In the suite of the Clyron Hotel in Paris, Lieutenant General Lin Wenqian was awakened by his adjutant in his sleep, and the first person to come was Zhou Sixu, who took a telegram and said: "Zhou Xi, the escort fleet on the other side of the Mediterranean has just captured a German submarine!" ”

“…… Yes. Before he could fully wake up from his sleep, the hurried chief of staff only said that a German submarine had been captured, and he was stunned for a moment before he remembered that this matter was implicated in a certain plan, and said: "You want to advance the plan of the navy?" ”

"Yes, it's going to be done now!" Zhou Sixu said. "When I received the telegram, I had already telegraphed the British army and asked them to keep the news tightly sealed, and they had no objection to it; Moreover, this fleet was bound for England, and as long as the sailors who knew about it did not dock, or did not make much of it after docking, then it was impossible for German intelligence to find out about it in a short time. However, the British wanted us to send a submarine detachment to the Strait of Gibraltar after the Adriatic operation, so as to prevent the Atlantic submarines from breaking through into the Mediterranean; The other is to ask us to develop another plan of attack against the German submarine bases in the Atlantic. ”

"They say they attack, they attack, they think that fighting is to eat beans." Lin Wenqian was completely awake at this time. Although he had a strict agreement with Britain and France before entering the war, after he arrived in France, the high production of the British and French troops still put forward various requirements for him. Fortunately, he adhered to the principle of preventing microaggressions and shirked these requirements.

"I just promised the front, not the back. Tightening the Strait of Gibraltar is of paramount importance to us. Zhou Sixu didn't want to diverge the topic so far, after all, the business was important. He then urged: "You better make a decision, is the Italian side moving ahead of schedule?" ”

"Well, I agree in advance!" Lin Wenqian nodded. "Inform Italy quickly."

"Good!" Zhou Sixu took the telegram that had been drafted long ago and asked Lin Wenqian to sign it, and then asked people to send it immediately.

The telegram was sent from Paris to the west of Brin and to Malta at the Strait of Otranto, and at ten twenty a.m. two seaplanes landed at the military port of Bryn. In addition to the pilot, there were two German servicemen wearing black hoods. As soon as the two men got off the plane, they were taken away by the gendarmes in the harbor; In the makeshift submarine cement cavern on the harbor side, welding-induced sparks splash like a waterfall. A Submariner of the Renaissance Army is in the final stages of its refit, and its bow is numbered UB-68.

"How's it going?" Colonel Tian Shijie looked at the submarine being refitted and asked Captain Ouyang Ge, the executor of this mission.

"It's almost done!" Captain Ouyang Ge saluted. "In fact, the bloodline of the submarines of the two armies is the same, but the details have been improved by the Germans, and we only need to weld a few parts."

"The Venetian side is ready, and the Italians. They also want to join the operation. It's kind of a cheer for you. Colonel Tian Shijie glanced at Ouyang Ge. Originally, he hoped that such a dangerous task could be carried out by a meticulous captain instead of a brave person like Ouyang Ge, but later looked at Ouyang Ge's previous files and found that this person was not all brave, and at many critical moments, some judgments he made turned out to be mostly correct.

"Thank you, sir!" Ouyang Ge replied. "The lower official has a reluctant request......

"Say it." Tian Shijie glanced at him, thinking that he was going to make some request.

"I hope to send Major Hu Qinzhai to partner with me this time." Ouyang Ge said, "I have been in the same group with him since Germany, and he is very careful. And I'm more careless a lot of the time......"

"You don't have to ask," Tian Shijie said. "Another submarine, he was the one who arranged it."

"Then the lower official will be relieved." Ouyang Ge's face was happy. However, at this time, the two of them had already walked along the dock to the members of the U-49 submarine crew, and the sailors lined up in two rows were looking at him and Colonel Tian Shijie, and the officer on duty saw that the commander and captain had arrived, and began to salute and report to them.

"Stand up! At ease. Colonel Tian Shijie looked at the officers and men of the whole boat, wanting to say something to them. Comrades, you will carry out a very important mission, and it will also be a life-and-death mission. This mission is related to whether the army brothers will be able to reach France safely, and whether the logistics supply lines of the expeditionary force will be cut off. You must do everything you can to complete it and sweep away the enemy submarines in the Mediterranean for the victory of the expeditionary force.

The blood of countless martyrs has created today's China, and in order for the country to obtain equal status and gain more rights and interests after the war, we should also dedicate our blood to it, without stinginess! Comrades, the commander is watching you, the prime minister is watching you, and 40,000 people are watching you. ”

Tian Shijie's words made everyone's blood boil, although in this gloomy cave, not to mention that the prime minister and the people who were thousands of miles away could not see it, even Lieutenant General Lin Wenqian, who was not far away, but the blood of young people was always easy to heat, thinking of the profound changes in the country and the ardent expectations of the people, especially their families, these people suddenly had the idea of completing the task with their bones broken. What is there to fear from death, and after eighteen years, he will be a good man again!

When it was dark, Ensign Dönitz and his first mate were re-stuffed into a submarine. Since he lost power in the middle of the night last night and decided to surrender, he has been groggy all day: first he was interrogated on the destroyer, then he was woken up before he woke up, he was forcibly put on a black cloth cover and sent to the plane, he got off the plane and was relatively well, and he could rest in the room after eating, but after dark he was forced to wear a black cloth cover, and finally sent back to the submarine. This series of tosses made Ensign Dönitz not understand what the British were going to do, but when he sat down in the submarine and removed the cloth cover, he saw that it was Chinese.

"Hello, Second Lieutenant Dönitz." A Chinese smiled in front of him and greeted him in fluent German, Dönitz, who had just removed the black cloth cover, had his eyes a little unaccustomed to the lights in the submarine, and his eyes blinked several times before he could see clearly that there was a yellow man in front of him, and then looking at the epaulettes and military uniform, he should be a captain of the Renaissance Navy, and most likely the captain of this submarine.

"I seriously protest your rude behavior." Thinking about this day's experience, Dönitz was furious. So as soon as he opened his mouth, he protested, but when his arm shook, he realized that he was still handcuffed.

"Ensign. I don't know what happened to you. I have been ordered to transport you to a certain port, and if you resist, then I can execute you; But personally, I like Germans, and if you and your adjutant can stay here quietly and not get into trouble, I'm willing to treat you like an officer. Ouyang Ge looked at the captured German captain and stared at him deadly. It seems that he wants to see some of his innermost thoughts from here.

His eyes rolled a few times suspiciously, as if he was thinking, and as if he was looking at his environment. With a year's experience in service, Ensign Dönitz could conclude that he was on a six-hundred-ton submarine, and his current position should be in the sailor's cabin. He looked at the equally confused First Officer Muller on one side, nodded and said, "Mr. Captain." We're not going to get you in trouble. ”

"Of course. This is your best bet. Ouyang Ge smiled. If you cooperate with me, I can create some opportunities for you to escape in a certain harbor, and gentlemen, if you are lucky, you will be freed instead of in a prisoner-of-war camp. ”

Dönitz's promise was incredulous, but even so, a spark of hope burned in his eyes. He was reluctant to enter a prisoner of war camp, after he was captured in history. He tried his best to escape from the prisoner of war camp, and now the Chinese will give him a chance to regain his freedom. Of course, he had to hold on to it.

"Is it done?" Seeing Ouyang Ge coming from the sailor's cabin, a young man in a green training uniform asked in the captain's room.

"That's it." Ouyang Ge nodded confidently, "I told him that as long as he doesn't get into trouble, then I'll let him go when I get there." ”

"He's really not going to get into trouble?" "What did we do......"

"As long as he and the first mate show their faces on the bridge at that time, and the patrol boat outside the harbor confirms that it is his own, then there will be no suspicion." Ouyang Ge said and looked at the young man who was still thinking, and continued, "The results of the previous reconnaissance are like this, as long as they confirm that it is their own person, they will not look at it again. ”

"What about anti-submarine nets and mines? Although the previous reconnaissance ......" training uniforms were still very worried about this operation, after all, this mission was to infiltrate the port of Bora.

"We are floating to the surface of the water, swaggering in, and there is no need to worry about submarine; Mines are also aimed at large ships, and our submarines of several hundred tons are not a problem at all. Ouyang Ge said, in order not to worry too much about the other party, he smiled again: "You Xichang, how come one is called Li Si, and the other one is still called Li Si, is there no other name?" ”

"There are so many Chinese, it doesn't matter how many names are repeated." This young man named Li Si smiled mechanically and didn't want to talk about this issue. He asked, "When will we be there?" ”

"According to the scheduled time, it is the morning after tomorrow." Ouyang Gedao. "You and your people can have a good rest, now there are only half of the usual people on the submarine, and the beds are redundant. I'll call you if there's something, but nothing will happen this way. ”

"Thank you." Li Si said politely, and took a few white men to the back cabin to find a place to rest. After leaving the port, the submarine was moving at full speed in the dark night, and the inside of the boat was very turbulent, and these landlubbers had already begun to get seasick.

As Ouyang Ge judged, the entire voyage in the Adriatic Sea was extremely smooth, and since Cheng Cheng had sunk several warships by German and Austrian submarines, the Italians and the French did not dare to send warships into this sea area again. The submarine sailed on the surface of the water at night and during the day, and only when it encountered a warship did it sink urgently, and twenty-eight hours later the submarine was on the periphery of the port of Bora.

In the war room, a map of the Bora military port provided by the Italian Navy was spread out on the table, and the entire military port was like a banana with a bumpy surface inserted into the land, forming an incomplete U-shape. At the head of the banana, there are berths for battleships, cruisers and other surface warships, and there are also supporting repair shops, ammunition depots, coal plants, and oil depots built here, and the rising star submarines that only rose in the war are arranged in the left position of the U-shaped bottom, which is already facing the sea, but because when the military port was built before, submarines were not considered at all, and at the same time, the number of submarines was quite large, so it could only be arranged here.

"That's what we're aiming for." Li Si not only took out a map of the port of Bora, but also photos of the port taken by an Italian plane. "Because there are not enough berths, there are quite a few submarines moored outside the cave, and there is information that now the submarine command is recalling combat submarines. I think we'll see a lot of submarines when we go in. ”

"But we don't have that many torpedoes." Ouyang Ge subconsciously said.

"As much as you can destroy." Li Si glanced at Ouyang Ge and somewhat blamed him for interrupting his words. "If the weather is good, the Air Force will be on standby in the air, and once we call, they will be able to show up in twenty minutes and cause some chaos, but time is very important because it is from Venice. They only stayed in the air for about two hours. That is, in these two hours, we are going to drive the submarine into the cave of the enemy submarine. Then flee.

…… Don't worry that you will be stopped by the enemy, you will change into the uniform of the German Navy, and if you jump into the water, the enemy will only think that you are panicking. Only then did he jump into the water to avoid the air raid. When the time comes, the sky over the military port will be full of planes, and no one will care about you. Just swim 500 meters and climb onto the U-52 and you'll be safe. ”

"That's the task, do you hear me?" Li Si glanced at Ouyang Ge, then at the officers and soldiers on the boat around him, and finally asked.

"Do you have to drive the submarine into the cave? What if it's full of submarines and you can't get in? The first mate on the boat asked.

"I drove into the cave to avoid the bombing of the planes, there were no berths in it, but there were still channels in and out. We just park the submarine in the access channel. Li Sidao.

"How do you detonate explosives?" Ouyang Ge didn't care much about the escape and asked, he was worried that the explosives in the submarine would not explode after the escape. Everything that was done was in vain.

"The explosives will be detonated at regular intervals, not only on the submarine's battery, but also on the starter's own battery. It was activated at the time of evacuation and detonated half an hour later. Li Sidao: "In fact, as long as it is started, there is no possibility of destruction, and once it is cracked, it will be detonated in advance." ”

"Well, I'm overthinking." Submarine Ouyang Ge understands, but when it comes to playing explosives, then he doesn't understand much, since Xichang is so confident, he won't ask more questions he doesn't understand. Looking back at the sailors beside him, he smiled and said: "The task is very simple, drive the ship into the port, then jump into the water and climb up to the U-52 a few hundred meters away, and then bang ......, congratulations to everyone, the Double Dragon Medal is decided." ”

Li Si said so seriously, but the captain said it so easily, for a while, the faces of the officers and soldiers were red and white, and it was indescribably weird. The boatswain suddenly screamed, "Damn, I'm not a member of the Revival Society if I'm afraid of death!" Guaranteed to get that dog hole! As soon as he shouted, the other sailors who were a little caught off guard also came up, and they all shouted that they were going to take the dog hole.

"Alright, let's take their places. Remember to be prepared to sacrifice, and listen to the command and not panic in any situation. Now change your clothes immediately, if the water is not good, it is best to take care of your lifebuoy and swim faster later. Ouyang Ge ordered: "All personal belongings, except for pistols, are discarded." Do you hear that? ”

"Yes, sir!" The sailors replied in unison.

"Louder!" The voices of the sailors were loud enough just now, but Ouyang Ge was not satisfied, and hoped that their voices could be louder, so as to vent the fear and anxiety in their hearts.

"Yes, sir!!" This time the sound was booming, not to mention the entire submarine, but also the U-52 that followed it. Dönitz and Müller, who were still asleep on the sailor ship, were also awakened, and they had been wondering for a day and two nights: why did the Chinese submarine officer let himself go? The space of the submarine is small, so except for a few officers such as the captain, the rest of the non-commissioned officers and sailors sleep in hot beds, why can they sleep alone as a prisoner? Why did the British send themselves to this submarine and where is this submarine going to take them?

In addition to eating and sleeping, Dönitz spent the thirty hours discussing these issues with his first mate, Müller. Müller's speculation is that there are many people in China who have a favorable opinion of Germany, and they have been fooled by Britain to declare war on the Reich. Such an explanation, while not completely dispelling Dönitz's doubts, has no better explanation for Dönitz himself.

"The day is coming, gentlemen." After Ouyang Ge discussed with Li Si for a while, several people dressed in German Navy sailor uniforms appeared in front of the two, "I am honored to inform you that you will be freed today. ”

"Really?" Listening to the prominent German words in Ouyang Ge's mouth, Dönitz and Müller were incredulous, and they excitedly stood up from their bunks and stammered for a long time before asking the question.

"Yes. But before that, you will have a few hours of very hard work. Ouyang Ge said. Actually, the commander of another department thinks you should be put to death. But I think that officers should have the honor of officers, and it is against my standards to let you die inexplicably. But in order to save your lives, I have assured him that you will not disrupt our operations. ”

The confused Germans of the "...... of action" did not know what they were talking about.

"Gentlemen, we are now outside the port of Bora, and my commander has given me the order to infiltrate the port of Bora and sink the enemy ships." It's time to act. Ouyang Ge told the truth, "I need two people to stand on the bridge and let the destroyers outside the harbor think that we are German submarines." Then, when I enter the harbor and complete my mission, you will be released. ”

The mystery is finally revealed, and Dönitz and Müller want to say no. He and Müller were controlled by sailors. There was a sharp pain in my jaw, and then I couldn't say anything. In his later memoirs, he wrote: '...... The cunning Chinese at first deceived us by saying that they wanted to release me and Muller, but in fact they needed me and Muller to stand on the bridge to trick the guard boats outside the harbor, and when I learned that this despicable plot was going to resist, they used something similar to witchcraft to control my and Muller's jaws, and we became unable to speak and our hands were re-cuffed. In order to confuse the warning boat, we also put bandages on our bodies. In the end, they carried them onto the bridge......

"Gentlemen, if you don't struggle, you won't be in pain." Ouyang Ge, who was standing at the top of the stairs, advised.

Under the banner of the German Navy, Dönitz and Müller were chained to the bridge one after the other, and several Caucasian men in German naval officers' uniforms hugged each other, pretending to be telescopes while surrounding them in the middle, unable to move. The fishy smell of the sea breeze blew on the faces of the two people, in the past, seeing the incomparably familiar Bora coast, blowing the sea breeze, it was the most wonderful moment in life, but now as the submarine moved forward, the faces of the two people were full of pain.

A destroyer in charge of patrolling outside the harbor soon spotted the lonely submarine returning to port, but it did not have the slightest suspicion, let alone ask, and the flag it came over actually congratulated your ship on its safe return to port.

The outermost destroyer was like this, after entering the harbor, the turrets and lighthouses on both sides were even more suspicious, they saw that the submarine was all waving and cheering and celebrating the safe return of congratulations, and the two temporary cameo signalman intelligence agency agents, the flag was in a hurry, fortunately their imprudent behavior was not suspected by the excited people, and the periscope that was still spinning, no one paid attention. At the beginning, I thought that the tiger's den was full of difficulties, but no one expected that he would come in without saying hello.

The submarine gradually approached the U-shaped berth on the left side, and even with the periscope, Captain Ouyang Ge could see the growing welcoming crowd on the docks, as well as the marching band that was waiting for the sailors and harbor crews who welcomed the UB-68 back safely. As is customary, the sailors on the submarine should line up on the submarine at this time to be reviewed by the crowd.

"Why hasn't the Air Force come yet?" Ouyang Ge put down the binoculars and looked at Li Sidao uneasily: "If you don't come again, you'll have to go to the gang!" ”

"It's already here, don't get excited." Li Si was just worried that the submarine would not be able to enter the port, but the vigilance in the port of Bora was so lax that he had completely entered the working state. "People are also very important, and when they all arrive at the dock, it's best to let the planes kill them together."

As soon as Li Si's words fell, the terrible sirens in the military port shrill upwards, and the people on the dock looked at the small black dots flying at a high speed in the air, and fled back to the bunker in panic, but the speed of the people was still not as fast as the plane, and the plane, which had already flown very close, suddenly spat out tongues of fire from the machine gun, sweeping down the people who were running one by one, and then whistling past the submarine dock to deal with the targets on the inside of the military port.

Machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, bombs, in the extremely chaotic military port, in order to avoid the bombing of the aircraft, the UB-68 sailed at full speed to the submarine cave. After arriving in the cave, Ouyang Ge and Li Si, who had been observing with periscopes in the bilge, stood on the bridge and kept looking around to determine where the submarine was parked.

"Just stop there!" Li Si pointed to a place, which was close to the oil depot and was on the main road at the exit of the entire submarine cave, and once the dozens of tons of explosives in the submarine exploded, it would not only lead to the fuel depot, but also destroy the entire cave.

Li Si's order was executed, the submarine was parked on the side of the main road of the cave, the high-pressure air in the diving cabin was emptied, and when the submarine sank halfway, Ouyang Ge ordered the crew to abandon the boat and escape.

"Thank God you guys came in!" A sailor, thinking that the submarine was a comrade-in-arms who had escaped from an enemy air raid, could not help but shout thanks to God. But when he saw that all the dwarf yellow people crawling out of the hatch of the submarine were very surprised.

There were a few 'pops', and under ......the silenced pistol, the sailor and a few people beside him fell in response. Li Si jumped ashore with his team, but did not run to the exit, but went to the depths of the cave.

"You're on the wrong track!" Ouyang Ge, who also jumped ashore, shouted.

"There was no mistake!" Li Si said quickly, "Hurry up and take your people away, the time is only set for fifteen minutes!" ”

"You ......" Ouyang Ge was in a hurry, he remembered that what he said before was obviously thirty minutes. Hurry! Li Siyi disappeared in a blink of an eye, and he had to rush to the entrance of the cave with the sailors, while Dönitz and Müller, with their jaws dislocated and their hands cuffed, became the sailors' shields and rushed to the front of the line.

A distance of several hundred meters was two minutes away, and the planes were still circling and raging outside, and the anti-aircraft guns in the harbor did not pose much threat to them, while some of the Austro-Hungarian air forces that met the enemy were effortlessly knocked down by those planes, and the burning bodies fell to the water, causing a large splash. Ouyang Ge didn't look at the sky, he only looked at the U-52 that followed him in, and was half-submerged in the port at this time, which was the only hope of escape. (To be continued......)
