Chapter 4: Bloody War?
The actions of Xiao Yat's team were very smooth, and the more than 60 devils on the "Arima" were all wiped out without even reacting. Once the gunboat was in control, Xiao Yat immediately led the men to turn the muzzle of the gun to a gunboat in front of the left and opened fire fiercely.
When the gunshots rang out on the "Arima", the solo male and they had already begun to act. However, since the distance between the four gunboats was not too far, the sudden sound of gunfire immediately aroused the vigilance of all the devils. In this way, the whereabouts of the single male are immediately exposed.
"Enemy attack!" Immediately, a devil howled, and then, in a hurry, began to look for weapons. As sailors, they were originally equipped with special guns, but since entering Chinese waters to fight, sailors have never had the opportunity to use guns, and there are no enemy ships nearby, so these devils did not bring guns at all. On the front and rear decks, including the wheelhouse, except for a few officers who wore pistols, the rest of the devil soldiers were all empty-handed.
Solo Male just heard the devil shouting "enemy attack", and he couldn't help but be startled, but when he found out about the situation at the scene, he couldn't help but laugh. He rushed out of the gang first, and he didn't need a submachine gun, he shot directly with a pistol, first killed the gun-wielding devil officer, and then stood there with a big grin, watching the devils who shouted "eight grids" in their mouths rush up, shoot them one by one, and put down those devils one by one.
Eliminated all the devils on the foredeck, and the solo male left one person to help him operate the cannon, and put all the others in to kill the enemy. Almost in no particular order, they began to shell the other two Japanese gunboats.
The appearance of the water ghost team was completely unexpected by the Japanese army, when the devils on the middle two gunboats were horrified to find that right under their noses, in just five minutes, the two gunboats on the side were occupied by the Chinese people, and the guns on the top turned their guns to fire at themselves. When they landed, both gunboats were thrown into disarray.
When the terrible sound of shells breaking through the air sounded, the sailors began to look around for a place to hide, and the gunners and loaders were hurriedly loading the shells, and turned the muzzles of the guns to aim at the target, only then did they remember that these two gunboats were also from the Imperial Japanese Navy, so should they fight or not?
"Captain, what are we going to do? Do you want to fight back! The Captain asked the Captain in a loud voice.
"Eight grids, that's our own gunboat!"
"But we're just ——? passive" Before the gunner's words were finished, there was a loud "boom", and a cannonball hit the foredeck accurately, and in the explosion, the three devils, including the gunner, were blown into the sky at the same time.
The man who came out of the wolf's tooth was not only an excellent sniper, but also an excellent gunner, an excellent driver, and the caliber of the naval gun was larger than that of the shore gun, but after two test shots, the single male they quickly found their senses, and so, the nightmare of the devils on the other two gunboats came.
"Captain! We must fight back! Otherwise......" said the gunner, on the other gunboat, to the captain. As soon as he finished saying this, after a loud "boom", he was horrified to find that his captain, including the entire wheelhouse, had been blown away. He was knocked to the ground by the air, and by the time he got up, he had lost his chance to return fire - a shell hit the gunboat's ammunition bay position, causing an earth-shattering explosion. In the explosion, the gunboat broke into two and planted in the river.
The operation of the water ghosts took an hour and a half, and it was completed perfectly, sending two Japanese gunboats to the bottom of the river without a single casualty, and two gunboats were also captured.
As for how to deal with these two gunboats, Ouyang Yun's original idea was to drive back to Fujian and Guangdong, but then he thought about it, the current waters of the Yangtze River and the coasts of Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang are all the territory of little devils, and they can't get through at all. So I want to be generous and give it to Lao Jiang. However, he had this good intention, but Lao Chiang did not have this strength, because at this time the navy of the Nationalist Government had already gone to Hankow, and it was impossible for him to order the two gunboats to turn around and go east again.
At more than eleven o'clock in the evening, Ouyang Yun and Lao Jiang talked on the phone, and when they learned of such a result, they couldn't help but laugh at themselves and said to Li Hansoul: "Look, people don't look down on it!" ”
Li Hansoul smiled and said, "What? The first time I slapped the chairman's fart, I slapped the horse's leg, and I felt uncomfortable? ”
Ouyang Yun smiled angrily: "I shoot old Jiang's fart? I just don't want to Lang Fei for those two gunboats. How much does it cost to build two gunboats that big? ”
Li Hansoul actually deliberately teased him, and when he heard this, he laughed heartily again, and said: "Okay, he doesn't want it, let's use it as a floating battery, we just don't have enough artillery." ”
Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly: "That's the only way." ”
Li Hansoul: "But it's really incredible to say, with only one squadron of the Broadsword Special Regiment, it was able to sink two Japanese ships and capture two. If I hadn't experienced it, I wouldn't have believed it. ”
"It's not surprising that our equipment can't keep up, and besides, the battle area has been suppressed into Nanjing City, otherwise, with the strength of the Big Knife Regiment, they will be able to play the role of a division."
"I didn't believe it before, but now, I have nothing to say."
Not only Li Hansoul, but also Wu Keren, Fang Hongshu, Rao Guohua, and Liu Yuqing, when they first learned the news, they all expressed serious doubts. However, when they saw that the two Japanese ships had indeed stopped at the Zhongshan wharf, they had to be impressed.
Before setting out on this mission, the solo male was also skeptical about the success of the operation. And after working hard to get the two gunboats back, the first thing Ouyang Yun said when he saw him was: "Commander, I am convinced." ”
Ouyang Yun smiled at the time, punched him in the chest and said, "Believe in yourself, there is nothing to be afraid of a little devil!" Then, he also plagiarized a famous quote from a great man: "All enemies are paper tigers." ”
It was night, and the Japanese army did not launch a night attack, and this played into Ouyang Yun's hands. He was in a good position to organize the evacuation.
The second day of defense.
At about three o'clock in the morning, the genius was bright, and next to the ruins of the residential area behind the first line of defense behind the Guanghua Gate, Zhu Zaiting was patrolling the defensive position surrounded by several guard soldiers.
Since the first fortifications were blown to the ground during the day, local materials were used, and this place naturally became the second fortifications.
The size of the defense force is still one cadet company and one Sichuan soldier company. At this time, except for a few lookout posts, everyone else was sleeping soundly.
When the lookout post saw Zhu Zaiting coming over, he immediately stood upright, and then shouted a report. Zhu Zaiting made a silent gesture and said softly: "Let the brothers sleep for a while, and when the sky is bright, you can't doze off anymore." ”
This lookout post was a student soldier who didn't know Zhu Zaiting, and when he heard it, he said: "Yes! Sir! He saluted, then lay down and stared at Guanghuamen with his eyes wide again.
Zhu Zaiting walked past this lookout post and walked towards the front, and after a few steps, suddenly a loud "boom" sounded in the direction of Guanghua Gate, which startled him almost out of surprise, and his guards rushed up directly and threw him down under him.
This explosion was so sudden and violent that it not only woke everyone on the battlefield, but also almost the entire city of Nanjing.
At that time, Ouyang Yun was napping in the headquarters located in the Purple Mountain, and was awakened by the explosion, he immediately stood up and ran outside, while asking, "What happened?" Where did the explosion happen? ”
Li Hansoul stayed in the room next to him, and at this time he also ran out with many command personnel, all of them rushed out of the command headquarters and stood at the door, and then they found that a huge fireball rose from the direction of Guanghua Gate, and gradually bloomed into a huge gray-black mushroom.
"Guanghua Gate! Quick, thank me Chang'an! Ouyang Yun immediately turned around and ran in, and then shouted at the staff officer on duty.
The staff officer on duty quickly connected to the call of the 7th Brigade. And the reason why he didn't find Xie Chang'an, according to the staff officer on duty of the Seventh Brigade, the brigade commander went to the front line, because a section of the city wall centered on Guanghua Gate was blasted by the Japanese army as a whole.
As soon as he heard the news, Ouyang Yun's heart couldn't help but jump wildly, he grabbed the phone and hissed and asked, "Overall blasting!?" How long exactly? What he was worried about was that once the length of the city wall that was blasted by the main topic was too long, then the 9th Division was likely to pour in as a whole, and then, with the current garrison strength of Guanghuamen, it was obviously impossible to resist. And once the Japanese army formed a breakthrough there, then there was no need to defend in other directions.
The staff officer on duty of the Seventh Brigade obviously heard Ouyang Yun's voice, so he looked a little nervous, and he said hesitantly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, I, I, I, I, no, it's very clear." ”
Ouyang Yun became angry when he heard this, and shouted: "Hurry up and find out that the report is coming, the fighter plane is delayed, and Lao Tzu will shoot you!" ”
"Yes, I'll go."
Ouyang Yun grabbed the phone and waited for a few minutes without getting an answer, feeling more and more uneasy in his heart. He thought about it for a while, called Li Hansoul in and said, "Old Li, the city wall of Guanghuamen has been blasted by the Japanese army. Yoshizhu Ryosuke, an old devil, has become smart this time, if the blasted city wall is too long, the 9th Division may rush in, then Xie Changan and Zhu Zaiting will definitely not be able to stop it. You immediately contact Qian Guangming and ask him to call up all the tanks. I have to go to Guanghuamen in person, you keep in touch with the Seventh Brigade, if the situation is critical, let the other troops retreat and prepare for street fighting! ”
Li Hansoul had already vaguely guessed what was going on, and he objected to Ouyang Yun's decision to go to Guanghuamen in person, and said: "The situation in Guanghuamen is unknown now, it is more dangerous, you are the commander-in-chief, and you must not risk yourself." I'll go. After saying that, he called his adjutant and the guards and told them to go to Guanghuamen with him immediately.
Where was Ouyang Yun willing to listen to him, shouting loudly Liu Zheliang and Liu Kui, the people had already run out, and he turned back to Li Hansoul and shouted: "Old Li, the soldiers are fast." I'm younger than you, so leave this kind of physical work to me, and you just need to be careful not to let the situation get out of control. ”
After he said this, Liu Zheliang and Liu Kui had already led the guard regiment to follow.
Li Hansoul chased out of the door and wanted to say something, but they had already gotten into the car and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
