It is not reasonable, and Cheng Liping is not a drunkard who is addicted to alcohol, so he asked for two cans of beer and went back to rest. Putting the beer on the edge of the narrow bed, Cheng Liping finally put away the cynical smile and sighed silently. Judging from the experience of the past two years, it seems that once you enter the rivers and lakes, you are really inferior to yourself. Even if they have retired, when they encounter problems, these people still want to meet themselves. Could it be that the fate of this life is so doomed, and you can no longer live the life you want?

With the war just around the corner, to say that rest is a lie for self-comfort. The more this time, the more excited Cheng Liping's mood became. I believe Gemu feels the same way.

Living in the cabin of the submarine, he couldn't hear the sound of the sea outside, but Cheng Liping could feel from the slight movement that the submarine had set sail.

When the beer is opened, the bitter taste fills the cabin. Compared to puree beer, this wine is slightly bitter. Cheng Liping took a few sips of wine and put the beer back on the table. He recalled the scene when he decided to retire two years ago, how resolute and decisive he was, and why he did everything now. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that when he used to carry out tasks, he would face the test of life and death every day. Once he dies, he is a hero of the country and the nation, and he will be remembered forever. In addition to being sad, parents may also feel proud of themselves.

And now, he is a civilian. If there is a real accident, I believe that his name will not appear in all the written reports. Like a submarine disappearing into the vast sea, it will become something that never existed.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, Cheng Liping decided to force himself to rest for a while. After all, he is a veteran of a hundred battles, and his self-regulation ability is very strong, and before he has drunk half of a can of beer, Cheng Liping fell asleep half-lying.

I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly there was a violent knock outside the hatch.

"Hey, hey, Cheng, are you asleep?" Cheng Liping heard it clearly, this was Gemu's voice.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Liping stood up and hurriedly opened the hatch.

Gemu walked in nervously and said, "I've met someone else's ship." ”

Cheng Liping suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Looking at my watch, it was already past four o'clock in the morning. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, I slept for a few hours. This is almost the center of the sea, and there is its own submarine on a mission, perhaps an American submarine, and perhaps a submarine ambushed in advance by the third prince. This submarine of the military is not very advanced, and its defensive weapons are torpedoes, and there is no such thing as missiles at all. If someone else launches an attack, it is very likely that Cheng Liping and Gemu will die before they can get out of the army.

"Buzz ......" the sound of a horn came from the cabin, "the enemy situation has been discovered, and all departments are ready for battle." ”

Cheng Liping didn't bother to ask, and hurriedly ran to the commander's cabin. Halfway through the run, he was met by two sailors. The two sailors saluted and said, "Captain, please go to the war room." ”

Cheng Liping nodded and continued to walk forward with Gemu. Coming to the war room, the captain was twisting the periscope to observe the enemy. Several other officers stared at the radar chart, beads of sweat the size of beans on their foreheads. Cheng Liping secretly took a breath, China has been too peaceful with the outside world in recent years, and has never fought any decent battles, and the psychological quality of these officers is really worrying.

"Two destroyers." The captain said, "The displacement is not too large, about three thousand tons." ”

Another officer said: "Twenty-nine knots, eleven o'clock." ”

"Alert." The captain arranged.

Seeing Cheng Liping and Gemu coming over, the captain turned around and said, "The situation is not good, we may be detected by the other party's radar." There is no other defensive equipment other than torpedoes, and you two are ready for impact. ”

Cheng Liping nodded, but didn't say anything. He has not participated in surface combat, and in this case, it is better to listen to the advice of professionals. The comrade in charge of communications has already reported the situation to the military and is waiting for a call back from the military. The war room was silent, save for the ticking of various electronic instruments.

The submarine dived to a depth of 43 meters, sailed at a speed of 13 knots, and remained in the same direction, still heading towards the Korean Peninsula. Everyone in the war room held their breath, and everyone's heart rose to their throats. Cheng Liping is not a saint, and he is not exempt from vulgarity, staring at the radar disk, and all kinds of thoughts in his heart come and go.

The red alarm indicator of "Drip ......" lights up. Everyone's heart fell back into their chests, and the tension became even worse. "It's been discovered." The captain said with a straight face.

"Did you get a call back?" The adjutant picked up the microphone and asked the communications room.

From the adjutant's expression, Cheng Liping knew that the adjutant got a negative answer. Without waiting for the adjutant to speak, the captain shouted loudly: "The other side has fired a torpedo, the left side is full of rudders, the speed is 15 knots, and it continues to dive to 50 meters." ”

Everyone clung to the handles around them, ready to be hit. However, the crew who operated the submarine was highly skilled and successfully dodged the torpedo. The destroyers of the other side were not dry, and soon adjusted their combat formation and began to outflank the submarine that Cheng Liping was riding.

With the help of sonar systems, obsolete submarines had nothing to hide, and soon they were again locked in place by destroyers. This time, the other side not only fired torpedoes, but also used deep-water bombs. Within a few minutes, a rumbling explosion could be heard in the sea outside the submarine. The blasted sea water squeezed the bulkhead of the submarine, making a stiff and terrifying sound, making people nervous and even stop breathing.

"Keep diving." The captain again issued the order. Deep-water bombs are detonated at a predetermined depth, and if they are not dealt with, sooner or later a deep-water bomb will land on the side of a submarine. In the event of a damage to the submarine equipment, it will be difficult to escape.

The submarine came to a depth of 59 meters, and the sound of the deep-water bomb exploding continued to ring in everyone's ears. Cheng Liping took a breath and said, "Can you fight back?" ”

The captain nodded and said, "I'll wait for a reply from my superiors." If the order is given by the higher-ups, we can launch the torpedo. Otherwise, it will be considered a war between the two countries, and the matter will be bigger. ”

Cheng Liping originally wanted to persuade him to make the best judgment according to the current situation, but he opened his mouth and swallowed back the words on his lips. He was a member of the system and knew the importance of organizational discipline. These soldiers are excellent executors, even if they are really killed by others, they will not rashly disobey the order.

But sitting in a submarine is the same as sitting in an airplane. Either nothing happens, or it happens and it's a big deal. In such a deep sea, there is nowhere to escape, and the devil knows how many sharks are waiting for a meal outside. Even if it is a fluke, I am afraid that it will be named by the machine guns on other people's destroyers, and no one will be able to escape.

"Jingle Bell ......" came from the communication room with an order from the superiors, "Allow self-defense and counterattack!" ”

The captain exhaled a breath of turbidity, glanced back at Cheng Liping, and then calmly issued an order: "The No. 1 and No. 2 launch tubes are ready to aim at the atrium of the submarine directly ahead." Azimuth XXX, angle XXX, launch. ”

The torpedo split the sea like an arrow from a string, and sailed towards the opposing destroyer in two perfect white lines. The destroyer was immediately alerted and began to adjust its position, trying to avoid the range of the torpedo. "Launch tube No. 3 ready, launch!" Another torpedo struck at a rapid pace, blocking the destroyer's escape route.

The destroyer increased its horsepower and quickly shifted its head and tail to dodge the previous two torpedoes. But a third torpedo followed, and the original orientation was the stern, but in the process of moving, the bow was sent to the door. Only a "boom" was heard, fires flared up, and billowing smoke rose from the bow of the destroyer.

The destroyer's displacement was not large, and the damage caused by a torpedo was very serious, and after estimating the damage, the destroyer began to sail away from the battlefield with a thick black smoke. Another destroyer, learning that its friendly forces had been damaged, frantically fired deep-water bombs in an attempt to avenge the attack. While directing his crew to maneuver the submarine transfer, the captain informed the comrades in the torpedo room to continue preparing for battle.

Cheng Liping nodded secretly, this captain is very good, only soldiers who have experienced the baptism of artillery fire can become a real decisive officer. These words were the ones he heard when he first joined the army, and they were also the instructions he often heard after being selected into the secret service team.

"Watch out for the other party's submarines." Cheng Liping couldn't help but remind.

The destroyer is on the surface, but the other side should also have a lot of submarines in this area. The navy of this country is not strong, and the quality of submarines is not advanced, but the number of people is large, and the wolf pack tactics can still swallow up their own group of people. The captain nodded and said, "Don't worry, their submarines have been retired by others, and they are not our opponents." ”

"Strategically despise the enemy, tactically attach importance to the enemy," Cheng Liping said with a smile, "Don't think I'm talking too much, you should be familiar with this, right?" ”

The captain laughed and said, "Of course. Grandpa Mao taught. ”

The destroyer threw deep-water bombs for more than 10 minutes and failed to hit the target, but it still circled around the area where the submarine was located, as if calling for other reinforcements. The captain attempted to fire a *, but again failed to hit the opposing destroyer, so he had to slow down and continue to wear down with the destroyer.

In Cheng Liping's view, it is a slow death to go on like this, because people's submarines will come soon. However, Cheng Liping also knew that the captain's choice was correct, that it was his ability to dodge one torpedo, that it was luck to dodge two, and that he would dodge the third and fourth ones, unless God was blind. As long as one torpedo is hit, the people of this boat will probably be doomed. Therefore, slowing down and looking for favorable opportunities to escape from this sea area is the most effective way.

Cheng Liping is only worried about one thing, that is, whether the captain can get rid of the destroyer's surveillance before the arrival of the other party's submarine.
