Chapter 138: Asymmetric Warfare

Huang Kaiguang only felt a chill all over his body, which was beyond human cognition, he barely held on to the boat gang, and called in a trembling voice: "Who can tell the official, what is going on?" ”

No one could answer him, the sinking of these two ships was too weird, although the sun was shining, but including Chen Laosan, there was a chill pouring out of his heart.

"Bang~~" Just as the ship fell into a deathly silence, a muffled sound not far away broke the silence, and Huang Kaiguang shuddered violently, won't it sink again? Looking up, fortunately, the ship did not sink, but its own side was firing.

Lu Lu Jiji's cannon sound made his heart settle down a little, and at the same time, it also played a certain role in suppressing the bandit's cold gun, Huang Kaiguang forcibly stood up straight, but his eyes were stagnant, facing the bow of the boat, there was a wooden box slowly floating along the current, this wooden box was earthy yellow color, the length and width were one foot, and a few strange tentacles stretched out around it, if you didn't look carefully, it was easy to be regarded as a dark-colored lump of river silt.

Huang Kaiguang hurriedly asked, "What is in the water?" ”

Everyone looked down and found the wooden box one after another, Chen Laosan beckoned: "Come on, fish up this box!" ”

"Yes!" Two crew members took the bamboo pole, stretched it into the water to play with it, and the moment the bamboo pole touched the wooden box, the change was steep!

"Boom!" Without any warning, a ball of fire bloomed on the surface of the river, stirring up a two-zhang high column of water, and the iron sheet and broken wood scattered with the splash, and the two crew members were beaten into a sieve on the spot, and then they were lifted upside down by the strong air wave and flew out, and they were already dead and could not be penetrated anymore!

Suddenly, everyone's heart and liver were beating violently, if they hadn't been found early, they would have stabbed it with a wooden pole, and the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Huang Kaiguang wiped his sweat and shouted in fear: "This official understands, the culprit is this wooden box, pay attention to all the ships, avoid the wooden box, or shoot with a gun!" ”

Sure enough, there were scattered wooden boxes floating in the river, and you could even see individual bandits releasing wooden boxes into the river!

Dao Dao Banner was accompanied by shouting urgently, although it was understood that hitting the wooden box would destroy the ship and kill people, it was not so easy to avoid.

Generally speaking, the rudder is installed in the stern, the helmsman is also behind, he can't see the situation in front, can only rely on the lookout to remind, the Chinese ships at that time used the tiller instead of the steering wheel, there is no concept of scale, and the Qing army naval division does not have systematic naval terminology, such as how much is the left rudder, the right full rudder, etc., the consequence of this is that there is anything called, so that the helmsman is at a loss.

"To the right, to the right!"

"It's over, it's over, turn back, hurry back!"

"Again, right, right!"

The river is noisy, the helmsman is sweating profusely, constantly turning the tiller, the boat is also left and right in the river, as if drunk, the bow of the boat is standing some soldiers, concentrating on the gun, but this obviously became the target of the Minnie gunner, with the sound of gunfire, from time to time someone planted into the river, but there are also mines that have been hit, set off the water column, the river is completely disorganized, has been out of the traditional water warfare category, soon, there are two more fast crab boats unfortunately hit the mine, boom boom twice, was blown into the bottom of the river!

Since the beginning of the war, four Red Dan ships have sunk, on the one hand, the mines are impossible to prevent, you must know that even with the advanced equipment of the navy in the 21 st century, the cost of laying mines is still an astonishing 1 to 30 compared with the cost of demining, and it may not be possible to clear them!

Although the mine has no power and can only drift with the tide when it is released, the river will not flow indiscriminately, especially the water surface of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is calm and can float in one direction for a long time.

On the other hand, the sniping of the Minnie gun made it impossible for the Qing army to shoot mines as they wanted, and they had to stand still and aim at the flintlock pistol, which obviously became a live target, and in order to avoid being hit, they could only shoot roughly.

More importantly, although the red single boat is known for its flexibility and maneuverability, its performance is far superior to that of the fishing boat, but the storage of mines limits the flexibility of the red single boat, and it does not dare to sprint with all its strength and give full play to the advantage of fast speed, which makes it impossible for it to pierce and insert between the fishing boats to attack on the sideboard, nor dare to turn the rudder in the water to play drifting, and shoot at the row of guns after hitting the horizontal.

At the same time, Ding Daquan and Chen Alin tensed their spirits, and whenever the red single boat ventured closer, they immediately commanded the whole army to retreat and accelerate the release of mines, forcing the red single boat to give up.

The only artillery that the Qing army could use was dozens of Hongyi cannons or Francophone cannons on the bow of the ship, and using this kind of artillery to hit a fishing boat hundreds of meters away, the rate of fire was slow, a single shot, and coupled with turbulence, it was completely resigned to fate, and several factors combined to cause a brilliant result of 1 to 4 battle losses and 1 to 10 casualties.

Around Wang Feng, everyone is excited, every time a Qing warship sinks, it can cause a large number of applause, and the mines are paired with Minnie guns, which is simply invincible!

Zhou Xiuying seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but say: "You are equipped with a large number of grenades, mines and mines, these things are indeed very powerful and convenient to use, but is there a way to restrain them?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Feng looked at him vigilantly and asked, "Big sister, what are you asking for?" Are you sent by the Qing Demon to spy on intelligence? ”

"You" Zhou Xiuying's face suddenly turned red with anger, and she shouted aggrievedly: "Why are you like this?" Who is the Qing Demon Spy? I'm curious, can't I ask? ”

Hong Xuanjiao also blamed: "Sister Xiuying is the only daughter of Zhou Lichun's seniors, you suspect that no one can doubt her, it's really annoying!" ”

Wang Feng changed his face, took Zhou Xiuying's slender hand without hurrying, held it in his palm, and said with a smile: "Big sister, don't be angry, I don't have a good mouth, it's not worth it for you and me to be angry."

The advantage of mines, mines and grenades is that they are cheap to build, simple and easy to do, although there are many restrictions in use, but at present they are an indispensable weapon for our army. We make it in large quantities, and the ants bite the elephant to death, which is an effective means of asymmetric warfare. ”

"Oh~~" Zhou Xiuying nodded just now, but she was tense in an instant, she suddenly realized that her hand was still being held by Wang Feng, and immediately blushed and shook it off, and said angrily: "Don't move with this girl, go aside!" ”

Hong Xuanjiao also shook her head secretly, Wang Feng tune~~ The woman in the play is extremely hidden, at the beginning it was to pull hands, hug the waist and the like, although it is considered light, but it is not too much, it is difficult for people to be really angry with him.

Then, you have to face his constant harassment of holding hands around the waist, and over time, under the ineffectiveness of many expressions of dissatisfaction, it will gradually become natural, or in other words, there is no strength to care, and in the future, this person's lightness will go further!
