Chapter 592: Submariners, they are all small men
November 29, 1942. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info off the coast of Qinzhou.
The boat leaned up, and a Dalian accent on it said, "Is the commander-in-chief here?" ”
Xiaolu said: "Hello! Is it the third child? ”
The other side said, "It's me." Come on. ”
Yes, this is a submarine, it is the number three, one of the only three active submarines of the Northeast Coalition Army, and the largest one. The person on the submarine was Zhang Laosan, who rowed a boat to send Xiaolu and senior cadres of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation to Tianjin and Xiaolu to get acquainted, and since then they have become good friends.
That time, he learned to drive a steamboat, and he was the first one in the volunteers to learn to drive a steamboat, and along the way, he also learned more than 100 words. Later, because of his intelligence, hard work in cultural study, and good skills on the water, he was the first batch to be sent to the submarine, and now he is the captain.
When learning culture, Zhang Laosan felt that his name was not good, so he asked Xiaolu to take one. Because he aspired to be in the navy, Xiaolu named him the sea. Nowadays, only a few people call him the third child.
Liu Baijie was on guard on the submarine and was the last to enter the submarine. Grabbing the escalator down, he didn't wait for his feet to hit the ground, and began to look around. I saw that the space in the submarine was narrow, there were pipes and equipment everywhere, and the space for people to walk was very narrow.
I saw the crew shouting the password, and after a while, the submarine slowly started.
Because it was dark, the submarine did not dive, and there was a sentry watching from above, and the salty sea breeze blew in, which was very comfortable. Although it is winter, it is not cold at all at sea here, and the temperature is pleasant.
Liu Baijie was most interested in the equipment on the submarine, and when he was looking, Xiaolu squeezed over and said, "Baijie, let me introduce, this is the captain, Zhang Haiyang." ”
Liu Baijie stood up and saluted, and his head hit a pipe with a thud.
Zhang Haiyang, that is, Zhang Laosan, also saluted: "Be careful." I've heard that you're the one who's making a big show in Myanmar this time. ”
The two chatted a few words and hated to see each other late. Zhang Haiyang said: "You follow him to the bunk where you sleep first and familiarize yourself with the environment." ”
Liu Baijie went with a sailor.
Zhang Haiyang said to Xue Rui: "Sister Xue, come with me and go to the cabin where you are resting." ”
The two of them worked hard to get to a cabin door, and Xue Rui saw the words captain's room written on the door, and said, "How can I occupy your bedroom?" ”
Zhang Haiyang said: "Sister Xue, you must occupy my captain's room." You know, the boat is full of guys, the air is not good, and everyone is shirtless when it's hot. You're outside, inconvenient. ”
Xue Rui said: "It's okay, I'm also from the Anti-Japanese Federation, and I'm afraid of this." In that case, let's put all the communication equipment and documents with me first. Thank you. ”
Zhang Haiyang said: "Sister Xue, then I'll go, go and report the navigation route to the commander-in-chief." ”
Zhang Haiyang arrived at the command room and said, "Commander-in-chief, do you want to take a look around first, or listen to my report first?" ”
Xiaolu said: "Let's take a look first." ”
Xiao Lu and Zhang Haiyang walked a few places, Xiao Lu specially checked the weapons, oil, and stored fresh water and food, felt quite satisfied, and asked, "Is there a lack of vitamins in the crew?" ”
Zhang Haiyang said: "A few days ago, there were a few vitamin deficiencies, passing by Hainan Island, we secretly went up and found some fruits and vegetables, all of which were fine." ”
Xiaolu said: "Ocean sailing, lack of fresh vegetables and fruits, be careful." The current sailors are the seeds of the navy, to be loved. ”
Zhang Haiyang said: "Yes." Let's go and see the torpedo. ”
Xiaolu said: "Okay. Is the battery working properly? You know, when it comes to making submarine accessories, the thing we worry about the most, besides the shell, is the battery. ”
Zhang Haiyang said: "We have special personnel to monitor the battery and have special files. At the beginning, there was a problem with the No. 2 battery, but No. 3 was fine. ”
At this time, I heard the guard of a small road say: "Brother, you say, can I come here to work?" ”
One of the sailors said, "You can't, you're too big." All that is needed here are small, skinny people. ”
The guard said: "With such effort, my head hit four times. ”
A sailor said: "Tank crews, submariners, they are all small men." ”
With that, Zhang Haiyang and Xiaolu arrived at the command platform.
Zhang Haiyang asked the observer to go down, became an observer himself, and told Xiaolu about the route of this voyage.
After listening to his report and looking at the dark night on the sea, Xiaolu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The first submarine was a mini-submarine with a displacement of only a few tens of tons, only four crew members, it could only dive, there were no torpedoes, fuel did not work, batteries did not work, it could not dive for a long time, sonar did not work effectively, only the shell passed the test.
At that time, the level of manufacturing was very poor, the engine was dismantled from the Soviet tank, and when it was launched, a lot of air was needed, and it was simply not a submarine.
However, by the second ship, which was the second, the problems were solved, except for the fuel and batteries, the engine design was fine, the material problems were very large, and the accident rate was very high. The tonnage of the second submarine suddenly reached three hundred tons, and the crew also reached twenty people. The most gratifying thing is that the two new 533-mm torpedo tubes are capable of firing torpedoes, and the engine fuel of the torpedoes is very good.
At that time, No. 2 was replenished with small boats, the endurance was strengthened, and it even took several months to transfer the base to Liaoning.
Today, the third submarine has reached the level of German submarines, and several thousand engineer workers work day and night. There was a shortage of technicians and workers, and hundreds of engineers from the entire Northeast were arrested by them.
In order to enhance the survivability of the submarine, the experts of electronic research produced several sets of radars, large and small, and whimsically installed a small radar on the submarine No. 3.
Although there are advanced technical data of Xiaolu, which are the most mature designs in the world, the material industry is not good, the manufacturing capacity is not good, and there are many difficulties. Many people have almost lost confidence, and if it weren't for the repeated encouragement of the trail, the submarine project would have been discontinued long ago.
Looking at the path, Zhang Haiyang said, "What do you want, brother?" "That's what they call it privately.
Xiaolu said: "Third child, I think of the process of building a submarine, it's not easy, it's really not easy. ”
Zhang Haiyang said: "We must make good use of it, and enter Tokyo in the future, this is a secret weapon." ”
Xiaolu said: "Okay. Third, we should pay attention to cultivating cadres. As a captain, you must not only manage the submarine well, but also train cadres. Now, the design of the third is out, the fourth and fifth are under construction, and in half a year, I want two qualified captains. ”
Zhang Haiyang said: "These college students on the boat are very good. ”
Xiaolu said: "I think of something." Third, haven't you graduated yet? ”
Zhang Haiyang said: "The paper has been sent to the teacher, because I have not had the opportunity to go back to school, and I have not yet defended it." The teacher has already replied, saying that the point of view is very novel. ”
Xiao Lu said: "What is the topic of the graduation thesis?" ”
Zhang Haiyang said: "On the Tactics of German Submarines and the Idea of the Construction of China's Submarine Force." ”
Xiaolu said: "The second part is a big topic, and it is not enough to write a few doctoral dissertations. ”
Zhang Haiyang said: "That's what the teacher said. That's what I thought, even if I postpone graduation, I'm going to write the second part well. ”
Xiaolu said: "Okay, great. ”
In the vast ocean, as long as the radar cannot detect the warship, the submarine does not dive. This is for the convenience of life of the submarine, but also for speeding up.
The submarine crossed the Qiongzhou Strait, and the submarine headed south, away from the near sea, then sailed eastward, and then north, heading straight for the Taiwan Strait.
In the evening, in the morning, several people brought by the trail like to take turns to the sea and enjoy the beauty of the water.
When the submarine arrived in the Taiwan Strait, wind and waves began to appear on the sea, and the weather became gloomy. In order to avoid the Japanese warships, the submarine had to dive.
