    ) On the stage next to him, a middle-aged man wearing a sergeant's logo is like a drummer behind the military formation, with protruding veins and a ferocious face, shouting and roaring, and behind him, the bright red sun flag is wildly blowing in the wind.  Pull hard!  Before dawn, there is a gentle breeze on the sea. This should be the calmest and most harmonious stage of the day. However, this sea area is full of noisy sounds, and various gunpowder-based explosives are making surprise waves on the sea.  The wild waves and the searchlight beams moving back and forth also destroyed the gradient pattern of natural light!  Looking around, seven or eight destroyers gathered around a small area of ????the sea and frantically dropped depth bombs. Amidst the dull but deafening explosions, huge water columns rose up from the sea, and white water splashed all around.  Farther away, large battleships with majestic wall-type masts and long forecastles sailed quickly toward the southeast in the wind and waves. The unique spoon-shaped bows stirred up a lot of water, and they looked far away.  It's spectacular!  The sea surface is already so chaotic, and the deep water is also in a mess by the falling depth charges.  Every time there is an explosion, the blazing light is fleeting, and a huge amount of water bubbles rise rapidly under the action of water pressure, and the invisible impact is transmitted along the sea water.  In the dim light, a dark submarine was sliding at an inertial speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye, so it seemed to be in a hovering state. The depth bombs that fell far away would not have a serious impact, but every few  There will still be one or two falling nearby every minute!  At this time, in the submarine cabin, dozens of crew members remained silent in various postures, like flesh-colored sculptures under the dim wall lamp.  Steal the sky.  However, the sculptures are not completely devoid of movement. Some people are reciting the Bible softly, or constantly crossing themselves on their chests, praying to the gods in religious beliefs to bless themselves; some people have numb expressions or open their eyes blankly, just waiting.  The end of the nightmare.  In the center of the command cabin, the only two school-level officers on the boat were sitting back to back. At this time, the periscope and sonar could not function. No matter how ambitious they were, they could only put it aside and wait.  The verdict of fate.  Time passed slowly, as if it had been a century. The sounds outside finally became thinner and sounded more and more distant. The 43 people on board, including Major Ludendorff from Germany, should all thank the British again and again at this time.  , because they did not sell the most advanced sonar technology to the Japanese Navy during the political honeymoon period with Japan; they should also be grateful to Marshal Raeder, who served as the commander-in-chief of the German Navy during the Hess cabinet.  It was at his insistence that the submarine radar project, which had entered the experimental stage at that time, was not shared with the Japanese government.  Under the influence of various factors, the Japanese Navy's radar and sonar technology is still at the bottom of the major warring countries. Thanks to the Italians, they are saved from the embarrassing situation of being at the bottom!  Ludendorff and Wiesler helped each other stand up, and the former announced in a confident tone: "Okay, guys, the most difficult period is over! Check all the equipment on the boat. In 5 minutes  Let's start the motor!" Weisler immediately ordered everyone: "Do as Major Ludendorff said!" With the feeling of surviving the disaster, the crew members entered the battle position enthusiastically, eager to put those in the battle position immediately.  The Japanese beat them up and made them cry for their parents and swim back to the Japanese archipelago!  As if he was about to enter the banquet hall, Wiesler carefully arranged his military uniform, hoping to show his most charming side at the most gorgeous moment.  However, the sonar soldier sitting nearby must have been stimulated by Ludendorff's personal participation in the battle. He looked solemn when he put on the headphones again, and he was also the first to speak in the command module: "The sound of the propeller is at least 7,000  Meters away!" Weisler looked at his watch and said confidently: "At this point, the visible distance at sea is less than 7,000 meters, we can safely float up!  "The staff officer quickly reported the depth figure. "We will bite the enemy's butt like wolves, right?"  "Weisler seemed to have been relieved from the previous entanglement. He looked at the German officer beside him with a rare smile on his face. "If their destination is the Mariana Islands, we will still  There is a chance to fight with them!  Ludendorff replied, "I hope other submarines have sent an alert to the landing fleet!"  " From a strategic perspective, this may be the top priority of the submarine detachment. After hearing what Ludendorff said, Wiesler suddenly felt a little annoyed - he seemed to be being led by the nose unknowingly, so that he lost his ability.  This is indeed a big blow to the self-esteem that has just been restored. ¡°After surfacing, the first thing is to report the traces of the Japanese fleet to the fleet and tell them.  , there is at least one Yamato in the fleet??, one Ise-class and two Kongo-class battleships, there may be four or five aircraft carriers, and a huge number of escort ships If they came from the distant Philippines, they would have consumed almost half of their fuel!  At full speed, few Japanese destroyers have a range of more than 2,000 nautical miles!  "Weisler gave the radio operator as much detail as possible to make himself look less like a failure, but nearly an hour of precious time had slipped away from him. God knows what kind of chain reaction this would have. "This means  The Japanese Navy is very likely to have arranged an oil supply ship. As long as the sea conditions are not too bad, direct sea supply does not take too much time!  "Ludendorff speculated that since the collapse of the British Navy, the German Navy's submarine force has changed from the busyness in the early stages of the war and has become the most leisurely among the various branches of the German army. Like many of his colleagues, Ludendorff spent a lot of time on the long sea.  During the cruise, they were not lazy in learning, but were very active in supplementing various knowledge. Some people studied mechanics, some studied history and politics, and some felt that they were born to fight, so they carefully studied any possible enemies in advance.  . In this era, the transmission of information consultation is not fast enough, but with the support of the increasingly strengthened global intelligence network, the German military staff system, known for its rigor and efficiency, has further improved their encyclopedic military database, although it is still far from complete.  To the point of being omnipotent, it can at least meet the general needs of commanders. Therefore, Ludendorff is not so unfamiliar with the names of Kagero, Yugumo, Qiuyue, Mutsuki, Fubuki, Hatsu and Asashio, as long as they are close.  Close enough, he could even accurately identify several major types of Japanese destroyers in the periscope! "It's a pity that in the vast sea, we don't have radar or submarine aircraft, so there is no way to find their traces!"  "Weissler's words are obviously an insinuation of Germany's "quasi-ally" who is unwilling to provide these technologies. In fact, the United States has more research and development on ship-borne radar and submarine carriers than the Germans, but later  The researchers were motivated by the war and seized a lot of valuable technical information from the British. Only then did they achieve rapid breakthroughs between 1941 and 1942. In the German-American military exchanges, the American representatives were obviously ready for the German side at any time.  They were full of envy for the "experimental equipment" put into actual combat, but they gradually discovered that these were without exception the Germans' political bargaining chips at the negotiating table. If they wanted to obtain them, they had to pay a corresponding price, and in some aspects they were  The U.S. government has been reluctant to take the lead. Therefore, a large number of military technology projects are stuck in the negotiation stage. The U.S. government certainly has the ability to complete research and development on its own, but it takes time, and time flies!  After a while, the staff officer reported the depth number of "15". Wiesler's smile had already disappeared. He turned directly and walked to the periscope: "Raise the periscope!  "Facing this American captain whose mood was puzzling, Ludendorff just shook his head gently and turned to the sonar soldiers who were feeling the pressure. "Looking at a higher level, in essence  Why don't the United States and Germany, who are already on the same ship, experience such twists and turns in their relationship? Turning the periscope quickly, Wiesler said in an emotionless tone: "There is no enemy ship in sight!"  Come up!  " After a moment, Wessler remembered that he should let the submarine move forward at one-third of the speed to prevent the noise of the motor and propeller from attracting the Japanese destroyers that had not completely left here. However, in the war waters, any small negligence may be  The consequences were fatal. A few minutes later, when he opened the hatch of the submarine command podium with great expectation, he suddenly found a dazzling light in the night, and his face was filled with surprise. Under the flare, black hunting!  Slowly moving forward on the sea, if the distance is far enough, it is still not easy to find. However, less than 5,000 meters away, a Japanese destroyer floated quietly on the sea, with no propeller sound.  There was no engine sound, but the sailors on the gun position were all ready! Seeing such a shocking scene, Wiesler only took a few seconds to react: "Dive, emergency dive!  ¡± Almost at the same moment when he shouted, gunfire flashed on the Japanese destroyer floating on the sea. Regardless of the quality of the sailors, from the perspective of equipment, most Japanese destroyers have quite powerful firepower, and when compared with other  Destroyers of similar national tonnage can be at a disadvantage when fighting, but their biggest weakness is that they are not equipped with radar. No amount of night battle training can make up for the lack of technology. After several rounds of rapid fire, although the shells fell one after another around the submarine, there was not a single one.  It hit the hull directly, and this also gave the American submarine a chance to escape. After a few minutes, it disappeared from the sea again, leaving only some floating hull debris, and then chased and dropped a series of deep water.  After the bomb, the Japanese expected that the same tactics would not be effective a second time, so they cursedHe followed the main fleet carelessly.  As everyone knows, the underwater submarine was damaged in many places, and the crew tried their best to plug the leaks and make emergency repairs, but they still could not save the fate of the submarine.  Lieutenant Colonel Wiesler had no choice but to order an emergency refloating, and then took the crew onto the lifeboat with an extremely heavy heart. He watched helplessly as his submarine submerged into the water again - this time, forever!  (
