Chapter 53: The Way Out 1

At the beginning of the lunar calendar, the dawn of October is halfway round, and after the sun sets, a faint moon shadow appears in the eastern sky, and as the night falls, the moonlight becomes brighter and brighter. Under the faint moonlight www.biquge.info the fog began to rise, and the mountains were full of low bushes, and the road running through them stretched out like a gray and white ribbon into the distance, with no end in sight. A mustache armored car, a Chevrolet sedan, and four large international cars are running on the Nanqin Highway, and what makes people strange is that it is not the armored car that opens the road but the big international, and the engine roars, no matter how sharp the bend is, this large international can always turn just right, rolling up the dust of fallen leaves.

Major General Hou Teng in the armored car was jolting and wanted to vomit, and several times he seemed to ask Du Baiqing to drive slower, but thinking that he couldn't miss the appointment, he had to swallow the gastric juice that poured up his throat several times. The same bumps, but Rear Admiral Xu Zushan of the Coastal Defense Department was much better, and his hands even beat and hummed an unknown naval march.

The car in front was like this, but the Chevrolet in the back was a different story. After all, it is a car, the car is not only bumpy, the road surface is slightly undulating and will 'dong dong' hit the chassis, the young and strong 'local guide' and driver Xie Daisheng is better, the older Xu Guangying vomited again and again, several times Xie Daisheng asked him sympathetically not to stop, Xu Guangying every time he deduced that there was a 'military order' and there was no delay. Fortunately, the car was moving very fast under the moonlight, and at about nine o'clock, the big international that opened the road finally stopped.

"What for?" Du Baiqing stopped not because he arrived, but because a checkpoint suddenly appeared on the side of the road.

"Those who pull goods carry out military affairs." Du Baiqing didn't turn off the engine, she just got out of the car.

"Official business? The front line is ahead, what official duties do you perform? A person who looked like a sentry asked in Guangxi official dialect, but at this time, someone from the armored station behind him came to drink: "Who stopped the car?" ”

Under the moonlight, the military uniform could not be distinguished, but listening to the voice and looking at the outline, the sentry commander knew the officer, and he stood up and said: "Report, today the Japanese army landed in Qisha, and the army commander ordered to search for spies along the road."

"Commander, is it Commander Xia Wei?" It was Hou Teng who got out of the car, and his steps were a little staggering, "I came from Nanning, and I have urgent military affairs to go to Jinjitang." How far is it from Jinjitang? ”

A sentence of Xia Wei made all the soldiers stand upright, and the leader said: "Report to the chief, Jinjitang is in front." ”

"Then lead the way right away, we are here to transport ammunition, you ......" Hou Teng said, not wanting the Chevrolet behind him to suddenly pull the car door, and a figure seemed to kneel on the side of the road, vomiting heavily.

The sudden appearance of a figure alerted the sentinels, but they were relieved to hear that it was vomiting. The sentry chief said, "If the sir, if you are not familiar with it at night, I can ask someone to show you the way." ”

"That's for the best." Jinjitang is on the Qinfang Highway, but even the guide from Nanning is vague in which section. Hou Teng immediately said: "Then get in the car right away, and sit in the car in front." After a short pause, the convoy began to move again. After getting in the car, Hou Teng looked at his watch again, and at 9:54, he was going to be late.

"They're late!" At Jinjitang Wharf, the U-38, which had already arrived here, had been waiting for hours. The submarine sailed into Qinzhou Bay in the afternoon, and arrived at Longmen Port, the narrowest port in the bay, at seven o'clock.

At this time, in addition to the submarine under the leadership of Su Jinghu, Jiang Jing and others, who landed yesterday, finally joined the submarine under the escort of the personnel of the 524th Regiment. In recognition of the merits of Jiang Jing and others, Li Kongrong allowed the three of them to dine at the same table (supper) with him, which was a great honor for them. When the supper was about to end, Gao Guangyou of the control cabin ran over and said that Nanning was late.

"It's late." Li Kongrong looked at his watch, the time was already a quarter past 10 o'clock, and there were still eight hours before dawn, so the hoisting of the fifteen torpedoes would be very tricky.

"Report to sir, the car is here." A loud report came into the cabin, and it was the voice of Lieutenant Liu Zhen, the officer on duty.

"Oh, good!" Li Kongrong got up, he looked at Jiang Jing and the others, who were still a little restrained, "You eat first, and rest after eating." ”

"Yes, sir." When the three of them saw that Li Kongrong was about to go to the bridge, they immediately got up and moved out of the way.

"Brother Hansheng... Brother Han Sheng ...... "Before Li Kongrong got out of the cabin, he heard Hou Teng's voice on the dock. He also walked off the bridge quickly, waved at the figure on the dock, and said, "Brother Feixia! Brother Feixia! ”

"Brother Hansheng!" Under the moonlight, Hou Teng hurried past the guards on the dock, almost jumping over the wooden trestle and rushing to the deck of the submarine. It is rare for a man in his thirties and forties to be so happy and excited, he grabbed Li Kongrong's hand and said, "Brother Han Sheng, it was really a ...... when Berlin said goodbye back then." It's really like every other day! ”

Hou Teng excitedly said all the love words, Li Kongrong laughed, and he also said loudly: "After more than two years, I can only look at the newspaper and think about the demeanor of you and Brother Guangting on the battlefield." You, Lanfeng fought the first war, and the Japanese were beaten by crying fathers and mothers, and the Japanese newspapers cried and mourned: 'Shake the mountain is easy, shake the 88 army disaster'. ”

"That's all the credit of Brother Hansheng's guidance." Hou Teng was praised by Li Kongrong and was so hot that even in winter, he wanted to jump into the water and swim freely, and then look up to the sky and howl to show his excitement.

The two big men stood on the deck of the submarine, clutching their hands, and the others could only watch them and brag and praise. Fortunately, Su Jinghu came to the bottom cup, and he coughed very uninterestingly to report the situation of the bottom bilge. "The auxiliary fuel tank is still smashed open, and there is no hidden danger if the diesel leaks out......"

"Okay." Li Kongrong didn't think about the bilge at all, he pointed to Su Jinghu and said: "This is my chief engineer, Su Jinghu, who escaped from Germany together," and then he pulled Gao Guangyou again, "This is the first mate Gao Fumin, who also escaped from Germany together, and a second officer let the Japanese plane hurt his thigh and was resting in the cabin; This is the ...... of the 524th regiment"

Seeing that Li Kongrong was busy introducing people, Hou Teng remembered that he hadn't introduced Xu Zushan who came with him, and he coughed and said: "Brother Han Sheng, I forgot to introduce, this is General Xu Zushan of the Guangxi Coastal Defense Department, and this torpedo was transferred and escorted by him." ”

"Oh......" Xu Zushan was looking at the German submarine curiously at this time. He only came over when Hou Teng introduced, Li Kongrong saluted at the same time, he also saluted, he said: "It's really a good ship, if only there were a few more." After he said that, he introduced himself again: "I am also from the navy, and I was Admiral Sa's adjutant back then...... Xu Zushan's introduction suddenly made Li Kongrong and others take a look at him, and then he said: "Chief Li, can I go into the cabin to have a look?" ”

"General Xu and all the brothers are invited to board the boat." Li Kongrong saluted solemnly again, and Liu Zhen on the bridge also blew the boat whistle.

Li Kongrong was in front, Xu Zushan was behind, and then Hou Teng and his entourage. The men climbed onto the bridge along the handrails in the enclosure and then into the control compartment from the bridge. Looking at the instrument valve of the control cabin, the group, including Xu Zushan, was all amazed, and Du Baiqing was also mixed in it, when she came, she heard Hou Teng say that this was a warship that could dive, so she followed Hou Teng in.

From the control cabin to the bow torpedo compartment, and then from the bow torpedo compartment to the stern, when he walked to the captain's room, Xu Zushan stared at the rising Japanese flag hanging on the side and was stunned, and he said for a long time: "Chief Li, this is ......."

"This is what we seized." Of course, you can't say it directly, otherwise it will be immodest, Jiang Jing, who had just finished supper, stood up and spoke very interestingly.

"Captured?!" It is not for nothing that the Navy captured the flag, but it is surprising that a submarine captured the flag of the Japanese army.

"It was indeed seized." Jiang Jing was not on the boat at the time and didn't know the details, but Li Kongrong spoke at this time. "We led a Japanese destroyer into a minefield, but the mine charge was too small and it was only damaged, and then we got close and fired a torpedo to sink it. At that time, I originally wanted to go up to the surface to catch a few Japanese prisoners, but as soon as I came up, I saw this military flag, so I pulled it out, and wasted a torpedo when I dived. ”

Li Kongrong is an understatement, but Xu Zushan, who was born in the navy, listened to the stormy waves. The submarine floats in front of the warship, which is equivalent to looking for death. He sighed, "That's why Captain Lin was injured." ”

"It's not. Captain Lin's wound was hit by a Japanese plane during the previous ascent. Li Kongrong said, "It was night, we had to float in order to save people, Captain Lin was injured in the leg as soon as he came up, but he gritted his teeth and kept silent, until the submarine dived." ”

"Remarkable! Amazing! Although Li Kongrong was talking about someone else, Xu Zushan knew very well what kind of soldiers there was to be a captain. If the captain is not brave and good at fighting, the officers and men under his command will not dare to rise at all.

"Since Brother Hansheng stole the boat and returned to China, I have admired it, who would have thought of it, who would have thought ......" Xu Zushan looked at Li Kongrong, his eyes were full of love and praise, he suddenly remembered the torpedoes that were transported, and said regretfully: "Hey." The road was bombed by Japanese planes, and there are still twelve of the fifteen torpedoes, so I'm going to delay your business. ”

Under the light, Hou Teng, Xu Zushan and others were in the dust, and seeing Xu Zushan annoyed that the torpedo was blown up, Li Kongrong smiled and said: "It's okay, I am one thunder for one ship, twelve torpedoes sank twelve Japanese transport ships, enough for them to cry wolf." ”

"It's better to sink one more aircraft carrier." Hou Teng also smiled, "Whether it's marching or fighting, the attack of the plane is the most annoying." ”

"It's easy to sink troop carriers, but now there are a lot of them off the coast of Qinzhou, and they are afraid that we will hear movement underwater, so they don't dare to open the ship at all, so they can only let us fight. Aircraft carriers, then it depends on luck. Li Kongrong saw that a few people didn't seem to have any intention of continuing the visit, so he invited them to sit down and drink tea, and then asked Su Jinghu to immediately hoist the torpedo.

Smoking American cigarettes and eating American candy, at this time Hou Teng remembered the gift that Du Yuming asked him to bring on this trip, and he immediately asked Du Baiqing to get it, and after a while, several soldiers brought in some local products.

"There's really nothing to give, just thirty Xuanwei hams, two cases of German beer, and ......" Hou Teng knew that Li Kongrong didn't care about property, gold and silver, so he downplayed these local products, and then emphasized: "It's all bought with the salary of the chief, and the beer is given by Qiu Yu'an, he likes German beer the most, and when he heard that you came, he cut his love ......"

"Qiu Yu'an?" Li Kongrong smiled, "I know, Qiu Qingquan, Qiu Crazy, Mom is a." Ha ha. ”

He scolded Qiu Qingquan according to his own imagination, only to make everyone present laugh. "I want to receive Brother Guangting's gift, but since it was given to me, it will be distributed by me. This ham ......" Li Kongrong looked at Li Minchang, deputy of the 524th Regiment, "Let's give half to the 524th Regiment, the army eats less meat, and yesterday was a hard battle, so I had a good meal; Beer is also divided into one case. It's not enough to ...... one person."

"This ...... Not well, Mr. Lee. "After the U-38 entered the bay, it had already unloaded a lot of things in Longmen Port, in addition to the last batch of machine gun ammunition, there were also a lot of canned American beef, cigarettes and medicines, and now Li Kongrong also gave half of the gifts given by Commander Du and others of the 88th Army to the 524th Regiment, which only made him, a major of the Gui Army, restless.

"Nothing bad. In Qinzhou Bay, we fought together to resist the enemy, and we fought them in the sea and cried wolf, and you beat them on the shore so that their flesh and blood flew everywhere, and they didn't dare to get up for a day when they lay on the beachhead, so I Li Hansheng looked up to you. In that case, why can't the benefits be shared together? Brother Guangting and Madman Qiu are also brave and brave people, and last year they killed the Japanese so that they couldn't even distinguish between the south, east, and west, and they would definitely be happy to know this. Why? Because you don't spoil this Sherwin-Williams ham and German beer. Li Kongrong's confidant's words said that Li Minchang wanted to cry, and Hou Teng and Xu Zushan also praised Li Kongrong for saying well.

The atmosphere in the captain's room became more and more lively, and when Li Kongrong was about to talk to Hou Teng about the war in Guinan, Su Jinghu walked in, and he said with some annoyance: "Han Sheng, don't let us hang the torpedo?" ”

"What's going on?" Li Kongrong was stunned, Xu Zushan smiled awkwardly, and said, "It's just a formality, it's just a procedure." ”

"It's a formality, saying that the torpedo is too valuable, and I want you to sign it yourself." Su Jinghu added that he couldn't figure out what kind of procedures Li Kongrong had to sign in person.

"After all, it's not our own torpedo, so I'll sign it and use it." Li Kongrong didn't think much about it, he felt that the twelve torpedoes were worth a lot, and it was already good that people were willing to give them, and they took the risk to transport them.

With Su Jinghu, Xu Zushan, Hou Teng and others, they walked out of the submarine quickly and came to a tiled house by the ferry. Taking out the pen, he neatly signed the word 'Li Kongrong' in the recipient column, and after writing, he felt that the writing seemed too sloppy, he smiled and signaled whether to re-sign it, Xu Guangying, who was blue but serious, looked at him carefully, shook his head and said, "No need, Chief Li Hansheng." As soon as he finished saying this, two plainclothes standing behind Li Kongrong forced up from both sides, blocking his retreat. (To be continued.) )
