1090 Mother Nature“s Uncanny Workmanship 2
The Japanese frogman unit was the elite of the Marine Corps. They were alleged to be the crè de la crè, because they not only had to be proficient in amphibious operations, but also had to have more special skills than the special task force that focused on land training.
Of course, as the na suggested, they mainly specialized in underwater surprise attacks and reconnaissance.
Carrying specialized scuba gear on their backs, they aid their APS underwater assault rifles at Huo Shaoheng and his n.
The APS underwater assault rifle was specifically reserved for underwater use. The trajectory of the bullet relied upon fluid chanics, so there was no rifling in the gun. Also, the bullet’s shape was more slender, which maximized the speed without causing bubbles in the water.
One Special Operations Forces mber had been killed and the other injured by this rifle.
Huo Shaoheng turned around in the water to fully grasp his situation.
In all directions, there were frogn carrying APS underwater assault rifles. The frogn stared at them nacingly, as if looking at a group of dead people. Huo Shaoheng knew he was in grave danger and imdiately ordered, “Spread out and beat the water! Make the splashes as big as possible!”
The mbers of the Special Operations Forces were also highly trained in underwater operations. As soon as they received his order, they imdiately dispersed. They started wielding their guns in the water, and using their hands and feet to flop around under the water.
Their sudden movents made the water’s surface turbulent, and the big oscillations of the waves blocked the frogn’s sight. Poor visibility underwater ant that their sight was obstructed, and they couldn’t aim precisely. What’s more, underwater combat was different from ground combat since the consequences of inaccurate aiming ant that you were likely to hit your own people! This was especially the case at the mont because there were way more frogn than Special Operations Forces mbers!
There were now more than 200 heavily ard frogn surrounding the 13 Huaxia Empire soldiers. Although they were beneath the surface, nevertheless it was still a grand battle. They were convinced that these people would not escape their grasp!
Huo Shaoheng swung his legs around and churned the water as much as possible while looking for a place on the seafloor where he could set his feet. The sea level wasn’t deep, yet they weren’t in shallow waters, either. There were many brightly-colored coral reefs standing upright on the bottom. Colorful fish swam through the crevices of the coral reefs, yet they were driven away by the turbulence caused by the Special Operations Forces team mbers wildly flapping around in the water.
Huo Shaoheng quickly found a coral reef near the sea bottom and inford his subordinates through the walkie talkie in his mask, “Five o’clock position, the coral reef at 20 ters range. Hide in groups of four.”
They were dealing with frogn at the bottom of the sea. Since they didn’t have the sa sort of appropriate, high-tech equipnt, they could only retreat for the mont and wait for the right ti to strike. Huo Shaoheng kicked his legs and thrust his arms wildly in the water while instructing everyone to retreat.
At that mont, a few frogn couldn’t resist the urge to help the great Japanese empire achieve their mightiest victory since the armistice, and they rushed towards Huo Shaoheng with aggression!
Because Huo Shaoheng and his n had stirred up too much water and their view was obscured, those frogn were afraid of accidentally hurting their own people if they fired. They just surrounded them and did not continue firing for the mont. But when these frogn rushed over intending to fight them in a battle, when they actually approached, they discovered that the Huaxia Empire soldiers that had been right in front of them monts before had suddenly disappeared from their sight! It was like they had seen a ghost, or their eyes were playing tricks on them! Where could they possibly hide on the bottom of the sea?!!
The frogn suddenly raised their APS underwater assault rifles in alert, but it was already too late for them to do anything. The frogn suddenly felt their legs sinking, as if wrapped in sothing, and they frantically tried to shoot at whatever it was that was tying them down.
Huo Shaoheng used his strong, iron-like arm, and his hands twisted around the frogman’s neck as he turned it 360 degrees quickly and snapped it. It was silent under the water. The frogman’s head lolled softly, and he died instantly.
Huo Shaoheng unplugged the dead frogman’s scuba gear then removed his equipnt, put it on his own back, and took his APS underwater assault rifle and bullet clip. Then he propelled his body out with one kick.
The frogman’s body floated to the surface, drifting in the direction of the Japanese territorial waters. The bodies of several other frogn quickly surfaced as well. The frogman killed by Huo Shaoheng still had his clothes on, but several frogn killed by Huo Shaoheng’s n had been stripped clean and thrown to the surface. All their equipnt and clothing had been taken away by the Special Operations Forces.
After a brief episode of slaughter, the waters grew heavy with the scent of blood. The frogn behind them dared not co forward, but instead ford a line and slowly approached them with caution.
Huo Shaoheng and his n had seven to eight sets of frogman equipnt in their hands. Although it was not enough to equip everyone, it was more than enough for their needs. Besides, they hadn’t taken the initiative to attack, they rely hid in the cave by the coral reef and decided to stay put for the mont.
A few people happily swam behind the coral reef bunkers they found and started to divide the gear. Huo Shaoheng only took the APS underwater assault rifle. He leaned on the coral reef and continued to communicate with the ground.
“The other party sent frogn to block our retreat. We can’t get out—” Huo Shaoheng didn’t finish his sentence because a rustling sound ca from the headset. His heart sank. If he had heard it right, that was the sound of electromagnetic interference! After waiting for a few minutes silently, Huo Shaoheng opened the communication line with the station again and found that there was still that sa rustling sound! It sounded like spring silkworms spinning in the rainy night, which should have had hopeful connotations, but now it just signified cold despair!
Huo Shaoheng held the APS underwater assault rifle and contemplated how to save himself. No matter what, even if all 12 of them were killed, Hong Kangquan would be safely returned to the territorial waters of the Chinese Empire!
He raised his gun expressionlessly, then aid at a frogman sneaking up on him and pulled the trigger! The slender bullet spun out of the barrel of the gun like an arrow, cut through the seawater, and plunged into the frogman’s heart. The frogman spasd twice in the water, his hands and feet twitched, then his whole body lost balance and started to fall. Huo Shaoheng swam over and dragged the man towards him, removed all his equipnt, and cast him aside. Now they had another set of frogman equipnt.
From night to day, they had been battling each other for eight hours, and the seawater had changed from dark to bright. They could see the situation around them better now. They also had more and more frogman equipnt in their hands. Now they had more than 20 sets. This ant that they had killed more than 20 frogn. That is, they had killed one tenth of their platoon. Although this number wasn’t that impressive, it definitely wasn’t bad, either.
The Japanese frogman troops were shocked by the combat prowess of these 12 Huaxia Empire soldiers and were too frightened to sneak in, let alone stand near the coral reef. Twenty-eight hours later, Huo Shaoheng had tried countless tis, yet the electromagnetic interference was still too strong to be overco. They could not get in touch with the station.
...
Twenty-eight hours ago, as soon as Huo Shaoheng’s contact with the station was interrupted, Gu Nianzhi had taken notice. Since she was in the central control room, it had the best supercomputer monitoring system in the entire Huaxia Empire and even the All Blue Star.
The voting period of the general election had ended, and the counting had ended as well, so they could start using their central control system again. Gu Nianzhi didn’t leave, and with those 27 people, she took on the task of helping Huo Shaoheng restore communication with them.
This ti, Huo Shaoheng and his n were able to track Hong Kangquan and mobilize the drones out to the sea all because Gu Nianzhi had been working on it behind the scenes to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Even the impressive precision of the drones, down to the 0.01 ter, was due to her ingenuous optimization and modification efforts.
She had been highly anxious ever since she found out that Huo Shaoheng’s communication line with the station was broken. This had never happened before. Since Gu Nianzhi checked the fixed connection signal between Huo Shaoheng’s device and the Nandou Satellite System, he did not necessarily have to initiate contact with the station personally just to indicate that the communication system was running smoothly.
She used a small program to ping every ten seconds. If there was no problem with the connection, the ping would run smoothly.
So when her applet suddenly started reporting frequent errors, and the ping wasn’t running as smoothly as it should have, Gu Nianzhi knew that sothing must have gone wrong.
She quickly turned on Huo Shaoheng’s frequency and started calling him directly, but there was only a rustling sound over the connection that sounded like a silkworm spinning.
However, Gu Nianzhi knew that this distinctive rustling sound was not a spring silkworm spinning on a rainy night but electromagnetic interference!
Huo Shaoheng’s communication line was blocked by the Japanese.
Gu Nianzhi stood up and went out to call General Ji.
