The "Wienermoyne" was still insisting, and when the "Ilmarinen" in front was hit by a mine, Captain Telsma subconsciously ordered the right rudder to be full, and by intuition and luck he avoided the No. 5 torpedo. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The undulating sea surface affected the observer's vision to a certain extent, and the mine traces on the sea surface were only discovered when the torpedo approached its own 300 meters, and the "Venamoyne" dodged the first one, but the second torpedo still hit the bow 2.5 meters below the waterline, and the huge explosion directly bombarded its bow!

Fortunately, the explosion did not pass through many watertight compartments, and the "Venamoyne" did not sink and was able to sail at a slow speed of four to five knots. But Telsma knew that his battleship was hopeless, and that it was impossible to reach the Turku base tonight: the lurking Soviet submarine would never spare a wounded heavy coastal defense ship.

"Release the lifeboat, rescue the flagship overboard, let them sail directly to the coast after rescue, and do not return to the ship." Looking at the "Ilmarinen", which was broken in two and sinking 300 meters ahead, he reluctantly gave an order.

Just now Telsma had already reported to the naval command that the formation had been attacked, and now he really wanted to give the order to abandon the ship, but out of loyalty to the country and the glory of the soldiers, it was impossible for him to abandon a battleship that still had the ability to route now, this was simply an act of treason. But the current decision was even more painful for him, which was to send the 400 or so people on board the ship to a dead end, and the Soviet torpedoes would soon make themselves the same fate as the "Ilmarinen".

At a distance of 800 meters from the "Venamoinen", 12 meters underwater, the C-1 is quietly lurking. The sinking and rescue of the "Ilmarinen" was well disguised from the sound on board, and after approaching the optimal position for attack, Lieutenant Alexandre Marinesko ordered the engine to be turned off.

Before entering the position, Marinesco had spotted the second target through the periscope, lowered a batch of lifeboats, and then lowered the periscope.

"How's it going in the listening room?"

"The target has stopped, and there is no movement."

"Monitor closely."

"Yes, Command Module."

Marinesco saw that everyone was paying attention to him, which made him feel inexplicably stressed.

"Captain, look -----"

"If it's us who are trapped, what will the Finns do?" Berg: This is a lesson for the members - this is war, you die or I die!

Wait for the Finns to evacuate before firing torpedoes? Or warn the Finns and tell them to get out of the ship at once? The target was hit, but it was still armed, and as long as you put a 254mm shell in this direction, you will definitely be finished before the Finns!

Those medieval chivalry and humanitarianism are not suitable for submarine warfare, "We are submarines, underwater assassins!" If you want to be a knight in the sun, then we will live to the end! ”

Berg's words were as cold as the waters of the Gulf of Finland, and they were deeply seared into the hearts of everyone in the command cabin, no matter how much they studied in the military academy and during training, they did not learn as much as they did today!

"The first torpedo compartment, ready to launch a torpedo!"

"The first torpedo compartment, the first torpedo tube is ready!"

"Launch!"

The torpedo sped quickly towards the target with the roar of high-pressure air, a moment that not only decided the fate of the Finns, but also allowed Marinesko to truly mature.

"Two cars at half speed, heading 090, diving to 50 meters."

The navigator Chang An Dong read the depth gauge aloud: "30 meters." 35 meters. 40 meters. 45 meters. 48 meters. Horizontal rudder leveling. The first captain has reached a depth of 50 meters. ”

"Turn off the engine."

"Yes, turn off the engine."

At this time, there was no need to listen to the report in the sound room, and everyone heard a huge explosion from the sea again, and the second target was finished.

Ten minutes later, a report came from the listening room that the No. 2 target was sinking, and the sound of the 4,000-ton warship sinking in half a nautical mile could be clearly heard by everyone in the boat, which was a strange sound of twisting steel and boiling seawater.

The time is almost up, "the fire team took the weapon and rose to periscope depth. ”

There were only a dozen lifeboats left on the sea, and the burning diesel fuel illuminated everything clearly, and the surviving Finns were rescuing people on board.

"Ascending to the surface, the fireteam is ready to go to the deck."

The surviving Finnish crew suddenly heard a strange sound a few hundred meters away, the sea boiled again, and a swarthy submarine appeared in their field of vision - it was the underwater ghost that had sunk two of their own warships!

The Finns are desperate, the Russians are going to exterminate them!

A crew of AK-47s with folding supports was the first to rush to the deck, while several others quickly prepared the 100mm deck gun from the forward deck and three others quickly fiddled with the 37mm gun on the aft deck.

"Lieutenant Alexander Marinesko, we are not yet at the point of indefinite war with Finland, and if we encounter a real mortal enemy in the future, even if those on the sea are merchant sailors, you must kill them all, and destroy the enemy's living forces and war potential to the greatest extent. People are potential. ”

"Yes, Captain, I understand. If the Finns do not behave in a way that is out of line, I will not give the order to open fire. ”

Berg was very satisfied with the young man's understanding, and it should be enough to get to this point today, so let those Finns row back to Finland, at most seven or eight nautical miles, and it would not be a big problem. The purpose of going to sea is to let the surviving Finns know that the Red Navy is not as cruel and killing anyone as some people advertise!

"No fire is allowed without my orders!"

"Yes, Captain!" A few of the violent elements really wanted to shoot at the sea, and were a little disappointed by the order of Comrade Lieutenant. But most people were relieved, and if the order was to destroy all the Finns on the sea, they would not hesitate to carry it out, but there would still be a shadow in their hearts.

It was a matter of course to attack underwater, even if it was a Finn cruise ship, but now it was a group of "shipwreck survivors" in lifeboats, and the meaning was different.

"Heading 190, diesel engine start, two cars and half speeds."

The C-1 submarine cut through the surface of the sea and passed several lifeboats, and the sailors on both sides could clearly see each other's faces.

Without the expected frenzied strafing and the shouts of the Soviets, the swarthy submarine left the lifeboats farther and farther away from the water, leaving the surviving Finns feeling like they were walking around the gates of hell. Just now they were all desperate, they could see the black hole of the cannon and the submachine gun in the hands of the Soviet sailors, but the Soviets let themselves go.

"Well done Lieutenant Marinesco, well done boys!" On the bridge, Berg shouted loudly to the people on deck.

The sound of "Ula" sounded again, and today the C-1 was victorious, and the sailors showed their loyalty to the Soviets with their bravery and ability, and it seemed that they saw the glittering medals beckoning to them.

"Navigator, now it's up to you to command the submarine to continue patrolling."

"Yes, Comrade Captain." Anton saluted Berg.

"With the exception of the second group of searchers, the others returned to the cabin." Turning to Marinesko, he said: "It's time to send a telegram to Leningrad." ”

Berg and Marinesko entered the cabin and went to the radio room, "Recorded a message: At exactly 22 o'clock on the night of the 30th, C-1 sank the Finnish Navy's coastal defense battleships "Ilmarinen" and "Venamoinen" off the port of Helsinki in the Gulf of Finland, and there were no casualties on our side. ”

"Marinesco, add the coordinates you recorded." After saying that, Berg returned to the command module and recorded the events of today's battle in the logbook.

Berg knew that soon the submarine would return to Leningrad, and that the above would definitely take his attack very seriously, and would certainly give a lot of publicity and praise.

What do you get? Berg smiled to himself, it can be said that it is really lucky for him to have such an opportunity to create great results at this age. It is the most important thing to be able to fulfill the dream of many years, and perhaps to receive the most glorious title of "Hero of the Soviet Union", if so, he will be the first person in the submarine forces of the Red Navy to receive this honor.

While Berg was thinking about it, Marinesko drilled through the pressure-resistant hatch and returned to the command cabin, "Captain, the submarine command has received our message, I have sent a second battle result confirmation message, and the command congratulates us!" ”

"Good!" Pick up the phone on the bulkhead and adjust it to the whole boat broadcast mode: "I am the captain, comrades, here I thank everyone for their contributions, I will report the detailed battle situation." The Leningrad command congratulated us, well done comrades! ”

、、、、、、

Ten minutes after Berg spoke to the crew of the boat, Lin Jun, who had been in the Leningrad Joint Command after the start of the war, also received a report of the results from Orlov.

"Well done!" Lin Jun shouted happily, "Comrade Orlov, we want to commend all the personnel of the C-1 submarine. ”

Comrade Commander of the Red Navy was also full of red faces: "That's certain, how do you think it's appropriate to commend it?" ”

"Medals for meritorious service in battle" were awarded to all personnel of the boat, and it was proposed to the Central Committee that the C-1 submarine be awarded the "Order of Lenin", the captain of the submarine Akshely Ivanovich Berg with the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union", and other meritorious personnel would be rewarded according to the situation after the submarine returned to port. ”

"Okay, that's it!" (To be continued.) )
