Chapter 10 The Secret Cave
Chapter 10 Secret Cave Library
From "preparing to enter the port" to "submarine docking", Lin En had no way to observe the external environment, and could only speculate on the situation from various commands from the command tower cabin: frequent steering in slow floating state means that the submarine was traveling through a winding fjord, and such a voyage lasted nearly two hours, which calculated that the length of the fjord was more than 10 kilometers. Then, the captain ordered the submarine to dive to a depth of 8 meters, and when the submarine was almost completely infiltrated into the water, he
Still staying outside the command tower cabin with his deputy, Lynn imagined such a scene - the submarine only left a small part of the upper end of the command tower cabin on the water surface, and the low entrance made the periscope almost rub against the top of the passage, and the rotating propeller raised churning white water waves in the passage of just the right width. In this way, a German submarine regarded by the Allies as a demon under the sea quietly entered the hidden cave library, leaving only the word "missing" in the data list!
After moving forward in this incomplete submarine for a few minutes, the helmman Lambert received the order to adjust the course three times in a row. After that, the captain's sonorous and steady command sounded from the sound tube: "One-third of the speed is reversed, the crew boarded the deck and prepared to dock!"
When he arrived, he finally arrived. It was like a long-distance bus was about to park in the garage. Lynn was excited, and the curiosity that followed made him want to rush to the deck immediately. But except for Ziegenke and Mottcheg, the naval crew members were the first to go to the deck. After the submarine finally turned off the motor, the SS officers and soldiers used for the bench rotation were asked to return to the cabin to wait for instructions.
When he returned to the torpedo cabin at the stern, all six soldiers from Lynn's subordinates arrived. They all packed their luggage and looked much more relaxed. Taking care of Lynn's injuries, Noah helped him carry the full set of equipment, but the wait was not over. A quarter of an hour later, Captain Motcheg walked from the front cabin to the stern, and announced to the officers and soldiers one by one that "has arrived at the shelter" and said righteously: "Soldiers, from now on, you must regard everyone, everything and everything you see as the absolute secret of the Third Reich, and even if you sacrifice your life, you must not disclose a trace!"
But the more this happened, the more curiosity and excitement in people's hearts became stronger, but Motchig left without giving the order to land. After waiting for another ten minutes, the sound of footsteps and objects rubbing from the front of the cabin. One cabin after another, the order to land was finally passed by the soldiers to the torpedo cabin at the tail of the boat. Although his body was still a little weak, Linn raised his chest, took a step, and walked generously in front of the soldiers, walked from the tail of the boat to the near command cabin, and then climbed out of the hatch along the vertical passage...
The dazzling light emitted by dozens of high-power incandescent lamps made the outer space of the submarine look like daytime. When his eyes slightly adapted to the light, Lin Neng immediately looked around "greedily". The four walls were flat and the stone-like space was larger than imagined. The arc dome, which was more than 20 meters high, made it look like a temple hall, making people feel deeply that they were insignificant. Even this submarine, which was nearly 100 meters long, was placed in it, but the thin scales of fish and the hairs of birds!
In this jaw-dropping cave, most of the water is emitting a dark luster, which looks bottomless. There are quay docks on all sides, including cranes, gantry cranes and other necessary facilities for loading and unloading heavy objects. They are also laid with crisscrossing rails, but they are not as numerous bunkers as seen in Konisburg and Stettin Ports, and there are strict gun barrels. Only a few posts are walking back and forth on the posts. The innermost dock is also a row of embedded docks and hoisting equipment. Some engineers in military uniforms are working there, with the welding light shining and looking quite sci-fi.
Looking back, the passage into the cave was as low and secret as Lynn thought. The water surface could flood it with a few meters. Without special control equipment, it seemed that it could only enter and exit submarines and small boats. There were more than ten submarines parked in the cave at this time, and they occupied only a corner. If most of the water surface was to be filled, at least three or four hundred submarines were needed.
Walking along the deck, Lynn saw crystal clear coldness hanging on the submarine railings, and ice accumulations on the machine guns and deck guns. Although there was no warmth in the huge cave, at least there was no cold wind whistling, the submarine was like a walker entering the room from the wind and snow, with a deep chill all over his body. Captain Weister took off his waterproof jacket and held a black pipe in his mouth. Jun Song stood by the submarine command tower cabin silently watching the soldiers and crew landing. As a submarine commander, he had already fulfilled his duties, but as a soldier, at the end of the war, his fate was different from most Germans who were about to put down his weapons. Where will the future road lead, he and his submarine still have to wait.
When he was approaching, Lynn took the opportunity to salute Captain Weister. Perhaps because of his long-term relationship, the submarine commander looked pale, but he nodded slightly in response.
Ziggenke, who had landed in advance, stood in front of the railway tracks, where a freight train with three flatbed cars was parked. The size of the car was no different, but the front was much smaller than an ordinary coal-fired locomotive, and there was no tall chimney. I thought it was a more efficient internal combustion engine. Next to Ziggenke stood a slightly shorter officer with triangular eyes. He was wearing a thick dark gray coat of the National Wehrmacht in winter. His military cap and coat were spotless. He wore a cross with silver oak leaves on the collar. His chest was high, and his eyes were sweeping back and forth between the soldiers who had landed one after another. As for Captain Motcheg, he was calling on the landing soldiers to stack weapons and equipment on the last car of the freight train, and then stood on standby according to their respective units.
Seeing Lin En stepping over the pedal, SS Captain Qing raised his right eyebrows, and then said in a stern manner: "The firearms, ammunition, bayonets and other combat equipment and unrelated supplies are all put into the carriage, and only personal important items are carried with you!"
After getting off the submarine, he walked about ten meters away and the soldiers put their weapons and equipment into the car without any effort. Lin En, who was a mere six men, lined up in the order of military ranks, took a moment to inspect his strong combat team, and he turned around and retreated to the left.
After the SS soldiers and naval crews who came on the submarine had already assembled at the dock, Motchig and Captain Weisser stepped forward to report: "The 4th team of the 2nd Echelon of the Aryan Ark Program have arrived now, with 32 ss combatants, one person was seriously injured and died of treatment in the middle of the journey, and the remaining 31 people arrived; all 26 members of the u-396 were here!"
Through the echoes from the four walls of the cave, the voice seemed particularly thick and powerful, and also added to the solemnity and solemnity in people's hearts.
The Wehrmacht officer standing beside Ziggenke took a step forward, glanced at the queue of more than 50 people in full with his bright eyes, and said, "Loyal Imperial Warriors, I would like to pay tribute to you on behalf of our great head of state! The arduous voyage has ended successfully. From today on, your life chapter will turn a new page!"
Lynn thought there would be important things and discipline announcements next, but he didn't expect that the officer just raised his hand to the soldiers properly, then turned around and said to Chignke, Motchger and Weister: "Get on the bus and set off!"
Under the command of the two captains, the SS soldiers boarded the first carriage, the submarine crew boarded the second carriage, and the Wehrmacht officer and Ziggenke boarded the front of the motorcycle. They stood on the railing passage outside the cab and looked back from time to time. Without a harsh whistle, the front of the motorcycle started buzzingly. It pulled the carriage forward slowly. At the beginning, it was really not much faster than walking, but Lynn and the others would soon know how convenient and labor-saving it is to have such a small train!
After turning in the middle of the dock, the train gradually slowed down and stopped completely in front of a hole that was more than ten meters wide and four or five meters high. There is a movable steel gate here, and the soldiers guarded by the side are all in the Wehrmacht uniforms. They are equipped with mp44 assault rifles and mg42 machine guns using brackets. The dense firepower of the bullets can tear the banned intruders to pieces in a flash.
