Chapter 459: The Frogman's First Battle Achievement

Seeing that the expeditionary force was blocked by the Mekong River, Mai Ke immediately called Gu Jizhi and discussed countermeasures together.

Since the departure of the expeditionary force, Gu Jizhi has been committed to studying the Mekong River, and even personally explored the hydrological conditions of many river sections, so it can be said that he has a deep understanding of this long river that spans many countries.

Seeing that everyone asked, he selected some more important situations and introduced them to everyone.

Originally, the Mekong River originated in Qinghai Province in the Qing Dynasty, and after flowing through Yunnan Province in the Qing Dynasty, it entered Lao Whirlpool, Burma, Siam, and then entered Khmer.

After entering the Khmer, it joins the Tonle Sap River in Khmer, which originates from the Tonle Sap Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia.

After the confluence of the two rivers, continue to the south, the most Lu passes through the lower Khmer, and divides into nine estuaries to enter the sea, so the Mekong River in the lower Khmer is also called the Kowloon River.

Today, the expeditionary force is located on the section of the Mekong River near the Khmer capital city of Phnom Penh, and once the army crosses the Mekong River, Phnom Penh no longer has a natural barrier.

While introducing the Mekong, Gu Jizhi also mentioned two smaller rivers, the Dong Sa River and the Bassa River, which also flow into the Mekong River here.

In addition to these superficial hydrographies, Gu Jizhi also introduced some information that he knows that no one knows, the most important of which is that the Mekong section here, like other major rivers, has a secret underground river.

After listening to the briefing, Mai Ke asked everyone what suggestions they had for crossing the Mekong River as soon as possible without boats.

Nguyen Shi Minh suggested that the army should come and swim at night, while the enemy could not see it. Bypass the interception of their fleet.

Wang Shaojie was willing to lead an elite team to cross this section of water, board the enemy ship, and then penetrate the enemy's blockade.

The wormhole basically supported Wang Shaojie's suggestion, saying that he could join such a commando if needed.

The six strokes suggest entering the underground river channel introduced by Gu Jizhi just now, detouring to Phnom Penh.

Mai Ke feels that these methods can be used and will definitely have an effect, but there are also major flaws.

One is that the effect is very uncertain, and it may take a long time. It can even be protracted. This one is not allowed.

Another is that it does not solve the fundamental problem.

If they have bypassed or broken through the enemy's defensive line in time, the enemy's vital force is still there; not to mention those who have worries about the future, they will not be able to allow these hostile forces to exist at the very end.

Rather than waiting until later to settle it. It's better to find a way to do it once and for all. Even if it's a little bit of work.

After Mai Ke said this idea. It was also felt that the proposals put forward earlier did not meet the expected requirements.

Everyone was at a loss, and a guard came to tell Mai Ke that there was a man named Zoro who had asked to meet.

"Zoro? It's that Frenchman, the captain of the frogmen. Okay, call him in!"

Nguyen Shiming still remembers that this was a joint gift from Peter and Napoleon to the expeditionary force - a hundred frogmen.

The work is not big, and Zoro, who is covered in diving clothes, came, and without saying a word, it was a military salute: "The frogman team asks to fight!"

Only then did Mai Ke and the others think of the gift given by the two naval commanders, let them deal with those enemy ships, maybe it can really work?

Ruan Zhiming asked: "It seems that you only have 100 people, right?

"Absolutely a lot! I would have liked to send only fifty men. In order to ensure the success of the battle, I also played the idea of double insurance, and everyone went on!"

When he finished, he added: "All of my subordinates are one hundred." ”

Mai Ke said, "This is the best idea! I agreed! I will go with me!"

Mai Ke was confirmed, and everyone had no objections, and the decision to use frogmen for the first time was confirmed.

Mai Ke immediately ordered everyone to be ready to go, and once the frogman tactics were successful, they could cross the river immediately.

Then Mai Ke exchanged a few words with Zoro, and went with him to a place where water and grass were abundant, where there were already a hundred frogmen lurking in the water.

These men followed the army for more than ten days, and it was not easy to reach a place where there was water, and they immediately plunged into the water like a fish in water, and used the Mekong River as their camp.

The reason why Zoro went to ask for a battle was actually that he already had a bottom in his heart about this battle.

Before that, he had sent five groups of frogmen to the bottom of the river to visit the enemy ships, and the enemy knew nothing.

And these five times they went deep into the enemy camp, not only did they understand the enemy's situation, but also found out where the enemy's command ship was.

His original tactic was to divide his troops into two routes, one to the north and set fire to the ship, and the other to attack the enemy's command ship in the middle and capture the enemy's principal alive.

It was just now that he and Mai Ke introduced this plan, and Mai Ke said that his plan was very good; if it was to be further improved, it would be the division of labor between the two routes, all of which were used to attack the command ship, one to feint in the front, and the other to dive to the back, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack!

Zoro was greatly appreciative when he heard this, and praised him as a genius for this kind of sneak attack!

Mai Ke smiled after hearing this, he wouldn't tell him that these were too average for a real special forces soldier like him.

The sneaking went smoothly, and the front was the first to arrive, and Zuo Luo gave an order, and the fifty frogmen jumped out of the water together, and then turned over in the air, and suddenly got on the enemy ship.

The enemy on the ship suddenly saw something that was covered in black and could not see the facial features, jumped on the boat, jumped down in unison, and all of them froze!

The frogman who jumped on the boat took advantage of the momentum and rushed forward, and the two swarthy short swords in his hands kept swinging, and only someone in the way was a sword!

In the blink of an eye, the first ship rushed by, and this is exactly the outer ship that protects the command ship!

When he came to the command ship, he jumped in the air again, and he wanted to rush to the command ship!

The people who commanded the ship had already heard the excitement of the escort ship, and they came to watch it one after another, and as soon as they saw that the enemy had broken through the barrier in a blink of an eye, they wanted to hit the command ship, and hurriedly mobilized their men to defend.

The defenders hurried to the boat, just in time for the frogmen to try to get on board, and everyone shouted in unison, and all kinds of weapons were on, and they didn't care what the effect was.

Not to mention, this kind of tactics of punching the master to death really forced this frogman down!

After all, he is suspended in the air and cannot focus, no matter how high his martial arts are, it is impossible to compete with those who are down-to-earth and condescending and have a large number of people.

After fighting one more, everyone's confidence has also increased greatly, and more people will come to come and have a wolf pack tactic!

This tactic really worked, and after more than ten minutes of fighting, not a single frogman succeeded in boarding the command ship!

Unfortunately, it's not just the front where you can board the ship; the back defense is empty......!
