Chapter 131: Total Plunder (4)
Liu Maoer now mixes with the sailor brigade every day, and from time to time takes out the reserve of loot to reward the sailor brigade. The guerrilla special operations brigade also took the opportunity to play with motorized speedboats and gunboats, and Duanmu Changyan also took his subordinates to learn from his master.
Shu Jintang and Li Guangda used the devil's aircraft engine to successively transform 13 gunboats, which can carry 30----50 tons, match rapid-fire guns, and reach a speed of more than 40 knots, which is much faster than the gunboats that captured the devils, and at the same time, there are also 1-ton motorized speedboats transformed from motorcycle engines, which can reach a speed of nearly 50 knots at full load, and rubber boats that can be equipped with engines and motorcycle engines with special configurations, with a speed of only 10----15 knots.
Liu Mao'er and Duanmu Changyan took a speedboat to inspect the larger rivers and lakes in the south and north of the Yangtze River, and ordered people to reconnoiter and mark the small waterways connected to each other by the main waterways, and ordered the operational staff officers to draw up a map of the water network.
After full preparation, Liu Maoer once again laid a black hand on the Yangtze River waterway.
In broad daylight, a patrol gunboat escorted four transport ships up the river. After passing Yangzhong, when approaching Zhenjiang, the devil patrol boat waved a flag to remind the transport ship to sail on the north bank of the Yangtze River to avoid the shelling of the Wumu army on the Zhenjiang side.
Suddenly, several speedboats rushed out of Jiangxin Island on the north and south sides of the Yangtze River, and several short shotguns fired dense grenades, blowing up the patrol boat in the middle of the river, and other speedboats quickly approached the transport boat, some threw out their grappling hooks and boarded the transport boat, some forced the people on board with guns, some jumped on the transport boat, controlled several transport boats, and dragged the patrol boat behind the transport boat, and calmly sailed into the Zhenjiang wharf.
Then, Liu Maoer ordered three battalions, nine companies, 27 platoons, and 81 combat squads of the guerrilla special warfare brigade to occupy the thousand-mile waterway from Wusongkou to Wuhu in sections, and each company was allocated four motorized speedboats and one fast gunboat, and other transport vessels were provided with their own units, and after the area was demarcated, they completed the combat mission on their own. can make Lu Qinghu, Wang Sitong, Zhong Limin and several battalion commanders happy, this is a task that only takes advantage of the advantages and does not suffer losses, if you have the opportunity, you will take the devil transport ship as a fat sheep, and if the situation is not good, you will drill the river and slip away, plus such a fast motorboat and gunboat, it is too moisturizing!
Liu Maoer divided the sections for each department: Wang Sitong's department was responsible for the section from Wusongkou to Jiangyin, Zhong Limin's department was responsible for the section from Jiangyin to Nanjing, and Lu Qinghu was responsible for the section from Nanjing to Wuhu.
Under the command of Lee Kuan Dae, the motorized speedboats and fast gunboats of the sailor brigade carried Liu Mao'er's special operations brigade through Taihu Lake and rushed along the river to the Yangtze River.
Wang Sitong sat on the fast gunboat, sitting in the middle of the fleet. There are 2 motorized speedboats in front of the front to reconnoitre, followed by three fishing boats in 1 company and 1 platoon, followed by 6 fishing boats carrying baggage and escort 1 company and 2 rows, Wang Sitong is in the middle of the fast gunboat, surrounded by two other fast gunboats and 10 motorized speedboats, 3 rows of 3 troop transport fishing boats, 2 companies, 3 companies and two companies march along both sides of the Wangyu River to protect the flanks of the fleet.
At the speed of a motorized speedboat, you can reach the bank of the Yangtze River in an hour, but Wang Sitong still has a lot of baggage to rely on fishing boats to transport, especially a large amount of gasoline to ensure that it reaches the destination safely, and at the same time, Wang Sitong also wants to further run in the cooperation between the infantry and the sailors motorboats.
The fleet sailed into Caohu Lake, waiting for the motorboat to report in front, and there were devils in front of the mouth of the river leading to Ezhendang, blocking the way for the fleet to travel.
Wang Sitong immediately realized that the devil was going to ambush the fleet in Caohu! Well, there must be an artillery ambush on the west shore of the lake closest to the fleet. Wang Sitong hurriedly commanded the transport boat to row to the center of the lake, and two motorized speedboats protected the transport boat; 3 motorboats to monitor the enemy on the north shore; 1 fast gunboat and 2 motorboats covered 1 company and 1 platoon to prepare to launch a strong attack on the enemy on the west bank; With 2 fast gunboats and 2 motorboats, 1 company and 3 platoons were deployed to the west, preparing to counterattack the devil's fire attack; 1 motorboat for liaison; The 2nd Company on the left bank advanced along the west side of the lake, and the 3rd Company on the right bank crossed the river and advanced westward, attacking with the 2nd Company.
Seeing that the Wumu army was on guard, the devils in ambush immediately launched an artillery bombardment, and the two infantry guns and two mortars in the ambush in Huxi soon hit the two transport ships.
The 1st Company and 3rd Platoon reacted immediately, firing incendiary bombs with all 15 short shotguns, igniting the reeds on the shore of the lake, and the gunboats and speedboats launched a fire counterattack with rapid-fire guns and heavy machine guns on the devil's position, and 3 troop transports approached the shore at the same time to attack; At the same time, the 1st Company and 1st Platoon also launched a counterattack on the west bank of the lake: Wang Sitong's 3 rapid-fire guns and 4 heavy machine guns counter-suppressed the devil's firepower, and the grenades ignited the reeds and emitted billowing smoke, obscuring the sight of both sides, and the two sides just fired artillery and guns at random.
The devils in the north were left aside by Wang Sitong, unwilling to watch the battle from afar, and carried out a flank attack on the fleet a few hundred meters away with light and heavy machine guns, and the motorboat responsible for monitoring the north also counter-suppressed with three heavy machine guns.
The fire on the west bank became more and more intense, and Wang Sitong adjusted his troops to launch an attack on the enemy in the north: all gunboats, rapid-fire guns of speedboats, and heavy machine guns carried out a surprise attack on the devils in the north, rushed into the mouth of the river to tear apart the devils' defensive positions, and the infantry light machine guns, gun grenades, and strange light pressed with all their might.
The devils in the north were not equipped with artillery, only a few heavy machine guns, and were quickly routed by the heavy fire of the Wu Mu army, and the fleet sailed smoothly into Ezhendang.
The devils on the west bank were fighting hard in the fireworks, and the flanks killed Wang Sitong's 2nd and 3rd companies. Although the 2nd and 3rd companies did not have heavy weapons, the dense light machine guns, strange lights, and grenades were not something that the devils could resist.
At the mouth of the Nanhe River in Ezhendang, Wang Sitong reorganized the formation, counted the casualties, and found that 2 people were killed, 6 people were seriously injured, 11 people were slightly injured, and a batch of weapons and ammunition was seized; Then, Wang Sitong arranged for the wounded, the 1st Company, and the transport ship to rest on the spot, and the 2nd and 3rd Companies continued to advance along both sides of the Ezhendang Shore to meet the fleet at the north entrance of Ezhendang; The 1st Company and 1st Platoon all boarded the boat and prepared to advance with the speedboat team.
At this time, the goose Zhendang found that the troops were a wounded team of the New Fourth Army, with more than 20 light and serious wounded, and only 6 Hanyangzao were struggling with lack of medical treatment.
Seeing this, Wang Sitong was overwhelmed with compassion and left a batch of food and medicine for the wounded of the New Fourth Army with 17 wounded soldiers of the Wumu Army, as well as 2 light machine guns, 10 short shotguns and grenades, and 10 Qiguang guns. Wang Sitong is more brainy, and if he leaves the wounded to the New Fourth Army, he is not afraid to accuse Wu Mujun of smuggling with the rebels.
The goose really sent a signal from the opposite side ---- safe. Therefore, Wang Sitong ordered the speedboat team to set off to the river bank with 1 company and 1 platoon, and their task was to sweep away all the enemies along the river and clear a safe passage for the fleet.
Wang Sitong's speedboat squadron quickly swept along the Wangyu River with 3 rapid-fire guns, 12 heavy machine guns, and infantry light machine guns, Qiguang guns, and gun grenades, so that Wang Sitong's fleet successfully reached the banks of the Yangtze River, and relied on Wang Junshan's eastward guerrilla column to establish bases in Haimen and Qidong.
Wang Sitong has a lot of appetite, and his combat target is the Wusongkou Wharf heavily guarded by devils. Wusongkou does not need other parts of the Yangtze River, the water surface is wide for dozens of miles, and Wusongkou is a super large wharf, so Wang Sitong instigated the young and vigorous Li Guangda to transport the newly modified engine of the aircraft engine to Jiangbei and use it to be transformed into a fast transport ship; He also fooled Wang Junshan to send an infantry battalion to Chongming Island to pave the transportation line for the plundering of Wusongkou wharf.
Chongming Island has more than 1,000 square kilometers, and it is the throat of the Yangtze River into the sea, the devil will naturally not take it lightly, stationed a wing on Chongming Island, and an infantry battalion of the Wumu Army landed on Chongming Island like a wolf entering the mouth of a tiger, and was quickly squeezed out of Chongming Island. Wang Junshan suffered a loss and was furious, and invited Duanmu Changyan to join forces to fight.
At the beginning of the lunar calendar, four devil freighters went down the river, preparing to unload tens of thousands of tons of wood, cotton, medicinal materials, and coal plundered by the front line at Wusongkou, and then transport them back to Japan. Wang Sitong ordered all 3 fast gunboats and 12 motorboats to go out and hijack the devil freighter.
When the devil freighter found the speedboat, he immediately used rifles and grenades to stop Wu Mujun from approaching, but he was bombarded by thunder and grenades from the speedboat, and he did not dare to move.
After Wu Mujun boarded the boat, he controlled the devils and the people and drove into the river near Haimen. Because of the high tide and high water level on the first day of the new year, the freighter of several hundred tons sailed far into the small river before running aground. Wu Mujun mobilized the common people to rush up and loot supplies.
When the devil got the news that the freighter had been hijacked, he immediately sent a squadron of devils stationed in Haimen to help, and at the same time, a brigade of devils on Chongming Island crossed the river overnight to help.
The four freighters sailed into the three rivers respectively, and under the light of the searchlights on the ships, the horse lanterns of Wu Mujun, and the torches, the common people bustled to transport all kinds of materials. Wang Junshan's three infantry battalions covered the transport team.
The devils in Haimen were already under the surveillance of the Wu Mu Army, and the three squads of the 1 squadron of the devils set off in a zigzag formation of one in front and two behind, and there was a battalion of puppet troops behind. The Wu Mu Army only sent 1 platoon to block the attack, and met the enemy in a formation of two before and one behind. The teams of the two sides are getting closer and closer, but it is the devil who is in the Ming and the Mu army in the dark.
Wu Mujun threw the grenade silently at the flashlight and shadowy figures, and then used the light of the grenade explosion to fire dense bullets and iron sand. The devil was killed by the sudden blow, and hurriedly retreated to adjust the formation.
Wu Mujun fired flares again, exposing the devil's formation at a glance and becoming a live target. Seeing that the situation was not good, the squadron leader ordered the puppet army to shout at Wu Mujun: "You are blocking the rescue, we will retreat now, let's pack up the wounded, okay?" Our well water does not interfere with river water! ”
Wu Mujun's platoon commander was a kind eye, and recovered: "Yes, but let's put on fire, flashlight, let's watch!" ”
The puppet army replied: "Okay! ”
After cleaning up the wounded and corpses, the puppet army shouted again: "We are ordered to rescue, we can't retreat, how about we shoot a few shots?" There is an explanation for the above! ”
"Okay! But you have to send 3 machine guns, 20 rifles, 100 grenades, the guns should be good, don't shoot if they don't sound! ”
"Wait for me to ask for instructions!"
After a while, the puppet army replied: "The devil agreed, you send someone to get it!" ”
"No, you send it! I want the devil to lead the team! ”
After a while, a devil brought a squad of puppet soldiers to deliver guns and ammunition. The platoon commander of Wu Mujun gave an order, tied up the devils and puppet soldiers, and replied to the devils: "We have also received the personnel!" Let's just consume it! ”
After dawn, the leader of the devil's squadron found that there were only a few dozen people in the Wu Mu army, and he was so angry that he went crazy, and the commander of the puppet army took advantage of the situation to seize the devil's gun and took refuge in the Wu Mu army, and the Wu Mu army captured more than 70 devils in a platoon without injuring a single person, and incorporated more than 200 puppet troops.
The devils of Chongming Island sent a reinforced brigade, that is, 3 squadrons of an infantry brigade equipped with 3 rapid-fire guns.
The devil took a rubber boat and a powered wooden boat to rush to the sea gate. From time to time, horse lanterns or flashlights were lit on the other side, so the devils quietly covered up the suspicious targets, and the Wu Mu army also carried out sporadic counterattacks.
Until dawn, the devils had no results, but the formation was scattered by the suspicious soldiers of the Wu Mu army with lights, and it was difficult to assemble, and the number one hundred and ten men and horses were lost.
Fortunately, tens of thousands of tons of materials could not be transported away in a short period of time, and Wu Mujun could only give priority to transporting urgently needed and expensive metal oil, tung oil, and cotton, while the people's interest was concentrated on grain, cotton, silk, and edible oil, and the two ships of coal and wood were not cared for.
Seeing that the devil's reinforcements were getting closer and closer, Wang Junshan was so anxious that he went to the house, but Wang Sitong didn't know where to go! Wang Junshan could only command his three battalions to block the devils at various intersections and waterways.
Wang Sitong handed over the freighter to Wang Junshan, and he quietly outflanked and infiltrated the riverside with the special operations battalion and speedboat team, went around to the side of the devil's brigade, and attacked the boat behind the devil's rear.
Wang Sitong easily captured dozens of boats, all of which were powered by gasoline engines, carrying a large group of devils' boats, which could naturally carry Wang Sitong's special operations battalion, Wang Sitong sent 1 company and 2 companies to cross the river to the south, with 3 fast gunboats, to pick up Duanmu Changyan on the south bank, and personally led 3 companies and 12 motorboats to attack the devil's tail.
12 motorboats were interspersed at high speed, 12 heavy machine guns and 24 gun grenade launchers were specially selected for the devil's heavy machine guns and artillery to open fire, so that the devils did not care about the tail.
The devil's attack was ineffective, so he had to retreat to the river, but found that the ferry was looted, so he could only be trapped on the riverside while doing the battle of the trapped beasts while asking for reinforcements, but fortunately, the two frigates sent by Wusongkou arrived in time and dispersed the Wumu army with heavy artillery.
Attacked by heavy artillery fire, Wang Junshan hurriedly commanded some men and horses to evacuate the people, and some people and horses used cargo ships as positions to block the devils. Wang Junshan is also a veteran of the battlefield, and most of the heavy firepower is arranged on the freighters loaded with wood and coal, these two freighters have enough cargo as cover, flammable but not explosive, while the cargo on the ship loaded with oil and cotton is too flammable and explosive, and other troops are scattered on the freighter as a freighter, and they struggle to resist under the cover of condescending firepower.
At this time, if you don't consider the heavy artillery on the devil's warship, Wang Junshan does not suffer: the number is equal, the Wu Mu army has condescending firepower fortifications, mortars, heavy machine guns and other heavy weapons, light machine guns, gun grenades, strange lights, and short shotguns are stronger than the devil's light machine guns, grenadiers and 38 rifles, and the devil's heavy weapons were destroyed by Wang Sitong, most of them were captured, and they did not occupy the profits, and Wang Junshan found that the devil's heavy artillery did not greet the freighter, he understood that the devil who was addicted to wealth also regarded the materials as his own, I think I am sure to get it back.
Wang Sitong didn't plan to gather the troops at this time, and let the troops hide behind the devils and shoot black guns, which made the devils fall into a situation where they couldn't take care of each other again. It's just that the naval guns, anti-aircraft guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns on the devil warship are too annoying, causing a lot of casualties to the troops, but it's a pity that this time, the motorboat is not equipped with armor-piercing flying mines!
A motorboat was hit by a devil's anti-aircraft gun, which made Wang Sitong feel distressed, this is a treasure!
Lee Kuan Dae's men were not vegetarians, so they turned the motorboat and rushed towards the warship, and meteors, flying thunder, grenades, incendiary grenades, grenades, and heavy machine guns flew like raindrops towards the Devil warship, causing the firepower on the Devil Ship to be inaccurate. Both sides have their own strengths, and they fought half a pound and eight taels.
The devils on Chongming Island sent a brigade to reinforce again, and Duanmu Changyan's special operations team also happened to arrive. Most of the power boats of the devil's reinforcements were taken away by the previous group of devils, and this time the devils could only use manpower wooden boats, while Duanmu Changyan's special operations team was all machine ships and fast gunboats.
Duanmu Changyan's special operations brigade fought in a very orderly manner: a battalion rushed towards the devil's wooden flotilla, the fire team covered with light and heavy machine guns, rapid-fire guns, and mortars, and the stormtroopers quickly charged with strange lights, short shotguns, and gun grenades. A battalion divided into three bands of fire with light machine guns, grenades, and short shotguns covered the stormtroopers' rush to the warship; A battalion served as a reserve, watching the battle calmly without firing a shot.
The number of attacking warships was not large, and only one platoon of each warship was responsible for the charge. They rushed under the warship, threw out the climbing rope and climbed up, and naturally there were snipers behind to cover them, and the stormtroopers rushed to the two warships without any casualties, and launched a massacre.
Duanmu Changyan and Wang Sitong met on the frigate, their men could not control the warship, but they could manipulate the artillery, and the 11 heavy guns of more than 100mm on the two warships bombarded the devil defenders of Chongming Island, and the 38 25mm anti-aircraft guns swept the devils crossing the river and the devils on the north bank.
The devil lost the warship and couldn't bear the responsibility, so he hurriedly mobilized planes and two light cruisers to besiege it. At this time, Duanmu Changyan had already handed over the warship to Wang Junshan, and the two special combat teams used most of the machine ships to transport supplies, and handed over the drudgery of guarding the warship to Wang Junshan, who wanted to open foreign meat.
The Xishan side got the front line of Chongming Island and Haimen to start a naval battle, and hurriedly reported to all departments through the broadcast command center. So, Liu Maoer ordered Lu Qinghu and Zhong Limin to take the speedboat team to help in the battle, and personally went to Zhenjiang to board the boat to command: 6 fast gunboats urgently assembled anti-aircraft guns and armor-piercing shells in Zhenjiang, with 6 anti-aircraft guns per boat; The 24 motorized speedboats were each equipped with one anti-aircraft machine gun and 20 meteor armor-piercing flying mines, and then rushed to Chongming Island.
The devils along the Yangtze River also tried to intercept it, but the high-speed speedboat rushed over when the devils didn't have time to react.
Wu Mujun's speedboat fleet replenished fuel and supplies from Li Jiakui's troops near Jiangyin, and then rushed to Haimen with all his might.
The speedboat team that arrived at the battlefield was non-stop into battle. I didn't expect that armor-piercing shells against tanks would have no effect at all on warships, and they would not be as affordable as grenades to blow up the deck.
The two warships occupied by Wang Junshan were finally sunk one after another, and Wang Junshan, who had been prepared for a long time, led people to jump into the river or go down to the lifeboat, and was rescued ashore by Wu Mujun.
Now that the protagonist has withdrawn, the play is over.
Wang Junshan, as the landlord, of course, wants to feast guests, and everyone at the banquet failed to win a big victory, and there was some interest, only Wang Junshan shouted and enjoyed it, and Liu Maoer didn't fight anywhere: "Wang Junshan, do you have a heart?" So many of us have been busy for days, and in the end we have found nothing, and you are embarrassed to say that you are addicted! ”
Wang Junshan stiffened his neck: "I'm just enjoying it!" You say that such a big warship was built casually by us, and it was not enjoyable? So many cannons don't need to be calculated, cannonballs are open and used, can't you enjoy it? Dismantling so many radio stations and meters, is it enjoyable? So the expensive warship, the devil blew up and sank it himself, can't it be enjoyable? Oh, you're not happy if you didn't catch something, right? No, Deputy Commander Liu, after all, you have fought with the devil warship, and you haven't suffered a loss, and if you gain experience, you will take advantage! The little ant and the big wolf dog don't fall behind, but it's not fun? ”
Duanmu Changyan couldn't swallow this breath of nothing, and brought 30 whale flying mines from Xishan, leaving a company to guard the north channel of the Yangtze River blocked by sunken ships, and he must sink a warship to complete the task. He led people back to Xishan, because now the special operations brigade is responsible for most of the small-scale combat missions in Xishan.
As soon as the company commander who stayed behind and waited for Duanmu Changyan to leave, he immediately arranged for people to sneak into the river to salvage the trophies, and actually salvaged a batch of binoculars and artillery mirrors, a batch of artillery shells, fuses (shells and fuses are kept separately in normal times), antiaircraft machine guns, and bullets.
Seeing that Wu Mujun was salvaging the things on the warship, the devil on the opposite side hurriedly sent professional "water ghost" divers to attack, and the special combat team lost 3 members.
The special combat team immediately sank hundreds of condom-wrapped grenades into the warship overnight, and the next day there were several minor explosions underwater.
The devil was afraid that Wu Mujun would take things away again, so he sent two salvage ships in advance to clear the channel. The special combat team waited for this effect, and only used eight whale mines to sink two salvage ships, completely blocking the Yangtze River channel north of Chongming Island.
