Chapter 384: Urgent Dive

After several hours of fierce fighting, the Japanese task force returned to the port of Aotsu, where they were to make a simple repair to the damaged ship.

The sky was getting dark, the sky was cloudy, there was no moon or stars, the sea was dark, only the lights of the ships of the task force swept over the sea from time to time.

At this time, under the sea surface 30 meters away from the road that the task force must pass through for more than 30 kilometers, there was a small wolf pack composed of four fleets, and they were the Seventh Theater Submarine Group led by Long Yu.

Under the dim light of a submarine numbered Q0001, Long Yuzheng analyzed the battle situation and the losses of the Japanese army sent by the base at noon today.

"The trombone has been destroyed, the Kotaka is gone, hehe, even the Kaga has been torpedoed, and now their speed must not be fast, I guess they will come here tonight, hehe"

Hearing Long Yu's laughter, Mu Yu on the side was rarely silent, but there was a rare bloodthirsty look in his eyes

Slowly putting away the telegram, Long Yu slowly ordered: "Order a ship to lurk around this channel, we have work to do!" ”

A large task force was slowly heading towards the port of Aotsu, and because the 'Kaga' and several destroyers were wounded, the speed of the ship naturally slowed down, and the speed of the entire fleet could only reach eleven knots.

At this time, dozens of sailors on the 'Kaga' were tightening up to block the entrance in the hangar. The captain of the Kaga, Yamada Rishishiosa, was anxious as he watched the ship's damage management sailors rushing to repair the ship.

Today's major war has completely depleted the carrier-based fighters of the 'Kaga,' and now there is not a single fighter on the 'Kaga' and 'Akagi' that can be used in air combat, and the remaining dozens of ship-bombing planes cannot protect the safety of the aircraft carrier, and the consequences of another air attack will be unimaginable.

"Your Excellency, Commander Yamamoto sent a telegram asking us to change formation, and the smoke of the 'Kaga' blocked the view of the other ships, allowing us to drive behind the line." A staff officer rushed to report.

"Yes, got it! Ordered the ships to slow down to the tail of the fleet. Yamada nodded.

"Hello!" The staff officer bowed and strode away.

Yamamoto Isoroku originally just asked the "Kaga", which was still smoking, to move back so that his smoke would not affect the sight of the entire fleet, but he did not expect that the aircraft carrier that was separated from the protection of frigates, destroyers, cruisers and other ships was too vulnerable.

"Your Excellency, the Kaga is a cause for concern in terms of safety at the back of the fleet." Ugaki looked at the Kaga, which was gradually falling behind his fleet, and felt worried.

"Nothing? At present, the people of China do not have submarines, and they can't help the 'Kaga' with their few small sampans. Yamamoto waved his hand unhappily and said nonchalantly.

Since the submarine brigade of Long Yu and others only secretly sailed a few times in the Sea of Japan and North Korean waters after returning from Germany, and did not deal with Japanese warships, the Japanese army did not know that the navy of the Seventh Theater already possessed the most advanced submarine in the world. It was Yamamoto 56 who was so relieved to put the 'Kaga' at the back of the line.

"Emptying the plug valve, the longitudinal rudder maneuver valve...... Regulator ......" The torpedo chief on the side was still training several of his subordinates.

Listening calmly to the roar of the engines coming from inside the submarine, the submarine with the number of 0001 was dragging out an obvious trail behind the periscope that was a foot and a half above the water. But this trail is obscured by night, and night is always the best master of disguise.

The 0001 boat and the remaining three submarines were part of the German-built Type IB submarines, with a combat depth of 100 meters, a maximum depth of 200 meters, and six torpedo tubes (four in the bow and two in the stern) installed below the waterline, capable of carrying a total of 22 torpedoes. With a surface displacement of 1,051 tons, an underwater displacement of 1,141 tons, and a surface range of 12,000 nautical miles, this type of boat is a fierce underwater killer.

The cabin of the submarine is cramped, crowded and stuffy, the air is also very dirty, and the smell of people and various equipment and instruments makes people dizzy. Even the conning tower was no exception, but at this time, Long Yu didn't care about this, and at this moment his eyes were firmly attached to the periscope to observe the movement on the sea.

"Be careful to keep your periscope dragging too high! Keep sailing for 5 knots! Mu Yu's voice came from the side.

At this moment, Mu Yu no longer has the verbosity of the past, and he is gathering jīng to take the place of Long Yu to direct the work in the boat.

"Smack!" With a bang, Long Yu closed the handle of the periscope, and looked back at the scene where everyone in the boat was working silently, as if he smelled the turbid air in the boat, and said: "The ship floats!" One-third power! ”

"Understand, the water tank drains and floats, one-third of the power!" The crew next to him repeated the captain's orders.

Immediately the compressed air in the boat began to be released, and the drainage tank began to drain.

"Wow"

On the calm sea, a swarthy submarine surfaced, and after the hatch on the boat was opened, a fresh and sea-smelling air blew into the submarine, making the sailors in the submarine feel much easier to breathe for a while.

Long Yu turned his head to Mu Yu on the side and said with a smile: "Let's go, go to the top of the cigarette." ”

The two came to the bridge one after the other, Long Yu scattered a cigarette for Mu Yu and lit it for both of them, and asked with a smile, "How is it?" Nervous, right? ”

Mu Yu stuffed the cigarette into his mouth and took a hard puff, before he said in a sullen voice: "The first time I participated in the actual battle, the bastard is not nervous, you kid may be playing the drum in his heart now, don't laugh at the second boss, the two of us don't know who is who!" But you kid is lucky, now it's all mixed up to two or three, and I'm only two or one! ”

Long Yu took a long puff of cigarette, "I'm just lucky, but I heard that Chief Su is going to equip our submarine group with eight new submarines, there must be one of yours there, and your military rank will naturally be promoted by one level at that time, but you impatient son must also change it well." ”

Mu Yu snorted: "You are so much better than me, but I am an extrovert, and you are just boring." ”

Long Yu glared at Mu Yu angrily: "You kid really treats kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, and Lao Tzu doesn't bother to talk about you." ”

Mu Yu laughed and was about to say something, when he suddenly pointed to the front and said, "There is a situation ahead!" ”

Long Yu was startled, and quickly looked into the distance, and there was a faint light in the distance. He quickly raised the telescope hanging around his neck and looked at it, and then shouted: "Hurry down, close the cabin and tell the rest of the ships that the Japanese task force has been found." ”

"Woo, woo, woo" At this moment, the alarm suddenly sounded

"Dive! Dive! Urgent dive! ”

Suddenly, the submarine sounded the rapid command of the captain Long Yu. With the order to dive urgently, the deck, which was still floating on the surface of the water just now, drove towards the deck. The sailors at the watch post slammed into the lifting hatch in the boat, followed by the officer on duty, the last one being the non-commissioned officer of the airline, who slammed the cabin shut and then tightened the sealing wrench.

At this time, there was a sizzling sound and the sound of the motor turning in the boat, and the submarine at this time seemed to be transformed into a living monster showing its hideous teeth, and the dragon royal who entered the state of battle seemed to have entered a wonderful state, and all kinds of sounds around him seemed to have turned into a stream of confidence into his mind, and even the sound of the chief engineer roaring below in the distance also clearly came into his ears.

"Pressurize the boat!"

Then there was a sudden pressure in the eardrum that was generated when the boat was pressurized.

"The Japanese task force has been spotted, and they are coming in our direction. Immediately inform the rest of the submarines to rush this way, and now dive to a depth of five meters to maintain a level of navigation."

"Yes!"

"It's the captain." The horizontal helmsman calmly agreed.

At this time, the horizontal helmsman held the big steering wheel and calmly stared at the depth gauge, and there was no trace of pre-battle anxiety in the whole boat.

"Raise the periscope!"

The periscope slowly rose, and Long Yuyi pulled his hat diagonally behind him, and his eyes were pressed against the periscope.

At this time, the torpedo chief in the torpedo compartment and his subordinates were nervously loading the torpedo with the mine head, this kind of torpedo is the latest type of electric torpedo specially equipped by the logistics department of Su Tongming for the submarine group, and the current thermal-powered, air-powered torpedo used by the navies of all countries in the world is different, and it will not expose the wake track due to the large and azimuth of the submarine due to the large air flow of the tail leakage.

Despite the countless simulated installations on weekdays, the torpedo chief carefully checked whether the torpedo was ready as stated in the manual. Submarines are different from surface ships, and any mistake can lead to the entire boat sinking in the deep sea, and no mistakes will be tolerated in this claustrophobic space.

He carefully checked the torpedo according to the procedure, and then the torpedo chief nodded, the torpedo had already been installed, and as long as the commander gave an order, the torpedo commander could immediately report that all six torpedo tubes on the ship had been loaded with torpedoes. All six torpedoes have been checked and the depth is correct.

After hearing the torpedo chief's report, Long Yu nodded, "The speed is five knots, move slowly!" Be careful not to speak loudly! ”

At this time, in each cabin, these young submariners are using various methods that do not affect others to relieve the pressure in their hearts, after all, they are fundamentally different from the past. This time it's a real fight!

Slowly, through the thin hull, Xu Zicai could hear the sound of water tumbling under the hull and the sound of ping, the sound was sharp, slight, and trembling.

A large fleet has also come into the eyes of the Dragon Emperor! R
