Chapter 1169 The First Electromagnetic Interference Operation
In fact, Paul's communication with Koch was not interrupted at all. His ears were filled with strong noises. This situation was very similar to damage to airborne radio equipment!
Yang Mingzhi and his guerrilla republic exist in the swamp, and these 50,000 to 60,000 people have never had to live with the mud every day.
After all, Novgomel had assumed a high-power radio station a few months ago to broadcast to a radius of hundreds of kilometers. The radio station used maximum power operation, which extremely consumed the battery, so the broadcast time at that time was very short.
With the airdrop in April, high-performance radio equipment, and the parachute landing of several small gasoline generators, the communication situation suddenly changed.
Gasoline was very precious, so jeeps and generators were given priority. The generator also gave priority to powering the radio. As for powering on the few electric lights, there was no arrangement at all.
Yang Mingzhi not only ordered all the machine gunners who could be mobilized at once to shoot in the air, he also issued a particularly interesting order to Salinchkin.
"The Communications Department of the Guerrilla Republic, the generators are at full output, mobilize all radio stations, use maximum power to emit electromagnetic waves, frequently change the frequency, and interfere with the enemy's communications!"
The reason why he gave this order was that the telegraph machine in the communications room of the Army Group Headquarters continued to be turned on, and several telegraph operators noticed an unusually weak noise. The noise was very weak and irregular. When they received the message from
After receiving the "enemy plane in sight" telegram from Misi Ferry, I suddenly noticed a strange noise on the radio that should have been filled only with ambient noise.
What is this? Alexeyev, the communications platoon leader, is not an idle person after all. He personally went outside to the commander who bared his teeth at the plane and reported the situation.
Yang Mingzhi is not an idle person. He knows a lot more than radio knowledge. Therefore, he concluded that the enemy planes must be communicating with their superiors!
Because electromagnetic waves of different frequencies will interfere with each other. Of course, the interference of the same frequency is extremely obvious, and the interference of different bands can be ignored. This era is still the era when military wireless communications have just begun to develop. The anti-interference functions of the equipment, such as frequency hopping, retransmission
None. The global electromagnetic environment is clearer, which naturally makes it easier to operate intentional electromagnetic interference.
The Soviet army didn't know what kind of wave band these German troops were using. Yang Mingzhi was confident that he could use all possible means. No matter what band they used, the Soviet army released electromagnetic waves with maximum power and frequently changed the frequency, that is, the telegraph operator
Keep twisting the knob responsible for the frequency on the machine. Dozens of telegraph machines do this, and they always hit the frequency used by the enemy frequently. The interference will definitely work!
All the telegraph machines in the headquarters were turned on. They could no longer care about the rapid depletion of batteries. As long as they could desperately release high-frequency electromagnetic waves, that would be the best.
The Communications Department of the Guerrilla Republic did an even better job. Salinchkin carried out Yang Mingzhi's order without hesitation. More than 20 radio stations, under the continuous power supply of two generators, relied on signal amplifiers disguised in the treetops of big trees.
Creating more intense electromagnetic interference.
Similarly, before the jamming was carried out, Homnich also received an order, and the person in charge there, Corkin, also started to activate the radio station and the local signal amplifier.
On May 28, 1942, the guerrilla republic launched electronic warfare for the first time when facing unexpected enemy aircraft!
On this day, Yang Mingzhi made a wise decision out of desperation. He didn't even know whether the enemy planes were actually communicating wirelessly and reporting reconnaissance intelligence. Such a move inadvertently became the first example of the Soviet army's electronic warfare!
It was also because of the Soviet army's crazy electromagnetic interference that the communication between the mine and the blacksmith village was also interrupted.
The plane was so low that the blinking black cross icon could be clearly seen with the naked eye. It was a German plane. While Joshua was angry, he also received an unexpected report from the telegraph operator, because the communication between the mine and the headquarters was incredible.
Interrupted.
Could it be that something went wrong with the radio station at this juncture? However, when the spare one was turned on, the problem was exactly the same, that is, the telegraph operator heard messy noises in his earphones.
Now that there was no time to speculate on why the radio station failed, Joshua immediately took drastic measures.
First, order the messenger to ride to the blacksmith village to report the news. Second, order the garrison to shoot at the enemy planes immediately. Third, order all mining prisoners of war to return to the camp immediately.
Soon, a large number of bullets began to pour into Paul's reconnaissance plane, but none of Joshua's subordinates had learned how to shoot down enemy planes with rifles alone, and no one knew how to calculate advance. The soldiers just held their hands high.
Just point the rifle and rear sight at the aircraft, and the results can be imagined.
Paul was absolutely unwilling to let go of this wonderful target. He risked being shot down, and the plane suffered a crackling impact.
The German plane began to fly around the circular sulfur mine. The appearance of the plane immediately shocked the German prisoners of war.
The German prisoners of war who surrendered to the Soviet army were tamed by spears and bullets, and their restlessness and desire to escape were always suppressed deep in their hearts. However, when they saw this plane of the motherland, they broke out and became uncontrollable.
These prisoners of war, whose feet were tied with ropes and guarded by a group of Soviet armed overseers, held their shovels and manuscript axes high and shouted German slogans to the sky.
These noisy sounds were naturally drowned in the gunfire from the air. The armed supervisor received an order from the garrison Joshua and was about to escort all the prisoners of war back to the barracks. The supervisor began to carry out the order. Some prisoners of war finally became depressed due to long-term humiliation.
The German plane was the trigger and went out of control.
They raised their draft axes and hit the supervisor, causing immediate casualties...
The price of rage was destruction, and the other supervisors raised their guns without hesitation. The riot was quickly suppressed, and more than twenty German prisoners of war fell in a pool of blood.
Seeing this scene, those Romanian prisoners of war whose treatment had been improved and who were better off than the Germans, some of them clamored and immediately calmed down when they saw that the Germans were shot so mercilessly. When the armed overseer ordered them to drop their tools,
Everyone immediately obeyed and then queued up to leave very honestly.
Paul, who was nearly a kilometer above the ground, was unaware of these details. In his opinion, this was indeed a Russian sulfur mine.
Sulfur is a good thing. The Russians can use it to make sulfuric acid, and sulfuric acid is a necessary raw material for explosives! The Russians here are very powerful in combat. The biggest reason must be that they can make their own weapons.
Paul knew that he could not stay here any longer. The number of bullet holes in the wings on both sides of his car was even more shocking. The plane stopped circling and gradually lifted up.
He needs to determine the exact current location. Undoubtedly, relying on the two rivers here, he can roughly determine the location.
Finally, he climbed to a height that was absolutely beyond the reach of Soviet bullets. He also marked the location of the sulfur mine on the map by referring to several bends in the Dnieper River.
It's very sad that the airborne radio is still covered in noise at this moment, sometimes it's like the constant beating of waves, sometimes it's like a swarm of flies chirping non-stop.
The important information collected today must be returned to the airport at the risk of death. This is his personal honor, and it is also the collective honor of the aviation brigade!
His return journey also had to take a large circle. As fuel allowed, he set a route for himself that would take a detour around the left bank of the Dnieper River.
The plane changed its route directly above the mine. Paul put on his sunglasses, faced the scorching morning sun, and flew towards Gomel with the reconnaissance plane whose fuselage was riddled with holes except for the engine.
