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

Chapter 59 Muddle through?

It was daybreak and everyone woke up.

After all, we were on the sea, and on a German submarine, so we could only take a short nap.

After a simple breakfast, the seven people started a busy day of work.

Although it is an enemy submarine, the control is now in our hands. It is a Soviet submarine, so it still needs to be cleaned and maintained.

There are fewer people now, so everyone has to take on more work.

Near noon,

"First mate, there's a plane in the distance!"

The soldier on duty on the lookout tower reported loudly.

The first mate and Lin Chen quickly climbed up and took a look through the telescope. It was a German seaplane reconnaissance plane.

"It's not good. It's flying over here."

"Don't panic, we are wearing German uniforms, wave and smile!" Lin Chen shouted loudly.

"What should we say? I don't speak German." The soldier on duty couldn't help but panic when facing the swooping enemy reconnaissance plane.

"Why panic? He can't hear you. Just greet all the female members of his family. But make sure to smile." The first mate obviously understood the mystery here.

Then a very interesting scene appeared on the surface of the Barents Sea.

On one side were three Soviet officers and soldiers wearing German naval uniforms, laughing and cursing loudly with obscene words and sentences, and waving their hats vigorously. On the other side was a reconnaissance plane approaching to check, and finally flapped its wings to salute, and slowly flew away.

"Has it left? Has it been deceived by us?" The soldier on duty had sweat all over his forehead, and was obviously still in shock.

"I don't know, but it will definitely send signals to nearby warships to report our location. This is the basic job of a reconnaissance aircraft." Lin Chen was worried.

"Yes, now we can only hope that the enemy does not have any large and fast warships in this area, otherwise we will be in trouble." The first mate can only pray to God now. If the destroyers or cruisers are not operating here, then there will be no big problem.

As the saying goes, whatever you fear will come.

Soon, a destroyer appeared on the sea surface, approaching at high speed. The speed of the other party was extremely fast. If the destroyer was traveling at full speed, the speed could reach 30 knots.

Even modern nuclear submarines find it difficult to match such a high speed.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the flag signal from the other side asking them to stop the ship for inspection.

The first mate wanted to dive quickly, but Lin Chen firmly disagreed.

"If there is only one destroyer, we can survive until its depth charges run out. But if the enemy summons more destroyers, we will surely die."

"Then what do you want to do? Challenge the destroyer alone?" The first mate was a little embarrassed.

"Haha," Lin Chen smiled awkwardly, "A submarine fighting a destroyer alone is courting death. They are simply not opponents of the same level. We are wearing German uniforms. They didn't open fire directly, which means they don't necessarily know that we are the ship in trouble. If we can destroy the enemy's communication tower with one shot, they will not be able to summon more destroyers, and we may be able to escape."

"It's too risky. It's really too risky. If we are found out, we will be chopping block." The first mate was a little hesitant.

"Comrade First Officer, the Germans are approaching," the soldier warned loudly.

If they want to dive now, it would be very dangerous, so the first mate had no choice but to adopt Lin Chen's opinion.

The other party's boat came quickly. While greeting them, Lin Chen asked the first mate and the soldier on duty to go to the deck to operate the 88mm deck gun.

"Why don't your ships fly the swastika flag?" the German officer asked loudly as they approached.

"Report, our flag was damaged during the battle!" Lin Chen answered in fluent German.

"What is your commander doing?" He obviously saw the first mate operating the deck gun.

"Report to the commander, our deck gun seems to have malfunctioned, and the first mate is leading people to inspect it."

"You guys are really not careful enough. Someone reported yesterday that our submarine was captured, so we have to be extra careful."

"Really? It can't be that serious? How could such a powerful submarine like ours be captured?" Lin Chen's heart was almost jumping out of his throat. "Isn't it? We all found this news incredible, so it's just routine. Come on, lend a hand and help us secure the cable."

"boom!"

At this time, the first mate's cannon finally fired, and destroyed the enemy's communication tower with one shot.

Now it was the German officer's turn to be dumbfounded. He hadn't yet come to his senses as to why the U-boat was firing at his own destroyer.

It was not until Lin Chen took out the PPSh submachine gun and fired fiercely at them that they began to realize that the captured submarine was this one.

"Hurry, first mate," Lin Chen called out to the first mate and shouted below, "Dive quickly!"
Alarms were ringing on the destroyer, and many crew members were not ready for battle, so the situation was chaotic.

The U-boat carrying Lin Chen and others dived quickly and entered the water.

He put on his headphones skillfully and detected the other party's movements.

"The enemy has moved and is chasing us at full speed."

"The current diving depth is 50 meters. The head is down 15 degrees." A naval soldier reported the status of the submarine.

"Keep diving, to 100 meters!" This depth is the maximum depth of the K-3. Because this is a German submarine, no one has a clue as to the bottom.

"The enemy will soon catch up with us. They have dropped depth charges." Lin Chen reported in a low voice.

"Turn right 15 degrees, 1/3 speed, everyone prepare for collision." The first mate grabbed the two support points in the command room.

People cannot get close to the bulkhead underwater, as they will be injured or even killed by the huge shock wave. It is best to squat slightly to effectively avoid injury.

Of course, if you happen to be hit by a depth charge, then there is no point in doing all this.

"Boom!"

The continuous depth charges caused the boat to shake violently, almost tearing it apart.

"30 degrees to the right, 2/3 speed, dive to." The first mate glanced at Lin Chen, who gave him a firm look.

"Dive to 150 meters!"

The navigator was still shocked when he heard the depth of 150 meters. If it was a Soviet submarine, this depth would be no different from suicide.

But seeing the determination on the first mate's face, he resolutely continued to fill the main tank with water.

The submarine dives deeper into the sea at a faster speed.

"Depth charges, the second batch, very dense!" Lin Chen reported again.

Everyone looked at the depth gauge and saw that they had entered the yellow zone, a depth of 140 meters. This water depth was enough to crush any ship, and the huge water pressure made this water area a restricted area for humans.

"Boom!"

The boat shook violently again, and everyone felt very uncomfortable. Some instruments were even shattered.

"Hurry up and carry out damage control! Continue diving to 160 meters!"

Everyone looked at the first mate in despair, this was definitely a crazy depth.
