This electromagnetic interference lasted for nearly an hour. Even with the overheating of the body, the radio continued to work forcefully until it overheated and stopped.
Yang Mingzhi sighed: "I really hope that this measure really interferes with the enemy's communications."
However, his worries soon turned into excitement, because an urgent message came from the mine. The message itself was very interesting, and they were actually asking why the communication with the headquarters was unexpectedly interrupted.
Regardless of whether there is a clear reply or not, as long as a telegram is sent to the headquarters, the headquarters must first respond with a simple character code to prove that they have received the message.
The message even claimed that when preparing for voice communication, the telegraph operator heard abnormal noises that kept changing rhythm, like a radio tuned to the wrong band!
The message also emphasized the situation of enemy planes flying around the mine, and Yang Mingzhi's thoughts were entirely on the so-called "communication anomaly". These signs indicate that electromagnetic interference has achieved results!
Regarding the abuse of telegraph machines and communication equipment, Salinchkin decisively carried out Yang Mingzhi's order, and now he is leading a group of people to come to "examine the crime" because the telegraph machine is about to overheat and spontaneously ignite!
When he hurried to the army headquarters with confusion, an emergency meeting had been held here.
Yang Mingzhi summoned all the staff present. The most critical figures except him were Yevlov and Fomin. Everyone was unwilling to accept the failed battle against the enemy reconnaissance aircraft that had just ended. It was obvious that a good air defense had been organized.
With heavy firepower, the enemy plane not only escaped, but also seemed to have focused on reconnaissance of the mine, and finally flew away!
The appearance of the reconnaissance plane is a harbinger of a German air attack. The German army will launch a massive air attack in the near future.
At this moment, people couldn't help but recall the horror of the bombing of Catfish Village - the airport was blown into a fish pond by a powerful aerial bomb!
The enemy's air strikes are launching again, which is likely to cause huge casualties. Besides, the current guerrilla republic is no longer in a poor situation where bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes. There are a large number of handicraft workshops, arsenals, fertilizer plants, etc. in this area.
Heavy industrial factories. If these factories are damaged in the gap, it will be a fatal blow to the sustainable operations of the troops!
Public opinion was quite pessimistic for a while, and everyone was looking for a clever plan from their heroic commander, Belekov, and everyone looked at them with sullen faces and pleading eyes.
"Damn! What good ideas can I come up with in such a short time?!" Yang Mingzhi's mind was in a mess. Fortunately, Salinchkin's appearance broke the awkward atmosphere.
This middle-aged man with a bright forehead anxiously stepped into the headquarters office, even ignoring the proper etiquette, and anxiously asked: "Berekov! According to your decision, I have transferred all the information controlled by the Ministry of Communications of the Republic.
The telegraph machines, even the backup telegraph machines, were all turned on and used maximum power. It was almost! It was almost that our telegraph machine spontaneously combusted! You must tell me now, why did you do this?!"
Yang Mingzhi was secretly happy for this person's excuse to change the subject. He said without changing his face: "Of course it's electromagnetic interference!"
"Oh? Interference?!" Salinchkin was confused, "Is this science? Who are you interfering with?"
"We are interfering with that damn German reconnaissance plane! Our telegraph operators noticed that the enemy plane seemed to be using airborne radio, and we detected weak electromagnetic interference!"
It was indeed necessary to explain this matter clearly to the people present, so Yang Mingzhi stood up in public and cleared his throat again.
"Comrades, we must block the communication between enemy planes and the German command! The measures we just took have indeed blocked the communication signal, because the command cannot receive the telegrams sent from our mine!
I originally thought of shielding the enemy's communications first, and then our army would shoot down the enemy plane. In this way, the enemy would not know any of our secrets, but now it seems that the electromagnetic shielding has been achieved, and the mission of shooting down the enemy plane has completely failed!
The enemy planes circled over the mine for many times, and our shooting had no effect. The enemy planes fled with a large amount of reconnaissance information, and we must be prepared."
Considering that Salinchkin parachuted into the swamp later, he must not have intuitive understanding of the fact that there had been air raids here.
Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but tell the past events again at the top of his lungs, and Yevlov narrated it for him...
Yang Mingzhi nodded, clenched his fists and said impassionedly: "This is the new serious problem we are facing now! In the past, we only cared about the enemy's attack by tens of thousands of ground troops, but ignored the threat from the air. We must do
Take countermeasures!”
"So, do you have any measures?" Sarinchkin asked coldly with a wooden face.
"As for the measures, the method our army used to avoid air raids achieved good results last time. Civilians were evacuated to shelters in the forest, so the final casualties were basically soldiers. It's just that this time we don't know when the enemy will attack and what will happen.
How many aircraft were dispatched and where is the enemy's airport? Obviously, the enemy has complete control of the air and the initiative. It seems that we can only be passively beaten! This status quo is too unfavorable for us."
Yevlov sighed, scratched his head desperately, and complained: "Based on last experience, the enemy will launch an air attack within ten days. I think we may have to follow the old method and start evacuating into the forest."
Upon hearing this, Fomin immediately became angry: "You said evacuation? Are you serious?! We have just set Loev as the target for liberation, and an enemy plane appears. Are we going to change our strategy?"
"At this point, even if we suddenly change the plan we just made, there is nothing we can do! Do you want to see the crazy bombing by enemy planes? Our current population is too large. Once there are a large number of civilian casualties, we will all have the will to fight.
Possibility of collapse!”
"Bah! Dear Comrade Major General, did a few German bombers scare you?! Do you already look like a mouse?"
"You...shut up!"
With a bang, the wooden table seemed to be broken into pieces. Yang Mingzhi grinned and stared at Yevlov who had just knocked on the table angrily.
After the atmosphere calmed down a little, he said helplessly: "This is the headquarters, and you are all senior officers. What's the point of quarreling here? Instead of quarreling, it's better to think about what we will do in the future! Yevlov, Fomin
, I, Berekov, am the military commander here, and I am unswerving in my attitude towards the strategy of attacking Loyev in the future. However, we must find ways to restrain the powerful threat of the German Air Force! So!" Yang Mingzhi was present again.
of everyone: “So, I need everyone’s brainstorming.”
Everyone was silent. Since even the commander couldn't think of a way to deal with this, what can everyone with little talent and knowledge do?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang Mingzhi knew that it was pointless for him to spend time here. Besides, it was already lunch time. "Okay! Everyone, let's think about countermeasures and let the commanders of each unit also think of solutions. It's time
In the evening, all the officers and political commissars at the battalion level and above will come to the main office of the headquarters for another meeting. If you have any good suggestions then, please tell me!"
At lunch, Yang Mingzhi was not satisfied with his lunch. He also quietly noticed that most of the soldiers eating were, without exception, talking about the enemy plane. The soldiers had different opinions, and two of them were worth pondering. One was complaining about the enemy plane.
The plane seemed immune to bullets, and one was worried about German air raids.
The success of electromagnetic interference makes Yang Mingzhi very proud. However, how to deal with the enemy's almost inevitable air attack is a big question.
Today's actual air defense combat exposed many problems of the troops. That is, the troops' air defense preparations were very poor. The enemy planes almost flew away before the air defense firepower began to unfold.
Of course Yang Mingzhi admitted that his work in this area was a mess. One of the reasons for this result was a serious lack of training. The sudden change in the troops' daily combat readiness level from level three to level one made the soldiers' response speed unsatisfactory. Furthermore,
It's just that the air defense weapons are backward, and the troops don't even have radar.
