Let the elite broadsword regiment deal with surface ships, Ouyang Yun's order was once deeply questioned by Shan Renxiong, Li Hansoul and others. Although the training and combat concept of Wolf Tooth is a modern product of Ouyang Yunshanzhai since later generations, even an open-minded person like Solo Xiong cannot understand it all. Calculated carefully, it has been two years since the establishment of the Wolf Tooth, and although surface combat training is one of the fixed items, there is only one real surface combat once, and it has been abandoned halfway. That is, only half of the beheading operation against Kenji Dohihara was carried out in the Battle of Bunan.

Ouyang Yun explained to them as follows: After the battle of Jiangyin Fortress, the ships of the Japanese Third Fleet were almost completely lost, and it can be predicted that there will not be many gunboats that can be sent to fight on the surface of Xiaguan, which gives us the opportunity to conduct special operations. As long as we can destroy one or two of them, the Japanese Navy will definitely have some scruples. As long as they are not allowed to bombard the boats crossing the river, we will succeed.

The establishment of the Wolf's Tooth Special Operations Brigade is composed of seven people in one squadron, and one squadron has six squadrons under its jurisdiction. According to Ouyang Yun's arrangement, this squadron will be divided into two groups of water ghosts, which will be launched from the north and south banks of the Xiaguan water surface respectively, and then target the two gunboats closest to the shore to carry out blasting or occupation.

Considering that the Broadsword Regiment had never performed a similar mission before, and the danger factor was too great, Ouyang Yun was not prepared to let the solo male participate. But the latter was also for this reason that he was not very relieved if he did not participate in the war in person, so he still served as the leader of the South Bank team in the end.

Since discovering the Chinese side's intention to retreat, Matsui Ishine ordered the besieging troops to seize the time to attack the city, and on the other hand, he sent naval gunboats to attack the ships crossing the river, and at the same time, he dispatched air forces from time to time to wantonly bomb and evacuate the troops and civilians in a vain attempt to delay the Chinese side's retreat. Matsui Shigen had a great appetite and wanted to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Central Army in Nanjing, so although he knew that the evacuation force from Nanjing was quite large, he still ordered the 18th Division, which had originally attacked Wuhu, to attack Jiangpu instead, in a vain attempt to capture the Pukou Station of the Jinpu Railway, thus cutting off the main retreat artery of the Chinese army.

After the student army withdrew from Pukou, Lao Jiang hoarded heavy troops in Jiangpu, fearing that the Japanese army would move such thoughts.

When Sadao Ushijima, the commander of the 18th Division, received the order from Matsui Ishone, he had already led his army to march to the area of Dangtu. His original plan was to make a surprise attack on Wuhu that night, but at this time he had to change his battle order, instead cross the river from the Dangtu area, and capture Hexian the next day. Immediately afterwards, he captured Wujiang, and then engaged in a fierce battle with the troops of the Central Army stationed in Jiangpu.

If the national army wants to evacuate safely from Nanjing, Jiangpu must not be lost. The 18th Division, with more than 1,000 casualties, knew that the road could not forcibly take Pukou, so it turned to Chuxian in a vain attempt to capture Chuxian and cut off the main artery of the Tianjin-Pudong Railway in Chuxian.

It was precisely because of this change that Lao Chiang, worried about being surrounded, accelerated the retreat of the Central Army, and allocated heavy troops to Chuxian, which made the defensive strength of Jiangpu, especially the water surface of Xiaguan, tend to be weak, and also made Ouyang Yun have to find another way to reduce the threat of Japanese gunboats as much as possible.

The first appearance of the water ghosts was at half past three in the evening.

The Japanese surface squadron had four gunboats of all sizes, and these four gunboats had not left since they came to the surface of Shimonoseki last night, and more than 100 Chinese ships were destroyed by them, and more than 2,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians died at their hands.

Before going to war, Ouyang Yun specifically mentioned this situation, he said: "Brothers, you have all seen that because of the ravages of the little devil gunboats, our people are dying on the water. They are counting on someone to come to their rescue, expecting someone to avenge them. Who can they count on? Only us, because we are soldiers! Brothers, this is the first time you have carried out such a mission, and many people must be very frightened. I tell you, too, was terrified because I didn't know if I was right or wrong in making such a decision – but I won't regret it! The purpose of the establishment of our Scholar Army is to fight devils and prevent the countrymen from becoming slaves to the country, so even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of us, we must persevere......"

When Ouyang Yun said this, he was full of emotion. Because on the river not far in front of him, several wooden boats were burning, and on the river next to the wreckage of the burning wooden boats, more than a hundred people were struggling in the waves. Although there were also soldiers among them, there were more ordinary people, their helpless cries for help, their wails irritating his heart like needles, making him almost breathless in pain!

Solo was originally a staunch opponent, but it was the soldier's duty to obey orders, so once he received an order, he put aside his personal ideas and carried them out wholeheartedly. After Ouyang Yun finished speaking, he walked to the front of the team, stood up and said loudly: "All of them!" Turn back! ”

With a "click", everyone turned around neatly, and then they saw the scene Ouyang Yun had just seen. Soon, a fire of anger ignited in everyone's eyes.

The single male didn't say anything more, and after a few minutes, he shouted, "Check the equipment!" Let's go! ”

The water ghosts split into two teams and each got on a military truck.

The truck started, the single male rolled down the window and glanced at Ouyang Yun, Ouyang Yun waved at him, and the next moment, the two trucks rushed out of the car and quickly disappeared from Ouyang Yun's field of vision.

After a quarter of an hour, the solo male found a tidal flat that was easy to get into the water. It was about seven or eight kilometers from the Zhongshan wharf, and right where they were launched, four Japanese gunboats roamed the water, occasionally firing their guns.

After agreeing on the time for action, the solo male took three squads of broadsword warriors, each with a special plastic hose in their mouths, and swam towards the opposite side. The remaining three teams were led by Xiao Yi, and after they were ready to go into the water, they lurked in the reeds and waited quietly.

The target of the solo male water ghost team was a gunboat only 300 meters away from the opposite shore, while Xiao Yi's water ghost team was aiming at a relatively large gunboat about 500 meters away from where they were launched.

The hands-on time agreed between Solo Xiong and Xiao Yat was half an hour later, and when ten minutes had passed, Xiao Yat took all the people in his water ghost group into the water. They dived into the water, just exposing their snorkels to the surface and quickly swam towards their targets. A quarter of an hour later, they approached the gunboat.

In the Lang flower, which was about ten centimeters high, Xiao Yi was the first to show his head, he quickly observed the enemy situation on the gunboat, felt that he was not discovered by the little devil, and dived into the water again to swim towards the gunboat, and soon, under his leadership, all the people in their group approached the hull of the Japanese gunboat.

The Japanese gunboat, named "Arima", was about 80 meters long and had a deck five meters above the water. Among them, there are two main guns and four secondary guns in the front, and only two secondary guns in the back. After everyone came to the surface, Xiao Yi frequently gestured to give orders to everyone. Then, he took out the climbing hook from his backpack, and took advantage of the gunboat's cannon, and with a very skillful flick, the hook hooked the side of the ship. And almost at the same time, three other warriors also threw hooks. Four hooks and cables firmly buckled the side of the ship, and the next moment, four agile figures quickly climbed up along the hooks.

On the foredeck of the "Arima", after firing a cannon, a group of devils looked at a wooden ship that was torn apart by this cannon, and Da Lang, who was dancing with his hands, laughed: "Yeexi! "No one noticed, the enemy had already touched it, and death was at hand.

In just three minutes, all the members of Xiao Yi's group were on the boat, and they were clinging to the bulkhead of the ship, and at the same time, their hands were tightly gripping their weapons.

Xiao Yat was the first to come up, and because he felt that the infiltration was too smooth, he decided to capture the gunboat instead of blowing it up.

When everyone came up, he gave orders with gestures, with a squad of one in charge of the wheelhouse, a squad of two in charge of the rear deck, and a squad of three following him to deal with the devils on the foredeck. After giving the order, he waved his right hand and trotted his gun towards the foredeck.

At this time, on the foredeck, two devils were loading cannonballs, while the other devils watched with great interest the fireworks and the dying crowd on the river.

Xiao Yi trotted to the corner close to the front deck, and with a wave of his hand, the warriors behind him immediately stopped tacitly. He slowly looked at it, saw the number of devils and the location clearly, retracted it, and ordered with a gesture: The enemy is not alert, and they will rush out of the city together and strive for a quick victory! Also, because the foredeck is full of shells, pay attention to the accuracy.

Everyone gave him a clear gesture, and the next moment, he swung his right hand violently, and then jumped out of the jaw.

"Click", without warning, the gunfire suddenly rang out, and the dozen or so devils on the foredeck were all knocked down before they could react. The two of the loaders were left on the deck without even seeing the shadow of the enemy.

At the same time, gunfire rang out on the aft deck. As for the cab, because there were only three devils in it, the second squad took them all without firing a shot.

With one blow and his whereabouts revealed, it's a race against time. Xiao Yi shouted loudly while replenishing the guns of the devil who fell to the ground: "Wang Chun and Chang Fulai stay here, and the others hurry up to the computer room below, hurry!" Fast! Fast! Then, he raised his head and shouted at the cab: "Jiang Ping, leave two people in the cab, and the others hurry to the cabin, there must be devils in there - remember!" Not a single one to stay! ”
