As soon as Chen Zifeng entered the cockpit, he said to the captain: "Are there any outsiders on your boat?"
The captain blinked at him and suddenly said with a smile: "If there are outsiders, it is you. The others are all my crew members."
Chen Zifeng still stared at him, "Are they all crew members who have been with you for a long time?"
The captain hesitated and said, "Of course there are also new crew members. Crew members are always changed."
Chen Zifeng roared angrily, "You fucking bastard! Call him out now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a dull and violent explosion in the cabin! The whole ferry shook!
Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng turned around and rushed out of the cockpit.
25-34
After exiting the cockpit, Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng were both surprised. Behind the cockpit was the iron door leading to the cabin. At this time, thick smoke was pouring out of the iron door.
The crew members in the engine room covered their mouths and were escaping from the iron door, shouting: "There is water in the engine room! The ship is going to sink!"
At this time, another crew member wearing oil-stained overalls escaped from the engine room. But without saying anything, he jumped into the river and swam downstream.
Chen Zifeng shouted: "You bastard! Beat him to death! Beat him to death!"
Several rifles on the ferry were raised and fired continuously! The guy was shot in the head and sank quickly!
Xiao Ancheng pulled Chen Zifeng and said, "Zifeng, leave him alone! There is a lifeboat on the ship! Send Chief Guo to the lifeboat!"
At this time, the ferry was gradually tilting. Obviously, a lot of water had entered the cabin! The ferry was about to sink!
The captain directed the two crew members to finally put the lifeboat into the river and looked back at Chen Zifeng.
Chen Zifeng was so angry that he went crazy! He didn't expect that Tanaka Tomi secretly communicated with the Japanese spies! He didn't expect that the Japanese actually wanted to blow them all up in the Yangtze River!
He turned back and said: "Sir Guo, please get on the boat! We must escort you ashore!"
Xiao Ancheng helped Chief Guo get into the lifeboat and then looked back at Chen Zifeng.
Chen Zifeng pointed hard and said loudly: "Xiao Qiao! Leng Yue! Get on the boat! An Thief, you also get on the boat with me! Qiang Hu! The remaining brothers are left to you! You have to take them to swim ashore! And
Staff Officer Deng and the driver are also entrusted to you!"
Qiang Hu said: "No problem! This place is closer to the other side. We will try to come ashore to find you!"
At this time, Qiao Yanfang, who had already boarded the lifeboat, screamed to him: "Qiang Hu, give me the machine gun!"
Qiang Hu ran over with a machine gun and a bag of gunpowder, handed it to Qiao Yanfang, and said, "Xiao Qiao, this matter is definitely not over! You have to be careful!"
Qiao Yanfang said viciously: "You have to watch out for me too! Damn it, come back alive!"
Qiang Hu grinned at her, "No problem! No problem! We will be fine!"
25-35
At this time, Kawakami looked at the river with his telescope.
He grabbed the phone next to him and said: "Takaji-kun, tell Mr. Sato that they are on the lifeboat! There are five people on the boat! They are Chen Zifeng, Xiao Ancheng, and two women! Those sitting at the stern of the boat should be us.
The goal! Please tell the teacher that everything is fine!"
Kawakami left the small post office and quickly got into the car. He was going downstream now. The lifeboat will definitely drift downstream!
He once carefully studied with Takaji how far the lifeboat could drift downstream! The result of their calculation was that the lifeboat had to float two kilometers downstream before it could reach the shore!
There is a small village there called Bridge Village! He has already arranged people there! He is going there now!
He and Takaji agreed that no one in the lifeboat could survive!
25-36
Only when people get on the small lifeboat can they feel the vastness and width of the Yangtze River.
At this time, the five people sitting in the small lifeboat all felt the same way.
Chief Guo sat at the stern of the boat, looking left and right at the wide river surface in astonishment, and then there were the four people in front of him.
The ferry had tilted and seemed about to sink. The people on the ferry didn't know what the outcome would be! He didn't expect that his life depended on these four people! He didn't expect that the Japanese were chasing him and would end up here.
Get to the point!
Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng were sitting side by side in the middle of the boat. Their backs were facing forward and they paddled hard.
They all looked at the skewed ferry from a distance. The ferry must sink! They vaguely saw Qiang Hu organizing his brothers to make preparations. Some of them took lifebuoys, others held wooden boards, and were jumping into the river one by one, and then struggled
Swim towards the river.
Both Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng thought that the riverside was by no means a safe place! The Japanese would definitely be waiting for them by the riverside!
At the front of the boat, Qiao Yanfang and Leng Yue were lying on the bow.
Qiao Yanfang mounted the machine gun and aimed towards the shore. Leng Yue also mounted the rifle on the bow, ready to shoot at any time!
The situation on the shore worried them.
There are many trees on the shore, mixed with houses, and it seems to be a small village. The embankment is high and low, and there are many places where people can hide. If someone ambush them here, it will not be easy to deal with!
They all stared at the shore with wide eyes. If someone shot at them, they would fire back immediately! Otherwise, they might not survive on such a wide river with no hiding place!
25-37
Although Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng paddled hard, the boat still drifted downstream! They hoped to reach the shore as soon as possible!
Just when they were still three to four hundred meters away from the river, a shot was fired from the shore, and the bullet hit the side of the boat.
Qiao Yanfang was not polite. She immediately turned her gun around and fired a burst at that point of fire. After a moment, she fired another burst! The gun over there stopped firing! But she stared at that point, waiting for the gunfire to sound again!
Someone fired from another place and hit the boat in the water next to it.
Leng Yue immediately fought back! Qiao Yanfang's machine gun also turned around and fired, firing fiercely!
While rowing hard, Chen Zifeng said to Chief Guo: "Sir, please lie down, preferably on the bottom of the boat! If you are shot, the Japanese will be proud! Their first target is you!"
Chief Guo no longer cared about dignity at this time. He curled up and lay down, looking uneasily at Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng who were rowing hard, and listening to the intermittent gunshots from the shore.
Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng did not look back! At this time, it was useless to look back! They only saw that the people on the ferry had already entered the water and were swimming towards the shore.
They also heard gunshots from the shore. Qiang Hu and Yang Sanqiang were shooting from the water to the shore.
Two more points on the shore were shooting. Qiao Yanfang's machine gun fired again. Leng Yue also raised his rifle and shot at another point. The brothers in the water also shot at the shore.
This area is almost full of gunfire!
When the lifeboat was approaching the riverside, gunshots from the shore suddenly became intensive. The bullets made a series of splashes on the side of the boat, or flew past the people on the boat, making an icy whistling sound!
Qiao Yanfang's machine gun no longer fired bursts, but fired violently, quickly suppressing this firepower point!
Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng both jumped into the water, bent over, and pushed the boat closer to the shore.
Gunfire from the shore rang out non-stop. Qiao Yanfang's machine gun was not polite and fired violently, pushing them down! Leng Yue's rifle also kept firing.
25-38
Chen Zifeng chose a rocky shore and pushed the boat over.
He and Xiao Ancheng dragged Chief Guo out of the boat and ran towards the shore through the water.
The river water is tripping their legs, making it difficult to run fast! This is the most dangerous time!
On the small boat, Qiao Yanfang's machine gun fired continuously at the shore, while Leng Yue knelt in the small boat and fired to provide cover for them to get ashore!
Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng finally dragged Chief Guo behind a pile of rocks.
Qiao Yanfang and Lengyue held machine guns and rifles, shooting at the shore while running towards the shore through the water.
They gathered behind the rocks and observed the situation on the shore from left to right.
Chen Zifeng said: "Ancheng and I will lead the commander forward. You two will cover behind and try to keep up!"
Qiao Yanfang first picked up the machine gun and fired fiercely into the trees ahead. Branches and leaves fell one after another, and the bullets splashed clouds of dust on the ground.
Chen Zifeng yelled: "Let's go!"
He and Xiao Ancheng picked up Chief Guo and ran into the woods. They rushed into the woods, quickly lay on the ground, and observed the situation nearby again. Then, they picked up Chief Guo and continued to run forward!
Qiao Yanfang caught up and shouted: "Zifeng, wait a minute, I'll cover the brothers coming up!"
Xiao Ancheng grabbed her and said, "Xiao Qiao, protecting Chief Guo is the most important! We must send Chief Guo to the Military Commission as soon as possible!"
At this time, Leng Yue caught up from behind and shouted: "Go quickly! You can't stay here for a long time! Go quickly!"
As she spoke, she rushed forward with her rifle in hand.
Chen Zifeng took the machine gun from Qiao Yanfang and shouted: "Xiao Leng, slow down, you and Xiao Qiao are protecting Chief Guo! I'm in front, An is behind! Let's go! Let's go!"
As he spoke, he put the bullet bag on his shoulder, picked up the machine gun and fired while rushing forward.
Qiao Yanfang and Leng Yue held Chief Guo and followed him closely. Xiao Ancheng followed behind with a rifle in his hand.
Gunshots rang out from time to time nearby, and bullets whizzed past their heads. Every time a gunshot rang out, they would be fired upon fiercely!
They were panting rapidly, sweat streaming down their faces. The leather shoes were filled with water, making a gurgling sound.
They all stared at the area with their eyes wide open like wolves! If there was any movement nearby, they would be fired upon violently!
It's a matter of life and death now! They can't care about anything! They can only run forward as hard as they can!
Chief Guo opened his mouth wide and gasped for breath. He almost relied on Qiao Yanfang and Leng Yue to hold him up so that he could continue to move forward.
25-39
Kawakami drove to Qiaoqiao Village and soon learned that the people in the lifeboat had already landed!
This situation made him furious! Damn it! Such a wide river with no cover! They were not killed! It was totally unreasonable!
One of his men said to him: "Sir, they have machine guns! The firepower is fierce!"
This is something Kawakami never expected! Fighting in the city, they actually thought of bringing machine guns!
