Chapter 449: With radar, we have eyes inside, no longer need to worry about sneak attacks by Japanes
Li Yunlong picked up the military cap on the table, put it on his head, and hurriedly left the underground air defense command, with the monk and Duan Peng guarding him. The six battalion main forces that received the order only took an hour to complete all the preparations before the plane. When Li Yunlong arrived, Zhang Dabiao had been waiting for ten minutes.
"Captain, the troops have been assembled and are ready to set off at any time!"
Li Yunlong gave the order with a serious face: "Brothers, the Japanese attacked our transportation line this afternoon, causing us huge casualties. All 1268 soldiers died. We must avenge them. All battalions will set out immediately and follow the lead battalion. No one is allowed to fall behind. We must reach the destination within four days."
Li Yunlong did not disclose the destination of this trip, but let the Second Armored Battalion serve as the lead battalion to provide guidance for the troops, mainly to prevent leaks. Zhang Dabiao immediately carried out Li Yunlong's order and sent the Second Armored Battalion to set off first. At the same time, Lin Zhenhua also assigned two communication command vehicles to Li Yunlong to ensure the safety of communications.
As the radio began to be mass-produced, the output was directly expanded by nearly ten times. The radio was directly equipped to the company, and the fighter planes were gradually equipped with radios. The initial construction of the communication network of the entire army was completed. The only problem now is that the installation of the fighter radio takes time, and the use of the radio also requires training. The equipment of a large number of radios in a short period of time has caused a shortage of telegraph operators. Only the battalion level can really use the radio. With the opening of the telegraph operator training class, a steady stream of available telegraph personnel will be provided for the base, but the training cannot be completed in one or two days, and it will take at least one month.
After Li Yunlong and his men left, the base quickly became busy. A large amount of ammunition was transported to Maoershan Airport, and hundreds of fighter planes underwent emergency maintenance. They will attack at 6:30 tomorrow morning to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese's supply warehouse.
"Old Zhao, from today on, the base will immediately enter a wartime state and activate Operation Plan No. 3. The entire base will immediately begin martial law. All defense forces will immediately enter their positions and ammunition will immediately begin to be distributed. We must be prepared for a major war."
"Lao Ding, Mawangzhai is the southern gate of our base and must be guarded. You must rush over tonight and check the defense of Mawangzhai. Let the soldiers be ready to respond to the enemy's surprise attack at any time."
"Lao Kong, you go and guard the Xiaoyunling position, the northern gate of our base. This place is the throat of our base. You must be careful of the enemy troops coming from the direction of Yushugou."
"Old Xing, stop the military training for a while. You are responsible for the defense of the base. You must ensure the safety of the people and the military factories. Let us have a safe rear area so that we can fight the Japanese without any worries."
"I will go to the arsenal tonight and put it into wartime production. After the arsenal is switched to the wartime system, I will immediately rush to Maoershan Airport and send 106 fighter planes to attack 16 important targets of the devils. No matter how great the results are in the end, we must do this to tell the devils that we are not easy to mess with."
"Put aside the interrogation of Ma Xiaobo and Xu Zhongyi for now until this crisis is resolved. Also, immediately inform Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment of our attack and ask him to be careful. We cannot give up Niujiagou Market in the short term. This is an important source of supplies for both sides. We must find a way to hold on for another half a month."
Lin Zhenhua's arrangement was very comprehensive, taking everything into consideration. This commander-in-chief was quite competent. Everyone had no objection to Lin Zhenhua's arrangement and quickly took action. The atmosphere in the entire base suddenly became solemn, and an atmosphere of an impending war spread.
Chu Yunfei heard about the attack on the transport line the next morning. He did not gloat over the misfortune, but his face became more gloomy. He immediately found Chief of Staff Fang Ligong and asked him about the matter in detail. After learning the truth, Chu Yunfei felt the atmosphere of the coming war. The Japanese did not take action earlier or later, but chose to take action at this time, which proved that the Japanese reinforcements had arrived, which gave the Japanese the confidence to launch a sneak attack on the transport line.
"Brother Ligong, you must immediately send a telegram to the old commander and request the intelligence department to immediately investigate the movements of the 12th Army. I suspect that the Japanese reinforcements have all arrived, otherwise the Japanese wouldn't be so confident. This is very different from our previous predictions. Maybe the Japanese have already set up a trap in secret."
"My 358th Regiment is at the center of the storm. We must not panic at this time. We must strictly block the news of the arrival of the Japanese reinforcements. Starting today, we will reduce the number of gold castings in Niujiagou and begin to withdraw our main forces to the vicinity of Wangniutou Mountain."
"Send out all the fighter planes we have to conduct round-the-clock patrols. Report any suspicious areas immediately. The armored forces should immediately conduct maintenance and be ready to attack at any time. The transport team should immediately allocate half of its transport capacity to transport the combat supplies we have stored in Niujiagou to the vicinity of Shentouling day and night."
"Niujiagou market is open as usual. Find ways to increase the amount of food purchased and have the kitchen company prepare more dry food so that it can be preserved longer. At this time, don't worry about whether it tastes good or not, as long as it can satisfy your hunger."
"Order all battalions to prepare for a major battle. Weapons and ammunition should be issued immediately. All units should immediately begin martial law and be ready to fight the Japanese at any time. The field hospital should immediately begin to move back. At the same time, increase the volume of drug transactions with the independent regiment and stockpile all kinds of drugs that we urgently need."
Chu Yunfei arranged everything without further ado. Chief of Staff Fang Ligong directly supervised the matter. With the attack on the independent regiment's transport team, the atmosphere in Niujiagou became tense. The faces of the merchants and civilians who came to trade were full of fear. They also heard the news of the attack on the transport team. For a while, people were really panic-stricken. The news that Chu Yunfei wanted to block was not blocked at all, and was spread by the Japanese a long time ago.
Just as Chu Yunfei was angry at the Japanese for spreading news that was unfavorable to the Niujiagou market, 106 fighter planes deployed at Maoershan Airport, fully loaded with ammunition and fuel, rushed to the predetermined attack target. The air defense forces of the base had also entered their battle positions, ready to respond to the incoming Japanese fighter planes at any time.
The tense atmosphere made Lin Zhenhua feel tremendous pressure. He decided not to hide the secret weapon any longer. He had to complete the assembly of the radar within three days to ensure that the radar could work normally and detect the position of incoming enemy aircraft after three days.
"Wu Yuanshan, transfer 50 more workers here immediately. We must complete the assembly of the radar within three days. Today we dispatched a large number of fighter planes to retaliate against the Japanese. The Japanese will never swallow their anger and will definitely retaliate. If we want to win the next air battle, we must anticipate the enemy first to gain the upper hand. Let the soldiers work overtime and adopt a three-shift work system. We cannot stop until the radar is assembled."
Lin Zhenhua personally led 128 workers to assemble the radar. As there were a large number of pipelines, it was not a simple matter to sort them out. Transistors and electron tubes still needed to be welded. Under the light, everyone quickly got busy. Lin Zhenhua no longer cared about the outside world. He devoted his whole mind to assembling the radar, correcting errors bit by bit, testing bit by bit, and finally completed the assembly of the radar after two and a half days. After commissioning, it met the requirements for use.
After the radar was assembled, it was towed by 36 armored vehicles and transported to the designated location on a flatbed truck. After the flatbed truck was fixed, the radar was powered on and started working, scanning the nearby enemy situation.
"College student, is this the radar that exists in the sky but not on the ground that you mentioned? This thing weighs hundreds of tons and is not practical at all. Besides, there are many mountains near our base, which are said to be able to block the radar waves. It feels like an overkill to place the radar here. It would be better to install it directly outside!" Military strategist Ding Wei said with some disdain.
Lin Zhenhua did not feel offended. To be honest, this radar weighing hundreds of tons is indeed very cumbersome, but it is a necessary process. At the beginning, the radar cannot be made too small. After all, some technologies need to be verified before they can be used. He did not take any risks at all. The entire radar basically uses vacuum tubes and rarely uses transistors. After mastering the manufacturing technology of radar, he will gradually use transistors on a large scale to reduce the size of the radar. At that time, he can directly reduce it to the size that can be mounted on a vehicle in one step.
As integration becomes higher and higher in the future, equipping fighter jets with radars will give them the ability to fight at night. However, these things are easier said than done, and there is still a long way to go.
"Lao Ding, this radar is just a verification machine, used to verify our current technology. After the test, it can be said to be very successful. According to the data after mass production, this radar weighs 102.96 tons and has a detection range of 80 kilometers, which can basically meet our early warning needs."
"Next, we will deploy eight early warning radars at the front of the position to help us detect the enemy's fighter planes. When the weight and volume of the radar are reduced, we will move the radar's early warning line to gain more warning time."
"We need to eat one bite at a time and do things one by one. Radar can neither kill nor interfere with the enemy, but it can predict the enemy's actions in advance. It is like having a pair of ears and eyes that can see far away. This is of great significance to our base. Once you have seen its benefits, you, Old Ding, will feel that what I said today was not nonsense!"
