Kosuke Utada has been on the rise lately. After he sank the cruiser Fuxian Lake of the Ming Empire, he was cordially received by senior naval officers.www.biquge.info

Then he was promoted to the rank of a prominent lieutenant. With the promotion of his military rank, there is also the aura of the world's most brave submarine commander.

This made him the ace captain of the submarine force of the Great Japanese Navy, and the I-1 Type 108 submarine under his command also became the strongest submarine in the Great Japanese Empire.

Two days of heavy snow have silenced the fighting on the ground, and both sides are sending more troops, replenishing new ammunition and supplies, and striving to win the initiative in the war before the snow stops.

The two IL-1 submarines had to stop cruising due to a malfunction, left the sea area of the ambush, and returned to the port in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula for repairs.

Now the only Japanese submarine left on the surface of the sea is the I-1 submarine, that is, the No. 108 submarine commanded by Utada Daisa.

"Dazuo! Utada Daisa! "In the small submarine cabin, it is almost impossible to see each other's faces, and in the extremely dim light, everything has a thick hazy beauty.

Utada Osa stood at his workstation and opened his eyes with a hint of exhaustion. He looked at the man who had come to him, and by the sound of his voice he could tell it was the shout of the first mate on the submarine.

"The dive training mission is complete, Your Excellency! Will you allow the submarine to float up? The first mate stood behind Kosuke Utada, saluted and asked.

Utada nodded, and then spoke, "Yes, it is allowed to rise to the depth of the periscope on the surface of the sea." Then raise the periscope and keep an eye out for the coming and going sea! ”

In fact, there are very few ships in the Yellow Sea, including the West Korean Gulf. After all, this is a time of war, and there is no one who does not think about the safety of their lives.

Especially in a place like the Yellow Sea, where the two sides are still fighting for ownership and the right to belong is not yet clear - war could break out here at any time.

"The submarine began to float! Depth 10 meters, 321 ...... Reach the periscope dive depth! As the technician turned the drain valve in front of him, the sound of the report also sounded in the cabin.

Kosuke Utada raised his periscope and began to observe the sea around him. Because he was idle and bored, he ordered the soldiers to practice floating and diving every once in a while, so as to maintain the good combat effectiveness of the entire submarine.

"There are no boats, you can float." Putting away the periscope, Kosuke Utada didn't know whether to congratulate himself on his good luck or complain that he was very unlucky.

Since he sank the heavy cruiser Fuxian Lake, today is his first sea patrol. As the weather deteriorates in the north, it can be imagined that small ships of more than 450 tons are shaking on the surface of the sea.

Unfortunately, during such a shaky submarine patrol, Kosuke Utada also had to look for the shadow of the Ming Imperial fleet, which made him and his crew very irritated.

Not a single enemy ship could be found, and it was almost impossible to find the enemy's transport ships and fishing boats, it seemed that the fleet of the Ming Empire had abandoned this sea area, and many small boats responsible for patrolling had disappeared.

It seems that he is going to continue to spend such a boring day again, Kosuke Utada complained helplessly in his mind.

"Empty the seawater, and the submarine 108 begins to rise!" As the last bits of water were discharged from both sides of the submarine, the enclosure of submarine No. 108 was exposed.

This was followed by the submarine hull, which quickly slid down the sides of the narrow deck back into the sea. Because of the rough seas, the small submarine immediately swayed up and down with the waves.

"Open the hatch, the staff on duty are in place, and the non-duty staff are in a group of 5 people, and they go out to breathe! Act fast! Each group only has 5 minutes to spare! Fast! Hurry! Utada gave the order to rest, and everyone let out a deliberately suppressed cheer.

Life in a submarine is very painful, so being able to go to the deck to breathe is a rare opportunity to relax your nerves.

Climbing up the ladder and unscrewing the door on top of his head, which was about the size of a safe, a stream of icy sea water mixed with cold air immediately fell into the submarine.

The drenched soldier didn't care, because the inside of the submarine was as hot as summer, and soon his clothes would be dried and emit a desperate smell.

The five happy guys who climbed out of the submarine first, two climbed onto the deck to smoke, and the remaining three people stood guard with binoculars on the enclosure. After all, this is a dangerous sea area, and it is necessary to avoid passivity when encountering the enemy as much as possible.

Subsequently, Kosuke Utada, the captain of the ship, and his lieutenant and two of them also got out of the shell and leaned against the cold pipe to smoke.

You know, this is the prerogative of the captain and the first mate, only the two of them can smoke on the hull structure, and the others can only go to the deck below if they want to swallow the clouds.

Before this break was over, a crew member with a telescope on guard shouted loudly: "There is a situation!" There is a boat due north! There are boats! ”

When he shouted like this, he was so frightened that Kosuke Utada almost swallowed the cigarette butt in his mouth. Several people hurriedly stood up and looked due north.

Under the not-so-clear sky, there was some faint black smoke. At first glance, I knew that it was a large coal-burning ship, moving at full speed.

Extinguishing the precious cigarette and stuffing the remaining half into the pocket of his jacket, Utada immediately gave the battle order: "Dive!" Dive in! Get ready for battle, get ready for battle now! ”

In the scramble, everyone finally climbed inside the submarine, and the hatch was closed. With a period of intense busyness, the No. 108 submarine finally dived to a depth where only the periscope remained, and slowly approached the direction of the black smoke.

Because of the distance, the two sides are actually very far apart. With the speed of the No. 108 submarine, it seemed that it would be several hours before approaching the fixed course of that Ming military transport ship.

Unbeknownst to Kosuke Utada, there are 17 large transport ships loaded with various supplies, as well as 4 destroyers and 3 cruisers as escort ships.

This huge transport fleet was also not fast, barely reaching 14 knots. However, compared to Utada's current speed of less than 4 knots per hour, it is obviously much faster.
