When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly beckoned his brothers to dig the pit with sapper shovels, and Zhou Wu and Ding Ning also joined the army of digging pits, and soon they dug eight wide ditches with four vertical and four horizontal sides around the ferry.
The fat man led someone to get the diesel fuel over, and just about to pour it in, Ding Ning came over and shouted: "Don't pour it first, tell the brothers to quickly find some dead branches and weeds or something, put them at the bottom of the ditch, and then pour diesel fuel, so that after the diesel fuel penetrates into the dead branches and weeds, as long as there is a little spark, it can set the prairie on fire, so that you can block the little devil from coming." “ The fat man thought that the chief of staff was well-informed, why didn't he think of this layer, so he hurriedly led people to collect a lot of dead branches and trees by the ferry, and piled them all up at the bottom of the dug ditch, and then poured the diesel, engine oil, white oil for wiping guns, and vegetable oil for cooking on the dead branches and trees at the bottom of the ditch.
Eight fire ditches filled with dead diesels were soon formed, and it only took a little spark to start a raging fire here and keep the little devils out of the ferry.
At this moment, the brother in charge of reconnaissance in front came back panting and reported: "The little devil has already pounced on the ferry, and this time even tanks and armored vehicles have been dispatched, and the number is about four or five thousand. ” "Okay, they're just in time, I've got a few good dishes waiting here, fatty, order everyone to board the boat and evacuate quickly, as soon as the mines on the position over there explode, we will immediately sail across the river."
Zhou Wu gave the order to cross the river.
The brothers at the ferry cheered, and they could finally cross the river by boat, although they didn't know what else they would encounter on the river, but the hope of survival was in front of them, on the other side of the Yangtze River, as long as they crossed the Yangtze River and arrived on the other side, they could temporarily get rid of the pursuit of the little devils.
Since the Battle of Songhu, the Independent Brigade has been reorganized many times, the former brothers are no longer there, and now there are still 2,000 people left, which is already a blessing in misfortune.
There was a sudden explosion on the front position, which was the artillery preparation of the little devil before the charge, and Zhou Wu immediately ordered all the steamers to sail and all headed for Jiangbei.
At this time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, the winter night came early, and in two or three hours, the day was about to get dark, Zhou Wu stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the city of Nanjing, which was full of smoke everywhere and full of bloody massacres, and tears came out of his eyes.
This historical ancient city full of heritage is now being ravaged by little devils, slaughtered, and ruined, although he can't hear the screams of the slaughtered people, but he still has a burst of colic in his heart.
As a soldier, I can't protect my wife and children, I can't protect my parents, I can't protect my parents and fellow villagers, and I can't watch the little devils burning, killing and looting in Nanjing City, and I can't do anything about it, I'm ashamed.
At this time, Zhou Wu was dominated by an impulse, how much he hoped to take his brothers to the Xiaguan Wharf and beat up those little devils who wantonly slaughtered the common people, but unfortunately their strength was not good, and now it is difficult to even protect themselves, so how can they save people Ding Ning saw that Zhou Wu was uneasy, he looked at the Xiaguan Wharf, and said: "Luza, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, we cross the river to the north, in order to better resist Japan, if you fight all the people now, what will you do to fight with the devil in the future, as the old saying goes, stay in the green mountains and not be afraid of no firewood, and the days of fighting the little devils will be long, and you don't care about the success or failure of the moment, which is the quality of an excellent commander." ” Zhou Wu and Ding Ning sighed for a long time, the steamer had already sailed out of a distance, Zhou Wu estimated that the time was almost up, so he ordered the fat man to immediately fire at the ferry, so that those dead branches and diesel fuel burned, so that the little devils who were inferior to the beasts could taste the taste of being burned by the fire.
The fat man immediately set up a mortar on the boat, loaded it with incendiary bombs, and took a rough aim at the ferry, and with a "boom", the shells rushed out of the chamber, flew towards the ferry, and exploded at the edge of the pits, and suddenly a flame rose up, burning the dead branches soaked in all kinds of grease.
At this time, the north-west wind was fierce, and the howling wind blew the fire at the ferry very fiercely, spreading rapidly, and soon engulfed the ferry.
Looking at the steamer, the whole ferry port is a sea of fire, the flames are high, the smoke is billowing, the little devils who caught up were killed dozens of them when passing through the mine array, and the thirty little devils who rushed to the front just entered the ferry, they were surrounded by raging flames, burning so that there were no bones left.
This scene made the captain of the devil's wing furious, and he ordered the artillery to open fire on the river, but it had no effect at all except for blowing up columns of water that soared into the sky.
The fierce fire spread rapidly to the southeast with the help of the northwest wind, and Rao is little devil was helpless against this kind of fire, so he had to grit his teeth and watch Zhou Wu take the last group of soldiers to board the ship and leave, heading towards the north of the river.
The steamer quickened its speed and soon reached the middle of the Yangtze River, where the billowing smoke from the ferry covered the sky on the river, so that the ubiquitous little devil's plane could not do anything about the steamer below, so it had to hover over and refuse to leave for a long time.
At this moment, two gunboats suddenly burst out of the river, and they were quickly approaching in the direction of the steamboat, and when Zhou Wu saw these gunboats, those cannons had already raised their breeches and were about to fire at them.
The steamers marched in a queue of two in the front and two in the front and four in the middle, while the gunboats of the little devils were divided into two groups and attacked the steamers vertically from the front and rear directions.
With a "boom" sound, the gunboat in front of it first opened fire on the steamer that was at the head, and the shells exploded on the side of the steamer, blowing up a column of water that soared into the sky, and the river water splashed on the steamer, pouring Zhou Wu and the others with water, and they all became chickens in soup.
Zhou Wu hurriedly ordered his steamer to go up at full speed, and only by closing the distance with the gunboat could he avoid being sunk, because the gunboat's artillery had a dead angle for shooting, and the closer he got closer, the more helpless the little devil was.
They can take advantage of the small maneuverability and flexibility of the boat, lean under the gunboat, attack the gunboat with small arms and grenades in their hands, force the little devils to withdraw from the battle, and cover the rest of the steamers to cross the river as soon as possible.
At the same time, the steamer at the rear also broke out of formation and rushed towards the other gunboat, and the little devil saw that three steamers were rushing towards him desperately, and hurriedly fired at the steamer with all the firepower of the ship, but for a time there was no way to hit these steamers at high speed.
The little devil suffered such a loss last time, and this time when he saw that Zhou Wu and they were still playing this game, they immediately slowed down, turned, turned around, and tried to widen the distance between themselves and the steamer, so that they could use the ship's cannon to continue to bombard the steamer. t1706231537:
