Laizhou Bay.

The Bohai Fleet Dongyangguan submarine is training under the sea surface of Laizhou Bay. In addition to 50 Chinese officers and soldiers, there are also 8 US Navy instructors in the submarine.

The Chinese Navy has never come into contact with submarines before, and it knows nothing about submarine operations.

Therefore, the military command of Dongyangguan is temporarily in the hands of American training instructors.

"Report, it's already 90 meters away."

90 meters below the sea level, the sea water squeezes the small submarine from all directions, giving people a feeling of extreme depression and fear.

In previous training, the submarine had never reached this depth, and the metal of the hull began to creak and crack.

The American personnel looked calm, but the soldiers of the Bohai Fleet felt like their scalps were going to explode.

A strong sense of uneasiness spread in the narrow space of the submarine.

Major Maitreya, the chief training instructor and acting captain of the Dongyangguan, looked at the Chinese people beside him. Their somewhat panicked expressions seemed to make him laugh.

He glanced around at the people around him with a playful smile and said coldly:

"Keep diving!"

"yes!"

Vice-captain Zou Qiuyuan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he forced it back.

The Americans had been training diligently during this period, and Zou Qiuyuan tried not to interfere. He gave the brothers beside him who were also a little flustered a firm look.

"call……"

Everyone took a deep breath and continued to slowly feel the movement of the submarine.

"Squeak...yah..."

"95 meters!"

"One hundred meters!"

The sound of the hull being squeezed by the seawater became louder and louder. To nervous people, it felt like the entire submarine would be completely crushed by the turbulent seawater in the next second.

Everyone looked at Major Miller in the center of the command room, even the American instructors.

The Shark-class submarine is designed to dive to a depth of 350 feet, or about 106 meters.

It had already passed 100 meters, but Major Miller still had no intention of canceling the dive order.

"Sir..."

Zou Qiuyuan called out softly, but Major Miller seemed not to hear him.

The submarine continued to dive, and finally reached 110 meters.

Some soldiers were overwhelmed by invisible pressure, holding their heads in their hands and whimpering.

The American instructors could not keep their composure, and each one became paler than the other.

As if the prank had succeeded, Major Miller sneered at everyone, then shook his head and ordered:

"The stress resistance training is over, surface to the periscope depth!"

"call……"

Everyone in the submarine except Major Miller exhaled a sigh of relief.

The sense of depression and tension subsided as the submarine slowly ascended.

"Submarines are assassins in the deep sea. An assassin without enough ability to withstand pressure is unqualified. Your performance just now is really disappointing!"

Major Miller looked at the already limp Chinese soldiers and said unceremoniously.

Zou Qiuyuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked in English:

"Have you ever commanded a submarine in actual combat?"

He asked this question mainly because he wanted Major Miller to share more practical experience and at the same time ease the tension within the submarine.

But this question sounded sarcastic and teasing to Major Miller's ears, and he frowned deeply.

Just because Major Miller has never participated in actual combat.

The instructor's dignity did not allow anyone to provoke, and the major opened his mouth to reprimand him with his eyes widened.

Just at this moment, the sonar operator's report attracted everyone's attention.

"Sir, there is movement, right in front of us, less than 2 kilometers away!"

The atmosphere that had just relaxed became tense again. Major Miller ignored Zou Qiuyuan and ordered loudly:

"Stop floating, everyone keep quiet!"

At this moment, the water depth was still about 40 meters from the sea surface. After the surrounding area became quiet, the sonar operator began to pay full attention and listened more carefully.

"It's the propeller!"

"How is that possible?" Zou Qiuyuan and several naval officers around him were stunned.

The Air Force has previously inspected the training waters of Laizhou Bay and found no trace of large ships.

Other submarines and warships of the Bohai Fleet are even less likely to appear in this area, and the fishermen use small sampans.

After eliminating all possibilities, the answer is the one left until the end.

"devil!"

"Japanese monkey!"

Major Miller and Zou Qiuyuan exclaimed at the same time.

The difference was that there was a hint of inexplicable excitement in the former's voice.

"It should be a patrol gunboat with a displacement of less than 1,000 tons. The distance is less than 1,500 meters." The sonar officer kept reporting.

As a soldier, what you look forward to most is actual combat. Training day and night can only be tested in actual combat.

When he was in the U.S. Navy, he did not have the opportunity to participate in actual combat. When the opportunity appeared in front of him, Major Miller would not let it go. The excitement in his eyes became more and more intense. He looked at Zou Qiuyuan and ordered:

"Everyone enter the combat position and prepare to fight!"

The Chinese officers and soldiers in Dongyang Pass had only been training for a month, and Zou Qiuyuan did not think it was a good idea to take the initiative.

But Major Miller didn't care. He stared at the bull's eye and said:

"I am the chief instructor and have military command authority. Now that the Japanese warships have not discovered us, this is the best opportunity for an assassin to take action. Please obey the order!"

The submarine had slowly reached the height of the periscope, and Major Miller could clearly see the enemy's figure through the periscope.

It was indeed a gunboat with a displacement of less than a thousand tons, and the Japanese plaster flag above the gunboat was clearly visible.

China and Japan are at war, and the attack is reasonable. Those who do not fight would be fools.

Suppressing the excitement and excitement in his heart, Major Miller ordered in a deep voice:

"Fill the torpedo tubes No. 1 to 4 with water. The enemy ship will be within a thousand meters before firing. Follow my orders!"

Under the guidance and supervision of American instructors, everyone is ready for battle. At this moment, they feel both nervous and excited.

The speed of the Japanese gunboats was very slow, like an old man taking a walk in the sun, only enjoying the comfort above his head and unaware of the dangers that were just around the corner.

"Baby...baby...take your time..."

Major Miller stared into the periscope and muttered to himself.

In order to ensure a hit, he prepared 4 torpedoes at the same time. In addition, he had to put the enemy in as much as possible before firing, so as to shorten the evasive time after the warship discovered the torpedo.

"Nine hundred meters!" the sonar operator's voice trembled.

"No. 1! Prepare torpedo No. 2!" Zou Qiuyuan conveyed Major Miller's order to the soldiers, and the entire submarine held its breath.

"emission!"

"Tum! Tum!"

The two torpedoes entered the water, like two agile killers, splitting the sea water and rushing towards the target without looking back.

After 5 seconds, torpedo No. 3 and No. 4 entered the water!
Chapter completed!
