Chapter 1149 Warship Explosion
The massive shockwave from the explosion caused the surrounding river water to churn.
With his experience, Jiang Wenming crouched down and quickly changed the cannon barrel, preparing for the next round of attack.
Another dazzling flash streaked across the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar, and the second shell hit its target accurately.
The whole scene was incredibly shocking, even Jiang Wenxun and the others standing nearby were stunned.
Ni Hong and his men genuinely had no idea that the Communist army possessed such convenient artillery barrels.
Years later, when they took up arms again and went to the battlefield, seeing the weapons of Jiang Jiyuan and his men and the current operation of Jiang Wenming, they couldn't help but feel an indescribable shock.
The People's Liberation Army has grown to such an astonishing size!
Looking back, their unit was poorly equipped and paled in comparison to the enemy.
On their side, the principal went to great lengths to purchase advanced weapons from overseas, but even so, the team at that time was far from being as powerful as it is today.
However, due to limited financial resources, only a few divisions and training corps actually received these foreign equipment, and many other units simply replaced their helmets with German-style steel helmets.
When faced with the enemy's fierce attack, the deep sense of lack of firepower and helplessness is still vivid in my memory.
But who could have predicted that?
In just a few short years, everything has changed dramatically.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) now possesses not only a variety of sophisticated weapons and equipment, but more importantly, its ammunition supply is also exceptionally abundant.
These changes undoubtedly brought them unprecedented encouragement and inspiration, and their already firm belief in defeating those Japanese devils became even more steadfast!
Shi Dayong ran over excitedly, his face full of envy, and asked, "Brother, teach me how to use this thing! It looks so cool!"
Jiang Wenming smiled and nodded, then patiently began to explain to Shi Dayong how to operate the mortar and rocket launcher.
He not only explained the function and role of each component in detail, but also personally demonstrated a complete shooting procedure.
At the same time, he specifically reminded everyone that the recoil of this weapon is quite large, and if they do not know how to maintain their balance, they may fall into the river due to insufficient strength.
Ye Yuncheng, Qu Jiang, Lu Yi, and others listened attentively and studied diligently.
As the enemy warships launched a counterattack, Ye Yuncheng and the others immediately fired a volley of shells, then quickly put down their weapons and leaped onto one raft after another.
The enemy ship that was trying to escape had been hit by a shell and was now not far away. In order to prevent the Japanese soldiers on board from escaping, they had to pursue them and kill those enemy soldiers who were trying to escape.
"vomit......"
"Ugh..." Jiang Jiyun endured his physical discomfort and vomited repeatedly while shooting.
The continuous explosions caused the river to surge and the boat to rock violently, making her, who was already prone to seasickness, even more miserable and even causing her to experience severe seasickness symptoms.
Qin Heng asked worriedly, "Patriarch, do you want to take some medicine? You seem to be seasick!"
Jiang Jiyun wiped away the tears that welled up from gagging and said helplessly, "I've already taken it, but it doesn't seem to be working very well!"
Xiao Wei and Qin Rui were busy eliminating the remaining enemies hiding in the cabin.
As the ship rocked violently again and again, their bodies were already splattered with the enemy's blood.
They are completely unaware of what is happening outside. Xiao Wei has not received a call from Jiang Jiyun, nor has he heard her voice. All he can do is keep burning incense or scattering sleeping powder.
Despite their coordinated efforts, the ship's cabin was simply too large and complex, and after more than an hour of work, they were still unable to completely clear out the Japanese soldiers hiding inside.
At this moment, the deck was engulfed in flames of battle. Jiang Jiyun and Qin Heng stood side by side, their guns spitting fire as dense bullets rained down on the enemy lines.
After several rounds of fierce fighting, the two men had changed their ammunition magazines several times, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers around them had piled up like mountains.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
Amidst a series of deafening roars, a tremendous explosion suddenly erupted from deep within the ship's hold.
In an instant, raging flames shot into the sky, and the entire warship was completely engulfed in a sea of fire.
Xiao Wei held Qin Rui's hand tightly, and without hesitation, he leaped into the icy river, using the current to quickly move away from the swaying, capsizing giant ship.
Jiang Jiyun and Qin Heng, who were on the deck, immediately jumped off the ship and plunged into the turbulent river the moment they felt the shockwave from the explosion.
At this very moment, the Japanese troops, who were being fiercely resisted by the New Fourth Army and Jiang Jiyuan and others on the riverbank, saw their two warships engulfed in flames and collapse one after another. Like a pack of mad beasts, they began to fight back desperately.
"Comrades! Charge!!!" A stirring and inspiring shout rang out, instantly igniting the entire battlefield.
At the same time, the melodious bugle call swept in, echoing in the ears of every soldier.
In an instant, the soldiers leaped from the trenches, rifles in hand, and charged toward the enemy without hesitation.
Just then, Zhang Qi and Qiao Qiusheng, who had just reached the shallows and quietly landed, suddenly heard deafening explosions and rousing bugle calls coming from afar.
The sounds intertwined, like a breathtaking symphony, making their hearts race and their blood boil.
"Brother Sheng, they really won! I think I heard the bugle call!" Zhang Qi couldn't hide his excitement, tightly gripping Qiao Qiusheng's arm and asking with a face full of anticipation.
His eyes gleamed, as if he could already see the dawn of victory.
Qiao Qiusheng was equally excited, but he tried his best to remain calm and listened carefully to the sounds around him.
After a moment, he nodded vigorously and answered with certainty, "That's right, we're about to win! That's our team's charge! Look over there, those two warships we didn't have time to attack have exploded now! Haha, this time, none of them will escape!"
At that moment, the firelight illuminated half the sky, and the river surface was dyed a fiery red.
Those Japanese soldiers who were trying to escape the battlefield panicked and crowded around the side of the boat, jumping into the river like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
However, to their surprise, what awaited them was not freedom and liberation, but bullets fired from Jiang Wenxun and his men on those small boats.
Even so, a small number of Japanese soldiers still managed to escape to the shore, where their troops were located. They believed that as long as they escaped to the shore, they could survive.
