Sure enough, when the smoke surrounding the small gunboat gradually dissipated, the glare of the high-power searchlight shook in this direction again, and then the cannonballs from the big gunboats of the two devils behind them "clanged", and exploded one or two hundred meters away from Ding Ning's small gunboat, setting off a high column of water.
The roaring waves drenched all the brothers on the deck, and seeing that the devil's shelling was getting more and more correct, Ding Ning hurriedly shouted to the brothers behind: "Brothers, prepare to abandon ship, find out all the life jackets in the cabin, and change them into the wounded brothers and Lao Shen."
Ding Ning saw that the situation was urgent, so he had to give the order to abandon the ship, so that at least he could not be hit by the shells of the little devils, and he could survive a few more brothers.
When the fat man heard that Ding Ning wanted them to abandon the ship, his head shook like a rattle, and he resolutely disagreed: "Chief of Staff, what are you afraid of, in such a dark night, it is not easy for the little devil to hit our small boat, I just estimated, we are only two or three miles away from the little devil, as long as there are weapons beyond this range to blind the two dangling searchlights, the little devil will not have a problem even if he has a cannon." ” As soon as Ding Ning heard the fat man's words, he suddenly remembered that there was a heavy machine gun on this gunboat, and hurriedly said: "Fatty, you go and see the heavy machine gun, it should be able to shoot flat, it is estimated that this range is still almost there, I ordered the brothers to step up rowing and lean towards the little devil, the closer the distance, the more difficult their cannon is, as long as it is close to the devil's gunboat within a certain distance, the devil's large-caliber cannon is impossible to fire due to the shooting dead angle, then we can use the machine gun on the gunboat to directly hit the devil's gunboat, What do you think?"
Ding Ning was in a hurry, and suddenly came up with a trick of using a small gunboat to fight a bayonet with a devil's big gunboat, and was forced to do this by the devil, there was no way to do it, if it didn't work, take the risk and try it, it would be better than lying in this old place.
As soon as the fat man heard Ding Ning's plan, he immediately applauded: "The chief of staff has a really bright brain, yes, why didn't I think of this trick, yes, just like this, we took advantage of the cover of the night and darkness, quietly touched it, and blinded me with those two searchlights first, so I can't help the little devils to run rampant, hey, now if the aquatic brothers are here, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to deal with those two devil gunboats?"
At the moment when Ding Ning's small gunboat was lying on the south bank of Hongze Lake because it ran out of fuel, Huang Shuisheng and his brothers from the spy group had already rushed to the south bank, and they also got a dozen or so small wooden boats from the surrounding villages, which were not big, but each could carry five or six brothers.
For Huang Shuisheng, who are accustomed to water warfare, the small number of boats is not a problem, they can sink the boats of the little devils who are docked near the shore without even using a boat, and they don't want to think about what roles they played in Gaoyou Lake back then, they are all "white stripes in the waves" general characters.
Since joining the New Fourth Army, it has been a few days since I have fought with the little devils in the water, and now I see that the opportunity has come, and the brothers of the special service group are all gearing up, ready to wait for the boats that catch the little devils in the lake to do a big job, and not to turn this Hongze Lake upside down, and let those little devils and the puppet army and the two dogs of the puppet army see that the independent brigade water warfare elites who were dominant in Gaoyou Lake have returned.
Huang Shuisheng and the others had just tinkered with the boat on the shore, only to hear the sound of a cannonball explosion in the lake.
Except for the devil who has such a large-caliber cannon, there are other guys who can't take out such a powerful guy, that is, the surface teams of the Kuomintang diehards around them, who have already climbed ashore to do infantry, and it is impossible to have this kind of artillery.
As for those miscellaneous anti-Japanese armed forces and bandits and bandits, not to mention, not to mention that there are such large-caliber cannons, even if they are given two heavy machine guns, it is estimated that they will have to be happy for a few days, where will they be willing to take them out Huang Shuisheng heard that something was wrong with the cannon, and hurriedly picked up the telescope and looked at the center of the lake, but at this time the sky had darkened, and the vision was not very good, coupled with the distance, Shui Sheng looked at it for a long time and didn't find any movement over there.
Uneasy, he ordered his three brothers to hurry to the place where the cannon was supposed to be heard and see what was happening in the lake.
Huang Shuisheng didn't know that Ding Ning and the fat man had rescued people now, and they were lying on their stomachs over there to suffer from the shells of the little devils, otherwise he would have rushed over with his brothers regardless of whether they had a boat or not.
I think that during the Battle of Songhu in Shanghai, the chief of staff saved his life, and now that he knows that Ding Ning is in trouble, Huang Shuisheng can not rush over The three brothers sent out were all good hands in the Gaoyou Lake cottage, and they followed Huang Shuisheng to the side of the New Fourth Army, and their underwater skills were quite good, and they immediately drove a small clipper towards the lake.
At this time, the wind direction happened to be tight in the southwest, and the boat took advantage of the wind to move very fast, and after a while, it sailed out of the distance, watching the small boat quickly disappear into the darkness, Huang Shuisheng not only thought in his heart, who would fight those devils in this lake at this time The three brothers who sailed the boat soon sailed several miles away, and their captain Huang Shuisheng gave them his telescope, asking them to keep an eye on the lake and report it as soon as there was a situation.
These brothers who are accustomed to being active on Gaoyou Lake have very sharp eyes, although they are in the dark night, they can actually detect the small movement on the lake in front of them with the faint moonlight, with this telescope, it is much more convenient.
Soon the brother who was in charge of observing with a telescope discovered the situation in front of him, he first saw a devil's small gunboat lying there still and behind it there were two devil gunboats twice as big as this gunboat were firing at it, in the afterglow of the searchlight, he saw the gunfire flashing from the muzzle of the devil's gunboat, and he wondered, why did this devil fight his own people, could it be that the small gunboat in front of him was our people The brother who observed the situation carefully adjusted the telescope again, and suddenly he saw a very familiar short and fat figure in the afterglow of the artillery fire from the devil, and immediately understood, isn't this the head of the regiment Liu That's right, it's him, his figure is absolutely right, it seems that Captain Liu and they robbed a small gunboat of the devil and ran over, and was bitten by the devil's big gunboat behind, otherwise with the usual style of Commander Liu, he would be so honest and let the devil bully The brother who observed the situation hurriedly told the brother in the lead what he saw, and the leader was a company commander, surnamed Gu, who was also an old subordinate of Huang Shuisheng in Gaoyou Lake.
Sure enough, the fat man's short and fat figure was busy over there, although they were still wearing the yellow uniform of the devil, but this Gu Company Commander recognized at a glance that the guy walking back and forth on the deck was the fat man.
Company Commander Gu immediately said to the other two brothers: "Now we have found the chief of staff, Lao Lu, you quickly send a signal to inform the regiment commander of them, we will not go back, quickly lean over and meet the chief of staff, although there are only three of us, but at this time, it is better than anything else." ” The person in charge of observing the situation was called Lao Lu, and I saw that he immediately pulled out the signal gun from his waist, loaded it with a red signal flare, and fired a shot into the sky, and a red signal flare like a small lantern suddenly rose in the dark night sky, illuminating most of the surrounding waters.
The fat man was the first to see the red signal flare that was rising, he looked at the signal flare, he was very happy, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Chief of Staff, we don't have to abandon the ship and swim in the water, you see, the red signal flare must have been sent by our brigade to meet us."
Ding Ning hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, a signal flare rose high in the night sky, the color was red, it looked like a small lantern hanging in the sky, and it was slowly falling down with flashing eyes, and he saw that there was a signal flare rising at this time.
He hurriedly ordered his brothers to suspend abandoning the ship, but the life jackets had to be put on by the wounded brothers and Lao Shen, in case they would fight with the little devil later, and they would also be prepared.
Soon, Company Commander Gu and the others leaned near the small gunboat, and the fat man recognized the Gu Company Commander of the Huang Shuisheng Special Service Group, and hurriedly pulled the three brothers onto the gunboat.
"Old Gu, where is your regiment leader now, we are all about to be almost sunk by the artillery fire of the little devils."
"Report to Regiment Commander Liu, we were sent by Regiment Commander Huang to reconnoiter the situation, and the signal flare just now was our contact code with the regiment commander, and it is estimated that the regiment commander has already rushed over with his brothers at this time."
Lao Gu replied.
"Okay, it's good to come over, or you Captain Huang is righteous enough to rush over to pick us up, then how do you know that we are here" The fat man asked.
"It was our brigade that arranged it after receiving the news that you were taking people to Huai'an City, this time not only all of our special service groups were dispatched, but also the first and second regiments, and they all came, the first regiment was on our side, not far from us, and Regiment Commander Ge and they are estimated to be about to fight under Huai'an City now."
Lao Ding finally understood at this time, why those chasing little devils suddenly gave up the attack halfway and evacuated to Huai'an City, it turned out that it was Ge Sanmin who launched an attack on Huai'an City, no wonder the little devils and the puppet army had no intention of fighting.
Thinking that Zhou Wu actually dispatched a large unit of the Independent Brigade in order to meet him, this was the largest independent travel movement since joining the New Fourth Army, it can be seen that Zhou Wu was also under considerable pressure.
Once there is an accident or there are any major casualties in the Independent Brigade, then Zhou Wu will definitely not escape the blame, Ding Ning feels that he is indeed a little impulsive this time, for the sake of his father-in-law, he made such a big move, so that the entire Independent Brigade was dispatched, he felt a little sorry for Zhou Wu.
Political commissar Lao Niu should have no problem, he should support this operation, but if the matter is too big, there is no guarantee that the superiors will not know about this matter, and if a few more villains jump out at that time, then Zhou Wu will have to suffer, at least one charge of conniving at his subordinates to act without authorization will definitely not be able to escape. t1706231537:
