Artillery was fired on the shore, and the shells fell into the water, stirring up huge waves. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When they were twenty or thirty meters together, the Japanese soldiers began to shout and ask which unit they belonged to.

At this time, the other side took away the Japanese flag he was holding in his hand. The Japanese troops on the gunboats saw clearly, it was artillery, there were three or four of them.

The Japanese knew that they had been deceived.

Just then, the ferry fired. Four mountain guns, two infantry guns fired together, five of the six shells hit the gunboat, the four mountain artillery shells hit the high position, and the cannon and cockpit exploded.

An infantry cannon shot hit the hull waterline, tearing a hole.

The gunboat shook violently, and several artillerymen adjusted their gun positions and began firing.

The second round of shelling began again.

This time it hit again.

The Japanese gunboats returned fire. The cannon was tilted and several shots flew away, but the ship's heavy machine gun hit a ferry. A few shots were fired at the cabin, a few at the guard of the mountain guns, a few at the hull. Two people were shot.

The ferry continued to fire. Only three shells from the third round of artillery hit the gunboat. The Japanese gunboat had already begun to tilt, and the crew of the boat jumped into the water to flee for their lives. Only one machine gunner refused to run for his life, reloading his own ammunition and preparing to continue firing.

The infantry on the ferry began to shoot. Although the shooting accuracy was not good, there were more than a dozen people, and one of them really knocked down the machine gunner.

The counterattack of the gunboats stopped.

The infantry began to shoot into the water, and the Japanese soldiers in the water were killed one by one, stopped swimming, and the corpses went down the river.

Artillery continued to fire on the shore, but it didn't hit.

The ferry gradually moved away.

The Japanese troops, who had just arrived at the Shimonoseki wharf, saw all this. The two ferries and a few speedboats headed all the way to the north shore.

The Shanghai command had a judgment on what was going on on the Yangtze River, and this was all the remaining soldiers of the Chinese defenders of Nanjing. Today, there are no large Chinese defenders in Nanjing. The garrisons were ordered to intensify their search for small groups of fleeing troops and annihilate them.

The Japanese army drove into the area controlled by the Chinese defenders overnight, and sure enough, there were no Chinese defenders, not even wounded soldiers.

The Japanese occupied the railway station. Today, the train station is also empty, except for the bodies of Japanese soldiers who were killed in the afternoon.

At this point, the Japanese army fully occupied Nanjing.

This time, the Japanese army did not celebrate, or even rejoice, searched around, and spent a whole day searching the city of Nanjing, and then announced the occupation of Nanjing with confidence.

In fact, Koji and a large number of his troops were still hiding in the woods of Mt. Makufu.

Shogunate Mountain is located due north of Nanjing, between the city of Nanjing and the south bank of the Yangtze River. Historically, about 57,000 civilians and disarmed soldiers were killed during the Nanjing Massacre. That is, one fifth of those killed happened here.

The trail had always used this place as a way to retreat, and for this reason, he asked the advance party to destroy all the roads leading to this place. The ships in your hands are also placed here. In addition, each unit has selected reliable people to wait here.

At seven o'clock in the evening, they saw three gunboats coming from downstream, heading for the lower dock.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the river was quiet. The path commanded to send a telegram and cross the river.

At half past ten, more than 200 small boats came to the river, and they densely occupied the river. When the boat was not far from the shore, the signal began to blow from the shore. When the other party saw the signal, he rowed over with confidence, and was the first to get off the boat, and it was Captain Luo who was the first to get off the boat.

Xiaolu said: "Lao Luo, thank you so much, you are a life-saving Bodhisattva." ”

Captain Luo said: "Originally, there were a lot of ships, but unfortunately the national army pulled away a hundred. ”

Xiaolu said: "Is it okay to connect the radio stations of the upstream and downstream observation posts?" ”

Bai Enming: "No problem, I have already been contacted, and no Japanese ship has come." ”

Xiaolu ordered: "Hurry up and cross the river!" The wounded crossed the river first, followed by the heavier ones. The infantry again, the command was the last to cross the river. ”

The crossing of the river began.

The first batch of boats were all full of people, and Bai Enming gave an order, and all the small boats started together and sailed neatly to the north shore. The ship's radio was ticking, and it was in close contact with the shore. In less than an hour, the first batch of wounded fighters was delivered.

At twelve o'clock, the ships on the north bank were ready to carry the third batch, when suddenly a telegram came, and all the ships received orders to return to the north bank of the river. The last ship was still some distance away from Jiang Xia, and I saw the lights in the east turn on, and it turned out that the Japanese warship was coming.

The people on the boat paddled together, some with the butts of their guns, some even with their hands, and the boat immediately picked up speed.

After ten minutes, the Japanese warships were not far away, and it turned out to be a convoy of four ships, all of which were large motor ships. The searchlight on the warship headed by him had to shake from side to side, and the pillar of light slid on the surface of the river, and the next time it was about to hit the sails.

Boat Old Avenue: "Drop the sails!" The two lads lowered the sails.

The sails had just been lowered, and the searchlights swept down the mast.

The Japanese warship did not seem to see the mast, and when the searchlight swept over again, the last ship had already entered the river and was hidden.

As soon as the fleet passed, the boat continued to depart.

By seven o'clock in the morning, there were only a thousand men left on the south bank, that is, Xiaolu and his headquarters and guard troops.

By this time, the sky was already dark. To everyone's delight, there was fog on the river. Observation posts upstream and downstream called, and the Japanese warships did not dare to set sail. All the boats set off together and sailed to the north shore in the white fog.

By the time the trail reached the harbor of Baguazhou, the sky was already bright, and the white fog gradually dissipated.

When they got to the shore, all the officers were waiting for the path, and when they saw him get off the boat, the crowd cheered. Xiao Lu did what he promised, and was the last to retreat.

Xiaolu did what he said, kept his promises, and established supreme authority in the minds of more than 20,000 officers and soldiers. Regardless of rank, they were willing to accept his leadership.

Xiaolu said: "Is Wang Santai back?" Wang Santai led several hundred men to make a false shot, fired a shot to the west and south, turned his head to cross the river, and hit Japanese gunboats on the river, in order to attract the enemy's attention for everyone. When they arrived at the north bank, they did not get off the boat at Pukou, but went down the river, found a place to dock, and followed the guide on the shore to the north bank of Baguazhou.

Wang Santai fought this battle majestically, but he had almost no casualties, and everyone else admired him.

Xiao Lu said: "Captain Luo, there are a lot of new recruits, right?" If you give me a few days' rations, I'll give you another batch of weapons. ”

Captain Luo said, "You are really a profiteer. I know that I have prepared food for you, and tell you that as long as you are in northern Jiangsu, I will help you get food. Don't talk nonsense, let's talk about weapons. ”

Xiaolu said: "First, these motor ships are all yours, train some crews, and engage in the navy in the future." Second, there was a batch of weapons and ammunition, buried in the trenches of the Purple Mountain. Here's the map. When the enemy is not tightly controlled, you can dig it out. ”

Captain Luo: "Be quick. Otherwise, it would be a pity that the weapon was rusty. His advance team soon became a very strong army, and in the later wars, it became a powerful army, a main force of the New Fourth Army, and made great contributions in the battle against Nanjing.
