After the founding of New China, the Chinese Navy fought with the Kuomintang Navy in Taiwan and other naval battles. In these naval battles, the small-caliber rapid-fire cannons equipped by the navy played a crucial role in combat using armor-piercing bombs. The Yongchang, the first large ship of the National Army, sunk by the New China Navy, used Gaoping dual-purpose guns to launch armor-piercing bombs to hit the ammunition depot of the enemy ships and sank it.

It was inspired by this that Gao Jiu thought of using anti-aircraft guns to deal with Japanese ships.

The Japanese gunboat sailed on the river with great might and suddenly encountered an attack. The Japanese captain was startled when he heard the sound of cannons and subconsciously avoided him. He felt the vibration of the boat and knew that the gunboat was shot, but he didn't know where the enemy's shells were hit.

While ordering the organization to fight back, he ordered the gunboat damage to the same order.

At this moment, a shout came from the cabin: "Captain, water has come into the engine compartment."

Then someone shouted: "Captain, water has come into the storage compartment."

It turned out that Gao Jiu used anti-aircraft guns to aim at the waterline of the gunboat and beat them hard. The shells accurately hit the waterline of the gunboat, making many holes on the gunboat, and the river water immediately poured in.

Only Gao Jiu could do this. At this time, the enemy's gunboat was about two thousand meters away from the anti-aircraft gun, and it was still up and down with the waves, and others could not see clearly. Gao Jiu was able to accurately shoot the shells into the waterline.

The Japanese on the gunboat were attacked and hurriedly prepared to fight back. Unfortunately, they looked for the targets of the attackers and adjusted the shooting elements. Before they could start fighting back, the gunboat had already tilted because the water inlet had already tilted, so they could not aim.

Gao Jiu was not polite and continued to shoot continuously at the waterline, constantly making holes in the ship.

The Japanese inside the gunboat wanted to block the holes that were inlet, but there were too many holes and they couldn't block them at all. The river water quickly poured in, and the gunboat also tilted rapidly and began to sink.

The Japanese on the gunboat had to dive into the water and escape, but many people still had no time to escape. As the gunboat was buried at the bottom of the river, they fed fish and shrimps in the Yangtze River.

In this way, Gao Jiu sank the Japanese gunboat.

In order to prevent the enemy from retaliating, Gao Jiu and others drove into the car, pulled the cannon, and changed to another place to ambush. In this way, two enemy ships were sunk in succession.

The next day, Gao Jiu and others pulled the cannon and came to the riverside again, preparing to continue ambushing the Japanese ships.

The Japanese army was not stupid either. After receiving the notice, they analyzed the situation of the attacker and knew that the attacker had only one cannon. So they did not send a ship to patrol the river, and there were three or four or more ships as soon as they came out.

As soon as the attacker emerges, other ships can use artillery fire to destroy them.

Gao Jiu waited for a whole morning and finally found that Japanese ships came downstream. But he found that five ships came at once. Gao Jiu really dared not fight. He could not kill so many enemy warships at the same time. As soon as he opened fire and counterattacked, he had no place to run. He could only watch the enemy ships continue to sail on the river with great might.

Gao Jiu had to temporarily give up the attack on the enemy ships. He was depressed. Ning Wen said: "Master Jiu, I think this method of fighting warships is very good. If it doesn't work, let's get more anti-aircraft guns. Although we are not as accurate as you, we are almost inseparable. At that time, can't you just command the attack?"

Hearing this, Gao Jiu's eyes lit up and said, "I think this method works. Let's go back and practice first."

After arriving at the 26th Corps, Gao Jiu sent a telegram to the 9th War Zone Command headquarters, asking them to transport another batch of anti-aircraft guns.

The anti-aircraft guns in the Ninth War Zone were very nervous and there was no inventory. However, since Japanese planes were no longer coming to bomb Yichang City, they transferred all the anti-aircraft guns on the air defense positions that were originally defending Yichang and were on the air defense positions to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu dispatched a group of special forces to conduct exercises. According to the distance between the two ships usually separated by Japanese warships on the Yangtze River, they set up targets at a distance, set up three anti-aircraft gun positions 200 meters apart, and then installed telephones in each position. Gao Jiu stood in the middle of these three anti-aircraft gun positions, responsible for measuring distances, providing shooting elements, and commanding with telephones.

After repeated tests, the results were very good and the players were able to hit the target.

Early that morning, Gao Jiu and others were carrying 12 anti-aircraft cannons and ambushed by the river again.

At 10 a.m., the two gunboats drove over about 220 meters apart.

When Gao Jiu and other two gunboats drove to the middle of the three anti-aircraft gun positions, they commanded six anti-aircraft guns to attack a Japanese gunboat. In an instant, dense armor-piercing missiles flew towards the enemy's gunboat.

Although the special forces members were not as accurate as Gao Jiu's fight, they were defeated by the large number of anti-aircraft guns. In less than two minutes, the two enemy ships were sunk again.

After the enemy ships suffered such a blow, they became anxious and had more than five ships when they were deployed.

Gao Jiu also competed with them. He sent a telegram to Lin Yanni, asking Lin Wenhan to transfer 20 anti-aircraft cannons directly to continue ambushing the Japanese ships on the Yangtze River.

In this way, in less than half a month, the Japanese army lost more than 20 ships.

At this point, the Japanese army could not bear it. They could organize ships to operate on a larger scale, but that was completely unrealistic. With such a long Yangtze River defense line, in a certain area, they did not have so many ships. Even if there were, they would not concentrate so many ships every time they were dispatched. The ships had to burn oil when they started, and with the consumption of so many personnel, they could not afford them economically.

They had to give up their normal patrol along the Yangtze River, alleviating the pressure on the national military positions, and at the same time lifting the Japanese army's blockade on the Yangtze River, facilitating the exchanges of intelligence personnel and the transportation of materials.

When the Ninth War Zone saw that Gao Jiu not only solved the threat from the Japanese Air Force, but also lifted the threat from the Japanese Navy. They were all very happy and wanted to commend Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu certainly didn't care about their commendation, so he asked them to allocate another batch of weapons and equipment to the 26th Corps.

Seeing that Gao Jiu had nothing to do, he offered his farewell again. The Ninth War Zone was embarrassed to keep Gao Jiu again, so he agreed to leave.

At noon that day, Commander Yang and the senior generals of the 26th Corps held a banquet to serve Gao Jiu.

Everyone was chatting hotly, and Commander Yang's adjutant was called out. After a while, he returned to the table and said, "Commander Yang, the Japanese army launched a fierce attack on the positions of our 10th Army. The Japanese Navy mobilized more than 40 ships to support the Yangtze River with firepower."

Speaking of this, he looked at Gao Jiu.

The atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became tense, and everyone looked at Gao Jiu. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning was very obvious: the threat from the Japanese Navy was still not lifted.

At this moment, Gao Jiu felt embarrassed to say goodbye. He said, "You go and repel the enemy's attack first. I will solve the problem of the Japanese ships."

Gao Jiu was a little embarrassed and annoyed. Since the Japanese Navy was so disrespectful, he didn't mind teaching them a lesson.

In fact, Gao Jiu had already made preparations in advance. He drew a drawing for someone to process it. Later, he saw that it was very convenient to use anti-aircraft guns to attack Japanese ships, so he did not continue this matter.

When he returned to his residence, he asked someone to bring the processed things over.

On the table are special bombs, and the core of the bomb is a time bomb. One side of the bomb is a magnet and the other side is strong explosives, tied together with iron wire. Gao Jiu is preparing to use them to sank the enemy's navy's ships.

That night, Gao Jiu flew to Wuhu on a transport plane. He first threw a large wooden box from the plane, and then he jumped down.

After Gao Jiu landed, he went to find a large wooden box containing a time bomb. In order to quickly find the large wooden box at night, Gao Jiu also specially made a simple device on it, namely several batteries, and a resistor device is connected in the middle, which is similar to electric heating, which can emit a certain amount of heat.

At night, this is a good infrared display, and Gao Jiu easily found the target.

Gao Jiu opened the wooden box and took out all the bombs inside. He must have prepared the time for detonation and put them in two large sacks.

He took out a lifebuoy from the box, put it around his neck, and then carried a large sack in one hand and walked towards the military port in Wuhu.

Gao Jiu climbed onto a small hill by the river, observed carefully for a while, and then went down the mountain to the riverside. He tied two sacks to the lifebuoy, then tied them to his waist with a rope, and swam towards the Japanese ships in the port.

It was already late autumn, and the river water was very cold and uncomfortable. Swimming in the river water and dragging heavy objects was extremely physically exhausting, and ordinary people would have been unable to hold on.

However, for Gao Jiu, this was no problem at all. This guy was as strong as a shark, swimming quickly in the cold river water.

Gao Jiu spent more than an hour in the river and installed time bombs on all the 22 ships that could be seen.

After the last ship was installed, four time bombs were still available. He was reluctant to waste it, so he swam to a dry dock for maintenance in the port and installed all the time bombs inside. Then he swam to the river with satisfaction.

After Gao Jiu got on the shore, he put on his clothes, put on his backpack, and ran upstream along the Yangtze River. He ran about two kilometers, then jumped into the river and swam toward the other side of the Yangtze River.

The river here is thousands of meters wide and nine meters tall, and it has swam across the river in less than ten minutes. After getting ashore, he went up a dirt slope, picked up some dry branches on the slope, and ignited a fire.

Not long after, Wang Zhankui and others who were in charge of receiving the response rushed over.

They waited for about an hour, and at 4:30 a.m., a rumbling explosion came from the direction of the military port, and a vague flash of light could be seen.

The Japanese naval officers and soldiers, who were alarmed by the explosion, all came to the dock. They saw that all the ships that were originally anchored in the port disappeared, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

The entire 22 ships were sunk by Gao Jiu's explosion, and the dry dock was also blown up. Not only that, these ships also blocked the port, and the entire port was unavailable for a short period of time.

After this attack, the Japanese Navy also knew that this must be the elusive Gao Jiu. They no longer wanted to support the army's operations. They ignored the army's protests and drove all the ships downstream without saying a word.

The surface of the Yangtze River in Yichang area has become completely quiet since then.

This time, Gao Jiu did not attend the Fengyan. He took Wang Zhankui and others back to Chongqing, asking Ouyang Xue to arrange several transport planes and prepare to fly directly to Kunming.

Just as the plane was about to take off, the airport tower sent a signal to suspend takeoff. Then, an air force officer ran over and shouted to ask Gao Jiu to get off the plane.

Gao Jiu didn't understand what was wrong, so he got off the plane.

The officer said panting: "Master Jiu, Chief Lin Yanni, please answer the phone."

Gao Jiu followed the air force officer to the tower. He picked up the phone and said, "Girl, why did you call here? It's so urgent. What happened?"

Lin Yanni said: "Brother Jiu, my father received a telegram from the Soviet Ministry of Military Industry, saying that the Soviet Union would provide a batch of aid to China. Among the batches, there were 20,000 submachine guns, 2 million bullets, and a bullet production line. My father hopes that you can help pick up these batches of weapons, ammunition and supplies."

Gao Jiu said with some confusion: "Isn't it enough for the Military Order to send someone to transport the supplies back? What should I do?"

Lin Yanni said: "The Soviet Ministry of Military Industry sent the materials to the border, and this batch of materials must be passed through Xinjiang. The warlords there wanted to detain a batch of materials, including yours."

"His grandma, Sheng Shi is looking for death!" Gao Jiu said angrily.

Gao Jiu was really annoyed. On the one hand, his weapons, ammunition and supplies were seized. On the other hand, he really wanted to go to Ruili, Yunnan. Because the matter in Yichang had been delayed for a long time, someone came to make things difficult for him now.

Gao Jiu hesitated a little. He had already contacted Long Yingyuan and contacted the Director-General of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Kokang Region of Myanmar and was preparing to meet in Ruili. If he had a trip to Xinjiang, it would definitely be too late to go in time.

Lin Yanni waited for a long time, but did not see Gao Jiu talking, and said, "Brother Jiu, no matter what, you have to go and meet my father."

Gao Jiu had no choice but to temporarily cancel the trip and drove back to Chongqing.

At the city gate, Gao Jiu saw Lin Yanni. He stopped the car and asked Lin Yanni to get in.

Seeing Gao Jiu a little unhappy, Lin Yanni reached out and held his big hand and pressed it on her fair cheek. She comforted him and said, "Brother Jiu, don't be angry. You won't leave for the time being. I can just accompany you. Are you unhappy to see me?"

Looking at Lin Yanni's pretty face and expectant expression, Gao Jiu's mood suddenly improved a lot. He smiled and said, "You are right. With you accompanying me, you will be gone."

"Princess." Lin Yanni smiled sweetly.

She said with some anticipation: "Brother Jiu, I have not been to Xinjiang yet. I heard that the scenery there is very beautiful, with snow-capped mountains and oasis, and the desert poplar euphratica, which is fascinating. If you go, I want to go and have a look."

Accompanied by Lin Yanni, Gao Jiu came directly to the military command and met Lin Wenhan.
