58 The submarine is talking
Two days before the S-33 submarine arrived at the target area, Lei Rui stopped high-intensity combat training, only arranged a few boarding drills, and then gave the commandos time to relax.
The whole trip was carried out according to a well-planned plan, and the few hours delayed in the middle due to crossing the stormy area were also made up for in the subsequent trip, and when we arrived at the target area, it was exactly early in the morning, only two hours later than the planned time.
On the lookout platform outside the cabin, the lookout who went out to search for the target submarine U-571 sent back the news that the sea surface was windy and rough and the rain was pouring down.
This was really an unexpected surprise, the dark night and heavy rain helped the submarine to hide its outline, and the possibility of pretending to be a German U-boat without being detected greatly increased, but the difficulty of searching for the target submarine U-571 in a rainy night also greatly increased.
The commandos were all dressed in German uniforms and covered with raincoats, which made it easier to hide the Thomson submachine guns they carried, and gathered in the control room.
"After boarding, Lei and I each led a team to control the bow and stern respectively. The first mate took control of the control room, and Captain Taylor and Captain Heshu led people to search for the cipher machine and the codebook, respectively. Each group must pay attention to whether the Germans have placed explosives packs! Once found, be sure to dismantle it as soon as possible! Do you understand? β
After Major Gu Nan finished speaking, he gave everyone a very serious look, and the grouping was quickly completed, considering that the space in the submarine is narrow, and the small man has the advantage of maneuverability, Lei Rui chose Trigg and Rabbit Kony as the team to attack and control the bow area.
The commando team was on standby in the control room, and the captain Major Dalgreen personally went up to the lookout and boarded for more than an hour before Major Dalgreen went down to the control room and brought good news that the German U-571 submarine had been spotted and was approaching, and the assault team would be ready to set off immediately.
Everyone's spirits are lifted, and waiting like this is actually the most consuming of a person's energy. The commandos made their final preparations for departure, and Major Dalgreen walked up to Captain Heshu and Major Gunan, and said to the two in a low voice: "I will try to control the part that surfaces to hide the outline of the submarine. Mind you, if the situation is not right, I will order that U-boat to be blown up! β
He said it in a low voice, and everyone was busy with their own business, and they didn't notice that the three of them were together, but Lei Rui was different, and his perception ability was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he could hear it clearly.
On the sea, the rain is very strong, fortunately it is not a storm, and the waves are not very large, otherwise in this environment, let alone rowing a small boat to board the German U-571 submarine, it is unrealistic for the submarine to float on the sea.
Six people sat in each of the two kayaks, and in the middle were placed a tightly wrapped package in a rain cloth, pretending to be the parts needed to repair the submarine, but in fact it was explosives and carrying supplies, rowing towards the U-571 submarine about 200 meters ahead.
When I was on the deck of the submarine, I didn't feel how big the waves were, but on this small kayak, I could quickly realize what it was like to have endless waves of waves, and the kayak was very bumpy, but compared to the landing craft that grabbed the beach in Omaha, this time the bumps seemed much more regular, with the waves undulating, and even the interval time was about the same.
At a distance of about two hundred meters, it took nearly half an hour to row before approaching the U-571 submarine, and there were people standing on the foredeck and on the lookout, and they were ready to meet the maintenance technicians.
βshitοΌ They have machine guns! Masura suddenly cursed in a low voice.
Lei Rui immediately whispered to stop him: "Don't panic! Relax and be natural! Concentrate on paddling! β
The guy on the lookout, who looked like the captain, put down the binoculars on his phone and replied loudly, "Which of you are maintenance technicians?" Who is a maintenance technician? β
According to the original plan, the conversation before boarding the boat was handled by Captain Heshu, who spoke the purest German, but under the noses of the Germans, Captain Heshu didn't know what was going on, his tongue seemed to be knotted, but he didn't say anything, Lei Rui could hear the extremely low urging voice of Captain Taylor on the kayak next to him, so that Captain Heshu quickly answered.
The other party asked a second time, Captain He Shu was still dumb, Lei Rui shouted and replied: "We are all maintenance technicians!" Here are spare parts, if not enough, there are still on the supply boat over there, which is guaranteed to be repaired before sunrise and let the submarine sail normally! β
Wetz, a communications soldier, chimed in: "Yes, we're all maintenance technicians!" And there are erotic letters sprinkled with French perfume, which of you wants? Fragrant! β
"Yes! Who wants? Captain Hessh sat in the same kayak as Wesz, a communications officer, and chimed in loudly, taking the opportunity to grab the pouch and avoid looking away from the German soldiers who were questioning.
Lei Rui can understand him, as a civilian soldier who sits in the office and is good at analyzing and processing comprehensive intelligence, the value of Captain Heshu is not reflected in the battlefield charging into battle to kill the enemy, but in cracking the German army's coded communications, insight into the German army's military deployment, their success is reflected in the strategy, targeted arrangement, and a beautiful victory, and their negligence may make many people lose their lives.
Now he came directly to the front line of the battle, not nervous at all, that was Superman, it was impossible! In front of the German machine guns, even a sailor like Matsula would panic, and Captain Heshu did not break down emotionally on the spot, but could still echo and shout a word, although he was nervous, and did not show obvious flaws, which was already very rare.
Captain Taylor took the pouch and threw it hard, and the guy on the lookout reached into the air, grabbed the pouch, turned his head and shouted inside the submarine: "Our comrades have brought letters from home, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits!"
At such a close distance, Lei Rui could hear the suppressed cheers coming from inside the submarine.
This guy is very morale-boosting, waving and shouting for everyone to hurry up and get on the boat, while raising the binoculars in his hand to check the kayak up close. He may just want to see the boarding process of everyone clearly, but Lei Rui noticed that Masura beside him was quietly reaching under the raincoat, and he couldn't help but be startled, and shouted in a low voice: "Masura, paddle!" Don't take a gun! β
Captain Taylor, who had already grabbed the rope thrown by the people on the submarine, was the first to board the U-571, and did not yet look like he was fully on his feet. Lei Rui whispered a timely stop, but Masura didn't listen to him, but clicked and quietly pulled the bolt of Thomson's submachine gun.
Lei Rui secretly screamed badly, and sure enough, he saw that the guy on the lookout noticed Masoula's movements, and his whole body was obviously shocked, and he immediately turned his head and shouted as if reflexively: "Alarm!" Sound the alarm! β
