Xiao Xiong received a telegram from the surveillance team hidden at the mouth of the lake at 11 a.m., informing him that the convoy of the devils had just turned from the mouth of the lake and entered Poyang Lake. They did not stop at the mouth of the lake, but continued to march towards the hinterland of Poyang Lake.

But the situation is different from when it first set off, some changes have taken place, when the devil's transport fleet left Jiujiang, there was a larger motorboat escort, tugboats and transport ships originally had more than 100 devils escorting, and in the middle of the Yangtze River, another motorboat joined the escort team, making the total number of escorts more than 200 people.

The surveillance team concealed at the mouth of the lake also reported that the motorboat escorted by the devils on the Yangtze River should return to the Yangtze River after escorting the transport ship to the waters of Poyang Lake, but this time they not only did not leave the fleet, but followed the convoy into Poyang Lake, and the convoy continued to move forward. Now this team is large in number and has strong firepower, which is bound to add great difficulties to Xiao Xiong's volley.

Xiao Xiong: They were a little worried, and it seemed that the situation was much worse than expected. Not only that, but the power of the devil escort is already very strong, and the devils along the lake have also stepped up their patrols. They used smaller motorboats and sailboats to cruise along the lake, keeping an eye on any suspicious vessels. Especially when the devil's convoy is about to arrive, all ships are forbidden to sail to the lake.

According to the original estimated time, the devil's convoy should have arrived at the waters of Lao Ye Temple at around 4 p.m. Xiao Xiong knew in his heart that according to the speed of the tugboat and the factor of water flow, it should take two or three hours for the devil to pass through this waterway of nearly 50 miles, and it would only take about half an hour to pass through the waters of Lao Ye Temple head-on. That is, they must complete the task of intercepting and retreating in just half an hour, otherwise the situation will become unpredictable and perhaps unimaginable.

In view of the current situation, Xiao Xiong immediately ordered the guerrillas along the lake, which had already arrived at the designated position, to prepare for action. They are required to sneak up to the docks, guard boxes, and outposts along the lake of the devils, and when the enemy's convoy arrives, they will immediately start an operation, destroy the enemy's ships, take the initiative to attack the enemy, attract the enemy, try to block and delay the enemy's reinforcement of the convoy as much as possible.

The fleet of boats hidden docked near the old pond mouth of Xingzi has two wooden sailing boats and eight fishing boats. This fleet is in charge of Wang Yantai. The operation of covering the attack along the lake in the direction of Xingzi was in charge of Hu Maosheng, with Ren Jie and Ouyang Cunfeng assisting.

The special forces in the direction of Duchang and the guerrillas in Duchang were all personally responsible for Xiao Xiong. They had 20 boats, large and small, including 5 wooden sailing boats and 15 fishing boats, and were the main force of the attack. The troops attacking the enemy along the shore of the lake on the Duchang side were under the unified responsibility of Zhang Shantong, assisted by Wang Xiaofei and Ma Changyong.

According to the report of the Xingzi Gutang Intelligence Group, the Devil's convoy passed through the waters around Gutang at about 1 p.m.

At nearly half past two o'clock in the afternoon, the intelligence team at Zhulin Lake reported that the devil's fleet had just passed through the waters of this area and was moving on.

Xiao Xiong promptly reported the information to Wang Yantai. Everyone made all preparations for the operation, just waiting for Commander Xiao's order.

However, just as everyone was gearing up and preparing to go, the reconnaissance group hidden near Xingzi County sent a telegram: The devil's transport fleet drove into the dock of Xingzi County. At this time, the time was half past three in the afternoon.

Everyone's tense nerves immediately relaxed, and they were all wondering: Did the devils find out about our actions, and they stopped in Xingzi County today and didn't leave? Or is it that the devil's operation is not to transport supplies to the direction of Nanchang, but to Xingzi?

Xiao Xiong hurriedly ordered that the troops would not rest, continue to wait solemnly, and prepare for the attack.

At four o'clock, news came from Xingzi: According to the scout's report, the devil only stopped at Xingzi for a short time, as if he had loaded something on the ship, and then left the dock, and is now driving in the direction of Lao Ye Temple.

"Order: Units along the lake, the interception operation begins now." Xiao Xiong gave the order for a general attack. The order was quickly transmitted by telegram to the various units along the lake to support them.

Suddenly, on both sides of Poyang Lake, fierce gunfire and huge explosions immediately rang out. Almost all the turrets, guard boxes, and outposts along the coast were attacked. In particular, almost all the motorboats and other large and small ships anchored on the dock were attacked, some were blown up, and some were injured. Many devils were killed and wounded in this sudden attack.

When the devil recovers, he will immediately launch a counterattack against the attacking army. They concentrated their firepower and desperately strafed the attackers. However, the attacking rangers and guerrillas went forward one after another, and launched round after round of attacks against the enemy.

On both sides of Poyang Lake, the enemy and the enemy fought a life-and-death struggle.

The sound of explosions and gunfire alarmed the convoy of devils who were heading for the lake. When they saw the fierce fighting taking place on the shore of the lake, they secretly rejoiced that they had just left the port. So, they quickly quickened their speed, wanting to get away from the land of right and wrong as soon as possible.

After receiving Xiao Xiong's order, the fleet hidden near the mouth of the old pond of Xingzi immediately drove the fleet to the lake while the devils were led away by our troops on the shore. By the time the devils on the shore found out, they were already out of range of the devils' 38 big covers.

Wang Yantai led the fleet towards the transport fleet of devils who were heading towards the waters of Lao Ye Temple. The devils on the transport fleet have already discovered them. The devils on the motorboat and on the tugboat had set up mortars or heavy machine guns on the bow deck and cabins, and they were so fierce that they began to shoot wildly at the Einsatzgruppen flotilla.

The shells kept falling in the water near Wang Yantai's fleet, stirring up a column of water several meters high. The Einsatzgruppen's wooden sailboat shook incessantly by the impact of the waves. Even more bitter were the fishing boats, some of which were almost overturned by the waves because the tonnage boats were so light. Everyone desperately stabilized the boat, and with the help of the strong northwest wind, they continued to rush towards the devil in the rain of bullets, and the two wooden sailboats approached the devil's motorboat first.

"Hit!" Wang Yantai let out an angry roar, only to see that the ship of the Einsatzgruppen immediately erupted tongues of fire and shot at the enemy ship.

Seeing that the devil's fleet was not good, the tugboat immediately led the three barges to the left front and continued to drive in, while the two motorboats rushed viciously towards the Einsatzgruppen.

The enemy concentrated all his fire on the two wooden galleons and fired wildly. Not long after, a wooden sailing ship was unfortunately hit by several shells one after another, and the ship was blown up and caught fire. In desperation, the surviving Einsatzgruppen members were forced to jump into the icy water of the lake and abandon the boat to flee for their lives.

The wooden sailing boat on which Wang Yantai was riding took advantage of the short time when the enemy concentrated fire on another ship, and approached the enemy's fleet even more. He ordered everyone not to think about the attack of the devil's motorboat, but to concentrate their fire on the devil's tugboat, as long as the devil's transport ship was sunk, it would be a victory. So, they didn't care about the devil's motorboat, but concentrated all their firepower on the transport ship, and the dense bullets kept shooting at the devil's tugboat, hitting the hull of the tugboat and making a clanging sound, and the devils on the tugboat were shot one after another and fell into the lake.

At this time, the remaining five fishing boats also scattered and slowly approached the devil's fleet, and they started a guerrilla war with the devil on the water. However, due to the enemy's firepower, although the five fishing boats were brave, the fishing boats were too small after all, and the firepower was very weak. Before they could get close to the devil's motorboat, after a while, under the heavy fire of enemy artillery and heavy machine guns, they were successively beaten and sunk into the lake.

On the lake, only Wang Yantai's wooden sailboat was still fighting alone, and the devil's two motorboats had blocked the route of their attack, and they were frantically attacking Wang Yantai. The members of the boat kept falling, and some fell into the lake. The hull of the ship was also beaten to a thousand holes, and the terrible thing was that the ship was set on fire by devils.

Wang Yantai yelled at the team members:

"Brothers, leave nothing and charge at the enemy's motorboat."

Like a burning torch, the wooden sailboat rushed desperately towards the enemy's motorboat in front of it, blown by the increasingly fierce northwest wind. The devils on the motorboat were stunned by the scene in front of them, and just desperately fired at the sailboat that was burning and rushing towards them. The main mast of the galleon was blown off by artillery fire, and the speed of the ship suddenly slowed down. The devil's motorboat kept shooting at the wooden sailboat, which was hit by cannonballs one after another, and the cabin began to flood, and finally slowly sank.

Suddenly, not far to the left of the devil's fleet, a larger fleet appeared, and they were rapidly approaching the devil's transport. It turned out that Xiao Xiong led the main fleet of the Einsatzgruppen to arrive.

According to the previous plan, Wang Yantai and the others started to launch the first round of attacks from the right side of the devil's advance, blocking the channel of the devil's fleet and attracting the devil's attention. Then Xiao Xiong and them will launch a fatal blow on the left side of the devil to destroy the devil's transport ship.

But what he didn't expect was that Wang Yantai's fleet had not yet completely approached the devil, and soon the whole army was wiped out. Now only Xiao Xiong is left to lead the main force to fight the enemy.

Fortunately, because Wang Yantai's fleet attracted the attention of the devil and diverted the devil's two motorboats, Xiao Xiong and the others were able to quickly approach the devil's transport ship, which was only about 100 meters away from the devil's fleet. Suddenly, twenty ships, large and small, attacked the devil from different directions at the same time.

The devil on the motorboat saw that a large number of enemies pounced on the transport ship, and hurriedly turned the bow of the boat, and rushed towards Xiao Xiong and them with full horsepower. Xiao Xiong divided half of his forces and headed towards the devil's motorboat.

The remaining ten ships of the Einsatzgruppen pounced on the Devil transports, as you know, because only by getting close to the enemy ships could they have a chance to sink them with grenades and explosives.

Suddenly, one of the devils' iron barges lifted the linoleum cloth covering the ship, and a row of mortars and several heavy machine guns were mounted on the deck. The devils on the ship shot wildly at the Einsatzgruppen who rushed up. Several fishing boats rushing ahead were quickly sunk by enemy fire. But the rest of the ships were already less than 50 meters away from the enemy ships, and they continued to rush towards the enemy ships. The rangers on the ship had already held their strength, and when they approached the enemy ship, they threw grenades at the enemy.

Grenades exploded one after another on the enemy ship, and the devil was blown up to the point where the devil cried wolf. The two fishing boats finally approached the devil's transport boat, and the team members all abandoned the boat and jumped on the devil's transport boat.

The devils on the ship pounced on them fiercely, and the two sides scuffled. However, the number of devils on the ship was superior in numbers, and the team members who jumped on the boat saw that it was difficult to resist the enemy's attack, so they jumped into the cabin one by one, and together they pulled the grenades tied to their bodies.

I only heard explosions in the cabin of the devil transport ship, and the cabin was suddenly blown open several large holes, and the raging lake water rushed in in an instant. When the stunned devils picked up the quilts and tried to block the hole, they were helpless in the face of the large stream of water pouring into the cabin. Because the explosion just now was so violent, the entire cabin was blown open, and the cabin was quickly filled with water. The devils had no choice but to cut the cables that were connected to each other and jump onto the other two boats.

In a few moments, the bombed transport ship sank into the gushing lake with a loadload of supplies.

At this time, the battle on the lake was quickly decided, and eight of the ten fishing boats of the Einsatzgruppen that faced the devil motorboat were sunk. One of the devil's airboats was also blown out of power and floated on the lake, and the cabin was already flooded, and it looked like it would not be long before it sank into the lake. The other steamboat was also badly wounded, but continued to fire at the remaining two wooden sailboats. The wooden galleons were already on fire. After a while, the two wooden sailboats began to sink, and the remaining rangers on board were forced to abandon the ship and jump into the water.

The steamboat slowly headed towards the transport, while the heavily fireable transports withstood the Einsatzgruppen's onslaught. Although Xiao Xiong organized attacks again and again, due to the fierce firepower of the devils, soon, all the remaining fishing boats were sunk by the devils. And in the end, only himself, a badly injured wooden sailing boat, was still barely fighting.

Although they had sunk one of the devil's transport ships, they did not know exactly where the gas bomb was installed, and they did not know whether their mission had been accomplished. However, although the other two transport ships of the devil were hit hard, they were basically intact. It seems that it is impossible to complete the task this time.

Xiao Xiong let out a long sigh, thinking secretly in his heart: God really won't help me.

But then he roared loudly:

"Brethren, the last hour is coming, and you must die heroically. Everyone muster up the courage to be like Wang Yantai to crash and sink the devil's transport ship! ”

"Sink the devil!" Everyone roared together.

Jiang Yongming stood at the stern of the boat, he tied himself to the rudder, his hands tightly grasped the helm handle, and his eyes were fixed on the devil's transport ship. The rest of the crew on the boat, some of them tightened their sails, and some of them rolled up their oars. The wooden sailboat rushed towards the devil in the face of the enemy's bullets.

Suddenly, Jiang Yongming shouted sharply:

"Prayer, brethren! The king of Dingjiang blesses, the dragon lord blesses, the gods of Poyang Lake bless, kill the devil! ”

"King Dingjiang blesses, the dragon lord blesses, the gods of all roads bless, kill all the devils! Kill all the devils! ”

On the choppy Poyang Lake, both the soldiers on the wooden sailing boats rushing towards the devils and the rangers floating in the water shouted together.

The tragic cry of "kill the devil" echoed in the sky above the lake, as if the lake was full of water......
