Chapter 1107 Underwater Raid

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Astute-class nuclear submarine has stopped all engine work, and the British military liaison officer is giving final explanations to Lin Rui and others.

    "We have discovered them. The Zumwalt-class destroyers are entering a predetermined position. They will pause in this area for twelve minutes to avoid the US military's reconnaissance satellite search. So these twelve minutes will be your only chance. You  The entire team used a closed-circuit diving system, which leaves no bubbles underwater that could be detected by sonar.

    In terms of long-distance water movement, we have prepared the best diving transport vehicle for you. Only one mk6 underwater propeller can carry 4 divers and related equipment.  This propulsion device is safe, silent and difficult to detect.  But even so, your time is tight.  "

    The British liaison officer said solemnly, "Remember, after boarding the ship, try to maintain communication. Through the camera on the battlefield recorder, we can give you remote command and assistance."

    Lin Rui shrugged, checked the diving suit, and put the mask on his face.  "Get ready for action." Lin Rui made a gesture, held the oxygen tank and laid it into the torpedo launch tube.  After closing the pipe and starting to inject water and pressurize it, Lin Rui could only crawl out of the pipe filled with seawater.

    The team members came out one after another, like a group of black fish.  They quickly opened the equipment compartment on the side of the submarine and dragged out their weapons and equipment and the mk6 underwater propeller.

    The light on the thruster was turned on, illuminating a hazy underwater area.  Lin Rui quickly gestured to his teammates, and several people started the underwater thrusters. The thrusters started working and led them to sneak forward.  They are not very fast because they have to be absolutely silent.

    The sonar set on the Zumwalt-class destroyer is extremely sensitive. Although a set of anti-frogman sonar instruments are missing, it is still possible to detect them.  So when Lin Rui and others hung on the mk6 underwater propeller, there was a tense atmosphere in the submarine.

    "God, these people really dare to do anything." A British soldier on the submarine whispered, "They are approaching, the Zumwalt-class destroyer is still at a standstill, and they still have eight minutes.  Maybe in eight minutes, the Zumwalt-class destroyers will set sail again."

    "I hope they can succeed." The British military liaison officer whispered.

    There is basically no visibility underwater, and the propeller¡¯s light can only illuminate a small area.  Lin Rui and others held on to the propeller and slowly approached the target moored on the water.

    "Frogman" underwater infiltration is one of the most dangerous but most effective means of amphibious special operations.  Under normal circumstances, when diving to 10 meters underwater, even if a person does not move, the physical energy consumption is equivalent to running 5 kilometers on the ground. The strong water pressure makes Lin Rui feel very uncomfortable.  When diving in the deep sea, there is always the risk of having your lungs crushed.

    Approaching within 500 meters of the target, Lin Rui made a gesture to his companions behind him.  They ascended to a relatively relaxed altitude, but still adventurous enough.  Just over a hundred meters away, Lin Rui and others had already removed the equipment from the thruster mount.

    Finally, they completed the float near the ship, and Lin Rui felt blood seeping out of his nose.

    Because when scuba diving, the various cavities in the human body, such as the lungs, are equivalent to balloons.  Unlike a balloon, which has a constant volume of air in its cavity, you keep breathing to keep your lungs full, so no matter where you are underwater, your lungs are always full when you inhale.  During the rapid ascent, the surrounding water pressure decreases rapidly, and the bloated balloon may explode if it continues to expand.  This is why some people die when their alveoli rupture while diving.

    On the other hand, the solubility of gases is directly proportional to pressure, especially nitrogen.  Therefore, a lot of nitrogen will be dissolved in the blood during deep diving.  If it rises rapidly at this time, the solubility of nitrogen will decrease rapidly, and a large number of bubbles will suddenly appear in the blood and have no time to be discharged from the body, blocking the blood vessels. This is the so-called reverse embolism.  It can cause pain in mild cases, or lead to joint and muscle necrosis in severe cases, or even loss of life.

    Lin Rui felt that his floating speed was not too fast, but his mind was still a little dizzy.  But they were pressed for time. The Zumwalt-class destroyer was right in front of them, and Lin Rui couldn't think too much about it.

    He stretched out his hand backward, and Crazy Horse behind him immediately handed him an anchor gun with a rope.  Lin Rui held the anchor gun and threw the anchor into a crack above the ship. The anchor opened instantly and got stuck.

    Lin Rui tried it hard and climbed up on the rope.  They were on a platform behind the ship where the helicopter was parked.  This Zumwalt-class destroyer has two helicopter pads behind the hull.  Lin Rui quickly climbed up, and then guided his teammates up one after another.

    He lifted up his mask and threw away the heavy? snorkeling equipment and fins, while checking the surroundings alertly.  "I'm already up. Zhao Jianfei, how are you doing?"

    "We are on the other side. According to the plan, we go to the power engine room on the ship. You go and control the commander on the ship." Zhao Jianfei responded in a low voice.

    "Understood." Lin Rui took out the weapon from the sealed bag, a short M4A1 used by the US Navy, equipped with an/PVS-4 night sight.  He signaled to the team members behind him and then led the team forward.

    In the base on Diego Garcia Island, the joint operations headquarters of the United States and Britain are also paying attention to the dynamics of the entire operation.

    "They succeeded. Two teams boarded the ship at the same time, and the enemy seemed not to notice." A US military communications personnel reported.

    "Well done." The base commander nodded, "Continue to track their actions and report their progress at any time. I want to know all the details."

    "Yes, sir," the communications officer replied.

    "Tell the agile-class submarines that their mission is not over yet. Continue to stay within the safe range and keep an eye on the **** super-class destroyers. We must retain the possibility of carrying out a final strike. If they fail, then I can only do this.  "The US military commander at the base said slowly.

    "This is a **** super-class destroyer, and there are many British soldiers on board. Do we really want to sink it?" an officer whispered.

    "Those are rebels! They betrayed their country. And this is also an order from the Ministry of Defense. To destroy this ship, the losses are indeed huge. But compared to the leakage of some sensitive technologies to hostile countries, the losses are still controlled.  Within a certain range.

    We cannot fully trust the abilities of these mercenaries. If they fail, we will have no choice but to do this.  Otherwise, we are very likely to lose the Zumwalt class destroyer completely.  "The base commander said slowly.
