The gunboat was rushing toward the shore, its two turrets turning at any moment. The gunboat was facing a large number of rafts on the side of the gunboat, and the two main guns then fired frequently.

A cannonball was very lucky not to miss, but accurately hit a raft, and the violent explosion instantly turned the paratroopers of a squad above into a few undead in the Dnieper.

This scene shook the entire 233rd Paratrooper Brigade, and then, people's anger was completely ignited in shock.

Tepunov was furious and ordered: "Mortars, aim for me!" Sink that damn gunboat! ”

It was the brigade commissar who stopped his reckless behavior, and Zalasky calmed the angry guy and ordered: "All gunners, pause the bombardment!" ”

"Why? You are a commissar and you cannot interfere with military orders! ”

"Of course! But don't you want to capture that boat? "Look at that gunboat, it's going to crash into the riverbank!" ”

In this way, Tepunov woke up like a dream.

He had no idea that the helmsman had been killed, and that since the gunboat was going to ram the riverbank, the rest of the work would be done.

The warriors on the raft fired desperately at the gunboat, and a large number of semi-automatic rifles formed a powerful firepower.

At this moment, two of the six machine guns on the gunboat had been paralyzed, and a total of twelve crew members had actually died. The deceased also included the captain himself.

Yes, Captain Zmailmann wanted to go to the wheelhouse to see what was going on, but he was exposed from the deck bunker and a huge 14.5 mm bullet hit him in the back impartially!

Yang Mingzhi saw this scene from 600 meters away, the kinetic energy of the bullet was exaggerated, and he saw that the enemy was simply torn to pieces, and blood was sprinkled all over the hull.

"Hey, hey! Natasha, well done! Igor, give her a clear record! Comrade Spyroskina, at 5:45 p.m. on May 19, killed one of the Germans at the Missy Ferry! ”

Now to give Natasha credit, there must be eyewitnesses, there must be data on the location of the incident, and the best evidence is the dead body of the enemy! Only then will her achievements be internationally recognized after the war.

Natasha didn't care so much, her mind was blank now, and she didn't even notice that her clothes were half wet by the river.

The girl calmly pulled the bolt, and Igor quickly loaded a large bullet. With a loud noise and a characteristic muzzle storm, another armor-piercing bullet was fired. As the gunboat's movement became regular, Natasha's shots were unusually accurate. The prejudged bullet smashed straight into a Maxim machine gun.

Of course, the enemy simply buried his head under the deck fence, and only held the trigger with both hands and fired blindly.

The armor-piercing bullet easily pierced through the iron fence, and the heavy's body was shattered, adding another to the girl's record.

Yang Mingzhi was very pleased, compared to the 7.62 mm small tube, the 14.5 mm big tube is really dead!

In the same way, he noticed the canoes on the river, and they actually began to charge.

These canoes, which were originally used by fishermen to catch fish, are made of huge red pines that are common in the region, and can seat up to five people at a time. Almost all of these canoes were urgently transferred from the Pripet River to the overland route, and it was unsurprising that this kind of boat, which was meant to add some extra capacity to the river crossing, turned into a combat canoe!

Fifteen small boats were attacking the gunboat head-on, and as the distance was getting closer, the gunboat's main guns were no longer a threat, especially since several of its machine guns were frequently extinguished, and it was already a fat sheep to be slaughtered under the tactical siege of the "wolf pack" of the canoe.

To make matters worse, the gunboat was really too close to the river bank, and it was supposed to maintain a speed of up to 17 knots, when suddenly, the speed plummeted. It's not an engine attack, it's just a drive into the shore silt! The riverbed was only a meter, and the gunboat quickly ran aground!

The deck of the gunboat was in shambles, and five German soldiers were putting up a stubborn resistance.

The paratroopers did not hesitate, and when the canoe approached, the soldier at the bow climbed directly onto the gunboat with a submachine gun. After a brief exchange of fire, the enemy was completely annihilated. When the paratroopers stood on the turret and cheered, the encounter was officially over.

The victory was achieved, and the soldiers on both sides of the ferry cheered, including Yang Mingzhi's guards, who also showed joy.

However, Yang Mingzhi was in a complicated mood, the gunboat really rode into the iron stream alone, and the team of 5,000 people was too self-sufficient to attack, so he died. But this battle should not have happened, so to speak, Anatoly's reconnaissance was revealed. Moreover, the Missy crossing is not far from Slavzich in the forest, and assuming that the enemy has arranged a post in the forest, what can they think as soon as they hear the discordant sound of gunfire? If they didn't do it, they immediately reconnoitred in the direction of the river, and this operation was already a surprise.

However, there are two sides to everything, and the power equipment of this gunboat is naturally unscathed! It was a gunboat, ready for use by the Soviets as soon as it was captured!

……

The ferry continued, and Yang Mingzhi crossed the Dnieper without danger.

The sun is about to set, and he has officially set foot on Ukrainian soil.

The reconnaissance battalion that arrived early, except for assisting in the ferry and helping to carry supplies, did not participate in the battle just now.

When Balzen saw the commander landing, he immediately trotted all the way.

"Report to Comrade Commander! Construction of the Missy Ferry Temporary Camp has begun! We've found a nice farmhouse that could be used as your temporary headquarters. ”

Yang Mingzhi nodded: "Just do what you want!" Our army is camping here tonight, and now give my order to light some bonfires! ”

"Yes! But...... If we light bonfires on a large scale, don't we want to expose our whereabouts? ”

"Phew! It's been exposed! Yang Mingzhi gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, "Even if there is a forest blocking, the sound of gunfire can still be transmitted several kilometers away." If there is an enemy in this area, they will be able to detect it! So, our existence is no longer a secret! Let's get started! ”

"Yes! Comrade Commander! ”

Balzen trotted away again, looking at his back Yang Mingzhi was a little worried. The reconnaissance battalion will move ahead of tomorrow morning to scout Slavdzich, if they are too tired, it is not good! "Forget it! Never mind! This group of soldiers is elite! ”

Yang Mingzhi did not immediately go to the so-called "clean farmhouse", he took off his steel helmet, immediately put on a large-brimmed hat, and stood on the dock in the posture of a lieutenant general.

He is like a statue, and the whole person shines even more in the sunset!

He also had to supervise the entire army's river crossing operation, and after the encounter just now, the troops must hurry up!

A large number of soldiers landed, they were ordered, and everyone camped in the ruins of the village of Missy. The first soldiers had already set up tents in the designated area, while others had leaned on the ruins of the village and wrapped themselves in blankets for a short rest.

There were also soldiers who found something terrifying in the ruins - human skulls! There is no need to guess, this must be the remains of villagers from the village of Missy. The soldiers have been through a hundred battles, and the bloody and disgusting war has long been numb, looking at the dry bones, even a little girl like Natasha, there is not fear, but pity for the victims.

Yang Mingzhi continued to stand at the dilapidated ferry wharf, insisting that he waited until all the soldiers of the attacking force crossed the river, and he was also full of curiosity about the gunboat that ran aground not far away.

The gunboat has been captured, and what happens next is interesting. The paratroopers boarded the gunboat to check, and the remaining paratroopers continued to cross the river on rafts.

Twenty minutes after the battle, it was almost half past six! The earth was dark, the moon appeared in the sky, and Mars shone brightly. Night was approaching, and the stranded gunboat actually let out a crisp whistle.

Yang Mingzhi was shocked, and more soldiers also ran to the dock to check the situation.

I saw that the gunboat was reversing, and some people were standing on the deck of the gunboat, holding the newly cut pine poles, sticking into the mud, trying to get the gunboat out of the ground.

These measures have achieved excellent results, and the gunboat is really out of danger! After reversing into deeper water, it turned to the ferry......
