Chapter 66: Intermission
Fang Lang smiled and patted every soldier around him, came to the sonar soldier and patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Is Larue Cabrera right? I remember your name was Cabrera! ”
The sonar soldier obviously didn't expect that the captain would remember his name, he had been poached from other warships by Dratore, he had no background, and he had no chance of promotion, and he had worked under Dratore.
So after De La Torre told him Fang Lang's rules, he chose to agree to transfer without hesitation, before coming over, Fang Lang only met him during the interview, and he couldn't imagine that he could call his name accurately, which made him very excited, and quickly stood up and said:
"Yes sir, my name is Cabrera."
Fang Lang smiled and stretched out his hand, shook it with the other party, and held the other party's right arm with his left hand and said:
"Well done Cabrera, you're a good sonar."
At this time, the sonar soldier's face was already red with excitement, and his voice trembled:
"Sir, thank you for believing in me! You were the one who led us to victory! ”
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"Young man, be confident, you are my soldier, of course I believe in you, come on! I'm optimistic about you! ”
In fact, Cabrera in front of him was five or six years older than Fang Lang, but at this time, no one felt that there was any problem with Fang Lang's title of young man.
Fang Lang returned to the bridge with a smile and said to the first mate: "Okay, the first mate will come to command next, I'll go rest for a while, and call me directly if there is a situation." ”
The first mate of the House was Amar Reyna, the chief engineer of the original transport ship, and after hearing Fang Lang's order, Rainer stood up and said loudly:
"Yes, boss. Attention all personnel, the captain is resting, and now under my command. ”
Just now, I had been nervously directing the battle, and I didn't feel cold, but now as soon as I relaxed, I suddenly felt a chill attacking, and I felt that my back was already all sweaty.
Fortunately, he was wearing two clothes, otherwise everyone would see his soaked back, and his tall image would not be erected! Fang Lang swayed with the hull of the ship and walked towards his captain's room, and there were people on the road who kept greeting him, and he nodded in response.
After finally returning to the captain's room, he waved his fist excitedly, his face full of excitement, which was completely different from the cold image just now. After two or three minutes, he completely calmed down and quickly changed his soaked clothes.
Commanding a battle is indeed very energy-consuming, and after relaxing, Fang Lang was lying on the bed, thinking about whether he had just discovered the enemy ship with his own analytical ability, or his sixth sense!
After thinking about it, there was no answer, and in the end, Fang Lang was unconsciously shaken into sleep by the waves.
The next day and night were spent in calm and calm, and on the fourth night of the flotilla leaving the protection of the US Air Force, a light rain began to fall in the sky, and the temperature, which was not high, dropped to about five degrees.
After dinner, Fang Lang was inspecting the safety of the equipment on the warship outside the ship, and from time to time he chatted with the soldiers who were on duty in the wind and rain.
Suddenly, I heard a call from the internal communicator of the warship:
"The bridge calls the captain, please come to the bridge, over!"
Fang Lang glanced at the dark night, his heart sank, knowing that he would definitely have to face the German submarine again, and walked quickly towards the bridge. Soon came to the bridge, and as soon as the second officer on duty saw Fang Lang, he immediately reported loudly:
"Sir, the escort command ship Callaghan has just received news that the Thor, on the right side of the escort fleet, has intercepted German communications, and we have been discovered by German submarines, who are expected to set up ambushes in Area K. The Thor's had gone after the German submarine, and the command ship named us to be on our guard. ”
"Oh! K area, so it looks like I won't have to sleep tonight! Let's take a break first. You continue to command from above, and I'll go to the center of the war to see. ”
Fang Lang thought that the German army was already declining, and he didn't think that the German submarines were still very active on the Atlantic route!
Shaking his head, he put down the irrelevant things in his mind and walked into the center of the war. At this moment, in the war center, everyone has obviously received a briefing, the radar has already been turned on and working, although it is relatively busy, but everyone is not panicking.
Patting de la Torre on the shoulder, Fang Lang said:
"Lao De, aren't you on duty during the day! Why is it still there? Go get some rest and come back when the battle begins. If you don't rest, you don't have the energy to fight. ”
De la Torre shook his head helplessly and said:
"Boss, I want to rest too! But after all, we are all novices, this war center is too advanced, it is all equipment that we have not been exposed to before, I am afraid to wait for the chain to drop, and now you tell me to sleep, I can't sleep either! ”
Fang Lang smiled and comforted De La Torre and said:
"Believe our brethren, everyone has been trained, and besides, even if the equipment doesn't work, we won't fight? Rest assured! The German devils do not want to attack the fleet under our protection. ”
Just when Fang Lang wanted to talk to De La Torre again, the fleet radio rang, saying that it was Harry's communication and asked Fang Lang to answer. Fang Lang was also speechless, originally in the battle the day before yesterday, Harry got nothing, and after being slapped in the face, Fang Lang thought that Reinhardt would restrain a little, but he didn't expect that the two days would start to get worse.
asked the House to obey his command at every turn, which made not only Fang Lang very unhappy now, but even the crew of the House was very dissatisfied.
The army is a very special group, as long as you can lead everyone to victory, everyone will obey your command. But if you don't win, then everything you say is nonsense.
Fang Lang knew that Reinhardt must be very unhappy that Fang Lang could take out the German U-boat. But as a soldier, war is not a game, not a game to win or lose, but a matter of life and death.
Fang Lang felt that he was a mature person, a person who had detached himself from low-level interests, so for Reinhardt's boring behavior, Fang Lang just smiled, just like an annoying mosquito buzzing in your ear, and it might also suck a mouthful of blood on your body, but it couldn't cause you much damage.
Of course, if there is a chance, Fang Lang will definitely not mind, give him a lifelong memory, and let him know why the flowers are so red. Shaking his head with a smile, Fang Lang returned to the bridge and picked up the communicator and said:
"Harry, I'm Fang Lang of the House, please speak when you receive it, it's over!"
Communicator: Instantly, Reinhardt's voice rang out:
"House, I am the commander of Reinhardt on the left, we will arrive at Area K in two hours, in order to avoid the radar system running for too long and overheating, our ship will turn on the radar in two hours, please make sure that the radar is on state, if you find an abnormality, please report to our ship as soon as possible, over!"
When Fang Lang heard this, I'll you, you really treat yourself as a green onion. If you're afraid that your radar will overheat, aren't you afraid that my radar will overheat? When the time comes, you can turn on the radar the whole time, what should I do, this selfish to a level!
If it was other trivial matters, Fang Lang didn't bother to pay attention to it, just pretend to be deaf and dumb, but this kind of thing related to his own safety, if he wants to sacrifice himself to fulfill you, then you will think too much.
"Harry, this is the House, our ship's radar system relay overheating failure, is being repaired, now it can't be turned on, the specific start time can not be determined, please inform our ship of the enemy situation after discovering the target."
Fang Lang would not directly tear his face with him, and the upcoming battle would not allow it, so he found an excuse for equipment failure and directly rejected his request.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with his request, it is indeed a realistic situation, and it is fair that everyone can take turns to turn on, allocate time, and ensure continuous lines.
But, good guy, did you just say that you want to rest the whole time and deal with the upcoming fierce battle, so that others don't have to fight? Everyone is on the same front, and if there is a real problem with my radar by then, I will definitely not be the only one who will lose.
And Reinhardt on the Harry was furious when he heard Fang Lang's answer:
"Damn the Brazilian turtle, do you think it's amazing if you have a kill record! If you dare not take my orders seriously, I will definitely make you look good. ”
