"The bow rudder is five, the tail rudder is five...... and it is set. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Su Jinghu wiped his sweat heavily after stabilizing the bow and stern rudder, and he finally looked at Li Kongrong, "German goods are strong, otherwise we will be miserable." ”

The meaning of praising the sturdiness of German goods is self-explanatory. As for Li Kongronglai's action just now, he risked being sunk to float, and wasted a torpedo, so that he only exchanged for a Japanese naval flag, whether it was worth it really needed to be considered, but Li Kongrong never knew what he regretted, he smiled and said: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, who can say what is going on on the battlefield?" ”

As he spoke, there was another 'quacking, quacking, creaking' sound from the bulkhead, and the submarine was making its way through the minefield, approaching the other side of the minefield. The sound of the mooring cord scraping against the wall of the boat was like a sharp blade cutting through the naked body, which was very uncomfortable, but the crew was all immersed in the carnival of the sinking ship and capturing the flag, and their military songs were sung louder and louder, filling everyone's eardrums. “…… Thunder cracked cannon, and the murderer is willing to focus together, if you want to live, you are not a hero, and if you want to live, you are not a hero. Q: Who can escape when the deadline comes? The big husband is lying on the waves, and the big husband is lying on the waves, and he has won the world's top ......"

"These boys!" Li Kongrong smiled wryly while delighting, and he said to Gao Guangyou, 'I'll leave it to you here,' and strode towards the front cabin—he also wanted to see the navy's Rising Sun flag.

"Stand up!" When Li Kongrong passed through the officer's cabin, the crew saluted him upright, and when he heard the sound of saluting, the singing of the captain's cabin, the noncommissioned officer's cabin, and the sailor's cabin in front of him all stopped. The crew handed the Rising Sun flag back to the boatswain Xue Kuiguang, and finally uploaded it from Xue Kuiguang's hand to Chen Zaihe's hand, under the instigation of everyone, Chen Zaihe was walking towards Li Kongrong with the flag, he first saluted solemnly, and then raised the flag and said loudly: "Chen Zaihe presents the flag to the chief in the eighth phase of the navigation class of Mawei Sea School!" ”

Seeing that everyone was serious and solemn, Li Kongrong felt a little funny. According to the regulations of the Japanese Navy, the size of the military flag is only three, that is, two meters, while the cruiser has four, the battleship has Rokfuku, and the memorial and parade ship is eight.

Very calmly took the Rising Sun Flag, Li Kongrong nodded to everyone and talked eloquently: "After the Beiyang Naval Division was formed into an army, pinching the Japanese to death with Dingzhen and Bada Yuan was as simple as pinching an ant to death. It's a pity that even with such a good excuse as Nagasaki, Li Hongzhang and Ding Ruchang still shrank their eggs, and then watched the Japanese Navy grow little by little, surpassing themselves in tonnage, and finally died and the army was wiped out.

Did Ding Ruchang regret not firing the cannon before he died? We don't know, but what we know is that if we don't nip a potential enemy in our sphere of influence in the bud, we will definitely suffer in the end; In order to protect the ship, it becomes an existing fleet, and the final result is often the total annihilation. The latter lesson continues to the present: two years ago, when China and Japan went to war, Pinghai, which retreated westward to protect itself, and Ninghai, which broke diplomatic relations with the sea, have also verified this lesson. Of course, if Pinghai also went overseas to break diplomatic relations, whether it and Ninghai could be surprised is another matter, but many times we can't just see the record of the record, the tradition that is more important than the record.

The Navy is a branch of the army that is completely easy to use, and there is a saying that it is called the Centennial Navy. It is not that it must take 100 years to build a navy, but that without the efforts of several generations, the navy cannot really become an army; This is also not to say that you can become a real navy after a hundred years in a military port. The navy is a service that needs tradition, but tradition is not something that can be had. Countless and countless drills and actual battles can be compiled into a little bit of regulations; Countless and countless regulations can form a little habit; It takes countless and countless habits to develop a little bit of tradition. A navy that lacks tradition, no matter how advanced its ships are, is just a rabble, they dare not see the enemy in battle, and they never take the initiative to attack.

Looking back at the incident in Nagasaki, Luang Weili suggested firing the cannon, but Admiral Ding Ruchang vetoed it. What's the difference? Poor is exactly the tradition of the Navy. In rebuilding the fleet, in addition to building ships and buying planes, one more important thing is to cultivate the tradition of the navy, without which aircraft carriers will be of no use. The navy has always been offensive, and if a fleet does not dare to actively attack, how is that different from an armed merchant ship that only seeks to protect itself?

Cultivating tradition is a difficult thing to do, and it takes the effort of each and every one of us. Today's events and past events, let's think about and discuss them in the future, and see what is right and what is wrong. ”

Li Kongrong wanted to elaborate on what the tradition of the Navy was, but Lu Ruping from the control cabin came over, although he did not speak, there was anxiety in his expression, and seeing this, he had to hastily end the rare conversation and return to the control cabin.

"What's going on?" Li Kongrong asked on the way.

"Report to the chief, the observation post on the shore said that the Japanese may have to clear mines." Lu Ruping reported on the situation.

"Demining? They ...... "Li Kongrong was taken aback, the demining is not for landing, but to dismantle the mine barrier covering the submarine, and now the auxiliary fuel tank of the submarine is leaking oil, and once there is no mine barrier, the consequences will be unimaginable." "Did the Japanese land?"

"The Daihatsu boat on the other side of the boat group has departed, and the Japanese are landing." Lu Ruping said. "The minesweepers that used to be on the Qisha side are now heading in our direction."

While speaking, the two of them had already walked to the control cabin, and Su Jinghu was discussing the oil leakage from the auxiliary fuel tank with Gao Guangyou and Chen Ergong, the diesel engine sergeant major. The entire U-38 was fully loaded with 154 tons of diesel, but these 154 tons of diesel fuel were not all in one compartment, and there were many auxiliary fuel tanks at the bottom of the ship, one of which was hit by shrapnel just now. The leakage of diesel fuel is not a big problem, the problem is because the breach is not big, and the diesel leaks a little bit, which exposes the whereabouts of the submarine. The minesweepers are all small boats, and it is absolutely not cost-effective to hit these small boats with torpedoes, and besides, there are only three torpedoes left, and they can't hit them if they want to. Once the minefield was non-existent, depth charges would follow, and the U-38 would likely be sunk by the Japanese in this shallow sea.

"Let's talk about countermeasures." Li Kongrong looked at Su Jinghu and a few, he believed that they had already taken a countermeasure.

"Send someone out." Gao Guangyou said, "Plug it first, and if you can't block it, make the breach bigger, so that the speed of diesel leakage will be accelerated." ”

"Send someone out?" The method that several people came up with was unexpected by Li Kongrong, but it was effective: it was not easy to plug the leak outside the cabin, and since it couldn't be blocked, it simply leaked all at once.

"That's the only way?" Li Kongrong thought about the way out of the cabin, it was convenient for the torpedo tubes to go out, but it was difficult to get in, which required everyone's cooperation.

"It's the best way to go." Su Jinghu said, "There is no oil pump in the submarine to pump diesel from one cabin to another, if there is, just pump out this cabin." ”

"But how do you make the breach bigger?" Li Kongrong asked again. "The torpedo tube is so small, what can you take out?"

"Plug it first, and if it can't be blocked, then find a way to expand the breach." Su Jinghu looked at Li Kongrong, "While the enemy ship is still outside the minefield, we can float to the periscope depth, and it is not difficult for people to go out and enter at this depth." The most important thing is to send one out to see the situation first, especially to check the breach, to see if it can be plugged. ”

"Well, who to send?" Li Kongrong finally asked.

"I'll go!" Gao Guangyou said, "Everyone else has no experience, so it's most appropriate for me to go." ”

"You ......" Li Kongrong smiled, and finally nodded: "Okay, I agree." ”

"Then I'll prepare." Gao Guangyou was indifferent to Li Kongrong's smile, and went back to the cabin to change clothes very seriously. As soon as he left Sujinghu, he said: "Fumin is out of the way this time, and he doesn't want to be looked at differently." ”

"That's the power of tradition." Li Kongrong thought about his hastily concluded ideological education, and nodded heavily.

"Float up to periscope depth." A few minutes later, Gao Guangyou was ready, and the submarine began to float. Later, under the watchful eyes of the crew, he strode to the bow torpedo compartment with his scuba and climbed into the torpedo tube with a calm face, while the Japanese mine-sweeping team on the sea was detonating the first mine.

The mines on the surface of the sea exploded one after another, and the seconds of the control cabin turned round and round, and after about thirty minutes, there was a scheduled knocking sound from outside the boat, and after the torpedo tube closed and the pipe door opened, Gao Guangyou fell to the deck with the seawater. Li Kongrong helped him up a few times and said, "What's the situation?" ”

"The shrapnel is caught in the bulkhead, and the breach is not big, so it should be able to be plugged." Gao Guangyou took off the respirator and said.

"What tools do you need?" There were explosions on the sea, and the most anxious was Sujing Lake.

"Big tongs, plugging blankets, screw hooks, cork ......" Gao Guangyou thought back to the hole outside the boat, and said what he needed.

"You arrange it right away." Li Kongrong motioned to Su Jinghu to immediately follow Gao Guangyou's intentions, "Especially the wood, it is best to cut it in the cabin, it is inconvenient outside the cabin." ”

"Understood, understood." Su Jinghu had already prepared a plugging blanket and a screw hook, and there was also wood, but it still had to be cut into a suitable shape, and he immediately assigned tasks to the crew, preparing to get out of the cabin as soon as possible.

Everyone was busy, and Li Kongrong was bored and had to go back to the control cabin to inquire about the news on the sea, and at this time the observation posts on the shore were useless, and he could only rely on hydrophones to listen to the progress of the Japanese minesweeping team.

"Sir, this one has opened a gap." The mine distribution map was marked by Lin Lianfan, and now that the Japanese have cleared the mines, he knows it clearly, and Li Kongrong did not count how many mines on the sea surface have been detonated, and suddenly saw Lin Lianfan's marked map, and he gasped hard: In just over 30 minutes, one-fifth of the mines were gone.

"Is there a mistake?!" He glared at Lin Lianfan and asked, his mouth wide open, not knowing whether to eat the marker map or Lin Lianfan.

"Report sir, no mistake." Lin Lianfan did not look at Li Kongrong, but only looked at the map of the mine marking. "If the Japanese guessed that the thunderstorm was just one circle outside, and then a third of them would have been able to make the destroyer drop a deep bomb. As long as the destroyer is at full speed and constantly changing direction, we may not be able to hit. ”

"It's not that bad." Li Kongrong disagreed with him. He didn't believe that the Japanese would dare to approach him so riskily, even if the fuel leaking from the submarine revealed his whereabouts.

"You continue to listen and report any situation immediately." Li Kongrong said no, but the person walked to the bow of the boat.

"Your Excellency, we can sink it in an hour at most." Once again, I received a flag from the minesweeping team, and on the Torikai, Yamaguchi's stiff face finally showed a slight smile - the submarine in China was broken, and at this time it was leaking oil, and there was no better news than this.

"Sink without fail!" Yamaguchi smiled when he heard it, but Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro's face was still pale. It is a great shame that the flag of the Navy is taken away, even if it is just a destroyer. The only way to save face was to sink the submarine, and to do so without fail—at least to get the Army to admit it, or they would be going to spread the word about it at home.

"Hay!" Yamaguchi nodded heavily, wishing he was on the minesweeper himself. At this time, the first batch of the army's land brigade troops had already taken the big hair boat to the land in the rough waves, and the Chinese army on the beachhead had no resistance, and this time the land was obviously successful.

"Commander, the devil is here." Outside Qisha Town, looking at the dense Japanese troops on the beachhead, Li Minchang, deputy of the 524th Regiment, looked at Chao Wei, who was quiet, waiting for him to give the order to fire. Last night, the whole regiment added ten machine guns, which was really a good opportunity to kill the enemy.

Chao Wei has been watching the Japanese who have landed, they have come down from the motor boats one by one, wading ashore with plaster flags, he has long wanted to fight. "More more." He said, "What about the navy, why don't you see any movement?" ”

Because of the perspective, Chao Wei did not see the U-38 floating up, but saw two Japanese ships suddenly explode, one was injured, and the other sank directly, which greatly boosted the morale of the defenders, which showed that they were not alone.

"I don't see it." Li Minchang looked for it in the telescope and said regretfully. "They're not going to be sunk. Just now, so many warships opened fire, and the water column exploded so high......"

"Bad luck!" Chao Wei snorted, "People can hide in the sea, but the Japanese can't beat it." He threw away the cigarette butt and said, "Throw his mother, fire!" ”

"Lose his mother! Fire! "The telephone from the regiment headquarters to the front line has always been connected, and as soon as Chaowei 'lost his mother' on this side, the beachhead heard the order. The battalion headquarters passed to the company headquarters, and the company headquarters passed to the machine gun bunker, and after more than ten seconds, the position hidden on the beachhead suddenly opened fire, and the red-hot fire chain fired by the MG34 general-purpose machine gun rolled towards the Japanese troops who had just landed unexpectedly, and the beachhead was full of killings.

"Sir, fire is on the shore." Lu Ruping faithfully reported the situation on the shore to Li Kongrong.

"Hmm......" Li Kongrong frowned, his eyes kept staring at the ship's bell. He had no intention of thinking about what was going on ashore - after only thirty minutes, more than twenty more mines were detonated, and the situation became more and more dangerous.

"Let's play a game of chess." In the anxiety, Su Jinghu was restless, what did he have to do to divert the pressure.

"No, no." Li Kongrong stood up, he didn't like to force his composure. "I'll go out and have a look." (To be continued.) )
