I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 122 Fierce battle on the water!
"Yes!" Yu Tianzhao gladly accepted the order, and immediately organized more than 20 soldiers and seven or eight boatmen, driving six small sampans, and dispersed from the main fleet like arrows flying off the string.

Xunru disappeared into the vast night, and rushed towards the Japanese gunboat fleet from different directions at the same time.

After Chen Qifeng watched them disappear, he directed the remaining soldiers of the guard platoon to fire back as much as possible to provide cover.

While commanding the team members and boatmen, they quickly drove the boat to disperse and escaped to the west of Taihu Lake.

The sudden appearance of this group of Japanese gunboats was a naval detachment composed of four 25-ton gunboats.

They originally belonged to a naval task force that was ordered to assist in covering the Chongteng Detachment and the 13th Division and attack Yangzhou and Zhenjiang.

However, due to Katayama Riichiro and others, they repeatedly requested reinforcements.

Unable to withstand Matsui Iwane's strict order, this naval task force dispatched four gunboats with strong maneuverability and easy passage through small inland rivers and lakes.

Heading westward from the Yangtze River, they headed to Taihu Lake to support Katayama Riichiro and other troops, and to encircle and suppress Xu Qingfeng's troops.

At that time, there were [-] or [-] rivers in Taihu Lake, leading directly to the Yangtze River from west to east, so there were many waterways for the Devils' navy ships to pass through.

The four gunboats were commanded by a Japanese navy captain named Kento Kiyokawa, when it was discovered that the fleet in front might be the fleet of the Chinese army.

Kiyokawa Kento immediately commanded the four gunboats, firing all the guns and firing towards the opposite side.

Especially after discovering that the fleet on the opposite side seemed to have only light firepower and could not pose a substantial threat to them.

Relying on the defensive armor on the front of the gunboat, Kiyokawa Kento and the Devil Navy began to shoot forward with more confidence and boldness.

However, because it was night, the sight of the Devil Gunners was blocked.

Therefore, the four 80mm special mortars they installed on the bow of the ship failed to accurately hit the target.

In order to improve the hit rate, Kento Kiyokawa hid behind the protective steel plate of one of the cabins, and immediately ordered to fire flares towards the Hubenying fleet.

Soon, the Japanese artillerymen at the bow of the ship replaced the flares and fired mortars into the sky ahead.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... four rounds of flares rose slowly into the sky, bursting out clusters of dazzling white lights in the night sky.

Like four small suns, it instantly illuminates the surrounding waters like daylight.

The scene under the light startled Kiyokawa Kento.

The size of the fleet ahead exceeded his expectations and imagination.

It was so vast that there were hundreds of ships, and they were all fleeing in all directions.

What shocked Kiyokawa Kento the most was that several other small boats were quickly attacking them from the left and right wings.

Although gunboats made of steel are not afraid of machine gun bullets, they are afraid of being close.

Who knows what crazy things these fearless Chinese troops can do.

Therefore, he immediately pulled out his saber, commanded and ordered in a loud voice: "Stop those boats, don't let them approach! Hurry up and fire!"

Under his order, the Devil's machine guns on the four gunboats quickly turned their guns and fired fiercely at the attacking guard platoon boats on both sides.

The small sampan Yu Tianzhao and the soldiers rode was fast, but the hull was narrow and there was no cover.

Facing the sudden machine gun fire from the Japanese, there was no resistance at all.

Therefore, as the devil's machine gun roared, soldiers and boatmen were shot and fell into the water to die.

Yu Tianzhao was anxious and angry when he saw this. He picked up his submachine gun and opened fire on one of the Japanese warships.

However, because the distance was too far, most of the bullets fired fell into the water and failed to pose a threat to the Japanese.

On the contrary, his firing quickly attracted a heavy machine gun from the Japanese in retaliation!

Chu chu chu... Following a muffled gunshot, a burst of scorching bullets roared towards the sampan where Yu Tianzhao was.

Yu Tianzhao dived decisively to avoid the first time, and escaped by luck.

But the three soldiers and one boatman behind him had nowhere to hide. They were all shot one after another, or fell on the boat, or fell into the icy water of Taihu Lake.

On the main side of the rear fleet, Chen Qifeng couldn't help but his eyes were tearing apart when he saw this scene, and he roared twice.

He immediately turned his head and shouted to one of his subordinates: "Squad leader No. [-], class leader No. [-], you are responsible for leading people to continue to cover the evacuation of the people, and then use an empty boat to land on the shore to meet the battalion commander and the others to board the boat.

First squad leader, second squad leader, lead the men to rush over with me and kill the enemy's gunboat! "

"Yes!" Several monitors suddenly agreed, and acted quickly.

Not long after, Chen Qifeng and two squad leaders each led more than ten soldiers, divided into seventeen or eighteen small boats, and quickly sailed towards the Japanese gunboat again.

Since the guard platoon is a machine gun platoon with a total of seven NO.80 people, there are four or five squads in total.

At this time, the first batch of six sampan boats that followed Yu Tianzhao had already been destroyed by the intensive firepower of the devils.

There are only two ships left, and the situation is extremely critical.

At this time, Chen Qifeng led seventeen or eight small boats and pounced on them like a pack of wolves on the water.

Immediately attracted most of the devil's firepower, which gave the soldiers on the remaining two small boats a rare respite.

In particular, when the soldiers on the two ships saw Yu Tianzhao falling into the water, they thought he had died.

They were all furious. They braved Japanese machine gun fire and bravely drove their boats directly towards two of the Japanese gunboats.

However, at a distance of less than 20 meters, one of the sampan boats was violently strafed by Devil machine guns.

Several soldiers were all shot and fell into the water, and died heroically.

Only the last small boat broke through the Japanese's intensive fire blockade.

It collided hard with one of the gunboats. Before the ship could stop, several soldiers on board concentrated fire with submachine guns and killed several Japanese gunners at the bow.

Afterwards, several Japanese machine gunners on top were killed by throwing grenades.

After suppressing the gunboat with fire, two of the soldiers began to cover themselves with other companions.

He jumped onto the Japanese deck, but just as they were about to rush towards the cabin.

It was suddenly attacked by a burst of dense bullets. It turned out that in addition to the necessary artillery and machine gunners, each of the devil's gunboats also deployed a number of infantry equipped with rifles.

It was they who hid in the dark and shot and killed two brave guards platoon soldiers.

At the same time, a heavy machine gun on another Japanese gunboat not far away also turned its muzzle and began to fire at the soldiers of the guard platoon.

At the extremely critical moment when the Japanese were suppressed by intensive firepower, the two remaining soldiers on the small sampan could not think too much.

He directly took out the explosive pack and fired it in order to completely blow up the Japanese gunboat.

One by one, they threw the explosive package onto the deck of the ship.

One directly held the explosive pack and pressed it against the hull below the bow of the ship.

Just as the explosive package was about to explode, a few bullets whized in and hit the two of them.

Two soldiers who were shot several times wanted to ensure that the explosive package could explode against the Japanese gunboat.

Exhausting the last bit of strength, they hugged each other tightly, supporting each other to prevent themselves from falling down.

The two of them worked together to hold the explosive bag, and blood continued to pour out of their mouths.

The explosion sounded suddenly, and the two were immediately submerged in red light.

Boom boom boom!With two loud bangs, the hull and deck of the Devil's gunboat were instantly blasted through.

The mortars on the bow of the ship and the corpses of many Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces and flying everywhere.

The other devils hidden in the cabin were also hit by the explosion and died on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the gunboat, whose bow was almost blown into two pieces, began to rapidly take on water and sink.
