"Huh? What are you doing here?"
Fang, the leader of the cooking team, was surprised to see Li Zheng and Hou Jun entering the kitchen.
"Help with the cooking." Li Zheng said, "Both of us are embarrassed to stay on the submarine with nothing to do."
Lao Fang chuckled and said, "I don't think you are embarrassed. Are you afraid that you will get sick from boredom?"
Hou Jun said: "Lao Fang, don't tell me, you are really going to get sick from boredom."
Lao Fang said: "You two have been like this for less than a week since we went to sea. It will take us at least thirty days to go out. You are members of the special forces, and your mental quality is so poor?"
Hou Jun laughed and said: "You can't say that, there has to be an adaptation period, right? We are members of the special forces, but we are not supermen. We have to be locked in such an iron can for several days without training, and there is a wheel next door to sleep. The cabin almost made me noisy to death. You said that if I don't find something to do these days, I will go crazy."
Lao Fang said: "Actually, we don't have much work to do here. If there are too many people crowded here, we can't do anything. When it comes to cutting vegetables, you are not good at it. I think so, you just stay at the door. , if I need any ingredients, you can go to the storage warehouse to get some for me, and when it’s time to eat, you can just deliver the dishes there.”
The so-called food delivery is actually a plate of food and rice. Some submarines have restaurants, but they are only available on new models.
This submarine is an old model, so there is no dedicated restaurant. The officers eat in the conference room, and the soldiers sit on the floor in their accommodation cabins to eat.
But a submarine is a special combat equipment after all. There must be personnel on duty in various cabins on the boat at all times, such as those in charge of sonar, those in charge of torpedoes, and those guarding the engine. These cannot leave their posts, so they must The other soldiers on the boat sent it over, and when eating, they sat cross-legged on the ground and ate.
Lao Fang is a veteran on the boat, a third-term petty officer. He has worked in this position on the boat for more than ten years. He is extremely enthusiastic, with a round face and a bright red face, and he is cheerful and familiar with everyone he meets.
During the meal on the first day, Lao Fang took the initiative to greet Li Zheng and the others and introduced himself. He also told them to let them evaluate his craftsmanship. When he arrived, he did not forget to boast that the captain of the fleet had eaten His meals are said to be well cooked.
In fact, the food of submarine soldiers is quite good, ranking among the best among all branches of the military.
Among the many branches of the Navy, including the Navy, Army, Air Force, Rocket Force and Strategic Support Force, the food quality of the Navy is already high, but what many people don’t know is that the food in the Navy is also divided into four standards, and the food of the submarine force belongs to the fourth category of food. , the same level as naval aviation.
The PLA's submarine soldiers' meals are now very rich. After years of improvement, from the original canned food to the current canned food combined with other kinds of fresh food, it has developed more than 120 kinds of room temperature collective food, quick-frozen food, etc. Group food, fresh and frozen group food.
Like the officers and soldiers on surface ships, the most precious things when going to sea are green leafy vegetables and fruits.
Since fresh water is limited, the rice, vegetables, and fruits carried on the submarine have been processed in advance and can be directly put into the pot and eaten.
After going to sea, we usually eat rice, noodles, vegetables, and fruits first, and canned food at the end. Because vegetables have a short shelf life, ordinary vegetables can only be stored for 15 days in the low-temperature warehouse on the boat. Later, a method of filling nitrogen in sealed bags was developed. To keep vegetables fresh, they can only be stored for 45 days.
Fortunately, this submarine will not go too far. This trip to a certain southern sea area is also mainly for training and lasts 45 days. Therefore, the soldiers on the submarine can eat fresh vegetables throughout the whole journey, which is considered a relatively happy thing.
Relying on the help of the cook, Li Zheng stayed in the boat for another two days.
Just after lunch that day, I received a notice from the boat that it was about to arrive at the predetermined sea area. Let everyone in the Jiaolong team be prepared. It is expected to enter the planned coordinates at around 7 o'clock in the evening, where an underwater infiltration assault will be carried out. train.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
But there was a hint of excitement in the tension.
The moment Li Zheng was looking forward to finally arrived.
Tonight, you can verify whether you can overcome the psychological barriers and pass the underwater subject test, and whether you can possess amphibious warfare capabilities.
As for the arrival time at night, this adds a lot of difficulty to the subject.
Li Zheng had received relevant training in the underwater penetration subject. To put it simply, it was a long-range penetration penetration subject for the special forces team. They were deployed near the target by taking a submarine, and dropped the team from the target a few kilometers away from the coastline. On the seabed, after entering the water, the team will use micro underwater propellers and positioning devices to reach the designated beach and land. After landing, they will carry out reconnaissance, raids, rescue and other operations according to the combat plan.
This subject is an extremely difficult one in underwater combat.
The difficulty lies mainly in two aspects -
One is to leave the cabin. There are two modes of egress in an underwater submarine. One is the submarine dry deck shelter (DDS).
This is a special transport platform carried by a submarine and used for transporting frogman vehicles, frogmen, small UUVs, etc.
Strictly speaking, DDS is not a frogman underwater maneuvering equipment, because it has no power itself and is only mounted on the submarine deck and carried by the submarine.
This kind of vehicle is divided into two modes: dry and wet. It is a high-tech product in the military field. Currently, very few countries in the world have this technology.
Another method is to deliver the special operations team carried in the submarine from a certain depth (usually no more than fifty meters deep). The delivery method is to climb a tube.
In terms of means, of course the DDS carrier cabin model is more advanced, because the carrier cabin can place equipment such as the MK-8 underwater micro-propeller, or load inflatable rubber boats and small frogman carriers.
Climbing out of the torpedo tube, the equipment that can be carried is relatively less than that of the carrying compartment. It is already very good to be able to bring weapons and equipment and small thrusters, and the thrusters cannot be carried too large, because the caliber of the torpedo tube is the largest It's less than one meter.
The reason why the Jiaolong team members conduct this kind of training is not that the PLA does not have similar carrying equipment, but that the special forces must conduct the most primitive combat techniques training at all times.
For example, you can't give up the original way of using the north compass for azimuth travel just because you have Beidou, and you can't stop learning manual map positioning just because you have the coordinate positioning function. This is the same truth.
Sometimes the most primitive things must be learned. It is always more reliable and stable than combat methods obtained by relying on high-tech equipment.
The second difficulty in underwater secret penetration is to perform it underwater in azimuth. To put it bluntly, the nature of the azimuth angle travel on land is the same.
Although positioning devices can also be used underwater, each team member still needs to learn how to use a compass to travel in azimuth underwater.
Positioning and traveling underwater is much more difficult than on land. There are reference objects on land, but the underwater is pitch black and it is easy to lose your sense of direction. You only rely on the compass on your wrist.
Just like the technique of traveling by azimuth on land, a group must have more than two people. One person is responsible for looking at the compass to determine the angle, and the other is responsible for calculating the underwater diving distance. When to correct the angle, the two people need to cooperate with each other.
It is relatively more comfortable to conduct this kind of training during the day. After all, sunlight can also bring some visibility, especially in waters with relatively pure water.
Unfortunately, infiltration often occurs at night, so nighttime underwater infiltration training is the focus of the Jiaolong team's training.
Li Zheng is definitely a master at reading and using maps on the road and traveling according to the azimuth, which has been proven in international competitions.
But while traveling under the water, it was the first time for him to get into a sedan chair as a big girl.
Coupled with the psychological barrier of climbing the tube, this made him the most stressed member of the entire team.
Hou Jun saw Li Zheng's nervousness and comforted him: "I believe you can do it. When you leave the hospital, I will follow you. If you can't, I will help you."
Climbing the tube requires two people to enter the torpedo tube. In fact, Hou Jun said this to put a certain amount of pressure on Li Zheng. He was behind him. If something happened, if Li Zheng couldn't overcome his psychological barrier, he would have to finish it with him. Calf.
Of course Li Zheng understood Hou Jun's painstaking efforts.
"Um!"
He nodded vigorously, making a promise to Hou Jun, and seemed to be making a promise to himself.
"I can definitely do it!"
