Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At 15:30 pm on July 7, 1940, it was 130 kilometers away from the Fujian coastline.

    Thirty meters below the sea surface, a black monster is sailing quietly in the dark sea. It is like a ferocious shark quietly lurking in the water, waiting for its prey to arrive.  If you look closely, this cold steel monster is 76.7 meters long and 8 meters wide, with an underwater displacement of more than 1,800 tons. It can be said to be a truly ferocious monster.

    Wearing a fine linen short-sleeved shirt, Sima Wei was in the torpedo room directing two torpedo soldiers to push the crane to push the newly inspected fish into the detonator.

    "Slow down, slow down. Don't hit the torpedo. Ma Shaoshe (read shooting), did you fucking hear me? If you hit the nozzle crookedly, I will treat you like a torpedo."  go out!"

    Although he didn't have to do it himself, Sima Wei was still sweating profusely at this moment. His eyes were fixed on the big guy in front of him. This was a 5-meter-long 7.13-meter-long and weighing 1.937 tons.  The 33-caliber T5B heavy-duty electric torpedo is also the best torpedo Suri can produce from his computer.

    Su Rui attaches great importance to the navy as a service, and spares no effort in its development. However, for well-known reasons, the navy is a service with a long development cycle and slow results, especially the construction of surface ship forces, which takes a long time.  time.  Compared with the surface ship force, the submarine force has a shorter construction period and can quickly form combat capabilities. It has become Suri's first choice after nearly two years of intense training.  An underwater killer force with twenty-two ocean-going submarines finally formally formed an army and began its cruise mission two months ago.

    This morning, after receiving an emergency order from the Naval Command of the Fourth Theater Region.  The eight submarines that were originally ordered to cruise in the waters of Fujian rushed to an area more than 100 nautical miles away from Fuzhou and dived, preparing to attack the Japanese fleet heading here.

    Although the officers and soldiers on this submarine with the hull number U-36 have undergone rigorous training for more than a year, they still seemed very nervous when they experienced actual combat for the first time. All the soldiers were concentrating on their respective posts.  Doing your job.

    In the captain's lounge not far from the torpedo room, Long Yunxiao was leaning on the small table writing a diary under the dim light of the cabin.

    "It was sunny on July 7, the 29th year of the Republic of China

    Today I received a telegram from Commander Su forwarded by the headquarters. Commander Su¡¯s telegram was very simple. There was only one sentence on it: Use your torpedoes to give those little Japanese a taste of color and let them know that they are in the waters that belong to China.  There is also a group of terrifying undersea killers waiting for them!

    After receiving the telegram, all our officers and soldiers were so excited. It has been more than a year. Over the past year, we have conducted countless simulation trainings every day. Although there are still some shortcomings, we can't wait.  Yes¡­we can¡¯t wait any longer¡­¡±

    ¡°The shame of Sino-Japanese War of 1899-1999 shall never be forgotten!¡±

    When Long Yunxiao closed the diary.  Seeing the photo of the Zhenyuan on the title page of the diary, Long Yunxiao couldn't help but take another look at the eight neat bold characters behind the photo.  This is the most commonly spoken sentence among all officers in the navy. Many people have engraved this sentence on their pens or written it in their own notes, and Long Yunxiao is not immune to this.

    "Sooner or later, one day, we will also drag the Japanese warships back to the Chinese military port, and put their anchors in AD for tourists to visit!" Long Yunxiao, who put the diary back in the drawer, repeated his belief again  .

    Putting on his coat, he opened the door and walked out of the captain's cabin to the narrow corridor.  This is a characteristic of all submarines. Everything that has nothing to do with combat will be compressed and simplified as much as possible.

    After walking into the aisle, a strong smell hit my nose.  Although he had adapted to the headache-inducing roar of the diesel engine in the submarine due to surface navigation, it was still impossible for Long Yunxiao to have a good rest in such a noisy environment.  In addition, the pungent smell of diesel and lubricating oil in the submarine was mixed with the body odor of dozens of grown men crowded together.  Coupled with carbon dioxide and various harmful gases, the air inside the boat became even more turbid, even though Long Yunxiao had been in the submarine for more than a year.  But he and many others were still not used to it, and some sailors even had to use cotton balls to block their noses while sleeping.

    The strong smell made Long Yunxiao, who originally planned to go to the command cabin, change his mind and go to the command tower outside the cabin. He went up to the command tower and took a deep breath. A strong breath of warm sea breeze poured into his lungs.  department.

    "Hmmah"

    A ray of warm sunshine and a slightly fresh sea breeze hit his face. The fresh and sweet air made Long Yunxiao couldn't help but close his eyes and take a deep breath!  Every time I go to the control towerBreathing in the fresh air made Long Yunxiao feel more comfortable than ever before.  With a comfortable groan, Long Yunxiao stretched out and leaned on the guardrail next to him and shouted out.

    Seeing Long Yunxiao coming out, a lieutenant on duty came over, saluted him and said hello: "Hello, sir, please come out for some air!"

    Long Yunxiao nodded and said: "Well, the air down there is too uncomfortable, but it's more comfortable here!"

    "Yes!" the lieutenant on duty said with a smile: "Every time I go up to the deck to watch, the people on duty are extremely envious."

    "That's all you've got," Long Yunxiao laughed and scolded, but he also knew that the lieutenant was telling the truth. If he wasn't currently on a combat mission, the deck would probably be crowded with people.  Sailors on duty are needed.

    He took out a box of Hardmen, threw one to the lieutenant on duty, and the two started smoking in the sea breeze.  Although all soldiers love to smoke, smoking is prohibited in submarines.  After all, the air in a submarine is already very turbid. If smoking is allowed, the environment will become even more turbid. No one wants to stay in such an environment.

    After smoking half of a cigarette, Long Yunxiao stretched out his hand towards the lieutenant on duty.

    "Here, give me the telescope."

    "Okay!"

    After receiving the telescope handed over by the lieutenant on duty, Long Yunxiao raised it and slowly looked forward, then turned to the right. Suddenly, his expression began to freeze.

    Today¡¯s weather conditions are very good. Through this high-power telescope, he can clearly see the mast of a ship more than ten nautical miles away slowly appearing in his sight.

    "Target found in direction 163!" Long Yunxiao roared.

    As Long Yunxiao roared, he flicked out the cigarette butt in his hand, and then slid into the boat. The lieutenant on duty followed closely behind. He took a deep breath of fresh air and then also entered.  cabin, and at the same time close the watertight door of the cabin.

    With Long Yunxiao's roar, a sharp battle alarm sounded throughout the submarine, and the lights in the cabin were switched to red battle lights.  The crew of the U-36 submarine suddenly became excited.  The fifty-eight crew members returned to their respective combat positions in just a few dozen seconds.  The entire submarine was instantly enveloped in the solemn and depressing atmosphere before the war.

    After arriving at the command cabin, Long Yunxiao's breathing became rapid, and he became a little excited under the stimulation of adrenal hormones.  This is the first time for Long Yunxiao and all the officers and soldiers of the U36 submarine to engage in actual combat. They will use the torpedoes in their hands to send the enemies on the sea to the graves on the seabed. They will fight for the seniors of the Beiyang Navy who died at the hands of the Japanese.  Revenge!

    Taking a deep breath, Long Yunxiao walked to the periscope and whispered into the microphone: "Attention everyone, I am the captain of the boat, Major Long Yunxiao. Now I am ordering the engine room engine to be halved and the navigation to be raised to the periscope depth! Everyone, all  Get into combat position!"

    The officer on duty immediately repeated his order, "It's sir! Reduce the power to half and sail and start ascending. 25, 2o, 15, 1o, 7!Stop floating, reset the elevator and maintain stability! Captain, we have reached the submarine.  Look at the depth!¡±

    While giving the order, Long Yunxiao found that his palms, which were sweating nervously, seemed to be drying up, and his rapid breathing began to calm down. Everything seemed to be back to the classroom and the simulation drill in the military port.  There is nothing to be nervous about.

    After giving the order, Long Yunxiao stretched out his hand and pushed. The periscope that had been put down slowly rose up, and soon reached a distance of 3.6 meters from the sea. After slowly turning for half a circle, a fleet  The outline appeared clearly in front of Long Yunxiao's eyes.

    The first thing that caught Long Yunxiao's eyes was a destroyer that was coming in a planned manner and emitting black smoke. The thick smoke was particularly obvious under the clear sky.

    Looking at the outline of warships in the distance, Long Yunxiao turned around and said: "Come here, send a telegram to other ships immediately, tell them the current position of the Japanese fleet, and ask them to rush over immediately. And the torpedo room is used to make the final torpedo  Check and be ready to launch at any time.¡±

    Soon, the voice of Lieutenant Sima Wei, the torpedo officer, came from the small speaker above the head of the cockpit.

    "Reporting to the commander, the torpedo cabin is ready and the six torpedoes in the front are ready to be launched at any time!"

    Long Yunxiao looked at the fleet that was heading towards him quickly, and then carefully looked at the few big guys he was protecting behind. They must be the aircraft carriers mentioned in the intelligence. They were really well protected.  So another order was issued: "Everyone's attention, the Japanese Chitose is looking for a destroyer ahead! The speed is fifteen knots. The No. 1 torpedo tube is ready!"

    ? ?Time passed little by little, and looking at the Japanese ship slowly appearing in front of him, Long Yunxiao gritted his teeth and gave the order, "Launch torpedo No. 1!"
