The devils thought it was dark. Hiding on the other side of the river, our army's artillery will be helpless against them.

In these days, there was no infrared night vision aiming, and after dark, artillery was really difficult to fight. Is this just the river? Or do you have to risk crossing the river, but you have to endure the wanton attack of these two iron gunboats? Gao Quan hesitated.

Just when Gao Quan couldn't make up his mind, the sound of gunfire on the other side suddenly rang out. The fire on the river is flashing, the guns are loud, and there are helpers on the opposite side! Seeing this scene, Gao Quan immediately ordered: The troops boarded the boat and crossed the river!

The position of the former puppet army on the other side of the Yangtze River. Liu Qi led his scouts in the position, eagerly waiting for his large army to cross the river. Looking at the large number of fishing boats on the opposite shore with their own eyes, the soldiers in the position were also in high spirits. Who knows, when the big guys were happy, a few disappointing iron guys came over, and the devil's ironclad gunboat came.

Devil gunboats are rampant on the river, but the soldiers on this side of the river are in a hurry. The army can't cross the river, what are they doing in this position? Or Liu Qi has an idea, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, let the soldiers carry out the cannons in the puppet army's position first. There is a Type 92 infantry gun, a few grenadiers, and a few heavy machine guns in the position of the puppet army, which can be regarded as complete firepower.

The fighters were not very skilled in handling infantry guns, but they were more experienced in grenadiers and heavy machine guns. These two weapons, against the iron gunboat, Liu Qi doesn't know if it can work, the Yangtze River is so wide, the devil iron boat is too far away, with these grenadiers, whether it can be hit accurately, Battalion Commander Liu really doesn't know in his heart. Just when he didn't know whether to shoot a few shots to try his hand, there was movement on the other side, this movement, or a big movement!

More than a dozen heavy artillery guns roared together, and in an instant, they sank two devils' small steamers, and the remaining two saw that the situation was not good, and they actually leaned over to their side! This is really a charity act in the snow! The style of the devils is too high! Camp Commander Liu was a little embarrassed.

Seeing that the distance was almost up, Liu Qi waved his hand, "Fight!" Suddenly, in the positions on the south bank of the Yangtze River, artillery shells were fired, and heavy machine guns began to roar.

The devils said that they couldn't imagine that the puppet army positions behind them would fire at them. When the guns behind him rang out, I tried to dodge again, but it was too late. Liu Qi and his scouts are not professional artillerymen, although those cannon grenadiers can be hit, they are really not very good on the head, the cannonballs are tom, the water column is stirred up all over the sky, but the two small steamers of the devil are still floating on the river.

The scouts are not very good, the accuracy of the heavy machine gun, there is nothing to say. Firing the cannon is just to cause a little panic to the devils, and the heavy machine gun is the big killer that really causes damage to the devils.

Although the iron-hulled steamer was not so easily sunk by a few heavy machine guns, the devil's steamer was not a submarine, and the devils still had to work on the deck. Heavy machine guns do not shoot armor-piercing bullets, and they cannot penetrate the iron hull, but the rain of bullets composed of huge bullets is still not a big problem to sweep the deck.

Heavy machine gun bullets more than two inches long, like a hurricane, blew across the deck of the small steamer. The devils on the deck, like paper, were easily torn to shreds. "Poof! Poop! Poop! The sound of rain, like rain, resounded on the iron hull of the little steamer, and within two minutes, the decks of the two little steamers were completely devoid of the devils who could still stand upright.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the devil hiding in the cockpit drove the seriously injured small steamer and fled into the distance like crazy. God knows, if they are beaten down like this, how long will their little steamer be able to hold up on the river!

The number of officers and men of the 500 division was too large, and the number of fishing boats on the river seemed to be quite large, but in fact there were not even 100 of them, and it was impossible to transport all the people across the river at one time, and they could only be transported to the opposite bank in batches and regiments. The boats are all veterans who have been fishing and ferrying on the river for many years, and although the sky is dark, it is difficult to stop these experienced drivers. Without the troubles of the devil's little steamer, just to deal with the ordinary wind on the Yangtze River, these fishermen who have been begging for a living on the river since childhood, driving their own boats, shuttle between the rivers lightly, as if walking in their own yards. It didn't take long for us to reach the other side.

Zhang Erxiao and Chang Zhankui's independent regiment was the first to go ashore. Because Gao Quan was promoted to lieutenant general, and the independent brigade was filed with the Ministry of National Defense, it became the official establishment of the national army, and the current brigade commander Zhang also hung the collar badge of a major general on his collar. In the past, his rank of colonel was sealed by Gao Quan himself, and it was not on the archives of the Ministry of National Defense, so there was always a little bit of unjustification.

Today's Zhang Erxiao can be regarded as a salted fish turning over, not only successfully turning positive, but also smoothly becoming a general, which he couldn't even think of before. As soon as he hung up the rank of general, Zhang Erxiao wanted to show his face even more, originally he didn't have to see the first ferry crossing as a brigade commander, but Brigade Commander Zhang still wanted this color. As the first brigade commander and general of the 500th Division to cross the river, when will it be an honor to say it, isn't it?

When Battalion Commander Liu went to the riverside to greet him, what he saw was Zhang Da Brigade with a shining rank of major general on his collar, dressed in a neat military uniform.

Although he didn't think so, Liu Qi still ran forward, put his legs together, raised his hand and saluted, "Welcome Brigade Commander Zhang across the river!" ”

"Battalion Commander Liu has worked hard." Zhang Erxiao was like a leader inspecting, first solemnly returned a salute, and then came over to shake hands with Liu Qi and greet him, and then changed his words, showing his tough attitude, "The brothers in the reconnaissance battalion have worked hard, Battalion Commander Liu asked your soldiers to withdraw from the position, and this position will be defended by my independent brigade." After that, without waiting for Liu Qi to agree, he turned around and gave his regiment commander an order: "Commander Chang, you immediately lead the troops and take over the position of Battalion Commander Liu." ”

For this person who was so eager to seize the position, although Liu Qi was a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't care. His soldiers are all scouts, and everyone's life is very precious, and it was originally an expedient measure to stay here and hold the position, but now that he has a successor, it is the best. Therefore, for Zhang Erxiao's tough, or impolite posture, Liu Qi did not sneer for the first time, and after saluting and saying goodbye, he turned around and withdrew from the position with his soldiers.

After occupying the position, arranging defensive positions around the landing ground, and giving all these orders, Zhang Erxiao found Liu Qi, who was standing by the river, waiting for the division to cross the river.

"Xiao Qi, what's the matter with guns in the city?" Now in the city, the battle between the Imperial Association Army and the detective team is not over, and the fierce gunfire is heard far away in the night, standing on the opposite side of the Yangtze River, you can faintly hear it, let alone the river.

Xiao Qi's title seems to be more casual, but in this way, it can really show kindness. When Zhang Erxiao pulled Liu Qi to speak, he specially pushed everyone else aside, this kind of affectionate title, he was not afraid of others listening.
