Chapter 54

In Lei Rui's field of vision, faint gray and white text messages scrolled:

...Activate the mission to hunt down U-571!

...Mission scenario: The German submarine U-571 is damaged and is floating in the North Atlantic Ocean to be rescued. The S-33 submarine is disguised as a German submarine and goes to rescue, waiting for an opportunity to seize the cipher machine and code book on the German submarine U-571!
...Mission objectives: 1. Survive! 2. Capture the German cipher machine and code book and bring them back successfully.

...Mission failure: 1. Death (Note: Death will not return to the original world, but completely obliterate it!); 2. Failed to capture the German cipher machine and code book!

... If the task is successful, there will be meritorious rewards, and if the task fails, there will be corresponding meritorious deduction penalties!
Lei Rui had no chance of refusing this task, so he had to accept it.

While he was concentrating on the pale gray text in front of him, Captain He Shu asked Weitz about his resume in German. It turned out that this skinny guy was born in Koblenz on the Rhine. In response, he switched to English and asked, "Can you understand what I'm saying?"

Weitz turned his head and looked at Captain Taylor beside him, and replied timidly in German: "Sir, I am a country boy, but I have good listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. I studied German at Brown University before the war. completed the degree."

"OK! That's him!" Captain He Shu turned his head to General Duke, and when Captain Taylor took Weitz out, he turned to look at Lei Rui and asked in German, "You are the private of Ranger C Company Lei Rui? Major Erritt’s report said that you participated in the super soldier project, but it was not completely successful, what’s going on?”

"Yes, sir!" Lei Rui also replied in German, "I don't know what's going on, sir, the secret military base was bloodbathed by German super soldiers, Colonel Erritt didn't tell us anything, just let me come here to report Major Gunen reports."

"How are your reading and writing skills?" Captain He Shu continued to ask.

"As good as I am in listening and speaking. Sir!"

Captain He Shu stared at Lei Rui for a few glances, then turned to General Duke again, nodded and said, "OK, he can."

The four went in together. When they came out, Captain Taylor and Communicationsman Weitz were still at the door. Major Gunan introduced Lei Rui to Captain Taylor and told him that Lei Rui would also go to sea with the S-33 submarine to participate in this mission. Action, directly hand Lei Rui to Captain Taylor, and leave first.

The S-33 submarine was nervously loaded with supplies and ordnance. Captain Taylor led the two of them towards the submarine. They were all sullen and in a bad mood all the way. Captain Taylor said: "Captain, please don't tell everyone that I have half German blood, they will hate me!"

Captain Taylor looked a little absent-minded, and said to Weitz: "Of course, Weitz, I know."

When he turned to leave, he still seemed preoccupied. Weitz let out a long breath. The scene just now seemed to have put him under considerable pressure.Now that the officers have left, Lei Rui in front of him is just like him, a private soldier, and a landlubber who came to the submarine to go to sea together, he suddenly seemed much more relaxed.

The time required for supplies and ordnance is 2 hours. Lei Rui did not idle, but joined the work of the sailors with Weitz. More than 20 people lined up in a row, like a chain of transmission, and sent the supplies The materials were sent to the S-33 submarine, and working with them, as well as the maintenance technicians on the submarine, were still nervously repairing the hull with electric welding.

Arrived in the early morning, the S-33 submarine was ready and set sail on time. Lei Rui was not a sailor, so he couldn't get involved in these matters, so he followed Captain He Shu and Major Gunan as a quiet bystander.

The order of the captain, Major Dalgreen, was concise and clear. Every sailor strictly obeyed their posts, and the S-33 submarine slowly drove out of the dock.

As soon as they sailed out of the military port, everyone entered the submarine. It was the first time for Lei Rui to take a submarine, and he came with a mission. The space in the submarine was narrow, and there was not much space in the command cabin. The captain Major Dalgreen, Captain Taylor, first mate Henry, and the sailors who took their positions, a total of more than a dozen people crowded together. The three of Lei Rui stood beside the chart table, even if they were in the way, but they were not in this place. There is no room to stay anywhere else.

"The observation deck hatch is closed!" Captain Taylor ordered, "Close the main ventilation valve, turn off the diesel engine in the engine room, and switch to the electric motor! Sir, the whole boat is ready for diving!"

"Dive to 10 feet at 150 degrees!" Commanded the captain, Major Dalgreen.

Second Lieutenant An Mi repeated the captain's order, and said to Big Henry: "Turn on the dive alarm and fill the main tank with water!"

The first officer, Henry, went over and sounded the three-dive alarm. The whole submarine was filled with sharp sirens, and the periscope was raised. Captain Taylor put on a waterproof raincoat for the captain and a leather hat that covered the entire neck and shoulders. , the captain bent slightly, leaned in front of the periscope, and said while watching: "The water level has risen to the deck, and there are no obstacles and safety around! The dive angle is 15 degrees!"

The water dripped on the chart next to Lei Rui, and the two beetles crawled away in a hurry. Lei Rui followed the water droplets and looked up, feeling a little worried. This place, Will there be a crash, a big hole will be broken, and then the sea will rush in?

"Lower the periscope!" Captain Taylor ordered as soon as the captain, Major Dalgreen, left the periscope. The periscope slowly descended, and the water on it flowed down, startling the three of Lei Rui.

The first officer Henry who was a few steps ahead just looked back calmly, with a hint of blaming Captain He Shu, Major Gunan and Lei Rui for making a fuss in his eyes, Second Lieutenant Anmi turned around and asked with a smile: "Are you all First time on a submarine?"

The three of them nodded in unison, but they looked at the dripping and leaking places around them, worrying directly on their faces. Although Lei Rui had watched the movie "Hunting U-571", it was just like the beachhead in Omaha. It's the same every day, no matter how immersive the movie screen and sound effects are, they can't be compared with the reality at this moment!

In the narrow space of the submarine, there are ticking and splashing sounds of water all around, and the surrounding air seems to be under huge water pressure, even speaking, it seems to be muffled, which is a little bit different from usual. Not the same!In particular, there was a creaking sound coming from the hull of the submarine from time to time, as if the entire submarine was about to be crushed under the pressure of the water.

Being in such an environment, you can't help but feel frightened.

Pong!
The sailor Massula checked the water pipe with a sharp hammer, and only tapped it lightly, but a hole was knocked out all of a sudden, and water arrows splashed out. Everyone turned their heads to look at it, and Lei Rui was slightly surprised. When he opened his mouth, his whole heart was seized at once.

What kind of broken submarine is this?Can a hammer punch a hole?

Lei Rui was really beeping in his heart. If he had known this, he should have accepted Major Erritt's proposal. As Rogers' partner, completing military training together would be safer and more reliable than boarding this classic boat!
