Chapter 338 Explosion is the real art
The Japanese oil tanker had been pierced by six Gatling guns on the spot, and gasoline was flowing everywhere. A lot of gasoline was spilled both on the gasoline tanker and on the water.
The two Japanese warships have already responded. The roar of the propellers hitting the water has begun to sound, and the main guns have also begun to adjust their angles. It can be said that this is already a very critical moment.
"Brother Yun, what should we do now?"
The comrades on the other assault boat were a little nervous. If they couldn't divert the Japanese's attention at this time, the next two assault boats would soon be blown to pieces.
"I know what to do?"
At this time, Brother Yun, who was in the lead, also had a headache. He silently yelled something in his heart, but he did not say it out loud. At this time, he must bring hope to the team.
"Xiao Lin, didn't the Eighth Route Army comrades send another box of special bullets? They said there were armor-piercing bullets and the like inside. Let's take a look first!"
Brother Yun loosened the trigger of the Gatling gun in his hand for a moment, turned his head and said to the young man behind him.
The tacit understanding created by their long-term cooperation made it unnecessary for Brother Yun to say more. The young man simply rushed into the cabin, opened the ammunition box, and opened a package of bullets.
"Armor-piercing bullets."
"tracer."
"Incendiary."
......
When he heard about tracer bullets and incendiary bombs, Brother Yun's eyes lit up.
"Brother Yun, what kind of bullets can you use? They are all 7.92mm caliber."
"Stop talking nonsense. There's a Chinese rifle next to me. Hurry up and load it for me. Damn, tracer bullets and incendiary bullets are fine! Incendiary bullets are the best!
Hahahaha, this is enough to give the Japanese a hard time!"
The Gatling gun in Brother Yun's hand once again sprayed out powerful firepower. It felt great to have a glimmer of hope in the midst of despair.
The young man didn't waste any time. He operated the rifle with both hands and tore open the oil paper packaging of the incendiary bombs with his mouth. He then held the two incendiary bombs in his mouth.
Pull the bolt to load the gun.
The young man didn't hesitate at all and pulled the trigger at the oil tanker decisively.
Two shots in a row.
At this time, the gasoline had been in full contact with the air, producing a large amount of gasoline vapor in the air. When the bullet hit the steel plate of the oil tanker, two sparks suddenly lit up.
Then, with these two sparks as the center, the flames began to spread rapidly. The speed of spread was so fast that in almost the blink of an eye, almost the entire river was filled with flames.
"Comrades, hold on tight!"
The two assault boats, which had originally reduced their speed due to fear of the blockade by the two warships, increased their speed again, like two arrows that broke through the barrier of flames.
Just as the two speedboats crossed the blockade of the two warships in the moment of flashing flames, a series of explosions suddenly sounded behind them, and raging flames rose into the sky again.
Along with the appearance of raging flames, the explosion caused the gasoline in the tanker's cabin to explode again.
Add fuel to the fire!
The sky was already filled with flames, which now shot up into the sky again, followed by an even more violent explosion.
The explosion intensified the fire, which in turn fueled the intensity of the explosion.
After just two or three minutes of spreading, the entire river channel and even the entire estuary were filled with flames. At this time, the entire estuary of the Huangpu River was as bright as day.
The water was covered with flames, and the sky was reflected in a bright red, gorgeous blood red.
Explosion is the highest art at this moment.
The two speedboats and the people on them that caused all this had no time to pay attention to the beautiful explosion at this moment. They only wanted to get away from this place of trouble as soon as possible.
The two Japanese warships had no time to chase the two speedboats at this time. The closer one had even been caught in the fire, so they could only avoid them as soon as possible.
When the Japanese gendarmerie troops appeared at the gate in several groups, they only saw the sky as bright as day at two o'clock in the morning, the fiery red water of the Huangpu River, and a group of wailing Japanese soldiers.
Apart from the mess, there was no gain. Not to mention the speedboat, not even a hair of the eight people was seen.
After breaking through the Japanese gate, the assault boat continued to move forward and went straight into the vast ocean, speeding towards the direction of Su Province.
More than an hour later, seeing that there were no pursuers approaching, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Yun, where did we get this speedboat that's so useful? If we get a few more, we can use it to fire Gatling guns at the enemy. It would be so much fun."
Xiao Lin put down the Zhongzheng rifle in his hand, let out a long breath, and said to Brother Yun who was in the lead.
"You kid, do you know how much it cost to get these two assault boats from the Americans?"
"How many?"
"Ten thousand dollars, and they didn't even bargain. And they added another two thousand dollars just to weld these broken steel plates. I'm so heartbroken."
"What?"
The price shocked the young man named Xiaolin.
Who the hell knew this thing was so expensive.
"However, the results of our battle this time have exceeded our expectations, and the money spent is definitely worth it! Not to mention the money earned, the losses from the explosion of the Japanese oil tanker are at least dozens of times our investment cost.
There is just one bad thing. We should be more cautious in Shanghai and its surrounding areas in the near future. The Japanese will definitely find a way to retaliate after suffering such a big loss."
As the leader of the column, Brother Yun was still very cautious about the situation before him.
"Brother Yun, this time, thanks to our Eighth Route Army comrades who sent us so many weapons and ammunition, not only the weapons we used in the assault on Shanghai, but also the firepower level of our entire New Fourth Army has been greatly improved.
The development speed of our brother troops far exceeds ours.
It’s true that people are more likely to die than others. "
The young man called Kobayashi sat in the cabin, resting and sighing.
"Yes, the weapons we are using this time may not even be available to the Japanese. These past few years have been the most difficult time for us in our fight against the Japanese. But judging from the current situation, I am increasingly hopeful that we can win this war soon.
Moreover, have you noticed that since the comrades of the Eighth Route Army fought the battle of Ping'an County a few days ago and the whole Shanxi area was in chaos, the pressure on us in the south has been much less, and we can develop rapidly next.
In the past, the Japanese must have had extremely tight defenses in Shanghai. It was impossible for an oil tanker to be parked next to a warship and the defense to be empty.
It can be said that the comrades of the Eighth Route Army shouldered a large part of the pressure for us.”
After resting for a while, Brother Yun made some analysis on the current situation, which made the people traveling with him nod their heads continuously.
"Brother Yun, why don't you come over and have a rest? I'll take your place?" Xiao Lin said.
"Goodbye. I was so fierce in shooting the Japs with the Gatling gun just now that several hot shell casings fell into my shoes. I guess the burns are very serious. Now I dare not move. It hurts if I move. Those damn Japs.
hiss! "
As he said this, Brother Yun took a breath and cursed the Japanese.
"Hahaha!"
Everyone was laughing.
PS: This plot is exaggerated based on real history. In fact, the Fourth Master was quite powerful in Shanghai back then, and it was common for him to ride a small boat to the Huangpu River to find someone to repair a broken machine gun.
