Episode 194 [Japanese invasion (5)]
West of Ulleungdo, 700m deep.
A Soryu-class submarine was floating quietly in the deep sea.
The submarine was waiting quietly with its engines not running.
The Combat Intelligence Center (CIC) was quiet. Everyone closed their mouths and listened to the warning sounds made by the sonar equipment.
ping. ping. ping. ping.
It was a warning sound indicating the active sonar signal of the Korean fleet passing directly overhead.
Fortunately, the sound that had been getting closer began to get farther away again.
The submarine was not discovered.
The crew all breathed a sigh of relief.
The distance was quite long and we were hiding under the thermocline where the temperature changed with the engine turned off, but there was no 100% guarantee that we wouldn’t get caught.
“good. “Now is the time for revenge.”
Captain Hisio, who was standing holding the periscope, spoke in a low voice.
Although the place where the submarine was hiding and the battlefield were too far away to participate in the battle, it was impossible to be unaware of the situation on the sea.
Numerous explosions and the sound of the ship sinking could be heard all the way here. And an attack order was issued on low frequency from the retreating fleet.
It was hard to believe, but I couldn’t help but believe it when I saw the Korean fleet passing on the water.
“We are tracking the location of the Korean fleet.”
“Okay, ready to launch torpedoes.”
“Prepare to launch torpedoes!”
Following the captain’s order, the lieutenants immediately gave instructions to the torpedo room.
Other submarines that were still hidden were not attacking.
It was a slightly incomprehensible situation as his ship was a submarine that had entered the deepest part of the Korean Peninsula.
But the captain shook his head. It was no time to think about other submarines.
“After firing all torpedoes in the torpedo tubes, immediately switch to Harpoon missiles. After that, it goes up to the surface and launches the Harpoon missile.”
“All right!”
It was clear that if a torpedo was launched, it would be immediately detected by the Korean fleet. The correct answer was to run away after firing the torpedo, but the captain had no intention of avoiding it.
The fleet had already been defeated. There was no intention to send the Korean fleet like this. He planned to finish off at least one more ship, even if it meant destroying his own ship.
The sailors also went about their mission with pale, stern faces.
“Ready to launch.”
The captain opened his mouth at the words of the operations officer.
“I fired a torpedo…
Kugugugung.
But before he could finish his command, the submarine started making strange noises.
Everyone looked around in surprise.
Kiiik kwajijijik.
The sound didn’t stop. The entire bulkhead of the submarine seemed to scream.
“What’s going on!”
The helmsman who was watching the instrument panel shouted at the captain’s shout.
“There is tremendous pressure on the exterior walls! The ship can’t hold on!”
Quasizik Fuaaaaaa!
The bulkhead collapsed and water spurted out.
Weeeeeee!
Emergency bells rang and red lights flashed.
“Rise above the water! Rise!”
“Key won’t listen!”
The captain shouted frantically, but the answer he received was despairing:
“The torpedo room is flooded! The crew room is flooded…!”
Everywhere started to flood.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
!
People were rolling into the corridors and clinging to pillars and equipment.
“
Oh my god…”
Sonar was already in a daze.
He was the only one on the submarine who knew what had happened.
But he couldn’t believe what he heard.
The screen he was looking at was showing a video in which the computer had analyzed the sound.
Something huge was wrapping around the submarine.
“Could it be that there are monsters living under the sea?”
He raised his head.
Kwazizig.
The outer wall of the hull could be seen cracking. It seemed like I could see something like a frozen, translucent sucker between the pouring water.
Kwasik.
The submarine split in half.
thud! thud!
Parts of the submarine exploded due to water pressure. Everyone inside the ship died at that moment.
And the torpedoes and harpsichords in the torpedo room exploded.
Kwakwakwak!
The translucent tentacles that were wrapping around Ham were startled and let go of Ham.
Rumbling.
The submarine, split in half, began to slowly sink, spewing out floaters.
Tentacles gathered in one place. A huge translucent hat appeared above the tentacles.
What destroyed the submarine was an incredibly large jellyfish.
The jellyfish began moving again, following the sinking ship.
I came up for a while because I heard a loud noise, and I felt like I needed to take something.
The giant jellyfish wrapped its tentacles around the sinking submarine and began to go down.
To the nest where you and your companions live.
***
The 7th Mobile Battle Group safely returned to the East Sea Naval Base.
The fleet was worried about being attacked by Japanese submarines, but there were no submarine attacks during the return trip.
Instead, I just heard the sound of something breaking deep in the ocean.
The fleet hastily supplied missiles and activated radar to prepare for an enemy counterattack.
However, there was no counterattack from Japan.
The 2nd and 3rd Escort Forces, which were approaching the South Sea, turned their bows to the east and their fighter planes did not fly toward Korea.
There was no surprise attack by enemy submarines.
That day, the media covered the topic and the people cheered. Many countries around the world were puzzled by the unexpected result.
However, the Korean military headquarters was puzzled by the sudden ceasefire.
This was because there was no reason for the war to end yet.
But soon they could hear the monsters rampaging in Tokyo, Japan.
bang!
The Army Chief of Staff slammed the desk and spoke passionately.
“We must land in Japan immediately. An opportunity like this will never come again. Just release a few mechanized divisions and we can conquer Japan!” A heated debate was taking place in the situation room of the National Crisis Management Center.
However, it was completely different from the dark atmosphere I felt when I first heard that Japan was attacking.
“It is impossible to attack mainland Japan now. It is difficult to receive positive response internationally, and moreover, there are no preparations for landing or ships to transport supplies.”
Both the general who supported landing in Japan and the minister who opposed it all had bright faces.
“Why not just requisition a civilian ship? I can’t miss this opportunity…”
The Army Chief of Staff was excited.
The Navy won a resounding victory, and the Air Force also had good results.
But in the meantime, the army was just watching the battle on the ground.
From the beginning, the army was no match for Japan. I was confident that I would wipe out everything as soon as I got to the surface of Japan.
In the meantime, there was no possibility of landing, so there was no expectation. Rather, they only worked hard to plan a defensive strategy, but they achieved a landslide victory.
“We need time to prepare for the amphibious assault. First, the general must create an operation plan. “Let’s talk later.”
The general had no choice but to agree with the president’s words. He shook his butt as soon as the president finished speaking.
“More than that, I heard that EV was of great help this time too.”
“According to your navy, the power of the Awakened is great.”
“Thank you, but I think things will be more complicated.”
I had no idea what would happen if this rumor spread.
“Those missiles were also incredibly effective. “Is it impossible to purchase it?”
If replication was possible, it was clear that Korea’s missiles would go up several levels.
However, it was promised to be used only for this war. And the president didn’t have the courage to break his promise to EV.
It was then.
Bad news came into the situation room.
“It is said that four Jang Bogo-class submarines and three Son Won-il class submarines are missing. “Other submarines are in a hurry to return to port.”
The situation room, which had been bright for a while, was frozen solid.
“Could this be the reason the Japanese submarines didn’t attack?”
“I guess so.”
The Navy Chief of Staff nodded to the President’s question.
“There is something under the water.”
Everyone seemed to know what it was. Invasion of Japan was no longer the problem.
A monster appeared from under the sea.
***
The moment when the Korean people cheer.
Tokyo, Japan was being devastated by a monster.
It was a monster resembling an earthworm that had appeared once before.
But now the monster is several times bigger than the monster back then.
When the monster swung its body, small buildings collapsed and high-rise buildings also collapsed as it wrapped around its body.
The damage to buildings was more severe when the monster passed underground. The monster dug into the ground and all the buildings in the area it passed through collapsed. People in shelters heard about the situation on the Internet and broadcasts and began escaping out of Tokyo.
Roads were blocked and looting took place.
The Japanese had numerous manuals prepared and calmly followed the manuals even in crisis situations.
However, a manual for this situation has not been created.
And the prime minister and government officials who were supposed to maintain order and lead the people were all eaten by the monster in the prime minister’s residence.
There were people who tried to save people, but they ended up dying after being beaten by the mob and the Yakuza.
Tokyo was filled with nothing but chaos.
Director Daigo was standing in front of the building holding a long spear.
Smoke rising from all over the city caught the director’s eyes. Screams were heard from afar, and families were seen running away with their children.
He looked back.
The museum buildings were still safe.
But there was no way to know when the mob would attack.
Now, the Tokyo National Museum here is empty.
Employees had already been evacuated and all of their families were leaving Tokyo.
But he couldn’t leave this museum. He had been the director of this museum for a long time.
He became the museum director as a sort of demotion, but after serving as director for a long time, he truly came to love the museum and its artifacts. Even though all the employees were evacuated, there still had to be someone to protect them.
“Maybe they just chose this place to die.”
It was impossible for a middle-aged man to get involved in that messy evacuation route anyway.
If the mob attacked, I planned to make a last stand with this spear, a relic from the Sengoku period.
But unfortunately, it was not the rioters or the Yakuza who invaded the museum.
Kugugoogung.
Buildings collapsed one after another from afar. And finally, the building across the street collapsed.
Kaaaaa!
A huge earthworm appeared from beneath the collapsed ground.
“Oh my god…”
Director Daigo collapsed on the floor.
A monster is coming.
The director, an ordinary old man, was so frightened that he could not move.
Sloshing.
The earthworm dropped its upright body to the floor.
thud!
The road was broken and the collapsed director was thrown away by the impact.
puck!
The director flew several meters and hit his head on the wall.
Blood poured out.
Is it thanks to that? He came to his senses. I couldn’t even feel the pain.
The museum had to be protected. If it was the Yakuza or a mobster, it was a matter of losing some of the omnipotent relics.
But the monster was different. Japanese history might disappear.
He struggled desperately, but couldn’t even get up.
The monster started writhing and crawling on the road. The monster approached the museum towards the director.
“mum. stop.”
The museum director barely raised the window. However, it was a spear worse than the thousands of cogwheel teeth visible before my eyes.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The earthworm monster’s teeth began to move rapidly. The monster looked like it was going to destroy the entire museum building.
The monster raised its body and lowered it back down.
bang!
The director lost the spear due to the sudden shock wave.
The earthworm monster was also thrown to the side.
Kurrrrrr.
The fast-moving teeth stopped moving and blood flowed from the mouth.
The earthworm monster’s head was dented.
The director, who finally came to his senses, was able to see the other person’s back.
A young man was standing in front of him. A haze was rising from his fist.
“I was almost late. You can’t touch this place.”
The man absurdly scolded the earthworm monster that was spread out on the road.
The man, Kyung-hoon, breathed a sigh of relief.
This museum was full of Korean artifacts that couldn’t be found even in the other world.
I don’t know anything else, but I couldn’t let the relics be destroyed.
