Chapter 616 Bloody Battle (Nineteen)

Shan Renxiong, Li Hanhun and others deeply questioned Ouyang Yun's order to let the elite swordsman group deal with the surface ships.Although Langya's training and combat philosophy is a modern product of Ouyang Yun's cottage, even a person with a broad mind like Shan Renxiong cannot fully understand it.After careful calculation, Langya has been established for two years. Although surface combat training is one of the fixed items, there is only one real surface combat, and it was abandoned halfway.That is, only half of the beheading operation against Kenji Doihara was carried out in the Battle of Wen'an.

Ouyang Yun explained to them in this way: After the battle of Jiangyin Fortress, the ships of the Japanese Third Fleet were almost completely lost. Our special operations opportunity.As long as we can destroy one or two of them, the Japanese Navy will definitely have scruples.As long as we don't let them wantonly bombard the boats crossing the river, we will be successful.

In the establishment of the Spike Special Forces Brigade, a squadron consists of seven people, and a squadron has six squadrons under its jurisdiction.According to Ouyang Yun's arrangement, this squadron will be divided into two water ghost teams, which will be launched from the north and south sides of the Xiaguan water surface, and then target the two gunboats closest to the shore to blast or occupy them.

Considering that the Big Swords Group had never performed a similar mission before, and the risk factor was too high, Ouyang Yun did not intend to let a single hero participate.But because of this reason, the latter is not at ease if he does not personally participate in the battle, so in the end, he still personally serves as the team leader of the South Bank team.

Since Matsui Iwane discovered China's intention to retreat, he ordered the siege troops to seize the time to attack the city, and at the same time sent naval gunboats to attack ships crossing the river. .Matsui Iwane had a big appetite, and wanted to encircle and wipe out the main force of the Central Army in Nanjing. Therefore, even though he knew that the evacuated troops from Nanjing were quite large, he still ordered the 18th Division, which was originally attacking Wuhu, to attack Jiangpu instead, in an attempt to capture Pukou of the Jinpu Railway. Station, thus cutting off the main artery of retreat of the Chinese army.

After the cadet army withdrew from Pukou, Lao Jiang hoarded a large number of troops in Jiangpu, fearing that the Japanese army would move such thoughts.

When the head of the 18th Division, Ushishima Sadao, received the order from Matsui Iwane, he had already led the army to the Dangtu area in a hurry.His original plan was to attack Wuhu that night, but at this time he had to change his combat order, and instead crossed the river from the Dangtu area, and captured He County the next day.Immediately afterwards, Wujiang was captured, and then there was a fierce battle with the troops of the Central Army stationed in Jiangpu.

If the national army wants to safely evacuate from Nanjing, Jiang Pu must not be lost.This time, the troops of the Central Army stationed in Jiangpu did not make any low-level mistakes again, and fought with heavy troops. The two sides fought fiercely for a day and a night. The 18th Division, with more than a thousand casualties, knew that Pukou could not be taken by force, so they turned to Chu County. , in a vain attempt to capture Chuxian, and cut off the main artery of the Jinpu Railway in Chuxian.

It is precisely because of this change that Lao Jiang was worried about being surrounded, so he accelerated the retreat of the Central Army and dispatched heavy troops to Chu County. As a result, Ouyang Yun had to find another way to minimize the threat of the Japanese gunboats.

The first time the Water Ghosts played was at 03:30 in the evening.

The surface team of the Japanese army has a total of four gunboats, large and small. These four gunboats have never left since they came to the water in Xiaguan last night. They destroyed more than a hundred Chinese ships, and Chinese soldiers and civilians died in their hands. More than 2000 people.

Before the battle, Ouyang Yun specifically mentioned this situation. He said: "Brothers, you have all seen that our people are dying on the water because of the ravages of the little devil's gunboat. They are counting on someone to rescue them, and they are expecting someone to do it for them." They take revenge. Who can they count on? Only us, because we are soldiers! Brothers, this is your first mission like this, and many must be terrified. I tell you, I am also terrified, because I don't know Whether such a decision is right or wrong—but, I will not regret it! The purpose of our Xuebing Army is to fight devils and prevent the people from becoming subjugated slaves. Therefore, even if there is a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​​​flames in front of us, we must persevere ..."

When Ouyang Yun said these words, 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 burning wooden wreckage, more than a hundred people were struggling in the waves.Although there were soldiers among them, more of them were ordinary people. Their helpless cries for help and their wailing stimulated his heart like a needle, making him so painful that he could hardly breathe!
Shan Renxiong was originally a staunch opponent, but a soldier takes obedience to orders as his bounden duty, so once he received an order, he put aside his personal thoughts and implemented it wholeheartedly.After Ouyang Yun finished speaking, he walked to the front of the team, stood at attention and shouted loudly: "Everyone is there! Turn back!"

With a "click", everyone turned around neatly, and then, they saw the scene that Ouyang Yun saw just now.Soon, the eyes of everyone were ignited with raging anger.

Shan Renxiong didn't say anything more, and after a few minutes, he shouted: "Check the equipment! Let's go!"

The water ghost team was divided into two teams, and each got on a military truck.

When the truck started, Shan Renxiong rolled down the window and glanced at Ouyang Yun. Ouyang Yun waved at him. The next moment, the two trucks rushed out and quickly disappeared from Ouyang Yun's sight.

After a quarter of an hour, Shan Renxiong found a tidal flat that was convenient for entering the water.It is about seven or eight kilometers away from Zhongshan Wharf. At the place where they launched, four Japanese gunboats wandered on the water, firing their guns occasionally.

After agreeing on the action time, Shan Renxiong swam towards the opposite side with three squads of broadsword fighters, each holding a special plastic hose in his mouth.The remaining three teams were led by Xiao Yi. After they were ready to go into the water, they lurked in the reeds and waited quietly.

The target of Shan Renxiong's water ghost team was a gunboat only 300 meters away from the opposite bank, while Xiao Yi's water ghost team aimed at a relatively large gunboat about 500 meters away from where they launched.

Shan Renxiong and Xiao Yi agreed to do it in half an hour, and after 10 minutes passed, Xiao Yi took everyone in his water ghost team into the water.They dived into the water, only with the breathing tube out of the water, and quickly swam towards the target.A quarter of an hour later they approached the gunboat.

In the waves about ten centimeters high, Xiao Yi was the first to show his head. He quickly observed the enemy situation on the gunboat, and felt that he hadn't been noticed by the little devil, so he dived into the water again and swam towards the gunboat. Soon, under his leadership, they Everyone in this group was close to one side of the Japanese gunboat.

The Japanese gunboat was named "Arima", with a length of about 80 meters and a deck five meters above the water.Among them, there are two main guns and four auxiliary guns in the front, and only two auxiliary guns in the rear.After everyone came out of the water, Xiao Yi frequently gave orders to everyone with gestures.Then, he took out the climbing hook from the rucksack on his back. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the gunboat firing, he flicked it skillfully, and the hook hooked the side of the ship.Almost at the same time, the other three fighters also threw hooks.The four hooks firmly held the side of the ship, and the next moment, four agile figures quickly climbed up along the hooks.

On the front deck of the "Arima", after firing a cannon, a group of devils looked at a wooden boat that was blown to pieces by the cannon, and they were dancing and laughing: "Yaoxi!" No one noticed, The enemy has been touched, and death is at hand.

In just 3 minutes, everyone in Xiao Yi's group boarded the boat. They were tightly attached to the cabin wall, and at the same time, they held their weapons tightly with both hands.

Xiao Yi was the first to come up, because he felt that the infiltration was too smooth, so he decided to occupy the gunboat instead of blowing it up.

After everyone came up, he issued an order with gestures, let the first team be in charge of the cab, the second team in charge of the rear deck, and the third team follow behind him to deal with the devils on the front deck.After issuing the order, he waved his right hand, raised his gun, and trotted towards the front deck.

At this time, on the front deck, two devils were loading shells, while other devils were watching the fireworks on the river and the dying crowd with great interest.

Xiao Yi trotted to the corner close to the front deck, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind immediately stopped tacitly.He slowly poked his head around to see the number and location of the devils, retracted, and ordered with gestures: The enemy is not alert, and they will rush out together later, for a quick victory!Also, be careful aiming because the foredeck is full of shells.

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

"Tat-tat-tat", gunshots rang out without warning, and more than a dozen devils on the front deck were all knocked down before they could react.Two of the loaders were thrown to the deck without even seeing the enemy.

At the same time, gunfire rang out on the rear deck.As for the driver's cab, because there were only three devils inside, the second team took them all without firing a single shot.

He succeeded in one blow, and his whereabouts have been exposed. Now it is a race against time.Xiao Yi yelled loudly while refilling the devil who fell on the ground: "Wang Chun and Chang Fulai stay here, the others hurry to the engine room below, hurry! Come on! Come on!" Then he looked up at the driver's cab Shouted: "Jiang Ping, leave two people in the cab, and the others hurry to the cabin, there must be devils in there - remember! No one will stay!"
