Time went back 9 hours ago, the port of Alexandria, Egypt.

It was late at night, and the sky and the earth were covered with thick night. Except for the cold stars flashing in the sky and the sporadic lights on the port pier, all the space was filled with black.

There was no wind tonight, and the dark sea near the port seemed extremely quiet. There was no other sound except the sound of patrol boats and the sound of waves on the coastline.

Dozens of British ships anchored in the port of Alexandria were gently undulating with the waves. Except for a few naval soldiers on duty on the boat who were on duty at night, most of them were immersed in their dreams.

In two days, it will be Christmas in the traditional Western festival. The naval officers and soldiers of the British fleet all seemed relaxed and happy, silently looking forward to the arrival of Christmas.

However, it was such a peaceful and quiet night, but there was a fierce murderous intent.

At some point, several deep black shadows floated on the sea in the distance. Eight Italian Navy "frogmen" drove four people torpedoes in groups, quietly approaching the port of Alexandria while the night was dark.

During World War II, many countries had such a magical force: they belonged to the navy. The troops responsible for underwater reconnaissance, blasting and performing special combat missions were called "frogman" because the equipment they carried had swimming tools that looked like frog feet in the shape of swimming tools.

This is an amphibious force that has been swimming underwater for a long time and is wearing a mask, equipped with flippers, rubber jackets, oxygen cylinders, etc. to undertake special tasks.

During World War II, the Japanese Frogman troops were known as the suicide squad, but the Japanese suicide squad Frogman program eventually failed.

However, another Axis power once used a six-person frogman unit to severely damage two main battleships of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet, causing the Royal Navy to lose its absolute advantage over the Axis fleet in the Mediterranean. In the end, it could only watch the German reinforcements commanded by Rommel landed in North Africa.

This frogman sneak attack was the most successful sneak attack in the history of the Italian Navy, and the results achieved were far-reaching.

Coincidentally, the same event in the current time and space finally happened, and this time it was not 6 frogmen who were dispatched, but 8 frogmen.

In the European battlefield and North Africa battlefield, Italy and Germany formed an alliance to capture cities and land, but the actual Italian army had a weak sense of existence and could only be described as a hit and assist.

However, in the Mediterranean sea, the Italian Navy can be said to be a typical local snake.

Although the Royal Navy still has the world's first surface combat force with water displacement, it is quite different from the Italian Navy in the Mediterranean waters.

At this time, the Italian Navy had 6 battleships, 19 light and heavy cruisers, and hundreds of other types of ships. In addition, it could also receive support from German submarines. It can be said that it was strong and strong. In addition, its own geographical advantages caused considerable trouble to the British Navy.

At this time, Britain had only 6 battleships, 2 aircraft carriers, 1 battlecruiser, 22 destroyers and 12 submarines at sea.

Before sending the frogman troops, in order to overturn the British Mediterranean fleet, the Italian Navy had several naval battles with the British fleet in Calabria, off the sea of ​​Crete, Cape Taiurad and Cape Matapan.

In addition, the Italian Navy continued to conduct maritime battles to attack and protect transport fleets, as well as sea and air patrol encounters.

During this stage, the British naval transport fleet was attacked by the Italian navy and suffered heavy losses.

However, the British Mediterranean Fleet is relatively strong and has good organization and command, so the Italian Navy can only use light forces to cooperate with submarines and aerospace forces to harass and destroy the British Mediterranean escort transport team.

When facing British battleships on the high seas, the Italian Navy could not take advantage, so it launched a large-scale sneak attack on this British military's most important military port many times, but the results of each battle were very limited.

So in order to remove this thorn in the eye, Italy decided to send out its last killer weapon, which is the person they had just developed and fucked the torpedo: "pig trick".

However, the defense level of Alexandria is very strict. Not only are there a large number of patrol ships constantly cruising and patrolling the nearby waters, but three blocking nets are also arranged underwater. It is not easy to invade the military port and attack.

To ensure the success of this infiltration operation, the Italian Navy conducted rigorous training for several months on dozens of operators.

In order to break through the layers of interception deployed by the British Navy and lock in targets in the military port with complex water conditions, each set of torpedo launchers is controlled by two people, one person is responsible for marching and the other person is responsible for carrying time bombs.

After several hours of stealth, eight Italian frogmen who had been specially trained spent a lot of physical strength and finally successfully passed the British Navy's layer by layer and arrived below the predetermined target.

However, due to the large amount of physical energy they had spent before, they no longer had the strength to place the bulky explosive device at the bottom of the warship, and could only place it directly under the hull.

Since the average water depth of Alexander's military port is no more than 13 meters, according to the power of the explosion, the underside of the hull of the British warship will still be severely damaged.

However, just as the eight frogmen had just put the explosive device in place and were about to evacuate, they were discovered by British patrol boats.

In order to avoid exposing strategic intentions, the eight people were captured and responded to the British army's cross-examination in silence according to the pre-arranged plan.

Until 10 minutes before the detonator exploded, an Italian naval captain suddenly spoke:

"For humanitarian reasons, I can tell the captain that your warship will explode in another 10 minutes! It is still time to evacuate people, but you have to hurry up!"

At this time, the British army woke up as if they were dreaming, but it was too late. Under the commander's emergency order, all the personnel on duty quickly evacuated the warship.

Sure enough, less than 10 minutes later, two battleships, one destroyer and a 7,500-ton oil tanker exploded one after another.

With the violent explosion sounded, a few minutes later, the battleship "Warrior" and the "Queen Elizabeth" battleship "Counterattack" began to gradually sink.

For a time, the entire Alexandria Port was shining in the sky. After a long time of brewing, the Italian Navy finally successfully removed the thorn in the side of the British Mediterranean Fleet.

As a long-term teammate of pigs, the Italian army finally fought an extremely beautiful sneak attack, which reversed the strength comparison between the Italian and British Navy in one fell swoop.

And all this was caused by only 8 Italian Navy "frogmen".
