Wei Mingyang's first shell hit the Japanese gunboat at the front. This type of inland river gunboat had a displacement of less than one hundred tons.

An 82mm mortar shell hit the bow of the ship, immediately smashing through the bow deck, reaching the bottom of the cabin, and blasting a large hole.

The river water rushed in all of a sudden, and at this time no Japanese were paying attention to it.

The fragments from the mortar bomb explosion were mixed with the blown planks on the gunboat deck, and steel fragments were flying randomly on the gunboat.

In an instant, the gunboat that was leading the way was covered in scars.

There were twenty-five Japanese soldiers on board a gunboat, and at least fifteen of these twenty-five Japanese soldiers fell.

The remaining Japanese were crawling on the deck in horror, listening to the clanging sound of shrapnel hitting the turret everywhere.

Staff Sergeant Yoshio Omasa was lucky not to be injured by the flying shrapnel, but he was horrified to see that a three-foot hole had been blown out of the gunboat.

The raging river water was constantly pushing into the cabin.

It shouted: "Plug the loopholes! Plug the loopholes!"

If that loophole is not blocked, the gunboat will be 100% unsustainable.

However, before its shouting stopped, a wave of heat came from behind.

The body of Staff Sergeant Yoshio Omasa was suddenly thrown into the air. While in the air, he had time to take a look.

Another big hole appeared in the rear of the gunboat.

"It's hopeless!" Staff Sergeant Yoshio Omasa closed his eyes unwillingly.

This gunboat was bombarded by two 82mm mortar shells and was really hopeless.

Its only fate is to sink to the bottom of the Huangpu River.

On the wounded ship, Saburo Yamamoto and others were still trying to look forward when another explosion came from behind.

This time they saw clearly without any effort: the gunboat following behind to escort them had been hit.

The Japanese who were groaning in the cabin, who could move, managed to hold on to their seriously injured bodies, raised their upper bodies, and looked at the gunboats following the cargo ship filled with smoke.

They could see nothing but smoke.

Next, it was their turn, and three consecutive shells fell on the wounded boat.

Whether it's the Japanese or the crew in the cargo hold, or the wounded leaning on the side of the ship chatting.

If one of them counts, he will either be killed or injured.

The two Japs, Saburo Yamamoto and Yuma Shimoda, are indeed the lucky ones, as they have not continued to suffer more injuries.

But there were already Japanese soldiers on the cargo ship shouting: "It's leaking! It's leaking!"

Shimoda Yuma did not dare to neglect this time and said to Yamamoto Saburo: "Jump!"

"What are you dancing for?" Yamamoto Saburo asked puzzledly.

"Jump into the river! If a few more shells hit, everyone will die, and the ship will sink." Shimoda Yuma explained and jumped out immediately.

He was born as a fisherman on the seaside, so the storms on the Huangpu River are not a problem.

Saburo Yamamoto understood as soon as he heard it, if you don't jump, you will die!

He jumped down and shouted while he was still in the air: "Help me! I can't swim!"

Shimoda Yu is really a loyal person. When he saw this Japanese guy who was willing to invite him to the big world just by chance, he really jumped off the boat.

He swam over quickly, carried Saburo Yamamoto from behind, and swam toward the shore.

At this time, it was finally able to see the overall situation clearly: the gunboat in front had tilted seriously and was obviously about to sink into the river.

The situation with the gunboat behind was similar.

It seems that the artillery fired by the team that attacked the imperial army today was very accurate.

Wei Mingyang has always adhered to the spirit of being unreasonable and beating down the dog in the water.

When he saw some Japs swimming towards this side, he immediately ordered: "Gu Zuo! Take your company, get on your motorcycle and go to the riverside to kill all those Japs."

Disguise! Take no prisoners!”

"Yes! Disguise! No prisoners!" Gu Zuo repeated the task loudly.

Gu Zuo's fourth company still had personnel, including himself, there were only seventeen people in total. This was already the largest company among the three infantry companies of the second battalion.

Seventeen people drove five motorcycles, dressed in Japanese costumes and with a plaster flag in front of the car.

He drove towards the river at lightning speed.

"Batalion Commander! Why are you disguising?" Yang Dazhu asked without understanding.

"They came over in disguise, and the Japanese who had just landed would not only not run away, but would also actively gather around.

It’s convenient for Captain Gu to catch them all in one go!

If you had gone there wearing Central Army uniforms, the Japanese would have fled before they arrived.

It takes too much time to clean up like this." Wei Mingyang was willing to explain.

You can make your soldiers understand bit by bit. Every time they know a little more truth, their combat effectiveness will also increase.

This explanation is very reasonable. Lu Fei has already stood up and continues to scan the Yangtze River and Huangpu River.

While observing the situation on the river, Lu Fei said regretfully: "It's a pity those three boats.

If it could be seized, it would be worth at least thirty thousand yuan!"

Thirty thousand yuan was already an astronomical figure in his eyes.

Wei Mingyang doesn't know the prices of goods in this era. He is just a modern person who has traveled to this era for only twenty-four hours.

But he believed that just two gunboats would cost more than 30,000 yuan. After all, the gunboats had a 70mm field gun on them.

In addition, the cargo ship is also an engine-driven mechanical ship, not a wooden ship with human hands to set the sail.

"It's a pity! Those are all money, all money!" Yang Dazhu also said.

Just as he finished echoing this sentence, he heard Lu Fei shout loudly: "The camp! It's bad! The Japanese warships! So many warships!"

His tone was very urgent. Wei Mingyang snatched the telescope from Yang Dazhu's hand and looked in the direction Lu Fei was looking.

This time, I really didn't need to look too hard to see that at least ten warships flying plaster flags were coming up from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

No one would believe that those warships were just here for tourism.

"It's coming for us!" Lu Fei said with certainty.

Wei Mingyang looked to the other side and saw that Gu Zuo and the others had rushed to the riverside and the motorcycle stopped.

The officers and soldiers of the Fourth Company did not go down the road, but waited on the road.

When they refused to go through, the Japanese who had just struggled ashore from the river took the initiative to approach.

Gu Zuo glanced around: there were more than thirty Japanese approaching him.

The Japanese who had not come over were all struggling in the river.

He made a signal to the left and right, and all sixteen soldiers were ready.

I saw that the nearest Japs were already in front of me, and the furthest Japs were within thirty meters.

Gu Zuo pulled out his command knife with a "Whoosh!" and ordered loudly: "Fire!"

The command knife in his hand was used to strike down the nearest Japs with one strike.

These unarmed Japanese who had just floated ashore from the river did not react at all and were mowed down by machine guns.
Chapter completed!
