The man's name was Zhang Minghai, commander of the coastal defense fleet.

At this moment, he stood on the bridge, gazing into the distance, looking rather relaxed.

"Old Zhang, the Thai navy has come out in full force; they're probably going to attack the Phnom Penh naval base."

At this moment, Chen Guoqiang, the political commissar of the coastal defense fleet, walked over with a group of communications soldiers carrying D2 backpack radios.

"Um!"

Zhang Minghai nodded: "The Thai navy only has this much equipment; it's not our main fleet's turn to take action."

Chen Guoqiang chuckled, "So what should we do? We can't just sit around doing nothing, can we?"

“That won’t do. Even small fish and shrimp are still meat. Give the order to the 60th submarine flotilla to hand over these small fry to them.”

Alright!

Chen Guoqiang agreed and turned to leave, leaving Zhang Minghai alone on the bridge, gazing into the distance, "The navy has finally ushered in its first battle..."

October 22, 7:11 PM.

Near Pengchai Island, Cambodia.

Thailand's proud navy is advancing at full speed toward the Phnom Penh naval base.

This fleet consists of two coastal defense ships, twelve torpedo boats, and four submarines.

To ensure the success of the raid, they carried not only a large amount of ammunition, but also depth charges and mines, with the aim of blowing the Phnom Penh fleet to pieces.

"Captain, we are 10 kilometers from Phnom Penh port," an adjutant reported as he ran into the captain's office.

"Hmm!" Captain Sonti Vinyat Green stretched and said, "Get all ships ready. Once the attack begins, drop all torpedoes, depth charges, and mines."

“Yes, sir!” the adjutant replied immediately.

Suddenly, Sonti Bounya Lagren seemed to sense something and looked down at the water.

"Bang—!!!"

Not far away, a deafening roar came from the seabed, followed by a spray of water shooting into the sky.

? ? ? ? ?

What's going on?

Isn't there one of our submarines at this location?

"Bang bang bang—!!!"

Several more earth-shattering explosions followed, the continuous blasts lifting the entire water surface.

"Thump—!!!"

"Thump—!!!"

Sonti Bounya Lagrin was so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to his knees.

All four of their submarines have disappeared, while only two coastal defense ships and twelve torpedo boats remain intact.

"not good!!!"

"There must be a Vietnamese submarine hiding nearby!!!"

"Retreat immediately!!!"

Sonti Bounya Lagrin reacted instantly, scrambling to his feet and directing the remaining fourteen ships to escape.

He knew that the Vietnamese fleet must be lying in ambush all around!

But realizing this now is too late.

"Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!"

Suddenly, the sound of a torpedo being launched came from the right.

On the calm sea, hundreds of torpedoes were lined up in a row, with less than three meters between them, resembling a hedgehog in the eyes of someone with trypophobia, which was terrifying.

Sonti Boonya Lhaglin instinctively tried to change direction, but due to nervousness, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Puff—puff—puff—"

A series of torpedoes broke through the waves.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—!"

All fourteen Thai naval vessels were hit, resulting in violent explosions.

"Boom!"

Then came a deafening explosion, followed by flames and smoke shooting into the sky.

Sonti Bounya Lagrin was thrown into the air by the blast wave and fell into the sea.

"Help...cough cough cough...help..."

The explosion was very powerful, and Sonti Boonya Lagren swallowed a lot of water.

More Thai soldiers nearby were also affected and fell into the sea.

The howling sea breeze dispersed the dust in the air and carried away the screams, gradually fading them away.

After a while, a hundred North Vietnamese Navy submarines surfaced on the sea, forming a column and slowly approaching.

The NLD soldiers inside the ship climbed out onto the submarine deck, opened fire with the deck guns, and unleashed a barrage of shells on the swimming Thai soldiers.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang-!"

"Da da da da da da da—!"

It's even more satisfying than fried fish.

Thai soldiers continue to be killed by bombs.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Sonti Bounya Lagren struggled and swam desperately, trying to escape.

Unfortunately, this was wishful thinking. He had barely swum 100 meters when he was spotted by dozens of deck guns.

"Bang--!"

"Bang--!"

"Bang--!"

"Bang--!"

Shells streaked across the night sky, slamming into Sonti Bounya Lagren's body.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"

The force of the explosion even engulfed Sonti Bounya Lagren.

He completely immersed himself in the seawater and fed the fish.

On the other side, the Panburi coastal artillery position.

The 37th Guard Battalion of Thailand, consisting of 500 men, was stationed here. They formed the first line of defense against enemy ships entering the Gulf of Bangkok.

It was called a blockade, but it really only had a dozen or so outdated coastal defense guns. They were good at scaring pirates, but they couldn't stop any real tough guys.

"Company commander, I heard that the Royal Army not only recovered lost territory, but also drove the National League for Democracy in North Vietnam into retreat. Now those guerrillas in North Vietnam are hiding in their own territory and dare not show their faces." A young soldier said excitedly to the company commander.
