Chapter 637: Fierce Battle on the River

The female platoon under Chen Wan'er also found those devil gunboats rushing on the opposite side, although the distance is still a little far, but these female soldiers are estimated to have not directly confronted the devils, seeing the devil gunboats rushing towards this side, they became a little nervous, and under the leadership of the female volleyball leader, they hurriedly pulled the bolt and prepared to fight!

It's Chen Wan'er who has seen a lot of this kind of scene, isn't it just a few devil gunboats? It's not a big deal, there are Zhao Yongfu and their gunboats and motorboats in front, what are you nervous about?

"Don't panic, everyone! With Commander Zhao here, it's not our turn to fight against the devils, just with these rifles in our hands, can we beat the devil's naval guns? Chen Wan'er said to the platoon commander of the female soldiers under her command, asking her not to panic and mess up her position first. With the male soldiers in front of him protecting, what are you afraid of?

Chen Wan'er's composure reassured those military doctors and nurses, everyone no longer had the same panic as just now, the female soldiers and sisters continued to stand guard on the boat, and several brothers who watched the enemy kept reporting to Chen Wan'er about the enemy situation in front.

The three gunboats led by Zhao Yongfu were at full speed, and he could clearly see the devil soldiers standing on the devil gunboats that broke over on the opposite side, the muzzles of the guns were already facing his side, and several ghost soldiers on the bow of the boat were pointing fingers and feet towards this side.

Zhao Yongfu found a tongue of fire spewing out of the muzzle of the naval gun on a devil gunboat in front of him in the telescope, and hurriedly put down the telescope and shouted to his subordinates: "The devil has opened fire!" The formation spreads out! ”

As soon as the words fell, the cannonball had exploded not far from his gunboat, and the cannonball that fell in the water exploded, exploding a sky-high column of water, and the huge waves set off by the shock wave swarmed in, and the gunboat shook sharply several times, but soon returned to stability!

"Shoot back immediately!" Zhao Yongfu yelled at his subordinates.

As soon as Zhao Yongfu's words fell, the naval guns on the three gunboats roared angrily, and one after another the shells whistled through the air, viciously smashing towards the devil gunboat, but due to the strong wind and waves on the river, the gunboat was bumpy, and none of the shells in the first round of shelling could hit the devil gunboat on the opposite side, and all of them fell on the nearby water.

The devil officer on the opposite side seemed to have found the three **** gunboats rushing over, so he hurriedly drove up at full power, the distance between the ships on both sides is getting closer and closer, this kind of combat ship duel on the water, relying on the range of fire from a distance with naval guns, in fact, there is no effect, because this kind of long-distance naval artillery has a low hit rate of bombardment, and it is good to hit one of the enemy ships with a hundred shells, only if you get close to fight, then it is possible to sink the enemy ship, This is also the reason why the big devil ships behind these devil gunboats did not bombard Zhao Yongfu and their fleet, because in their opinion, instead of wasting shells to bombard these small boats moving on the water, it is more reliable to bombard those fixed targets on the Pukou Fort!

When the gunboats on both sides were a few hundred meters apart, Zhao Yongfu waved his hand suddenly, and suddenly seven or eight brothers jumped into the water and sank to the bottom of the river at once.

That's right, these brothers who went into the water are the "water ghost" brothers who beat the devil ships in the waters near Baguazhou, these brothers were originally under Haizi, this time they were borrowed by Zhao Yongfu to defend Baguazhou here, after retiring the day before yesterday, it was too late to return to the team, and they couldn't follow Haizi to go to Nanjing City to kill devils, so they followed Zhao Yongfu and them to respond, now is a good time for them to show their skills!

These "water ghost" brothers are very good at water, as long as there is a reed pipe can lurk underwater for several hours, and these brothers each carry a pack of "magnetic explosives", with a sharp dagger in their mouths, they come and go quickly, and they are extremely ruthless, they themselves have been swimming in Taihu Lake for more than ten years, walking on the ground in the rivers, as long as they are glued, the little devil gunboat will definitely suffer!

Zhao Yongfu ordered the procedures to cover these "water ghost" brothers with firepower, and the naval guns and machine guns fired at the devil ship one after another.

Commander Xie of the 79th Army Artillery Regiment on this side of the Pukou Fort was naturally unwilling to let his artillery position be suppressed by the devil ships, and the fortress guns on the other side of the fort are now under his control, he used those large-caliber artillery to deal with the devil's big ship and attract the firepower of the devil's warship, there are enough anti-artillery facilities on the fort, and as long as the devil's ship artillery shells do not directly hit the ammunition depot and other vital parts on the battery, they should be able to block the artillery bombardment of the devil's ship.

The small-caliber artillery of other artillery regiments concentrated to bombard the devil gunboat, this time, there was a duel of gunboats on the river, Zhao Yongfu and their firepower pressed the devil gunboat, and the little devil gunboat was surrounded by a large column of water blown up by shells, one of the shells hit the deck of the gunboat, and swept down a dozen or so devil soldiers standing on the deck at once, and the corpses fell into the river and disappeared after a while!

"It's still interesting enough for Regiment Commander Xie, use artillery fire to support us, and the other ships just drive towards the opposite riverbank, the sooner the better!" Zhao Yongfu brought a lot of ships this time, he used three or four gunboats to contain the devil gunboats that rushed to intercept, and the other ships immediately sailed to the opposite river bank to meet Han Fei and them over there!

The sky slowly darkened, the commander of the devil ship saw that he could not take advantage of it, the Chinese army on the Pukou fort opposite fought quite tenaciously, and there was no intention of retreating, and once the sky darkened, the ships on the river had many unfavorable factors, far inferior to those Chinese army artillery on the fort, they could rely on the solid permanent fortifications, as long as there were enough shells, they could continue to bombard, until the devil warship admitted defeat and withdrew from the battlefield position, and at night, The river is definitely the world of the Chinese again, and it would be too dangerous to be targeted by those elusive "water ghosts".

The commander of the devil's fleet immediately ordered his men to stop the shelling and turn back, and at the same time ordered the devil gunboats that came forward: "Immediately retreat, don't fall in love!" ”

But at this moment, those devil gunboats can't leave, it's not that they don't want to retreat, but at this moment four Chinese gunboats surround them, the two sides are only 100 meters apart, and submachine guns and rifle bullets are coming in rows!
