The empire's sea wolves have gone to the sea, and the vast ocean will become the hunting ground of sea wolves.
In the early morning, when the sun rises above the horizon, the sea is calm and calm.
When the submarine, which was like a blue whale, was sailing alone on the sea, many sailors came out of the cabin that was mixed with various smells and enjoyed the fresh air on the sea.
While the sailors were laughing and enjoying all this on the deck, Captain Sun Zhiyuan walked onto the bridge. He looked at the clear sky in the distance and asked Wu Min'an.
"How's it going? Do you have any thoughts about this mission?"
"idea……"
Wu Anmin thought for a while and said.
"I think we should enter the English Channel. Now the British are fighting with the French in France. There will definitely be a lot of British ships sailing in the channel. After all, they need to transport troops and supplies to Belgium. Compared to other places,
If we search there, the success rate should be higher."
"The success rate is high, but the risk is also high. Such a fleet must have escort warships. Let's..."
"Captain, warships are also ships. If we seize the opportunity, we can sink them too! Submarines don't just attack unarmed merchant ships. It's easy to attack unarmed merchant ships. But when a merchant ship hangs a neutral flag, should we attack it or not?
?So, if you want to expand the results of the war, you have to attack warships. Warships... Only by attacking warships can you weaken the power of the Royal Navy."
Why do submarines attack merchant ships?
Because it’s easy to fight!
Compared to warships, merchant ships are not only structurally more fragile, but also unarmed, making them perfect targets for attack.
To the sea wolves of the empire, those merchant ships were simply lambs on the prairie, the kind that allowed them to eat their flesh, but this was absolutely not the case.
Merchant ships may be very vulnerable to attack, but merchant ships are also easy to disguise. Simply flying the merchant flag of a neutral country can make submarines watch it leave.
After thinking for a while, Sun Zhiyuan nodded. He thought for a while and then said.
"Well...that's true. Otherwise, let's try..."
In the next few days, the submarine "S83" sailed all the way north. After entering the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean, the wind and waves became stronger. The submarine sailed among the waves, circling left and right from time to time, undulating back and forth.
It was advancing at a high speed of sixteen knots, heading towards the distant battlefield.
…
In fact, the battlefield is not far away.
For the millions of allied troops in the Verdun area, the battlefield was right around them. They were in the battlefield, no, they were in purgatory.
A month ago, when the soldiers came to Verdun, lush woods and French-style rural buildings were scattered among the fields, and everything was quiet and peaceful.
But in just a few days, everything changed.
Brutal battles were fought on long fronts, and the battles even changed the landscape here.
The lush woods no longer exist - either they were cut down by the warring parties for reinforcements, or they were blown apart by fierce artillery fire. Now there are only some incomplete tree stumps standing there, like lonely tombstones.
.
The green fields were completely turned upside down, and the large and small craters turned the earth into the surface of the moon. Under the fierce artillery fire, there was no green on the earth, and only the stumps of trees stood alone.
, and the corpses or body parts hung on the trees remind people that this is a battlefield!
A purgatory filled with death.
After a heavy rain, the battlefield became muddy and there was water everywhere in the trenches. The soldiers could only squat on the shooting platform to avoid being soaked in the water.
But even so, you still need to wade through knee-deep water when walking.
Carrying a Webster Model 100 rifle, Chen Dongguo walked silently in the trench. In front of him, a mouse swam freely. He completely turned a blind eye to this.
But only a month later, humans, rats, and even fleas coexisted peacefully here.
"Dongguo, where are you going?"
Occasionally he would meet a familiar fellow villager and say hello to him.
"I just turned around casually."
He said he was walking around, but actually he was fighting. Finally, after searching around, he found a suitable location, a front observation trench. After entering the observation trench, he grabbed a handful of mud and put it outside his helmet.
He smeared a layer of rags on the wrapped rags, and even smeared some mud on the gun body wrapped in the cloth. After observing it for a while, he carefully poked his head out. At this time, he had almost become one with the battlefield.
After the rain, a little mist rose from the ground. Chen Dongguo observed the British trenches through the mist. It all looked very similar to Anping, but the rain in Anping never stopped. He was born on a farm.
What he likes most is hunting, and right now... this is his hunting ground.
Old hunters need to be patient, only with patience can they wait for prey.
However, on the battlefield, there will always be some people who make mistakes. But after only waiting a few minutes, half of a British soldier's body appeared in the scope. Before the guy realized the danger, Chen Dongguo pulled the trigger.
The trigger.
"boom!"
With the sound of a gunshot, the head in the scope shattered like a ripe watermelon.
When loading the rifle again, Chen Dongtian saw another half of the head popping up over there. The moment it emerged, he pulled the trigger at the same time.
Gunshots rang out and people fell.
Although the shouts from the British trenches could not be heard, if two people died in succession, there would definitely be chaos. When Chen Dongguo quietly withdrew, he heard howling in the air.
Shelling!
"It's a mortar."
Chen Dongguo murmured. When he finished speaking, the artillery shells fell down, exploding clouds of smoke near the trenches. The violent explosion raised large areas of soil. However, such small artillery shells did not pose a great threat to the soldiers.
, unless the shell falls in the trench.
The retaliatory shelling only lasted less than a minute and then stopped. The shelling did not cause them many casualties.
On the battlefield, shooting or shelling back and forth like this is completely normal. Everyone is getting used to it.
In the British trenches, a British general observed the Ming army's defense line, and then he said.
"We must break through the Ming army's defense line!"
The defense line of the Ming army!
In the past month, they have launched many attacks, but they have not been able to break through the Ming army's defense lines.
Barbed wire and machine guns are simply insurmountable obstacles for the flesh and blood of soldiers.
In just one month, tens of thousands of British soldiers died on this land.
However, in war, death is acceptable.
The only problem is how to defeat the enemy, occupy their positions, and then capture Paris!
Occupying Paris and forcing France to surrender was the strategy of Britain and Germany. Although their plans were implemented smoothly, plans were always plans, just as they did not realize that barbed wire, trenches, and machine guns could block their progress.
After putting down the telescope, the general touched his beard and said to himself.
"Okay, now let's level their battle lines to the ground!"
