Chapter 479: Suppressing the Rebellion
The Copperfish was blown up all over its body and suffered serious internal damage. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, the excellent military technology of the Chinese Empire was reflected at this moment, so that the Copperfish was not completely sunk.
Kim Sung-go and his men are in despair when the Copperfish submarine suddenly crashes into a ridge, giving them a new hope of survival.
"There's a ridge here!"
"God won't kill me!"
"Turn off the engine immediately and don't make any sound!"
Ridges are mountains in the sea that are submerged by the sea, but there are some high mountains that form ridges in the ocean, similar to reefs in rivers and lakes.
In the Central Pacific region, there are tens of thousands of islands and reefs, and these islands and reefs are actually formed by the outcropping of high mountains on the seabed.
Mountains are high and low, and those below sea level become ridges.
The Copperfish dived to a depth of 200 meters, which is already the maximum depth, and when diving, it is not so safe.
It is close to the Marshall Islands and the Mariana Trench, and if something goes wrong, the submarine sinks to the bottom of the sea and is directly pressed into cakes by the water pressure.
At this time, the Copper Fish actually hit the sea ridge, which was not marked on the chart, and became a lifesaver for Kim Sung-woo.
He parked the Copperfish on this unknown ridge, turned off the engine, and forbade all noise, so that when the Pacific Fleet's active sonar swept over, it would also be reflected by the ridge, and the passive sonar would not hear the signal and noise of the Copperfish.
As long as you survive until night, then you can escape.
On the sea, the anti-submarine formations of the Imperial Chinese Navy suddenly stopped, because their sonar systems could not detect the location of the Copperfish.
When the news came back to the Thunder God battleship, Li Weiguo, Li Weijun, Chen Shen and others who were in a meeting to discuss it were all stunned.
"Did you sink the Copperfish?" Li Weijun couldn't wait to ask.
The communications officer shook his head with a wry smile and replied truthfully: "The anti-submarine formation thinks that they have severely damaged the Copperfish, but they are not sure whether to sink it, but the Copperfish has suddenly lost all signals, and the anti-submarine formation is further confirming whether the Copperfish has been sunk!" ”
Li Weijun's face suddenly darkened, and he said angrily: "Tell them that if they don't sink the Copper Fish, they will all go home and pick up their children, and the Imperial Navy doesn't need to raise a bunch of waste!" ”
The communications officer truthfully conveyed Li Weijun's order, and the commanders of the ships of the anti-submarine fleet over there were also ashamed, and they stepped up their efforts to search for the Tongyu.
Here, in the Thor's commander's office, Li Weiguo also received the news.
Li Weijun explained: "Your Majesty don't worry, the Copperfish will definitely not escape!" ”
Chen Shen added: "Anti-submarine sonar has detected a number of ridges nearby, and the Copperfish submarine may temporarily stop and land on the ridge to avoid sonar detection." However, as long as our anti-submarine warships have been crouching nearby, when the air on the Copperfish submarine runs out, they will have to come out. ”
Li Weijun frowned and said, "It's getting dark, I'm afraid they're going to take advantage of the night to act!" ”
Chen Shen said: "I remember that the Pacific Fleet has practiced night anti-submarine warfare, so there should be no problem!" ”
Li Weijun suddenly glared at Chen Shen, and because Li Weiguo was present, he had to bite the bullet and say, "Of course!" It's a night anti-submarine subject that I personally grasped, and I think that as long as the Copperfish comes out, it will definitely not be able to escape! ”
At this time, Li Weiguo said: "I believe that you will definitely deal with this matter!" Guam I will not go, I will return to Ezo at once, and at the same time send a telegram to the cabinet to convene an emergency meeting to convey to them the meaning of what I just said, so that they can get ready! ”
Li Weijun and Chen Shen immediately received their orders.
At night, hundreds of warships of the Pacific Fleet were densely distributed within a radius of 500 nautical miles, brightly lit, and the sonar system was still sweeping around the nearby waters over and over again to prevent the Copperfish from escaping.
Under the sea, it was extremely cold inside the Copperfish, and Jin Chengwu and several of his subordinates gathered together, shivering and discussing in a whisper.
"It's already midnight, when can we escape!"
"Wait! The sonar detection has not stopped, they are still waiting for the rabbit on it, and we will be sent to death when we go out at this time! ”
Jin Chengwu calmly judged that he was an excellent submarine commander, but unfortunately he was not of the same mind as the Chinese Empire.
The sonar system swept over and over again, and every time it hit the submarine wall, several people trembled and turned pale with nervousness.
"It looks like they're gone far!"
The sonar scans are getting lower and less intensive, and it seems that the anti-submarine destroyers on the surface of the sea are gone.
"Did they give up searching for us?"
"Impossible! They won't let us go! This must be a trap! They must still be on it! ”
Jin Chengwu snorted coldly, this little trick couldn't be hidden from him, so he decided to wait.
Sure enough, half an hour later, the sonar suddenly came in a dense manner.
Several people suddenly sat down on the ground in fright, and sure enough, Jin Chengwu guessed that the Chinese Imperial Navy above did not immediately set a trap.
After another hour, the sonar scanning frequency weakened again.
"This time they're really gone!"
"We're running out of air, and I'm having trouble breathing!"
"You're psychological, scared!"
Jin Chengwu snorted coldly: "The theoretical air reserve of our Tongyu submarine can last 72 hours, but the actual 24 hours are almost exhausted. We'll have to survive 24 hours before they give up searching for us! ”
One of his subordinates was horrified: "Then aren't we all suffocated to death?" ”
Jin Chengwu said: "Don't worry, you can't die!" Don't forget that there are only five of us now, but there are dozens of people, and the extra air is our last hope for a breakthrough. ”
A few of his subordinates calmed down and looked at Jin Chengwu with admiration, but they didn't expect their leader to even calculate this.
"I was going to run away in the dark, but the other side would have thought of this, so we couldn't run away at night, so we stayed lurking until 24 hours before they decided that we were suffocated, or that we had already fled. When they let their guard down, we can only make it to escape. ”
Jin Chengwu said triumphantly, there is no time for him to raise his eyebrows more than this.
However, at this moment, a sneer came from behind him.
"Jin Chengwu, you traitor to the empire, it is impossible for you to escape!"
"Who?"
Jin Chengwu looked back and was suddenly frightened.
I saw a bloody man standing at the door of the second cabin, holding his left chest and chest with his hand, looking at them coldly, very terrifying and gloomy.
"Chen Dachun? You're not dead? ”
Kim Sung-woo quickly recognized the bloody man as Chen Dachun, the captain of the Copperfish submarine.
It turned out that Chen Dachun and others were caught off guard and were killed by a sneak attack by Kim Sung-woo and his subordinates.
Chen Dachun was shot in the heart of his left chest, and blood was splattered on the spot, and everyone thought he was dead.
However, Chen Dachun did not die, because his heart grew to the right side more than ordinary people, avoiding the deadly bullet.
However, Chen Dachun's lungs were punctured, and the blood blocked his trachea, making him suffocate and faint, and Jin Chengwu and his men thought that Chen Dachun was dead, so they threw him and the bodies of other submarine officers and men into the rest cabin.
When throwing the corpse, it happened to cause the blood in the trachea to flow backwards, and the impact brought Chen Dachun back to life.
Jin Chengwu was too few and the time was tight, so his subordinates did not carefully check, so Chen Dachun escaped again.
However, Chen Dachun was shot in the chest and lost too much blood, although he woke up, he had no physical strength, and he was afraid of being discovered, so he could only hide first.
It wasn't until the Copperfish was attacked and sneaked up on the ridge that Kim Sung-woo's men all went to the command cabin that Chen Dachun was given a chance.
Chen Dachun first quietly went to the infirmary, bandaged himself briefly, and then injected a blissful agent, so that he had some physical strength and staggered to the command room.
In fact, Chen Dachun wanted to get a spare weapon and kill Jin Chengwu and a few people, but unfortunately the weapon was on the other side of the command room, and Chen Dachun couldn't get by.
"Chen Dachun, what can you do even if you live? You don't have a gun! How can you beat the five of us? ”
Jin Chengwu snorted coldly, his attitude towards Chen Dachun is very complicated, the two have been partners for more than five years, and they still have feelings, if it is not a last resort, he will not kill Chen Dachun.
At this moment, Jin Chengwu wanted to let Chen Dachun go, but the premise was that Chen Dachun surrendered obediently.
"Haha! I can't beat you, but I can die with you! ”
"You traitors to the Empire, die!"
Chen Dachun let out a loud cry, his eyes were full of anger, and he reached out and closed the hatch.
When Jin Chengwu saw it, he was immediately shocked and said in horror: "It's not good! Stop him, don't let him lock the hatch! ”
However, it was too late at all, and when Jin Chengwu and a few people rushed over, Chen Dachun had already closed the hatch and pulled down the dragon gate gate at the same time.
The gantry gate, as the name suggests, is an emergency device above each compartment door of the submarine. When the submarine is attacked and the compartment is flooded, the gantry gate is lowered to completely isolate the water inlet compartment, and once the gantry gate is dropped, it can no longer be opened.
This was originally intended to protect the submariners, because the submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy often had accidents, and most of the shipwrecked people were drowned because they did not have time to escape.
Therefore, the Naval Equipment Department has developed a dragon gate gate, when the water in one compartment of the submarine cannot be stopped, open the gate gate, completely lock this compartment, so as to protect other compartments, but also to buy time for rescue personnel.
Chen Dachun pulled down the dragon gate gate, just to isolate Jin Chengwu and the five people in the front of the command cabin.
In this way, Chen Dachun has enough time to do something in the rear of the submarine.
Several of his subordinates tried to open the Dragon Gate Gate, but in vain, and then looked at Kim Sung-woo and waited for him to speak.
Jin Chengwu smiled bitterly and sat on the ground.
He had already guessed what Chen Dachun would do, and he had been a partner for so many years, and he really knew Chen Dachun too well.
"Head, what should I do?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Chen Dachun will definitely start the engine to make the maximum noise, or he will directly open the sea valve and sink the Tongyu!"
"Then he's not going to die? Isn't he afraid of death? ”
Jin Chengwu smiled bitterly: "Of course he is not afraid of death!" Soldiers who are able to serve on submarines will not be afraid of death! ”
After a pause, Jin Chengwu continued: "However, I guess he will not open the sea valve and sink himself for the time being, because he has to prove his innocence to the Chinese Imperial Navy, so he will make noise and attract the Pacific Fleet to find the Copperfish!" ”
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, a loud bang was heard from the rear of the submarine.
At the same time, on the sea, the sonar room of the Tiger Heron anti-submarine destroyer suddenly became tense.
"Report! Unusual noises detected! ”
The officer on duty immediately picked up the headphones, listened carefully, and then made a judgment.
Soon, he said: "This voice is very regular, it seems to be a communication code!" Record now! ”
The signal corps quickly recorded the numbers reported by the officer on duty and then decoded them.
This is a clear code, and after the translation came out, everyone was stunned.
"Report to Headquarters immediately!"
"Notify the other ships and discover the location of the Copperfish! Prepare for anti-submarine warfare! ”
……
The siren sounded, and the Pacific Fleet was once again fully operational.
In the Thor's commanding office, Li Weijun took an urgent telegram to report to Li Weiguo.
"Your Majesty, I just received a distress signal from Chen Dachun, the captain of the Copperfish."
Li Weijun told Li Weiguo the contents of the telegram.
Li Weiguo said: "In this way, it seems that the chief of staff Jin Chengwu rebelled, killed all the officers and soldiers of Tongyu, and captured the Tongyu!" ”
Li Weijun nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, there are only five of them, and they are all isolated in the front of the submarine by Chen Dachun!" We've locked on the Copperfish and are ready to sink it! ”
Li Weiguo asked, "Can this Jin Chengwu be captured alive?" ”
Li Weijun and Chen Shen glanced at each other, both shook their heads, it was difficult to capture them alive.
Not long after, there was a burst of explosions ahead, and the Copperfish was finally sunk, or rather self-sinking.
It was Chen Dachun, the captain of the Tongyu, who made this decision, and he used the most primitive hammer to smash the submarine and send a code to the Pacific Fleet, the content of which was only to prove the innocence of himself and other officers and soldiers, and to tell everyone that Kim Sung-woo was a traitor. He did this not only for their own reputation, but also for their families, Chen Dachun did not want his family to be charged with the family of traitors and not be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.
For this reason, Chen Dachun is determined to die with Jin Chengwu.
When Kim Sung-woo started the submarine and was about to escape, Chen Dachun blew up the power compartment and detonated the diesel tank, and the entire Tongyu exploded and sank to the bottom of the sea, killing everyone.
At Chen Shen's request, Li Weiguo agreed to rehabilitate Chen Dachun and others, and only made Jin Chengwu a traitor.
Although Li Weiguo didn't know whether this Chen Dachun was a gang or not, he didn't want to track it down, this was to give Chen Shen face, after all, if the entire submarine of the Tongyu was shut down and committed treason, this Chen Shen would be severely punished, and it would also be a huge shame for the Chinese Imperial military.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"
Chen Shen decided that Chen Dachun was not a traitor and thanked Li Weiguo for giving him this opportunity.
Because of this incident, Li Weiguo planned to put on the heads of the Japanese, so although he did not know the true identity of Kim Chengwu, he gave the Chinese Empire an excuse to attack the Japanese Empire.
Previously, Li Weiguo directly planned to start a war against Japan in the first year of the Chinese New Year, and the military was also worried about what excuse to use, after all, if it was a bad excuse like bullying the British Empire, it would really make people all over the world laugh.
This time, the Copperfish incident can be used as an ideal excuse to play.
However, what Li Weiguo never expected was that the next day he found that the Eastern Fleet of the American Navy had been dispatched, and the target was in the direction of Ezo Tail.
Li Weiguo suddenly frowned and said, "They won't just come to answer Jin Chengwu!" (To be continued.) )
