Yuan Long hurriedly asked: "Isn't it the kind of torpedo we often see? What kind of torpedo is that?"

Lin Yuan said: "According to the analysis of the situation you told me, those three things came out of the first submarine, which means that these three things must be weapons attached to the submarine, so it is possible that they are torpedoes Most, the reason why you think they are not torpedoes is mainly because those things are fired at such a long distance that it is impossible to detect the target."

"But you ignored the periscope. If there is someone in this torpedo, he is driving this torpedo and using the periscope to observe the sea surface, wouldn't he be able to spot the target?"

Yuan Long said in surprise: "But how could there be people in the torpedo? After the torpedo hits the target, wouldn't people be killed?"

Lin Yuan said: "There may be an escape pod installed in the torpedo. When the torpedo determines the course and attacks the target, people will take the escape pod to return, or there may be no escape pod. The Japanese army often uses suicide attacks. There is no reason why the navy should not use suicide. attack!"

Yuan Long said: "Then what you mean is: this torpedo is a manned torpedo."

Lin Yuan said: "That's right! So you must be very careful when handling it. Since the torpedo surfaced and lost its ability to move, it must have been blown up by our anti-submarine missiles. In this case, the explosives inside There may also be an explosion, according to the size you gave me, the charge of this torpedo is likely to be more than [-] kilograms, if you don't handle it well, these explosives are enough to bring disaster to your Qinglong ship!"

Yuan Long hurriedly said: "Shuai Lin, don't worry, I will discuss with my subordinates the plan to transport this manned torpedo back, and guarantee that the torpedo will not cause any harm to us."

Lin Yuan said: "Very good, you don't have to send the torpedo back in person, contact Busan Port immediately and ask them to dispatch a tugboat to tow the torpedo back to Busan Port, I will notify the Central Front Army Command in Busan, organize personnel to carefully Study that torpedo."

Yuan Long agreed, and then contacted the port of Busan, asking them to send a tugboat. A tugboat sailed from the port immediately. It would take a long time for the tugboat to reach this position. Searching for Japanese submarines, another submarine was sunk around [-]:[-] pm, and this submarine did not even have time to launch a manned torpedo.

At 400 o'clock in the evening, the tugboat came to the position of the fleet. They tied the torpedo with a towline more than [-] meters long. The torpedo exploded at this distance and would not hurt the tugboat. The tugboat towed the torpedo back to Busan Port. The fleet and landing ships also returned one after another.

As soon as the torpedo arrived at the port, it was placed in an abandoned shipyard. This was originally a shipyard for the Japanese army, and it was mainly used for overhauling thousand-ton boats. However, many facilities were blown up during the air strikes by Lin Yuan's troops. , The dock was also deserted.

The torpedo was brought into the dock by a small boat and fixed on the berth. Then the gate of the dock was closed to keep the seawater out of the dock, and then the water pump was started to pump out the water in the dock, and the torpedo was completely exposed to everyone.

The technicians used an X-ray detector to scan the mine body and found that the radar is probably composed of three parts. The front part is the mine head, which is the warhead of the torpedo, which is filled with explosives, and the middle is an empty space. cabin, which should be manned, and finally the engine and propeller.

The technicians originally wanted to use the cutting method to separate the war mine head, and then conduct research on the mine body, but they were worried that the explosives would be detonated during the cutting, so they decided not to cut the war mine head for the time being, but to open the empty compartment in the middle to see The situation inside.

The technicians checked again and again and found that the hatch door was difficult to open from the outside. This surprised the technicians, and they all commented: "If the hatch door can't be opened from the outside, how did that person get in?"

The technicians used X-rays to detect the hatch and found three welding points, which made the technicians even more surprised, because there are welding spots, which means that the hatch cannot be opened by manpower!Some technicians suspected that this torpedo was not a manned torpedo at all.

The commander at the scene immediately ordered: use the cutter and open the hatch!Several technicians brought cutting machines to the vicinity of the hatch. They kept spraying cooling oil to the cutting point when cutting the hatch to prevent the cutting point from overheating and causing the explosives to explode. Therefore, the cutting speed was so slow that the diameter was only eight inches. It took a full hour to cut the welding point for the ten-centimeter hatch. When everyone opened the hatch, the scene inside surprised everyone.

There was actually a person sitting inside the cabin door, that person was naked on the upper body, wearing Japanese military uniform pants on the lower body, a long strip of white cloth was tied on his forehead, and a string of Japanese characters were written on the white cloth in blood red color, he leaned on the bulkhead crookedly, The corners of his eyes, nostrils, and mouth were full of blood. A technician reached under his nose and touched it, saying, "The man is dead."

Everyone understood at this time: This torpedo is indeed a torpedo operated by a man, and this man is the pilot of the torpedo, who was shocked to death by the shock wave when the anti-submarine missile exploded. Everyone hurriedly pulled the pilot out of the cabin , Only then did I realize that this so-called cockpit is pitifully small, and people can only sit with their legs crossed after entering, and it is impossible to stretch their legs.

The on-site commander immediately reported everything he found to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "In World War II in my era, Japan used this kind of man-made torpedo to defeat the United States. This kind of torpedo has a famous name: "Returning torpedo". Unfortunately, this kind of torpedo was unable to restore Japan's defeat in the end. Now I am much stronger than the United States back then, and the Japanese are even more unable to restore their defeat. !"

While thinking about it, Lin Yuan called an attendant in, and said, "You ask the Busan Weapons Research Institute to tell Tang Fan, the leader of the anti-Japanese work leading group, about the discovery of the man-operated torpedo, and Tang Fan knows exactly what to do next. "

The attendants agreed to go out, and Lin Yuan thought: "Since the Japanese army has made man-operated torpedoes, they will definitely be used on a large scale in future operations. I must strengthen the anti-submarine forces of the Central Front Army, Southern Front Army, and Northern Front Army!" Lin Yuan thought at the same time. At the same time, three anti-submarine aircraft were transferred to Busan, Sakhalin and Ryukyu to search for Japanese submarines for the three front forces.

Turning the other day, on July [-], all major news agencies reported the news that "the Emperor of Japan used a military torpedo in such a militaristic manner." There is no way to escape!
