In the dim battleship hull, in a narrow corridor, two electric welding workers are welding a broken steel bar in the waist-waisted seawater. As long as the area is repaired to isolate the seawater, the water pump in the back can pump out the water here. Go, so that the warship can at least drag back to the port with serious injuries.

Damage managers, that is, maintenance workers who are responsible for the rescue and relief of warships, they are like the doctors of the warships, and they are an indispensable part of a warship. However, it can be said that these damage managers are one of the most dangerous occupations, because they often appear in the underwater part of the battleship and work in the damaged place.

"Hey! George! I heard that we didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, we were hit!" A damage manager shouted loudly with a tool in his hand, and the sparks from the wire burst out from time to time, looking It's scary.

"Shut up! Frank! Do you still think our situation is not bad enough? This **** sealed door is leaking! It's leaking!" While pounding the twisted door, George complained loudly: "I only know that there was This thing broke through two decks in one breath and exploded about 20 meters in front. With curiosity, it is better to think about how to block this **** door! "

"The steel bar is here! We brought the steel bar!" Two damage managers wearing helmets and life jackets came over carrying a steel bar and waist-waisted water, and then said aloud: "It was a German plane that was bombed To us, I really didn't expect their plane to carry such a big bomb. "

"Frank! Come on, this steel bar is on the door. You and me, we two used tools to smooth the door! You used these things to block the remaining gap!" George began to assign tasks, a few damage managers Start busy.

"George!" A sergeant in the distance shouted loudly: "The lower layer has blocked the gap! The pump has started pumping ... The captain asked about the loss. Are there any problems on your side?"

There was a burst of cheers in the cabin immediately, knowing that your warship can continue to float on the sea, which is indeed a very exciting thing. Although everyone is still soaking in the cold water, but it suddenly feels a lot warmer .

"It's a trifle, we can block this door in about 20 minutes ... As for the damage, we have to contact the person on the stern to know how many cabins were destroyed." George looked at the cheering staff and replied loudly Tao: "There is only one remaining boiler room. If the damage outside is not serious, we can probably estimate that we can open 7 more sections."

"Can't be faster anymore? George ... The Germans are bombarding us. We need to increase our speed, otherwise we will be hit again." The sergeant asked again anxiously.

George shook his head: "Tell me to the captain! He knows what to do. Also tell him that if he is hit by such a bomb again, the battleship will sink!"

"I see! Please make sure that the warship is under water control. Let's go home together!" The sergeant nodded and said. After talking, he climbed up the hollow iron stairs and walked to the upper deck.

As a senior damage manager who had participated in the repair of the lion battle cruiser, George was not as excited as these recruits. He tapped the pipe around him with the wrench in his hand and issued a command loudly: "According to my Arrange! Work quickly! "

The influx of seawater is getting slower and slower, and the scary tilt of the entire battleship has just gradually recovered. It seems that the battleship is saved. George took a long sigh of relief, then grabbed the sea of ​​oil floating on it and washed his face indiscriminately.

He leaned against the cold wall, and then he felt the pain in his knee. He has served on battleships for many years, and most of them are accompanied by icy water. His legs have severe rheumatism, and he may have committed it again.

"Sir! There is no more danger here! You go up." Frank said with a smile while starting the pump: "If there is any problem, I will go up and call you. After a while, the drainage will start, and the problem will not be too great."

George nodded, stood up from the leaning against the wall, stepped over the cold iron stairs by the cold water, step by step. As he walked up, he stretched out his greasy palm and held the handrail of the stairs. This battleship has been in service for a full 9 years. At the age of 50, he experienced a battle. It is a few old guys on this battleship.

He walked up the stairs, looked at the twisted walls and the ceiling penetrated by the bomb, listening to the loud explosions outside. Removed the hanging work clothes from the wall, then took out a cigarette from the work clothes pocket, took out a cigarette and put it on the mouth.

"George! Captain let you go up when you have time. He wants to know the details of the damage this time!" A sailor ran over and said to George.

George nodded, and as the sailor walked up, when they had just arrived outside the gate of the bridge, they suddenly heard a desperate cry from the lookout whistle on the mast above his head: "Torpedo! Port! Torpedo ! There is a torpedo coming to us on the port side. "

A huge explosion followed, and George held the railing on the battleship staircase with his hand, and finally stabilized his body. When he turned back, he found that the sailor who sent him had fallen from the bridge over a dozen meters high. On the deck.

This battleship is over! This thought passed through George's mind in an instant. He hurriedly opened the bridge door and saw that the **** captain was being bandaged by the military doctor. The messy command bridge can be described as a mess. These officers have just got up from the ground. The explosion just made the newly restored command paralyzed again.

"Captain! This ship is about to sink! You must evacuate people immediately! Organize the soldiers to board the lifeboat, otherwise it will be too late!" George said loudly as soon as he entered. He didn't want to die, he had to go back to British Isles to see his little grandson who hadn't seen each other in a few years.

Just as he was speaking, a few tens of meters below his feet, seawater poured into chambers one after another. The soldiers inside were submerged in the icy water before they could escape. The desperate soldiers knocked on the twisted sealed door. They couldn't open the iron doors that were damaged by the vibration, they could only watch the seawater pouring in and slowly wait for death.

The seawater with blood and broken parts rammed into the body of the battleship, flooding wherever it passed, and the damage to the crew was too late to block the cracks and gaps, and the seawater was poured into the new cabin, and more soldiers also damaged the crew Directly submerged in seawater, it is too late to escape.

Frank, who had just talked and laughed with George, had his head crushed by the collapsed steel bars, and the other two damage managers beside him cracked again because of the place they just blocked, and the sudden influx of seawater was flooded. Dead in the cabin, they didn't even have time to run to the stairs that were less than 5 meters away.

"Immediately! Immediately! Abandon the ship! Captain!" George said, staring at the captain of the stunned Malaya battleship. "If you hesitate for a while, there will be hundreds of people who will die in vain! "

"The explosion just now may have been killed! Not necessarily underwater! I have no right to order the abandonment of such an important battleship in this unknown situation!" Said the captain, pushing away the doctor.

"No matter what the explosion is! The damage to this ship is enough for it to sink! I just came up from below! It has not been repaired there, and now there is such a big shock that it should have been completely finished there!" George Hysteria Shouted: "I beg you! Give the soldiers below ..."

He hadn't finished his words yet. A pen on the chart table fell to the ground. Everyone looked at the pen and was shocked and speechless. This warship just released water to the other side a few minutes ago, stabilizing the warship's roll, but now the roll has appeared again, indicating that the previous efforts have been in vain, and the entire warship is indeed in danger of sinking.

"Send a message to all the posts! Let them evacuate! Order the boiler cabin to shut off power and all the personnel on the deck! The air defense weapons continue to fight back, and everyone must wear a life jacket." The captain finally glanced at George: "You lead the damage control personnel Let's go down and take a look at the damage. If ... I mean, if there is a possibility of rescue, please try hard. "

Then he turned to his first officer: "Send a signal to the USS Eagle, saying that our ship is sinking. Please organize rescue work."

"Captain! The middle of the hull was shot. There are many cabins with sound pipes and telephone lines that have been damaged! Many people in the cabins may not get the order to abandon the ship to escape." George did not leave, but reminded loudly Own captain.

"Send someone to notify each cabin immediately! If the water gets in, shout loudly for 3 minutes! Make sure to rescue most of them." The captain closed his eyes helplessly because he had seen his command bridge tilted to Quite seriously.

Several officers ran out of the bridge frantically. They were ordered to find the unreachable personnel and lead them to escape. George also hurried down the stairs. When he just returned to the main deck, he saw a crowd of sailors abandoning the ship and jumping sea. More people crowded around the lifeboat, and from time to time heard gunshots and warnings from the gendarmerie.

George wanted to go down to the inside of the hull to find Frank and others, but found that the stairs he got up were already full of sea water. He looked around and wanted to find the figure of his colleague from the crowd, but he found all this in vain, because the surroundings became a pot of porridge, and it was not the time to find someone.

He was pushed to the side railing by the crowd. He saw that the side rail that was once far away from the sea is now less than three meters away. There is floating oil on the surface of the sea, and there are dense and dense. British sailor. Just when he wanted to turn around, he was pushed off the boat by the crowd and hit the head of the person below. He choked on the salty, astringent icy water, struggling to surface, and suddenly saw the top of a tall mast, and the British navy's flag fell.
