Soon, Zhou Weiguo and the rest rushed over, but the Japanese were also chasing after them. Zhou Weiguo's actions had provoked the Japanese. They felt that it was a disgrace for a group of Chinese soldiers to break through their position.
Actually, this was normal. Zhou Weiguo had gathered the submachine guns and light machine guns at the front. Naturally, they could suppress the Japanese's firepower very well. It was very normal for them to break through their position.
"Guild Leader! The Japanese are biting us from behind. What should we do?”
He Yuchen ran to Zhou Weiguo and said loudly.
"Old method! Smoke grenades! Let's retreat towards Xing An Road!"
Zhou Weiguo said without even considering.
"Guild Leader! Xing 'an Road has been burned down by Commander Tang. If we don't have any cover, we'll become living targets for the Japanese! Why don't we take the riverside road? We can board the ship wherever it is near the Yangtze River!”
Fang Shengli, who was beside him, said loudly. All the houses on Xing 'an Road had indeed been burned down by Tang Mengxiao. Back then, before the Nanjing Defense War began, Tang Mengxiao was prepared to fight the scorched earth war and resist until the end. Therefore, he burned down all the houses on Xing 'an Road.
"No! We know that there's a dock on the riverside road, and so do the Japanese. There must be Japanese patrol boats there. We'll be courting death if we board there! We can only go to Old River Mouth. If we go to Old River Mouth, there's still a chance of survival!”
Didn't Zhou Weiguo know what Fang Shengli was talking about? Of course he knew, but he also understood that there was no dock on the riverside road, which was more suitable for boarding. But they knew, and so did the Japanese! The Japanese must have a patrol fleet there.
"He Yuchen, use the old method to block the Japanese. Chang Debiao, take 30 men and set up a mine field on the road to stop the Japanese. He had to be fast! Victory, you take a battalion and hurry to Old River Mouth to set up a temporary defense position.”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhou Weiguo gave the order in such a short period of time.
And the reason for setting up a blockade was simple. There were enough ships there to carry more than a thousand people. But you also need time to board the ship!
You couldn't possibly say that it would take only a few seconds to get on the ship, right?
At this time, it was very likely that the Japanese would catch up. That was why Zhou Weiguo asked Fang Shengli to set up a blockade.
Fang Shengli led his men and quickly ran to the front. They still had to set up a temporary defensive position at the old river mouth.
When Fang Shengli and the 1st Battalion had not finished setting up the temporary defensive position at Old River Mouth, Zhou Weiguo arrived with the people behind him.
"Victory! How's the formation?"
"Guild Leader! It's only halfway done!"
"It's too late. We'll rely on the favorable terrain to stop them. Hurry up! Leaving behind a few heavy machine guns, the rest were set up, and the mortars found their positions.
He Yuchen, bring your men and come with me to get the boat!”
After Zhou Weiguo gave the order, he didn't even have time to catch his breath and ran into a small forest with his men.
Zhou Weiguo led them into the forest and stopped at a mountain depression.
"Engineer shovel, quickly dig this place!”
As Zhou Weiguo spoke, he took a shovel and started to work. The cavalry soldiers did the same.
Zhou Weiguo wanted to curse as he dug. What kind of sh * tty system is this? How did you hide the ship down here? He had to dig this place to get the boat.
If the system knew what Zhou Weiguo was thinking, it would definitely complain. There was nothing it could do! Wasn't this for the sake of security and confidentiality?
Otherwise, what would happen if the Japanese found out?
Fortunately, the system still knew to make it convenient for Zhou Weiguo. The soil was not thick, and after a few shovels, a large hole was dug out. Soon, the group of people dug out a hole that was seven to eight meters wide and about the height of a person.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you how to use this ship!”
Zhou Weiguo saw the ship inside after he entered. When he saw that the soldiers were about to carry it away, he immediately said.
The boat was actually a wooden boat. An engine was installed on top and a propeller was installed at the bottom. It was that simple. He had no choice. If he wanted to get a steel landing craft, he had to have a territory. Only with a territory could he get a steel landing craft.
"Do you see this button? When the others come up later, you just have to press this button. There was a steering wheel in front of them that controlled the direction. Later, our target will be the eastern part of Pukou District, which is Taishan Town. We will meet up at Taishan Town. If I am not wrong, that place has not been occupied by the Japanese. If the Japanese occupy it, you will go down the river and meet up at Jade Belt Town!”
Zhou Weiguo looked at them and said," Jade Belt Town. If this place continues to develop according to history, Jade Belt Town will only be occupied by the Japanese on the 15th." Today was the 13th, and tomorrow was the 14th. They would not be occupied by the Japanese. It would only be occupied by the Japanese's 101st Regiment on the 15th. Then, the Japanese would start attacking Chuzhou.
"Good!"
Then, wooden boats with engines were carried out one by one.
With the efforts of three to four hundred people, all the wooden boats inside were soon carried to the riverside.
When Zhou Weiguo ran to the temporary sniper position, Fang Shengli was already fighting with the Japanese.
"Victory! How's the situation?"
Zhou Weiguo hid behind a rock and shouted loudly.
"The Japanese are attacking very fiercely. We are now being attacked by two large groups of Japanese soldiers.”
Fang Shengli shouted.
"Good! Stop them! 20 minutes. We only need to hold them off for 20 minutes. After that, we will retreat immediately. After we destroy the heavy weapons, we will retreat immediately!”
"Good!"
Zhou Weiguo hurriedly ran back.
After running back, Zhou Weiguo saw the soldiers scrambling to board the ship. He Yuchen and Chang Debiao were maintaining order!”
"Bang ~"
Zhou Weiguo was furious when he saw this scene. What were these people trying to do? Whenever there was a chance to escape, they would fight for it. They raised the submachine gun in their hands and fired bullets. Everyone stopped and looked at Zhou Weiguo.
"What are you all fighting for? The wounded and sick go first! The others were the last to go! What was there to be afraid of? Are you afraid that the Japanese will bite off your legs?”
Those people did not speak, nor did they dare to speak. After a day and a night of continuous battles, Zhou Weiguo's command had already convinced them. He had begun to establish his prestige in this army.
"Guild Leader! Sister-in-law had already sent her to a boat! Let's retreat as soon as possible!"
Xu Hu ran over and said.
Zhou Weiguo looked up and saw Xiao Ya sitting on a ship and looking at him. However, because Xiao Ya was a sensible girl, she knew that Zhou Weiguo was a senior officer and had to take the lead, so she did not call him a merchant ship at this time. However, the meaning in her eyes was very obvious.
