The training of the synthetic battalion for gun-aising radar has progressed very quickly. In fact, we have done a lot of this set in our daily training. This time, we are just further standardizing and proceduralizing the gun-aising radar.
However, it is not the case that the progress is fast, because we all know that the geographical and hydrology of Beijing are very different from that of Vietnam, so it is not very meaningful to train in Beijing. So after more than ten days, we simply decided to follow up
The training work has been moved to Yunnan.
In fact, this work began ten days ago, when the synthesis camp confirmed all the required equipment.
This is thanks to the foresight of the Chief of Staff Zhao Jingping... As the battalion commander, I often take advantage of the problem on the spot, that is, I will only have a solution when facing an unsolvable problem and are forced to get angry.
I'm too lazy to think about so many long-term plans.
But Zhao Jingping is different. For example, this time, what he thought of was: When we go to Yunnan to perform missions, we have to bring armored vehicles, side three wheels and artillery. This is a big transportation task.
It may be easy to solve with artillery, after all, there are these things on the front line, and you can hand over the artillery from any artillery battalion that has no combat to us or take it from the inventory.
But armored vehicles are more troublesome. You should know that the Soviet-style armored vehicles seized from Vietnamese equipped by the synthetic battalion have night vision devices. This is also the reason why scholars choose this armored vehicle as the main force of the protection gun aiming radar.
One. That is, this cannot be replaced by armored vehicles on the front line.
Therefore, the armored vehicle must be transported to Yunnan by railway in advance. Otherwise, we will have to wait for more than twenty days for the armored vehicle to be transported on the railway for twenty days, which is a waste of time.
Therefore, Zhao Jingping was very prescient in suggesting that he would transport six armored vehicles to Yunnan first... The reason for transporting six vehicles is needless to say, but naturally there is a way to replace it if there is a problem with an armored vehicle.
This saves us a lot of time.
Our synthetic battalion was divided into several parts and took turns to Yunnan by plane. It was originally a tactical company of scholars. After all, they were troops that directly protected the gun-aiding radar, so they needed to go first to make necessary routes that the gun-aiding radar might pass through.
Scout or learn more about the situation.
The second is the Agent Company and the Sniper Company. This mission requires helicopters. They have to go and get to know the helicopters assigned to them on the front line and contact the plainclothes police... At this time, it should be said that they are undercover lurking among the border residents.
Next is the artillery troops, who want to receive artillery, cars and other equipment prepared by the frontline for them. They will become familiar with these equipment in advance.
After all this is arranged, the final departure is the battalion headquarters and gun navigation radar led by me.
The Simberlin radar purchased from the UK is not heavy, and it only costs 390 kilograms, including the power supply, and several large boxes of parts are more than 500 kilograms. This weight can be mounted even if it is a helicopter.
Of course, it is not convenient to transport it by helicopter at such a long distance from Beijing to Yunnan, and the superiors are not assured to transport things as important as gunshot radars... The failure rate of Zhiwu is high, right? If such a precious thing is because of a helicopter, it is not safe to transport it.
If there is a problem with the failure, Commander Zhang will even regret his intestines.
So Commander Zhang quickly transferred an "An24" transport aircraft... This thing was bought from the Soviet devils in the early years, but now it has no parts maintenance because of the evil deeds with the Soviet Union. Now, if you can do it, try not to fly.
From this point, we can also see how important it is for a country to have its own military-industrial system. Just like in our current country, a large number of weapons and equipment were purchased from the Soviet Union. Once the two sides intervene in the Soviet Union, the consequences will be
It is quite serious, because this will lead to the problem that a large number of weapons and equipment cannot be effectively maintained.
Of course, our country has long recognized this problem. In 1966, the task of reverse imitation of the "An 24" transport aircraft was launched, but it was delayed due to ten years of reasons.
These issues are not something I need to consider. I only know that I will take the battalion headquarters to transport the gun-aiding radar to the airport under the protection of the guards. Then, under the supervision of Chen Weihua and others, the gun-aiding radar was installed on the plane and
Fixed well.
Soon we got off the plane at Kunming Airport, and the scholar and Wu Dengxiong had already taken people to wait for us at the airport.
Unlike usual, we did not do any special actions to transport gun aiming radar... I am very clear. The more mysterious the transport of some things is, the more it will attract the attention of Vietnamese spies, and if we don't
If you take it seriously, then the spies who were mixed with the people of the Vietnamese army naturally thought it was no big deal.
So we carefully chose to arrive at Kunming Airport during the day... The transportation at night will feel like it is too much to cover up. Although there are many people and eyes during the day, the many troops coming and going will also dazzle the Vietnamese spies.
And we deliberately dress ourselves up as artillery.
It seems easy to do this. Wu Dengxiong's soldiers are artillery soldiers. As for cannons and cars, there are so many places in Kunming, so you can just come from anywhere.
Then hang the cannon radar, which was originally covered with canvas, and then drive it into the group of cars with cannons... When others saw it, they thought that this inconspicuous thing was just a car of cannonballs or something else.
Where is the stuff!
"Battleman Commander Yang!" As soon as I got on the jeep, a cadre shook hands with me and introduced himself: "I am the staff officer sent by Commander Zhang to be responsible for your response. My surname is Wei, and my name is Rong!"
"Hmm! Hello!" I shook hands with Wei Rong. I thought it was strange this time. In the past, those who came to pick us up were the staff of the front-line troops, so that we could better cooperate with the front-line troops, for example, we need
What equipment or which battle to fight requires coordination, etc. are usually connected with the front line troops through this staff.
But now the person who came to pick us up was the person sent by Commander Zhang.
But I think it's nothing strange about this. Of course, the reason is because of the gun-aiming radar behind us... This is now a high-level military secret. If it weren't for someone who could fully trust, it would be impossible for him to participate in this mission.
Coming from inside.
In other words, this Staff Officer Wei is a person who can be trusted, and he will also become a bridge for communication between us and the frontline troops.
Staff Officer Wei doesn't seem to be a talkative person. Because after introducing himself, he didn't say anything, neither told me what the mission was, nor told me where he was going. He just acted as a surrounding person
There is no such thing as closing one's eyes and resting.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly: It seems that what Commander Zhang assigned to me this time is not only a trustworthy person, but also a very strict person.
The convoy drove all the way toward Malipo County... This is a very familiar road. I didn't know how many times I've been there before, so even if Staff Wei didn't say it, I had no objection.
But perhaps because we disguised it too much, people spontaneously sent us some tea and nuts when passing several villages on the way.
At this time, the scholar and his men suddenly became nervous... I know why they were nervous. You must know that we transported only two gun navigation radars across the country. If there are a few Vietnamese spies hidden among these people, then
We just died before we succeeded.
But I winked at the scholars and signaled them not to stop them.
My judgment is that at this time, Vietnam did not know that our army had artillery radar. Since we didn’t know that our army had artillery radar, how could there be spies targeting a "ordinary artillery unit" like us?
So if you want to act, just act like it. If you come forward to stop the people at this time, and there are Vietnamese spies lurking beside them or among these people, it will arouse their suspicion.
So soon the fellow villagers served us tea and water, and some people even stood next to the cannon radar with boiling kettles... This made the scholars still have smiles on their faces, but they were already in their eyes.
Very nervous.
I think if these people knew that the gun-aiding radar next to them was more expensive than the gold that was heavier than the gold, I was afraid they would regret not being able to touch it.
At this time, Staff Officer Wei opened his eyes and looked at me unexpectedly. Obviously, he didn't expect me to be so bold.
This reminds me of something. This happened in the UK. At that time, South Africa was still a British colony. The British decided to ship the largest diamond ever discovered in South Africa, "Africa Star", to London to offer it.
King. Relevant personnel spent several months thinking about how to safely deliver the $7.5 billion diamond to their destination, and finally thought of a solution... This diamond, as big as eggplant, was simply packed in a box.
It was mailed out and appeared in the royal mail bag at Buckingham Palace a month later.
So there is a saying that goes, "the simpler the more safer", and what I am doing now is, "the ordinary is the safer the more ordinary."
The convoy was shaking all the way on the road without any danger. Due to the poor road conditions and the worry that too much bump would damage the gun aiming radar, the convoy was driving very slowly. I was in the car while shaking.
The motor roared, fell asleep unconsciously, and he didn't wake up until the jeep stopped with a "scream".
When I opened my sleepy eyes, I realized that I had arrived at a hidden forest base at some time.
It should be said that this base was established by our Synthesis Battalion. Because I didn’t see any strange faces here, most of them were from the Tactical Company.
After looking at the dense branches and leaves above my head and the surrounding terrain, I nodded secretly: This is indeed a good place, with well-connected traffic. Moreover, the terrain is not high and it is very convenient for the traction gun aiming radar to enter and exit, and the branches and leaves above my head are very obvious.
It is the best camouflage of the artillery radar. Even if the Vietnamese army has reconnaissance aircraft moving nearby, it cannot be photographed. There is another mountain just south, and it is difficult for the Vietnamese army to reach here for long-range artillery fire. It can be said that it is just to set up artillery sighting.
Radar prepared.
"Battery Commander!" When I walked into the tent of the battalion headquarters, Zhang Zuoliang, who arrived here to arrange work, came up to meet him.
"Everything is arranged!" I asked.
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged!" Zhang Zuoling replied.
"Yeah!" I nodded and my eyes quickly turned to the map on the desktop.
"Our location is here, position No. 1!" Zhang Zuoling pointed to the map and said: "The position No. 1 is not much or less away from the front line, and the straight line is exactly fifteen kilometers, which is just suitable for the observation of the 'Sky Eye'."
"Sky Eye" is the nickname that soldiers gave to the cannon sight radar. It is very simple to get this nickname because it can observe shells flying in the air, just like an eye in the sky.
On the other hand, we are worried that the name "cannon-aiding radar" will be leaked if it is monitored by the Japanese devils. After all, there is the Soviet Union behind the Japanese devils. They just need to find a Soviet military adviser to inquire about the "cannon-aiding radar".
, I soon knew what this is.
But if they hear "Sky Eye"... they will probably have to spend some time.
"According to the plan," Zhang Zuoliang continued: "We allocated the tactical company to the No. 1 position, with 20 snipers divided into two groups, each with ten people, taking turns to lurking at different locations outside the position. Four armored vehicles were allocated in four directions
, Two vehicles are in the position for emergency response or for replacement. The agent company is here, the No. 2 position..."
"Well! Why is it so far?" I couldn't help but be surprised when I looked at the straight line between the No. 2 position on the map and ours at least ten miles away.
"This is the idea of Staff Wei!" Zhang Zuoliang looked at Staff Wei and continued: "Staff Wei means that the agent company has a helicopter to take off and land, which can easily attract the attention of the Vietnamese agents, so it is best to
Arrange the position a little farther, and it seems a bit farther, but the straight-line distance of seven kilometers is only two or three minutes for the helicopter, so there is enough time and conditions to provide cover for us, and it will not
Influence the reconnaissance mission of the agent company on the periphery!”
Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but nodded. It seemed that this Staff Officer Wei was not an ordinary person.
Later I learned that Staff Wei did not just this. He even specially dispatched a surface-to-air missile experimental unit to lurk near the No. 2 position.
So as soon as the Japanese agents were reconnaissance... their sight was quickly attracted by the surface-to-air missile forces, and then they would take it for granted that our agent company equipped with helicopters must be responsible for protecting this missile force.
At this time, I was wondering, aren’t surface-to-air missiles also expensive to our army?!
Staff Wei said: "We still have missiles that were bombed, but the gun-aided radar can be used on the battlefield, just this one!" (To be continued)
