Chapter 243 The earliest trace of the frogman

In fact, the destruction of warships by diving into the water like frogmen can be traced back to ancient times.

It's just that in ancient times, there were no explosives that could be carried into the water and exploded, so the bottom of the ship was still manually cut through, but the corresponding ancient warships were also made of wood.

As for why the frogman team was born during World War II, this is also thanks to Yin Guo.

You must know that during the First World War, the Yinguo fleet was still invincible, and it deeply shocked Deguo and Italy.

Whether it is the size of the battleship or the sea tactics, Deguo and Italy are far behind the Yinguo, and it is difficult for them to resist the invincible legendary fleet of the Yinguo.

So during World War II, in order to avoid the superiority of the Yinguo fleet on the sea, Deguo and Italy thought of two different coping strategies.

Among them, Deguo adopted submarine tactics, that is, surrounded the Yinguo fleet with a large number of submarines.As for Italy, which is relatively weak in national strength, it is taking a slant of the sword, trying to destroy the Yin Kingdom fleet at a very small cost.

Thus, the Italian "frogmen" unit was born.Frogmen, also known as suicide "human torpedoes".

It refers to the fact that the frogman rides directly on the torpedo, bypassing the underwater defense facilities of the naval fleet, including natural defense barriers such as mines, fences and various coral reefs, and manipulating and accurately attacking enemy ships, with strong concealment and effective attack good.

The selection of frogmen is extremely strict. It not only requires excellent physical fitness, very skilled swimming or diving experience, and a strong body that can withstand water pressure below 30 meters, but also considers the family background of the selectors.

After passing the review, the selectors will also undergo a four-month secret training.Regrettably, Italy has not announced the process of training the frogman troops so far.Of course, that is absolutely hell-level devil training.

Only after passing the examinations in this way can one become a real "frogman".

The successful debut of the frogman unit was in [-].

At that time in the Mediterranean, the Italian fleet was engaged in a fierce battle with the Yin Guo fleet, but the inferior Italian fleet has been in a passive situation.Thus, the frogman troops went to battle, and they will set off the biggest wave in the history of the Italian naval battle in the Mediterranean and North Africa.

In December of [-], the Italian intelligence agency learned that a Chinese fleet was docked at the port of Alexandria, Egypt, including the battleship Warrior and the Queen.In order to show the actual combat level of the frogman troops, on December [-], six frogman soldiers boarded three "pigs" capable of manipulating torpedoes and prepared to sneak into Alexandria.

The "Zhuyi" can control torpedoes, which are special torpedoes specially developed for frogman troops.There are two seats above the torpedo, the front seat is the driver, responsible for controlling the direction of the torpedo; the rear seat is the blaster, responsible for unloading the warhead in front of the torpedo and installing it on the bottom of the target ship.

Different from the Huitian suicide torpedo invented by the little devil, the "Zhuyi" torpedo can ensure that the frogman troops can return to submerge after placing the bomb.Because the speed of the torpedo is worrying, with only two knots, it looks like a pig arching in the mud when it travels, so this torpedo is named "Pig".

Of course, it doesn't have to be like this. Bailixiu can also be carried separately. After all, two to three hundred kilograms of explosives are enough to blow up a [-]-ton ship.

So you only need to carry [-] to [-] kilograms of explosives on your back, and then hit and blast after diving to the bottom of the ship, just like the cluster grenades used when bombing tanks.

Moreover, the forward speed of the pig torpedo is worryingly only two kilometers per hour, not to mention its huge size and easy to be spotted by the ship's sonar.

At night, six frogman soldiers successfully arrived at the outskirts of Alexandria, and found that Alexandria is a natural harbor that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. On the breakwater, only the small opening on the southwest side provides access for ships, and the southwest gate is guarded by several artillery pieces.

If the traditional fleet is allowed to attack Alexandria normally, I am afraid that all the ships of Italy will not be able to defeat here.

But fortunately, in the early hours of the morning, there happened to be three Yinguo cruisers sailing into Alexandria.When the gate was opened, six frogman soldiers sneaked into the port with the three cruisers under the cover of night.

Entering the interior of the port, the six frogman soldiers were divided into three teams.Team No. [-] is responsible for attacking the battleship "Warrior", Team No. [-] is responsible for attacking the battleship "Queen", and Team No. [-] is responsible for attacking the Yinjun aircraft carrier provided in the information.

Team No. [-] progressed very smoothly. They quietly approached the battleship Warrior and attached the torpedo warheads to the bottom of the battleship.Just as they were about to go back, the torpedo was spotted by the searchlight, and the two frogman soldiers were arrested on the spot.

So Morgan, the captain of the battleship Warrior, decided to personally interrogate the two soldiers in diving suits. At this time, it was only 10 minutes before the torpedo exploded on the bottom of the battleship.At first, Captain Morgan thought that the two were just spies sent by Italy, but what they said afterwards was shocking.

One of the frogman soldiers said frankly to Captain Morgan: "Mr. Captain, your battleship is about to explode in 10 minutes. Instead of interrogating me here, it is better to let your soldiers and sailors abandon the ship." Get away."

Captain Morgan didn't take it seriously at first, but when he heard the information brought back by the divers of the Sound Army, he believed what the frogman soldiers said, and then immediately led the entire crew to escape from the "Warrior" battleship.

Ten minutes later, the "Warrior" battleship exploded, and two large holes were blown out of the bottom of the battleship. With an amazing vortex, the "Warrior" battleship sank in the port of Alexandria.

Fortunately, the British army did not suffer any casualties in this explosion, and the two frogmen captives were also taken out of the ship by the Yin army.In a sense, they succeeded in their mission and saved their lives.

Team No. [-] went just as smoothly. After placing torpedoes on the bottom of the HMS Queen, they evacuated the scene immediately.However, due to the slow speed of the torpedo, they were discovered by the searchlights coming and going, and the two became prisoners of the Yin army.

But before the Yin Army could interrogate them, "the battleship Queen exploded. Facing the sudden explosion, the soldiers on the fleet were sucked into the sea by the vortex of the sunken ship when they fled. Hundreds of Yin Guo fleet soldiers were missing or die.

After the No. [-] team entered the port, they did not find the so-called aircraft carrier, but in line with the principle of "everyone comes", the two frogmen attached the torpedo to the "Sagna" tanker, and the No. [-] team The frog soldiers are smarter, they did not evacuate quickly, but sailed into the port quietly, sneaked into the port and waited for rescue.

Accompanied by the explosion of the oil tanker, flames splashed several meters high on the north side of the port. The oil on board floated on the sea surface and was ignited to form a large area of ​​flames.Due to the excessive power of the explosion, it affected a cruiser next to it, and the cruiser was also severely damaged by the explosion.

The three explosions happened almost at the same time. Except for Captain Morgan and his soldiers who managed to escape from the ship, the other sound troops in the port did not know what happened. Suddenly, Alexandria was in chaos and sirens rang out.Yinjun never dreamed that there were only six frogman soldiers who caused such heavy damage to the Yinuo fleet.
