C1334 The Devil Under the Sea

War! In terms of big strategy, it was always a battle of national power. Powerful countries won over weak countries, and many armies won over few armies. There were not enough tactics, just like the United States during the Second World War. In fact, the United States' victory was a victory for the country.

There were no tricks or tricks in this kind of war. As long as the powerful countries were willing to sacrifice their manpower and resources and believed that they must win this war, they would definitely win.

This is a strategic view of war, but it is much more interesting to look at partial battles alone. The classic battles of the weak against the strong are endless, because of the environment, morale, technology, the imagination of commanders, and the desire of the human race itself.

The Russia Navy would never forget today. If they knew that Xiao Letian had so many tricks up his sleeve, they would have sworn to God that they would never fight against the Chinese Army again in their lifetime.

Xiang Ying and the others had a map that was a hundred times more detailed than the one in EdStefanski's hands. On the gigantic map, not only were there islands and reefs, there were even data on the water's depth, as well as ocean currents and undercurrents.

All of these magic treasures could be used to defeat the enemy! Following the rhythmic sound of the Zhiyuan Warship's whistle, the standard-bearer sent out an order for action towards the rear. Not even ten minutes had passed, and after the cliff at the corner of the ocean, in front of Russian Army's line of sight, three large ships full of sails were rapidly sailing over.

The three ships that belonged to the CIA were obviously already familiar with every inch of the sea. They quickly moved towards the upper part of the Dark Flow Channel and countless sailors began to throw large and heavy objects into the sea.

"What is that?" God! "Could it be …" An ominous thought emerged in EdStefanski's mind. Why did the things thrown down by the Chinese sound so familiar?

How could they not be familiar with it? The first automatic trigger mine in human history was invented by the Russian, and from the Crimean War of 1853 to 1856, this trigger mine was used a lot by the Russian Army.

As an admiral of the Russia, how could he not be familiar with this kind of terrifying weapon! In that war back then, the water mines were the weapon that restricted the English and French's earth fleet from attacking. If there was no water mines, the Russia's losses in that war would have been even more miserable.

This type of water mine is cheap to make, its structure is simple. After carefully shooting, the round shaped body of water mine can just float below sea level for about half a meter. On the round body of water mine, there are 14 long rods, and these rods are the triggers of water mine.

The moment any ship hit any one of the rods, the explosives inside would detonate and randomly detonate the explosives inside the mine. The principle of the explosion was very similar to that of the firing pin.

Water mines were easy to use, but there were many taboos to be used on the battlefield. This was because once water mines were thrown into the sea, it would be as good as dead, regardless of which family's ship crashed into it.

Also, the mine itself did not have any motivation. It would be randomly floating in the sea due to the influence of the current. It was not something you could bomb wherever you wanted, so the mine in actual combat was a defensive or sealing weapon.

Even at death's door, EdStefanski would never have thought that Xiao Letian would actually use water mines as offensive weapons. He desperately slapped his head, and even smashed his own forehead with his fist.

"I'm an idiot! Why am I so stupid! This is Xiao Letian's home ground, he obviously knows all the secrets of this ocean, the chart of the ocean is in his hands, how do I fight this battle? How else can I fight! "

"Scatter!" Let the ships be careful of the mines, and the sailors clear the danger with their rifles... Now we can only put fate in the hands of God, Amen! "

The fleet was no longer in a battle formation. All the battleships chose their own directions and fled, and on the deck, besides the gunners shooting, there were also countless soldiers with guns. They all stared with eyes as wide as copper bells, trying to discover the demons hiding in the sea.

"There is a foreign object underwater!" Look under the water, there's a shadow... Shoot! " Pah pah pah … The sailors on the battleship fired downward like madmen.

"Wait! Something was wrong! Damn it, it's a sea turtle... "Continue searching!"

The battlefield was a place that made people nervous to begin with. In the distance, the Zhiyuan Warship s were moving nonstop, while the Kaolong Mountain Battery s were bombing from a high vantage point. Smoke and fire were everywhere at the mouth of the channel, and the sea was filled with corpses and wreckage.

In such a harsh environment, it was simply a dream for the soldiers to find the little elf hiding in the water. Countless emotional crashes of the sailors started firing blindly at the sea while shouting "Where's the thunder!?" "Where is the lightning and water …"

BOOM! What answered him was an earth-shattering explosion, a water bomb in the middle of the left side of the frigate ship, the high explosive medicine was immediately ignited, and an explosion hole instantly appeared in the sea.

The power of the water mines were ten times stronger than cannonballs. With just one water mine, the entire forward part of the frigate was blasted into smithereens, and tons of water began to fill the cabin.

The despairing soldiers collapsed. The sinking battleship jumped down from both sides like dumplings falling into a puddle. The sea was filled with soldiers swimming towards the shore.

"Good!" "Well done!" Xiao Letian punched the podium as he shouted excitedly, "I'll prepare three hundred water bombs for you guys, I don't believe that I won't be able to block this small channel! "Stay here, none of you should even think about leaving …"

"Xiang Ying! The frigate formation in front of him had collapsed and the St. Peter was right in front of him! Immerse him! Blow him down! to completely tear apart the Russian's morale and make them die of despair! "

The young Tongzhi Emperor was shaking his body and holding his fists tight like he was pulling at a sheep's horn. Well done! This was a sea battle, this was a real war! Long live the Navy! "

"When I am in charge of my own affairs, I will throw out my entire country to build the Great Qing Sea's navy, I will build the world's strongest navy! When that happens, no one will dare to bully us anymore! I don't want to be a useless emperor anymore! "

Xiang Ying glanced at the little emperor who was jumping and screaming, and the corners of his mouth curled into a disdainful sneer. A bunch of Manchu who only knew how to ride horses, want to board the ship? "Dream on …"

Xiang Ying didn't like Zai Chun. Ever since his hometown's Xiang Jia Village was burnt, he had already hated this decaying imperial court to death, not to mention that this lustful little bastard actually dared to eat Cai Bixia's tofu.

Just you wait! I'll remember this grudge. I can't take care of you in front of the prime minister, but the prime minister won't protect you for your entire life. He definitely won't!

"Yes!" Prime Minister … As you wish, I will sink the St. Peter for you! "
