Just when Zhou Wu and Ding Ning dispatched troops and sent their generals to the direction of Jiangdu to fight the fire, Lu Ping, who took the three battalions of seven or eight hundred brothers, found a group of small black spots on the vast and wide Yangtze River in the distance on the hidden ambush position at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and he hurriedly picked up the telescope and looked at those small black spots, and slowly seven or eight ships appeared in his field of vision, among which there were armed gunboats of little devils in front of them, and there was a big warship of devils behind the fleet, judging by the splash on the bow of the ship, Lu Ping estimated that this may be a big warship of the Little Devil Navy, with a displacement of at least more than 1,000 tons.
After Zhou Wu got the information, he immediately instructed Lu Ping to build a defensive position on the spot to intercept the devil warships coming from the Yangtze River, the fat man They have fallen into the encirclement preset by the little devils, then this devil fleet from the Yangtze River must be the fleet that escorted Mr.
Wang to Nanjing, since Lu Ping and his three battalions have rushed to the mouth of the Yangtze River, they will build a position on the spot to intercept and rescue Mr.
Wang who was escorted by the devils.
Lu Ping used to be a second-in-command in the Gaoyou Lake cottage, and he was also a one-man figure, but after all, he was not very familiar with the national army's set of digging trenches to build temporary defensive positions, and after hearing Zhou Wu's order to build a defensive position on the spot, he didn't know what to do, so he lost a company commander next to him and said to him: "Battalion Commander Lu, I think that since the brigade let us rescue Mr.
Wang, we don't have to dig trenches to build defensive positions by the river, because judging from the composition of the devil's fleet, the devil has a large warship of more than 1,000 tons." , we don't have any decent heavy weapons at hand that can fight the devil warship, so digging a trench and fighting against the little devil warship, we may not be able to take much advantage, and once we alarm the little devil fleet that escorts Mr.
Wang, they turn around or return to Taizhou City halfway, and we will run here in vain. ” Lu Ping heard this, thinking that although he was a battalion commander, he had always been used to being the king of the Water Pirate Mountain in the Gaoyou Lake cottage, and now he was asked to command his brothers according to the regular positional warfare steps of the national army, which was really a bit difficult, although he studied guerrilla warfare for several months under the guidance of the cadres of the New Fourth Army, most of them did not know the essentials, and they still had to be honed and honed in actual combat.
So when he was scratching his head when he heard Zhou Wu's order today, the suggestion made by the company commander was just in line with his appetite, and he hurriedly said to the company commander: "Tell me quickly, how can our third battalion rescue Lao Wang from the boat?"
"Battalion commander, I think that if we want to rescue Mr.
Wang on the boat over there, we can only outwit, not attack, I just said, we have neither the heavy weapons that can beat the devil gunboats and warships, nor do we have enough brothers to fight against the small devil fleet with strong guns and guns, it is better to give full play to the strengths of our brothers in the three battalions, divide into more than a dozen action groups, led by their respective platoon and company commanders, choose a relatively narrow channel on the nearby river to ambush, and let go of the little devil gunboats escorted in front, When the ship that escorted Mr.
Wang came over, the brothers swarmed up from the water, forcing the devil boat to stop advancing, and then the brothers forcibly boarded the boat to rescue Lao Wang, and after succeeding, leaving a platoon of brothers to cover the retreat of the large force, the brigade's latest order requires us to approach the direction of Shuimo Town, and we can directly insert Shuimo Town, which is located in the southeast direction of Gaoyou Lake, and it is possible to meet the chief of staff and them halfway, so that our third battalion will basically complete the task assigned to our third battalion by the brigade.
The company commander said to Lu Ping, who was confused.
Lu Ping was greatly surprised when he heard the company commander's opinion, and asked: "Brother this company commander, what did you do in the Independent Brigade before?"
Lu Ping wondered how the small company commander of the national army talked about the deployment of the battle plan like the chief of staff, one after another, and admired it very much, and hurriedly inquired about his old background.
"Battalion commander, my name is Zheng Liming, a native of Taiyuan, Shaanxi, I used to be the deputy chief of staff under the first regiment of the head of the independent brigade Liu, and now our independent brigade is not downsized, our regiment commander Liu has become the commander of the first battalion, and I will go to the third battalion to be the company commander under you."
Company Commander Zheng introduced himself.
"Okay, you work under my Lu Ping, I will definitely not treat you badly, see that you are very good at fighting and arranging troops, I think it is a material, when our three battalions finish this battle, I will tell the brigade seat well, at your level, there is absolutely no problem in being a deputy battalion commander."
Lu Ping said.
"Thank you battalion commander for the introduction, but this battle is not easy to fight, we must grasp the timing of the action, the attack is early, the attack is late, with the speed of the devil ship sailing on the river, we will definitely not be able to catch up, so we still have to inform the brothers in the operation to pay attention to coordination, listen to the command of the battalion headquarters in a unified manner, don't fight separately, so as not to let the little devil ship escape."
Company Commander Zheng saw that Lu Ping was going to introduce himself in front of the brigade, and felt that this time he had to seize the opportunity and perform well.
Lu Ping immediately ordered his brothers to divide into ten surface combat groups, each group of four people, each with a platoon commander with good water kung fu to lead, anyway, most of the brothers in the third battalion are brothers in the Gaoyou Lake Water Village, usually used to wandering in the vast and boundless lake, now I came to this Yangtze River, except that the waves are a little bigger than Gaoyou Lake, there is no big problem with the rest, with the level of these "white stripes in the waves", there should not be much problem in intercepting the devil fleet in the water of the Yangtze River.
The remaining nearly 200 brothers were waiting on the shore, obeying the unified command of Company Commander Zheng at any time, covering the brothers who had launched the water to intercept the devil's boat with firepower, and attracting the fire from the little devil's fleet to the shore, so that the brothers in the water would have time to help board the ship to rescue Mr.
Wang.
Lu Ping personally took his four brothers to the river beach, and he looked at the surrounding river terrain with his expert experience, and found that there was a bend not far in front of him, and the river was not wide, at most two miles wide, and he could intercept those devil fleets that were going up the river by setting up an ambush there.
The brothers of the ten groups of surface action teams just jumped into the river, and before they could find a hidden place to ambush them, the gunboats of the little devils behind them rushed over with a rumble, Lu Ping hurriedly used gestures to beckon the brothers to hide, the two high-speed devil gunboats did not find that there were many "white stripes in the waves" in ambush at the bend of the river, and they drove directly over, the gunboats were about 200 tons in size, and the speed was quite fast, and the gunboats drove over the river, and there were snow-white waves.
The long channel trail followed the gunboat at high speed in the direction of Nanjing, with no end in sight.
Due to the speed of the gunboats, the wooden sailing boats escorting Mr.
Wang behind were much slower, and Lu Ping and the others waited in the water for about twenty minutes before waiting for those devil wooden sailboats.
Lu Ping looked carefully at the wooden sailing boats with a telescope on the water, and saw four wooden sailing boats coming over the water in the distance, each with a little devil wearing a yellow-skinned army coat.
But Lu Ping saw according to the direction of the little devil's fleet that there was a larger ship that might be the ship escorting Mr.
Wang, because it was just in the middle of the other three boats, two in front and one boat in the back surrounded the wooden sailboat in the middle like the stars holding the moon.
Lu Ping made up his mind and hurriedly issued an order to his brothers in the ten surface combat teams.
The two groups of brothers dealt with a little devil's boat, and the extra two groups followed Lu Ping's group to attack the devil ship in the middle with all their might, stopping them first, and then rushing to help board the boat to rescue Mr.
Wang.
For the sake of safety, he ordered the brothers who boarded the ship to immediately send a signal to the other combat groups as soon as they found that there was Lao Wang on the ship, so that the other groups could immediately abandon the boat and concentrate on rescuing this Lao Wang.
The little devil's wooden sailboat arrived while he spoke, and Lu Ping made an offensive gesture, and the brothers of the ten groups of surface combat teams dived into the water one by one, breathing against a reed pole floating on the water, and quickly approached the devil's sailboat that sailed over.
Lu Ping took the lead, a fierce man plunged into the cold and panting Yangtze River water, with his four groups of sixteen quickly swam to the wooden sailboat in the middle, after diving a distance underwater, Lu Ping estimated that he had almost arrived at the place, rushed out of the river, and looked, he was still a full hundred meters away from the wooden sailing boat in the middle direction, it seems that this in the Yangtze River with the rapid flow of the Yangtze River can not be compared with the lake surface of Gaoyou Lake, the timing is not good, the calculation is wrong, and the distance is far away.
At this time, the other brothers who were responsible for attacking the peripheral devil ships had already begun to act, each of them had a clear division of labor, and the two brothers who had been holding their breath underwater for a long time were specifically responsible for digging the bottom of the devil's wooden sailboat, first making one or two small holes in the little devil's wooden sailboat, and letting the river water pour into the boat, forcing the little devil to stop the boat for inspection, and the other two brothers took the opportunity to deliberately lure the devils on the boat to fire at them, attracting the devil's firepower to the side of the wooden sailboat, and the most important brothers saw the opportunity, From the defenseless side of the little devil, he rushed to board the boat and found Lao Wang to be rescued.
Lu Ping saw that his brothers began to move, due to the wrong estimation of the distance, there was still a distance of more than 100 meters from the wooden sailboat in the middle, so he was in a hurry, and hurriedly stabbed down again, this time he was full of energy, held his breath, swam out a hundred meters, touched up with his left hand, and finally touched the bottom of the wooden sailboat in the middle: "Damn, I finally caught you, I met me Lu Ping, today I call you a little devil good-looking" t1706231537:
