300 Hide
At noon, the headquarters of the 15th Army finally made a decision to immediately use airborne troops to carry out airborne landing on several islands where the British had already retreated, provided that the light conditions were still acceptable before sunset today. Iida received information from the Tokyo base camp that in the Andaman Islands, on one of the several small islands that the British had just abandoned, a radar, an important strategic weapon that had to be acquired immediately.
The eager officers returned to deploy and mobilize in high spirits, while the soldiers were sad because they had not received relevant training. Airborne on such a small island, the skydiving window is so short that if you miss it, you can fall overboard. And their parachuting equipment is too bulky to be easy to extricate, and it is completely unsuitable for escaping after falling into the water. According to the plan, a total of 300 paratroopers, divided into three groups, landed on three islands, and then searched for the radar of the British, and after finding it, packed it and transported it to the ship.
A drone over the island is circling the submarine. The radar of the UAV can increase the warning range of 419 pairs of the sea surface, counteract the influence of the curvature of the earth on the reconnaissance distance, and increase the warning time.
Two heavy warheads have been transported to the warehouse, one of which has been dismantled and Shuping is undergoing further disassembly. In fact, this work is not easy to reach those highly toxic or radioactive substances, because it is not necessary to dismantle them to that extent just to control*.
Of course, for him, things must be planned with the utmost care, and any urging is a deaf ear. He only works at his own pace.
At the same time, the boatswain had already led people to complete the inventory of the underground warehouses of the British army, and counted 8 anti-aircraft guns and 6 searchlights, which were nothing; The most amazing thing is that on such an island where birds don't, a packaged warning radar was found. Maybe it's just a transit on this island, or maybe it's an attempt to build a radar station here because of the Andaman location, because there are indeed supporting power station facilities on this island. The British, like big men without heart, threw all kinds of valuable war resources all over the world.
Of course, the 419 could not look at such a huge two-coordinate radar. What Cheng Dayang valued more was the fuel and various military supplies that the British had in reserve. In July last year, the special team landed in Shanghai, exhausted their efforts and fought with wits and courage to collect the materials that were almost consumed, but they did not expect that in this unguarded warehouse, all kinds of materials were piled up. Good things did come too fast, and Cheng Dayang, who was fast, thought it was a dream.
"The boat team speeded up the handling, and by the way, brought some of the Japanese military uniforms on the boat," Cheng Dayang took the walkie-talkie, stood on the edge of the warehouse and commanded, he also wanted to create the illusion that some Japanese had come and empty the warehouse, and deceived the British.
"How's Shuping going?" He pressed channel 3, which was the boatswain's channel.
"It's still being disassembled, and everything is going well."
"Good."
Things seem to be going smoothly.
In the warehouse, Shuping has dismantled the yield control equipment of the first warhead, and the original function is to synchronously detonate the surface of the first-stage nuclear bomb (usually a fission bomb) of a nuclear bomb through dozens of sets of wires and *, and compress the fissile material to form a centripetal kinetic energy through dozens of sets of wires and *, in tens of millions of seconds; Another feature is to add a final layer of protection to *; If necessary, an 8-digit cipher can be sent via radio signal so that the device can be stopped after the * is transmitted, i.e. it will not detonate. This is the part that Shuping needs to bypass.
Of course, it's not too difficult to crack it. The main means of restriction for nuclear submarines is the controlled launch, and once the warhead is removed, the most difficult parts of the code are actually gone. What Shuping had to do was to make the two * out of a detonable state, and then install a relay with an attached radio receiver so that they could be detonated by remote control from a safe distance.
Since no one would have foreseen that one day the warhead on the nuclear submarine would be removed, the code was naturally not set tightly enough, and he connected to a computer to crack it by exhaustive means. After about 10 minutes, Shuping cracked the first warhead. He then carefully removed the battery and installed the equivalent controller in its place.
Although there is no carrier, Cheng Dayang already has a nuclear bomb in his hand that can be detonated at any time, with a yield of more than 1 million tons. If needed, the nuclear bomb can be reverted to its original form at any time, reloaded*. This heavy warhead will be temporarily placed in the *compartment of 419*, which will inevitably cause trouble for the loading of one or two * tubes, but the * on 419 is already getting less and less, and it seems to be a less important problem.
"Boatswain, get this warhead back."
Shu Ping turned his old waist with relief and nodded with satisfaction. It took him 2 hours to solve the problem, and the next one will be much faster, and he will definitely be able to finish it before dark.
The Guantong Department on 419 is closely observing the surrounding enemy situation at the moment. The radar detected a target approaching, and after several scan cycles, it was determined that it was approaching. It is not possible to determine whether there are multiple targets formed for the time being, but it is possible to determine the direction of its action, and it is coming straight here. Maybe one or more dummy flying machines. Guan Tong decided to raise the alarm immediately.
Cheng Dayang was watching everyone move supplies in full swing, thinking that 419 could fight for several months in a row, and suddenly received an alarm from the hand, and the political commissar told him that there was an air target approaching, and the speed was not fast, and it would arrive in about 30 minutes. In accordance with the pre-deployed emergency handling methods, Cheng Dayang asked all of them to immediately prepare for emergency diving. But Shuping told him that the second nuclear bomb was in a state of disassembly and could not be moved for a short time.
Before he made up his mind to let the warhead land, he studied it behind closed doors for several hours, during which not even a single bird appeared, however, it was so coincidental that the enemy situation appeared at the most critical moment, neither sooner nor later.
He hurried to the warehouse and found that the fairing of the second nuclear bomb was hanging on the gantry crane, with a silver warhead underneath and a mess of threads underneath. It seems that the whole work is going to the most advanced stage.
Fortunately, they also have a plan for such a situation in advance. Even if the bad omen came suddenly, he still believed that it was just a small thing. He saw Lu Qingshan, who was still wearing a bandage on his head, coming towards him against the flow of people from the anti-boat, according to the plan, Lu Qingshan and Shu Ping would stay behind to take care of this ammunition. He grabbed Lu Qingshan.
"Xiao Lu, I'll make a long story short, I'll leave the matter here to you and Shu Ping."
"Leave it to me." Lu Qingshan nodded calmly.
"I don't have to worry about you doing things, I will never be mistaken, you are far more reliable than your team leader."
Lu Qingshan could only smile noncommittally.
Cheng Dayang dropped this heavyweight compliment, and followed the others to run towards the submarine a few hundred meters away.
Here Lu Qingshan began to help Shu Ping operate the crane and put the fairing back on, within 2 minutes, only the two of them were left in the entire warehouse, during the work, the two did not have any language communication, but the cooperation was very tacit, it took about 30 minutes to complete the work, and it was almost certain that they would not be able to go back to the submarine.
"Lu, I don't need you here, you go and turn off the diesel generator, but don't turn off the circulating water cooling cooling."
"Okay."
"By the way, find the canvas for the cover of the anti-aircraft guns, there must be navy inscriptions, and the old ones."
Lu Qingshan didn't ask much, and immediately went to turn off the lighting equipment and power station. The worst outcome would be to drop a seaplane, or drop paratroopers directly, whether British or Japanese, would be a big problem. Although this possibility seems very small. But with the experience that Lu has gained since he crossed over, any trouble that you think is a small probability will eventually become a reality.
419 Shangguantong Station found that the targets in the air were scattered into several parts, and they passed towards several surrounding islands, but one group was coming towards this side. The situation seems to have taken a sharp turn for the worse, and depending on the situation, the enemy is not as simple as passing by, but targeted.
Judging from the characteristics and number of targets, it is clear that it is not shoulder resistance * that can be solved simply. Maybe the Japanese will bomb or drop it here? It's just that people who write the history of World War II don't think it's very important and forget to add this one?
Cheng Dayang watched from the enclosure as the first nuclear bomb was stuffed through the foredeck weapons loading port. He still has 15 minutes to dive, which seems to be more than enough time, but ...... He looked at the warehouse in the distance, and could see that the door was slowly closing, and everything was returning to its original state.
"Xiao Lu, the situation is not good, the air targets are scattered, heading towards the nearby islands, which is obviously targeted."
"Roger, we can handle it."
He choked out communications and began to deploy submarines to leave the port, as well as autonomous aerial cruises of drones. In fact, the footprints of those crew members on the white sand beach and the water-cooled generator that did not have time to cool down were nothing, and the most terrible thing was that the warhead would stay here.
"The deck team began skimming, the engine was paying attention, and reversing at high speed."
"The engine understands."
"The departments are the last to check and prepare for an emergency dive."
He inspected the watertight hatch in the enclosure, and was the last to enter the submarine, tightening the roulette wheel on his head.
In various departments and passages inside the submarine, the silent siren lights began to flicker, and there was a tense atmosphere.
On the contrary, the warehouse on the island seemed quiet and peaceful, if it weren't for Lu Qingshan walking around and sweeping the footprints on the ground, there would be almost no life. Shu Ping squatted there, unhurriedly twisting the last screw. He has always been like this, even if Tarzan is at the top, he will maintain the original rhythm.
"Lu, canvas."
Lu threw down the broom and dragged a thick old cloth with the words British Navy supplies on it, which was found exactly according to Shu Ping's request.
"Just cover it like that?"
"Of course. But I had to cover up the Chinese characters on the fairing first. ”
As he spoke, he used the spray paint cans he brought from the boat to paint the original white words of strategic weapons into a background color of green, and the time may be just in time to dry with a blowtorch, but the smell in the air cannot be dispersed for a while.
"That's it?"
"Of course not," Shu Ping finished screwing the last screw, and found that Lu was still in a daze, a little impatient, "This thing weighs half a ton, can you hide him?" ”
