Chapter 1299 The Crisis Under the Sea

Above the sea, the two fleets of the enemy and our side exchanged fire frantically.

The opposite side also clearly realized that they have more battleships and stronger firepower. How can this advantage be given up directly?

Not in a hurry to take further action, let the surrounding destroyers do escort and vigilance work, the enemy fleet is completely trying to maintain the status quo, and then rely on the number and firepower advantage of their own battleships to blow up their posture.

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

At this moment, along with a loud roar, the hull of the Yangtze River under the seat suddenly shook abruptly.

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

"what happened?"

"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."

Hearing this, Yuan Xi was not panicked. The armor of the battleship was thick enough, and the shells hitting the armor plate would not have much impact on them.

As my thoughts flew around, I just listened to Yuan Xi's quick instructions...

"There is no need to rush to launch a counterattack, and avoiding enemy artillery fire is the highest priority."

"Yes!"

After receiving instructions, they began to focus on evading the attacking Yangtze Fleet, and the attack frequency obviously began to decline.

This move fell into the eyes of the commander-in-chief of the enemy fleet, who naturally thought that the other party was being suppressed by the firepower of their naval artillery, and his face inevitably showed a bit of joy, and he quickly signaled his fleet to continue firing and pursue the victory.

Just like Yuan Xi wanted to use this battle to make a fortune, as the naval commander of the enemy fleet, Lal Chirac also had the same idea. After all, their fleet had been idle for many years.

On weekdays, apart from daily training and the occasional fight against the natives at sea, I don’t even have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. I spend most of the year eating leisurely meals. Insufficient' name dismissed.

It is in this situation that, as the commander-in-chief of this fleet, he does not know how many people from the army force his spine every day, especially when applying for naval funding every year, he can't even lift his head up. With such an opportunity, how could you miss it?

Ferocious artillery fire was constantly sweeping this piece of ocean, but at this time, Lal Chirac obviously didn't notice, or it was impossible to notice that a crisis lurking under the sea was rapidly approaching them... …

The battleship that maintained its speed was sailing fast on the sea, and the guns it carried were constantly adjusting the angle of attack, always pointing at the Yangtze Fleet, which was trying to avoid the artillery fire.

All of this is an almost logical action under the pursuit of victory, and there is no problem, until the hull of the sailing ship collided with an object in the sea unconsciously...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

The roar of three explosions in a row, and the huge waves splashed directly into a group of soldiers who were standing on the deck of the battleship at that time, and caused the hull to shake obviously.

"Fake! What the hell is going on?!"

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

As far as he knew, the fleet on the opposite side didn't fire at all. Why was their battleship suddenly bombarded?

The completely confusing situation made Lal Chirac's mood become quite bad in an instant.

However, this is not over yet. Soon, the continuous explosions and shocks made the hull shake more violently, and at the same time, the Yangtze River had been aiming at the enemy fleet's heavy-fire main guns. Fire at the same time.

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

The shells that came out of the chambers rubbed violently with the air, and slammed directly on the hull of the enemy battleship with a hellish scream.

Completely different from the previous shelling that only scratched the stern armor of the Yangtze River, this round of shelling of the Yangtze River was simply accurate! The projectiles that flew out hit the ground hard.

Amidst the loud roar, a shell that landed on the deck at that time directly destroyed everything around it, and at the same time took the lives of a group of enemy navy soldiers, and most of the remaining shells hit the ground. On the ship, while destroying the outer armor plate, the tyrannical fire impact also made the battleship that was continuously bombarded like a mayfly on the sea, as if it would sink under the fire at any time.

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

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

This round of counterattacks undoubtedly surprised the Europa fleet under Charlie Klumbel.

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

In the roar of Lal Chirac, the entire fleet quickly evaded while fighting back.

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

Under the sea surface, violent explosions continued to occur, impacting every battleship passing through this sea area, disrupting their rhythm, and having a full impact on them.

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 sound of explosions, a shell slammed directly on the torpedo launcher of a Europa destroyer. This time, the fun was great. With a loud noise, the Europa destroyer was almost sunk on the spot!

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

At this moment, Lal Chirac had no idea what was going on.

They were still in good shape before, why did it suddenly become like this?

"General, general! It's a mine! A lot of mines have been placed in this sea area!!"

Hearing this, Lal Chirac suddenly felt dark, and the whole person was about to go crazy.

"Mine? Why is there a mine in this place? How could there be a mine?!"

During the previous pursuit, they kept an eye on the movements of the enemy fleet. If the destroyer of the other side threw mines, it was impossible for them not to find out!

In fact, of course they couldn't find it, because the destroyers of the Yangtze Fleet had never placed mines at all.

And these mines that appeared out of thin air and caught the Europa fleet by surprise, where did they come from?

The answer is from a special unit in the Yangtze Fleet, the Water Lizard Warrior!

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