Chapter 166: Fierce Battle on the Riverbank
"There's a motorboat coming," the soldiers on the embankment shouted loudly, pointing to the water in front of them, and the last three trips of supplies on the riverbank could all be transported across the river, and the most important rifles and mortars had already crossed the river, and all that remained on the riverbank was ammunition. "Got a vaporetto?" When Tang Cheng heard this, he picked up the telescope again and looked forward, and there was indeed a motorboat on the river, which was exactly the same as the Japanese motorboat that Tang Cheng encountered when he crossed the river after the city of Nanjing was broken.
"Come on two heavy machine guns," Tang Cheng jumped off the front of the car and shouted at the soldiers who were busy by the river. Beckoning the soldiers who gathered around, they loaded two heavy machine guns into the car, and then threw in two boxes of heavy machine gun bullets, Tang Cheng started the truck and sped away in the direction of the motorboat. "I'll turn the truck around in a moment, the task of the few of you is to hit the motorboat on the water with heavy machine guns, don't worry about the bullets, if you let the motorboat pass us, all the brothers and things on the ferry will be finished."
After telling the soldiers in the car with heavy machine guns again, Tang Cheng turned the truck around and let the truck run parallel to the river embankment, and the soldiers in the car had already cut the tarpaulin with their bayonets so that they could stay in the car and fire at the other people on the water. The trucks from Tang Cheng did not have any concealment, and they appeared on the river embankment alone, as long as the Japanese soldiers on the motorboat were not blind, they could see it. Tang Cheng in the wheelhouse looked at the two motorboats coming on the river without blinking, his hands had already clenched the steering wheel, and seeing that the motorboat had entered the range of heavy machine guns, Tang Cheng released the clutch and drove the truck and the motorboat parallel to the river embankment.
The "Da Da" truck started was the order to turn on, and the soldiers in the car experienced the initial swing and began to fire at the Japanese motorboats on the river with heavy machine guns. The width of the Xiuhe River was only 200 meters, but the range of the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns had long exceeded this distance, and the two heavy machine guns had not yet exhausted the first bullet plate, and the fastest of the two Japanese motorboats was already full of bullet holes, and the Japanese soldiers on the motorboats were screaming again and again.
I don't know if the motorboat was hit by a heavy machine gun in the power part, and the motorboat that was fired by two heavy machine guns began to spin on the river. "Don't stop, don't stop, stop that one for Lao Tzu." Tang Cheng in the wheelhouse also noticed the movement on the river, and saw that one of the motorboats had come to a standstill, so he stepped on the brakes and let the heavy machine gun in the compartment stop the other motorboat on the river. The bullet plates were stuffed into the bomb inlet one after another, and the hot shell shells also flew out of the bomb throwing port like flowing water, and the bullet chain visible to the naked eye had completely blocked the surface of the river, and only a "boom" sound was heard, and a fireball rose from the remaining motorboat.
The soldiers in the center of the car cheered, and then turned their guns and prepared to turn the previously stopped motorboat into a fireball, but the large-caliber machine gun on the motorboat also immediately returned fire, and the truck parked on the river embankment obviously suffered a loss, paying the price of scrapping a heavy machine gun and killing three people, and finally turned the Japanese motorboat that was still spinning on the water into a ball of fire. The remaining heavy machine guns in the carriage never stopped firing, and all the Japanese soldiers who escaped by jumping from the Japanese motorboat died in the fire of the heavy machine guns.
"Cross the river, cross the river, and all the people who don't need it cross the river." Driving the truck back to the ferry, Tang Cheng's face was already a little more panicked, the boxes stranded on the bank of the river could be transported across the river in just one time, but Tang Cheng couldn't take care of these boxes, in his opinion, these soldiers around him were far more important than a few boxes of ammunition. There were more than 50 soldiers dragging ropes on the other side, and the ferry boat that was already speeding on the river was more like a motorboat at this time.
The last box was loaded onto the ferry, Tang Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he turned around and was about to greet Lao Dongbei and the others, he saw a person who should not have appeared here, Bai Shouyi. "Chief Tang, why haven't you left yet? I received a notification from the Japanese army in Baicha that a small group of Japanese troops had been sent from the Sanxi Bridge to look for the trucks that should have arrived long ago. Without waiting for Tang Cheng to speak, Bai Shouyi asked first, but Tang Cheng felt that Bai Shouyi's expression was a little wrong.
Bai Shouyi, who was moving along the highway, did not find this ferry, but Bai Shouyi, who was guarding the side of the road, and found that it was still Bai Shouyi, so the old Northeast stopped them, and learned that Tangcheng was still on the bank of the river, so Bai Shouyi pretended to have important information to inform Tangcheng. If Hou San was alive and Tan Fei was still on the riverbank, he would never let Bai Shouyi go to see Tang Cheng, but Lao Dongbei, who had always looked down on Bai Shouyi, just accepted Bai Shouyi's short spear, so he didn't stop him anymore, but he didn't know that there was a short knife pinned to the leather rope on Bai Shouyi's arm.
Bai Shouyi knew that Tang Cheng was only the commander of this group of national troops, and if he wanted to keep himself alive and save his family, he had to control Tang Cheng. When he learned from Lao Dongbei that Tang Cheng was still on the riverbank, Bai Shouyi had already made up his mind to give up more than a dozen of his team members to contain Lao Dongbei and them, and he took Tang Cheng by surprise one-on-one. Bai Shouyi's preemptive question was just to win a chance to get close to Tang City for himself, after all, all he could use now was a short knife, and it was not okay to be far away.
There was a sudden explosion on the "boom" road, not giving Bai Shouyi a chance to dodge at all, Tang Cheng took out his gun and hit, and there was a "pop" gunshot, and Bai Shouyi, who was flying with a bloody arrow on his forehead, stared at a pair of eyes and fell on his back. Fierce battles often broke out in an instant, and at the same time that Tang Cheng shot Bai Shouyi, explosions were heard continuously from the hiding place of Lao Dongbei on the side of the highway, and the Japanese army's earthy yellow uniforms also appeared closer and closer in the sight of Lao Dongbei and others.
"Why are there so many little devils on the dog day" Lao Dongbei just took a general look with a telescope, and then ordered to give up blocking the Japanese army Ben ran down the riverbank, the Japanese army on the opposite side was at least more than 50 people, and with a few people he wanted to block 150 devil soldiers, and Lao Northeast was not arrogant to that point. The detectives who followed Bai Shouyi had already fled when the Japanese bombardment was blowing, and when Lao Dongbei rushed down the river bank with a few of his own people, he happened to see Bai Shouyi's body and Tang Cheng carrying a shell gun.
"Hurry up and get on the boat" Tang Cheng, who was carrying a barge gun in one hand, stood by the ferry and waved desperately to Lao Dongbei and the others, as long as the soldiers on the other side of the boat pulled the rope, it would not take a minute for them to reach the other side. "What? You said that the sixth child hasn't been withdrawn yet? "The old northeast has already boarded the ferry, and it is only then that I remember that the old six or seven people who were sent by myself to guard the north road have not yet withdrawn.
"You cross the river first, I'll go find them and come back, and after crossing the river, let the machine guns on the embankment pick us up, and take out the mortars and use them, I don't want to die here." Pushing Lao Dongbei onto the ferry, Tang Cheng quickly ran to the river bank with a barge gun. Not knowing the water is the defect of the old Northeast, and it is precisely because of this that Tang Cheng will go to the sixth child by himself, even if there is no ferry, Tang Cheng can return to the other side even if he swims in the water.
Lao Liushou is on the north side of the road near the direction of Sanxi Bridge, if it is a different person, hearing the gunfire and explosions on this side of the ferry, he may have withdrawn with people a long time ago. But the sixth is a rigid guy who has fallen to the extreme, and because of this, this guy who has been in the army for many years is still just a first-class soldier. The bullets from the Japanese machine gun chased Tang Cheng's footsteps and hit a series of gray pillars on the ground, and Tang Cheng, who rushed to the river bank, was forced to turn around and jump off the river embankment, and could only run north along the river embankment.
"Fire, don't let the little devil go up the opposite embankment." The old northeast, who had reached the opposite bank, also ordered four light machine guns on the embankment to open fire on the river embankment, on the orders of Tang Cheng. The 200-meter-wide river is like a decoration for light machine guns, and although the Japanese machine guns on the other side can also shoot bullets across the river, after all, the number of machine guns on this side must be superior. The sixth man had already heard Tang Cheng's shout at this time, and was running under the river embankment with machine guns with the six soldiers around him, and the Japanese soldiers who came around behind him were only a hundred meters away from the sixth one.
The ferry boat with the rope was also moving north, and seeing Lao Liu and the others running down the river embankment one after another, the ferry boat immediately approached Tang Cheng and them. "Run, run faster, no machine guns." Tang Cheng, who had already stepped into the water with one foot, waved his arm at the sixth and the others, he wanted the sixth to throw the machine gun, but the sixth and the others turned a deaf ear and carried the machine gun and bullets, and they couldn't run more with such a heavy thing.
"Sir, get on board, the little devil is already on the embankment." The two guides on the ferry were also shouting for Tang Cheng to get on the boat, but Tang Cheng didn't just have any wrong tendons, he had to wait for the sixth and them to get on the boat together. "Boom" and "boom" two explosions, just 20 meters away from Tangcheng, the sixth few were drowned in the artillery fire, and the machine guns that they had been reluctant to throw away by the sixth were also pushed to the river embankment by the air wave of the explosion.
Tang Cheng, who had a big mouth open, almost climbed onto the ferry, and the old northeast on the other side immediately ordered the rope to be dragged when he saw this, and under the full tuk of 50 soldiers on the opposite bank, only three people flew to the other side of the ferry. "Fire the cannon and sink the ship for me." Sato Jingchuan, who had already rushed to the embankment, was bruised, and the three grenadiers fired stray bullets one after another, and more than 100 soldiers on both sides of the river bank all looked up at the screeching stray bullets in the air and fell towards the ferry.
Tang Cheng on the ferry also heard the screaming sound in mid-air, Tang Cheng, who had used the Japanese 50mm grenadier for a while, was not unfamiliar with this sound, and he didn't have time to look up. "Boom", "Boom", "Boom" three explosions in a row, in the roar of the old northeast and the desperate eyes of everyone, the ferry on the river surface turned into pieces, the Japanese troops on the other side cheered in unison, but the soldiers of the national army on this side of the river were all sad.
