Chapter 255
When the first batch of landing troops of the 34th Division finally came out of the waist-deep water, they thought they could set foot on solid, hard ground, but they stepped down and sank directly into the ground.
"oops!"
A soldier couldn't help but make a sound.
Next to him, his platoon leader glared at him immediately, and cursed in a low voice: "What are you yelling for, shut up, shit..."
Before he finished speaking, the platoon leader also let out an exclamation. He stepped into the mud and his whole calf sank in.
Not just the two of them, the comrades around stepped into the mud one by one, and then pulled out their legs with difficulty and moved forward step by step. Not anymore.
"Damn, what kind of broken ground is this, why is it so difficult to walk!"
"Yeah, didn't you say that Orange Beach is a good place to go?"
"Let's not go to the wrong place!"
"Did the boatman find the wrong place?"
"Impossible, the boatman can be wrong, but those who cross the river first can't be wrong."
"Let's go forward first, I guess this place is not easy to walk!"
More than 600 people were struggling on the muddy Hutou beach. Some of them fell into the mud without standing still, and their bodies were covered with mud.
"Damn it, who the hell chose a place to make me suffer!"
"Don't scold, this was chosen by the teacher!"
"The teacher chose..."
The man hesitated for a moment, but kept his mouth shut.
Just when everyone didn't know how long they would have to walk on this muddy beach, suddenly, a gunshot sounded from the direction of the campfire.
Immediately afterwards, a soldier fell to the ground!
Like a starting gun, in an instant, firecracker-like gunfire rang out one after another, and the bullets drew a line of fire in the night sky, and then shot through the bodies of soldiers one by one.
The sudden attack stunned the vanguard of the 34th Division, but fortunately they were mentally prepared in advance, knowing that a company of No.16 Division was stationed here.
Therefore, this group of people didn't care about the muddy ground anymore. They either knelt on the ground, or simply lay down in the mud and fought back.
In the big black sky, everyone actually couldn't see the situation on the other side clearly, and could only shoot randomly based on their feelings.
But the Sixteenth Division has already dug trenches and arranged bunkers, so the safety factor is naturally high.
However, the soldiers of the 34th Division on Hutou Beach could only lower their bodies as low as possible to avoid being hit by bullets.
However, although the gunfire was intensive, the soldiers of the 34th Division were not in a hurry to wipe out the enemies on the beach. After all, if they wiped out too quickly, they would alarm the [-]th Division's second batch of troops crossing the river.
Therefore, Lin Hongfei's task for the soldiers of the 34th Division ambushing at Hutou Beach was to hold back the vanguard of the [-]th Division as much as possible and attract the second batch of troops to cross the river as soon as possible.
Sure enough, Liu Wanyi on the other side of the river vaguely heard a burst of gunfire, and he immediately thought it was the vanguard troops fighting with the garrison of the [-]th Division on Orange Beach!
No, the second batch of troops must be sent across the river immediately!
At this time, the second batch of troops had already boarded the ship, and Liu Wanyi immediately ordered:
"Brothers, immediately cross the river to support the vanguard. If this battle is won, each person's reward will be increased by 5 yuan!"
"Come on, Master!"
"Just look at it!"
"Brothers promise to beat the crap out of the Sixteenth Division!"
The morale of the second batch of troops crossing the river was high. Driven by money, they urged the boatman to sail immediately!
As the second batch of troops began to move towards the opposite bank, Liu Wanyi focused all his attention on them, and did not notice that there were two dark figures on the river in the distance. These were the Jiangdu and Jiangbei who had been hiding for a long time. Two ironclad gunboats!
It was not until a long siren sounded that Liu Wanyi noticed something was wrong on the river.
At this time, there was only a whoosh sound, and a white light shot out from the Jiangbei, then across the night, and finally burst into a dazzling light in the night sky, and the nearby dark river surface was instantly illuminated clearly!
"Master, those are Lin Hongfei's two ironclad ships!" an officer said in shock!
Liu Wanyi couldn't help but tremble in his heart, didn't those two iron-clad ships go to Yudong to hunt down water bandits?
How did they appear here!
However, before he could react, chains of fire hit the boats still on the river in an instant!
Wooden boats, how could they withstand the firepower of the machine guns on the gunboat? In just a few seconds, several wooden boats were immediately shattered, and the surface of the river was bursting with blood.
"Retreat quickly, let them withdraw quickly!" Liu Wanyi roared heart-piercingly.
However, it was too late now, and the second batch of troops was about to reach the middle of the river, so even if they wanted to retreat, they would not be able to change direction immediately.
What's more, the Jiangdu has already used the ship's machine guns and cannons to block the ship's retreat position.
At this moment, the main gun on the Jiangdu turned its muzzle and aimed at the position of Liu Wanyi and others on the shore. With a loud noise, the cannon was ejected, making a sharp piercing sound in the air, and then landed on the ground with a perfect parabola. Among the crowd on the shore!
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise, and limbs flew across the body in an instant!
The cannonball didn't hit Liu Wanyi's position, but the loud sound still made Liu Wanyi's ears ringing, and his heart was jumping with fear!
After a while, Liu Wanyi shook his head and returned to normal.
At this time, several officers ran over to support him, and then loudly persuaded: "Master, this place is not safe, let's retreat!"
Liu Wanyi still wanted to be brave: "No, our two groups of brothers haven't withdrawn yet, how can I withdraw..."
Before the word withdraw was uttered, another shell flew in and exploded in the crowd!
A shrapnel flew directly past Liu Wanyi's cheek, leaving a shocking wound.
Liu Wanyi didn't try to be brave anymore, and directly covered his face, ran back in horror, and subconsciously shouted: "Get out, get out!"
If Liu Wanyi didn't panic and didn't just run away by himself, maybe he could organize the evacuation of the riverside team in an orderly manner.
When the two groups of troops crossed the river, he still had more than 2400 people on hand. If he could organize this group of troops well, I am afraid that the surprise attack force of more than 600 people sent by Lin Hongfei would not be able to win with full confidence.
After all, those group leaders who were bought off were a bunch of scumbags. Don't look at Lin Hongfei giving real money, but they are actually helping whoever wins.
However, Liu Wanyi missed this opportunity. His panic and sudden withdrawal immediately caused chaos in the third batch of troops by the river.
Everyone only saw that the teacher ran away, and his face was covered with blood. Could it be that he was seriously injured?
In addition, the two shells fired by the Jiangdu were really terrifying, so the morale of the 2400-strong team was in turmoil, and everyone turned their heads and fled.
At this moment, a burst of gunshots rang out, and the surprise attack troops sent by Lin Hongfei suddenly appeared on the way of the 34th Division's retreat like magic soldiers!
