After they boarded the gunboat, they found a problem, there were too many brothers loaded on the gunboat, and if they drove over like this, the speed was not good, and they would definitely have to be caught up by other Kuomintang warships on the river. ” Ge Sanmin thought about it and made sense, the small-tonnage gunboat really couldn't fit so many brothers, not to mention that there were those Kuomintang prisoners on board, and a large number of people would inevitably slow down the speed of crossing the river, which was a fatal problem, so he agreed with Lao Chang's suggestion, and he took hundreds of brothers to drive small gunboats in front of the road, and Lao Chang and they continued to follow closely in small boats.
In this way, Ge Sanmin's gunboat took the lead in front, and often their small boat followed closely behind and rushed towards the opposite riverbank, the river was very wide, seven or eight miles, Ge Sanmin was driving across the center of the river, and suddenly there was a sound behind them Ge Sanmin hurriedly used his binoculars to look behind by the light of the searchlight, and sure enough, two large warships of the Kuomintang Navy were rushing towards the gunboat by storm, one on the left and the other on the left, looking at the meaning of wanting to make dumplings for the gunboat, Ge Sanmin couldn't understand that there was no flaw on his side, how did those Kuomintang warships know that this gunboat was controlled by us It's no wonder that Ge Sanmin didn't understand, it was really because after the officer of the Kuomintang Navy on the other side went back to the cabin, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the gunboat, as for what was wrong, he couldn't say it, so he ordered his naval communications soldiers to call the gunboat by radio, and it happened that at this moment Ge Sanmin was busy on the gunboat to answer the old time they boarded the ship, and they didn't have time to answer the radio call, and the Kuomintang prisoners on the gunboat were all concentrated on the deck, I didn't notice that there was a radio call from the warship behind them, so Ge Sanmin and they neglected this key detail, which caused the officers on the Kuomintang warship to be puzzled, and decided to rush up and get closer to see what was going on with the gunboat, and even ignored the radio call, looking at the lights on the deck, it was still normal, why didn't you react to the radio call, there must be a reason, go up and take a look The two warships chased after each other and asked the gunboats in flag language what was going on and why they did not respond to radio calls Ge Sanmin on the gunboat side is not Huang Shuisheng, he didn't know that there was this set of things on the gunboat, and he didn't pay attention to what the colorful flags on the Kuomintang warships were waving, and thought that those Kuomintang naval sailors were performing some activities, so he just drove the gunboat towards the north bank of the river, and then the gunboat officer who was captured saw the flag on the warship, and hurriedly shouted to Ge Sanmin: "Long...
Sir, the warship in the back is asking us about this ship."
"Ah, why didn't I hear it, are you kid going to play some tricks, be honest with me, don't be silent" Ge Sanmin thought that this Kuomintang naval officer was playing tricks, and hurriedly scolded.
"Ge Sanmin, I see that the situation is not right, and the warship that catches up behind is greeting us with flags and lights."
Lao Ye had spent some time on the warship of the Guangdong Navy with the old commander during the Guangdong period, and he knew this light code and flag language, and when he heard the captured officer speak, he hurriedly reminded Ge Sanmin.
"Ah, then why didn't you say it earlier" Ge Sanmin roared at the captured officer.
"I just saw it, too."
The captured officer looked aggrieved.
"Quick, go and respond to them" Ge Sanmin pushed the officer.
Just when the captured officer and the captured soldiers were about to use the lights to respond to the inquiry of the Kuomintang warship that was catching up behind, suddenly, Ge Sanmin saw a dazzling light flashing on the deck of the warship behind him, and he hurriedly shouted to Lao Ye and them: "Lie down quickly" Before the words fell, only a loud "boom" was heard, and a naval artillery shell had exploded in the river next to the gunboat, blowing up a huge column of water that soared to the sky, and the water waves surged onto the deck of the gunboat, drenching Ge Sanmin and them in a mess.
The enemy opened fire, Ge Sanmin's heart sank suddenly, this is a bad thing, the warships and ships that caught up behind are strong, where can these small boats withstand the bombardment of their cannons, one shot hits the gunboat, it is not a matter of fragmentation Ge Sanmin hurriedly ordered the gunboat to speed up and run towards the opposite bank, trying to break free from the pursuit of the warships behind at speed, as long as they ran to the opposite bank, they could get the support of the fat man, and they could not beat the enemy's warship artillery on the river, and on the shore it was the world of our independent brigade.
But Ge Sanmin thought too simply, the speed of the guns on the Kuomintang warships can run faster than your small gunboats, and when those warships saw that the small gunboats in front of them not only did not stop, but ran faster, they immediately decided that something was wrong with the small gunboat in front, and hurriedly another burst of artillery fire came over, and the shells "kicked and crackled" around the gunboat, and exploded one after another high columns of water, and the huge waves set off by the air waves shook the gunboats from side to side, almost overturning When they arrived in the river, Ge Sanmin and the others vomited a mess, and the cabin was a mess.
Ge Sanmin hurriedly shouted to those brothers: "Hurry up and shoot back" Ge Sanmin's brothers ran to the gunboat emplacement, loaded the shells and opened fire on the Kuomintang warships that were catching up behind, but due to the severe turbulence of the hull, the shells fell into the water, and had no effect except to blow up a mass of water.
Ge Sanmin was anxious, his gunboat was bitten by the Kuomintang warships, and he couldn't escape, and the small boats behind him were about to suffer disasters, and it seemed that his life was about to rest on the rough Yangtze River, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it.
Just when Ge Sanmin felt desperate, the fat man in ambush on the opposite bank knew when the Kuomintang warship fired the first naval gun that Ge Sanmin and they were in big trouble, and hurriedly ordered a few mortars brought to fire at the big warships on the river, attracting the enemy's naval artillery fire to his side, and covering Ge Sanmin and their retreat towards the shore The mortars opened fire, and the shells exploded around the enemy warship, and at the beginning the enemy's big warship didn't care about these small mortars coming from the shore, even if these mortar shells hit the warship, they couldn't make much movement, and how thick the steel armor was wrapped around the warship, and the mortar shells smashed up, at most, it was just a shallow pit, and it was no big deal.
However, the Kuomintang naval officer on the warship did not think so, and he found that those mortars were fired from the land on the north bank, which showed that these small boats in front of them still had accomplices on the other side to pick up the big fish, and this Kuomintang naval officer was eager to seek merit, and hurriedly ordered his naval guns to immediately turn their guns and bombard the mortar firing points on the north bank.
The guns on the warship all hit the fat man's position, and the "booming" explosion resounded in the reeds on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the flames and black smoke that exploded enveloped the north bank, and a large-caliber cannonball fell next to the fat man, almost throwing him up high, so angry that the fat man scolded: "Damn, if Lao Tzu had a mountain cannon, he would have to blow up and sink those warships."
When Ge Sanmin saw that the guns on the warship turned their guns and bombarded the shore, he knew that it was the fat man who was lying in ambush on the north shore and they had attracted the firepower, so he ordered the Kuomintang prisoners on the ship: "If you want to live, hurry up and rush to the shore with full horsepower."
Before the words fell, the gunboat "boomed" and rushed up to the north bank like a bison, and the old people behind them were also rowing desperately, closely following the gunboat towards the north bank of the river, at this moment it was a race against time, only before the guns of those warships turned their guns, they could run to the shore and survive, otherwise they would have to be bombarded by the guns of the ships and sink to the bottom of the river to feed the fish As soon as the guns and cannons on the Yangtze River sounded, a large number of other Kuomintang ships patrolling the river immediately attracted a large number of other Kuomintang ships patrolling the river, and they all surrounded Ge Sanmin and them, Ge Sanmin could not care about stopping those Kuomintang ships at this moment, so he had to urge the gunboats to speed up their horsepower and rush to the north bank, and the Kuomintang prisoners who drove the boats had no choice but to drive the speed to the fastest stop, and the gunboats rushed away like the wind on the river, saying that the boat trotted fast, and this was true, and slowly the Kuomintang warships behind could not catch up.
It can only be bombarded with naval artillery, but it is not easy to hit a few small boats running fast and crazy on the rolling waves of the Yangtze River, and the odds are as small as buying a lottery ticket and winning the first prize.
After a period of wild running, Ge Sanmin and they finally ran to the shore, hurriedly got off the boat and went ashore, the fat man and they were on the position to attract the fire of the naval guns on the river, there were already a lot of brothers on the position who were killed by shells, and there were really a lot of brothers who were injured, Ge Sanmin saw that the brothers of a group had paid so much price in order to meet him, and he felt very sorry, and hurriedly found the fat man, and said to him: "Lao Liu, we have crossed the river, and we will cut off this position.
You take Station Master Ye and they quickly retreat."
When the fat man heard this, after Ge Sanmin came to break off, he hurriedly shook his head: "Ge Sanmin, that's not good, the brigade sent us a group to meet you, you have few people, and you can resist the enemy's attack after the break Since you are all here, I don't think you should stay here, let's quickly retreat Besides, there are a large number of Kuomintang recalcitrant troops in Huai'an, and it seems that we have to fight with the Kuomintang army again." ” t1706231537:
