Chapter 475: Heavy losses

In the dark night, Wan Hu and the others, who were still on the boat urging their subordinates to speed up the handling, could clearly hear the roar of tanks and armored vehicles on the opposite shore, and the surprised shouts of the devil soldiers: "Look, there are ships, it should be from China?" What to do? ā€

"Fire now, sink them!" A devil officer immediately gave the order.

The first to fire were the devil infantry and machine gunners patrolling with the tank fighting vehicle search team, and they raised their guns one after another, and the gunfire quickly resounded in the night sky, and a dense rain of bullets whizzed towards the north shore.

On the north bank, some light and heavy machine gunners of the third battalion, who were already on guard, opened fire one after another, and the dense bullets suddenly shuttled back and forth over the Hutuo River, and the darkness was particularly dazzling.

More than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles of the devils mobilized their muzzles and the muzzles of their vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns and began to fire at the fleet.

The first to fire was the devil's vehicle-mounted Type 92 heavy machine gun, and a large number of dense bullets rained down on the flotilla screaming one after another, and countless disciples of the Huidao Sect and the people who carried them on the ship were shot and killed.

"Quick, plus carrying! Never let a single device be damaged! Fast! Wan Hu stood on the bow of the ship with a light machine gun in his hand, and roared angrily at the devil while firing back fiercely at the devil.

At this moment, the tank gun of one of the devil's tanks let out a deafening roar in vain, and a 37mm blasting bomb came out of its chamber, with a scarlet flame several meters long, whistling towards the sailing ship where Wan Hu was.

Wan Hu's face changed greatly, and he didn't care about anything else, so he immediately jumped into the boiling river with a light machine gun, boom! With a loud bang, the shell hit the middle hull of the sailboat.

The violent explosion pierced it, and countless wood chips flew along with the fire and smoke, and dozens of people and disciples in charge of the sect who were carrying it on the ship died in an instant.

Wu Ming, who was commanding the troops on the north shore to cover with fire while speeding up the transportation, couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw this, and was furious: "Little devil, I'm cĒŽo your grandma!" ā€

Seeing that the situation was not good, this guy Billy Lavis had already jumped ashore and fled to the rear of the position of the officers and soldiers of the third battalion of the dragon's tooth, hiding behind a bunker with his head in his arms, listening to the sound of swishing bullets constantly flying overhead, the frightened Billy Lavis couldn't help but curse resentfully: "Son of a bitch, Japanese bitch, mongrel!" How dare you attack the people of the British Empire! What a damn one! ā€

What is more distressing than Liravis is the destroyed equipment, which he has worked so hard to transport, and now it has been blown up by the Japanese devils, not to mention, this smuggling route is exposed, and it will be troublesome to transport it in the future, so that the time for himself to get the complete design will be delayed.

In this way, Billy Lavis is eager to grass all the women in the Japanese emperor's family.

Other devil tanks also opened fire, and the other ships of the convoy brought by Billy Lavis and Wan Hu were also destroyed, and the armed men and the people on board the ship suffered heavy casualties.

Wan Hu, who had already swam to the shore from the river and climbed ashore, jumped into the blocking position of the Longya officers and soldiers with a light machine gun and braved the rain of bullets, found Wu Ming, and said to Wu Ming, who was raising a gun to snipe the Japanese machine gunner on the opposite side: "Battalion Commander Wu, you can't do anything, hurry up and organize a cover retreat, and first send the equipment that has been moved ashore and those innocent people away safely." ā€

Wan Hu's construction is really timely, because if it is a little later, the devil tank artillery on the opposite side will turn its muzzle and fire on their side, there will only be greater casualties, Wu Ming's marksmanship is very powerful, and it is not a large-caliber anti-equipment sniper rifle in his hand, and it is impossible to kill the devil's tanks and armored vehicles.

Moreover, although this river blocked the way of the devil's advance, it also created great difficulties for Wu Ming's three battalions to destroy the opponent's tanks and armored vehicles.

Wu Ming's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and stopped shooting, and roared angrily and ordered: "Withdraw!" ā€

When Wu Ming, Wan Hu and others led the officers and soldiers of the third battalion to cover the evacuation of the people, the Japanese tank guns and the supporting artillery of the 83rd Infantry Wing, which arrived later, formed a powerful covering artillery attack on the north bank.

The covering position of the three battalions just now was instantly covered by artillery fire and turned into a sea of scorched earth and fire, and if it was withdrawn a little later, the losses would only be greater.

Pingshan County is hundreds of miles away from the place of the incident, and at this time, Qiao Youhua and the guard company are still on the way.

Shimen County, the headquarters of the Japanese army.

Although it was already late at night, the division commander Chihei Sakai and the chief of staff Yuyuki Chiba were not sleepy, and they were anxiously waiting for the results of the 62nd Infantry Wing.

However, the results of the 62nd Infantry Wing had not yet arrived, and the corresponding lieutenant brought them another piece of surprise and surprise.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the 83rd Infantry Wing and the Chariot Search Brigade have found a large number of mysterious ships in the waters of the Hutuo River thirty miles northeast of Shimen, and the other party seems to be smuggling something, but now it has been destroyed by the Chariot Brigade and the 83rd Infantry Wing! The people of China suffered heavy casualties, and the rest fled! ā€

Sakai Chihei was shocked when he heard this, and he glanced at the chief of staff, Chiba Yuyuki, who was also shocked, and said, "Chiba-kun, it seems that the people of Shina really have a premeditated plan to implement a plan that we don't know about!" ā€

Chiba Yuyuki also nodded approvingly: "Yes, the humble position now finally understands why the Zhina army in the direction of Erdaogouzi and Magou Town has made such a comeback at any cost, like the imperial army launched a fierce attack!" It turned out that they were there to cover the mysterious fleet that was destroyed by the Imperial Army! ā€

"Haha, Chief of Staff Chiba is right, it must be like this, so it will explain why Wuchun Watanabe suddenly encountered the Shina Army near the Hutuo River in the northwest of the city! They must be the receiving force of the Chinese flotilla! Adjutant Tadao Nakajima said.

"Order the 83rd Infantry Wing and the Wuchun Garrison Brigade to strengthen patrols, if any more Zhina Army is found, they will be wiped out on the spot, and never give any more opportunities for the Zhina Army, and the things they transport must be precious strategic materials!" Sakai Chihei said to the lieutenant with an awe-inspiring expression.

"Hay!" The Lieutenant Commander bowed his head sharply in response, turned and took the order.

Chiba Yuyuki congratulated Sakai Chihei at this time: "General, when we first arrived at Shimen, we thwarted the sneaking movement of the Shina Army and achieved quite good results, this is really a good start, I believe that the North China Front Headquarters and the Imperial Base Camp will already reward the general!" ā€
