"The Fukui Maru troop transport has sunk. There is no point in us staying here. What's more, the Soviets have ambushed a submarine here. We may become the target of the Soviet submarine at any time. We must leave. Vladivostok will be handed over to those bastards in the Army.
Bar."
Lieutenant General Ozawa knew that his ships did not carry enough depth bombs to deal with submarines. He had no choice but to hide when encountering submarines. He immediately ordered the Fifth Task Force to leave the port of Vladivostok...
At the same time, Xu Rui saw through the periscope that the Suzuki was about to escape, and shouted: "Catch up and sink the Suzuki!"
"Comrade Xu Rui, forty minutes have passed and we still have twenty minutes. If we can't dive out of the water within twenty minutes, we will all die here." Captain Sumarokov said.
Xu Rui has noticed that the air in the boat has become extremely turbid, and everyone is breathing heavily. It is obvious that the oxygen in the cabin is almost exhausted.
However, Xu Rui gritted his teeth and said: "The Suzuki is the flagship of the Japanese fleet and a 10,000-ton heavy cruiser. As long as we can sink it, the Japanese navy will be completely defeated. Then it is worth it even if we put a submarine in it!"
Everyone looked at Xu Rui. Obviously, when the submarine's oxygen could only last for twenty minutes, Xu Rui wanted to pursue the Suzuki because he wanted to die together with the enemy. Faced with the choice of life and death, most
Everyone has chosen silence.
"Twenty minutes is enough for us to catch up with the Suzuki and sink it, and then we surface for air," Xu Rui said.
"Okay, Comrade Xu Rui, if you make up your mind, then we will implement your order immediately." Captain Sumarokov said.
"Increase the speed as high as possible, and be sure to pursue it within the torpedo attack range within five minutes."
"yes!"
The submarine continued to advance and reached its limit. Five minutes later, the Suzuki had entered the torpedo range. Xu Rui immediately ordered it to float to near the water surface and prepare to attack the Suzuki.
With a loud noise, the C-3 submarine continued to surface, and its periscope finally emerged from the water.
"Hold steady and aim!" Xu Rui continued to command.
At this moment, the Suzuki in the distance had discovered the location of the C-3 submarine, and rows of shells were attacking the submarine.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Shells exploded around the submarine.
Xu Rui shouted: "Don't be afraid, hold steady and aim!"
"Comrade Xu Rui, the torpedoes are ready!" an officer shouted.
"Launch!" Xu Rui shouted.
"Whoosh..."
The next moment, a torpedo jumped out of the torpedo tube, streaked through a white wave of water, and rushed towards the cruiser Suzuki.
"boom!"
The torpedo hit the side shield of the cruiser Suzuki, revealing a large hole. A large amount of seawater poured into the cruiser Suzuki. Xu Rui could see from the periscope that the heavily damaged Suzuki was overturned, and many sailors threw lifebuoys.
When he got to the sea, he jumped into the sea.
Xu Rui took another look and found that the Suzuki that was hit by a torpedo was not enough to sink, and another torpedo had to be launched. Thinking of this, Xu Rui said: "Get ready to launch a torpedo!"
"Comrade Xu Rui...the oxygen is only enough for...fifteen minutes!" an officer gasped. At this time, the air in the submarine was extremely turbid, and everyone was gasping for breath.
Xu Rui ignored the officer and just said: "Prepare torpedoes!"
"put!"
The torpedo jumped out again and headed towards the Suzuki. A moment later, there was a loud bang, the Suzuki exploded again, and the hull tilted severely.
At this moment, Takeda Heirai returned with several destroyers, firing at C-3 while surrounding it.
"boom!"
"Boom boom!"
One shell after another exploded around the submarine, and the destroyers quickly approached. As the cruiser's escort, these destroyers were equipped with depth charges to deal with submarines. For a while, depth charges poured down one after another.
"Dive quickly!" Xu Rui shouted.
"But Comrade Xu Rui... there is only enough oxygen to last for ten minutes. If we dive any further, we will all be suffocated to death," Captain Sumarokov said.
"Dive!"
Xu Rui said in a cold voice.
"I would rather die of suffocation than be sunk by the Japanese. Let's dive!" Sumarokov gritted his teeth and the submarine dived again.
At this time, the air in the submarine was extremely turbid, everyone was gasping for breath, the temperature rose sharply, and the environment was extremely harsh. However, as the submarine dived, the threats of Japanese depth bombs and artillery fire were gradually eliminated.
"Go back!" Xu Rui said with difficulty.
As the submarine headed in the direction of Vladivostok, Sumarokov said: "Comrade Xu Rui, there is also a problem with the floating device of the submarine. Now even if we want to float, we can't. It seems that we are really going to die here."
Xu Rui asked: "What is the diving depth now?"
"Forty-five meters."
Xu Rui said: "We should be out of the siege of the Japanese warships now. If we go out from the torpedo tube, there may be a glimmer of hope for survival."
"What a great idea!" Sumarokov said excitedly.
"Hurry to the torpedo tubes!" Sumarokov shouted.
At that moment, Sumarokov and Xu Rui led the crew to the torpedo launch site. The soldiers entered the torpedo tube one by one. Then Sumarokov launched the soldiers out of the torpedo tube one after another. After a few minutes, the boat
The oxygen inside is almost exhausted, and the temperature inside the warehouse has soared to more than 60 degrees.
After seeing off the last group of soldiers, Xu Rui said to Sumarokov: "You go in, and I'll take you out!"
Sumarokov knew that if Xu Rui stayed at the end and there was no one to operate the torpedo tube, Xu Rui would definitely die. Xu Rui was leaving the chance of survival to himself.
Sumarokov kept panting and said: "Comrade Xu Rui... I am the captain. Even if I die, I cannot leave my submarine. This is the duty of a soldier... You hurry up and leave!"
"No, you...go first!" Xu Rui said.
"Comrade Xu Rui... please leave this last glory to me, the captain..." Sumarokov smiled sadly, and Xu Rui saw Sumarokov's determination to die in his eyes.
Xu Rui said nothing, but gave Sumarokov a solemn military salute.
Xu Rui nodded, then put some nearby hammers and hammers on his waist and entered the torpedo tube.
"Comrade Xu Rui...see you in the next life..."
Sumarokov's vision went dark and he fell to the ground. The next moment, the submarine stopped completely and sank toward the depths of the sea...
Xu Rui took a deep breath, and then was launched from the torpedo tube. The next moment, an extremely huge pressure of sea water pressed on Xu Rui's body. Xu Rui felt that his body was about to fall, and he dived upward with all his strength.
Two meters, then he threw away the hammer from his waist, dived another two meters, and threw away the hammer from his waist.
Xu Rui knew that if he dived too fast, the huge pressure changes in his body would rupture his internal organs in a very short time, and he would definitely die. Therefore, he patiently dived little by little, each time he dived
After a while, after adapting to the pressure of the water, dive up a few meters.
In this intermittent manner, for a full minute, Xu Rui dived about twenty-five or six meters. The breath in Xu Rui's body could no longer be held in. It reached its limit. He threw away all the iron tools on his body. The next moment
, Xu Rui rose rapidly, and felt a buzzing in his ears, like an explosion. Xu Rui's eyesight went dark, and he had lost consciousness...
When Xu Rui woke up again, he saw that he was floating on the sea, holding in his hand the wooden board he picked up from the side at the last moment. Xu Rui gasped for air, and felt that his body was not weak except for a little.
What's abnormal? I looked at the surrounding sea. Behind me, the Suzuki was sinking with billowing smoke. Countless Japanese sailors jumped into the water, but the sea was covered with black oil, which was constantly burning on the surface of the sea.
, many sailors fell into the oil and were burned to coke, making bloodcurdling screams.
It seems that the sinking of the Suzuki is only a matter of time. Several Japanese warships are sailing towards the Suzuki for rescue, but they do not dare to get too close to the oil pollution area. They only bring a few lifeboats on board. As for most of the people who jumped
Sailors of the sea can only be left to their own devices.
Xu Rui looked ahead. He saw that the port of Vladivostok was about two nautical miles away. There was silence all around. Xu Rui did not see any living person. After swimming forward for a while, he saw a corpse floating on the water.
The body of a submarine sailor. Obviously, the sailor did not survive. The huge pressure difference in his body caused by the rapid rise from the bottom of the sea caused his internal organs to rupture and died.
Xu Rui felt a little uncomfortable. It seemed that many of the sailors who had just come out of the torpedo tube were dead, and it was unknown how many were still alive.
While you still have the strength, you must swim to the other side, you cannot die!
Thinking of this, Xu Rui squatted on the board and swam towards the seaside with his last strength...
At this time, inside and outside the fortress on the shore of Vladivostok, the Soviet army burst into cheers as they watched the Japanese troop transport ship and the cruiser Suzuki suffer heavy damage.
Savushkin put down the telescope in his hand and said excitedly: "Comrade Xu Rui is really capable. Not only did he convince these submarine sailors to go to sea, but he also completed the task brilliantly. This time, he has made another great contribution!"
"Commander, it seems that it is only a matter of time before the heavy cruiser Suzuki sinks. This time in the Battle of Vladivostok, we won a big victory." Savushkin's adjutant said.
Savushkin said: "The credit for this battle is mainly due to Comrade Xu Rui. If he had not stepped forward at the critical moment, Vladivostok would have been lost."
"Commander, look quickly, the Japanese warships have already sailed away, and it looks like they are about to retreat. We have really won!" Savushkin's adjutant said...
