Chapter 130: Outwitting the Twin Gunboats
Shen Shenjun was about to say something more, when a long cry of water birds came from the river in front of him, which should be an emergency signal from the water barracks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Hearing the call of this water bird, Zhu Ran sent a message to remind everyone; "Attention, the devil's gunboat is almost here." She turned to Lu Caiting and Shen Shenjun again; "Captain, Captain Shen, we are about to go into the water, and after the devil's gunboat is entangled in the propeller by our barrage net, it will stop, and the machine gunner at the top of the gunboat will also look behind the cabin, that is the best time, you will order the snipers to destroy them." After speaking, he led Chi Lingchong, Liu Sanmei, and Rong Zhu'er and a group of soldiers to disappear into the reeds.
The mist had completely dispersed, and the waters of Horseshoe Bay were particularly wide, and there was a roar on the wide water, and two Japanese gunboat boats drove along the river in the direction of Shuangji Town, and the gunboat boat was extremely fast, and after passing through, the water surface was stirred up and tumbling to the shore.
Something burned on the surface of the river at some point, and the smoke drifted straight to the surface of the river, and the two gunboat boats noticed the burning thing, slowed down, and slowly approached the place where the thing was burning.
Suddenly, the two gunboat boats were spinning on the surface of the river, and they couldn't drive away, as if the propeller behind the stern was entangled by something, the gunboat boat stopped, and a Japanese soldier came out of the cabin and picked up a penny rod with an iron hook on the stern side of the boat and stabbed it straight down to the propeller part under the stern, trying to see what was entanglement with the propeller, and suddenly stretched out a hand on the water surface to grab his penny rod and dragged it down, and the Japanese soldier planted it into the water with a 'coo' sound, and there was no sound again.
A Japanese soldier came out of the cabin and cursed, came to the side of the ship behind the stern, and also picked up a penny rod and stabbed it straight down to the propeller part under the stern, and stretched out a hand on the water again to grab the draft rod and drag it down, and the Japanese soldier also planted into the water with a 'coo' sound, and there was no sound again.
There were two heavy machine guns on the top of the gunboat, and there were four heavy gunners, and when the boat stopped, they stuck their heads out to the back of the boat to watch, but when they saw that both of their companions were inexplicably planted in the water, they were very surprised, and they couldn't help but concentrate again and stretch their heads to see what was going on.
The snipers of the special operations team in the reeds and the water barracks fired almost at the same time, the sniper rifles were silenced, there was no sound, there was no flame, what happened to the two gunboat ships was the same, the sailors on both gunboat ships were inexplicably planted in the water, and the machine gunners on the top also collapsed next to the machine guns.
The men on the water at the bow of the gunboat 'whoosh' out of the water, leaped onto the side of the ship, and ran straight to the gun mount in the center of the bow, and some people jumped from the water on both sides of the wing, and ran to the wheelhouse and cabin at the top of the bow.
After a while, I saw Zhu Ran and Chi Lingchong standing on the top of the two gunboat boats, waving to the reeds on the riverbank, indicating that the gunboat boat had been taken down by them, and there were soldiers from the naval camp on the side of the boat throwing the corpses of devils into the river.
Lu Caiting and Shen Shenjun were almost dumbfounded in the reeds on the shore, if they were very satisfied with the tasks completed by their special combat team, then compared to what they were looking for, the swift movements and assassination ability of the water military camp were not inferior to their special combat team, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and their hearts suddenly felt solemn respect.
After they got on the boat, some people went to the cabin, some people went to the wheelhouse, and the soldiers of the water camp on the water had already taken off the barrage fishing net that was entwined with the propeller pulp, and they were waving to the people on the boat.
After a while, the gunboat heard the roar of its engine, and the gunboat swayed to the left and right, and finally went straight forward, annihilating in the reeds.
Lu Caiting, Shen Shenjun and the people of the special combat team all followed the soldiers of the naval camp to evacuate to the shore and wait for Zhu Ran, and Chi Lingchong returned after they hid the gunboat boat.
didn't wait long, a few willow leaf light boats appeared on the river, and they arrived at the shore in the blink of an eye, Zhu Ran, Chi Lingchong They had already hidden the gunboat boat, and returned with the soldiers of the water camp and the special combat team, the boat docked on the shore, Zhu Ran, Chi Lingchong and they all went ashore.
Lu Caiting and Shen Shenjun stepped forward, excitedly shook the hands of Zhu Ran and Chi Lingchong, and congratulated; "Two battalion commanders and company commanders, congratulations on your victorious start and triumphant return! You have done a good job in this battle, and we will definitely go back to the political commissar and the chief of staff to ask for credit for you. ā
Zhu Ran only smiled silently, casually removing the shark tooth hook from her arm, but Chi Lingchong teased excitedly while taking the shark tooth hook; "Captain, Captain Shen, our shark tooth hook hits the soft position of the devil's throat, and the sound can't come out."
The other water battalion warriors also teased; "Hey! The devil soldier fell into the water, and he was a sheep to be slaughtered, and he was slaughtered wherever he wanted. ā
Several members of the special combat team also stepped forward and reported excitedly; "Captain, Captain Shen, we have successfully completed the task, we can finally get rid of this behemoth, next time we will drive this gunboat to fight devils, a few of us will drive it."
Lu Caiting also teased; "It seems that a few of you are temporarily clinging to each other, and the branches are not inferior to those devil soldiers, and these two gunboat ships can only be contracted to a few of you, but you still have to find a way to teach the brothers of the water barracks, so that the water barracks will be more convenient to operate."
One of the special operators immediately replied; "The captain is right, let's leave a few people here and teach them that the people in the naval camp can operate the gunboats and then go back to the camp in the mountains."
Zhu Ran turned his head and looked at the river quietly, there was a water on the river, and the soldiers of the military camp were rowing out a dilapidated wooden boat, the wooden boat was full of branches and artemisia grass, and the soldiers poured some tung oil on the branches and artemisia grass, and then lit it, and in an instant, the fire was burning, the smoke was billowing, and the soldiers returned to the shore in the willow leaf light boat.
Zhu Ran looked at the burning wooden boat and said to Lu Caiting; "Captain, this billowing smoke will definitely alarm the devils in Shuangji Town, they will immediately send a team to search, my cousin and my sister and their ambushed men and horses will beat them up again, they will definitely think that it is the sloppy Susi detachment, or your independent column of General Ao attacked and blew up their gunboat boats, they would never have dreamed that there is such a water military camp as ours here."
Zhu Pengsheng stepped forward and said; "Let's go, let's go back and have a drink or two, celebrate, and then organize the masses to evacuate to the back mountain, only a few people will be here to observe, the devil's brigade will definitely come here to search, if they can't see the people, they will be angry and will burn the house."
All the people rushed back to the Zhu family compound, and the courtyard had already prepared a banquet, and the soldiers of the water camp warmly invited the people of the special combat team to sit down and drink.
In this battle, the water battalion was simply neat, intercepting the devil's two gunboats without a single shot, and also accumulating artillery fire for the future attack on Shuangji Town, Lu Caiting didn't say how happy he was, he really wanted to drink, he kept saluting the chief and deputy battalion commander and company commander of the water barracks, and everyone was drinking happily.
When the wine was drunk heartily, Shen Shenjun suddenly said; "Captain, this wine can't be drunk anymore, we should go back to our lives, and see how they are doing in the first and fifth battalions?"
Lu Caiting was holding a wine bowl, and when he heard this, he put down the wine bowl and shook his hand; "Captain Shen rest assured, the strength of the first battalion and the fifth battalion is that it is not a problem to eliminate the devils in Shuangji Town on the bank of the Yuma River, they naturally know that they will go back after beating the devils in Shuangji Town, and after the devils in Shuangji Town are beaten, they will not dare to search again." After speaking, he thought about it, and said; "Captain Shen is right, this wine can't be drunk anymore, and after drinking it back, it won't be good to explain it to the political commissar and instructor, and they will severely criticize me for being greedy."
Lu Caiting and Shen Shenjun both stood up and said goodbye, they left the few special combat team soldiers who could operate the gunboat here, and asked them to teach the soldiers of the naval camp to operate the gunboat before returning to the mountain camp, Zhu Ran, Zhu Pengsheng, and Chi Lingchong did not stay, only sent the two of them and the people of the special combat team to the town and waved goodbye, and then they also organized the masses to bring food and valuables, and drove the livestock to hide in the back mountain.
Lu Caiting and Shen Shenjun led the people of the special combat team to return to the camp of Jiangjun Ao with joy, and they wanted to tell the political commissar and chief of staff the good news of the capture of the devil's gunboat as soon as possible.
In the Japanese puppet army artillery tower stronghold in Shuangji Town, a Japanese soldier hurriedly ran into the office of the squad leader Lingmu and reported that billowing smoke was found on the surface of the Yuma River, whether it was something wrong with the gunboat that went out to patrol.
Lingmu was startled, and immediately followed the soldiers to the top of the turret, looked with a telescope, and sure enough, he saw a thick billowing smoke on the river in the distance, judging from the concentration of the smoke, it seemed to be emitted by the burning of large ships, only large ships would have such a strong smoke, he seemed to realize something, and immediately shouted at the soldiers around him; "Quick, sound the alarm, assemble urgently!"
'Woo-' The alarm suddenly sounded in the sky above the stronghold of the turret, all the Japanese soldiers and soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army stood on the playground in the stronghold with their guns, Lingmu came to the center of the playground with a menacing attitude, and the company commander of the Imperial Allied Army, Lai Changgui, hurriedly greeted him and asked carefully; "Taijun, what's going on?"
Reiki glanced at him and replied quietly; "Laisang, it seems that something happened to our gunboat boat on the Yuma River, take your people to follow me to take a look." After speaking, he shouted orders to the Japanese soldiers and the soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army standing on the playground; "Leave a platoon of the Imperial Alliance Army to guard the stronghold of the turret, and the rest of the people will follow me to the bank of the Yuma River."
Lingmu and Lai Changgui led the Japanese puppet soldiers in a two-line column, ran out of the fortress stronghold, and quickly rushed to the bank of the Yuma River.
After running for a distance, you can see the smoke billowing on the surface of the Mima River, which must be the location of the accident, and Reiki keeps urging the soldiers to speed up their pace.
It was summer, the sun was in the sky, the water level on the river was very high, the reeds on the bank were dense and vigorous, and even the woods on the bank were luxuriant, rich and covering the sky, the soldiers of the Japanese army and the Imperial Alliance Army had run sweating profusely, panting, Lai Changgui kept begging Lingmu Road; "Taijun, I really can't run anymore, stop and rest for a while."
Reiki replied decisively as she ran; "No! Lai Sang has already seen the location of the incident in front of him, work harder, and will be there soon. ā
Suddenly, gunshots rang out in the woods on the shore, and a Japanese soldier fell to the ground in response to the gunshot, Reiki immediately waved his hand to signal the team to stop, and the soldiers of the Japanese army and the Imperial Allied Army also stopped, and all of them squatted down, raised their guns and watched the woods on the shore vigilantly.
In an instant, dense gunshots rang out in the thick woods, and grenades were also thrown out, the team of the Japanese army and the Imperial Allied Army was already out of breath, and suddenly encountered an ambush at this time, and suddenly panicked, Lingmu immediately pulled out the command knife, screamed, and calmly commanded the soldiers to fight back, the quality of the Japanese soldiers was indeed very good, following the commander's command, immediately lying on the ground, light and heavy machine guns immediately formed a fire network, counterattacking in the woods, and the rest of the soldiers also lay down and raised their guns to shoot back, The grenades were also thrown into the woods, and the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army saw that the Japanese soldiers had stabilized their positions, and they also raised their guns to return fire.
As soon as the two sides fought, a confrontation situation was immediately formed, but after only a moment of confrontation, the firepower in the woods was immediately dispersed, and the light and heavy machine guns intensively spit out tongues of fire, and the fire was very fierce, accompanied by bursts of grenades flying out, suppressing the Japanese army and the Imperial Allied Army on the slope of the lawn, and it was difficult to raise their heads, Lai Changgui quietly approached Lingmu and reminded; "Taijun, no! I can already see clearly that the New Fourth Army is in the woods, their firepower is too fierce, we have already suffered heavy casualties, and if we continue like this, I am afraid that none of us will be able to leave. ā
Lingmu naturally knew the consequences, the last time he suffered a loss on the Mianmeng Highway in the Shanmeng Mountain, he had been apprehensive, he decisively ordered loudly; "All the soldiers threw all the grenades on their bodies and prepared to retreat."
The Japanese army, the soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army, in accordance with his orders, immediately threw the grenades and grenades on their bodies into the woods, borrowed the grenades, the grenades exploded violently and the billowing smoke, they retreated back one after another, and ran desperately, the Japanese soldiers were equipped with grenades, and the soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army were equipped with only a few grenades, most of them were grenades, and the grenades were not as explosive as the grenades, nor as light as the grenades.
The explosion passed, the smoke disappeared, and some soldiers of the New Fourth Army came out of the woods, which were the first and fifth battalions of the General Ao Independent Column to set up an ambush here to prevent the Japanese puppet army in Shuangji Town from reinforcing Horseshoe Bay, Zhu Meng also came out of the woods, looked at the fleeing Japanese puppet army, and hated Zhu Ke and Niu Shuigen who came out; "It's cheap for these little devils and two dogs, if it weren't for the order of the chief of staff, none of these little devils and two dogs would have been able to escape."
