On the sea, the two fleets of the enemy and us exchanged fire frantically.

The other side obviously realized that they had more battleships and more firepower, and this was almost a direct advantage on the surface, how could they give up?

There is no rush to take further action and let the surrounding destroyers do a good job of guarding and guarding, the enemy fleet is completely trying to maintain the status quo, and then rely on the number and firepower of its own battleships to destroy their position.

The Yangtze River Fleet maintained its speed and constantly avoided the shelling of the enemy fleet.

At this moment, with a loud roar, there was a sudden obvious shaking of the hull of the Yangtze River under the seat.

Yuan Xi, who was on the boat at the time, asked directly......

"What's going on?"

"Report to the colonel, it should be the salvo of the enemy fleet just now, and a shell hit the stern armor of our battleship."

Yuan Xi, who heard this, was not alarmed, the armor thickness of the battleship was sufficient, and the shells smashed on the armor plate, which would not have much impact on them.

In the middle of his thoughts, he only listened to Yuan Xi's instructions quickly......

"There is no need to rush to launch a counterattack, and the highest priority is to avoid enemy shelling."

"Yes!"

Having received instructions, the Yangtze River Fleet, which began to focus on evading attacks, noticeably began to decline in the frequency of attacks.

This move fell into the eyes of the commander of the enemy fleet, who naturally thought that the other party was suppressed by their naval artillery firepower, and his face inevitably showed a little joy, and he hurriedly signaled the fleet under his command to continue firing artillery and pursue the victory.

Just as Yuan Xi wanted to make a contribution through this great war, as the naval commander of the enemy fleet, Lar Shirak also had the same idea, after all, their fleet had been idle for many years.

On weekdays, except for daily training and occasional fighting against the natives at sea, there is not even a chance to make meritorious contributions, and most of the year is spent eating idle meals, and sometimes if you want to take the initiative to apply for an additional exercise, the above will be rejected in the name of 'insufficient financial funds'.

It was in this situation, as the commander of this fleet, that he didn't know how many people from the army were poked in the backbone every day, especially when he applied for naval funds every year, he couldn't even raise his head.

Fierce artillery fire continued to sweep across the ocean, but at this time, Ralhirac obviously did not notice, or could not have noticed at all, that a crisis lurking beneath the surface of the sea was rapidly approaching them......

The battleships that maintained their speed sailed quickly on the sea, and the naval guns on board constantly adjusted the angle of attack, always pointing at the Yangtze River Fleet trying to avoid the shelling.

All this was an almost logical action under the pursuit of victory, without any problems, until the hull of the ship under sail unconsciously collided with something in the sea......

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble!!! ”

The roar of three explosions in a row, and the huge splash directly drenched a group of soldiers who were standing on the deck of the battleship at that time, and made the hull of the ship shake significantly.

"Fack! What the hell is going on here?! ”

Ralhirak, who was on that battleship at the time, roared directly.

As far as he knew, the opposite fleet had not fired at all just now, so why was their battleship suddenly shelled?

The situation was completely confusing, and Larshirac's mood became quite bad in an instant.

However, this was not the end, and soon, one after another, the continuous explosion impact made the shaking of the ship's hull even more violent, and at the same time, the Yangtze River, which had been aiming at the enemy fleet's heavy firepower main guns at the same time, opened fire at the same time.

It's too late, it's too soon!

The detached cannonballs rubbed violently against the air, and with a hellish scream, they slammed directly into the hull of the enemy battleship.

Unlike the previous shelling, which was just scraping the stern armor of the Yangtze River, this round of shelling of the Yangtze River was simply accurate! The shells that flew out hit tightly.

In the roaring sound, a cannonball that fell on the deck at that time directly destroyed everything around, and at the same time took the lives of a group of enemy naval soldiers, and most of the remaining shells were smashed on the hull, while destroying the outer armor plate, the strong fire impact also made the battleship that was continuously shelled like a mayfly on the sea, as if it would sink under this artillery fire at any time.

The opening of the Yangtze River was like some kind of signal, and the eight battleships of the Yangtze River Fleet directly launched a strong counterattack at this moment.

At the same time, the destroyers in charge of the assault also quickly dispersed left and right, relying on their speed, to make a detour towards the enemy fleet.

This round of counterattacks undoubtedly took the Europa fleet under Charles Clumbell by surprise.

However, after all, they are also regular troops with rigorous training, so they will not be planted like this.

At the roar of Ralshirak, an entire fleet quickly evaded as it counterattacked.

But it was in this evasion process that completely unexpected states occurred one after another.

There were constant violent explosions beneath the surface of the sea, impacting every warship that passed through the sea, disrupting their rhythm and affecting them completely.

At this moment, the battleships are still too busy to take care of themselves, and the situation of the peripheral destroyers will only get worse.

In the continuous explosion, a shell hit the torpedo launcher of a Europa destroyer, and the fun was great, and with a shocking bang, the Europa destroyer was almost sunk on the spot!

"What's going on? What the hell is going on?! ”

At this moment, Ralshirac had absolutely no idea what was happening.

Obviously, they were still in a good situation before, why did they suddenly become like this?

"General, general! It's a mine! A large number of mines have been laid in this sea area!! ”

Hearing this, Lar Shirak suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and his whole person was almost crazy.

"Mines? Why are there mines in this place? And how can there be mines?! ”

In the previous pursuit, they kept an eye on the movements of the enemy fleet throughout the whole process, and if the opponent's destroyer dropped mines, they would not be able to detect it!

In fact, of course, they could not find out, because the destroyers of the Yangtze River Fleet had not laid mines at all.

And where did these mines, which seemed to appear out of thin air and caught the Europa fleet off guard?

The answer comes from a special unit in the Yangtze River fleet, the Lizard Warriors!

Of course, it is more accurate to say that today they should be called 'underwater combat units!' ’
