Lin Jun just put on a pair of military pants and opened the box door, and Leonov was holding a telegram he had just received. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A brief look: at 23 o'clock on the 8th, the German army launched a large-scale night attack in the city of Minsk, and the intensity of the exchange of fire was greater than before, and the German army seemed to be making a last stand!

Lin Jun breathed a sigh of relief - he was not afraid of the German attack, he was afraid that the German army would temporarily abandon Minsk.

The "Red Whirlwind" will be launched in a week, and Chuikov will definitely be able to support it for a week, and then Minsk will be the thickest "bottom of the bag", and the more German troops are dragged down, the more beneficial it will be for the encirclement!

"Call back: Hold on to Minsk, never allow a step back!" A call back in a commanding style, and Chuikov will handle it. After speaking, Lin Jun turned around and closed the box door, turned off the light and continued to sleep: this will not mean that he can't sleep, but he can sleep peacefully!

Both Zhukov and Chuikov were well aware of the arrangements of the Central Committee - the fiercer the battle in Minsk, the higher the percentage of victories in the battle!

At 5:30 a.m. on Nov. 9, a swarthy submarine was cruising on the surface of the sea 40 nautical miles northwest of Ventspils in the Baltic Sea.

Since the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, the tiny Baltic Sea has become the busiest sea in the world seemingly overnight! This busyness does not mean that there are many ships, but the patrol planes in the sky, the secret anti-submarine fabric, and the navies of the two sides have turned the entire central and eastern Baltic Sea into a battlefield of fighting in order to control the sea!

It is basically bounded by the line of fire on land, the sea area controlled by the German army in the west, and the Soviet Union basically has the final say in the east! Any surface ship is not safe in the Baltic Sea during the day, and the opponent's aircraft will appear in the air at any time, and the opponent's shells may fly on the surface! Large ships seem to be extinct in the Baltic, small ships are everywhere!

The C-1 submarine was floating up and recharging just in time before dawn - it had a snorkel device, but the captain, Captain Alexander Marinesco, preferred to float for a while in the dark, which was good for the morale of the crew and the maintenance of fitness.

On the left side of the submarine's control tower is a huge "Order of Lenin" in recognition of the sinking of two Finnish capital ships two years ago! With the exception of Lieutenant Yelisheyev, the navigator who was transferred only last year, the rest of the crew were involved in the fish attack that went down in history two years ago! All are proud of it, and proud of their submarines!

At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the C-1 submarine was being overhauled in the dockyard of Leningrad, and the news of the outbreak of the war made the sailors' blood boil - the time had come to make a contribution!

However, since it was put into combat readiness patrol in July, the first cruise ended hastily, and on August 2, it also encountered a German long-range anti-submarine patrol plane in the waters west of Chiuma Island, and suffered two anti-submarine misses and could not dive! Fortunately, the submarine's anti-aircraft firepower was strong, not only the original 37-mm anti-aircraft gun, but also two 12.7-mm anti-aircraft machine guns were added to the conning tower during overhaul!

The German anti-submarine aircraft had to evacuate under the frantic counterattack of the crew, and the other bombs dropped hastily did not pose a threat, and the C-1 returned to Tallinn with difficulty.

By the time the submarine was repaired, it was already October, and no one in the Baltic Sea, except for the submarine, dared to cruise openly on the surface. The only submarines that could threaten the entire Baltic Sea were the snorkels, and the C-1 was once again sent on a safari.

Marinesko has tasted what it means to "hold your breath"! If it weren't for the fact that this was a "Stalin" one, it would be difficult to guarantee one's own safety -- the Baltic Sea was too small for a submarine!

This time through the Gulf of Riga and through the Irbe Strait into the Baltic Sea. The C-1 had the highest honor in the Red Navy, and everyone except the chief of navigation wore a glittering medal for "meritorious service"! It was luck to return from a big defeat last time, and this time we must be ashamed and hit the fascists hard!

Everyone knows the danger of going to sea, including the captain, everyone is prepared to never return before going to sea, but the danger cannot stop the heroic Red Navy submariners! There must be no idleness in the port! This is the belief of all commanders and fighters of the submarine force!

"The captain is on the bridge!"

Anton saluted Marinesko, who had just boarded the bridge: "Everything is normal, Comrade Captain. ”

Marinesco stood in front of the barricade and picked up the telescope hanging on his chest to observe for a while: the moonlight was shining, the cold wind was biting, and everything was normal. The razor-like bow of the boat ahead cut through the icy waters, the waves were not high, and there were only two or three levels of wind on the surface.

After looking at the time, Marinesko gave the order: "Dive, snorkel state." ”

Anton immediately repeated the captain's command loudly into the hatch, and the bridge crew entered the boat in turn along the ladder.

Compared to the outside, although the command cabin is also cold, the temperature is still much higher, and at least there is no biting sea breeze. The surface cruising for nearly 10 hours at night also carried a bit of fresh air of the sea, which is rare in the boat.

The last crew member to enter the command compartment tightened the hatch valve, and Anton gave the order: "Tilt angle 5 degrees, snorkel state, speed four knots!" ”

In a few hours, it will be dawn, and in view of the lessons learned last time, it is safer for submarines to be under the surface during the day in this sea area. Since the diesel engine is still used, the listening room does not play much role due to its own noise, and the observation mainly depends on the periscope. The activities of German ships in this area are ordinary, and the C-1 is a combination of opportunities and risks, and everyone can only wait.

Since Marinesko took over the command, Anton could go to the rest meeting. Passing through the command module, the sides of the aisle are filled with food like a department store, and even the command cabin is the same, and all the space that can be used is taken up by bread and sausages!

There were two toilets inside the submarine, but only one could be used, as the other was used to store cabbage and carrots. As he passed the galley, Anton saw the chef, Navy Corp. Ganev, sitting on a crate and napping, the aroma of thick soup emanating from the stainless steel cauldron that was simmering next to him - the submarine's schedule was not as was customary on land, and in a moment it was time for breakfast (for some it was breakfast, some for lunch, and for others it was dinner or supper). ）。

"Ganev, the soup is going dry!" Anton made a joke with the corporal, and this shout was not big or small, and the comrade cook was startled!

"Hello, Captain, it's time for dinner." The cook stood up from the crate. He had been busy for an hour, because it was breakfast, and he didn't need other sailors to help with the cooking, so he did it alone: the meal was relatively simple, and he didn't need to make a few kinds of food like at noon, and the hot food was a cabbage broth, hard bread stuffed into the oven to heat up, and some canned pineapples, which were rare even in the submarine forces.

Since he was about to eat, Anton was not in a hurry to go to the officers' rest area to sleep, and sat down in the special area where the commander ate by the aisle - five minutes later, as soon as six o'clock arrived, the people on the boat began to get busy, and Marinesco also came over: he and Anton sat facing the aisle on a recessed long leather bench, in front of which was a small rectangular stainless steel dining table. To the right of the table sat Lieutenant Shutov, chief of gunners, and on the left was Senior Warrant Officer Krylov, chief engineer, and in the aisle sat two: Captain Navigator Yeliseev and Boatswain Senior Warrant Officer Taran.

Some of the seats for eating in the submarine are fixed, and individuals can eat wherever they want, and these six seats are for six people, even if they are empty, no one else can sit on them.

Its own sailors brought up the commander's utensils and food, but unlike the submarine forces of some Western countries, the Red Navy was relatively casual -- a large piece of black bread was cut by itself, each person had a stainless steel bowl for soup, and a large basin of hot soup in the middle was divided by himself.

Two canned pineapples were opened and counted, and each of them took it for himself -- in the morning, the three officers and men of the whole boat divided one can, and the apples were gone after the usual meal. Except for the commander, the other soldiers and sergeants found their own places to eat

The meal was also a time for the commanders to chat, because the command had already set sail for the C-1 to go on a safari in general, and Marinesco did not need to spend much time on the operation of the route: of course, the captain had the right to make major adjustments to the course if necessary, and it was entirely up to the captain to make a major adjustment.

Everyone ate quickly, but in this way, the only ones who could really eat with peace of mind were the captain and the deputy captain, "Hello, Lieutenant Shutov." As soon as he heard this, the gunner had to stand up and give way, for there were sailors to cross the passage. Both people sitting at the table should get up, and the two people at both ends should also pay attention, because a comrade who is carelessly wearing a thick warm suit will bump into his arm, and it is a trivial matter to drop bread, and it will be troublesome to spill soup.

According to the navigator Lieutenant Yeliseev can be the left side of the table, but he is a newcomer, plus the chief engineer Senior Warrant Officer Krylov is the oldest in the whole ship, and the position on the left is the chief engineer - the officer and the warrant officer are fundamentally different, but the submarine is an independent small society, and the strict hierarchy of the Red Navy will also have a small practical change.

Today, only Marinesko chatted with the chief navigator, and the chief engineer and boatswain talked about eating fresh pineapples on vacation in the Caucasus a few years ago, and breakfast was finished in ten minutes. Ganev walked over, still holding a coffee pot in his hand: Anton doesn't want it, and wants to sleep well.

The comrades sailors came to arrange the dishes, and the commanders were busy: no one knew that in a few hours they would go through a test of life and death!
