CHAPTER XXVI

Brigade Commander Tian stood up from the cabin, and the seasickness of the night made him very mentally very bad, and he wanted to vomit from time to time, and he was a little unsteady even standing up, but this young general, who participated in the battle of Pingxingguan and destroyed the enemy's most elite Sakagaki Fifth Division, as soon as he heard that there was an enemy situation, his spirit immediately became energetic, and he was about to go up to arrange the battle, but he was immediately stopped by Chief of Staff Peng

"You're seasick, your body can't work, I'll arrange it," Chief of Staff Peng comforted him

"Inform the people on the ship, hurry up ......and get ready," Tian Shouyao still supported

Chief of Staff Peng took a detailed look through binoculars, and he personally went to the cabins to set up, and told everyone to load the bullets, and the grenades were ready, and the instructor Zhang Chimin and the sailors on the ship were lying down on the board, and Cheng Shiqing went to the bow of the ship and commanded the people in front of him, and a lookout post was placed on the cabin, and finally he said: "If the enemy does not come, everyone should not move, and the enemy will not approach our ship, and no shots will be allowed, and we are ready, and it is time for us to sacrifice for the revolution."

The people on the ship were all involved in the tense preparations for battle, and Zhang Chimin, who was lying on the side of the ship, took the binoculars to the head compartment, and told Peng and Tian that they were really coming in our direction, and the chief of staff Peng smiled and said, "Let him come, he will suffer."

One by one, there was a gunshot on the other side, and then another shot was fired into the sky, and the boat bosses and sailors who explored the waterways were accustomed to lowering their tents, and this was the rule at sea: the first shot was to stop the ship, and the second shot was to lower the canopy, otherwise it would be fired

So Brigade Commander Tian said to the captain of the ship: "Tell the enemy that we are merchant ships and do business, and do not shoot guns."

Lao Wang stood on the boat and shouted: "Da Taijun, we are a merchant ship, don't shoot ......."

When the robbers at sea heard that it was a merchant ship, they greedily sailed towards the civilian ship and said, "Let's check and see if the boss of the ship is out."

The so-called "check-in" of the enemy is to store some money, but they never thought that their lives would be buried in the sea here

Cheng Shiqing, who was commanding the battle at the bow of the ship, put on the clothes of Lao Li of Wangshuidao, and hid a grenade in the sleeve of a grenade that pulled the line of fire, and he stood heroically on the bow of the ship, and the boss of the ship came out to meet the enemy

The patrol boat had armor on it, and there were twelve pirates standing on the deck, with their guns in their hands, and the patrol boat approached the civilian ship so violently that it shook the civilian boat, and the squad leader standing in front of it, wearing a new grass-green tweed uniform, with a shining war knife hanging from his waist, and a notebook and a pencil in his hand, and an interpreter, stepped onto the civilian ship

The little devil squad leader asked very angrily: "Where do you go up, what is there on the ship to register?"

Cheng Shiqing, disguised as the boss of the ship, waited very calmly for the two of them to step onto the ship, but they didn't stand firm, and pushed vigorously and pounced, and the two pirates found their burial place at the bottom of the sea

Suddenly, he threw the grenade in his sleeve at the people standing on the deck, and with a bang, he knocked it down, and in the smoke and dust, more than a dozen enemies, covered in shrapnel, slowly stopped breathing, and the patrol boat went away in fright like a frightened bird

From then on, the patrol boats of the little devils no longer dared to approach civilian boats

The civilian boats without any combat equipment, not even sandbags, were certainly unable to resist the patrol boats with steel plates and armor, but the civilian boats were full of the fighting heroes of the New Fourth Army who had hired Jiangnan for their will, their combat effectiveness, and their strength was stronger than the enemy's steel plates

The little devil's patrol boat came to a stop at a distance of 400 meters, and it began to strafe the civilian boat back and forth with its machine guns

The enemy bullied our cadres without spears and machine guns, and they frantically and brazenly fired at our wooden boat, strafing with two machine guns, and the bullets rained down on the ship's cabin, and the bow and stern were full of bullet holes, and the bullet holes flowed into the water, and the thick planks were wet, and the bullet holes were swollen, and the bullet holes were swollen, but then they were full of holes

At this time, the human ship was like a limp body, lying on the surface of the sea, unable to move a single step, and endure the bullying of the wild beasts

Lying on the top of the cabin, with a few guards, the instructor Lao Ma who fought against the enemy, they were all sacrificed, and several of the people sitting in the cabin were knocked down, lying in the blood of the cabin, and the enemy's fire continued to shoot at the bow of the ship, Chief of Staff Peng jumped up angrily, and asked the guards to follow him, and was immediately stopped by Comrade Wu Ruiqing, Minister of Supply:

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the bow of the ship"

"Do you know how the bow of the ship is doing?"

"I know it's going to be intense"

"Then you shouldn't go, that place is dangerous, let me go"

"It is precisely because of the danger there that I have to go and I will command them to resist and in any case not allow the enemy to approach our ship...... Don't stop me......"

Chief of Staff Peng Xiong went up without scruples for the safety of the whole ship, and the guards followed his tall back to the bow of the ship, and Minister Wu, who had prepared his guns, also took the guards to fight on it, and Chief of Staff Peng braved the enemy's fire net to the bow of the ship, bringing greater confidence to everyone......

The barge guns of the cadre team fired a burst of fire, and the enemy's patrol boat was a little farther away, and the enemy's firing effectiveness was a little worse, but he still didn't let up his shots, and suddenly there were a few "Gege" sounds, and Chief of Staff Peng had three machine gun wounds in his chest, and the guards helped him back to the cabin, and everyone silently surrounded him, and wounded him, and he said anxiously: "Leave me alone, it's important for you to resist the enemy, go quickly, go quickly."

Everyone obeyed the order and returned to their posts, and his wife, Wu Weizhen, stayed by his side and took care of him, and he was a little unconscious, and asked with concern: "Have they all gone to resist the enemy?"

"All gone, there were many casualties, and there were many sacrifices."

"Well, their sacrifices are very glorious, and they are worth it."

The sea is still quiet and there is no wind

Standing on the patrol boat, the leader of the devil squad put down the command knife he raised, waved his left hand and said: "Eight grids, it seems that this is the 'cadres of the New Fourth Army' mentioned in the bulletin, and they have been captured alive.

The enemy's gunfire was thinned out, and the interpreter's voice was heard:

"Don't shoot anymore"

"Surrender yourselves"

"It doesn't matter if you surrender, don't kill your heads"

The men on our boat held their guns tighter and shouted in unison, "We will not surrender, we will never put down our guns."

"Unless we are beaten to death, we will never be taken prisoner"

Everyone had only one determination: they would rather die than surrender, and even the captain of the ship rolled up his sleeves, picked up the spear on the ship, which was not very powerful, and said movingly, "We will fight with them."
