The operation of Xiao Yi's team went very smoothly. More than sixty Japanese on board the "Arima" were all wiped out without even reacting. Once they took control of the gunboat, Xiao Yi immediately led his men to turn the muzzle of the gun to the left front. A gunboat opened fire violently,
When gunshots rang out on the "Arima", Shanxiong and the others had already started taking action. However, since the distance between the four gunboats was not too far, the sudden gunshots immediately aroused the vigilance of all the Japanese. In this way, the whereabouts of the solo heroes were immediately exposed.
"Enemy attack." Immediately some Japanese howled miserably, and then began to look for weapons in a hurry. As sailors, they were originally equipped with special guns, but since they entered Chinese waters to fight, the sailors have never had the opportunity to use guns, and nearby There were no enemy ships, so these Japanese soldiers did not bring their guns up at all. Except for a few officers on the front and rear decks, including the cab, who were wearing pistols, the other Japanese soldiers were all empty-handed.
The single hero just heard the Japanese shouting "enemy attack" and couldn't help being startled. However, when he discovered the situation at the scene, he couldn't help laughing. He rushed out at the lead, without using the submachine gun, and fired directly with the pistol. First, he killed the Japanese officer holding the gun, and then he stood there carelessly, watching the Japanese soldiers shouting "Eight Squares" rush up to him, and he shot them one by one, knocking them down one by one.
After getting rid of all the Japs on the front deck, Shan Renxiong left one person to help him with the cannon, and put all the others in to kill the enemy. Almost in no particular order, Xiao Yi and others began to bombard the other two Japanese gunboats.
The appearance of the Water Ghost Team was completely beyond the expectations of the Japanese army. When the Japanese on the two gunboats in the middle were horrified, they discovered that right under their noses, in just five minutes, the two gunboats on their side were occupied by the Chinese. Moreover, the naval guns above actually turned their muzzles and fired at themselves. Immediately, the two gunboats fell into chaos.
When the shrill sound of shells breaking through the air sounded, the sailors began to look for hiding places, while the gunners and loaders hurriedly loaded the shells and turned the muzzles to aim at the target. Only then did they remember that these two gunboats It also belongs to the Imperial Japanese Navy. So, should we fight or not?
"Captain, what should we do? Should we fight back?" the gunner asked the captain loudly,
"Ba Ge, that's our own gunboat."
"But, we are just passive..." Before the gunner finished speaking, there was a loud "boom", and a shell hit the front deck accurately. In the explosion, the gunner, including the gunner, Three Japs were blown up into the sky at the same time,
The person who came out of Langya was not only an excellent sniper, but also an excellent gunner and an excellent driver. The caliber of the naval gun was larger than that of the shore gun. However, after two test rounds, the single Renxiong and the others quickly found the feeling, so the nightmare of the Japanese on the other two gunboats came.
"Captain, we must fight back, otherwise..." the gunner on another gunboat said to the captain, and just after he finished speaking, after a loud "boom", he was horrified to find that he The captain, including the entire cab, was blown away. He was knocked to the ground by the air waves. When he got up, he had lost the chance to fight back. A shell hit the gunboat's ammunition compartment. position, causing an earth-shattering explosion. During the explosion, the gunboat broke into two pieces and fell into the river.
This operation of the Water Ghost Team took an hour and a half, and was completed perfectly. They sent two Japanese gunboats to the bottom of the river without any casualties. In addition, they also captured two gunboats.
As for how to deal with these two gunboats, Ouyang Yun's original idea was to sail back to Fujian and Guangdong, but then he thought that the current waters of the Yangtze River and the coastal areas of Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were all the territory of the little devils, and there was no way they could pass through, so he thought of simply I was generous and gave it to Lao Jiang. However, he had such good intentions, but Lao Jiang did not have the strength, because at this time the Nationalist Government's navy had already gone to Hankou, and it was impossible for him to order it again for these two mere gunboats. Turn around and go east,
At around 11 o'clock in the evening, Ouyang Yun had a phone call with Lao Jiang. When he learned of the result, he couldn't help laughing at himself and said to Li Hanhun: "Look, people don't like it."
Li Hanhun smiled and said: "Why, the first time I flattered the Chairman, I slapped him on the horse's leg. I feel uncomfortable."
Ouyang Yun laughed angrily: "I flatter Chiang Kai-shek. I just don't want to waste those two gunboats. How much does it cost to build two gunboats of such size?"
Li Hanhun was actually teasing him on purpose. Hearing this, he laughed heartily again and said, "Okay, if he doesn't want it, we can use it as a floating fort. We just don't have enough artillery."
Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly: "That's all."
Li Hanhun: "But it's unbelievable to say that just one squadron of the Broadsword Special Forces Group was able to sink two Japanese warships and capture two more. If I hadn't personally experienced it, I wouldn't have believed it."
"Not surprising, our equipment cannot keep up, and the combat area has been suppressed into Nanjing City. Otherwise, with the strength of the Broadsword Regiment, they can function as a division."
"I didn't believe it before, but now, I have nothing to say."
Not only Li Hanhun, but also Wu Keren, Fang Hongshu, Rao Guohua, and Liu Yuqing expressed serious doubts when they first learned the news. However, when they saw that the two Japanese ships were indeed parked on the After arriving at Zhongshan Pier, they had to be impressed.
Before Shan Renxiong set out to carry out this mission, he was also skeptical about the success of this operation. After going through all the trouble to get the two gunboats back, the first words he said when he saw Ouyang Yun were: " Commander, I accept it."
Ouyang Yun smiled at that time, punched him in the chest and said: "Believe in yourself, there is nothing to be afraid of little devils." Then, he also plagiarized a famous saying of a great man: "All enemies are paper tigers."
It was night, and the Japanese army did not launch a night attack. This played into Ouyang Yun's plan. He could seize the time to organize the evacuation.
On the second day of defense,
At around three o'clock in the morning, the genius was still bright. Next to the ruins of the residential area next to the first line of defense behind Guanghua Gate, Zhu Zaiting was inspecting the defensive position surrounded by several guards.
Since the first defense fortification was blown to the ground during the day, local materials were used to naturally become the second defense fortification.
The size of the defense force is still one company of students and one company of Sichuan soldiers. At this time, except for a few lookout posts, everyone else on the position is sleeping soundly.
When the lookout post saw Zhu Zaiting approaching, he immediately stood at attention, and then shouted a report. Zhu Zaiting made a silent gesture and said softly: "Let the brothers sleep for a while longer. When it gets bright, you can't doze off anymore."
This lookout post was a student soldier and did not know Zhu Zaiting. Hearing this, he said: "Yes, sir." He saluted, then lay down and stared at Guanghua Gate with wide eyes again.
Zhu Zaiting walked past the lookout post and walked forward. After walking a few steps, a loud "boom" suddenly sounded in the direction of Guanghua Gate. He was so surprised that he almost uttered a sound, and his guards rushed up to guard him. He threw himself down,
The explosion was so sudden and violent that it not only woke up everyone on the battlefield, but also almost the entire city of Nanjing.
At that time, Ouyang Yun was napping in the headquarters in Purple Mountain. He was awakened by the explosion. He immediately stood up and ran outside while asking: "What happened? Where did the explosion occur?"
Li Hanhun was staying in the room next to him. At this time, he and many members of the headquarters ran out. Everyone rushed out of the headquarters and stood at the door. Then they discovered a huge fireball rising from the direction of Guanghua Gate. , gradually bloomed into a huge gray-black mushroom,
"Guanghua Gate, hurry up, pick me up Xie Chang'an." Ouyang Yun immediately turned around and ran in, then shouted to the staff officer on duty,
The duty staff officer quickly answered the call from the 7th Xuexue Brigade. The reason why he did not find Xie Changan was that, according to the duty staff officer at the 7th Xuexue Brigade, the brigade commander had gone to the front line because a section of the city wall centered on Guanghua Gate was occupied by the Japanese army. exploded,
As soon as he heard the news, Ouyang Yun's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. He grabbed the phone and asked hissingly: "How long is the total blast?" What he was worried about was that once the city wall was blasted by the main topic, If the length is too long, then the 9th Division is likely to flood in as a whole. Then, with the current defensive strength of Guanghuamen, it is obviously unable to withstand it. Once the Japanese army forms a breakthrough there, there will be no other positions. Defense is necessary,
The staff officer on duty of the 7th Xueqi Brigade obviously heard Ouyang Yun's voice, so he seemed a little nervous. He hesitated and said: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, I, I, I am not, very clear."
When Ouyang Yun heard this, he became angry and shouted: "Quickly find out and report it. If you delay the fight, I will shoot you."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Ouyang Yun grabbed the phone and waited for a few minutes without getting an answer. He became more and more uneasy. He thought for a while and called Li Hanhun in and said: "Old Li, the wall of Guanghuamen was blasted by the Japanese army. This old man, Yoshizhu Ryosuke, The Japanese have become smarter this time. If the blasted city wall is too long, the 9th Division may surge in, and Xie Changan and Zhu Zaiting will definitely not be able to stop it. You should contact Qian Guangming immediately and ask him to mobilize all the tanks. , I have to go to Guanghua Gate in person, you keep in touch with the 7th Xue Brigade, and if the situation is critical, ask other troops to retreat and prepare for street fighting."
Li Hanhun had already vaguely guessed what was going on. He objected to Ouyang Yun going to Guanghua Gate in person, saying: "The situation at Guanghua Gate is unclear and dangerous. You are the commander-in-chief and you must not risk your life. I will go ." After saying that, he called his adjutants and guards and asked them to follow him to Guanghua Gate immediately.
Ouyang Yun was not willing to listen to him. He shouted to Liu Zheliang and Liu Kui, but they had already run out. From far away, he turned around and shouted to Li Hanhun: "Old Li, soldiers are valuable and quick, I am younger than you, this kind of Leave the physical work to me, just be careful not to let the situation get out of control."
After he finished speaking, Liu Zheliang and Liu Kui led the security team to follow them.
Li Hanhun chased him out of the door and wanted to say something, but they had already gotten into the car and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
