I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 135 USS Sturgeon
After walking down a flight of stairs and turning a corner, I saw an underground meeting room.

There were a large amount of supplies and military materials piled up there, and of course, there was also the radio station they had been looking for.

The first reaction of the two men was to swallow their saliva, quickly open the rations of compressed biscuits, eat something first, and then open two bottles of wine and drink for a while.

After there was something in my stomach, I felt better.

Being hungry is just too hard.

Alekhine quickly got into the role. He turned on the radio and waited for Lin Chen's instructions. Lin Chen hurriedly gave him the code provided by Sprantz and ordered him to contact the British side as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the British side called back quickly, and after asking some questions, they expressed their willingness to provide assistance and would arrive nearby in a few hours.

"Captain, are we really going to England?" Alekhine actually still wanted to return to the Soviet Union. He had never traveled far before. This time, following Lin Chen to Norway was already the farthest he had been, not to mention leaving the European continent.

"If we return to the Soviet Union, we will most likely face endless interrogation. Besides, can we explain clearly what we have encountered?"

"What about next? We live in England? Will they extradite us back?" Alekhin was very worried that they would be regarded as traitors in their country.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but can a living person be killed by holding his urine?" Lin Chen comforted him, "Don't worry, as long as we can fully demonstrate our value, every country will need us."

Lin Chen was telling the truth. Between countries, there was no such thing as absolute friendship and eternal alliance. In history, when the two sides attacked Berlin, they had already started to plot. After the war, the friendship was overturned at any time.

As long as I can be useful to Britain and the United States, there is no place I can't live.
Besides, he is not a Soviet! After all, one's own country is the best!
When he was thinking about the future of himself and Alekhine, he unexpectedly found a medical box. When he opened it, he found that it was full of various emergency medical equipment.

"Alekhin, can you perform surgery?" Lin Chen smiled at Alekhin.
-
More than half an hour later, there was a crisp sound of a bullet falling into a plate.

Alekhine finished his clumsy operation,
The bullet in Lin Chen's back was taken out. A bullet that was slightly deformed by being compressed was stuck on the shoulder blade on his back. Blood flowed out after the skin was cut. Alekhine had no experience and could only grope for a while. Finally, he tremblingly clamped the bullet with tweezers.

Lin Chen was sweating profusely from the pain, and his lips turned frighteningly white from the massive blood loss.

But at least it succeeded.

He let Alekhine disinfect him with alcohol and then bandage him.

He actually needed to rest for a while, but what they needed most now was to rendezvous with the British submarine. If something unexpected happened again, they would be trapped in Norway. After all, almost all of Europe was now occupied by the German army, and the probability of leaving from the land was almost zero.

After searching for some supplies, Lin Chen and Alekhin took their weapons and left this life-saving transit station.

Due to their injuries, the two men walked very slowly. Fortunately, the avalanche last night probably made the German army quite fearful, and they did not send out a large number of search troops.

After going through untold hardships, they finally arrived at the designated location. The British were very punctual and sent a raft to wait for them on the shore.

However, when they saw Lin Chen and his men wearing German uniforms and holding German weapons, they were still a little surprised.

Fortunately, Lin Chen's fluent English allowed him to quickly resolve the misunderstanding, especially after the secret code was matched, the other party was completely relieved.

Lin Chen and his team were successfully brought to the vicinity of the submarine. It was also the first time that Lin Chen and Alekhine saw a British submarine.

This is a British V-class submarine. Judging from the paint job, it should be the "Sturgeon".

This type of submarine is an improved version of the U-class submarine. Its general parameters are not much better than those of the U-class submarine. The only obvious improvement is that it has a better diving depth. The British Navy built 43 submarines from 44 to 22, and the construction plan for another 12 submarines was cancelled.

This should be a newly launched warship.

Stepping into the submarine, Lin Chen finally saw the captain.

The other party glanced at Lin Chen, stood up and saluted, "Captain of the British Royal Navy U417, Lieutenant William."

His superior informed him that they were coming to pick up a Soviet captain, so he chose to salute proactively. After all, the other party's rank was higher than his, and saluting first expressed full respect.

"The captain of the Soviet Army's 'Red Star' special operations team, Lin Chen." Lin Chen also hurriedly stood at attention and saluted, then stepped forward to shake hands and introduced Alekhine to the other party.

"I heard from my superiors that you are a super combat hero! Well, are you injured?" William then noticed that something was wrong with Lin Chen.

"It's just a minor injury, no big deal!" Lin Chen waved his hand.

"Someone, take Mr. Lin to rest immediately and prepare some food, something delicious!" William ordered loudly.

Lin Chen expressed his gratitude. Frankly speaking, he had a natural affinity for Captain William, who had a scruffy beard and smelled foul. Perhaps it was because he had driven a German U-boat before and knew that William had probably been fighting at sea for at least a month.

Under such circumstances, he was still able to come and pick me up, which in itself was extremely remarkable.

But he couldn't think about these things now, he was too sleepy and needed to rest.

He probably hadn't slept so soundly in a long time. He had been fighting and being hunted all the way, and had escaped death several times. He was exhausted both physically and mentally. Even a strong man could not bear it.

In particular, an orange light has appeared on his personal information panel, repeatedly reminding him to take a rest!
So he fell into a deep sleep without even waiting for the food that William sent.

I don’t know how long he slept before he finally woke up. He found that his shoulders were so sore, but fortunately, the wound on his back had already scabbed over. This recovery speed was incredible.

I checked my information panel again. It was currently yellow, which means I was in a sub-healthy state, but I was obviously not feeling as dizzy anymore.

After a careful look around, I found that the rest area for the submarine crew was actually on both sides of the submarine aisle. It was extremely narrow and there was no way to sit up.

The worst thing is that the stench of sweat and urine is overwhelming in these places. It must be said that life on a submarine is really hard. In comparison, the Germans' life is relatively comfortable.

"Captain, are you awake?" Alyohin had been resting next to Lin Chen. As soon as Lin Chen moved, the young man woke up immediately. He was very smart.

"How many days have I been asleep?"

"I don't know either. There is no difference between day and night in a submarine. I just asked the sailors on the submarine and they said it was two days."

Alekhin had never been on a submarine and was very curious about everything here, so he was not sleepy at all. However, it was mainly because Lin Chen was seriously injured that he was so sleepy.

He found that as long as he had a good sleep, he would recover even faster, which was amazing.

"Let's go meet the captain. After all, we rely on him for our livelihood." Lin Chen smiled. When he arrived at the submarine's command room, he suddenly found that the red warning light in the submarine was on. During his time working on the U-boat, he already knew that this meant that it was a level one alert state and that absolute silence was required.

So the officers and soldiers in the command room had no time to pay attention to Lin Chen and the others.

Lin Chen made a gesture to Alekhine to keep quiet, and the latter was not stupid, so he immediately understood what he meant.

"Sonar operator reports enemy ship position."

"Enemy ship is at 330, but shows no sign of leaving. Oops"

Suddenly, the sonar operator fell down without any warning, foaming at the mouth and shaking violently, which really scared everyone.

"Control him quickly and don't let him make any sound!" Captain William ordered softly.

The position of the sonar operator on a submarine is too important. He is the ears and eyes of the submarine. If something goes wrong with the sonar operator, it will undoubtedly be fatal to the submarine.

"Captain, he seems to be having an epileptic seizure." The first mate replied helplessly.

"Fuck!" William couldn't help but swear. His submarine had a very low speed underwater and its cruising range was also very poor, so it had to sail on the sea for a long time when there was no war.

There was a rare sunny day a few days ago. The main sonar operator and several others on the submarine, including the doctor, ignored the warnings of other crew members and basked in the sun on the deck in the hope of using ultraviolet rays to sterilize and disinfect their ulcerated skin. As a result, they were strafed by German planes and were unfortunately shot dead.

Now he is the substitute sonar operator on the boat. Now no one will listen to that thing.

"First mate, you take command and I'll listen. At least I've learned the basics." As a captain, he has been exposed to almost all positions in the submarine to ensure that he can command the submarine with ease. Of course, it is only a preliminary understanding.

But this was the only solution for now. We couldn't leave the submarine without eyes and ears, right? Moreover, there was a German destroyer waiting outside.

"Mr. William, I know how to use the sonar of the Soviet and German armies. Maybe I can give it a try." Lin Chen, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke.

"You? Aren't you from the army?" The first mate couldn't believe it. The main reason was that the position of the sonar operator was too important, and they couldn't let an outsider make things worse.

"It's a long story, but I really did it! Now is not the time to discuss this, please believe me, otherwise our situation will be very bad." Although Lin Chen's face was very pale, his voice was extremely firm.

"Okay, let's get Captain Lin on duty! We need to get through this together."

Lieutenant William had no better choice but to trust him.

Lin Chen walked to the sonar and put on his headphones, and found that the British sonar was simpler and far less sophisticated than the one on the German submarine. The scales and basic buttons on it were all in English, making it easy to understand at a glance.

Soon, he got into work mode.

"The German destroyer is heading towards us at medium speed, bearing 330." He reported the first reconnaissance information.

William had no way to verify whether what he heard was correct or not, he could only assume that it was correct. The officers and soldiers in the submarine were all sweating. This was too crazy. If Lin Chen was a fool, then they would all go to see God.

"Stop the left engine and reverse the right engine at a low speed." William adopted an arc evasive strategy. Although this method only moves a shorter distance, it will greatly increase the probability of the destroyer hitting the submarine.

"The German ship is accelerating, and the speed should be around 25 knots."

"The German ship dropped depth charges!"

"No less than 10!"

The continuous alarms made everyone hold on to any fixed objects around them and stare at the top of the submarine, although this approach was almost useless.

Because once the submarine is damaged, it will be crushed almost instantly at this depth.

"Dive to 100 meters!" Lieutenant William's handsome face was covered with cold sweat, but he still gave the order.

"Captain, 100 meters?" The first mate could hardly believe his ears, because this depth exceeded the submarine's design depth.

When it comes to submarine technology during World War II, it must be the German U-boat. By the middle of the war, the maximum diving depth of German submarines basically exceeded 150 meters, while British submarines of the same period were still hovering around 80-90 meters.

This is definitely insufficient and powerless in the face of the increasingly powerful anti-submarine forces of various countries.

"Excuting an order!"

Lin Chen also felt uneasy. The quality of the British submarines was really not as good as that of the German ones. He didn't know whether they could withstand a depth of 100 meters.

As the submarine continued to dive, a sharp sound was heard from inside the submarine as the hull was compressed by huge water pressure, which made everyone feel creepy.

However, the most terrifying thing was the continuous depth charges. The heart-pounding sound seemed to come from far away, and the entire submarine was shaking violently.

Alekhine, who had never been on a submarine, was so frightened that he was trembling all over. To be honest, he was not afraid of death and he was extremely brave in every battle, but even so, he could not stop his body's huge reaction to the fear of the unknown.

Fortunately, everyone has this kind of "first time", so no one will laugh at him.

A submarine elite once pointed out, "If you can avoid peeing your pants when you encounter a depth charge for the first time, you are a qualified submarine soldier." This shows the cruelty of underwater warfare.

Therefore, the food standards on submarines have always been based on those of the Air Force, although the actual food is very poor.

I don't know if it was because of everyone's collective prayers, but the depth charges from the German ship didn't hit us.
"The German ship is moving away, direction 150, medium speed." Lin Chen replied sweating profusely.

"Are you leaving?" William was a little confused.

"Not very likely. It is also possible that they are trying to trick us into making the sound." Lin Chen felt that given the Germans' rigor, they would not leave after just one round of bombing. However, the Germans' sonar was really inferior and might not be able to lock onto the position of our submarine, so they used a "playing hard to get" tactic.

"Captain, we are running low on oxygen!" the first mate warned.

Everyone felt very uncomfortable due to lack of oxygen. It seemed that everyone had stayed underwater for quite a long time.
