At this time, the mudflats of Yancheng Port were mixed up, a large number of Kuomintang marines had landed ashore, a group of brothers in ambush in the reeds had already rushed to the enemy warships docked in the open sea in light boats, the four modified gunboats led by Huang Shuisheng were approaching the enemy ships at high speed, the guns near Yancheng Port were loud, the soldiers on both sides fought fiercely on the beaches and the sea, and the naval guns of the warships continued to bombard the tidal flat positions to cover the Kuomintang marines who landed ashore.
And those brothers of the second regiment under Huang Shuisheng who were sticking to the position on the tidal flats were braving intensive artillery fire, using the light weapons in their hands to resist the enemy soldiers rushing up from the tidal flats, and the brothers on the position were constantly shot and fell, shrapnel flew everywhere, and the whistling sound was endless, and it was not a safe place anywhere, and at this moment only by fighting to the death to repel the enemy marines who rushed up to the beach, the brothers of the second regiment could have a chance to live, and the brothers on the position were under the command of the commander of the second regiment.
The defense was organized in an orderly manner, and most of the Kuomintang marines who rushed up rushed to a place about a hundred meters away from the position, and were knocked to the ground by a sudden rain of bullets shot from the position, and rolled down downwards with a "grunt".
The tidal flats are full of the corpses of these enemy soldiers, all kinds of severed limbs and wreckage scattered around, screams, wails and the curses of those Kuomintang officers are intertwined, and the ubiquitous, everywhere gunfire constitutes a fierce battle symphony on the tidal flats, the battle is very fierce, the attacking Kuomintang troops rely on the fire support of the naval guns behind, under the urging of those officers wielding Browning pistols, a large number of infantry wearing khaki uniforms hold the blue sky and white sun flag howling and rushing towards the tidal flat position, The brothers of the Second Regiment of the New Fourth Army guarding the position were desperately holding on, and the machine gunners on the position fell down, and immediately an infantry took the machine gun that had been hot, and continued to shoot at the enemy soldiers rushing on the beach, and there were corpses that fell from the bullets everywhere, and there were mud and smoke from the explosion of the shells everywhere, and some of the brothers who were unfortunately directly blown up by the shells could not even find the corpses, and the bloody and fleshy severed limbs and wreckage were scattered around the position, and the blood was mixed with the salt water on the tidal flats.
Gradually, it converged into a red stream, trickling towards the sea.
These red liquids flowing on the tidal flats, including those soldiers of the New Fourth Army guarding the positions and those Kuomintang marines who rushed up, are all Chinese, who should have shaken hands and made peace and jointly build New China, but now they are fighting desperately on this tidal flat, so that blood is flowing like rivers and it is unbearable On the sea, Huang Shuisheng's four modified gunboats were bombarding the largest warship on the opposite side with intensive firepower, this is a large destroyer, it is estimated that the Kuomintang army received it from the surrendered little devils, after encountering the fire of Huang Shuisheng's four gunboats, the naval commander on the ship hurriedly ordered all the naval guns to open fire to intercept these gunboats rushing towards the warship But at this time, Huang Shuisheng's four gunboats were almost rushed to a place only one or two kilometers away from the enemy ship, and the large-caliber naval guns on the warship could not bombard the gunboat due to the limitation of the firing angle, and the enemy could only use the secondary guns and machine guns on the side of the ship to shoot, although the fire was intensive, but it hit the gunboat that had been modified by Huang Shuisheng, and it had no effect at all, Lao Huang installed a layer of iron plate on the outside of the gunboat, and the bullets hit the iron plate, except for bursting sparks and clanging sounds, almost no damage to the gunboat.
Lao Huang saw that the enemy warship was so arrogant, because of the strong wind and waves on the sea, his gunboats were small in tonnage, always swaying from side to side, and the mountain guns on the bow could not hit the enemy's warships The mountain artillery shells smashed on the deck of the enemy ship and exploded violently, immediately blowing up the Kuomintang naval sailors on the deck and falling into the water.
The enemy ship immediately began to turn and maneuver, the bow of the ship hurriedly turned around towards the open sea, and the weapons on the side of the ship were even more crazy and splashed at the four gunboats of Huang Shuisheng, hitting the iron plates outside the gunboat, clanging, Huang Shuisheng saw that the mountain cannon could finally smash the enemy ship, so he hurriedly waved the signal flag in his hand, and a large number of water ghost brothers jumped into the sea "poof", and swam towards the enemy ship like a small shark under the water.
Now the enemy warships are busy, here are four gunboats swarming up, there are more than 100 light boats rushing over, the naval guns can't hit, the small cannons and machine guns can't knock out these small boats that are winding and rushing over on the water, and a large number of soldiers swim over on the sea, what to do The enemy commander saw that the situation was not right, hurriedly took out his housekeeping skills, and shouted to his soldiers: "Retreat at full speed" In order to escape for their lives, these Kuomintang warships even didn't care about the marines who had landed on the shore, and they turned around and ran towards the open sea, these guys didn't have any other skills, and the escape level was not bad, and they drove at full speed after a while, scrambling, you chased me and ran towards the open sea, after all, a group of brothers was on a small manpower boat, where could they catch up, they could only watch the enemy warships run to the south, and the mortars on the small boats immediately couldn't hit those enemy ships, and fell into the water, It doesn't do much except for blowing up a large column of water.
The commander of the first regiment immediately ordered his subordinates to stop the pursuit, immediately return, and flank the brothers of the second regiment on the tidal flats, and wiped out all the Kuomintang marines who had landed on the shore Huang Shuisheng on the gunboat saw that the enemy warship was about to run, so he ordered his men to chase after it at full speed, the gunboat was converted from a small steamer, although the size was not large, but the speed was good, the brothers drove full horsepower to desperately catch up with the enemy ship, and the mountain artillery tightly bit the enemy ship and bombarded it, blowing up the two enemy ships behind it in thick smoke, and was shot a lot, and the commander of the enemy ship was even more frightened, and loudly urged his subordinates to maneuver to avoid the shells coming from behind, and the sailors on the ship shouted and screamed, embarrassed.
But the small gunboat is a small gunboat after all, after chasing for a while, slowly unable to catch up with the enemy ships in front, a few of them even appeared to burn down with power, Huang Shuisheng looked at it, this is not good, can not let these gunboats be destroyed in his own hands like this, anyway, those enemy ships were also driven out by themselves, and they did not dare to come back for a while, just now to return, they can go up from the mouth of the sea, and use gunboat fire to support the brothers of the second regiment of the Kuomintang Marine Corps who are landing with them Huang Shuisheng immediately turned around and returned with four gunboats, and the two gunboats with power failure were dragged back by the gunboats in front of him, and at this moment, in the southeast sky, a group of planes painted with the blue sky and white sun emblem suddenly appeared under the clouds But apparently it was too late, the Kuomintang army planes in the air howled and swooped down towards the gunboat, and the machine gun shells spilled down, hitting the sea around Huang Shuisheng's gunboat, the water splashed, sparks, and the iron plate outside the gunboat could not block these shells shot down from the plane, and several of Huang Shuisheng's brothers were pierced by the machine guns on the spot, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
Immediately afterwards, the huge aerial bomb screamed and fell from the overhead, "boom" exploded on the sea, the huge air wave was like an invisible giant hand pulled the water column into the sky, forming a cockcomb shape at the top of the water column, the shock wave then turned into a huge wave, rolling over, almost overturning the gunboat that Huang Shuisheng was riding, the brothers on the ship had no time to dodge, all of them were drenched by the huge waves, and Huang Shuisheng was suddenly overturned on the deck by this air wave.
Almost slid into the sea.
Where did Huang Shuisheng suffer this kind of loss, thinking that in Gaoyou Lake and Hongze Lake back then, it was the world of him and those water ghost brothers, but he never thought that today he was embarrassed by the planes of the Kuomintang Air Force in the sea of Yancheng, and he almost had to swim in the sea.
Huang Shuisheng roared: "What about the machine guns, why don't you fire and keep it for seeding" Huang Shuisheng's gunboats were originally equipped with Browning light machine guns, which were intended to be used to deal with small boats and air targets, at this time Huang Shuisheng was almost thrown into the sea by an aircraft bomb, and he was in a very bad mood, and when he found that those machine guns had not yet fired into the air, he hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice.
The brothers hurriedly reported: "Division commander, our machine gun is in the water and can't be hit" "Ah, is there a machine gun that can be fired" Huang Shuisheng heard this, and "chuckled" in his heart, thinking that it was over, if the machine gun used for air defense could not be fired, then we would have to stay in this sea today, there was still some distance from the shore, and the Kuomintang planes overhead were still circling and diving, and they had only one way to go, that is, to drive at full speed and run desperately towards the shore Finally, a few machine guns began to shoot at the enemy planes in the sky, and the gunboats once again drove at full speed, dragging the two gunboats behind them that had broken their power and ran like crazy towards the shore of the tidal flats. t1706231537:
