When the people of the small boat were about five or six meters away from the big boat, they threw their claws at the boat. With the help of the people on board, the boat was quickly secured.

Some boats were dodging the reef to rescue people on the water, and a few small boats were paddling down to the cry for help, trying to rescue as much as possible...... It's just that, in this surprise, no one cares that when each small boat passes by the big boat, more or less it throws bundles of bamboo into the boat, and there are more than a dozen men on the side of each big boat who are climbing along the rope to the boat. Even if you notice it, you won't think much about it for the time being, because these people are using the excuse of 'going to the ship to check if there are still survivors', anyway, they can push Hu Xingmin afterwards.

As for throwing bamboo knots into the boat, it was naturally considered a good thing: if there were real survivors, it would be good to have an extra bundle of bamboo to defend themselves - the small boat had a limited load.

At this point, the two big ships that have lost their crews are the world of the Wang family. Now all that's left is a race against time: all the boxes must be bundled up before the ship sinks completely.

The small boats that are rescuing people are far away from the big boats under the pretext that they will avoid being involved when they sink under the water, and they hurry to the shore after rescuing one or two.

And in the cabin of each boat, thanks to the timely arrival of more than a dozen people, the manpower is quite sufficient.

Everyone tied the box with a cowhide band, tied it with a rope that was brought up, trapped the other end in the groove of the bamboo knot, and then pulled the rope and lowered it under the water.

The three cannons were what Wang Shihua had designated to get his hands on, so everyone immediately divided half of their hands and ventured together to push the three cannons out of the hatch and wait...... Although it is dozens of meters from the shore, and the sky is dark, the people on the shore cannot see it, and other things can be hoisted into the water first, because the sound of the water crashing is enough to drown out its sound, but if something like a cannon is pushed down, the sound of falling into the water is enough to alarm the people on the shore. Therefore, the three cannons had to wait for the water to reach the ship's hold before they could be propelled into the water.

More than ten minutes later, when the cabin was already flooded, everything else was almost the same, everyone hurriedly pushed the three cannons into the water, and then, everyone said that the more than ten boxes that were deliberately left behind were carried and hurriedly put on the small boat that had been prepared on the side.

Hurry aboard the boat, picking up a bundle of bamboo and urging you to leave quickly - once the cabin is flooded, the sinking speed will be accelerated, and the boat will easily be swept into the whirlpool force brought up by it as it sinks.

However, the unexpected happened.

There is an important reason why Peng Ziqing convinced the water bandits in the whole village: he took the lead in the war, but when he retreated, he took the initiative to be behind.

No, when he was the last to get on the last small boat, he didn't expect that there was a muffled sound in the big boat behind him, which obviously hit the reef, and the sinking speed accelerated sharply, and the small boat he was riding rolled inward in an instant.

There were a total of four people on the boat, and the other three were rowing forward desperately, Peng Ziqing, who was standing at the stern, turned his head and swept his eyes, and immediately grabbed a bundle of bamboos with a great change in expression, and shouted to the other **: "Don't row, take a deep breath, hold the bamboo tightly, don't let go, jump ship!" ”

Seeing Peng Ziqing jumping ship, the others hurriedly followed suit.

I have to admire Peng Ziqing's experience and courage in the face of danger, the four of them were swept into the whirlpool, and instantly sank to the bottom of the water along the whirlpool, squeezed by the strong hydraulic force, and almost fainted, but because they subconsciously hugged a bundle of bamboos, they used the strong buoyancy of the bundle of bamboos to use the strong buoyancy of the bundle of bamboos, and were not pressed to the bottom of the water, but quickly floated up while flowing down along the current, and escaped with their lives...... Without the bundle of bamboos in their hands, even if they can keep their minds clear, even if they are not pressed to the bottom of the water, they will definitely die of lack of oxygen in the process of floating, and eventually they will die in the belly of the fish because they cannot rise to the surface of the water. This shows the importance of experience.

The people who came to the shore, unable to count the number of people for a while, and unable to see what was happening in the center of the river, could only walk to the eight large boats waiting upstream on the screw beach as previously explained.

Since the return of the boat, everyone's hearts have risen to their throats: Hu Xingmin is worried about those weapons, and Uncle Da is more worried: that is, he is worried about whether things are going well, and he is more worried about the safety of the people he sent.

When the first small boat approached the side of the big boat, both of them relaxed a little: if they could come back, the rest should not be a big problem.

When the boats came back one after another, the two of them were angry again: Hu Xingmin's anger was because although some weapons and ammunition were saved, they were all light weapons, and there were only two light machine guns, not to mention heavy machine guns and artillery...... This is thanks to Peng Ziqing's kindness, and he feels that if he only gives a rifle, he won't even save a light machine gun, which is a bit unreasonable. Besides, today's Wang family has no shortage of these fast guns.

The reason for Uncle Da's anger was that only nineteen small boats came back, and one was never found.

While Hu Xingmin was inspecting the weapon, Uncle Da had a calm face and asked the last one to come back: "Is there another one?" ”

"When we left, the small boat was still waiting by the big boat."

"Blow the horn and tell them to hurry."

"Toot ~! Honk! ”

Two horns, one long and one short, sounded immediately, but after a while, there was no echo.

Uncle Da's face turned a little blue, and he roared sharply: "Quickly send two small boats to take a look." ”

"Owner, I think it's better to wait, right?" This euphemistically reminded Uncle Da: There is no need to take any more risks.

When Uncle Da heard this, he thought about it, nodded and said, "Send two small boats over to have a look, but don't approach the middle of Screw Beach, if you don't find it, come back." ”

The risk factor is reduced, and it is natural to act immediately.

At this time, after Hu Xingmin finished the inspection, he was furious: I spent tens of thousands of oceans, not to mention that you only rescued one or two hundred spears for me, even if you rescued all the spears, they are not as important as those heavy machine guns and cannons - what did you do?

"Leader Li, you ...... You're just going to salvage these bullets for me? ”

Hu Xingmin's face turned blue, but Uncle Da turned pale, and his anger was no less than him.

Of course, Uncle Da knew what was going on, but because he knew, he had to be even angrier than him. Suddenly, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he roared: "The surname is Hu, didn't you fucking say that the ship was loaded with important government supplies?" How did it turn into munitions? ”

This loss made Hu Xingmin speechless: Who made him dare not reveal that he was a weapon in advance?

After holding back for a while, he fought back indignantly: "Aren't weapons important materials for the government?" ”

This is a rhetoric: weapons are loved by everyone, and they do sound like important materials for the government, but the problem is that everyone knows that without the tacit consent of local powerful people, you don't even want to ship weapons out, and even if others don't have the strength to eat them, they will definitely do you harm. And according to the unwritten rules at that time: whoever grabs it will belong to whom, how can it be that people play with the dark?

"Really? Then why didn't you talk about it beforehand? ”

Does he dare to speak? Speaking of which, I'm afraid that before I can set off, I will be killed and seized by Uncle Da on the spot in Flying Shark Village.

"Government secrets, no comment!"

Uncle Da was angered by his official words and laughed, and said: "I don't know what bullshit secrets, I know that the weapons shipped this time are all shipped to my Baojing group, since they are on the same boat, they must be put together." ”

As he spoke, he shouted, "Come on! Put all the weapons of our Pacification Regiment in the cabin! ”

On the big boat where Uncle Da was, more than 30 men immediately ran out, and everyone charged over with guns, and surrounded each other in an instant. There are only a dozen people on Hu Xingmin's side, although everyone is angry and blocking in front of the box, but there are only a few short guns, and some are still empty-handed, and their momentum is naturally not as good as that of people. Moreover, as soon as the people on the big boat next to them saw this action, although many people did not know that there was this operation, when they saw this scene, they would hesitate, and immediately scolded, and jumped over one after another, so that the number of people on this boat soon reached hundreds.

"Who dare?" Hu Xingmin angrily pointed at Uncle Da and roared.

Uncle Da looked at him disdainfully and sneered, "Do you think I dare?" ”

As he spoke, Uncle Da waved his hand and shouted, "Give me all the guns of these vicious bastards who treated us as monkeys." Whoever dares to resist will be killed. ”

"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison, and then, they took a step forward in unison, shouting in unison: "Surrender the gun and don't kill!" ”

It was really amazing, so that more than a dozen people looked at each other, all showing a bit of fear, and some people couldn't even help the fear in their hearts and took a step back, seeing their companions looking at them with contempt, they could only stand back in place.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Seeing that the two sides were about to have a fire, the officer who asked Uncle Da to save people first hurriedly stood between Hu Xingmin and Uncle Da, who were looking at each other angrily, and acted as a mediator: "Lord Hu, Chief Li, everyone is friends, and now they are in the same boat, which is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes...... Everything is easy to discuss, easy to discuss~! ”

If a subordinate interjects once in front of the chiefs, it can be understood as helping his own superiors to solve the difficulties, but if he interjects twice, it can only mean one thing: this person is not Hu Xingmin's subordinate, at least not his direct subordinate, to a certain extent, Hu Xingmin can not be given face...... When an official reaches a certain level, no matter how straightforward a person is, he will have some eyesight, and he understands the distance between the chief and his subordinates, and he will never and dare not interject in front of the chief.

Seeing that this person was always interjecting, Uncle Da became interested in his true identity and asked, "Which one are you?" ”

The man subconsciously wanted to salute the army, but suddenly remembered that he was facing a water bandit leader and a figure in the rivers and lakes, so he stopped abruptly. He hugged his fist at Uncle Da and smiled: "In Xiahua, I am currently serving as the deputy battalion commander of the guard battalion directly under the provincial independent division. ”

Uncle Da was originally a little hostile to their gang, and when he heard that the other party was sent from the province and his surname was Fang, he immediately became hostile to him at home: You must have been sent by the county elder Fang to help him, and you are a potential rival of my Wang family.

"What rank are you?"

"Just promoted to major."

Uncle Da wanted to use his rank to suppress him, but when he heard that he was actually at the same level as himself, he immediately lost interest, but he still asked very old-fashionedly: "Just promoted?" ”

I don't know if this guy is intentional or unintentional, but he actually nodded with a smile to confirm: "I was promoted when I came." ”

Uncle Da immediately attached importance to him and the purpose of his trip......
