A truly great, proud, and courageous people would rather face any of the scourge of war than sacrifice its national dignity for humble prosperity. "Su Tong's Memoirs Volume 1 Chapter 3 The fog on the sea at Naha in the Ryukyu Islands has not yet dissipated at 7 o'clock in the morning, the thick clouds and mist have blocked the sun, and the slightly undulating waves have shaken the R-class submarine with the number Q-223 slightly, and the surroundings are very quiet, and only the dull sound of the faint diesel engine running at low speed and the gentle lapping of the waves against the side of the ship can be heard.

Jiaming stood on the conning tower, holding a telescope and kept observing around, he had just graduated from the Vladivostok Submarine Command College less than two years ago, he should have only stayed in a certain submarine and wore the rank of lieutenant as a chief engineer or deputy captain, but due to the shortage of captains in the submarine force, Liu Jiaming was able to be promoted to the rank of captain and got a brand-new submarine that had just left the factory for less than a month.

Since the beginning of the Taiwan takeover plan, the Navy's submarine forces have frequently operated around the Ryukyu Islands, harassing all warships or ships traveling between Japan and Taiwan, but this time it was the turn of the Q-233 submarine to go to sea for cruise.

Xia's submarine force started earlier than other surface ships, and up to now, the Chinese Navy has more than 200 submarines, of which more than half are R-class ocean-going submarines, and the rest are IXB-type submarines purchased from Germany earlier. Although the number of submarines of more than 200 seems to be a lot, the number of submarines of more than 200 submarines is very small when they are scattered into the vast Pacific Ocean and the southeast China Sea. But fortunately, the combat manual stipulates that a submarine can be operated for two to three weeks, so it can cope with it at present.

The submarine Q-223 has been out at sea for a week, but so far his record is still zero. Over the past week, Japanese ships have disappeared as if en masse, almost without a trace.

Captain, the sonar room reports that three ships of unknown nationality are heading towards us in the northeast direction! The voice of the deputy captain Lin Xiang came from the cabin, this is a very experienced deputy captain who has been promoted from an ordinary submariner, but it is a pity that the cultural level is a little lower, otherwise he would have been promoted to captain a long time ago.

Soon the submarine sounded the alarm for an emergency dive, and the red lights in the boat began to light up.

Bang Dang! When the last officer on duty jumped into the cabin and turned the valve to tighten the lid of the submarine, Liu Jiaming was already standing in the periscope position.

Dive to a depth of thirty meters and raise the periscope! Everyone is in place! As a series of orders were issued, the submarine soon entered a strange pre-battle atmosphere, and the submarine suddenly became silent, except for the sound of heavy breathing from time to time. Although the submarine crews are just as inexperienced as their captains, this does not hinder their confidence in their own captains and their pursuit of victory.

The periscope has risen! ”

Good! Liu Jiaming pulled his hat diagonally to the side, and put his eyes in front of the lowered periscope to see, the sea surface was still gray, and the visibility was not very high, only about four or five thousand meters.

Jia Ming frowned and asked, "Sonar room, can you clearly hear what type of ship it is?" ”

Report to the captain, I only heard that one of them was a large ship of 10,000 tons, and the other was estimated to be about 6,000 tons, and there was also a destroyer that was very fast, but the type was unknown, and they were currently ten kilometers away from us. The sonar soldier on the side replied quickly.

Well, we've finally waited for a lone fleet of ships, and we'll be left to slaughter the two remaining ships as long as we take out the destroyer. Thinking of this, Liu Jiaming took a breath and ordered in a deep voice: "Open the bow torpedo tube immediately." ”

Liu Jiaming, who was holding the periscope handle, gave the order as calmly as possible, and the palms of his hands holding the handle were already oozing sweat. It's not a fear, it's a high degree of tension and jī movement. This was his first cruise since he became captain, and he must not return empty-handed.

The torpedo tubes have been opened! "Soon, the torpedo compartment heard the report of the torpedo chief.

Attention everybody, now in front of us there is a convoy of two cruise ships and a destroyer, which are less than ten nautical miles away from us, and as long as we sink them, the members of our submarine will no longer have to look at the ace with envy, because we have also become the trump card! Liu Jiaming's slightly trembling voice reached everyone's ears through the microphone, and the submariners in the boat did not speak, but they all straightened up, and they were more concentrated on their work.

Sir, now the enemy destroyer is still six thousand meters away from our submarine and can already be observed from the periscope. Lin Xiang, the deputy captain on the side, reported in Mandarin with a thick Hokkien accent. He was born in a fisherman's family in Fujian, and he joined the Huaxia Navy five years ago, but because of his slightly lower education level, he was only a deputy captain after five years, and his tone at this time also carried a trace of nervousness and excitement, "The destroyer ahead is 012 in azimuth, 5966 at a distance, and 30 degrees in the target angle. ”

The crew quickly pulled the crank to input the data into the computer, and soon the computer gave the answer and calculated that the destroyer's speed was 35 knots. This was a very fast speed, which the Japanese warships generally did not reach.

It must have been the Tidal class destroyers of the Japanese. As soon as he heard the data reported by the calculator, Liu Jiaming knew in his heart the model of the destroyer coming from the opposite side, and no warship in Japan could run so fast except for this destroyer. Although this warship has a displacement of only 1,000 and 30 tons, it is equipped with three 120 mm guns and two deep-water bomb launchers, and with its fast speed, the Chinese Navy has already suffered several submarines in its hands, after all, it is Japan's first destroyer specially designed for anti-submarine purposes.

The distance is three thousand meters, the azimuth is 012, and it is deflected to the port side! ”

Torpedo No. 1 put! ”

At Liu Jiaming's order, the torpedo chief in the torpedo compartment in the bow immediately pressed the launch button, and with a muffled "bang", a heavy electric torpedo of 533 mm caliber slammed out of the torpedo tube under the pressure of the pressure, and the crew in the boat only felt a slight shake on the deck under their feet under the strong reaction force.

Xiang pinched the stopwatch in his hand and counted the time, this torpedo is purely to try his luck, if you can hit the enemy ship at this distance and angle, congratulations on you can even make you méng, you can go to buy a lottery ticket after you go ashore.

Sho reported, "Captain, the torpedo tail has deviated to the starboard side of the enemy ship and has deviated from the target. ”

After a while, a dull explosion was heard in front of it, which was the result of the self-detonation program initiated after the torpedo lost its target.

Bastard! Although he had already expected the result, Liu Jiaming couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Not good, the enemy ship has spotted us, and it is speeding towards us. The sonar soldier's voice rang out.

Everyone's eyes turned to Liu Jiaming, the captain is God when performing the mission, and every decision the captain makes will be related to the life and death of this submarine. At this time, there seemed to be only two ways in front of Liu Jiaming, one was to quickly dive to the maximum value of the submarine and prepare to escape, let the Japanese destroyers keep pouring bombs on him with deep-water bombs, and leave his fate to God to decide. The other way is to fight to the death with this destroyer. But no matter what decision is made, Liu Jiaming will make a choice as soon as possible, and at this time it is already a matter of life and death, and he cannot continue to think about it.

Sir, the enemy ship is still a thousand meters away from our ship. Lin Xiang's Mandarin full of Hokkien accent came to his ears again.

He ***, fight! "Time is running out, and if the destroyer gets closer, there will be no chance to launch a torpedo, and even if a torpedo is fired, it will lose its effect because the safety bolt will not have time to open. Liu Jiaming didn't think much about it, turned his head and ordered in a deep voice: "The bow torpedo is ready, the target position is redetermined, and the torpedo is ready to be launched!" ”

Goal determination complete! ”

Torpedo No. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 launches! ”

The consequence of the five torpedoes firing in unison was that the submarine of more than 1,400 tons was pushed back by the strong reaction force, and the entire submarine was shaken strongly.

Hurry up and dive fast! ”

The submarine that fires the torpedo is not capable of self-preservation, and the only thing it can do in the face of the destroyer is to quickly turn around and run away, but at such a close distance, even the most optimistic person would not dare to assert that it will escape.

Liu Jiaming only felt that his heart was beating very violently, almost jumping out of his mouth, as if a huge pressure was pressing him out of breath, and his face was also flushed strangely because of excessive tension. Strangely, a phrase from Hamlet suddenly appeared in his blank mind at this time, "To live or to perish, that's a question!" ”

The distance between the destroyer and the submarine was already very close, and the officers and men in the submarine seemed to hear the "creaking" sound of the destroyer's propeller when it rotated at high speed.

A dull loud bang came from a short distance behind. The huge impact shook the entire submarine violently, and several soldiers were caught off guard and fell to the ground.

There was silence in the submarine for a while, and then an earth-shattering cry suddenly erupted, "It's hit, that dog-destroyer has been hit by us!" There was a cheer in the submarine, and even Lin Xiang, who was originally blue-faced, was so excited that he hugged Liu Jiaming tightly at this time, and the officers and soldiers in the submarine were celebrating their escape from death in this way, and at the same time, they were also celebrating the first victory of the submarine that had been launched for less than a month.

Raise the periscope! ”

In the inaudible sound, the periscope was raised, Liu Jiaming hurriedly put his eyes on it, and what appeared in front of him at this time was a ship with a raging fire slowly sinking on the sea, and his tail had been blown away by a heavy torpedo, and now even the arrival of the Sea Dragon King could not save their doomed fate.

Sir, the devil's freighter is coming! At this time, the sonar soldier who was listening intently hurriedly reported.

I see it! Liu Jiaming, who was lying in front of the periscope, said hatefully: "Dogs, immediately float up and rush over to sink them!" The torpedo compartment was immediately reloaded with torpedoes. ”

Be! Kill these shit pieces! The officers and men of the torpedo compartment were excited and immediately took action, as if they wanted to avenge the fact that they had just been chased by the destroyer, and the speed at which they loaded the torpedo this time was much shorter than the usual training speed.

Report to the sir, all torpedoes are loaded! ”

Jiaming's "Okay, calculate the bearing, set the fixed depth, the two ships in front of each have two torpedoes, open the torpedo tubes and prepare to fire!" ”

Bang bang "With a dull thud, four torpedoes were fired.

Quickly, there were several dull noises ahead, "Four torpedoes hit three shots, the small cargo ship broke into two and sank on the spot, and the tail of the big cruise ship was also blown open except for a big hole in the middle, and it is now slowly sinking." ”

Jiaming left the periscope and ordered: "Put away the periscope and float immediately!" All but the officers on duty took up arms and went to the deck! ”

There was a muffled sound, and at the same time as the hatch of the submarine was opened, a fresh air with the smell of the sea poured into everyone's nostrils. At this time, the fog has dissipated, the golden sun shines on the water droplets, and at the same time as the submarine floats to the surface, the diesel engine also begins to work, and the monotonous sound on weekdays seems so pleasant to Liu Jiaming's ears at this time.

The R-class submarine was also equipped with a rapid-fire gun of 37 caliber in the bow, and when the officers and men rushed to the deck, two gunners immediately ran to the gun position. A gunner "swooped" and opened his gun jacket and began to get busy.

Not far away, the freighter with billowing smoke was fully tilted at this time, and the bottom of the black sè had turned out of the water. The piercing sirens on the cruise ship were still sounding, and countless yelling people in life jackets were crawling over the side of the board and down the climbing nets on the side of the ship. A mile or two away from the freighter, the foredeck of the destroyer was still floating on the water, and some vague figures were clinging to the deck in almost despair. Overcrowded lifeboats floated haphazardly on the nearby sea-

As 223 slowly sailed past the huge 10,000-ton cruise ship, a scene like the end of the world appeared in front of them. The cruise ship is desperately spitting out the soldiers it carries. Thousands of Japanese soldiers were crammed with lifeboats, survival buoys, rafts, and everything else that could float. There were also countless soldiers running desperately around the deck, jumping down the net and rope ladder into the sea.

My goodness, how many people did these little Japan stuff into this boat, I don't think there are 10,000 people here but 8,000, do those people in the Japanese military department have brains? Putting down the binoculars, Liu Jiaming's mouth was like a yawning hippopotamus.

Sir, can you expect kindness from the top of Japan? They only want to be able to transport the soldiers to Taiwan, so they don't care about the lives of the soldiers? Lin Xiang on the side snorted disdainfully.

The submarine approached, and dozens of soldiers and officers on the deck were on strict guard with their guns, when a burst of gunfire came from not far away. Liu Jiaming turned his head and saw that several Japanese soldiers on a lifeboat more than 300 meters away were shooting at this place, but fortunately, they all lost their accuracy on the bumpy sea, otherwise someone might have been hit.

These brutes! Liu Jiaming only felt that a nameless fire was surging up his head, originally let them fend for themselves, but he didn't expect them to find death by themselves, so don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless.

Jiaming shouted loudly: "No. 1 gun position, sink those lifeboats and rafts for Lao Tzu!" ”

Knock knock knock"

The muffled sound of the Qigaoping dual-purpose rapid-fire cannon began to echo on the deck, and the sharp shells continued to fall on those lifeboats and rafts, and the lifeboats quickly disappeared into the sea at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and the bright red faces continued to stain the surrounding sea water.

Bastards, what are you doing in a daze, all you have in your hands are burning sticks, hit me, and all those who can move will be killed by Lao Tzu! Liu Jiaming waited for the soldiers around him and scolded viciously.

Oh," everyone who had just woken up from a dream pulled the trigger one after another, and the bullets from the "ant-type" rushing rifle in their hands swept towards the Japanese soldiers who were still struggling in the water like splashing water.

At that time, Liu Jiaming picked up the communicator and ordered loudly to the command room below, "Move slowly around these devils, give Lao Tzu all the guns that can be handled, and no one will stop until all the bullets are finished!" ”

Under Liu Jiaming's order, the sea with a radius of more than 1,000 meters was full of floating corpses, some of which had become slightly reddened in the originally blue sea, and dozens of sharks swam from afar attracted by the smell of blood, and they were happily biting the corpses in the bloody water.

The sound continued, Lin Xiang was already a little soft at this time, and he couldn't bear to say to Liu Jiaming, "Sir, forget it, I've killed enough." ”

Well! Liu Jiaming's eyes were already red, and he stared at the red eyes and said, "What is enough?" When the little devil killed our people in Lushun, he didn't say that he had killed enough. And what do you think these devils are going to Taiwan for, do you still want to intercede for them? Keep killing Lao Tzu! ”

The massacre lasted from morning to noon, and when the Japanese rescue fleet arrived, a Brigade of more than 8,000 people who had gone to Taiwan for reinforcements disappeared into the waters of the Ryukyu Islands, leaving only a dozen well-fed sharks swimming on the surface.
