239 Water Ghosts

He got up and patted Ma Qiang and Xu Chong on the shoulders, and the two put on breathing apparatus, put on equipment, and got into the rescue cabin. After someone tightened the hatch from the outside, the inside of the rescue chamber began to be filled with water, and after a while the submarine would open the top hatch. The water is less than 10 meters deep, and they will swim close to the enemy ship on their own and wait for an opportunity to go up. If they are exposed in action, 419 will immediately launch* to sink the ship as soon as they get out, which is of course the next step. The entire operation was supported by communications via an electronic mast jutting out of the sea.

The submarine hovered quietly under the water, opened the hatch of the rescue pod, and two frogmen quickly floated up from here and emerged from the waves, the wave height was obviously much higher than the 1 to 2 meters that the Lin group had told them, and the rain was also very heavy, and it seemed that the typhoon was coming quickly. In the distance, the sky was flashing continuously, and it was the rain clouds that were being carried by the typhoon that were discharging. These Japanese are really dying.

100 meters away on the ship, you can see that organic individuals are working on the back deck, and judging from the scene of cremation and splashing, something is being welded, as if it is temporarily reinforcing a tall crane support. In other positions of the ship, no people were observed.

The two of them dive underwater and swim forward with their flippers, and these cycling wetsuits have the advantage of not blowing bubbles and causing exposure, although it is still cumbersome to carry an oxygen tank on their backs.

After a while, the two arrived at the side of the boat, and Xu Chong was the first to surface. Observe carefully, then throw a claw at the railing above.

After grasping the claws, he climbed the rope and went up through a porthole, where he could see Masaka sleeping in the hammock inside. If a Japanese person wakes up at this time, he or she will probably be frightened and fainted by the water ghost wearing a strange breathing apparatus and a huge diving goggle outside.

In a few clicks, he reached the foot of the first class and grabbed the railing on the side of the ship. The ship was loaded with too much equipment, which led to a lot of draught, which made it easier for him to get on board.

He poked his head out from under the side of the ship. You can see a mess of things at the stern console, and several sailors are moving various items, among which are various large and small gas cylinders, some of which have eye-catching yellow labels.

There was a guy in an army uniform who stood in the wind and rain smoking a cigarette with his hands crossed, looking extremely anxious. The person turned over slightly, and he could see that the person was wearing glasses, and it seemed to be the person who was ranked 4th on Lin Xiuxuan's assassination list.

At the same time, Lin Xiuxuan and Cheng Dayang, who were sitting in the submarine, were watching synchronously through the images transmitted by the camera on Xu Chong's head. Lin almost recognized the old enemy of Kage Zuo Zhenzhao at first sight.

"Sure enough, it's this old fox, who tracked it all the way from Shanghai to here, and he really didn't relax at all."

"Kill him?"

Cheng Dayang asked, he heard the murderous aura in Lin's tone.

"No, not for now, I'll think about it again. Let Xu Chong perform the main task first. ”

Xu Chong slowly climbed onto the side of the ship and hid in the shadows, he looked around for possible threats, but found no Japanese presence in other areas outside the stern.

"Xu Chong, don't turn your head, look at the direction of the crane gantry." Lin Xiuxuan sent instructions. Xu Chong stopped his head.

Lin zoomed in his vision and saw several chains hanging from the winch, and a red and white rope hanging next to it, which was a very ordinary diving signal rope.

He turned back to Cheng Dayang, "Have you used this thing?" ”

"When practicing fast drifting, I have been in contact with it, and I use it to send and receive signals, and I generally pull it twice or once to show the difference between dots and strokes."

"It's that simple?"

"Well, now you can use a transducer to go out of the cabin, and you can directly conduct underwater acoustic talk, who would use such a backward method."

"Okay, Xu Chong, you continue to search."

Xu Chongxun walked along the rocking side of the boat to the bow of the ship, there was still light in the bridge, it seemed that someone was on duty, it was not the place he wanted to go. At this moment, Ma Qiang behind him had already come up.

On the back deck, Kagesa Zhenzhao's clothes were soaked, and he threw away his cigarette butt and turned back. The two of them quickly ducked under the lifeboat and watched as the man walked past them and into a cabin. They took off the oxygen cylinder and placed it in the lifeboat, and acted separately according to the task assignment, Xu Chong went to the back deck to look for helium, Ma Qiang followed Ying Zuo Zhenzhao into the cabin, and in terms of assassination, Ma Qiang was more proficient.

Ma Qiang got into the cabin, and it was pitch black, which was very suitable for hiding. He now had to find out if those traversers were also on the ship, as long as he found any of them, the mission would be accomplished, and he could get out right away and wait for 419's* to solve the entire ship. If none of them are found, the situation will be slightly complicated, and the only way to do this is to let Team Leader Lin take the idea.

A hatch in front of him was hidden, and he cautiously walked in the shadows. He could hear two people talking inside, speaking Japanese, which he couldn't understand, but if he got closer, he could let Lin Xiuxuan on the submarine distinguish it. Ma Qiang, a man with a rough appearance, but his stealth and assassination techniques can be as precise as embroidery, and at this moment he quietly approached the hatch, holding * in his hand. In the light cast from the hatch, two figures flickered.

"Captain Tada, this ship is getting more and more bumpy."

The sound was transmitted to the submarine through the microphone, and the voiceprint recognition software in Lin's hand immediately recognized that it was Kagesa Zhenzhao, of course, a little redundant. He turned on the noise reduction and sound gain, carefully discerning what the old enemy had to say, so as to decide the next course of action.

"General, I see that your face is not good, did you take some seasickness medicine?"

"No, no, I can still hold on. I'm just a little worried...... Just now, it was found that several bolts under the bracket on one side of the crane were loose. On the other side, it's fine. People are being welded some steel plates for reinforcement. ”

"I said earlier that the guy who installed this thing was an idiot. It was built high and heavy, completely destroying the center of gravity of the ship. If the waves are bigger later, the gantry, which is higher than the bridge, will inevitably topple over, which is not something that can be solved by welding a few iron plates. ”

"I'm sure it's okay to hold on for another hour, right? The divers are coming up. We'll leave here right away and go to Taiwan. ”

"I'm afraid I'm not so optimistic, in my experience, the wind will increase to 10 in an hour, and the wave height will double."

"Isn't it dangerous......" Kagesa said as the rickety boat began another cycle of violently undulating rocking.

"Needless to say, the ships designed in the Taisho era were originally not well restored, so they were decommissioned early. Now that the latter thing has been added, I'm afraid it's even more unstable. ”

"But the divers are down there. Can't you leave them alone? ”

"General, let me ask you more, what kind of shipwreck is down there, and what important things are there? Even if it's gold, it's not going to take such a big risk and have to be salvaged before a typhoon, right? ”

"Tada-kun, this is a secret, I can't tell you."

"The guy you brought with me, Makino, can you always talk about it? Everyone looks at him very unpleasantly. Now the crew is talking privately about the strange things of the lately, first not going to the designated area, and then getting those coquettish. You know that seafarers have a traditional superstition that women are unlucky to go on board. As a captain, if you don't know anything, you can't explain it to the sailors, and I hope you know what I'm suffering. ”

"Let them guess, I can only tell you that the following things are very important, that Makino is not a spy either, he is half foreign, but he is a real Japanese."

"I knew he was important, otherwise I wouldn't have sent a seaplane to pick him up."

Half a kilometer away under the water, Lin Xiuxuan's heart chuckled, it seemed that Makino left early, and he didn't know if he had taken anything away.

At the same time, Xu Chong, who was hiding in the stern of the boat, was cats in the increasingly heavy wind and rain, waiting for an opportunity. He had already determined from the text of the cylinders that the yellow bottles were compressed helium, and the other cylinders were oxygen and acetylene. He could also hear the squeaking of the crane, which was unstable.

The helium cylinders were loaded into the gondola next to the crane, and there were eight of them, connected by chains. The rest of the personnel who remained on the aft deck retreated to the cabin for some reason, leaving only one officer on duty staring at the dive signal rope.

The time had come, and he cautiously slipped through. It was found that several bolts under the bracket had been pulled up and bent, and it seemed that they could not support it for too long. At the stern of the ship, the construction of the crane must have been in a hurry, with little regard for the stresses that might be faced in the event of high winds and high waves. Now the Japanese are blind.

At the same time, in the 419 command cabin, Shu Ping was lying on the edge of Cheng Dayang, watching the video of Xu Chong's play. He asked Xu Chong to turn his gaze to the ground and observe the improvised stacks of objects by the Japanese, and he was going to give the necessary instructions in order to destroy the enemy's crane without leaving a trace.

"Do you use acetylene welding equipment at your feet?"

Xu Chong couldn't speak, and tapped the microphone lightly to show correctness.

"Very good, first attach the buoyancy device to those yellow helium cylinders, and then put the timed detonation* under the bracket, not much, 5 grams of low speed* is enough. Don't worry, they'll think it's acetylene or oxygen explosion, and I hate it most because of the chaos and chaos of the construction site, and I deserve it. ”

As the ship rose and fell in the wind and waves, these temporary stacks of various dangerous gas bottles rolled around on the deck, and it seemed that the power of the typhoon had completely disrupted the Japanese protocol. Xu Chong knocked a small* under the bracket, then removed the air bag behind his back and carefully attached it to the 8 precious helium cylinders. Once the bracket loses stability and falls into the sea, the bottles sink to the bottom of the sea, but after 24 hours, a timer inflates the airbag (which is actually a small inflatable boat), causing them to float again. In this way, you can get helium without even noticing. The only regret is that the number is still too small.

He stayed within 5 meters of the Japanese soldier on duty, installed a timer detonator, set it to explode in 30 minutes, and after completing everything, quietly retreated to his original place and waited for Ma Qiang's side to move.

At the same time, submarine No. 419 snooped for new movements on the seabed, and a series of bubble sounds came from the silent Kasuga Maru, apparently Japanese divers had returned from the sunken ship ahead of schedule. What can I do now?

Once the diving bell is out of the water, the enemy may get the information they have salvaged. Although the diver needs to be decompressed and cannot touch the outside, the salvaged items may be placed on the outside.

Lin Xiuxuan was about to remind Xu Chong to go back immediately to revise the detonation time, but three or four Japanese got out of the hatch on one side, returned to the rear deck post, and began to continue welding work.

It seems that it is time to dispatch Lu Qingshan, and in any case, the following two Japanese divers cannot be allowed to return to the surface alive.
