Volume VIII 1333 The Demon Beneath the Sea

Next chapter

From the perspective of grand strategy, it is always a clash of national strength, with a strong country defeating a weak country, a large number of armies defeating a few troops, and the tactics are not enough to make up the numbers, just like the United States during World War II; in fact, the victory of the United States is the victory of national strength, and even the oil has been exhausted on the German, Italian and Japanese sides, and the aircraft carriers here are crackling like dumplings and opening into the water.

As long as the powerful countries are willing to sacrifice manpower and material resources and believe that this battle must be won, they will definitely be able to win it.

This is to look at the war from the strategic level, but if you look at the local battles alone, it is much more interesting, why are the classic battles of the weak overcoming the strong endlessly, because the environment, morale, technology, the unbridled imagination of the commanders, coupled with the human beings themselves, these will create all kinds of unexpected changes to the war.

The Russian navy will never forget today, if they could have known that Xiao Lotian had so many tricks in his hands, they would definitely swear to God that they would never fight against the Chinese army in their lives.

The home battle is an advantage, Xiang Ying and the nautical charts in their hands are a hundred times more detailed than those in Stefansky's hands, and on the huge map, there are not only the locations of islands and reefs, but also the depth of the sea and the number of ocean currents and undercurrents.

And this qiē is a magic weapon that can be used to defeat the enemy! With the rhythmic blowing of the whistle of the Zhiyuan, the standard-bearer issued an action order to the rear. It didn't even take ten minutes to arrive, and in a place beyond the sight of the Russian army behind the cliff of the cape, three large ships with full sails sailed in the wind and waves.

The three large CIA ships were apparently already familiar with every inch of the sea, and they quickly moved to the position above the dark flow into the strait, and countless sailors began to throw huge and heavy unidentified objects into the sea.

"What is that? God, is that ......" An ominous thought welled up in Stefansky's mind, why the things Chinese had left so familiar.

How can you not be familiar with the fact that the first self-triggering mine in the history of mankind was invented by the Russians, and in the Crimean War of 1853-1856, this trigger mine was widely used by the Russian army, and the Turkish navy suffered enough from this weapon.

As a Russian admiral, how could he not be familiar with this terrible weapon! In that war, mines were a sharp weapon to restrain the attack of the British, French, and Turkish fleets, and if there were no mines, Russia would have lost the war even more heavily.

Mines are a weapon that is inexpensive and simple in structure, and the circular mine body can be suspended about half a meter below sea level after careful shooting, and there are 14 long contact rods evenly distributed on the round mine body, and these rods are the trigger devices of the mines.

As soon as any ship hits any of the tentacles, the explosives inside will detonate, and the explosives inside the mines will be detonated at random, very close to the firing pin of the bullet.

Mines are easy to use, but there are also many taboos on the battlefield, because once a mine is thrown into the sea, it will be indistinguishable from friend and foe, and no matter whose ship it hits, it will be death.

Moreover, the mine itself does not have any power, and it will be affected by the current and float at will on the sea, and it is not that you can blow it up wherever you want him to blow it up, so in actual combat, the mine is more of a defensive weapon or a blockade weapon.

Stefansky couldn't imagine that Xiao Letian actually used mines as an offensive weapon, he patted his head in despair, and finally even smashed his forehead with his fist.

"I'm an idiot! Why am I so stupid! This is Xiao Letian's home field, of course he knows all the secrets of this sea, the current map is in his hands, how can I fight this battle? How else can I fight!"

"Let the ships be careful of mines, and the sailors use their rifles to eliminate the danger...... Now we have to leave our fate in God's hands, Amen!"

The strait, which was about five kilometers wide, was in complete chaos at the moment, the fleet had no position to speak of, all the warships chose their own directions and fled, and there were countless more gun-wielding soldiers on the deck, and they stared at each other like brass bells, trying to find the demons hiding in the sea.

"There's a foreign object underwater! Look at the dark shadow underwater...... Shoot!" Bang Bang ...... The sailors on the battleship fired down like crazy.

"Wait! Something seems wrong! Damn, it's a turtle...... Keep searching!"

The battlefield is originally a place of tension, the Zhiyuan in the distance is constantly driving, the Gaobo Mountain Fort is also condescendingly bombing, the mouth of the strait is full of smoke and fire, and all the wreckage and corpses floating on the sea surface are full.

In this harsh environment, it was a dream for the soldiers to find the elves hidden in the water, and countless devastated sailors hysterically shot blindly at the sea, shouting "Where are the mines! Where ......are the mines?"

Boom! He was answered with an earth-shattering bang, and a mine was hit on the left side of the frigate's bow, and the high-explosive charge was ignited, and an exploding hole appeared in the sea in an instant.

Mines were ten times more powerful than artillery shells, and a single mine blew the bow of the frigate to pieces, and tons of seawater began to pour into the cabins.

The desperate soldiers collapsed, the sides of the sunken battleship crackled like dumplings, and the sea was full of soldiers swimming to the shore.

"Okay! Well exploded!" Xiao Letian slammed his fist on the command platform and shouted excitedly, "I will prepare 300 mines for you, I don't believe that I can't block this small strait! Stay here, none of you will want to leave......

"Xiang Ying! The formation of the frigate in front has collapsed, and the St. Peter is in front of you! Sink him! Sink him for me! Completely tear the morale of these rakshasa ghosts and make them desperate to death!"

At this moment, the young Emperor Tongzhi clenched his fists and swung all over his body like a sheep's horn wind, "Okay, good...... This is the sea battle, this is the real war! Long live the navy!"

"When I become in power, I will devote all my strength to building the navy of the Qing Dynasty, and I will build the most powerful navy in the world! No one will dare to bully us again! I will no longer be the emperor of the nest!"

Xiang Ying squinted at the little emperor who jumped and screamed, and the corners of his mouth cracked and smiled contemptuously...... A bunch of people who know how to ride a horse with a big ass, and they still want to get on the boat......?

Xiang Ying doesn't like Zaichun, since his hometown Xiangjiazhuang was burned, he has hated this decaying and declining court, not to mention that this lustful little bastard actually dares to eat Cai Bixuan's tofu, that's my woman!

I remember this hatred, I can't clean you up in front of the prime minister, but the prime minister won't protect you for a lifetime, absolutely not!

"Yes! Prime Minister...... As you wish, I'll sink the St. Peter!"
