The same problem exists with m-shelled armor-piercing shells, especially depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, and even if the cadres and workers of the arsenal forget to sleep and eat, it will take more than 10 days and half a month to produce enough finished products and transport them to Qingdao. Therefore, after learning that the enemy had not withdrawn even after losing four battleships in a row, and that it was obvious that he was planning to push Qingdao with the help of two Nagato-class battleships, Hu Weidong could not help but feel a little bigger, but at the first officer meeting of the Third Fleet, a destroyer captain who had just taken up his post for a few days put forward a proposal

Hu Weidong looked at the captain named Li Shuheng seriously and said in a deep voice, "You mean, use a destroyer to launch mines?" But you've only just been on board for a short time, and you're already proficient? ”

"Although the devil's warships are a lot more advanced, they are basically the same, but you make the new equipment installed on the warships more troublesome, but it's not a problem." , Li Shuheng replied. The reason why he said this was because Hu Weidong, in consideration of the urgency of time, on the one hand conducted surprise training for the officers and men of various ships so that they could master the new equipment such as radar and ballistic computers as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he directly sent the corresponding Jishu units of the army to the ships for emergencies, and they could adapt to the environment on the ships faster than the officers and men of the navy who were familiar with these new equipment, as long as they did not fall overboard. At most, it's just a little seasick, anyway, I get used to it

And a suggestion put forward by Li Shuheng made Hu Weidong's heart pound, "The torpedo is limited, the destroyer is much larger than the target of the torpedo boat, and the devil's cannon has always been very accurate, if we attack during the day, I am afraid that we will be killed by the enemy before we enter the torpedo." The lowly position is not afraid of death, but when he saw that radar, he had an idea. I don't know if it's feasible."

"You mean using radar to aim? Approaching enemy ships at night and firing mines? Good idea! Hu Weidong's eyes lit up after hearing this. He is well aware that he relies on the collective wisdom of scientists such as Tesla, as well as some students and workers. Nowadays, the radar produced in the border area has reached the advanced level of Shijie in history, and it is even possible to guide high-flying aircraft, not to mention just pointing torpedoes in the direction to hit warships with much larger targets?

Hu Weidong was about to agree to Li Shuheng's proposal, but suddenly remembered something and asked, "You shouldn't have used the torpedo on the ship yet, right?" ”

"Many of the brothers are just getting on board, and they really haven't had time to try it, and the brothers have all done it on torpedo boats, so it's not difficult to do this." , Li Shuheng said confidently.

"No wonder you didn't notice that someone was watching next to the torpedo tube all the time. This kind of torpedo of the little devil is not simple," Hu Weidong couldn't help but secretly say that it was very dangerous, if the destroyers used these extremely dangerous oxygen torpedoes as ordinary torpedoes, not to mention that the hit rate was difficult to guarantee, in case of several safety accidents. He regretted it

"Why did the little devil really make such a thing?" , Li Shuheng and the naval officers in the conference room who heard about the oxygen torpedo for the first time all gasped when they heard it, but Li Shuheng soon smiled fearlessly, "But as long as the power is great, let's use small to make a big deal." How can you do it without taking some risks? ”

The other seven captains also asked for battle, Hu Weidong was pleased, but immediately did not agree to their request, "It is irresponsible for the lives of officers and soldiers to put unused weapons directly into the battlefield, so you must try this kind of torpedo before going to war, as for the time, although the number of mines we laid is limited, this time can still be gained, even if the devil clears the mines quickly, I have my own way."

In order to minimize possible losses, when each ship tested the gas torpedoes, Hu Weidong not only had all the spare torpedoes on each destroyer be removed in advance, but even most of the torpedoes in the torpedo tubes were also taken out, and each destroyer only kept one round to try it out before loading the other torpedo tubes, and then tested each ship in turn, and the fuel reserves of each ship were also reduced to a minimum. In this case, even if the torpedo unfortunately explodes, it will not cause a martyrdom or a fire, and in addition, it will not explode underwater, even if it is a destroyer with a displacement of only one ton, it should not be blown up and sunk all at once, anyway, the shipyard is not far from here, as long as it can hold on for ten minutes without sinking, it will definitely have time to be dragged in for repair. In addition, personnel on each destroyer who have nothing to do with engines, radars, and torpedo tubes are also required to leave the ship in order to minimize casualties in the event of an accident

Although the navy, which does not have so many target ships, can only choose reefs as the target of torpedo attacks, except for a few new recruits, the officers and men of all ships can basically estimate the incredible power of this torpedo, and Sa Zhenbing, a veteran of the navy of the Republic of China who rushed to Qingdao in spite of his old age, sighed, "This torpedo is powerful, if we used this thing in the sneak attack on Dingyuan back then, I am afraid we will not even have the chance to move to the shallows and run aground."

However, from the second launch, the shortcomings of the oxygen torpedo were exposed, even with the seriousness of the devil, the work of manually lubricating the torpedo could not guarantee the effect, not to mention the officers and men of the Kuomintang Navy who had lax military discipline, and as a result, more than half of the test torpedoes jumped out of the water because of insufficient lubrication, plus those torpedoes that suddenly exploded after about a thousand meters because of the design defects of the oxygen torpedo itself. The success rate of the oxygen torpedo test was alarmingly low, and only five of them hit a large rock reef with a diameter of more than 100 meters at a distance of 15 kilometers

"Well, at least these forty-eight torpedo tubes are all useful," Hu Weidong comforted himself.
