In the suite at the Crilon Hotel in Paris, Lieutenant General Lin Wenqian was awakened by his adjutant in his sleep. The first person to come in was Zhou Sixu. He held a telegram and said: "Cixie, the Mediterranean escort fleet has just captured a German submarine!"

"...ah." Before he could fully wake up from his sleep, the hurried Chief of Staff only said that a German submarine was captured. He was stunned for a moment before he remembered the involvement of this matter with a plan, and said, "Do you want to advance the Navy's plan?"

"Yes, it will be implemented now!" Zhou Sixu said. "After I received the telegram, I have already sent the British army to ask them to strictly block the news. They have no objection to this. Moreover, this fleet is heading to the UK. As long as the sailors who know this matter do not dock or do not make a big announcement after docking, the matter will not be discovered by the German intelligence department in a short time. However, the British hope that we will complete the operation in the Adriatic Sea and send a submarine team to the Strait of Gibraltar to prevent the Atlantic submarines from breaking into the Mediterranean Sea; in addition, we must formulate another attack plan to deal with the German submarine base on the Atlantic Ocean."

"They attacked and thought that fighting was a bean. "Lin Wenqian was completely awake at this time. Although he had a strict agreement with Britain and France before joining the war, after he arrived in France, the high yield of the British and French army still put forward various demands on him. Fortunately, he adhered to the principle of preventing problems and evaded these demands.

"I just agreed to the front, but not the back. Stopping the Strait of Gibraltar is extremely important to us." Zhou Sixu didn't want the topic to spread so far, after all, the important matter was important. He then urged: "You should make a decision. Is the action in Italy ahead of time?"

"Well, I agree in advance!" Lin Wenqian nodded. "You should notify Italy quickly."

"Okay!" Zhou Sixu took the telegram that had been drafted long ago and asked Lin Wenqian to sign, and then he asked someone to send the report immediately.

The telegram was sent from Paris to the west of Brin and Malta in the Strait of Otranto. At 10:20 am, two seaplanes landed at the military port of Bolling. In addition to the pilot, there were also two Germans wearing black covers. As soon as these two men got off the plane, they were taken away by the military police in the port; and in the temporary cement cave of submarines built on the harbor, Mars caused by welding splashed like a waterfall. A Revival Army submarine is undergoing final modification, and the number of its bow is ub-68.

"How is it going?" Colonel Tian Shijie looked at the submarine being modified and asked Captain Ouyang Ge, the executor of the mission.

"It's almost done!" Captain Ouyang Ge said after saluting. "In fact, the bloodlines of the submarines of the two armies are the same. However, the details have been improved by the Germans. We just need to weld a few parts."

"The Venice is ready, and there are Italians. They also want to join this operation. It is a cheering for you." Colonel Tian Shijie glanced at Ouyang Ge. He originally hoped that such a dangerous task would be able to have a meticulous captain to perform rather than a brave man like Ouyang Ge. But later, looking through Ouyang Ge's previous files, I found that this person was not all brave. At many critical moments, most of the judgments he made were proved correct afterwards.

"Thank you, sir!" Ouyang Ge replied. "There is another unhappy request..."

"Tell me." Tian Shijie glanced at him, thinking that he wanted to make any requests.

"I hope to send Major Huqinzhai to partner with me this time." Ouyang Ge said, "He and I have been in the same group since Germany. He is careful. And I am often careless..."

"You don't have to ask," said Tian Shijie. "The other submarine was originally arranged."

"Then you'll be relieved." Ouyang Ge was delighted. However, at this time, the two of them had already walked along the dock to the U-49 submarine crew. The sailors arranged in two rows were watching him and Colonel Tian Shijie. When the duty officer saw that the commander and the captain had arrived, he began to salute and report to them.

"Stay at attention! Take a break." Colonel Tian Shijie looked at the officers and soldiers of the boat and wanted to say something to them. "Comrades, you will carry out a very important mission, and it is also a life-and-death mission. This mission is related to whether the army brothers can safely reach France and whether the logistics supply line of the Expeditionary Force will be cut off. You must do everything possible to complete it and sweep the enemy submarines in the Mediterranean for the victory of the Expeditionary Force.

The blood of countless martyrs has created China today. In order for the country to gain equal status and gain more rights after the war, we should also devote our blood to it without hesitation! Comrades, the commander is watching you, the Prime Minister is watching you, and 40 million people are watching you, fight hard!"

Tian Shijie's words made everyone excited. Although in this gloomy cave, not to mention that the Prime Minister and the Chinese people could not see it thousands of miles away, even Lieutenant General Lin Wenqian not far away, the blood of young people is always prone to heat up. Thinking of the profound changes in the country and the eager expectations of the Chinese people, especially the family, these people immediately had the idea of ​​completing the task even if they were torn to pieces. Why are you afraid of death? Eighteen years later, you will be a hero again!

When it was dark, Lieutenant Dunitz and his first mate were re-stuck into a submarine. He lost power in the middle of the night yesterday to surrender. He was drowsy on the day: he was first interrogated on the destroyer, but then woke up before he woke up. He forced a black cloth cover to be sent on the plane. It was better to get off the plane. After eating, he could rest in the room. However, after it was dark, he was forced to wear a black cloth cover and finally sent back to the submarine. This series of tosses made Lieutenitz not understand what the British were going to do, but when he sat in the submarine and removed the cloth cover, he saw that it was a Chinese.

"Hello, Lieutenant Dunitz." A Chinese smiled in front of him and greeted him fluently in German. Dunitz, who had just removed the black cloth cover, was a little uncomfortable with the lights in the submarine. He blinked several times before he saw clearly that there was a yellow man in front of him. Looking at the epaulette and uniform, he should be a naval captain of the Revival Army, and it is very likely that he was the captain of the submarine.

"I seriously protest your rude behavior." Thinking of this day, Denitz was very angry. So he protested as soon as he opened his mouth, but when his arms were shaking, he realized that he was still wearing handcuffs.

"Second Lieutenant. I don't know what you have encountered before. The order I received was to transport you to a certain port. If you resist, I can execute you; but personally, I like the Germans. If you and your adjutant can stay here quietly and not cause trouble, I am willing to give you the treatment of an officer." Ouyang Ge looked at the captured German captain and stared at his eyes. He seemed to want to see some of his thoughts deep in his heart from this.

His eyes turned suspiciously, as if he was thinking, as if he was looking at his environment. With one year of service experience, Lieutenant Dunitz could determine that he was on a 600-ton submarine, and his current position should be in a sailor cabin. He looked at the same confused first mate Muller on one side, nodded and said, "Sir Captain. We will not cause trouble for you."

"Of course. This is your best choice." Ouyang Ge smiled. "If you cooperate with me, I can create some opportunities in a certain harbor to let you escape. Gentlemen, if you are lucky enough, you will be free rather than entering the prisoner-of-war camp."

The other party's promise made Denitz unbelievable, but even so, a spark of hope ignited in his eyes. He was unwilling to enter the prisoner-of-war camp. After being captured in history, he tried every means to escape from the prisoner-of-war camp. Now that the Chinese will give him a chance to regain freedom, he must certainly grasp it.

"Have you done it?" asked a young man in green training uniform as he watched Ouyang Ge come from the sailor's cabin.

"It's done." Ouyang Ge nodded confidently, "I told him that as long as I don't cause trouble, I will let him go when I get there."

"Will he really not cause trouble?" asked in the training uniform, "we did..."

"As long as he and the first mate show their faces on the bridge, the patrol boat outside the port confirmed that it was his own person, then they would not be suspicious." After saying that, Ouyang Ge looked at the young man who was still thinking, and then said, "The results of the previous reconnaissance were like this. As long as they confirmed that they were his own person, they would not take a look at it again."

"What should I do if I can prevent submersible networks and mines? Although I used the previous reconnaissance..." The training uniform was still very worried about this operation, after all, this mission was to penetrate into the Port of Bola.

"We floated up to the water and went in with a swagger. There is no need to worry about preventing submersible damage; mines are also targeted at large ships. Our submarines of hundreds of tons are not a big deal at all." Ouyang Ge said. In order not to worry too much, he smiled and said, "Why did you come from the West Factory call Li Si, and the other one is called Li Si? Is there no other name?"

"There are so many Chinese people, it's not irrelevant to have a few names." The young man named Li Si smiled mechanically and did not want to talk about this issue. He asked instead: "When will we arrive?"

"According to the scheduled time, it is the morning after tomorrow." Ouyang Ge said. "You and your people can rest well. Now there are only half of the people on the submarine that are usually the same, and the beds are redundant. I will call you if you have any questions, but I think nothing will happen along the 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 darkness, and the boat was very bumpy. These land ducks had already begun to have seasickness.

As Ouyang Ge judged, the entire voyage in the Adriatic Sea was extremely smooth. After being sunk several warships by German and Austrian submarines, Italy and the French dared not send warships into this sea area. The submarines sailed on the water at night and on the water during the day. They only sank urgently when they met a warship. Twenty-eight hours later, the submarine was already outside the port of Bola.

In the war room, a map of the Bola military port provided by the Italian Navy was spread on the table. The entire military port was like a banana with a concave and uneven surface banana inserted into the land, forming an incomplete U-shaped shape. At the head of the banana, there are berths of battleships, cruisers and other surface warships. There are also supporting repair shops, ammunition depots, coal factories, and oil depots. The rising submarines that rose in the war were arranged to the left of the bottom of the U-shaped shape, which was already facing the sea outlet, but because the submarines were not considered before when the military port was built, and the number of submarines was large, so they could only be arranged here.

"This is our target." Li Si not only took out the map of the Port of Bola, but also took photos of the port taken by Italian aircraft. "Because there are not enough berths, many submarines are parked outside the cave. There are reports that the Submarine Command is recalling combat submarines. I think there will be many submarines when we enter."

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

"Whatever you can destroy is counting." Li Si glanced at Ouyang Ge, blaming him for interrupting himself. "If the weather is good, the Air Force will be on standby in the air. Once we call, they will appear and create some chaos in twenty minutes, but time is very important because it is taken off from Venice. They have only been stuck in the air for about two hours. In other words, within these two hours, we will drive the submarine into the enemy submarine cave and then escape.

...Don't worry that you will be blocked by the enemy. You will change into the German navy uniforms. If you jump into the water, the enemy will only think that you are panicking. Then you jump into the water to avoid the air strike. At that time, there are planes above the military port, and no one will care about you. As long as you swim for five hundred meters and climb onto the u-52, you will be safe."

"That's the mission, have you heard it clearly?" Li Si glanced at Ouyang Ge, then looked at the officers and soldiers on the surrounding boat, and finally asked.

"Do you have to drive the submarine into the cave? What if the submarines are full of them, what should I do if they can't get in?" asked the first mate on the boat.

"We drove into the cave to avoid plane bombing. There are no berths inside, but there are still waterways in and out. We can park the submarines on the waterway in and out." Li Sidao.

"How to detonate the explosives?" Ouyang Ge asked not very much about escape, but he was worried that the explosives in the submarine would not explode after the escape. Everything he did was in vain.

"The explosive will explode regularly. Not only will it be connected to the submarine's battery, but the starter also has its own battery. It will start when evacuated and detonate after half an hour." Li Si said: "In fact, as long as it is started, there is no possibility of damage. Once cracked, it will detonate in advance."

"Okay, I'm overly worried." Submarine Ouyang Ge understood, but when it comes to playing blasting, he didn't understand much. Since the West Factory is so confident, he no longer asked questions he didn't understand. Looking back at the sailor beside him, he smiled and said, "The mission is very simple. Pull the boat into the port, then dive into the u-52 a few hundred meters away, and then bang... Congratulations to everyone, the Double Dragon Medal has been settled."

Li Si said so seriously, but the captain said so easily. For a moment, the officers and soldiers' faces turned red and white, and they were indescribable. The sailor suddenly screamed, "Damn it, I'm afraid of death, I'm not a member of the Revival Society! I promise to bring the dog hole!" As soon as he shouted, the other somewhat confused sailors also came up, and they all shouted that they wanted to bring the dog hole.

"Okay, let's take your place. Remember to be prepared for sacrifice. Under any circumstances, you must obey the command and not panic. Now change your clothes immediately. If you have poor water quality, it's best to look forward to your lifebuoy and swim faster later." Ouyang Ge ordered: "Discard all personal belongings except pistols. Have you heard of them?"

"Yes, sir!" the sailors answered in unison.

"Speak louder!" The sailors' voices were already loud enough just now, but Ouyang Ge was not satisfied. He hoped that their voices would be louder so that they could vent their fear and anxiety.

"Yes, sir!!" This time the sound was rumbling. Not to mention the entire submarine, even the U-52 that followed it was heard. And Denitz and Muller, who were still sleeping on the sailor ship, were also awakened. They had doubts for two nights: For example, why did this Chinese submarine officer let him go? The submarine space was small, so except for the captain and other few officers, the rest of the non-commissioned officers and sailors slept in hot beds. Why could he sleep alone as a prisoner? Why did the British send themselves to this submarine, where would the submarine take him?

In the past thirty hours, Denitz was discussing these issues with his first mate Mueller. Mueller's speculation was that many people in China had a good impression of Germany, and they would declare war on the empire only if they were fooled by Britain. Although such an explanation could not completely eliminate Denitz's doubts, Denitz himself had no other better explanation.

"It's going to be dawn, gentlemen." After discussing with Li Si, Ouyang Ge appeared in front of the two with several people wearing German naval sailor suits. "I am honored to inform you that you will be free today."

"Really?". Listening to the German words prominent in Ouyang Ge's mouth, Dunitz and Muller were incredible. They stood up from the bunk in excitement, and talked for a while before they asked this question.

"Yes. But before that, you will have a few hours of hard work." Ouyang Ge said. "In fact, the commander of another department believes that you should be executed. But I think that officers should have the honor of officers, and that it is against my principles to make you die inexplicably. But in order to save your lives, I promise him that you will not destroy our actions."

"Action..." The confused German didn't know what he was saying.

"Gentlemen, we are now outside the Port of Bola. The order my command given to me is to sneak into the Port of Bola and sink the enemy ships." It is about to take action. Ouyang Ge told the truth, "I need two people to stand on the bridge and make the destroyers outside the port think we are German submarines. Then, when I enter the port and complete the mission, you will be released."

The answer was finally revealed, when Dunitz and Muller wanted to say no. He and Muller were controlled by sailors. A violent pain on their chins, and then they could not say anything. He wrote in his later memoirs: ‘…The cunning Chinese deceived us at first and said they wanted to cast Muller and me, but in fact they needed Muller and I to stand on the bridge and deceived the guard boat outside the port. When I learned that this despicable conspiracy was about to resist, they used something similar to witchcraft to control Muller and me, and we became unable to speak, and our hands were re-coated. In order to confuse the guard boat, we were bandaged. Finally they were lifted onto the bridge...’

"Gentlemen, don't struggle, you won't suffer." Ouyang Ge, who was standing at the entrance of the stairs, advised.

Under the German Navy, Dunitz and Muller were cobbled on the bridge one after another. Several white men in German naval officers' uniforms were serking and behind, surrounding them in the middle while pretending to be in a telescope, unable to move. The fishy sea breeze blew the faces of the two. In the past, seeing the extremely familiar Bola coast and the sea breeze was blowing, which was the most wonderful moment in life, but now as the submarine moves forward, the faces of both of them are full of pain.

A destroyer responsible for patrolling outside the port soon discovered the submarine that was lonely back to the port, but it had no doubts at all, let alone inquiring. The flag words it called were actually congratulations on your ship's safe return to the port.

The destroyer on the outermost side was like this. After entering the harbor, there was no doubt about the turrets and lighthouses on both sides. They saw the submarines waving and cheering and celebrating their safe return. The two intelligence agents who temporarily came as signalmen were busy with flag language. Fortunately, their unrigorous behavior was not suspected by the excited people, and no one paid attention to the periscope that was still spinning. At that time, no one expected that the tiger den, which he thought was difficult, would come in without even calling.

The submarine gradually sailed to the berth on the left side of the U-shaped shape. Even with a periscope, Captain Ouyangge could see more and more welcome crowds on the dock, as well as the sergeant bands that were waiting for briskly, which were sailors and port staff who welcomed the safe return of ub-68. According to convention, the sailors on the submarine should be lined up on the submarine at this time to be inspected by everyone.

"Why haven't the Air Force come yet?" Ouyang Ge put down his telescope and looked at Li Si uneasy and said, "If you don't come again, you will be in trouble!"

"It's already here, don't be excited." Li Si was just worried that the submarine would not enter the port, but the alert at Port Bola was so relaxed that he had completely entered the working state. "People are also very important. It's best to wait until they all arrive on the dock and let the planes kill them together."

As soon as Li Si finished speaking, the shrill alarm sounded in the military port and harshly rose. People on the dock looked at the small black dots flying in the air at a very fast speed and fled back to the bunker in panic. However, the speed of the people was still not as fast as the plane. The plane that had already flown very close, suddenly spit out flames from the machine gun, sweeping down the running people one by one, and then roared over the submarine dock to deal with the target inside the military port.

In the extremely chaotic military port, the sound of machine guns, anti-aircraft cannons, and bombs, in order to avoid the bombing of aircraft, U-68 drove to the submarine cave at full speed. After arriving in the cave, Ouyang Ge and Li Si, who were originally observing with a periscope in the bottom cabin, stood on the bridge and kept looking around to determine the parking location of the submarine.

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

Li Si's order was learned to be implemented. The submarine was parked on the side of the main road of the cave. The high-pressure air in the submersible cabin was emptied. When the submarine was halfway down, Ouyang Ge ordered the crew to abandon the boat and escape.

"Thank God, you are actually in!" A sailor thought that the submarine was a comrade who fled in from the enemy's air strike, and couldn't help but thank God loudly. But when he saw that the submarine hatch were all short yellow people, his face suddenly became very surprised.

‘Bobo…’, with a few sound-silenced pistols, the sailors and a few people beside him fell down. Li Si took his team and jumped to the shore, but did not run to the exit, and went to the depths of the cave.

"You've gone wrong!" Ouyang Ge, who also jumped ashore, shouted.

"Nothing went wrong!" Li Si said quickly, "Take your people away quickly, the time has only been set for fifteen minutes!"

"You..." Ouyang Ge was very anxious. He remembered that what he said before was obviously thirty minutes. "Hurry!" Li Si disappeared in a blink of an eye. He had to take the sailors to the entrance of the cave, and his chin was dislocated and his hands were tied to the hands of Denitz and Muller, who were rushing to the front of the team.

A few hundred meters away was just two minutes away. The planes outside were still circling and raging. The anti-aircraft guns at the port did not pose much threat to them. Some Austro-Hungarian Air Forces, who were facing the enemy, were shot down by the planes without any effort. The burning body fell to the water surface, causing a large splash of water. Ouyang Ge did not look in the air, but he only watched him come in. At this time, the U-52, which was half submersed on the water surface of the port, was the only hope for escape. (To be continued...)
