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

Chapter 80 A great victory
This was the damage caused by the huge sea water pressure outside the submarine. The high-pressure water jets caught several sailors standing on the side off guard and caused them varying degrees of injuries.

"Carry out repairs quickly!" Kaga no longer cared about the silent order and shouted loudly!

The first mate personally led his men to rush over and used the widest steel bars for temporary reinforcement, but as soon as this side was sealed, the other side began to explode again!
The entire boat was damaged and in chaos!
Kaga understood that his submarine could no longer withstand such tremendous water pressure, and he had to make a prompt decision!

"Stop diving and surface to 80 meters!"

The sailors quickly injected compressed air into the main water tank, but to their despair, the depth gauge not only did not rise, but instead slowly dropped to a depth of 120 meters!

Kaga was shocked and sweat began to pour down his forehead. He knew very well what this meant.

"Use all the compressed air to fill the main water tank and initiate emergency ascent!"

Everyone understood that the captain was making a desperate attempt. The compressed air had run out and they could no longer control the depth, which was tantamount to surrendering to the U.S. military.

But at this critical moment of life and death, no one has a better solution.

With all the compressed air valves opened, the depth gauge finally stopped sinking.

Kaga couldn't help but let out a breath.

But the depth meter doesn’t seem to rise as everyone expected. What’s the point of it hanging there all the time?
Just when everyone was hesitant, the dial in the rear cabin could not withstand the water pressure and began to burst again.

A huge column of water rushed out, and the depth gauge began to point to the red danger zone at a very fast speed. More pipes burst, and the Japanese sailors in the boat looked desperate. There were even young sailors shouting for their mothers!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sonar operator of the American destroyer swimming above the Japanese submarine heard a huge explosion underwater.

"Captain! The Japanese submarine exploded. It must have dived too deep and the hull couldn't withstand the huge water pressure!" he reported excitedly!

"Well, we finally let these bitches taste our power. Report to Colonel York that we have successfully destroyed the last submarine of the Japanese army!"

When Colonel York waited anxiously for the good news from the destroyer, the ship cheered loudly again, because just a few minutes ago, three Japanese fighter planes were shot down by the US military, and the remaining Japanese planes fled south frantically.

In order to prevent the Japanese planes from taking desperate measures, Colonel York ordered to stop the pursuit!

Although the U.S. military won the final victory in this battle, it also paid a high price, losing a total of 7 cargo ships and a cruise ship. 5 fighter jets were lost, but fortunately most of the pilots were rescued by amphibious aircraft. These are the priceless wealth of the U.S. military. As for the aircraft, with the strong military production capacity of the United States, it naturally doesn't care!
"Mr. Lin, thank you for your help to our fleet. Let's go and have a drink. This time it's not Coke. I have a private collection of good wine!" Colonel York excitedly took Lin Chen's hand and walked out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few days later, the fleet finally arrived at the Vladivostok naval port, and the Soviet army held a grand welcome ceremony on the shore.

Commander Apanasenko came in person, which was a very high-profile event. At the port, Lin Chen also met his old acquaintance, Captain Mendeleev!

That's right, he was promoted again. This is really frustrating! After the welcoming ceremony, Commander Apanasenko met with Lin Chen at his official residence.

He first expressed his high appreciation for Lin Chen's extraordinary courage and strategy shown in this operation, but was very dissatisfied with the fact that so many cargoes in the formation were sunk by the Japanese army.

Lin Chen reported in detail the entire journey from San Francisco to here, as well as the attacks by Japanese submarines and aircraft on the way, but he did not mention a word about his role in the voyage, because the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and he had already made enough contributions. If he said more, it would obviously make himself unhappy.

In a word, quit while you’re ahead!
"These arrogant Americans just don't want to fly our Soviet flag, otherwise the Japanese army wouldn't dare to openly attack!"

Regarding this point, Lin Chen had heard from John before that merchant ships coming from the United States would fly the Soviet flag, so that the Japanese submarines would most likely not attack. However, this time, being escorted by the American fleet, it was obviously inappropriate to fly the flag of another country.

Of course, it was also inconvenient for him to say these words, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"You have completed your mission very well. You should report to the General Staff Headquarters in Moscow immediately. Here is the address! But someone should be there to pick you up when you get there."

"Since the General Staff asked you to report as soon as possible, we have arranged a plane for you this time to facilitate your quick arrival! Good job, young man!" Commander Apanasenko extended his hand very warmly to shake hands with him and say goodbye, which really made Lin Chen flattered.

Captain Mendeleev personally drove Lin Chen to the military airport. After presenting the relevant documents, the US-aided jeep successfully drove into the heavily guarded airport.

"This is the Li-3 transport aircraft that we developed based on the Douglas DC-2 transport aircraft of the United States. It is a low-wing, single-propeller, twin-engine transport aircraft with an all-metal structure and a maximum range of about 3000 kilometers."

He pointed to a medium-sized transport plane undergoing final inspection and maintenance on the runway and proudly introduced it, "You know, almost all air forces are now used for military operations on the front line. This transport plane is Commander Apanasenko's private plane. It is a great honor for you to ride it!"

Lin Chen couldn't help but be shocked after hearing this. What is its origin?
Mendeleev looked around and made sure that there was no one around. Then he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that your report to Moscow this time was sent directly by the General Staff Headquarters. Maybe it was Marshal Vasilevsky who appointed you. It must be a top-secret mission! You must be mentally prepared."

Lin Chen was even more shocked after hearing this. What was he asking me to do? Save the earth?
But looking at this time, it seems that the Battle of Kursk is about to take place. Do they want me to join the armored forces? But this does not require a direct order from the General Staff, right?
In confusion and anxiety, Mendeleev sent Lin Chen onto the plane. Only then did Lin Chen discover that there were many other important people on the plane, including a major general covered with medals, scientists from national research institutions, and some civil servants, none of whom he knew.

In contrast, Lin Chen, dressed in the uniform of a great warrior, seemed so out of place among this group of people.

At first everyone thought he was a guard soldier sent by the military district, until Lin Chen sat down in the front seat in the cabin, everyone felt that he was a little different.

At this time, the plane began to taxi on the runway. Lin Chen waved to Mendeleev at the side of the runway through the window.

The two men looked at each other. Although there was no verbal communication, the friendship forged on the battlefield made everyone understand each other's meaning.

Take care! See you alive!
