On the dark sea, an ocean-going submarine is cleaving the waves.

Accompanied by the screeching sound of diesel engines, the narrow submarine arched forward on the sea surface, splitting two white waves in the bow and dragging out long wave marks in the stern.

The night sky was overcast, and there was hardly any light between the sea and the sky. It was already five o'clock, but the long winter night was still dead dark.

On the control tower, four people in thick waterproof coats, each holding a large telescope, looked in four different directions. The submarines under their feet fell together, and the four people stood firmly, without even moving their arms.

If it's daytime, look in at least six directions. But now it's a dark night where you can't see your fingers, and you can't see how far away, four people are enough.

Beneath the hatch at his feet, a girl's voice shouted:

"Request to get on the bridge!"

"Permission!"

A crew member came out of the hatch at his feet, exhaled white air, and reported to the captain:

"Captain, we've arrived at our designated location! Now two nautical miles to the north is Qingdao Mountain Fort, and three nautical miles to the east is the entrance to Jiaozhou Bay! ”

The captain of the boat, Captain Wu Haiqiong, stared at the north with a huge naval binocular. This woman in her thirties has a cold face, there is no trace of waves on her face, a thick scarf is wrapped around her neck, her lips are tightly closed, and the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned.

She stared at the north without moving, and commanded:

"Twin-engine parking."

"Yes," the crew shouted into the hatch, "twin-engine stop!" ”

Soon, a radius of several hundred meters fell silent, except for the sound of the sea crashing and the faint sound of wind in the air.

The submarine slowly slowed down and walked forward with inertia, and the white marks behind the tail gradually faded.

The dark grey conning tower is painted with a cute dolphin. This shows that this submarine belongs to the ocean-going submarine force of the Ming Navy, which is different from the river reconnaissance submarine like the "Grasshopper".

The bottom of the dolphin is painted with three white numbers "624".

In the Ming Dynasty Navy, the battleship number started with 1, and the lower battle cruiser was 2, the aircraft carrier was 3, the cruiser was 4, the destroyer was 5, and the submarine was 6.

The Grasshopper has a displacement of more than 300 tons and a crew of 12 people, while this ocean-going submarine has a displacement of 1,120 tons and a crew of more than 70 people. The pocket reconnaissance submarines of the Ming Dynasty were generally named after "flowers, birds, fish and insects", while the ocean-going submarines were named after the famous ancient Chinese sword.

The 624 boat was named "Gongfu".

Wu Haiqiong put down the binoculars and said:

"Very well, float here first, and send a message home immediately that we have arrived. Gather all the officers in the central command cabin, and I have an important order to announce. ”

The crew looked at her with some surprise:

"Yes."

……

Yesterday, the Ming Dynasty mobilized for the national war, and several submarines of the submarine base of the East China Sea Fleet urgently went to sea and headed north, and were ordered to patrol in the northern waters, each looking for and following the Beiqing cargo ship, and once they received the order to start a war, they would enter the attack.

However, when the Gongbu patrolled to the southern waters of the Shandong Peninsula, it received a secret message that only the captain could read, and the password was still of the highest level.

is different from the captain of Qiu Qiu, the captain of an ocean-going boat like Wu Haiqiong, almost everyone has a quiet, introverted, and unfazed character. She didn't know who she was asked to pick up, only the time, place, and number of people. But it doesn't matter, whether it's a combat mission or this kind of mission, she will complete it as a training mission.

Ten minutes later, the Gongbu slowly dived to a depth of 12 meters, stretched out its periscope, and sailed quietly towards the entrance of Jiaozhou Bay.

Jiaozhou Bay is a large bay recessed inland on the south side of Shandong Peninsula, with an area of more than 500 square kilometers. The land on the east side of the entrance is recessed into a small piece, about one square kilometer or so, which is the Qingdao Military Port.

Qingdao Port, like Port Arthur, is one of the best ports in northern China, and it is also one of the few harbors in the north that meets the high requirements of military ports.

……

Zhou Decai, the commander of the military police company, could no longer bear it after passing Weifang, and was so sleepy that he went to sleep, and now, like other military police, he slept to death.

Xiang Xiaoqiang climbed over the coal bunker and climbed to the locomotive cab. He ordered Li Changgui to speed up, and the speed of 30 kilometers per hour was increased to 50 kilometers per hour, and finally entered Jiaozhou Station before dawn at four o'clock. To the east of Jiaozhou Bay is Qingdao, and to the west is Jiaozhou. When the Jiaoji Railway reaches the northern part of Jiaozhou Bay, it will branch into two branches, leading to Qingdao and Jiaozhou respectively. The one in the east will eventually lead to the Qingdao military port at the entrance of Jiaozhou Bay, and the one in the west will also lead to the Huangdao wharf dozens of kilometers south of Jiaozhou.

The train slowed down slightly, then sped past Jiaozhou Station again, and continued south along the coast of Jiaozhou Bay, getting closer and closer to the sea.

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at his watch, and then looked at the night sky outside, and became restless. He had to take control of the train before the first whites appeared in the east, and then lead the men on foot to the predetermined location on the seashore and wait for the submarine. If it's dawn, it's dangerous.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he pulled out his whistle and blew it behind him. This is to signal the team members to control the train.

The train whirred slowly, Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at the map through the faint red light in the cab, and squinted his eyes to look outside. Now the sea is a few dozen meters to the left of the railway, and the smell of damp sea comes to my face from time to time. In the distance, on Jiaozhou Bay, there was a little red light moving slowly, and he had already seen it through the binoculars, it was a destroyer patrolling the sea at night.

Li Changgui doesn't add coal to the stove now, but also grabs the handle, leans out and looks out, holding a cigarette in his mouth and squinting his eyes. He has run this line many times, he is very familiar with it, and he can be completely trusted. Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at his expert appearance and thought with relief, thanks to such a railway veteran this time.

"Almost, right here," Li Changgui said, "this is the designated place." ”

He turned the lever a few times, and the train spewed out a puff of white gas and slowly stopped.

Xiang Xiaoqiang asked him to stay here, grabbed his submachine gun and jumped out of the car, and ran backwards.

With a stomachache, he poked his head out of the door of the last carriage and whispered:

"Captain, it's done!"

……

Nine commandos with submachine guns and ten female submariners with box guns easily restrained more than a hundred Qing soldiers in their sleep.

Xiang Xiaoqiang instructed that Fourteen Gege should not participate, and now she and Xiao Wu are still in the luxury box, accompanied by two female soldiers. Fourteen Gege put his arms around Xiao Wu and watched in amazement as the two commandos moved their rifles to the carriage one by one.

The two female soldiers are half surveillance, half companionship. Fourteen Gege was uncomfortable at this time, and everyone could see it. After all, this is to disarm the soldiers of her homeland in front of her.

……

In the last two carriages, under the watchful eye of a machine gun and several submachine guns, the soldiers were being securely tied to their seats with backpack straps and belts. Then the experienced stomach ache made people blindfold them and stuff their mouths. According to the stomachache, this is a good way to prevent them from untying each other.

Zhou Decai was tied up like a dumpling, his face was pale with anger, and he was spewing gas.

Xiang Xiaoqiang stood at the entrance of the carriage and addressed them:

"I have a machine gun here, and I was going to kill you all. But you've picked up a life now. You know why? It's fourteen Gege, and she said, if I kill you, she won't go with us, she'll die here. Alas, there is no way, I have to let you go. You should be glad that you have such a good character. She is going to go to the Ming Dynasty with us now, but that's what you all saw, the traitor usurped the throne, killed her father and brother, and wanted to kill her, so there was no way to go out and hide. Whoever doesn't hide! Anyway, you remember, your little life was saved by you fourteen grids, and when you scold her in the newspaper in Ming'er, don't scold her, just do it! Well, the brethren will have a time later, so don't see you on the battlefield, it's better! ”

With a wave of his hand, the team jumped off the train and locked the car door. The boiler at the front of the car was still burning, and the heating was so good that it couldn't freeze them.

Fourteen Gege put on his coat and came down, approached Xiang Xiaoqiang, and said in a low voice:

"I hear it all, I ...... Very impressed...... You don't have to say this for me. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang put the gun on his shoulder:

"I didn't mean to tell you. I just wanted to say these things. I feel more comfortable when I say it. ”

……

In the dark, the waves crash against the reef. Xiang Xiaoqiang stood on the reef, breathing deep in the cold and salty air, feeling clear and comfortable. Behind him, more than twenty people stood in the dark, looking out at the sea.

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at his watch, there were still five minutes before the allotted time. What are you doing in those five minutes? Alas, uncover the beam between Qiu Yu and the Fourteen Gege!

"Qiu Yu, you know," he said loudly without looking back, facing the sea, "Miao Cuihua is now in the army hospital in Pukou. Fourteen Gege did not give the order to shoot her. She's just saying that to make you unhappy. ”

Qiu Yu was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth, looked at the fourteen grids, and knocked over the five-flavor bottle in his heart, and the taste was indescribable.

It is said that this little girl was put into a fourteen-grid box, and she recognized at a glance that the person in front of her was the one who arrested herself and tried herself, and when she was in Pukou, she also called and instigated Tojin to despise herself!

The enemies are very red when they see each other, not to mention that the fourteen grids are the fallen phoenix, let alone be afraid. In addition, she openly provoked that she had killed Miao Cuihua, which added fuel to the fire.

Just before Xiang Xiaoqiang sneaked into the box, Qiu Yu still relied on the large number of people, and he bullied Fourteen Gege very much.

……

In the darkness, Fourteen Gege's eyes were shining, looking at Qiuyu.

Qiu Yu slowly approached her, stretched out his head to look at the bruises on her face, lowered his head again, gently kicked the stone on his toes, sighed, and said:

"It still hurts, doesn't it? …… Back...... Turn back to the submarine, I'll rub you with medicine. ”

Fourteen Gege glanced at Xiang Xiaoqiang's back, looked at Qiu Yu with a smile, and patted her on the back:

"Alright."

……

"Okay, it's time!"

Xiang Xiaoqiang stood on the reef, took out a flashlight, and sent a few flashes into the dark Jiaozhou Bay. Five minutes later, a few more hits.

Everyone waited nervously for more than ten minutes, and a rubber raft appeared faintly in the darkness in the distance, and a few oars paddled in the water.

As they got closer, a girl on the raft shouted:

"The sea, it's all water!"

Qiu Yu immediately shouted:

"Horses, four-legged!"

The girl on the boat shouted again:

"How many legs does the grasshopper have?"

Qiu Yu shouted:

"Now I don't have a leg!"

……

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this funny code word.

The rubber raft made two trips and carried everyone to the submarine.

Floating on the Gongbu in Jiaozhou Bay, the crew deflates the raft and loads it into the boat.

Captain Wu Haiqiong looked at the dark blue that had appeared in the east, and commanded in a deep voice:

"Evacuate the bridge."

"Yes, all evacuate the bridge."

She was the last to descend into the command module and commanded:

"Dive to periscope depth."

"Yes, dive to periscope depth."

The engineer gave step-by-step orders in an orderly manner.

Under the faint red light in the boat, Wu Haiqiong looked at the more than two dozen "guests" in front of him with excited faces, and said with a smile:

"Hehe, welcome to the Daming submarine 'Gongbu'. I am Captain Wu Haiqiong, and I am the captain of the Gongbu. ”

Qiu Yu led ten of his men to stand up and salute, and said loudly:

"Sir! I'm Lieutenant Akitsu, the captain of the Grasshopper! ”
