Chapter 152 Ocean-Going Submarine
Captain Belenko didn't fall asleep. He knew the importance of this transportation. He was lying in his captain's room, tossing and turning, and as a result, he heard gunshots!
not good! Hearing this sound, Belenko got up from his bed and ran outside. As a result, just as he rushed out of his room, he heard the same gunshot from the slipway above.
Damn it! At this moment, Belenko knew what happened.
A group of vicious guys, got on their own boats and killed anyone they saw!
Because, all his crew members on the slipway, without any weapons, the gunshots that appear now can only be someone else's! Pirates, damn it, in this era, in this sea area, there are still pirates!
How to do? If he went up like this, he could only be killed. He was holding an ancient large-caliber revolver in his hand, but there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, on the opposite ladder, suddenly, several fierce gangsters appeared there, followed by gunshots!
Belenke was in his fifties, and at this moment, he also made his own choice, and jumped to the side from here.
The bullets were all emptied, Belenko's body drew an arc in the air, and then, with a clatter, fell into the sea water.
Two commandos hurried over, muzzled down, and poured bullets into the water roaringly.
The muzzle of the fire was clearly visible in the darkness.
"What's the matter?" the captain asked them.
"There was a man who dived and ran away."
"Don't worry about him, control the ship, we have to be fast!" The team leader glanced at the sea water and did not pay more attention.
Must be fast!
This is an old ship, the speed is very slow, and the time left for them is quite short.
Ordinary pirates grab the boat, pedal the boat, and after controlling the crew, drive the boat to the pirate's island, unload the cargo, and demand a ransom.
But now, it is quite unwise to drive this ship away. As long as it is daylight, the Soviet warships will definitely catch up. At the same time, once Moscow knows about it, it will become an international incident.
Therefore, the gold must be transported away within a few hours of the middle of the night!
How to transfer?
This problem was repeatedly considered when formulating the action plan, and finally, General Cyric came up with a bold idea, and after careful study, this idea was considered to be the best plan!
"Quick, quick!" After killing the Soviet soldiers in the cargo hold, Skorzny continued to urge his subordinates, and they stuck the explosives they were carrying on the sides of the cabin according to a pre-designed plan.
Then, everyone evacuated, and the last soldier who came out pressed the button.
"boom!"
"boom!"
An explosion sounded on the ship, the smoke of the explosion dissipated, and Skorzny rushed in first, looking at the holes blown on both sides, he threw away his gas mask.
The fresh sea breeze blew in from the big hole on the left side of the boat, and then blew out from the right side, and on both sides, two holes with a diameter of more than two meters were blasted!
"Signal our response force," Skorzny said. "Stop this cargo ship and drop anchor!"
The ship has stopped, and around, on the sea, the waves suddenly turned up, and in the waves, a huge submarine emerged from the water.
The hull of the submarine was still flowing, and at the same time, the hatches were opened one after another, and the German submariners ran out from inside.
The two submarines approached each other from both sides until they finally stuck together tightly. At this time, the deck of the submarine was just flush with the blasted hole! Two on each side, close to each other.
"Come on, let's do it all, it must be done before dawn!" Skorzny shouted loudly, he looked at the submarine opposite, the captain of the submarine with the rank of colonel, with a smile on his face: "Otto ,We meet again."
Otto Kreizmer, Germany's No. 1 ace in submarine warfare, sank 47 ships totaling 274.386 tons in the short period of World War II. Ranked first among all U-boats.
Otto is an old sailor. He started his training voyage as a trainee captain in April 1930. In January 1936, Otto began to participate in the training of the U-boat unit. Because of his previous experience in sailing, so He was designated as the captain of the U-boat.
And now, with the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, Germany sends troops to intervene. At the same time, submarines were also dispatched to perform patrol missions in Spanish waters.
At this time, Otto was in command of the submarine U-35. Compared with history, this submarine is already a large ocean-going submarine.
When Cyric proposed to vigorously develop the navy, Dönitz proposed to develop a submarine force. Cyric supported this. Moreover, under his suggestion, the navy began to develop large ocean-going submarines, such as now The U-35 submarine is very similar to the historical IXB submarine.
This large submarine has a surface displacement of 1,050 tons and a submerged 1,178 tons. It can dive to a depth of 165 meters. There are nearly 60 people on the submarine.
And now, except for the captain who can be idle, everyone else is lining up to take over and carry these boxes!
The length of the handling time depends on the efficiency of the handling. On the dock, it took a long time to move these boxes to the ship, which is because of inefficiency.
And now, directly from the blasted hole, the box is moved to the submarine, and the distance is almost less than ten meters. This speed is quite fast!
Skorzny handed a cigarette to Otto, the shaggy, unshaven Otto took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and felt extremely happy.
For submariners, smoking is the most extravagant behavior, because they have no chance at all, and at the same time, they have no possibility of taking a bath, so their bodies are smelly, even Otto is no exception.
Skorzny did not dislike Otto, the two have long been good friends.
"What? Go back in our submarine?" Otto asked.
Skorzny shook his head: "No, these 600 tons of cargo, 150 tons per submarine, there is no room for it. I'm afraid even your aisles will be full. We can't go up and squeeze."
Although it is now a large ocean-going submarine, space is still precious. For example, for this transportation, they threw away all the torpedoes, so that the torpedo bay in the front can be vacated, and the sleeping hammock must also be used. A chest full of gold, there won't be any more room in it!
Fortunately, Germany already has such a large submarine. If it is a small submarine with a displacement of several hundred tons in the past, don't think about it as soon as possible!
"Also, we still have to clean up the mess, General Cyric said, the shit basin has to be detained on the British." Skorzny smiled and pointed to his military uniform.
