Chapter 10, from this point on, Dongxiang became a thing of the past

The cold seawater made him feel particularly alert at this moment. He saw that the "Langsu" had already approached the "Gaosheng," forcing it to stop, while his own speed in approaching the enemy ship felt as slow as that of a turtle. Faster! He needed to be faster! He had no idea what time it was now and could not check his watch. It was only now that he realized that the underwater attack plan he had devised had many flaws! If only he had brought a dive watch! If he could not implement his underwater explosion plan before noon, the "Gaosheng" would be shelled and sunk by the Japanese at around 1 PM for refusing to surrender! He thought of the inhumane Japanese shooting at people struggling in the water from their small boat, and his anger surged, causing his blood to boil! The seawater no longer felt so cold.

On the sea surface, the silhouettes of two distant ships appeared quite clear. Su Xin and Ling Er saw him, as if they understood his intentions, and nodded in unison. Ling Er even imitated Su Xin and gave him an OK gesture.

"It is Tōgō Heihachirō, you have eliminated the future 'God of War' of the Japanese Navy, the future commander of the Imperial Japanese Combined Fleet," Sun Gang said. "Now, we might not even have the Battle of Tsushima; we have effectively altered the modern history of the Japanese people."

At the moment the mine was firmly attached to the hull, his heart inexplicably calmed down all of a sudden

The silhouette of the Japanese warship gradually grew larger, and he seemed to catch a glimpse of the sailors' figures on the gun positions. He adjusted his direction and began to dive, slowly approaching the "Wave Speed" with the aid of the underwater light.

Remember, make sure to turn the timer on the mines all the way to the end. Don't set it too early, or you won't have time to run and you might blow yourself up. Sun Gang looked at them and reminded them once more.

Currently, the attention of the Japanese people is entirely focused on the "Rising" sign. If they are careful enough, they may notice that three small figures are quietly approaching underwater

"I don't think anyone could withstand that kind of explosion," Sun Gang realized he had misspoken again. He stuck out his tongue and changed the subject, saying: "No matter how many mines we stick, we won't have that kind of power. I estimate it must have accidentally detonated their ammunition depot or something. Perhaps it was the shells piled up next to the gun position. The Japanese are quick to fire and always like to stack shells on the deck."

I truly admire you, really. Su Xin sincerely said to him: If it feels this good, just take down the Japanese warship. When I go back and tell those kids, it will make them envious to the point of bleeding.

A violent explosion sent debris crashing onto the "Gao Sheng" vessel, and astonishingly, not a single body of a Japanese sailor could be seen on the water's surface! Only the floating fragments and oil slicks on the sea served as reminders of what had just transpired.

"What is this? What will no longer exist?" Su Xin listened, his eyes nearly popping out, "What modern history of the Japanese?"

Suddenly, the hull of the "Ransuo" trembled slightly, followed by a series of water columns erupting. The ship swayed, and then a massive orange-yellow fireball erupted from the middle of the hull, emitting thick smoke. Subsequently, accompanied by successive flashes of fire, the entire warship experienced a series of explosions, beginning to tilt. Another violent explosion occurred, and the thick smoke instantly obscured everything

The Japanese must not be allowed to open fire! It is imperative to sink the "Naniwa" before it can fire its cannons and launch torpedoes!

Not long after, the red light emitted by the shelling gradually disappeared, and the battle seemed to have suddenly come to an end. However, he now understood that the real battle had only just begun

Haha, I have defeated the 'War God' of the Japanese! Su Xin grinned and said: "I am just too damn awesome! Just thinking about my great achievements makes me laugh awake in my dreams at night!"

Sun Gang checked all the equipment once more, changed into his clothes, put on the diving helmet, and was ready. He nodded at the two of them, and the three of them first threw the thrusters into the water, then one by one, they entered the water like dumplings.

The three individuals exchanged glances once more, and Sun Gang nodded. Simultaneously, the three accelerated and swam towards their target

Su Xin was the first to regain his composure from the shock, excitedly extending his palm to high-five Ling Er. Su Xin then patted Sun Gang's shoulder vigorously, prompting him to come to his senses. Immediately, he waved his hand to signal both of them to return.

The three individuals stared in astonishment at all of this, hardly able to believe their eyes

The Japanese fast cruiser "Naniwa" can be considered a smaller version of the "Yoshino" and is also one of Japan's main warships. During the Battle of Tōshima, the Japanese brought out all their resources, hmph.

The two of them began to row back, and seeing Sun Gang still in a daze, Su Xin gave him a hard pat to bring him back to his senses

"You want to kill me with your eyes, not a chance." Su Xin smiled and also put on the helmet

Su Xin and Ling Er's current location is unknown to him. He activated the underwater thruster to its maximum speed, desperately rushing towards "Langsu".

Uncertain of how long he had been swimming underwater, when he turned around and could no longer see the massive hull with the naked eye, he still did not dare to surface. He allowed the propeller to carry him forward until he saw two figures in the water not far away, both holding the same object as he was, leap out of the water, at which point he followed them to the surface

Three people swam back, and not far away, upon hearing the sound of an explosion, Xiaoyu hurriedly brought out the small boat to pick them up. Su Xin took off his helmet and shouted loudly in the direction of the sunken "Langsu" from the boat. Ling'er took off her diving suit and, together with Xiaoyu, helped retrieve the propeller.

"You wait, I will settle the score with you after I finish with the library matters." Ling'er glared at him fiercely and put on the diving helmet

His mind was filled with chaotic thoughts, and time passed second by second, feeling particularly long. He remembered reading that during the Normandy landings in World War II, many people waiting for news of the landings smashed their watches in the square. He felt the same way now, his heart was tense to the extreme, as if it were about to leap out of his chest.

At last, Sun Gang's hand touched the rough underwater hull of "Langsu". He carefully turned off the thrusters, allowing it to hover there without the thrusters making contact with the hull. He removed the magnetic mine and, with trembling hands, gently affixed the mine to the hull of "Langsu".

Understood! Shut your crow's mouth!" Su Xin glared at him in dissatisfaction, "Why are you acting like a woman?" As soon as he said it, he regretted it, for several piercing glares shot over from the side.

After confirming that everything was in order, he raised his middle finger and made an internationally recognized gesture of disdain towards "Wave Speed" underwater, then activated the thruster and swiftly fled the "crime scene"

He ensured to turn the timer knob to the maximum by hand, then he removed another mine, secured it, and turned the knob all the way.

Sun Gang looked at him with a hint of amusement, saying, "If you knew who you took down, I think your sense of achievement would be even greater." He looked at Su Xin's expression and asked, "Do you know who the captain of that warship is?"

The silhouette of a Japanese cruiser gradually emerged on the surface of the sea, causing Sun Gang's heart to involuntarily tighten.

Sun Gang changed his clothes, while Su Xin had not yet recovered from his state of excitement. Xiao Yu'er and Ling'er were not as exaggerated as he was, but they also appeared very happy. After all, they had made a contribution to their country, and their small, simple hearts were filled with pride.

Because, as the thick smoke dissipated, the "Langsu" was surprisingly nowhere to be found on the sea, leaving only the "Gaosheng" still present there

How long has it been now? How is the naval battle going? Will the "Jiyuan" and "Guangyi" leave safely? Or have they already been destroyed by the "Yoshino"? Has the old-style small gunboat "Caojiang", which was transporting supplies and equipment, been captured by the "Akitsushima"?

Uncertain how much time had passed, a plume of black smoke suddenly appeared in the distance, and Sun Gang knew that it was the British merchant ship "Gao Sheng," hired by China to transport reinforcements. Onboard were 1,200 troops from the Tianjin Training Army, including the elite guard and artillery units. These reinforcements possessed high combat capability, and if they could reach Korea, they would significantly impact the situation on the battlefield there

Su Xin looked at him with a bewildered expression and said, "I don't know, who is it?"

The feeling of swimming in the ocean is truly exhilarating, Sun Gang maneuvered the thruster, reluctantly glanced at the distant rising sun, gestured to the two of them, indicating that they should head towards the battlefield.

The entire process takes less than five minutes
