They adjusted their angle slightly and started shooting wildly at the water bandits and speedboats on the lake.

"Dong dong...dong dong dong..."

The close-in rapid-fire gun is a multi-barreled machine gun with a 30mm caliber. Its rate of fire can catch up with ordinary machine guns, or even faster. In just one minute, it fired more than two hundred small shells.

"Dong dong...dong dong dong..."

The 30mm caliber small artillery shells hit the lake like hail, and several speedboats that failed to escape in time were directly sunk.

What was even more unlucky was that the water bandits struggling on the lake became targets of heavy machine guns. They were beaten into pieces and scattered across the lake, turning the entire surrounding lake red.

"Run away quickly, this warship is too evil..."

The gangsters on the speedboat were running frantically for their lives, and no one could care about anyone else.

At this time, the lake was in a mess. The exploded speedboat was burning, and some wreckage slowly sank to the bottom of the lake. The leaked fuel was still burning on the lake, illuminating the surrounding area red.

The severed limbs and arms of the water bandits and the red-dyed lake water fell into the eyes of the crew of the Orchid.

The lake is like a large slaughterhouse, more like a Shura hell, constantly harvesting the lives of these gangsters.

I don't know which bandit ship was the first to hoist the white flag.

Miraculously, the bandit ship with the white flag was not attacked for a moment. When the other bandit ships saw it, they immediately followed suit and all raised their white flags.

"We have surrendered. All the water bandits have surrendered. Major General, what should we do?!" The deacon excitedly ran into the command cabin and reported to Chen Tianhua, who was watching the sand table of the entire Dongting Lake terrain.

"Inform the Marines on the ship to lower the speedboat and bring all the surrendered bandits onto the ship and escort them to the front deck. I need to confirm something!"

Chen Tianhua replied without raising his head. At this moment, he squinted his eyes and was thinking about his next action plan.

Damn it, this Yunze gang dares to betray their trust and unilaterally tear up the non-aggression treaty between the two sides. How dare they betray their ancestors just because of the inducements and gifts of weapons and equipment from the Japanese?

They even used large gunboats to besiege the Fengzhong mining cargo ship, and almost succeeded twice. It really cost money rather than life!

A bunch of shameless fools!

I need to scare the monkeys and severely punish this group of water bandits who dare to rob my escorted cargo ship! Let all the water bandits on Dongting Lake understand that Fengzhong Mining is not something to be trifled with, and Fengzhong Mining’s fleet cannot charge high protection fees at will, let alone

You can’t intercept the lake and rob it!

And it must be done cleanly and neatly, so that all gangsters will know the tragic consequences of going against Fengzhong Mining!

"Deacon, order all the military doctors on board to take speedboats to the Orchid to visit and treat the wounded. The seriously injured will be brought to the Blood Wolf. By the way, I will pick up the commander of the Orchid's convoy."

"It's...Major General!"

The accompanying deacon moved out of the command cabin to make arrangements.

By the way, the Orchid cargo ship here has seen that the water bandits have subsided, so it has to busy itself with its own affairs.

"Captain, I think it's best for us to send people to repair the oars and repair the five trailer barges stranded in the shallow lake. We can set out early and deliver the goods in time to minimize losses."

The first mate was standing by to remind him.

After the bearded captain calmed down, he nodded and said: "Okay, what you said makes sense, hurry up and make arrangements!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately directed the chief engineer to lead people to repair the oars, while the first mate put down two speedboats, took eight crew members and ship repair materials and tools and set off to the shallows of the lake a few kilometers away to find the water.

The bandits stranded five large barges there.

Fellay led ten lightly injured convoy members and followed closely in two captured pirate speedboats.

The seven or eight water bandits who were originally guarding five large barges saw that their large troops were beaten to pieces. If they had the intention to guard these barges, they would have fled in speedboats.

Seeing that their crew members finally came back to look for them, the captains on the barge crawled out of the helm tremblingly and burst into tears when they saw the people.

First, the bodies of the ten dead escort team members were cleaned up, and then transported to a high place in the shoal. Holes were dug to bury the team members one by one. They were engraved with wooden tablets and took photos for preservation. These photos will be included in the Martyrs' Shrine in the Meiguang Autonomous Region in the future.

, set up a tablet to transcend.

Fellay ordered everyone to line up and fire guns to see off his comrades.

Afterwards, everyone worked together to temporarily repair the damaged ship, shoveled half of the coal out of the barge, and spread it to the other four barges to lower the waterline.

The conversation was split, and the engineer was ordered to take four crew members to the stern of the ship to inspect the propeller.

The paddle is entangled in the fishing net. Under normal circumstances, the entangled fishing net needs to be cut open with a sharp blade, and then manually rotated to check one by one.

If the paddle is found to be broken, the damaged blade needs to be replaced.

However, these are situations that are often encountered. The ships are equipped with accessories and most of the crew can deal with them, so it does not take long to repair the ship.

Mainly for barge repair, it takes at least a whole day to dry the tung oil. If there is not enough sunlight, it needs to be dried by fire.

Therefore, the bearded captain simply ordered to anchor in place and rest for a day, so that everyone could clean the ship, especially the blood stains on the deck. The escort members just needed medical treatment.

Speaking of the Blood Wolf gunboat, Captain Lang and others are receiving prisoners.

A total of six speedboats and one fishing boat were captured, with a total of more than 30 water bandits.

Originally, the Yunze Gang led by the Fifth Master was directly under the Navy and had only two armed fishing boats, more than 20 speedboats, and more than 150 gangsters participating in intercepting the boats.

The large gunboats No. 1 and 2 were just holding the formation and did not participate in the actual battle. They fired a few cannons, blew up the cables of the barges, and then returned to the port.

However, as the battle to intercept the ship continued, more and more gangs observing the surrounding areas joined in, wanting to contribute to the ship hijacking process.

Therefore, thirty speedboats and three armed fishing boats joined in, and there were actually 350 gangsters involved in the battle.

Together with the two large gunboats that returned later, this ship-hijacking operation can be said to be on a large scale, and Xiao Longwang spent a lot of money on it.

If the Blood Wolf had not arrived in time, I am afraid that the Orchid cargo ship would have suffered heavy losses, and even sunk and killed people. Fengzhong Mining's reputation and economy would have been greatly affected and suffered huge losses.

In addition to the ships that were sunk by artillery fire and the bandits that were blown up and killed, some luckier ships and personnel escaped.

The captured water bandits were tied together and taken one by one onto the Blood Wolf, huddled on the deck.

"Okay everyone, I have a few questions to ask you. As long as you answer them correctly, I won't kill you! What do you think?"
