Taking advantage of the heavy fog, the fat man personally led people to touch the Yangtze River, although there was a vast fog in front, but you could vaguely see two warships swaying back and forth, and there were still corpses of ordinary people floating on the river.
Back at the ferry, the fat man ordered: "Brothers, the little devils have begun to slaughter our fathers and villagers, the river is full of corpses, those beasts don't even let go of children, it's too fucking vicious, we are now weak, we can't fight with the little devils, we can only cross the Yangtze River and reorganize the team to fight the devils." ” "So, our task now is to ensure the safety of the ferry and let everyone cross the river as much as possible, but I am ready to die, do you have the determination and confidence?"
Although the fat man is usually stupid and stupid, he was enthusiastic about the pre-war mobilization, and he immediately mobilized the emotions of the soldiers, and even the company commander Duan, who was more afraid of death, shouted loudly with everyone: "People are at the ferry, and people are lost at the ferry" "Okay, now pull those cannons to the river, arrange cross-fire points, place heavy machine guns next to the cannons, provide fire cover, pay attention to the health company and the wounded, and immediately prepare to cross the river."
The fat man decisively gave the order to cross the river.
The first to cross the river were the seriously injured and the nurses of the health company, and the fat man's wife and Shen Lina were arranged in the second group.
For the sake of safety, the fat man specially sent a platoon of people to protect the wounded who crossed the river in the first group, and at the same time equipped them with rapid-fire weapons and a large number of grenades, so that after they reached the opposite bank, they could build a simple defense line on the spot to meet the people who crossed the river behind.
The fat man decided to divide the ten steamers at the dock into three batches of three, so as to minimize the chance of being spotted by the devils.
In addition, he ordered the artillery to open fire on the warships on the river, attracting their attention and ensuring the success of the first group of personnel crossing the river.
These two small warships are a little larger than the gunboats, estimated to be only a few hundred tons, but they are extremely fast, and with the speed of steamers sailing in the Yangtze River, they will definitely not be able to outrun them.
Four 75-millimeter mountain guns roared at the warships on the river, and the shells slammed into the warships dangling on the river with a sharp whistling sound, and exploded next to the side of the ship, blowing up a column of water that soared to the sky, and staggered the two warships.
Suddenly under artillery fire, the devils hurriedly retreated some distance outside, and then fired back, because the fog on the river was too heavy, they couldn't see where the shells came from for a while, so the first wave of shells fell on the beachhead a kilometer away from the fat man, and they couldn't get close to them at all.
The little devils couldn't swallow this breath, and they couldn't see clearly in the fog, so they leaned over to the river at full speed, so that they could take a closer look at who was so bold and dared to swatt flies on the tiger's head.
As soon as he saw them speeding towards the river, he immediately ordered all the artillery fire to be ready to open fire, and to aim and fight again, so that the first salvo would knock the little devils away, and it would be better to hurt them.
The warship was getting closer and closer, only two kilometers away from the ferry, and I saw that on the foggy river, the boss of a boat was heading towards the ferry with the muzzle of the black hole.
The fat man shouted: the cannon fired Now it was lively, because the warship had already entered the range of mortars, so as soon as the fat man's voice fell, the seven or eight large and small mortars all fired, and then four German-made Krupp mountain guns also bombarded the warship together.
A large array of shells exploded next to the warship, rushing up columns of water, shaking the two small warships violently several times, and two of the 75-millimeter shells hit the front main gun mount of a warship, directly blowing it away, and a cloud of smoke came out.
The warship that had been beaten was annoyed and angry, and hurriedly turned around with another warship, and the hull of the ship was crossed, and it was lined up parallel to the position of the ferry, and its lateral artillery was concentrated, and it bombarded the fat man's side, causing smoke to rise from the position, and dozens of brothers were killed on the spot.
The fat man was furious, and ordered all the artillery to concentrate on the smoking warship, and even if it couldn't sink today, it would have to hurt.
So, four 75 mountain guns and seven or eight mortars greeted the smoking warship at the same time, anyway, the warship was smoking, and the target was easy to find, and the shells exploded next to it, setting off a huge column of water that soared into the sky.
Two more shells landed on the bridge of the warship and exploded, blowing up the things on the top of the bridge, and a thick black smoke rose up, which was particularly striking and dazzling in the white fog.
The warships on the river and the Nationalist troops on the ferry position were fighting back and forth, and the first group of people who set out to cross the river had already taken steamers to the center of the Yangtze River under the cover of heavy fog.
After the Battle of Nanjing began, they were directly transferred here from Jiangyin, so they were quite skilled, and they did not feel the slightest turbulence in the foggy Yangtze River, where the water was panting, and the three small steamers drove smoothly and steadily, as if walking on the ground.
Taking advantage of the fact that the little devil and the fat man were in a fight, they resolutely crossed the river, and the steamer arrived on the opposite bank, and after unloading the personnel, they could return and prepare to cross the river for the second time.
When he returned, the steamer was in trouble, and the warship wounded in the artillery battle could not be defeated, so he hurriedly turned around and fled, and happened to meet the returning steamer in the center of the river.
The little devil was worried about his stomach and had no place to spill it, and when he saw that three small steamers came, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he attacked these small steamers with a head and brain.
Fortunately, the fog on the river was heavy, and the shelling only injured a small steamer, but it was still able to move.
The three small steamers that had been hit by artillery fire hurriedly turned and sped away, and started a game of peek-a-boo with the little devils on the foggy river, while doing a snake-like maneuver that twisted and turned, and desperately radioed the fat man for help.
The fat man was having a lively fight with another warship at this moment, and when he heard the small steamer calling for help, he hurriedly ordered two 75 mountain guns to extend their fire, and first scare the injured warship away.
The two mountain guns immediately turned their guns and opened fire on the warship, anyway, it was emitting black smoke, and the target was easy to find, and there was a burst of bombardment, and the shells fell and exploded around the warship, setting off a column of water that soared to the sky, and frightened it to quickly retreat and flee outward.
The three small steamers took advantage of this opportunity to run desperately towards the ferry at full speed, and finally got rid of the pursuit and artillery fire of the little devils, and returned to the ferry safely.
At the same time, the fat man also forced the other warship to retreat, and the little devil saw that the artillery fire on the shore was fierce and intensive, and he could not take advantage of it for a while, but he suffered a few shells, and felt that he would suffer a loss if he continued to fight like this, so he hurriedly withdrew, preparing to call the larger warships to compare. t1706231537:
