0222 Martyrs are eternal, and heroic souls live forever

The captain felt that the matter was very important, and immediately reported to the PLA Navy Department after returning to the harbor.

"Oh, because the navy often trains near the Bohai Sea, and the fishermen who fish in the area all year round are very familiar. The Navy also attached great importance to the report of the fishermen, because according to the training plan, the 361 submarine should not appear near the Inner Truong Son Islands. ”

While speaking, Wang Liang also paid attention to the comment area and answered from time to time.

Seeing that some netizens questioned why the 361 submarine had an accident for more than a week, the naval department did not find it, and finally the fishermen reported it, Wang Liang explained: "In the absence of an emergency, the submarine needs to maintain radio silence, which is to prevent the enemy's anti-submarine tracking." The project 361 submarine belongs to the old submarine imitated in the seventies, and lacks the contact and positioning device of foreign advanced submarines. The base did not know that the project 361 submarine had an accident at all, and thought that it was still conducting daily training. ”

After receiving the fishermen's report, the Navy Department immediately sent troops to inspect it.

It was the 361 submarine, because the handwriting on the outside was clearly visible.

The frogmen dived into the cabin of the 361 submarine and were shocked by what they saw.

The equipment in the cabin was intact, and there were no explosions, burns, or signs of collision, but all 70 officers and men of the boat had already died.

What made the search and rescue personnel feel even more incredible was that all the officers and soldiers were sacrificed in their battle positions, and there was no movement at all.

Looking at the sacrificed officers and soldiers, their expressions were serene, there was no trace of struggle, and there was not even a painful expression on their faces.

"A thrilling scene like a horror movie was staged, and the rescue team did not dare to delay, and immediately reported to their superiors, followed by an intense investigation." Wang Liang said.

The No. 361 submarine was towed back to port, and judging from the logbook, the time had ended on April 16, 2003, which was enough to determine the specific date of the sacrifice of the officers and men on the 361 submarine.

Wang Liang explained: "A logbook is a carrier document that records the main conditions of a ship during navigation and berthing. The driver on duty is responsible for the registration. The items to be recorded include the course, speed, dead position, weather, current, sea surface and channel conditions, fuel consumption and other major events that occur when the ship is sailing and berthing. The logbook is a record of the daily work of the ship, the basis for checking the duty of the crew, and the source material that must be cited and can be legally used when dealing with maritime affairs. ”

Over the course of the next week, the experts conducted a series of investigations and arguments before finally reaching a conclusion.

On the day of the wreck, submarine project 361 floated to a periscope depth close to the surface of the sea, and then stretched the snorkel and air intake valve above the command station out of the sea to draw in air.

There are two possibilities to consider.

First, because the wind and waves on the sea surface were relatively strong at that time, the seawater backflowed into the snorkel pipe, and in order to prevent the influx of seawater, the snorkel was designed with an automatic closing valve.

The second is that the intake valve failed to open due to mechanical failure.

Next, the diesel engine was activated, and the oxygen content of the gas in the boat dropped to zero in less than two minutes, and all personnel suffocated without reacting.

Seeing that netizens were a little misty when they heard it, Wang Liang explained: "The No. 361 submarine needs to recharge the motor used for submersion on the way back to the base. ”

"Charging is done by the submarine's diesel generator, which needs to burn a lot of oxygen, and the submarine has limited space, so in the past, the submarine was generally surfaced, the snorkel and the hatch were opened, and the air flowed naturally into the cabin for the diesel engine."

Only then did netizens understand a little.

On 2 May 2003, Xinhua News Agency released a piece of news: According to information provided by the Navy, a conventionally powered submarine of the Chinese Navy was recently wrecked due to mechanical failure while conducting training in China's territorial waters east of Neichangshan, and all 70 officers and men on board were unfortunately killed. The leaders of the Central Military Commission, the General Headquarters, and the units concerned attached great importance to the handling of the accident, expressed deep condolences for the martyrs, and expressed cordial sympathy to their families. Now the submarine has been towed back to port, and the aftermath is being properly handled.

In 2003, when "Internet literature" was unprecedentedly prosperous, a large number of post-80s writers emerged.

In 2003, the U.S. space shuttle Columbia space shuttle disintegrated over Texas before landing, killing all seven crew members.

In 2003, the fourth generation of leadership was officially taken over.

In 2003, SARS spread rapidly around the world.

In 2003, Taobao, Asia's largest online retailer, was born.

In 2003, the 70 young and outstanding submariners of the Republic left forever.

"Whether it is the No. 361 submarine or the No. 418 submarine, they are the sacrifices made by the Chinese Navy on the road to the open sea, and these young submariners are dedicated to the vast sea frontier for their own beliefs, and they are the silent sea souls of the development of the Republic Navy. Salute! ”

Wang Liang's eyes were full of tears, and those submariners could never be forgotten.

Now seeing these young faces, Wang Liang can't help but think of 361 and 418.

Old tears are rampant.

Comment section.

"Salute to the heroes!"

"If you want to be strong, you must have sacrifices, pay tribute to the martyrs!"

"With the rapid development of national defense science and technology, our navy has finally gone to the deep blue, which can comfort those martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country."

"Martyrs are eternal, and heroic souls live forever."

"It's not so easy to conquer the sea, and the TV series "Deep Sea Blade" is about the story of submariners, which is very difficult."

"I remember that *** once said: 'For the sake of sacrifice and ambition, dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky.' ”

"It's heavy inside."

"Salute to the martyrs! The relatives of the martyrs should be appeased, and the relatives should not be allowed to lose their lives, and the families of the martyrs shed tears,"

"A moment of silence for all the officers and men of the Project 361 submarine."

"I was still young that year, I cried when I watched the news on black and white TV, many years later, I still remember it deeply, and now some netizens say what they say about it, the state concealed it, I must confirm it, and reported it in time that year."

Wang Liang continued: "The 361 submarine accident did not stop the development of our Chinese Navy. On April 29, 2003, thirteen days after the accident, dozens of officers and men received an order to reorganize the 361 submarine. ”

"In August 2004, the 361 submarine was ordered to enter the factory for modification. As a result, the 361 submarine became the first submarine of its type to be modernized. ”

"On February 22, 2005, the modernized 361 submarine underwent its first sea trials after the new formation. Since then, the 361 submarine has embarked on a new journey. ”
