The "Artekik" is considered to have fallen bad luck for eight lifetimes, and the C-1 submarine that pursued it as if it was desperate behind it was simply desperate, and Marinesko knew that if he could not dive today, the submarine on the surface would basically have no chance of surviving in this sea area!

Last time, there was no way to dive and it was difficult to return home, this time it was almost impossible to ascend, and now it is unable to dive, and the C-1 is also very unlucky-the comrades have long been desperately mentally prepared, and it is this spirit of death that helped them win the victory in the artillery battle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info.

With such a crazy opponent, the "Artkik" had no chance of escaping at all, and it was impossible to hold out until the anti-submarine aircraft appeared. As the shells continued to fall on the deck, the two ships got closer and closer, and the German captain finally made the decision to surrender and abandon ship.

Through the telescope, Marinesko observed that the Germans were ready to abandon ship, and the German crew on deck was preparing to lay down the lifeboats - this was also the "standard step" for a cargo ship to be bombarded by a submarine and not be able to escape: it was already "customary" to abandon ship if it did not want to die.

Only a few dozen nautical miles from the coast, not in the vast and helpless ocean, the crew can be rescued; Even if there are no rescue boats, you can reach the coast by paddling by hand. In such cases, the opponent generally let the crew loose and did not massacre, which was also the practice that remained during the First World War. If the cargo ship does not surrender voluntarily and is sunk by shells or torpedoes, there is little chance of releasing the lifeboat, and the icy waters can quickly kill the crew. If you encounter a murderous captain, even those who get into the lifeboat have no chance of surviving!

Now that the Germans had stopped the ship, Marinesko ordered the shelling to stop, and the submarine turned at a small angle and circled around the side of the cargo ship a nautical mile away: the Germans, who had put down the lifeboat, saw that the submarine was turning to the side, knowing that the torpedo would soon be fired, rowed away as if they were dead.

Ten minutes later, two lifeboats, still intact, left the cargo ship with dozens of German crew members, and the C-1's No. 1 and No. 2 torpedo tubes were already loaded: in order to quickly deal with the opponent, Marinesko decided to fire two thunder salvos at a depth of 3.5 meters.

"One, number two ready, launch!" The submarine trembled slightly, and two thermodynamic 533-mm torpedoes roared and pounced on their prey a nautical mile away.

Marinesko gave another order into the bridge intercom: "Heading 090, full speed!" ”

At the captain's order, the crew, which was still holding its position in the deck gun position, began to make preparations to withdraw into the boat, which had already decided to spare the German crew, and was not prepared to approach the artillery strafing lifeboat.

Although Marinesco was the captain of the "Murder King" in history, he did not have a penchant for killing, and this time he did not follow the education of the old captain. Soon, two dull loud noises were heard in the distance, and a high column of water appeared on the port side of the target - the "Artkik" was finished.

Leaving the duty officer, the bridge was handed over to Anton for command, and Marinesko returned to the boat. The heavy machine gunners on the bridge did not evacuate, and they and the anti-aircraft gunners on the rear deck were to be on first level alert to pick up German patrol planes that could appear at any time.

Anton looked through a telescope for a while - target number one had disappeared from the sea, target number two was still burning, but no lifeboats were in sight: the overwhelming shelling and strafing had completely reimbursed all the life-saving equipment on the anti-submarine ship.

Behind him, the two lifeboats were not rowing towards the coast, but towards the second target, and it seemed that the German captain was quite affectionate and wanted to see if he could save the German crew.

There is no pungent smell of chlorine inside the submarine, and the crew has no respiratory problems, all because of their usual training. Marinesco nodded to the command cabin personnel who were sticking to their posts, entered the third cabin through the hatch, and went to the telecommunications room first: "Send a report to the base: Our ship sank two German 500-ton anti-submarine ships in an artillery battle, and the torpedo sank the German 5,000-ton cargo ship "Artekik". Our boat is currently returning to the surface state, the high-pressure air cylinder is damaged many times, the battery is damaged, and it is impossible to dive. Add the coordinates. ”

The crisis is far from being resolved, so in this case, I will take this opportunity to report on my own situation. Photographs had already been taken at the time of the torpedo attack, and the name of the ship could be seen from the flank of the German cargo ship, so Marinesko knew that it was the "Artekik".

The boatswain showed up at the door of the telecommunications room, and there was good news - two high-pressure air cylinders were intact, and one was just a loose valve, which could be repaired in ten minutes. In this way, the submarine has the high-pressure air it needs to float, but it is good news.

Marinesko was trying to see the condition of the wounded, Captain Kalinovs, who was performing emergency surgery on the wounded, but the bridge reported: there were two German sailors in life jackets on the water ahead, did they rescue?

The rescue, rather than the capture of the captives, was real - without the good news of high-pressure gas cylinders, Marinésco would never have carried out the rescue, but now the situation is different.

"Carry out the rescue, Anton commands."

Hearing the captain's decision, an order was given on the bridge to "stop the two cars", and the crew began to prepare for the rescue of the German crew.

Marinesko came to the officer's bunk, the submarine did not have an operating room, and both wounded were lying here. The upper bunk had been put away, and Kalinovsky was operating on Private Myaschev, who was wounded in the abdomen.

The morphine worked, the wounded stopped shouting, and Myachev fell into a coma. The surgical assistant is giving him a blood transfusion - blood type A, and there is plenty of blood in the boat (if it is a rare blood type, it is difficult to be a soldier, it is the same all over the world, the unspoken rules. ）。

On the other side, Gallier, a high-ranking sailor with a broken arm, had a tourniquet tied to his stump, and his comrades on the side were also transfusing blood, waiting for the operation here to be done before dealing with his arm.

Gallier's face was a little pale, the morphine was already working, but the massive blood loss made him very weak.

"How does it feel? We won. "Marinesco comforts the injured Gallier.

"It's alright, Captain, it doesn't hurt. I can still work without an arm, and the Germans can't beat me. ”

Gallier is still relatively optimistic, even if he is injured like this, his mentality is still stable. However, he also understands that a person with one arm can no longer be a submariner, and he can only leave in the future.

"If you want to stay in the army, I will report to you when I go back, and I will transfer to a sergeant to stay at the base next year." Marinesco's ability to "drive" Gallier back to the place will not be said later. There are also skilled sailors like Galil who remain at the Red Navy base after being disabled and do what they can. If you go back to the locality, you will be arranged to do relatively easy work, and the Red Navy has done a very good job in this regard.

"Yes." Galil nodded.

Here, Kalinovsky had already removed a piece of shrapnel the size of a fingernail, which had to be stitched up after the wound had been disinfected - Miyashev's luck had only torn a piece of abdominal muscle and a diaphragm, and abrased a small intestine. The small intestine does not need to be amputated, according to what Kalinovsky learned in medical school, because there is no perforation, the abrasion will heal automatically, and only need to be taken care of.

The wound is not large, and the suture assistant can complete it, and the next step is to pass the anti-infection level. The submarine has penicillin stored in it, and Myachev should be able to get through.

After a brief report on Myachev's condition, Kalinovsky began to perform wound cleaning on Galil.

"Captain, are the prisoners taken down?" Report from the command module watchman.

"Hold it down, get the handcuffs ready, and prepare a few dry clothes so you don't freeze to death."

When the submarine approached the two people who had fallen into the water, the Germans who were immersed in the sea were already frozen to death, and the crew dragged them to the deck with the life jackets of the two people with hooks, one of whom was still an officer.

Entering the command cabin, I saw the two German prisoners shivering from the cold, and their mouths were blue: "Is there any hot food?" Give them some, get some wine. ”

A few crew members stripped the two captives with all their hands and feet, because they didn't even have the strength to undress, and this would not be the time to talk about privacy—if you don't change your clothes, you will have to freeze to death!

"Captain, the high-pressure gas cylinders have been repaired, are being pressurized, and will be completed in two minutes. Battery Pack 2 has been reconnected and will provide us with about a third of our underwater power. "The boatswain entered the command cabin and reported.

A third, the submarine can dive nearly 50 nautical miles underwater at an economical speed, which is enough.

"Prepare to dive!"

As soon as the crew outside the cabin heard the captain's order, they immediately made preparations for diving, and the gunners re-closed the anti-aircraft guns and bomb ports and prepared to dive.

The boatswain, handcuffed in his hands, and threw the two captives, who had changed into red navy cotton coats, to the side, and saw that the captain had no intention of interrogating the prisoners, so that he and Ganev, who had brought vodka, to watch the captives, lest they be dishonest.

They were all frozen to death, and although they couldn't understand Russian, the captives saw the movements of the Soviets and knew that they would not abandon them, and their lives were saved for the time being. I changed into dry clothes, but I was still trembling, and I didn't have the ability to be honest.

Everyone enters the boat, closes all the hatches, the high-pressure cylinders are full, "dive to 30 meters, cruising speed." ”

The C-1 submarine slowly descended and gradually disappeared into the sea, and from this moment on, the crew was truly relieved - they were safe!

After an hour of life and death, the C-1 submarine won what can be described as an amazing victory!
