Zhang Ercheng's artillery brothers saw that the devil ship was about to run, of course they would not let it go, so after a short silence, more than a dozen mortars of all sizes once again began to bombard the devil firepower ship that had turned around and fled.
As a burst of "all-through" bombardment sounded, the devil's fire reconnaissance ship, which saw that the situation was wrong and wanted to turn around and escape, was hit by four shells, and immediately exploded puffs of black smoke, and the power seemed to be blown up, stopped, and gasped for breath in the water in place.
But he couldn't move.
The fat man saw that the devil ship was not moving, and hurriedly shouted at Zhang Ercheng and them: "Zhang Ercheng, hurry up and open fire and sink this devil ship, don't let it run away."
Zhang Ercheng replied, hurriedly aimed at the devil ship, and asked the loader next to him to quickly stuff in a fully charged blasting shell, only to see the artillery loader quickly stuff a shell, cover his ears and squat sideways, a 60 mortar shell roared out, and smashed viciously at the devil ship that was already lying down.
I only heard a loud "boom" sound, and the cannonball accurately smashed on the deck of the devil's ship that was lying on its stomach, exploding into thick smoke and blazing into the sky, and many of the little devils on the boat were sent into the lake with guns and guns, and they all died one by one.
When the captain of the devil brigade who rushed over from behind saw that the two fire reconnaissance ships in front of him were destroyed by the fat man's artillery fire, he was so angry that he screamed and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to rely on the strength of the crowd to press over to the fat man and them from all directions, trying to surround the fat man and them first, and then gather and annihilate them.
Of course, the fat man is not a fool, he saw that the ships of these little devils were surrounding one after another, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates: "The brothers in the water are responsible for delaying the devil ships, and the brothers of the other two platoons alternately cover the actions of the water ghost brothers, and after ten minutes, each platoon will immediately alternately cover the retreat" The water ghost brothers in the water just suffered from the little devil's fire reconnaissance ship, and some of the brothers who were very good at the water were killed and injured, and they were on fire in their hearts, and after hearing the fat man's order to destroy the little devil's boat, they immediately sank to the bottom of the water in a whistle from a leading platoon leader, and quickly sneaked in the water and swam in groups of two to these devil ships behind.
The little devils are not stupid, when they saw these brothers floating on the water suddenly disappeared under the water, they immediately used all kinds of weapons in their hands to shoot desperately at the lake they thought was suspicious, what three or eight big covers, crooked machine guns, grenadiers, etc., everything that could be fired came in handy, a few little devils actually threw grenades into the lake, blowing up a column of water that soared to the sky, and some lake fish that were washed into the boat by the waves, There are a few fish that have not been killed by the grenade and are still jumping around in the devil's cabin, which is very interesting.
But these water ghost brothers under the water are not so stupid, they saw the devil's guns and bullets coming, hurriedly whistled, surfaced, and swam towards the devil boat in a serpentine maneuver in the lake, no matter how fierce the little devil's machine gun bullets were, but they couldn't hit these white stripes in the waves that were walking on the ground in the lake, plus these water ghost brothers made full use of all kinds of cover in the lake, skillfully dived underwater for a while, surfaced for a while, left and right, back and forth, The little devils on the boat were so angry that they were helpless and scolded.
Seeing these brothers under the water getting closer and closer, Captain Yoshida was anxious, thinking that if he couldn't deal with these Shina troops who were good at water warfare this time, then he would really commit suicide by disembowelment to thank His Majesty the Emperor.
Yoshida was furious, and ordered the devil artillery squadron behind to concentrate artillery fire, and bombarded the fleet on the fat man's side, and a large number of devil shells roared towards the fat man and his boat, and exploded on the lake, in addition to blowing up a large column of water, it posed a great threat to the brothers of the two platoons who were covering the water ghost brothers.
As soon as the water ghost brothers heard the devil's shelling, they knew that time was running out, so they hurriedly rushed out of the water in the platoon commander's whistle and grabbed the little devil's boat gang, the little devil on the boat hurriedly stabbed the bayonet in his hand towards the brothers, and the water ghost brothers who grabbed the boat gang hurriedly avoided the side, the devil's bayonet pierced into the air, but the body was still rushing forward due to the effect of inertia, and was grabbed by another brother in the water, and took the opportunity to get the grenade hanging from the devil's waist, and pressed the little devil into the lake with one hand, The brother who grabbed the boat gang hurriedly stepped forward and stabbed to death the devil who was still desperately fluttering, and the brother who was holding the grenade opened the grenade fuse, knocked on the devil boat gang, and threw it into the cabin, the two brothers quickly swam a distance outside, and stabbed down a fierce man, just when they just got into the water, the grenade exploded, and the little devils on the small boat were all blown into the air, and the poor boat was divided into pieces of pieces, and they were scattered in Gaoyou Lake.
It was gone in less than a moment.
Seeing this, the ghost ships behind them desperately blocked the lake with machine guns, and several brothers who were destroying the devil boats were shot and killed on the spot, and the red blood stained the clear water of Gaoyou Lake, and their bodies were forever embraced with this land of suffering, and they would never be separated again.
The fat man saw that the water ghost brothers were blocked by the fire of the little devils from all directions, and he was afraid that there would be too many casualties, so he hurriedly ordered these brothers to retreat quickly, and at the same time ordered Zhang Ercheng of the artillery battalion: "Zhang Ercheng, you quickly open artillery to cover the brothers in the water, and then withdraw after the cannonballs at hand are exhausted."
Of course, Zhang Ercheng also saw the scene of the brothers in the water being hit by the little devil machine guns, and after listening to the fat man's words, he immediately issued a salvo artillery bombardment order for his subordinates, so a row of large and small shells bombarded the devil ships behind, and the split head was a row of smoke bombs, so as to cover the shooting sight of the little devils, and the brothers who were covering in the water retreated, followed by a row of blasting bombs, which rumbled so that those little devil ships did not dare to risk rushing to this side, The brothers, who were dodging the bullets of the devils in the water, were able to dive into the water and swam towards the brothers.
Taking advantage of Zhang Ercheng's shelling, the fat man quickly ordered the brothers of the two platoons to concentrate their firepower on the devil's side, causing a situation of about to launch a fierce attack on the devil, the captain of the devil Yoshida was surprised when he saw that the Chinese army was advancing instead of retreating in the artillery fire, and was afraid that the artillery fire behind would accidentally injure his soldiers, so he hurriedly ordered the devil artillery to stop firing, and the devil's fleet formed a defensive position, and blocked these Chinese troops with machine gun fire on the bow of the ship.
The fat man saw that the little devil's fleet formed a line of defensive posture, and felt that his feint attack had been achieved, so he immediately pulled out the signal gun on his waist and fired a red signal flare into the sky, and then the bugle soldier behind the fat man blew the retreating military horn, and the little devil on the opposite side didn't understand for a while what kind of military horn they were blowing, and thought that the fat man and they were rushing up with great momentum, and they were going to make a big charge, so they hurriedly ordered the devil's ships to closely watch the movements of the opposite branch army, and not to attack without authorization, so as not to fall into the big deal of the cunning and cunning Shina people.
The fat man immediately ordered Zhang Ercheng: "Quick, put a smoke bomb on the devils for me, it's better to cover the devils' ships tightly, we are going to start retreating."
Zhang Ercheng didn't say a word, and immediately asked his artillery brothers to immediately load the smoke bombs, with a "tom" sound, the fat man saw smoke rising around the devil's ship on the opposite side, the smoke was getting bigger and bigger, and the little devil's ship was just covered tightly, and now we can retreat boldly and boldly.
So these broken brothers alternately covered each other and withdrew from the water position in the southwest direction of Gaoyou Lake, and when the captain Yoshida came back to his senses and shouted for the devils to rush into Gaoyou Lake, the fat man and they had already run to the center of the lake, and Huang Shuisheng, who was waiting to meet them, changed into a big boat and quickly evacuated to the northwest, at this time it was the height of summer, the southeast wind was very urgent, Huang Shuisheng's big boat ran fast, and it flew straight to the northwest, so angry that the Yoshida captain who caught up behind stomped his feet and scolded, I almost asked one of Pease's devil soldiers to relieve my hatred.
The commander of the Devil Brigade then rushed to the center of Gaoyou Lake, he looked at the people going to the empty cottage in the middle of the lake, and said to the crazy Captain Yoshida: "Yoshida-kun, I don't think you need to judge yourself to thank His Majesty the Emperor, two brigades of more than 1,000 imperial troops plus artillery squadrons and aviation aircraft fire support, you can't destroy the only 100 or so people of the Chinese Army, you are the shame of our Great Japanese Imperial Army, you are not worthy of suicide, someone will escort Yoshida and send it to the Nanjing Dispatch Army Headquarters, Let His Royal Highness clean up your stupid and arrogant fellow."
At this time, a staff officer next to the commander of the devil brigade stepped forward and said to the brigade commander: "Your Excellency the brigade commander, for the sake of Yoshida-kun's merits in the battle to conquer the city of Nanjing, please wait for the time to write the report, show mercy to your subordinates, and spare Yoshida-kun's life, even if he is expelled from the army and sent back to his hometown in Japan." ” Originally, the commander of the devil brigade was furious, and he wanted to kill this stupid and arrogant Yoshida immediately, but after listening to the words of the devil's staff officer, he felt that it made sense, you must know that in the devil's army, the position of this staff officer is quite important, and he can even participate in major military decisions, so the general military supervisor will consider the words of these staff officers, so as not to be caught by these guys in pigtails one day. t1706231537:
