Chapter 30 Chapter 26 Fierce Battle on the River

"What?" Several people exclaimed.Everyone was filled with grief and indignation when they heard the news. "Let's go get the body of No. 14 back!" Instructor Wang leaned on a sofa, looked up at the ceiling without saying a word. "Instructor Wang, you just said something." Mu Liangfeng and Mengzi were in a hurry: "Let's grab the body of No. 14 and leave." "We can't take a few more lives for a dead man." Instructor Wang finally said: "Maybe the devils just want to use this trick to provoke us to snatch the corpses, so that we can catch them all. This is an extraordinary period, everyone must not act impulse."

He was right, but Mu Liangfeng sounded weird. "You guys go to the back room for dinner first! Take a break after that, and prepare to leave here on a Yankee boat." Instructor Wang said as he opened a suitcase, and took out three stacks of banknotes from it, and gave them to Mu Liangfeng, Meng Zi and Xiao Wu respectively. A stack of hands. "You paid for this money with your life. Our military command does what it says, 20,000 per person, you count. Your troops are still repairing at the old place and may be heading to Guangxi in the near future." "They are really idle. We fought so hard here, and they are still resting in place." Xiao Wu joked.Several people took the money while talking.

Instructor Wang sighed: "Your troops may have fierce battles in the near future, and now it is time to recharge your batteries. Well, you go to the back room to eat first! Then take a rest!" A military command agent said: "Come in with me! The food is ready, eat something and take the boat later." Mu Liangfeng and the others had no appetite to eat at all, so they shook their heads and went into the back room.Inside is a large "staff dormitory" with several beds. Mu Liangfeng is lying on the bed, and the experience of a few months in the army flashed before his eyes. Seeing that Meng Zi has fallen asleep, Xiao Wu Still counting his money in bed—he must have never seen so much money.

Mu Liangfeng fell asleep in the midst of the murderous meditation, and I don't know how long it took, Meng Zi shook him awake, Mu Yangfeng got up quickly, and a blond-haired, green-eyed American was chatting with Instructor Wang. Seeing Mu Liangfeng and the three of them come out, they spoke in English.Instructor Wang translated and said: "He is Captain Will. He said that you are welcome to join his 'Goddess', but I hope you will not be equipped with weapons and guns. The Americans are responsible for your safety." After the translation, Instructor Wang said: "Don't believe the lies of the Americans. It is still the old rule that everyone is equipped with a pistol. You can go with him! I hope to have the opportunity to fight side by side again in the future." He gave him a A note with an address written on it.

"Get off the car at the provincial capital, and then go look for it at this address. Someone will arrange a car to take you back to the army." Everyone said goodbye one by one, but did not see them off. Captain Will's car was parked downstairs, and several people got in the car and went straight to the pier. Because the car had an American flag on it, the devil's inspection along the way did not embarrass them. The "Goddess" is a small freighter with a capacity of nearly 1,000 tons. As soon as they boarded the ship, Captain Will asked them to change into a set of clothes worn by the crew, and then blew the whistle and sailed out of the Yangtze River Estuary.

According to historical records, in the early days of the fall of Wuhan, foreign ships were still able to sail freely in Changsha.However, after the outbreak of the Pacific War on December 8, 1941, the Japanese army confiscated all ships of other nationalities and Chinese ships with foreign flags parked in Hankou Port, and the Japanese navy authorities handed them over to East Asia Shipping Co., Ltd. for use.The Yangtze River shipping is completely monopolized by "East Asia". After the puppet Wang established Zhonghua Shipping Co., Ltd., Chinese ships flying foreign flags in Hankou Port will fly the flag of puppet Wang and resume the Hanshen route.In order to prevent US plane bombing, most ships have no fixed schedule, sailing at night and stopping during the day.The section of the Yangtze River and the river routes in Hubei Province are operated by Wuhan Communications Co., Ltd. and Dai Shengchang Shipping Bureau jointly established by Japan and the Wang puppet government. It has opened Hankou to Shiliyao, Gedian, Xindi, Yueyang, Yangluo, Jiujiang, Wuhu, etc. route.

The "Goddess" had just sailed into the middle of the river when a devil's patrol boat chased it up. The little devil shouted desperately with a megaphone: "Please stop the boat in front for inspection!" Captain Will gave a strange cry and ordered the ship to stop. Several devils jumped on board with an interpreter. The leading devil officer saluted Captain Will politely: "Please send all The crew are gathered on the deck, and we have to conduct routine inspections." Relying on the backing of the American flag behind him, Captain Will said in a tough tone: "This is an American merchant ship, and you have no right to search it."

The interpreter patiently helped to explain, but Will just didn't cooperate, and the little devils got angry: "Bageyalu!" The sharp bayonet was raised high, and Mu Liangfeng looked at the devil patrol boat next to him, The black muzzles of one machine gun and two machine guns were aimed at the "Goddess". The devil officer still maintained some "grace": "Mr. Captain, I hope you can cooperate with the inspection, otherwise we have the right to detain your ship and personnel." Captain Will, like a defeated rooster, blushed and called all the crew members to the deck. The devils immediately rushed into the cabin to search around. The "Goddess" transported some ordinary and legal cargo, and the devils did not An exception was found.

"Search them!" The devil officer issued an order. Captain Will jumped up: "This is absolutely not acceptable. You have no right to search us. I will ask our government to sue you." The little devil didn't seem to have heard this sentence, and searched them one by one. Mu Liangfeng, Mengzi and Xiao Wu looked at each other.Mu Liangfeng shook his head, and Mengzi and Xiao Wu also knew that if they fired their guns at this time, it would undoubtedly be tantamount to suicide, and they might even implicate a whole bunch of innocent American friends. The devil found a pistol from the three of them.

"Eight grids!" The butts of the guns of several devils hit the three of them heavily. Captain Will didn't expect that these three Chinese people would not listen to his advice, and secretly equipped with guns. His face changed: "You can't hit my crew." The devil officer waved his hand: "Take the three of them to the gendarmerie." Captain Will stopped him: "He is an employee of the United States, and I asked them to bring the gun." "you?" "Yes!" Captain Will said sternly. "Don't you know that it is illegal to hide guns?" The devil officer said: "In addition, several friends of the imperial army were shot dead this time. We are looking for suspects everywhere. These three * people have guns on their bodies, so they are serious suspects."

"There are often bandits along the way who rob us. It is normal for us to bring a few guns for self-defense." Mu Liangfeng explained. When Will heard that this excuse was quite good, he immediately used it: "Yes, we have a shipment of goods. Your safety depends on the protection of these guns." The devils were not forgiving, and did not dare to blatantly confront the Americans. They only insisted on taking away Mu Liangfeng and the three of them, while more than a dozen American crew members stood in front of them. The two sides were at a stalemate for a while. Alarms sounded everywhere in the city, and several Chinese Air Force planes appeared on the river. After the fall of Wuhan, the Chinese and U.S. Air Forces would dispatch air groups to bomb important enemy targets in the occupied areas from time to time. The devils couldn't care less about Mu Liangfeng and the others, they all yelled and ran back to the patrol boat, ready to escape for their lives. Several planes clearly saw the "Goddess" cargo ship with the American flag and the devil's patrol boat. After circling at a low altitude on the river, the machine guns fired after the little devil's patrol boat. While fleeing for their lives, the devils frantically fired back at the sky with machine guns... The Yankees and Mu Liangfeng on the boat were all overjoyed and danced on the boat. In two minutes, the hapless devil patrol boat caught fire and sank, and several devils jumped into the water and shouted for help. Captain Will looked at the three Chinese, meaning to ask them if they wanted to save these Japanese devils.Mu Liangfeng nodded, and the Americans let down the rope and pulled up the two devil soldiers and the officer.The little devil is so "dedicated" that he didn't throw away his gun when he was about to die.As soon as they boarded the boat, Mu Liangfeng and the others handed over their guns, then kicked them back into the water, picked up the guns and slowly shot the devils who fell into the water Mu Liangfeng and their actions stunned the Yankees on board. Captain Will shrugged his shoulders and made a face. He said to his American colleagues with an innocent look: "This is a matter for the Chinese and Japanese. We You have no right to interfere with what they are doing!"
