My own war game

Chapter 74: Mines (Seeking follow-up reading)

"Camille, give me the knife!"

Camille was stunned.

She was very familiar with this sentence.

Twenty years ago, she stood beside that man as his assistant, watching him pull one wounded soldier after another back from the brink of death, and this was the sentence he said to her the most.

She was still very young at that time and was still naive about feelings. She also had an ignorant admiration for that man. Occasionally, she would secretly blame herself for not being as brave as Christine.

But later that man died, on the way to blow up the German poison gas bomb.

No one has ever seen his body, but some people saw with their own eyes that he was in the military camp when the explosion happened.

She remembered that she cried ugly when she heard the news.

The same tone of voice, the same expression, the same exquisite skills, there are so many similarities between the two people.

Is he really...

But looking at the overly young face in front of her, Camille shook her head secretly. Even if that person was still alive, he would be in his 40s this year.

Impossible.

The second debridement was done quickly, and what surprised He Chi was that in addition to morphine, there were also two sulfonamides. This first-generation antibiotic is still in the experimental stage, and he didn't expect to have two of them here.

In this way, the possibility of the injured surviving is greater.

"Hurry! Get the people on board! It's time to sail!" He Chi shouted, and the small boat carrying the wounded rowed towards another civilian ship, the "Dandelion".

Soon, the Dandelion sent out a light signal: "There is still room."

"Are there any non-combatants? One more ship can leave! Non-combatants go first!" He Chi asked loudly at the scene.

"My wife is a nurse! Let him go! Let my wife go!" Seeing that there was still room on the boat, Captain Jason on the side started shouting.

"Madam, please get on board. You have fulfilled your duty. Leave the rest to the soldiers." He Chi also persuaded her. Jason and his wife had special meaning to him, and he didn't want anything to happen to them.

Finally, under the reluctant gaze of Captain Jason, Camille boarded the boat bound for the Dandelion.

Then a group of soldiers boarded the Little Ranger, and driven by He Chi's selfish motives, Captain Jason was among them.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you so much, thank you for taking care of my wife." The bearded man on the boat kept shaking the Oriental man's hand.

"Please watch your words. I'm not taking care of anyone. Your wife just meets the criteria of this group of people." He Chi corrected the other party righteously, but in his heart he was thinking, "This wooden head has no political sense after 20 years, and he actually said it to my face. No wonder Camille took so long to marry you."

Only then did Jason realize that he had said the wrong thing, so he simply shrank back and kept silent, only following his eyes on the Dandelion that was walking in front of the queue.

The Dandelion weighed anchor and set sail, about to leave the harbor under the cover of two frigates.

Boom!!! ...

Suddenly, a huge explosion sounded, flames rose, and several large fireballs engulfed the two ships around the Dandelion.

One of the ships was blown apart, with broken planks and other parts floating on the sea. A hole was opened on the side of another ship, and seawater poured in fiercely, causing the hull to tilt instantly.

Mine!!!

"Where did the mines come from?! There was no problem here yesterday, what's going on?!" The naval captain held up a telescope and looked around for potential enemies.

The 3D view in He Chi's right eye lit up, and in the distance in the fog, there were more than a dozen small boats with German markings at the very edge of the map.

They were German minelayers, who took advantage of the heavy fog to lay mines outside the port.

"9 o'clock, free fire!" At the commander's order, the destroyer's 120mm gun turned and aimed at the German minelayers, pouring down fierce fire. The German minelayers were instantly covered by artillery fire and suffered heavy losses.

But their goal had been achieved. When the navy was unable to directly compete with the British army, they successfully laid mines at the cost of half of their ships being sunk.

Although time is limited and the density of mines will not be very high, who would dare to try it when the situation is unclear?

The ships on both sides were attacked, and the helmsman of the Dandelion was obviously panicked, and the ship stopped directly on the sea, unable to move forward or backward.

In the command room of the British destroyer HMS Hereward, Captain John Hughes shouted into the intercom.

"Send a signal! Tell the ship ahead not to move, and have the minesweeper approach and clear the mines."

Two minesweepers sailed to the fixed sea area to start mine clearance operations, while the other ships could only wait where they were.

At this time, the Little Youmin was in chaos.

"Let me go! My wife is still on there! I want to save her!" Captain Jason broke free from the restraints of several people and was about to jump onto the lifeboat. Due to his highest military rank, no one on the ship dared to stop him for a while.

He Chi walked over and looked at the other party. The captain glared back fiercely.

He Chi raised his fist.

bump! !

He Chi punched Jason in the face, knocking him to the ground. Then the Oriental man walked over and grabbed him by the collar. "You idiot, do you want to kill Camille?! Dandelion is still fine now. If you take her to the boat and a random cannonball hits you, you will all die!"

"Wait for the minesweepers to clear the mines, then everyone can leave. Don't make things worse."

Jason panted like a bull, and finally his momentum weakened and he lowered his head. "You're right, I was too excited."

The captain calmed down, but He Chi felt that things were not that simple.

Because the fog began to dissipate.

There was a terrifying buzzing sound in the sky.

A full squadron of Stuka attack aircraft, escorted by six BF-109 fighters, approached the fleet.

The fleet was trapped by mines at this time and became the best living targets.

The shrill air defense alarm sounded, and interweaving fire was fired at the planes in the sky. German planes began to drop bombs under the anti-aircraft fire.

boom! ! ! !

This time the Little Ranger had terrible luck. A Stuka targeted it and a near miss hit the starboard side of the hull, creating a hole in the deck and seriously injuring more than a dozen people with flying shrapnel, including the captain of the Little Ranger.

The smell of blood filled the deck, and the painful cries of the wounded were heard everywhere.

The German planes circled around and flew back, aiming their cold machine guns at the terrified crowd on the ship.

"Damn it! We're dead! Let's fight!" He Chi rushed into the cockpit and shouted to the engineer, "Drive the boat! Go in the direction I say!"

"Without the captain's order, and there are mines ahead..."

A pistol was pointed at the sailor's head.
"Shut up and do what I say!" Without time to explain, He Chi chose the most brutal way.

The 3D image unfolded in front of He Chi’s right eye, and the turbulent sea surface was dotted with mines.

A gold coin and two silver coins appeared in his hand at the same time, and disappeared in an instant.
