Chapter 1245: Strange Jar

Bowls and fishing nets—the officers and soldiers of the Combined Fleet successfully disrupted the offensive of the Royal Fleet’s underwater combat forces with just these two items.

Use fishing nets to block and restrict the movements of the soldiers in the underwater combat unit, and use bowls that are turned upside down on the bottom of the ship to monitor the movements of the soldiers in the underwater combat unit.

All of a sudden, blood and money returned to the commission.

More and more bodies of soldiers from the underwater combat unit surfaced.

Fisher, who was supervising the battle in the distance, saw this scene and his face darkened.

He expected that the commanders of the Combined Fleet would definitely launch a counterattack, but he did not expect that the Combined Fleet's counterattack would unfold so quickly.

"It seems..." Fisher murmured, "The enemy has experience in dealing with enemies underwater..."

The only modern explanation for the combined fleet's ability to launch counterattacks at such a fast speed is that they have dealt with enemies lurking underwater, more than once.

The admission criteria for underwater combat forces are extremely strict. Those who can successfully join the team are, without exception, elites selected from a million. Every time one of them dies, it will make Fisher feel extra painful.

At present, the combined fleet has launched an effective and comprehensive counterattack. If it continues like this, it will not achieve outstanding results.

Besides - their current results are already substantial enough.

Fischer was not just supervising the battle. While supervising the battle, he was also constantly calculating their results.

Sinking 18 battleships No. 1, drowning enemy generals and countless enemy soldiers - to be able to cause such serious damage to the enemy in such a short period of time, it must be said that this is considered a great victory.

Therefore, seeing that he had achieved great success and there was no need to continue fighting, Verscher decided to retreat.

"Burn orange smoke." Fisher turned his head and said to the adjutant who had been waiting at his side.

Orange smoke - the retreat signal for their underwater combat units.

Once it ignites, it means you can retreat.

Soon, a thick line of orange smoke rose from the ship where Verscher was sitting.

The officers and soldiers of the underwater combat forces lurking under the combined fleet’s formation,

After seeing this orange smoke, they all turned around and prepared to withdraw their ships.

At the same time as he ordered the gas orange smoke, Verscher also sent an order to the soldiers in charge of the helm, asking them to prepare to withdraw their Royal Fleet formation as quickly as possible.

After giving several orders in succession, Fisher felt his mouth go dry.

——I'm so thirsty... If it were the usual Anga Lake water, I should be able to drink it directly...

——The current Anga Lake is full of blood, corpses, and shipwrecks. If you swallow the current Anga Lake water, you will probably get sick.

Fisher, who was standing on the edge of the boat, said this to himself with a joking attitude, while casting his gaze outside the boat on the dark lake that was smeared with ink.

"Um?"

As soon as Fisher cast his eyes on the lake, he frowned suddenly.

Because - a small thing on the lake attracted his attention.

It was a big brown jar.

Such a large brown jar appeared quite unexpectedly on the lake.

After noticing the large brown jar, Verscher was surprised to find that it was not the only one on the lake.

As far as Fisher could see, he saw 7 or 8 large brown jars that were exactly the same.

These should be those belonging to the main warships of the United Fleet that sank to the bottom of the lake.

In other words - it belongs to the enemy.

Fisher's curiosity was suddenly piqued.

What's in these brown jars? If it's something useful, just recycle it. With this thought in mind, Fisher ordered his subordinates to fish out the brown can.

The subordinate who fished out the can moved quickly, and soon he brought the wet brown can in front of Verscher.

"Huh?" Verscher picked up the brown jar and shook it, and there was a gurgling, gurgling sound inside.

"Is this...water...?"

Fisher opened the mouth of the jar and put his nose to it. Soso

A smell that was quite familiar to Fisher... no, it should be said to many people, rushed into Fisher's nostrils.

"This is……!"

While exclaiming, Fisher's pupils shrank suddenly.

…

…

The members of the underwater combat force can not only move underwater for a long time, but their speed of swimming underwater is also outstanding.

It only took a while since the orange fog appeared, and all the surviving members of the underwater combat force swam back to their ships.

After all the members of the army boarded the ship, the ship, which had already been prepared to return, immediately set sail and returned to the ship array of their royal fleet.

Although the United Fleet sent warships to pursue it, they could not catch up with the enemy ships that had made preparations to retreat early.

After the ship, which was filled with members of the underwater combat force, returned to the Royal Fleet's ship formation, the Combined Fleet warships that pursued it could only return in despair.

…

…

After returning to the flagship Helles, Verscher had a solemn face, carrying a brown can, and strode toward Otto's location - the bow of the Helles.

Arriving at the bow of the ship, Otto, who had been waiting for Verscher for a long time, immediately said to Verscher with enthusiasm and excitement:

"Fischer! Well done!"

Otto, standing on the bow of the Helles, also saw the heroic fighting of the underwater combat troops just now.

He saw a large number of main battleships of the combined fleet sink. However, Otto was not sure how many battleships sank and how many members of the underwater combat troops they lost.

Otto originally thought that Fescher was rushing towards him at this time to report the battle situation and losses to him.

However, what happened next was beyond Otto's expectations.

Fescher did not report their results and losses in this battle to Otto.

But he handed the brown can in his hand to Otto respectfully.

"Commander! Please open this can and look inside!"

"Hmm? What is this...?"

Although Otto looked puzzled, he still followed Fescher's words, took the brown can, and then opened the can.

A strong pungent smell rushed towards Otto the next moment after the can was opened.

"This is..."

Otto's brows frowned unconsciously.

This smell was too familiar to Otto, a senior general in the army.

"Kerosene..."

The strong pungent smell was the smell of kerosene.

Otto shook the brown can filled with kerosene in his hand and asked Fisher:

"Fischer, where did you get such a big can of kerosene?"

"Reply to the commander! It was salvaged from the lake after the main battleship of the Combined Fleet sank!"

"There are also a large number of identical brown cans floating on the lake!"

"These must be things from the sunken main battleships of the Combined Fleet!"

"Commander! I think - these kerosene are incredible news for us!"

"Why are there so many kerosene on the main battleships of the Combined Fleet?"

"I boldly guess - the Combined Fleet...that Su Cheng wants to launch a fire attack on our army!"
