Chapter 154 Frogman Special Forces

Therefore, the only way for Liu Xiu's rotorcraft to continue carrying out night raids was to fly close to the ground to get close to the target.

Although many people say that air defense and air defense are defense against nine out of ten, but that is also aimed at those high-speed fighters. Rotorcraft like Liu Xiu, which can only fly at a speed of less than 200 kilometers per hour, are really living targets. Besides, The United States also has such a big killer weapon as the proximity fuze!

A few days later, before dawn, Liu Xiu and Duan Peng flew the gyrocopter to Duanjia Gou, a hundred kilometers away.

Liu Xiu did not accompany Duan Peng back, but stayed next to the gyrocopter and waited for Duan Peng to return.

Not long after, Duan Peng came back with a smile on his face, and then he told Liu Xiu that his mother lived a good life after he joined the army. The local working group of the Eighth Route Army also took great care of his mother, not only helping to fight He bought firewood, carried water, and brought meat to his mother from time to time. When he came home just now, he saw that there were minced meat and oily flowers in the leftover dishes that his mother had eaten last night!

In response, Liu Xiu just smiled and said to Duan Peng, since the local Eighth Route Working Group took good care of your mother, then you, Duan Peng, should feel at ease and fight the Japanese in return.

After that, Liu Xiu drove the rotorcraft back to the airport where the New Third Regiment was stationed at an altitude of less than ten meters above the ground.

But after Liu Xiu came back, he issued a very strange order, which was to ask the New Third Regiment to dig a swimming pool!

The reason why such a strange order was issued was mainly because just now, when Liu Xiu was waiting for Duan Peng next to the rotorcraft, he was thinking about the seven inches of the Mi Army, which was the most fatal weakness seven years later. Where.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Xiucai figured out that the weakness of the Mi Army was not on land or in the air, but on the sea, because most of the weapons, equipment and ammunition of the Mi Army relied on sea transport teams, and the personnel also By sea transport team.

For example, when the US army attacked Xian Guo, they adopted the famous Renchuan landing, which directly cut off the retreat of the Xian Guo team. In the era of hot weapons wars, without logistics, the troops could not hold on much. God, this is why the Xian Kingdom was defeated and asked for help from here and the Giant Bear Country.

Later, with the participation of the war here, the American army abandoned their armor and fled, especially the battle of Changjing Lake. Although it seemed to be a great victory, the effective force of the American army, or the main combat force, still retreated to the seaside and boarded ships. The ship escaped, and its fleet even used the firepower of its naval guns to cause considerable casualties to the pursuing Korean reinforcements.

At this time, the United Front has just ended in the mainland. It is already very good if the industrial power can manufacture a machine gun, so let alone warships, even tanks cannot be manufactured, so there is no way to confront the American army at sea. strength.

After all, warships and tanks cannot be fooled with wood like making airplanes. Tanks and warships must be bulletproof, or even anti-gun. At this time, we have to fool with wood again, let's play!

You must know that ordinary rifle bullets are generally difficult to penetrate a one centimeter thick steel plate, but they can easily penetrate a dozen centimeters or even dozens of centimeters of wood. Therefore, when making tanks or warships out of wood, how thick is the armor required? That's enough!

However, there is no weapon in the world without weaknesses. For example, although a tank can resist rifles and machine guns, it cannot resist anti-tank rocket launchers.

Naturally, warships that appear to be huge and sturdy also have weaknesses, that is, they cannot withstand mine attacks. If a huge ship or aircraft carrier is hit by a mine with a charge of dozens or hundreds of kilograms, it will not sink even if it is hit by a mine. He'll be seriously injured too!

Since water is different from air, water cannot be compressed. Therefore, most of the energy of an explosive placed at the bottom of a ship will be transferred to the hull, so its explosion power will be greater than that of an explosion in the air, or the damage to the hull. The force increases several times or dozens of times!

Of course, if you can blow up the ammunition depot, you can take it away with one shot! From this, a branch of arms was born, the frogmen. Their mission is to dive underwater to install explosives on the bottom of enemy ships and destroy local ships.

The birth of the earliest frogman team was actually during World War II.

As early as the 1920s, countries along the coast of the Earth's End Sea, such as France and Italy, set off a diving craze.

Then in the 1930s, Itali's various competitive diving equipment became more and more advanced, and the design and manufacturing technology of diving masks, underwater breathing apparatus and flippers were leading the world. These new technologies and equipment attracted the attention of the Italian Navy.

So in 1939, Italy's first "frogman" unit, the "Tenth Naval Attack Force", was established. Its officers and soldiers call themselves "frogmen" because their flippers resemble those of a frog. Since then, military divers with combat capabilities have been called "frogmen."

In 1941, Itali established a larger and better-equipped "Desima Frogman Commando", referred to as "Desima", based on the "Tenth Naval Attack Force". It is considered the ancestor of the modern naval "frogman" unit.

"Desima" consists of two teams: one is a surface special attack team, whose members are equipped with "Frogman" transporters, high-speed speedboats and other equipment; the other is a "Frogman" attack team whose members mainly use mines Attack enemy ships. In addition, the Italian Naval Academy has also set up a "frogman" training school to provide talents for "Desima".

From June 1940 to July 1941, the Italian "Frogman" troops made several sneak attacks on the Ying Army's naval base on the Mediterranean coast, but failed. They were either forced to abandon their mission due to faulty diving equipment; or they were discovered by the Ying Army and returned without success.

It was not until September 10, 1941 that the "Desima" made a breakthrough: the "Frogman" first took a submarine to secretly approach Ying's military port in Gibraltar, and then transferred to a "Frogman" transport to bypass the Ying army. defense line, entered the port area, and finally used adsorption mines to sink several transport ships serving the Ying Army. After the attack was successful, the Italian "frogmen" returned to Italy successfully.

Then in early December 2001, the Italian submarine "Sile" carried a group of "Desima" team members and special equipment and headed towards Shandong Port.

Then take the "Frogman" transport and sneak into Shandagang quietly. They placed timed mines on the bottoms of ships such as the Ent and Queen and the cargo ship Sagana.

Soon, a series of explosions were heard in Shandong Port. In the smoke of gunpowder, ships such as the Ent and the Queen were bombed and sunk - the "Desima" surprise attack on Shandong Port was successful.

It was precisely because the frogman team, or special force, was so successful that Liu Xiucai thought of digging a swimming pool to train his special force into a frogman special force that could go to sea and blow up ships.

After all, compared with manufacturing warships, manufacturing equipment for the frogman special forces, such as flippers and diving equipment, is much simpler. With such a method of using small to make big and defeating the strong with the weak, there is no reason for Liu Xiu not to do it!
