Chapter 50: Pursuit of Shinano
Crash...... Crash......
"it...... Why is it still raining in the submarine? Li Gengxin subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the top of his head. I saw that the pouring sea water just now fell on top of my head along the periscope. Li Gengxin, who subconsciously closed his eyes, felt that the sea water was smashing on his face, and there was a feeling of pain.
When he opened his eyes again, Li Gengxin found that there was still sparse sea water falling out of the tube wall of the periscope at this time, and Li Gengxin, whose face instantly became a little pale, looked back at Dai Mengrao.
The submarine is leaking! Now it's under the sea! Will......
Countless thoughts flashed through Li Gengxin's mind, although at this time he felt that it was a "dream" or an "illusion", but if it was an illusion, it was too real, right? The feeling of being drenched in soup, the peculiar fishy smell of the seawater, and the salty feeling are all so real.
At this time, Dai Mengrao and the crew in the submarine were performing their duties. Li Gengxin found that no one laughed at himself because he was drenched in soup, and the expressions on everyone's faces were frozen in tension and excitement, as if everyone was waiting for him to give orders at this time!
Lying on the periscope and looking outside, where is there a big ship on the sea? Where are there any aircraft carriers?
Thinking of this, Li Gengxin suddenly remembered what Dai Mengrao had just said about one hundred and twenty degrees, glanced at the scale in the periscope at this time, and subconsciously turned to the left.
"No...... No way? Li Gengxin's eyes narrowed suddenly, and then his eyes widened as he looked at the island-like "big ship" in the distance, Li Gengxin subconsciously opened his mouth wide. I don't know if it's saliva or seawater flowing down the corners of Li Gengxin's mouth at this time.
"Such a large aircraft carrier...... And only one? This...... This...... Is this a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier? Li Gengxin subconsciously muttered.
I heard Dai Mengrao say in his ear: "Major! ”
Listening to Dai Mengrao's words, Li Gengxin was suddenly stunned, and turned his head to look at Dai Mengrao and was a little overwhelmed. Dai Mengrao reached out and grabbed the armrest of the periscope and pushed it up, and heard a mechanical sound, and the periscope slowly rose.
Looking at Dai Mengrao's eyes, Li Gengxin blinked innocently. In fact, in an instant, Li Gengxin understood that in the process of pursuit, if the periscope had been on the surface of the sea, it would cut out a very obvious ditch in the sea. If someone is looking over to their side at this time. It will be very easy to find out where you are. When the time comes, if you don't get it right, you will lose your target at least, or you will be killed.
The submarine is on the bottom of the sea, whether it is chasing or running, and the speed of more than a dozen knots is very passive to deal with various situations.
Actually, a cook suddenly appeared in the submarine. And in the distance, an aircraft carrier, like a huge island floating on the sea, is moving in a zigzag shape to avoid high speed. Everything is not something that Li Gengxin can deal with now.
"Dai ...... Forehead...... "Li Gengxin didn't even know how to respond to Dai Mengrao in front of him about this matter.
"Where exactly are we now?" Li Gengxin subconsciously asked.
Dai Mengrao turned around and shouted at the first mate behind him: "Position! ”
The first mate looked down at the nautical chart on the table, and used a compass to compare the longitude and latitude on the chart. But the longitude and latitude that the first mate broke out is simply a Da Vinci code-like existence for Li Gengxin, a chef. I don't even know what this is!
Suddenly, a flash of thought surged out of the depths of Li Gengxin's mind. recalled that Dai Mengrao shouted just now: "This is not an oil tanker at all, this is an aircraft carrier!" ”
Li Gengxin suddenly asked Dai Mengrao: "We are preparing to search and rescue the pilot who fell into the water here, right?" ”
Dai Mengrao was asked stupidly by Li Gengxin! Subconsciously nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
"It's November 1944, right?" Li Gengxin suddenly asked again.
Dai Mengrao's eyes suddenly flashed with deep worry, and he took half a step towards Li Gengxin, stuck to Li Gengxin's mouth, and first shouted: "Major!" Then he lowered his voice and asked Li Gengxin, "What's wrong with you?" It's November 1944, huh? Don't you want to ask if we're in the Sea of Japan, right? ”
"it!" Li Gengxin instantly understood, but he was also confused.
"Did I just order the pursuit of this tanker?" Li Gengxin suppressed his voice and asked Dai Mengrao. Dai Mengrao nodded and snorted.
"Male's Gobi has caught up with Shinano!" Li Gengxin muttered in a low voice. Dai Mengrao didn't hear what Li Gengxin was muttering clearly, and subconsciously asked, "What did you say?" ”
"I didn't ...... Nothing, accelerate and continue the pursuit! Li Gengxin commanded with a slight tremor in his voice.
Dai Mengrao looked at Li Gengxin's expression, and said with some worry: "You really scared me to death." Are you okay? Why do you react so strangely? ”
Li Gengxin shook his head. Didn't speak.
Ignoring Li Gengxin's strange expression at this time, Dai Mengrao muttered to Li Gengxin worriedly: "According to intelligence, the Japanese Navy has no aircraft carrier at all. Their last aircraft carrier, the USS Taiho, had been torpedoed by a large mackerel during the Battle of the Mariana and eventually sank due to an oil and gas leak. Why is there another aircraft carrier bigger than the Taiho now? ”
At this time, the first mate and others in the submarine interjected: "No matter what's going on?" Perhaps this is Japan's last roll aircraft carrier. Since we have met it, it is God who will give us a medal! ”
"That's it, that's it! Give him a few hard blows no matter what! ”
"I believe that our torpedoes that shoot fish are already unbearable!"
Listening to everyone's words, Li Gengxin was more convinced of some information. Turning his head to look at Dai Mengrao, he sighed softly.
At this time, the sonar soldier suddenly said: "Eight nautical miles away, the aircraft carrier is getting farther and farther away from us!" ”
"Can't catch up?" Suddenly, the first mate asked. However, although the words are questions, the answer has already surfaced in everyone's mind.
Submarines chasing aircraft carriers? Even if the fastest submarine wants to catch up with the aircraft carrier, it is like a pickup truck chasing a Ferrari......
Dai Mengrao sighed at this time. This sigh seemed a little disappointed. Afterwards, I heard Dai Mengrao say: "Send a report to Pearl Harbor!" Let's encounter an aircraft carrier bigger than the Taiho, ask for reinforcements, and let all the submarines near the Sea of Japan prepare for wolf pack tactics! ”
"Yes!"
Dai Mengrao's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly continued: "Tell Pearl Harbor!" 100% sure about an aircraft carrier! ”
Li Gengxin said casually: "This is a Yamato-class modified aircraft carrier!" ”
"How do you know?" Dai Mengrao turned his head. stared at Li Gengxin with blazing eyes. (To be continued.) )
