The devil warships on the opposite side kept raining down cannonballs, and the shells smashed on the water near the speeding gunboats, blowing up a huge column of water towering into the sky, and Lao Huang's gunboats and small boats passed through the smoke and waves, swaying from side to side, and tossing up and down.

Lao Huang stared closely at the front of the devil destroyer and rushed up, this is a thousand-ton destroyer, rushing to the front of the devil fleet, behind it is a large number of transport ships carrying devil infantry, of course, the devil lookout on the ship found the gunboat rushing on the opposite side, and hurriedly reported to the Nakajima devil on a cruiser in the middle of the fleet, Nakajima devil heard that there were a few gunboats rushing on the opposite side, so he proudly said to his subordinate devil officers: "The Chinese army wants to hit the stone with an egg, Send out a couple of gunboats to intercept us, isn't this looking for a fight? Order the troop carriers to slow down, escort destroyers and cruisers around them, and sink these gunboats, which are not known for their depth! ”

"Your Excellency, the division commander, the Chinese army is good at close combat, although the gunboat firepower is weak, but its speed is fast, if you are close to them, it will still be a headache, why don't you order the fleet to retreat a distance and let the destroyers deal with them?" The chief of staff beside Nakajima hurriedly advised him to be cautious, this devil chief of staff had suffered from Han Feihaizi's gunboats on the Jiangyin River, and when he heard that it was still the gunboats that came up to intercept him first, he immediately recalled his painful memories.

"Sakata-kun, what are you afraid of? The courage is getting smaller and smaller, how much wind and waves can these gunboats set off? It is estimated that their armament is not as good as our transport ships, and I think they sent out gunboats this time just to make us retreat, so that the main force of the Chinese army on the side of Lianyungang will have enough time to complete the defensive arrangement. This just shows that the main force of the opposite branch of the Chinese army is not ready for defense, isn't this the best time for us to launch a general offensive? "The Nakajima devil is so cunning that he can even see this?

The artillery fire of the devil destroyer is another rapid attack, Lao Huang and their gunboats want to twist back and forth like water snakes in the waves, you must understand that at this time at sea, the hit rate of the warship's artillery is quite low, especially in the case of high winds and waves, and the ship is constantly turbulent, the hit rate of the shells can have a 10 percent is already the top of the sky, the farther the distance, the longer the flight time of the shells, the more inaccurate, but the closer the distance, those large-caliber naval guns on the devil destroyers have firing angles, Their hulls were already much higher than the gunboats, and the gun racks were so high that even if they were flattened to 0 degrees, the shells that came out would fly out in mid-air several meters above the gunboat's head, and they would not be able to hit these gunboats writhing in the waves.

Isn't there also a small-caliber secondary gun on the side of the ship? That's right, the devil destroyer has small-caliber secondary guns and anti-aircraft machine guns for air defense, but at this moment, on the wavering and turbulent sea, the hit rate of these secondary guns and machine guns can be imagined, and the shells and bullets fired out are all into the water, except for the explosion of a ball of water and a loud noise, it has no effect.

The gunboat was getting closer and closer, and it had already rushed into the effective range of the small-caliber naval guns and machine guns on the gunboat, and his sailors asked Lao Huang: "It has entered the effective firing range, can you hit it?" ”

Lao Huang shook his head: "It's not time yet, continue to rush forward, it's not too late to get close to the devil boat, and the "water ghost team" will be launched immediately!" ”

In fact, Lao Huang's most powerful trick on the water is not those guns and machine guns on the gunboat, these weapons are compared to those weapons on the devil destroyer, it is simply a scum, it is estimated that it will be smashed up, and there is not even a pit on the side of the devil destroyer, how thick is the outer armor of the devil destroyer, to hurt it, you must have large-caliber armor-piercing shells, but these things Lao Huang does not have here, and neither do Master Qian and Han Fei in the back, so he can only take out his housekeeping skills, That's the "water ghost" brothers under his command who have excellent water nature!

Needless to say, the skills of these "water ghost" brothers, as long as they are given a hollow reed pole, they can dive underwater for a long time, and they can quietly swim to the side of the devil ship, put on the special magnetic explosive package made by Han Fei's subordinates, and let the devil destroyer enjoy a feast of explosion, you have the thickest armor, and you can't stop the bombing of the explosive package, not to mention not one or two explosive packages, the explosive package sticking to the hull of the ship exploded almost at the same time, and the picture is beautiful when you think about it!

At the sound of an order, more than 20 "water ghost" brothers immediately got into the water, their boats were behind the gunboat, and the devil lookout on the opposite side was dealing with the old Huang who rushed up, and they didn't see that a group of Chinese sailors had already entered the water behind, and then reed poles appeared on the water and quickly swam towards the devil destroyer.

In order to improve the accuracy of the shelling, the devil destroyer has anchored and stopped there, the machine guns and secondary guns on both sides of the ship opened fire in unison, and a dense barrage was fired, and the captain of the devil found that the shelling could not stop these gunboats rushing up, so he ordered the shells and guns to be hit on the water, blowing up a column of smoke and water, so as to disturb the sight of the enemy ships rushing over, and constantly released smoke bombs, put down the gunboats on the destroyer, and dispatched a team of marines on board to deal with these Chinese soldiers rushing up!

The smoke bombs on the devil destroyer kept releasing them, the explosion shook the earth, and the thick black smoke quickly covered the hull of the ship, Lao Huang and they couldn't find the devil destroyer in front of them for a while, and they were afraid of hitting the devil ship, so Lao Huang ordered the gunboat to slow down and prepare for melee combat immediately.

The sailor brothers on the gunboat have already prepared grenades and submachine guns, and the mortar gunners are also trying to find the target of the devil ship in the smoke, once it is exposed, it will unceremoniously smash the shells and bullets at the devil ship, at this time, whoever starts quickly and ruthlessly will take advantage, and the target is a lot of devil destroyers with relatively large gunboats, it may not be able to gain the upper hand, although their hulls are huge and strong, but the speed and flexibility are far inferior to the gunboats, What's more, there are more than 20 "water ghosts" under the surface of the water at this moment, and they are quietly touching up with explosives bags.

In the water next to the devil destroyer, heads suddenly appeared, and these exposed water were the "water ghost" brothers under Lao Huang's men, who quickly stuck to the hull near the steering gear behind the devil's ship and the middle ammunition compartment, and took out the explosive bags they were carrying and pasted them on the hull.
