Chapter 1118 Deep Diving Support Vessel
A deep-diving support ship is simply a submarine that can dive and provide artillery support to the shore in the offshore.
This thing is generally used for planetary suppression, regular patrols, etc., and is equipped with a troop transport cabin enough to hold fifty people.
Although it is an antique from thirty years ago, it has complete ammunition, good mechanical structure, and long-term maintenance to allow it to leave port without any problems.
Moreover, diving close can avoid being discovered by the Red Maple Republic fleet in low-Earth orbit to the greatest extent. As long as you are not particularly unlucky to encounter the maritime power deployed by the Red Maple Republic to suppress the planet, it should not be a problem.
But the question is, who will open it?
"So, is this the reason for me to get up early?"
You can hear the low blood pressure on Li Chengqi's face from his voice.
"After all, you have the best driving skills and can sail fully automatically."
"Flattering me won't change the fact that I feel like shit right now."
Alyssa waved her hand:
"Yes, I felt the same way when you always made your own decisions before."
"..."
Operating a submarine is no easier than operating a void battleship. The biggest difference is that this thing does not have a reactor, which is equivalent to an enlarged and diving Manta Ray.
In the past, Lieutenant Duy's commander was the one who drove this thing out for fishing. He didn't know how to drive it at all, and it was too late to read the manual from scratch.
It's up to the almighty Li Chengqi to come and help.
Just put the startup disk up and the rest will be fully automatic. It feels good not to have to worry about it.
In order to avoid being discovered as much as possible, the operation time was chosen in the latter half of the night. While it was the latter half of the night on Alyssa's side, it was just after five o'clock in the morning on Li Chengqi's side.
He usually doesn't get up until after eight o'clock, so it's no wonder he looks hypotensive.
But having said that, although Li Chengqi is rude, this driving experience is still quite interesting.
The feel of driving a submarine is completely different from driving a shuttle or even a battleship. The feedback from the joystick makes people feel as smooth as a fish.
However, the submarine is underwater and cannot turn on the lights to prevent being discovered. It can only move forward in night vision mode. Navigation is a big problem.
For this reason, Alyssa would put the periscope out to the sea every time she advanced, and use the ancient method of sextant to determine the direction based on the stars, so as not to run around without knowing where to go.
The target is a few raw materials needed on the list. There are not many things, but they are definitely not something that one or two people can move, and they are definitely very dangerous.
Lieutenant Dui and ten soldiers joined this mission. Alyssa originally planned to bring Long and Sophia, two of them with high combat effectiveness, but Shanafia had to come with her, considering that this girl could not even take a bullet to her head. It’s so weird that it doesn’t matter, just bring it with you.
So a total of 15 people, plus the golem named Benben, formed the entire operational manpower.
The plan is simple. Everyone takes the submarine to the dock, then finds the warehouse near the dock, looks for the needed items, and then returns to the ship.
It's that simple.
After all, the warehouse is right near the dock, so there really isn't anything that requires special planning. And it's dangerous...
This has to be said about the assault landing ship that flies over the submarine from time to time.
The people on this livable planet have not stopped resisting. When Alyssa listened with a passive communicator, she could occasionally hear the ground troops of the Spin Water Federation trying to organize a counterattack. However, because the low-Earth orbit is now occupied by the Red Maple Republic, , ground counterattack force is very difficult.
In addition, the Red Maple Republic dispatched a large number of assault landing ships, carrying soldiers and heavy ground equipment to clean up the resistance activities. It seems that this means that it does not intend to leave and is preparing to completely occupy the planet.
Of course, this is also a long process. Now that the Red Maple Republic has not yet established a stable footing, it is a good time to take action.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The submarine sank and floated all the way to the dock a hundred kilometers away from the base. The periscope first poked its head out from the water and took a closer look.
There used to be a lot of civilian ships on this pier, but now most of them have been turned into fragments. It can be seen from the wreckage that artillery and ion beams have been raging. It is estimated that the Red Maple Republic has cleaned them up.
After confirming that there was no threat, the submarine slowly surfaced with its bow facing the dock, like a killer whale emerging from the water.
Immediately afterwards, the top of the ship's bow opened to reveal the internal cabin, and a temporary bridge made of folded metal plates was just built on the dock.
Accompanied by the subtle beep of the electric motor, several lightly armed vehicles drove out from the cabin and landed steadily on the road at the dock.
Among all ground vehicles, the flying motorcycle is undoubtedly the best in terms of passability, and it can be easily transformed into a two-seat, four-seat or even six-seat model.
But the problem is that the noise of the flying motorcycle is really loud, and when the engine starts, it is enough to wake up the entire street.
It would be a bit risky to drive this thing when you need to carry out secret activities, so Alyssa and the others drove a four-wheeled light scooter, which was shaped somewhat like an ATV or a three-wheeler.
Although this thing has a machine gun, it has basically no protection and looks unreliable, but it can run faster than two legs anyway, making it the most suitable fast-moving vehicle.
After all five vehicles were driven out, the submarine closed the hatch and sank directly in the port to avoid being discovered by possible patrol aircraft and the like.
The rest is up to Alyssa and the others. Li Chengqi is only responsible for sending people over.
The warehouse is near the port, which is convenient for loading, unloading and transporting goods. The problem is, this neighborhood is definitely not a neighborhood in a personal sense.
As a local, Lieutenant Duy drove the car at the front and led the way, while Alyssa followed behind. She glanced at the streets destroyed by artillery. From time to time, she could see broken human limbs. At one point, there was even a cry for help in the ruins. The illusion of sound.
Compared to Alyssa and the others, who are outsiders, the garrison in the base is very familiar with this port. They will definitely come here to have fun during holidays. They even remember which shop on each street has good food and which shop has girls. Correction, and how difficult their brother and father are to mess with,
But all of this was lost in the flames and smoke.
Although it was not subjected to orbital bombardment, it was definitely bombarded by the assault landing ship. It was almost impossible to find anything familiar in the memory.
Everyone held the gun tightly, as if they were afraid that their impulse would cause the gun to go off, and as if they were suppressing the fire that was burning quietly in their hearts.
Alyssa was even more worried about the technical and tactical level of this group of soldiers who usually didn't seem to be very reliable, lest she lead a group of rookies into the patrol of the Red Maple Republic.
But it might really be the crow’s mouth. The more Alyssa worries about something, the more it will happen.
A beam of searchlight light suddenly appeared on the street in the distance. Only then did everyone notice that in the sky, an assault landing ship was slowly drifting past. Although it did not find everyone now, if it continued to move forward, I am afraid it would Face to face with it.
