"What does Chief Han mean, or take the big river?" Mr. Wang looked at Han Fei strangely, and felt that this young officer was a little too bold, and he was going to go under the nose of the devil.

"Exactly! If you think about it, before the devils came into us, they spent a lot of effort to spy on our intelligence here, and if we were able to get these maps, of course they could get this map, and it was estimated to be more accurate than ours, wouldn't they have thought that we would go through these small rivers? And once we encounter the devil in the small river, then we are very passive, although there are reeds and other shelters in the small river, but it is the early winter season, the reeds have long dried up, if we are found by the devils, the little devils do not need to send a boat to intercept at all, but only need to use artillery to fire incendiary bombs at the reeds in our hiding area, enough to roast a few of us into roast ducks, and although there are devil gunboats and big boats patrolling on the big river, but we have a lot of choices to fight, We can snatch the devil's gunboat, and we can also wait for the opportunity to go ashore and get out of the gap in the encirclement of the devil on land, which is much more flexible than hiding in the river and suffering from the devil's incendiary bombs! Han Fei put forward a completely different idea from Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang couldn't believe it at first, but then he couldn't help but nod and said, "It's still Chief Han who is thoughtful, I listen to you." ”

The reason why Han Fei wants to go through the big rivers is that he is actually betting on the crazy psychology of devils, in the situation that devils dig all over the world to search for their special combat teams, they will definitely not let go of all the waterways marked on the map, and devils have always been known for their seriousness and "tendons", long before the start of the First Sino-Japanese War of the former Qing Dynasty, a large number of Japanese spies flocked to China as various traders and tourists, spying on all kinds of military and geographical information, and drawing topographic maps of various places. There are even maps drawn by devils and spies that can be as detailed as a few wells in a village, which is several times more detailed than the map commonly used in the army in 50,000.

Since the little devils have been preparing for the invasion of our China for almost seventy or eighty years, will they not know about the many rivers and ports near Hongqiao and in southern Jiangsu this time? Since he was able to snatch the devil gunboats at the mouth of the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River, then here in the Yangtze River and its tributaries, he and his spies and his subordinates could still replicate the glory of fighting devil ships off the coast of Baoshan in Shanghai!

After the small sampan fleet traveled to the northwest for two hours, it came to an intersection, according to the map, the big river in front is the Qingpu River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, and after a few hours of continuous travel along this big river, you can enter another tributary of the Yangtze River, where there is a three-river estuary, where the Yangtze River and her other two tributaries meet, and the distance from the Yangtze River up to the Jiangyin Fort is the closest, but the devil warships and gunboats are also the most, at this time, Hasegawa Kiyoshi's Third Fleet had almost all been dispatched to deal with the Jiangyin Battery.

Han Fei decided to enter the Qingpu River with a small sampan fleet, sail on the reeds on the bank of the river, and let the scout brothers on the two small sampans at the head always care about the situation of the devil ships on the river, and the movements on the shore should not be careless, once they find that there are devil ships catching up, they will immediately meet them and get close to the devil ships to fight with them with bayonets!

What Han Fei is sitting on now can rely on is fast speed, good maneuverability, and the intensity of firepower is not comparable to that of devil gunboats and warships, it is estimated that a single shell of the devil gunboat can overturn the small sampan into the river.

At this moment, the sky is just bright, in the early winter, there is a lot of fog in the water town area of the south of the Yangtze River, God also helps in the early morning of this day, the fog is filled, almost invisible five or six meters away, the entire Qingpu River seems to be shrouded in a white vastness, relying on those reeds on the shore as a cover, the small sampan fleet cautiously sailed towards the front, of course, in order not to be discovered by the devil boat, Han Fei ordered Chen Wan'er They to keep silent on the radio, and the personnel tried not to speak.

Just when everyone was holding their breath and staring at the front with wide eyes and marching very carefully, suddenly the scout brothers in front called the code: "There is a warship engine in front, meaning to hide!" ”

Han Fei's heart trembled suddenly: It's time to come back or come back, I finally ran into the devil warship, okay, it's not a way to hide, take advantage of the fog now, rush up quickly, and get close to the devil warship!

The brothers on the small sampan received the order to rush up, and immediately rowed desperately with the oars, and the little sampan flew towards the river, and sure enough, there was a roar of the big ship engine in front, Han Fei listened carefully, nodded and said to Zhao Yongfu: "It's a devil's warship, the gunboat doesn't have such a high-power engine, we met the big guy this time!" ”

"It doesn't matter if it's a gunboat or a warship, just lean on and fight!" Zhao Yongfu still has a desperate posture, which Han Fei appreciates very much, if he has some culture, it will definitely catch up with his own command level, it is his appreciation that makes him not really apply military law to Zhao Yongfu last night, such a good comrade-in-arms who shares life and death, can he bear it? If that's the case, then who else will fight with you? Rewards and punishments are clearly good, but it also depends on the specific situation?

"Okay, leave a boat to take care of the bodies of the wounded and fallen brothers, and the rest of the ships come with me, Lao Zhao, you are in charge of the left, and I am in charge of the right, let's rush up together and grab this devil warship, if we succeed, it is estimated that we can return to Jiangyin as soon as possible this time!" Han Fei immediately made the decision to snatch the devil's warship.

"Okay! Who stays to care for the wounded? Zhao Yongfu asked.

"Captain Chen, you stay and take care of the wounded, take a squad of brothers to hide in the reeds, don't come out without my signal!" Han Fei turned his head and said to Chen Wan'er.

"Ah, oh, okay." When Chen Wan'er heard that she was asked to stay and take care of the wounded to watch the battle, she was really unhappy, but after thinking about it, she couldn't even take care of herself, could she follow them to rush up to fight the devil warship? It's not to add trouble to Han Fei and them, it's better to honestly hide behind and watch the battle, Han Fei seems to have some of the momentum of a commander, if he doesn't listen to him, it is estimated that he will be the next to be dealt with by military law.
