned around and ran away, but just as they turned the corner, another motorboat was hit by mortar.
The Japanese soldiers who were still alive on the boat had no other way but to jump overboard, and in a moment they jumped into the water like dumplings.
The soldiers of the 508th Regiment couldn't help it, and one of the soldiers tried to shoot there, but they didn't need to look at everyone to know that it couldn't hit, and it was outside the effective range!
The battle seemed to be over here, but at that moment an officer with a telescope suddenly shouted in surprise: "They are still alive!" They just abandoned ship and jumped overboard! ”
They? Who? Of course, the 'they' that my own people are talking about will not be the Japanese army, but the guys in the battalion who are fighting with themselves!
"Where? Where is it? The soldiers asked anxiously, and craned their necks to look.
It's just that after all, the position is too far away from the place of the wooden boat, and I can only see the sparkling waves in the river, but I can only faintly see some faint black spots, but they seem to be moving very slowly upstream.
"They must be going to kill those devils who have fallen into the water!" As a result, the national army officer with a telescope in his hand seemed to become the kind of radio narrator of later generations, and began to tell everything he could see now.
"Damn, these boys swim really fast! Add a little more fuel and you're catching up! The officer shouted.
"Catch up with one, two, they are better than the devils who fell into the water, they all catch up, the devils can't run away, hahaha!" The officer laughed.
"The one who went into the water with the devil can't see it! Can you kill the devil in the end? Aha! The kid came out, but the devil didn't come up, he killed the devil! That's not right! This kid has already killed three devils in the water, who is this kid, it's too powerful! The officer praised.
The soldiers of the 508th Regiment in the position cheered and sighed as the officer explained, really like those fans in later generations who could not see the live broadcast with pictures but were addicted to the ball but listened to the live broadcast on the radio with extreme devotion.
At this time, none of the soldiers of the 508th Regiment noticed that at this moment, the commander of their regiment, Wu Chengxian, quietly entered the trench with two guards.
It was Wu Chengxian who, after receiving the following report, immediately ordered to use mortars to knock out the Japanese motorboat to rescue the battalion detachment directly under him.
