It was February, and the river was bitterly cold. As soon as he jumped into the water, his clothes, soaked by the river, stuck to his body like ice cubes. The river water is even more pervasive, impacting the body from the wet clothes, quickly taking away the body temperature that is not much.

"The devil's warship is there, don't stop. If we stop, this icy river will be enough to kill us a few times, we must move, quickly! Gao Dong shuddered and ordered in a low voice.

The seven people immediately waved their arms, and the river water was like a tidal wave, quickly approaching the warships moored on the river. Gao Dong's plan was very simple, that is, to blow up and sink the warships of the devils, so that they had to pursue the retreating New Fourth Army along the coast in a rage.

But to detonate a ship in the water, a large amount of explosives is required in the first place. The thickness of the armor of a light cruiser is not comparable to that of an ordinary coastal patrol boat, and the number of bombs required is staggering. Only enough explosives can sink a cruiser. Therefore, the seven people in Gao Dong are carrying enough explosives on their bodies, and that's it, and it may not necessarily guarantee that they will be able to blow up and sink.

The second is that the waterproofness of the bomb must be dealt with, which requires Lin Fan to handle every explosive accurately. Be careful to wrap it in oiled paper first to avoid even a drop of water from getting inside the explosive. It is also necessary to make a lead that can ignite explosives in the water, and it takes a lot of time to make the lead. And the big war is imminent, and there is not much time left for Gao Dong, so he can only choose the strategy of diving in from the river and blowing up a warship of the devil.

This is also a devil's self-defeating way, and the Yangtze River is much calmer than ******. For the specially trained special forces, crossing the Yangtze River is like a joke, let alone quietly lurking under the warship to plant explosives. If Gao Dong can be given enough time, Gao Dong is completely sure that he will blow up all the warships of the devil, and he will not need to use the trick of luring the enemy at all.

Seven men braved the wind and waves, quickly swam across the river five kilometers and approached one of the cruisers. At this moment, the cruiser, which had been silent, finally woke up, and the river was shaking violently from the rumbling cannons on the ship, as if some monster was about to break out from under the water.

"Quick, install explosives, the devils are on the offensive, with their firepower, our troops on the shore will not be able to hold out for ten minutes." Gao Dong's brows furrowed tightly, time is life at this moment, if they can place the explosives as soon as possible, they can save the lives of some more soldiers, they are racing against time.

The seven men quickly parted and swam in different directions towards the cruiser. In teams of two people, they worked together to plant the explosives. Lin Fan swam alone in the direction of the bow of the ship, he knew that it was a torpedo compartment, and if he was lucky, maybe the bomb exploded at the same time, and the torpedo compartment could be exploded.

While the seven people were busy, Ichiki Shigemu, who was sitting on the ship, stood in the command cabin of the ship with a smug smile, looking at the Chinese artillery positions on the shore that had been bombed into a sea of fire with a telescope.

"Poor China, do they think that if they capture those artillery pieces of army waste, they will be able to run rampant? Those poor artillery ranges only to hit birds, and in front of our shipborne guns, they are nothing at all. Ichiki Shigemaru proudly put down the binoculars, the artillery positions of the New Fourth Army on the shore were finished, and under the bombardment of six ships, it only took twenty minutes to be scrapped.

"Tell Tashiro and leave the rest to their army." Ichiki Shigemaru threw down the binoculars and said arrogantly to the adjutant beside him, turning around and leaving.

Rumble. Suddenly, a violent explosion suddenly sounded from the left side of his flagship, and the violent shock wave shattered all the glass in the command module. The cold wind swished in, and the sky-high fire rushed into the face with a raging heat wave. Ichiki Shigemaru subconsciously fell to the ground, and the glass shards fell to him, and he was extremely embarrassed.

"What's the situation?" Ichiki Shigemaru was lying on the ground, and suddenly found that the floor was already full of naval officers, and everyone looked panicked, obviously not knowing what was happening.

"The people of China, did you hit the river? Do they have warships? Ichiki Shigemaru asked in surprise an adjutant who was lying on his stomach in front of him, and his voice raised an octave.

"Your Excellency General, it's not good, the Xianghe caught fire, the inside began to explode, and it has begun to sink." A devil yelled in horror, as if he had seen the end of the world.

Ichiki Shigemaru stood up with the support of his officers, and the command cabin was already in disarray. But he was in no mood to pay attention at the moment, and looked out through the broken command cabin in a daze, only to see that the light cruiser Xianghe that was originally docked to his left had been engulfed in flames, and from the bow to the stern, everywhere seemed to be constantly exploding. Countless naval soldiers screamed and jumped from their ships into the river, and the leaking fuel burned the surface of the river into a sea of fire. The Crane tilted even more to the side, apparently because there was too much water and was about to sink.

"This, this, what the hell is going on?" Ichiki Shigemaru stared blankly at the Xianghe that was about to sink, and a ridiculous thought appeared in his mind, could it be that it was struck by lightning and exploded?

"Your Excellency General, look, there are people on the river." Suddenly, a devil officer yelled and pointed to the river. Ichiki Shigemaru and the other officers frantically raised their binoculars and searched the river along the river.

I saw that on the river in the distance, a few people were swimming quickly to the shore. And they were holding a long stick holding a burning Japanese military flag, which symbolized the highest honor of the Japanese army and gradually turned to ashes in the flames, like a fallen crane, scattered in the river.

Bang, Ichiki Shigemaru directly threw away the telescope in his hand angrily, and roared angrily: "This is a provocation, this is the biggest insult to my Japanese Navy." It must have been these despicable people who secretly blew up our warship and now burned our supreme flag. Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable. ”

"Report to the general, the Chinese army on the shore that was bombed by us has begun to withdraw. The commander of the 7th Division, General Tashiro, said that he would not pursue and would continue to defend the riverbank fortifications. An officer hurried in from outside to report.

Ichiki Shigemaru's eyes narrowed into a terrifying slit, staring at the flames on the river that were about to burn out, and turned his head to stare fiercely at the river bank in the distance.

"How can the majesty of the Great Japanese Navy be lost at the hands of the Shina people?" Ichiki Shigemaru turned his head violently, looked at the group of naval officers behind him, and said sharply: "You say, what should we do?" ”

"Your Excellency General, these sneak attackers must have been sent by the New Fourth Army. I heard that the New Fourth Army has a special operations squad that goes up the mountain and into the water, and can do anything. They are definitely on the same path as the New Fourth Army on the shore! One of the officers said immediately.

"Your Excellency, the cowards of the army are afraid of losing their positions, but what are we afraid of? The Lucky Crane is about to sink, how can our dignified Japanese Navy be insulted by others and not fight back, which will lose the face of our ancestors. I suggest that we pursue it immediately, although the river is narrow, but it is our world, and we must be completely annihilated by this group of fleeing Chinese troops, so as to show the military might of our Great Japanese Navy! Another adjutant shouted loudly.

"Your Excellency General, pursue it! Blow all these poor escaped Shina to pieces with our artillery fire, and let them know clearly that the Great Japanese Navy is not something that anyone can offend. The advent of our military power will make the whole of China tremble! ”

For a while, all the naval officers in the command cabin were crying out in unison. Since the First Sino-Japanese Naval War with China and the Russo-Japanese War, these proud Japanese navies have always been in a state of superiority and have never been defeated. Unlike the Army, which encountered stubborn resistance on the land of China, the Japanese Navy was a hegemonic presence in the waters of Asia.

Someone blew up a cruiser right under their noses, angering these self-righteous naval officers. They want to kill the New Fourth Army that offended them like ants, and they want to burn their anger on this land.

"Immediately pursue at full speed, and leave these damned army forces on the shore alone. These wastes will only hide in the fortifications and be beaten. We are the proud Imperial Navy, the eagles of the seas. If we are insulted, there is only one way to go. Turn the bow of the ship and kill all the fleeing New Fourth Army. Ichiki Shigemaru yelled.

At this time, Gao Dong had already led six people to the shore. The cold wind blew, which immediately made the whole body tremble of the seven people at the same time. The soaked clothes stuck to their bodies, and it only took a moment for them to become stiff, as if they had frozen them in this layer of "armor"!

"Captain, look!" Ergou suddenly pointed at the river and shouted.

Gao Dong and the rest of the people turned their heads, only to see that the remaining five Japanese warships on the river were moving slowly, trying to bypass the Xianghe, which had been completely covered by the fire. Their purpose was obvious, that is, to chase them to the place where they were in Gaodong.

Gao Dong smiled slightly: "The devil was fooled, it seems that our trip was not in vain." ”

"Retreat, if they chase at full speed, it's not slow, I don't want to be their target." Lin Fan said.

Gao Dong nodded, and immediately retreated with the six people towards the original route. The warship of the devil behind him had already bypassed the burning Xianghe and was chasing them at full speed.

Soon, Gao Dong and his men encountered three regiments of the New Fourth Army who also retreated. They retreated five minutes after the Devil warship opened fire, but instead of pursuing them, the 7th Division allowed them to escape. This made Gao Dong a little regretful, if the Seventh Division could send troops to pursue, then it would definitely be able to eliminate their part of the pursuers.

"It seems that our opponent is really a cautious person." Gao Dong sighed.

"Captain, my cannon is all gone." Suddenly, a crying voice suddenly sounded in the ranks. Gao Dong looked back and saw Yang Jihong's eyes flushed, and tears kept rolling in his eyes. None of those cannons were brought out, and all of them became the targets of the devil navy, which was even more uncomfortable than asking for Yang Jihong's life.

Gao Dong patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: "This mission has been completed very well, don't worry." When you get to the front, you personally seek revenge on the little devil. ”
