Veteran never die

Chapter 218

0218 Afraid of death, don’t be a submarine soldier

When he returned to the ground, he felt suddenly enlightened. Seeing the submarine soldiers gathered, Wang Liang wanted to say a few words.

Just as a senior, as a veteran.

"Don't be a submarine soldier if you are afraid of death!"

"I remember that it was 1959, and it was also such a season. The navy held a military exercise near the waters of the Zhoushan Islands."

In 1959, a year of ups and downs, there were many things that could not be explained clearly.

This is history, you don't need to delve into right and wrong.

"December 12 of that year was a dark day." Wang Liang couldn't help but fell into deep memories.

The frigate of the East China Sea Fleet organized a submarine attack training exercise in Zhoushan waters.

At twelve noon, the exercise was coming to an end.

The weather at sea changed rapidly. The sky was clear just now, but it changed in a short while, and it rained heavily. At the same time, the waves were rough and the waves were monstrous.

Seeing this situation, the commander of the exercise couldn't help frowning.

The warships equipped by our navy are all in disrepair for a long time, and the extremely bad weather comes suddenly. Can they withstand it?
Wang Liang narrated as a witness: "It has been in disrepair for a long time, and to what extent it has been in disrepair, I can only say that it is dilapidated beyond your imagination. That exercise was not satisfactory, and the results were very poor. None of the goals were achieved.”

The submarine officers and soldiers listened carefully, and the netizens watching the live broadcast also listened quietly.

"Submarine No. 418 is an M-class small submarine. Generally speaking, it is a Soviet baby-class submarine. If you compare the submarines equipped by European and American navies to cars at that time, submarine No. 418 is at best a bicycle." Wang Liang said. Possibly in plain language.

In 1959, China knew almost nothing about submarines.

"This exercise is the first time the Chinese Navy has gone to sea after receiving the submarine. Of course, it is an exploratory exercise, the beginning of the Chinese submarine."

"The fighters on the submarine were carefully selected from the entire army. They all went to the submarine learning team to receive training from Soviet instructors. Restricted by various conditions at the time, despite a long study, the soldiers only mastered the basics of the submarine. Basic operational techniques, but little knowledge of tactics such as attacking submarines and anti-ships." Wang Liang said.

This can't be blamed on our soldiers, and conditions are one factor.

More importantly, Big Brother is not open and honest with us, and is secretive about the core technology.

No one wants their neighbors to be a threat to them.

If the navy wants to develop submarines and make submarines into combat power, it can only explore step by step on its own.

There is always a price to pay for exploration.

50 meters below the sea in Zhoushan sea area.

The No. 418 submarine moved forward at full speed, drawing a huge zigzag to avoid the search of surface ships.

"The captain's name is Zhang Minglong, my comrade-in-arms. On the day he went to sea, his pregnant wife was approaching the due date. Minglong kept showing off to me, 'Old Wang, I'm going to be a father.'" You said I will give us What should I name my son?''Weiguo? Weimin? If it's a daughter, it's Weihua!' I can see the joy from the bottom of my heart on his face."

Familiar faces appeared in front of Wang Liang's eyes.

"Deputy captain Wang Mingxin, graduated from the Leningrad Naval Academy, he just became a father. Navigator Jin Zuoyin, a college student who graduated from the Lianshi Maritime Academy, acting political commissar Zhang Qianchong"

One forty in the afternoon, which is the time the exercise is scheduled to end.

The frigate Hengyang, which is training with the 418 submarine, has arrived at the prescribed sea area to stop and drift according to the predetermined plan.

Wang Liang analyzed: "Stopping and drifting is a fatal mistake. Once stopped, the submarine cannot listen to the sound of surface ships, let alone ensure the safety of floating."

"Originally, the Navy only knew a little about submarines, and the captain of the Hengyang was participating in activities on the shore."

A brief introduction, just one word, Wang Liang doesn't want to draw everyone's attention to the 'event'.

What he wants to talk about is a pure soldier, a soldier whose vocation is to obey orders.

The officers and soldiers on the Hengyang ship threw three grenades into the water one after another. This is the contact method agreed with the submarine.

50 meters underwater, 418 submarines.

"Report to the captain, three explosions were detected." The sonar soldier immediately reported to the captain.

Calculated in terms of days, his wife should have finished giving birth, and he is definitely going to be a father, so the captain Zhang Minglong showed a long-lost smile on his face: "You don't need to report it, we can hear such a big movement. All units pay attention , ready to float up!"

"Get ready to float!" The crew in the duty room repeated the command of the captain.

The alarm sounded for a long time, and the crew resting in the dormitory quickly arrived at the battle position,

"The first cabin is ready."

"The second cabin is ready."

"The third compartment is ready."

"."

"Report, captain, all cabins are ready."

"Start floating!" Zhang Minglong issued the password again.

The crew on duty repeated: "Start floating."

"Everything is in the stage of exploration, and the officers and soldiers on the submarine only know a little about the submarine. Another fatal mistake is entangled, watertight! Watertight means that after the hull is flooded or the cabin and cabinet are flushed, its structure and The corresponding closing equipment and so on maintain the watertight airtight performance under a certain water pressure. In fact, the watertight doors of the watertight compartments were not completely closed on the submarine at that time.”

Wang Liang continued: "If there is no accident, the negligence of watertightness is nothing, and there will be no consequences. It is like a car driver forgetting to wear a seat belt, if there is no accident."

The reason why he explained so much is that Wang Liang wants everyone to understand that history has certain limitations.

Perhaps in the eyes of onlookers, the flaws at that time were so puzzling.

But if you lived in that era and in that environment, you might have made the same mistakes.

buzzing-

The chief engineer started the drainage system, and there were bursts of roaring sounds in the engine room, and there was a lot of movement, after all, it was an old equipment.

Fifteen atmospheres of high-pressure gas was quickly injected into the water tank, the seawater was squeezed out of the water tank under the powerful high-pressure gas, and the submarine began to float.

"50 meters."

"45 meters."

"40 meters."

"35 meters."

"30 meters."

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the submarine was constantly floating.

Smiles bloomed on the faces of the crew members. It has become a luxury to take a breath of fresh air after being away from the ground for more than a week.

They couldn't wait to float up, raised the five-star red flag on the sea, and took a few mouthfuls of fresh air.

Shout a few times to release the inner depression.

Although they were elites selected from the entire army, it was their first time to perform missions under the sea. Those days were really a torment.
