Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 207: Communication (Part 1)
"Nani?! The submarine of the exclusive country?!" Nakasa Kishima was also taken aback, because in his concept, such a thing could not happen at all.
Kijima Moriji Nakazuko is not the kind of bureaucrat sitting in the rear office. He is a 44th graduate of the Naval Academy. After graduation, he has served in the submarine force and worked as a submarine for twelve years. Long, he was promoted to team commander only after he accumulated enough qualifications.
Guidao served as the captain on five submarines successively, one of which was on the Yi 60 at his feet. Although most of the crew members had been retired at this time, Guidao’s performance on this ocean-going submarine It can be said well.
The special structure of the submarine makes it impossible for her to search for sea targets as easily as other surface ships. As we all know, the height of the submarine control tower is very low, although it brings her good concealment, but it also reduces the distance of observation, because the surface of the earth is curved.
So submarines must rely on other technical detection methods to find targets above and below the sea. The most commonly used equipment is an underwater listening device, which can be regarded as a passive sonar in later generations. The listener does not actively emit sound waves, but passively receives the sound in the sea. The strictly trained operator can distinguish the sound of the ship's propellers and engines from the noise of the sea. The skilled operator can even Relying on the angle change between the sound source and the own boat, calculate the opponent's speed and approximate course.
However, this time, the submarine of the country of independent country surfaced at such a short distance from Yi 60, and the listener on Yi 60 didn't notice the slightest abnormality in advance. This is really an incredible thing.
"If it's not that the listening device is malfunctioning, then the operator is slack and dereliction of duty. This must be investigated." Guijima held on to the large telescope installed on the open platform at the back of the bridge and turned the lens to the front side. German submarine.
This 12-cm binocular telescope produced by Japan Optical Industry Co., Ltd. (at that time belonged to the Mitsubishi Consortium, and later Nikon) is the standard equipment of the Japanese navy ship, and the submarine is equipped with a special customized waterproof The model is actually a metal waterproof cover with a rubber gasket attached to the eyepiece position, usually turned up to the top of the lens barrel, put it down before diving, and fixed and sealed with a large bolt. This is the original creation of Japanese submarines, so that unknowing outsiders often mistakenly think that it is some Japanese high-tech equipment when they see the huge waterproof cover turned up.
Under the magnification of 20 times, the unique command tower of the German U-boat is as close at hand. Guidao can clearly see several German naval officers and soldiers, and they are also watching with a telescope. To one's own side.
"Commander, it may have been covered up by other noises..." Huafang also wanted to explain to his subordinates, but in exchange for a severe rebuke from his superior.
"Red Deer! Flower House! You are also a veteran captain! Don't you feel blushing when you say this!" Guidao released the large-scale spectacles and handed them back to the original watchmen.
"The submarine is turning, slowly approaching." The watchman standing on the top of the bridge reported in time, before turning the attention of the two chief officers back to the German ship in front.
At this time, the access hatches on the front and rear decks of U106 were all opened, and German sailors in khaki tropical uniforms were gradually climbing onto the decks.
"All recorded. This is the main ocean-going submarine equipped by the Japanese Navy." Captain Robin put down the binoculars, turned his face to the second official, and said that the other party was holding an eight-millimeter film at this time. Camera.
"Don't worry, captain." The officer replied with a smile.
"This is really a big ship." Lieutenant Igor lit the cigarette and passed the lighter to the captain.
"From the data provided by the headquarters, she is more than 800 tons more than us, but after seeing the real ship, I feel much worse than this. Look at the size of this thing." Robin Being addicted to cigarettes by the deputy captain, he took out his cigarette case from his pocket and took out a COOL brand menthol cigarette from it.
"Captain, the deck is ready, can I start?" The sailor called from the front deck to the control tower.
"Okay, let the boys be more energetic, now they represent the German submarine force." Robin replied loudly, picking up the command tower enclosure.
"Understood, everything is in place! Everyone is energetic!" The sailor yelled, and the star officer on the bridge blew a long whistle. The sailors quickly rushed to their battle positions on the deck, the artillery was opened, the machine gun was loaded, and the air defense rangefinder was mounted on the support of the hull fence. In the blink of an eye, the deck became a rigorous crew. The look of waiting.
U106 turned the bow slowly and began to face Yi 60. At this time, the distance between the two sides was only 800 meters, and they were approaching the safe distance of usual encounters at sea.
"Keep the course, 1/3 speed." Robin ordered into the microphone.
"It's the captain, one-third the speed." The navigator replied loudly from the command cabin.
"Send a signal." Robin turned his face and ordered the signalman.
"It's a Morse code." On the Yi 60 bridge, Hanabo translated it with a telescope.
"This ship...is the Imperial Navy...submarine...U106..."
"Oh, it turned out to be U106." There was also a sigh on the fore deck of Yi 60.
The group of students from the Naval Diving School, led by the instructors, also ran to the deck to watch the excitement. They said they wanted to show the young military academies to the market. In fact, the instructors who led the team had never seen Germany themselves. Active submarine.
"Attention! This kind of opportunity is very rare. Everyone should observe carefully. I saw in the school briefing that this is the ace submarine of the independent navy." The leader instructor, Captain Fujiki, said to the students with a serious face. Speaking of it, it was as if he had actually seen the briefing.
"The Dokoku submarine seems to be preparing for battle. Are they fighting with anyone?" Staff Nomura also ran up to the control tower after hearing the news. The bridge that was originally quite spacious was now full of officers at all levels. The sailors have all been driven to the deck.
"How is it possible? The war is over long ago, Nomura. This should be just ordinary training. The solitary nation’s spirit of never forgetting to train is exactly what the Imperial Navy needs to learn, so everyone must work harder. , Huafang." Nakazu Kishima raised his eyes to Captain Huafang.
"Oh, I see, Lord Commander." Huafang was still very convinced of this senior who was seven periods earlier than him, although the difference between the two sides' military ranks was only one level.
In fact, this so-called 28th diving team currently only subordinates the submarine Yi 60. The situation of the commander of the Guidao team can be said to be quite embarrassing.
The original 28th diving team was composed of three submarines. The ship numbers were Yi 59, Yi 60, and Yi 63. All of them were Haida IIIb ocean-going submarines. The team is actually worthy of the name. However, the establishment of Yi 59 is under the Wu Zhenshou Mansion, and it was put into the reserve service and sealed up just three years after it was launched into the water, so the 28th diving team only had two submarines left. The Iraqi 63 was sunk, and finally Moriji Kajima became the commander of the submarine squadron with only one submarine. .
"The submarine of the independent country asked about the identity, mission and destination of our ship, how should I answer it." Staff Nomura said.
"Replied to them, this ship is the Imperial Japanese Navy submarine No. 60, which is undergoing an ocean navigation training mission, and the destination is Bangkok Port in Siam." Guidao ordered.
"Is this appropriate? Commander." Nomura asked.
"In the beginning, there was nothing to hide, and you thought that the people of the Republic of Korea would not be able to find out afterwards?" Kishima was born in Kagoshima, a fisherman, and his character was quite open-minded.
"The Dukoku submarine replied, U106 greeted our ship, the captain of the other party...wait a moment...the Dukoku man asked us...if we can exchange some supplies with them... Pin?!" Huafang put down the binoculars and looked at everyone in the bridge with amazement.
