194 Good men serve their country today
By the time the thirty speedboats led by Erwa rushed to within about a mile of the Japanese destroyer.
They had lost half of their ships.
"Bazooka!"
Erwa felt that the distance was enough and roared.
A soldier behind him was carrying a bazooka and quickly loaded it, trying to keep himself steady.
A rocket was fired at the oncoming Japanese destroyer "Qiufeng".
boom!
A moment later, the good news was that the rocket hit the Japanese destroyer.
But the bad news was that the rocket hit the side of the Japanese destroyer and the power of the rocket was too small.
Apart from leaving a dent on the hull of the Japanese destroyer, it was unable to penetrate the armor.
"Damn it, Xiaowu, you missed."
Company Captain Erwa yelled at the rocket launcher man behind him.
Whoosh whoosh!
At this time, the soldiers on other speedboats also began to fire rockets at the two oncoming Japanese destroyers.
Boom boom boom!
Rockets kept hitting the Japanese destroyers.
Some of them hit the side of the ship, but had little effect.
But some rockets hit the deck of the Japanese destroyer.
The explosion destroyed the anti-aircraft machine guns and naval guns on the Japanese destroyer, and also killed many Japanese sailors.
Unfortunately, it was too difficult for the rocket to hit the command room of the Japanese destroyer.
Otherwise, one rocket could destroy the cockpit of a Japanese destroyer and destroy the entire destroyer.
"Baga, what kind of weapon is this that the Chinese are using?"
It was the first time for the Japanese navy to see a rocket launcher and they were scared out of their wits.
"keep going!"
But even so, the Japanese destroyer commander still firmly ordered the warship to sail forward.
There was no intention of turning around at all.
The commanders of the two Japanese destroyers were also very clear about this.
We cannot let Lu Dahai complete the minelaying downstream smoothly.
Otherwise, those mines would block their return route and they would be trapped here.
The commanders and soldiers on both sides have a firm will to fight.
boom!
As the speedboats driven by the National Army soldiers got closer and closer to the two Japanese destroyers, they were destroyed by the Japanese naval guns and machine guns.
Soon, out of the thirty clipper ships, less than ten were damaged.
None of the remaining speedboats escaped and they continued to rush towards the Japanese destroyers.
"Baga, are all Chinese so crazy?"
On the destroyer Qiufeng, the Japanese captain looked at the Kuomintang soldiers on the speedboat with surprise and horror in his eyes.
"These Chinese are all warriors."
The Japanese first mate next to them also had some admiration for these National Army soldiers.
Even though I knew it was impossible, I still didn't give up.
Even these unscrupulous Japanese devils know how to respect brave warriors.
"Humph, it's just like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm."
The Japanese captain remained disdainful.
In fact, the sacrifice of these national army soldiers was not worthless.
At least, the bullets and rockets they fired destroyed several anti-aircraft machine guns and naval guns on the two Japanese destroyers.
At the same time, dozens of Japanese sailors were shot and killed.
But Captain Erwa knew that they still had not completed the mission.
Because Lu Dahai asked them to delay the two Japanese destroyers from approaching the downstream mine-laying area.
But now, the two Japanese destroyers are still moving at full speed, with no intention of slowing down or turning.
If we don't force the two Japanese destroyers to slow down or turn.
In the end, they were still able to reach the downstream minefield after a dozen minutes.
That's not okay.
But soon, all the rockets carried by Captain Erwa and his men were used up.
After all, these small speedboats are not large in tonnage and can only carry a few soldiers. They cannot carry too many weapons and ammunition.
Whoosh whoosh!
Then, a burst of dense bullets came.
Suddenly, all the soldiers on Erwa’s ship became silent.
Even Captain Erwa himself was hit by a bullet.
The Clippers lost control, their speed gradually slowed down, and their direction also changed.
It was not until a moment later that Erwa struggled to get up. He was shot in the chest, but he was holding on to his last breath.
"Is anyone still alive?"
Erwa shouted.
"Captain, it's me!"
A soldier at the back raised his hand.
"Xiao Wu, you are a tough boy."
Erwa crawled over the bodies of his comrades and hammered the soldier.
Then, Erwa quickly checked the engine at the back of the clipper and found that it was not damaged by the Japanese bullets.
"Thank goodness, the engine is not broken."
Erwa was excited.
"Damn you little Japs, I'm going to fight you to the death."
"Battalion Commander, Commander Ye, Erwa is leaving first."
Then, Erwa turned around to look in the direction of Lu Dahai downstream and raised his hand to salute.
At this point, Erwa had no other choice.
He was shot and wouldn't live long.
Before he died, he still wanted to fight back against the Japanese.
Even before I die, I will tear a piece of flesh from the devil.
This is what Ye Qingshan once told them.
"Xiaowu, are you afraid?
If you were afraid, you would have rolled into the river now."
Erwa looked at the soldier named Xiaowu beside him. His childish face reminded Erwa of himself when he had joined the army not long ago.
He gave Xiaowu a chance to survive.
But the chance is very slim.
He rolled into the river right in the middle of the river and was injured, escaping death.
"Captain, I'm not afraid.
I'll go with you."
Xiaowu seemed to have a premonition of what his company commander was going to do.
He did not choose to jump into the river, but chose to face it together with his company commander.
“Good boy, good job.
Then let's go to the underworld together."
Erwa touched Xiaowu's head, then crawled over and took a few bundles of explosives.
At the same time, let Xiaowu go to the stern and control the speedboat's engine.
They picked up the speed of their speedboats and continued to rush towards the Japanese destroyers.
"Then let us make peace with the Japanese warships.
Xiaowu, run over there at full speed.
The target is the battleship in front of the Japanese."
Erwa shouted loudly.
"Yes, Captain."
Erwa's speedboat was running at full speed, like a sharp arrow, shooting towards the Qiufeng destroyer in front of the Japanese invaders.
Then, Company Captain Erwa fixed several bundles of explosives at the bow of the ship.
The fuse was pulled.
"The flag is fluttering, the horse is rustling, the spear is on the shoulder and the knife is on the waist...
Good men, good men, serve your country today..."
Erwa stared at the approaching Japanese destroyer Qiufeng and hummed the ballad "The Flag Is Flying".
"idiot!
Stop the Chinese ship!"
At this time, the Japanese destroyer Qiufeng was on the deck.
Some Japanese officers had already discovered the speedboat led by Captain Erwa that was rushing towards them.
Just now, the Japanese officers thought they had all been shot to death.
At this time, seeing the speedboat speeding up again and rushing towards them, he became panicked and shouted loudly to the machine gunner next to him.
The Japanese machine gunner opened fire immediately.
Da da da!
Dense bullets flew over and hit Company Captain Erwa, but he smiled.
boom!
The next second, his speedboat, at a speed of more than ten knots, crashed into the left front side of the Japanese destroyer Qiufeng and exploded!
