At the moment when Huo Xiaoshan and the others touched the enemy formation and started the shootout, the Japanese troops in the entire ferry woke up from their sleep. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's just that Huo Xiaoshan's action of bombing the artillery was really fast, and when the "boom" explosion sounded, the Japanese army remembered to shoot a flare.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers guarding the ferry were surprised to find that the more than ten large and small wooden boats had disappeared!

Only the big motorboats and the small dinghy were still floating lightly on the water.

The Japanese officer opened his mouth wide and was shocked for more than half a minute, he wiped his eyes and looked down at the river, the wooden boat was gone, really gone, not a single one!

When he tried to look again, the flare had burned out and became darker and darker until it fell into the water in the distance, and there was nothing to be seen in the sky and earth except for the red light of the bullet and the slightly fluctuating light of the water.

"Damn it! One more flare! The Japanese officer shouted.

But to his disappointment, no more flares were raised, because the roads were broken, the munitions had not been delivered in time, and the Japanese soldiers who fired the flares only had the only flare in their hands!

"Sail the boat and turn on the lights!" The Japanese officer yelled, and the sound of the "Tututu" motor rang out, and his men started the motorboat one after another.

"Go downstream, get those boats back!" The Japanese officer commanded loudly.

The boat is not a fish and it can't dive, the boat is not a grasshopper and it won't go ashore without legs, the boat is not a bird and it doesn't have wings and won't fly into the sky on its own.

Then if the wooden boats were to go upstream, they had to paddle, and although they were asleep in the motorboats, it was impossible not to alarm them with the sound of the wooden boats paddling.

Therefore, the Japanese commander instantly concluded that the boat could only float downstream along the river!

The two Japanese motorboats began to sail down the river as fast as they could, and the Japanese soldiers on board who were in charge of the searchlights struggled to pull the heads back and forth.

But I can only see the river water, soup soup, where is the shadow of a wooden boat in the vast reeds by the river?

The Japanese officer did not give up, he sat on the head boat and brandished a command knife and still ordered to search downstream, and half an hour passed, but there was still no sign of the ship.

He didn't know how long these wooden boats he was in charge of guarding had disappeared, an hour? Two hours or three hours? There is no other way but to chase quickly, only to search.

Otherwise, he will be court-martialed, and his rank is too low to enjoy the honor of committing suicide by disembowelment to the emperor.

"Over there, on the North Shore!" The ship's searchlight finally caught the shadow of a wooden boat faintly beyond the light of the searchlight.

The Japanese officer was overjoyed, and he shouted, "Speed up and surround it!" Although the airboats he was carrying could no longer go any faster, he had forgotten that he had ordered them to go as fast as they could when he set out.

The Japanese officers were so anxious that they saw the shadow of the boat floating on the water, but they completely ignored that their two motorboats had deviated from the course of the center of the river in order to chase the wooden boat.

After all, the Xinqiang River is just the Xinqiang River, neither the Yangtze River nor the Yellow River, and you can vaguely see the riverside outside the searchlight line, so how wide can it be?

In the sound of the "sudden" motor and the roar of the Japanese officer, the two motorboats finally caught up with the wooden boat.

There was obviously no one on the wooden boat, just floating downstream on the river, but the Japanese officers ignored the fact that there were vast reeds a few dozen meters away from their motorboat.

Just as the Japanese officer ordered the ship to stop and send people on the wooden boat for inspection, a dense stream of bullets suddenly came out of the reeds.

The searchlight could only illuminate the front, and it was dark when the light was down, but the bullet did not need to be deliberately shot by a Japanese soldier as a target.

Because the gun was a barrage, a barrage of two Mark heavy machine guns and five or six light machine guns.

The dense bullets were like a metal storm that formed in an instant on the Xinqiang River, and the searchlights on the two motorboats were shattered everywhere, returning the heavens and the earth from the light just now to the darkness.

Then there were the many holes in the steamboat, and then there were two "booms", and the bullets from the heavy machine guns got into the fuel tanks of the steamboat, causing an explosion, so that half of the flames and half of the river were no longer the noise of the invaders.

Two wooden boats rowed out of the reeds, and the faces of the soldiers of the direct battalion were reflected in the fire of the explosion and burning of the motorboat, and the person standing at the bow of one of the boats was Huo Xiaoshan.

Huo Xiaoshan's plan to steal the boat across the river with explosives and artillery was perfectly realized, but he didn't expect that the Japanese army would dare to catch up in the middle of the night by motorboat.

He didn't want to fight the Japanese in the dark, because now the south bank of the river was also Japanese.

The sound of gunfire and fire will attract the encirclement of the Japanese troops on the north and south banks, and it is not only the Japanese troops who will be affected by the destruction of roads, but also those who run behind enemy lines to fight guerrilla attacks such as the battalions directly under them.

However, after discovering the light of the searchlight of the Japanese motorboat, he found that the Japanese were chasing quickly, so he had to ambush the pursuers, otherwise the fleet would be discovered by the Japanese army.

But he ambushed but only left three wooden boats, one without a person as a bait to lure the Japanese motorboats closer to the reeds, and two wooden boats as ambushes.

The rest of the wooden boats were still rowed to the south bank led by Zheng Youjian, and they should have reached the south bank of the river by this time.

"Continue downstream, avoiding this section of the light." Huo Xiaoshan ordered.

Huo Xiaoshan didn't dare to cross the river like this, in that case, he would probably run headlong into the ambush of the Japanese army who rushed over after hearing the sound.

At this time, Zheng Youjian led a large army that had abandoned the ship and landed on the shore, and before getting on the ship, Zheng Youjian gave the order to scuttle the ship instead of blowing it up.

He also understands that with the current road conditions, the direct battalion must not expose the target, in his words, this time we are secretly taking advantage, as long as we blow up the Japanese army's munitions, artillery, supplies or something, it will be victory.

In the darkness, on the south bank of the river, Zheng Youjian led a large group of men and horses from his direct battalion to walk downstream in the mud.

The light of torches had already appeared in the distance, and it must have been sent by the Japanese army to check on the situation after receiving an attack on a motorboat on the river.

It's just that the torch didn't move fast, just as they were trying to avoid it at this time, and the muddy road made it equally difficult for both Chinese and Japanese troops.

At this time, in Zheng Youjian's troops, there was another person who was half-dragged in the middle by two soldiers from the directly subordinate battalion, and this person was the fellow of Kawaguchi Kanichi - Yukio Kojima.

When Yukio Kojima found that the sentry had been killed and thrown into the water after Shen Chong came back and got on the boat, he had time to shout loudly, but he didn't shout because of the ghost.

He couldn't figure out what kind of mentality he was in at that time, maybe he was really tired of this war!

But he thinks that he is right not to shout, his fellow named Kawaguchi Kanichi stuck the military stab in his throat but did not kill him, presumably the other party also remembered the friendship with his fellow countrymen.

At this time, Kojima Yukio did not know that his fellow countryman had not killed anyone so far, not a Chinese, let alone a Japanese.
