Chapter 1144: Underwater raid

The Smart-class nuclear submarine has stopped all engine work, and the British liaison officer is giving a final explanation to Lin Rui and others.
"We have found them. The Zumwalt class destroyer is entering the predetermined position. They will pause in this area for twelve minutes to avoid the search by the US reconnaissance satellite. So these twelve minutes will be your only chance. You guys. The entire team uses a closed loop diving system, because it will not leave bubbles underwater, which leads to sonar detection.
In terms of long-distance water movement, we have prepared the best diving transport vehicle for you, as long as one mk6 underwater propeller can carry 4 divers and related equipment. This kind of propulsion device is safe and silent, not easy to be found. But even so, your time is very tight. "
The British liaison officer said in a deep voice, "Remember to maintain communication as much as possible after boarding the ship. Through the camera on the battlefield recorder, we can give you remote command and assistance."
Lin Rui shrugged, checked the diving suit, and buttoned the mask on his face. "Prepare for action." Lin Rui made a gesture, holding the oxygen tank and laying it into the torpedo launching pipe. After the pipeline was closed, water was injected and pressurized, and Lin Rui could only climb out inside the pipeline full of seawater.
The team members came out one by one, like a group of black fish. They quickly opened the equipment compartment on the side of the submarine and dragged out their weaponry and mk6 underwater propellers from it.
The lights on the thrusters were turned on, illuminating a hazy area underwater. Lin Rui quickly gestured to his teammates. Several people activated the underwater propellers, and the propellers began to work, leading them to sneak forward. They are not fast, because they must remain absolutely quiet.
The sonar group on the Zumwalt-class destroyer is extremely sensitive. Although a group of anti-frogman sonar instruments is missing, it is still possible to spot them. Therefore, when Lin Rui and others hung on the mk6 underwater propeller, there was tension 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. They have eight minutes left. Maybe in eight minutes, the Zumwalt-class destroyer will set sail again."
"I hope they can succeed." The British liaison officer whispered.
There is basically no visibility underwater, and the lights of the thrusters can only illuminate a small area. Lin Rui and others leaned on the propeller and slowly approached the target parked on the water.
"Frogman" underwater penetration is one of the most dangerous but effective methods of amphibious special operations. Normally, 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 sneaking in the deep sea, there is a risk of lung crushing at any time.
Approaching the target within 500 meters, Lin Rui made a gesture to the companions behind him. They rose to a relatively easy height, but they were also adventurous enough. It was only over a hundred meters, and Lin Rui and the others had already removed the equipment from the propeller mount.
Finally they completed their ascent near the ship, and Lin Rui felt that blood was leaking from his nose.
Because during scuba diving, the various cavities in the human body, such as the lung, are equivalent to a balloon. Unlike a balloon with a constant volume in the 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 full balloon may explode if it continues to expand. This is why some people rupture their alveoli and die 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. At this time, if it rises rapidly, the solubility of nitrogen decreases rapidly, and a large number of bubbles suddenly appear in the blood without time to be discharged from the body and block in the blood vessels. This is called reverse embolism. It can cause pain in the least, necrosis of the joints and muscles, and even loss of life.
Lin Rui felt that his ascent speed was not too fast, but his mind was still a little dizzy. But they were short of time, and the Zumwalt-class destroyer was right in front of them, and Lin Rui couldn't think about it too much.
He stretched out his hand back, and the 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 in an instant and got stuck.
Lin Rui tried hard and climbed up this rope. Their location is a platform for helicopters moored behind the ship. The Zumwalt class destroyer has two helipads behind the hull. Lin Rui quickly climbed up, and then guided his teammates up one by one.
He lifted the mask, dropped the heavy diving equipment and fins, and looked around vigilantly. "I'm already up. Zhao Jianfei, how are you doing?"
"We are on the other side. According to the plan, we will go to the ship's power engine room. You go to control the ship's commander." 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 made a gesture to the team members behind him, and then led the team forward to touch it.
In the base on Diego Garcia Island, the joint operations headquarters of the United States and Britain are also watching the development of the entire operation.
"They succeeded. The two teams boarded the ship at the same time, and the enemy seemed unaware of it." A US military correspondent reported.
"Good job." 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 correspondent replied.
"Tell the Agile-class submarines that their mission is not over yet. Continue to stay within a safe range and keep an eye on the Walter-class destroyers. We must retain the possibility of final strikes. If they fail, then I can only do this." The U.S. commander spoke slowly.
"This is a Walter-class destroyer, and there are many British soldiers on board. Are we really going to sink it?" an officer whispered.
"Those are the rebels! They betrayed their country. And this is also the order of the Ministry of National Defense. The destruction of this ship is indeed huge. But compared to the outflow of some sensitive technology to hostile countries, the loss is still controlled. Within a certain range.
We can't fully believe in the capabilities of these mercenaries. If they fail, we can only do so. Otherwise, we are likely to lose the Walter-class destroyer completely. "The base commander said slowly.
