Chapter 1539, rapids
Under the sea, the lizardmen's underwater combat troops directly formed a peripheral cordon, escorting the South China Sea Fleet all the way, and continued to rush towards the main battlefield.
At this moment, a rush of surging sea currents came faintly from a distance, making the underwater lizard soldiers immediately alert.
The two lizardman soldiers who were closer at that time exchanged a quick look, and then one of them immediately swam toward the sea, and quickly sent out a signal while surfacing.
Obviously, the cordon of the fishmen troops has been pushed directly to this border sea area.
Yuan Xi's South China Sea Fleet had just crossed the territorial sea border when it was discovered by the fishmen forces on the opposite side.
At this moment, the lizardmen soldiers who were resting on the decks of each battleship plunged into the sea one after another after receiving the signal. At the same time, as the first-level alarm sounded, the entire fleet instantly entered a special state of preparation for war.
The formation was spread out, and the anti-submarine devices of each submarine hunting submarine were ready to be put in place, forming an interception line directly and invisibly.
Under the sea, while a large number of lizardmen soldiers plunged into the sea, sea units moving at high speed appeared in the distance.
Sure enough, it was the swordfish troops!
The swordfish people's assault force had already launched an attack on their cruise fleet in the South China Sea before, so the lizard people soldiers had already been mentally prepared for this opponent.
After a face-to-face meeting, the Sailfish Assault Team, who still didn't know how their third team died, was obviously full of confidence in themselves, and launched a direct and arrogant attack on the Lizardman soldiers in the deep sea.
The swordfish man with that burst of speed flew over like human-shaped javelins.
Needless to say, the power of this attack is so powerful that it can directly open a hole in the cruiser with one blow.
Faced with an attack of this level, the lizardman soldiers would naturally have no choice but to scatter and evade, rather than confront it head-on.
The soldiers of the swordfish attack team should have expected this. It can only be said that those lizardmen are quite smart. Taking their attack forcefully is basically the same as seeking death.
At this moment, the lizardmen soldiers scattered and evaded, allowing the opponent's swordfish attack team to easily break through the outer defense line.
Their goal was clear, and they didn't pay attention to the lizard soldiers at all. They directly maintained their momentum and attacked the warship closest to them.
It was too late, but soon, with a dull sound, the spear-like mouth organs of the swordfish soldiers pierced the hull of the battleship in one breath.
As part of their body organs, although the spears at the mouth are extremely hard, there is also a certain feedback, and it was at that moment that the feeling of feedback made the swordfish soldiers clearly feel that something was wrong.
"What's going on?"
A strong uneasiness arose spontaneously, and it was not until this moment that they noticed that the side structures of the warships they attacked seemed to be different from the previous warships...
The part hit by the attack showed a rounded shape, like a huge bulge, protruding from the side of the battleship.
However, before they could think too much, the lances at their mouths were sunk into the battleship, and they had no time to pull them out. The lizard soldiers who had scattered before actually rushed in with their water vortex guns.
Come up!
Obviously, this was all part of the tactics. While they were spreading out, the siege formation had already been launched. This was the moment they had been waiting for.
At this moment, the speed of the lizardmen soldiers has reached its peak. One after another, the water vortex guns continue to penetrate the swordfish man's burly body.
After just one round of offensive, the first to establish an advantage was the lizardman underwater combat force!
The pungent smell of blood mixed with the sea water continued to spread, and the severe pain endlessly stimulated every nerve of the swordfish soldiers.
"What the hell! Retreat, retreat quickly!!"
Amidst the roar, a swordfish man who was suspected to be the captain, without hesitation, took the surviving team members from the previous round of attack and dived into the deep sea to evacuate.
The situation here is obviously wrong. The other party has been prepared for a long time. They have been calculated!!
In response, the soldiers of the Lizardman Underwater Combat Force had no intention of pursuing them, but quickly dispersed in all directions.
During this period, the submarine hunter received the signal and began its first work.
From the bombardier installed at the stern of the ship, depth bombs were continuously thrown out one after another, falling towards the dark deep sea, and then exploded one after another after reaching the designated depth or contacting the target.
The powerful impact air mass generated by the explosion recoiled directly, constantly squeezing the surrounding sea water, causing the originally calm sea surface to suddenly bulge, and then completely exploded with the expansion of the impact air mass, and a sea of water bloomed on the sea surface.
Incomparably spectacular huge water flowers!
After this wave of depth bombs were thrown, they didn't know whether the sailfish soldiers who fled to the deep sea were alive or dead. However, it was true that the opponent's attack basically had little impact on them.
The key to this lies in the extra bulge on the side of the ship!
Strictly speaking, that bulge should be called a lightning protection bulge.
In modern warfare, as the destructive power of torpedoes becomes more and more powerful, the early anti-torpedo nets have basically lost their value. In order to withstand more powerful torpedo attacks, mine protection bulges came into being.
If the mine protection bulge is completely isolated from the main body of the battleship, in other words, even if it is attacked, it will basically not have much impact on the main body of the battleship.
At the same time, the interior of this lightning protection bulge is divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers. The outer layer is an air barrier, which to put it bluntly has nothing, and the inner layer is a water barrier, which is filled with water.
If it is attacked by a torpedo, the exploded mine protection bulge will absorb the impact and fragments generated when the torpedo explodes to the maximum extent, thereby protecting the main body of the warship from damage.
The previous attack of the swordfish people, according to the length of the spear in their mouth, is already the limit to pierce the air barrier, and it cannot even threaten the inner water barrier. In this case, it is naturally impossible to cause any damage to the battleship.
Influence.
This modification was ordered by Luo Ji after his South China Sea cruise fleet was attacked by swordfish people.
As for why I didn't do this before.
It's very simple, poor! Do you think that large-scale modification of warships is the same as buying a big cabbage? It can be done with a few copper coins? Over the years, the Navy's military expenditure has been burning to the death of the Ministry of Finance. Previously, it was using cheap
Why spend your spare money on this when you can get it with an anti-torpedo net?
After all, before this war started, looking at the entire battlefield, very few players would waste money building this. As for whether they would build it later, it's hard to say...
