The observation brothers under his command saw that the white flag was hung on the warship of the foreign devils, and hurriedly asked Zhang Ercheng: "Regiment commander, can we still fight?"
When Zhang Ercheng heard this, he hurriedly ordered the brothers of the artillery regiment to immediately stop the shelling, their task had basically been completed, and the rest of the things were cleaned up by Huang Shuisheng, the newly formed water warfare division.
The artillery of the artillery regiment has already beaten the foreign devils to pull the white flag and admit defeat, according to the general battlefield rules, it should be the naval brothers who should appear.
After receiving Zhou Wu's order for him to immediately attack and intercept the two British warships on the river that were firing at the forward positions of the People's Liberation Army on the river, Huang Shuisheng immediately personally took the gunboats and armed fishing boats and hurriedly launched them from the Jiangbei wharf and rushed over to the British warships on the river.
At the moment when Zhang Ercheng and his artillery regiment were shelling the British warships, Huang Shuisheng and their fleet had already rushed to the side of the wounded British warships, and Huang Shuisheng's lookout brothers, of course, also saw the white pants of the British sailors hanging on the mast, and hurriedly reported to Huang Shuisheng, Huang Shuisheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered the sailors to display the international flag to the two British warships: "You have been surrounded by us, immediately disarm and surrender, otherwise all of them will be sunk" The British sailors saw a large number of gunboats and armed fishing boats suddenly sailing on the river, and there were no identifying marks on the fleet, thinking that they had encountered water bandits, and the captain of the small British warship was a stunned young man, who was dizzy by the PLA artillery on the north bank of the river, unable to move, and hung up the white flag to surrender, of course he was very unhappy, and suddenly found a large number of armed small fishing boats on the Yangtze River calling for him, waving flags to ask him to surrender, this stunned young man thought that he had met a bandit who had come to take advantage of the fire to rob, I was so angry that I didn't fight in one place, I thought: It's really bad luck today, I drink cold water and stuff my teeth, even the water bandits on the Yangtze River have come to take the opportunity to rob us, and we want to disarm and surrender, we hang the white flag to surrender, but not to you water bandits.
This is to blame Huang Shuisheng for not revealing his identity in advance, and when he waved the flag, he did not indicate that he was the naval division of the East China Liberation Army, which angered the British officers, and they immediately turned the muzzle, although the power system of the hull was damaged by Zhang Ercheng's cannon, but the naval guns on the warship could still be changed, so one by one, the large-caliber naval guns quickly turned their muzzles and opened fire on Huang Shuisheng's armed fishing boat A row of shells flew and smashed into the water next to Huang Shuisheng's gunboat fishing boat, blowing up a large column of water that soared into the sky, and the shock wave of the explosion set off a huge wave, almost overturning the gunboat that Huang Shuisheng was riding, so angry that he scolded: "Damn, the foreign devil actually opened fire, all boats pay attention, and immediately attack the foreign devil ship."
Under the command of the flag of the watchman brothers, the gunboats and armed fishing boats scattered one after another, like a group of hungry wolves from all directions towards the two British warships emitting billowing black smoke, although the British naval guns on the ship desperately opened fire to block, but the large-caliber naval guns fired slowly, and it took at least three minutes to aim and fire, and the armed fishing boats that rushed over under the command of Huang Shuisheng's banner, moved back and forth flexibly, and most of the British naval guns and shells smashed on the river, except for smashing up a large column of water, Nothing else worked.
At this time, the observation soldiers of the artillery regiment discovered that the British warships that had been flying the white flag had reopened their artillery bombardment, and Jiang Mian asked Zhang Ercheng: "Regiment commander, the foreign devils have fired again, this time it seems that they are not shooting at us, but at the river." ” When Zhang Ercheng heard this, wasn't he shelling Huang Shuisheng's fleet, this was worth it, hitting Huang Shuisheng's fleet was hitting himself, he hurriedly ordered his brothers in the artillery regiment: "Immediately adjust the position, shoot eight shots urgently, smash them hard for me, smash them" Zhang Ercheng's cannons began to roar again, this time it was lively, the British warship that was killed by the bombing was also smashed to the power system destroyed, unable to move, had to be in the center of the river round and round, panicked British officers only then understood that it was not the bandits who took the opportunity to rob on the river, but the fleet, in order to save their lives, these British had no choice but to hang out the large white flag to Zhang Ercheng's artillery position and Huang Shuisheng's armed fishing boats again, This time it was not white pants, but two white shirts, and the shelling immediately stopped At this moment, Huang Shuisheng's gunboats and armed fishing boats have rushed to a place less than a few hundred meters away from the British warship, just a good beating, never thought that the foreign devils actually hung up the big white flag, and stopped the shelling, Huang Shuisheng thought: First of all, whether you hang the white flag or not, Lao Tzu has already rushed over, beat you first, and then say, just because I didn't see you hang the white flag.
Huang Shuisheng gave an order, gunboats and armed fishing boats opened fire one after another, small cannons and machine guns let out bursts of rage, bullets and shells were like a torrential rain towards the British warship, hitting those British sailors on the deck crying and crying, howling, those British officers on the ship were anxious, thinking that if they continued to fight like this, their warships had to be sunk, so they found a few sailors who could speak Chinese, and shouted at Huang Shuisheng with the ship's loudspeaker: "Sailors, stop fighting, we have surrendered, If you continue to fight, this is against international law."
When Huang Shuisheng heard this, he scolded: "Damn, follow me now; Lao Tzu said what bullshit international law is coming, why didn't you mention that international law when you bullied us Chinese, brothers continue to fight me, sink those warships, I will wait for something to happen" Huang Shuisheng's naval brothers had been waiting for his words for a long time, and now it was lively, gritting their teeth and beating them painfully, the machine guns and mortars were on together, and even the grenades were thrown out, so that the smoke rose from the warship, and the flames soared into the sky, and the British sailors above were killed and wounded, and they threw down lifebuoys on the river and abandoned the boat and jumped into the water to flee for their lives.
At this time, Zhou Wu received a call from Commander Li, asking him to stop attacking the British warships on the river, and the comrades of the Central Foreign Affairs Office would solve the matter in the future After receiving the order for a ceasefire, Zhou Wu immediately called Zhang Ercheng and asked him to stop the bombardment, and at the same time sent a telegram to Huang Shuisheng, who was besieging the British warships on the river, asking him to withdraw immediately Huang Shuisheng was fighting vigorously with the fleet at the moment, and after receiving Zhou Wu's order to withdraw immediately, and wanted to fight for a while, the regiment commander under his command hurriedly persuaded him: "Division commander, let's withdraw quickly, these two foreign devil ships are almost sinking, half dead, let the foreign devils clean up by themselves" As soon as Huang Shuisheng heard that it was okay, he immediately withdrew with the fleet, and the British sailors saw that Huang Shuisheng and their fleet had withdrawn, and they were glad that God blessed, and the force in front of them finally did not sink their warship and retreated, thank God, thank you Virgin Mary Huang Shuisheng and Zhang Ercheng returned to the position and complained to Zhou Wu: "The warship of the foreign devil is about to be sunk, why do you have to withdraw it?"
Zhou Wu also shook his head and sighed: "I received a call from Commander Li, presumably the superiors definitely don't want to make a big deal about it, it will have an adverse impact on our future river crossing operations, we also fought this time, and the anger is also out, I heard that the two British warships were beaten by you and couldn't move, lying in the center of the river, good fight, I want to take credit for you" Huang Shuisheng and Zhang Ercheng smiled when they heard that Zhou Wu was going to give them meritorious service, and in the ranks of the People's Liberation Army, it was quite glorious to receive meritorious service awards, not only did they have face, but even their families in their hometown felt very honored.
The news that Zhou Wu's team beat up the provocative British warship on the river soon spread, Chen Guofu and the heads of other brother troops called to congratulate Zhou Wu, and finally even Xibaipo also sent a congratulatory telegram, praising the fighting will of Zhou Wu's troops, saying that Zhou Wu's team was the first Chinese army to dare to fire on British warships, and this cannon showed that for more than 100 years, the days when we were Chinese bullied by foreigners with strong ships and cannons have finally passed, and we fought well.
It has played the prestige of our Chinese, and it is worth learning well from all units of the PLA When the British ambassador in Nanking heard that two British warships had been beaten by Jiangbei on the Yangtze River and were lying on the center of the river and could not move, he was anxious and hurriedly sent an urgent telegram to London, saying how barbaric Jiangbei was and how it was, and that the two British warships that were cruising normally on the Yangtze River were crippled, and demanded that the British Government immediately send the Far East Fleet to the mouth of the Yangtze River to take punitive revenge The British government at that time was so angry that it immediately demanded that the aircraft carrier squadron of the British Far East Fleet stationed in Hong Kong immediately go north, and issued a statement declaring that their British warships had the right to freely navigate the Yangtze River, and that the PLA's shelling was a deliberate provocation and should be severely punished When the news came, the old Jiang Le, who was hiding in his hometown in Xikou, Fenghua, Zhejiang, thought that the British could help him fight Jiangbei this time, so he hurriedly sent a delegation to find the British ambassador, wanting to join forces with the British to deal with those in Jiangbei who were about to cross the river to attack Nanjing The British are not stupid, although the Far East Fleet stationed in Hong Kong was dispatched, and it also came north towards the Taiwan Strait, but it only turned around and returned to Hong Kong the same way as it was, they did not want to face the confrontation with the imposing People's Liberation Army at this time, although they have advanced warships and aircraft, but they know very well in their hearts, even Lao Mei does not want to interfere, busy withdrawing the embassy from Nanjing, it must be difficult to provoke, they Britain has just finished World War II, and has not recovered its vitality, If you can't come forward and pay for the old Chiang government, which has no cure, a fool will do that kind of thankless and loss-making business t1706231537:
