Chapter 157 Returning from the Voyage
Chapter 157 Returning from the Voyage
While fierce fighting was raging on the battlefields on land, the ocean seemed unusually calm.
The blue sea is vast and magnificent, as if it can accommodate everything!
Flocks of seabirds are soaring in the sky, and dolphins are jumping out of the sea from time to time, as if they are dancing a happy dance!
On a busy international shipping lane, a cargo ship flying the Texas flag, fully loaded with cargo, is heading towards China!
At this point they had been drifting on the sea for nearly three months!
This journey time can be shortened by half!
The sailors on the ship suffered a lot during these three months!
The captain is standing quietly on the deck at this moment, holding a telescope and looking far ahead!
That was his homeland! He had been wandering outside for half a year! Now he was finally coming back!
"Captain, we are entering the South China Sea ahead!" the first mate came over and said.
"Yes! I seem to have seen the mainland! I am finally going home! Generate electricity for them. Do I need to resupply them before entering the South China Sea? They will have to rely on themselves from now on!"
"Yes! I'm going right now!"
No one would have thought that not far behind this freighter, three submarines were quietly diving at a depth of 80 meters underwater!
"Captain, mother ship reporting, we are about to enter the South China Sea! Asking if we need supplies!"
The submarine captain, Lin Yuanfang, who was also the commander of this special formation, stood quietly at the command post and said in a deep voice: "Tell them that we don't need to rush. We will cut off the connecting pipe in ten minutes and start the battery power! Dive to a depth of 100 meters!"
"Yes!"
These were the three submarines that Xu Yan purchased from Germany after a difficult negotiation with Rudolf! In order to transport these three submarines back, Xu Yan racked his brains!
Finally, I had the bold idea of using a cargo ship for sea replenishment, and the three submarines drove back to China on their own! Of course, the prerequisite was to make a few small changes to the submarines!
Rudolf sent a special telegram and discussed this with Xu Yan for a whole day and night!
He really didn't understand how this young man from the East could have so many wonderful ideas! He was really too interested in this young man!
Now that we have entered China's territorial waters, this is the most dangerous part of the voyage! How ironic!
There was no way the Chinese navy was too weak, and was destroyed by the powerful Japanese navy as soon as the war started! Of course, even if they were not destroyed, they would not help Xu Yan's people!
"Captain! We have entered the Izu Strait!"
"Good! Keep it up!"
"Dive 150"
"Received! Dive 150"
"150 up!"
"Good! Keep it up!"
"Report the status of the other two boats!"
"Report to the commander, boat 188 is 800 meters behind me! Boat 172 is 800 meters to my left!"
"Good! Keep it up!"
"Captain! A large surface ship has been spotted ahead!"
"Are you sure? It can't be the Xiangyang!"
"It's not the Xiangyang! It's the characteristics of a warship!"
"How far away?"
"About a thousand meters!"
“Pay attention!
"Eight hundred meters!"
"Stop the car! Surface and raise the periscope!"
As the submarine slowly surfaced, Lin Yuanfang finally saw clearly what was in front of him! "
Through the periscope, an extremely huge warship appeared in front of Lin Yuanfang!
This guy is simply a behemoth!
Lin Yuanfang estimated that this thing should be about 200 meters long! The displacement is at least more than 30,000 tons!
I saw the tall island towering into the clouds and the Japanese flag flying above it.
Lin Yuanfang searched it in his mind!
This is the Japanese Navy's Nagashima-class battleship!
The periscope was retracted and the dive was again made to a depth of 80 meters.
"How is the captain?" asked the political instructor at the side.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a Nagashima-class battleship!"
"Really? I didn't expect we'd run into a big guy right after we got back!"
"Yes! They are really unscrupulous! They have a ship so brazenly sailing around in our waters!" Lin Yuanfang said with a slightly angry tone.
"So what should we do? Should we wait for him to pass, or should we go deeper?"
Lin Yuanfang didn't say anything, but walked quietly around the periscope in the small space.
He was originally a teacher at the National Fengtian University! He responded to the call and joined the army! "
Later, he was selected to go to Germany to learn new equipment! Due to his excellent performance, he became the first captain to return home by driving a submarine alone!
He vaguely remembered the scene when he was first received by Xu Yan!
Especially the phrase "When two brave men meet in a narrow road, the bravest will win!" It speaks of such heroic spirit!
Suddenly he picked up the transmitter and shouted into it: "Attention all crew members! Get ready for battle! Level 1 combat deployment!"
Everyone was stunned! But they quickly realized what the captain was going to do! They quickly answered the combat command into the microphone! "
"Electrical and mechanical warehouse, get ready!"
"Engine room ready for battle!
"Damage control team, prepare for battle!"
"Torpedo room ready for battle!"
"Okay! Load four torpedoes!" Lin Yuanfang stood at his command post with a determined look and ordered.
"Received four torpedoes loaded!"
