Further experiments proved that the noise was greatest only when the radar antenna was pointed in the direction of the Homnage ruins. This showed that the source of the noise was the detected rockets.
The radar test was completely successful, and the only early warning radar should be put into use quickly.
Therefore, with the joy of victory that the experiment was successful, the next work of the radar unit began non-stop.
For Liu Hongxiu, things developed too fast. Today's experiment was successful. The next day, she and her comrades were ordered to rush to the ruins of Homnich and set up a radar station there for round-the-clock work. She escaped from the hands of the Nazis.
It had only been a month and a half since she escaped, and what she had experienced in this short period of time was far beyond the girl's imagination.
Fortunately, this high-tech equipment is for her own use, and it is really her honor to be able to operate it. But the girl is also a little disappointed, because going to Homnage means that she is not allowed to leave unless there is a special appointment.
station.
An order is an order. In order to defend the guerrilla republic, we can only live with boredom in remote areas.
After the experiment, all the radar soldiers began intense preparations. Yang Mingzhi hoped that the radar platoon would arrive at Homnich before noon on June 17 and start work immediately.
This requires the soldiers of this unit to sort out their daily supplies and weapons and equipment after lunch.
After the radar equipment was turned off, the unfolded antennas were bundled up and tied up with cables. Yang Mingzhi improvised and the radar truck was one step ahead of the operators. This was because the equipment was too large and more fragile, and the truck was in the shape of a curved dirt road.
For safety reasons, you can only drive slowly.
The actual road from Blacksmith Village to Homnage is nearly 80 kilometers! The speed of the truck can only reach 20 yards at most. It sets off before noon and can reach its destination in the evening.
The truck driver drove the radar truck one step ahead. The radar platoon was busy packing their bags, and the entire test site quickly returned to calm.
Yang Mingzhi and everyone were undoubtedly ecstatic in their hearts. The success of the experiment really surprised Salinchin. This old guy intended to hold another banquet to celebrate this success. But Yang Mingzhi was not looking forward to it. These old guys
Mao Zi is most passionate about drinking, and this success is also the reason why they get drunk.
After the experiment, the real busyness has just begun!
Four full-time radar soldiers are about to leave the communications room of the headquarters where they have lived and worked for a long time. They have been entrusted with important tasks and will set off after lunch.
What are their thoughts? They are probably full of expectations and reluctant to give up.
Yang Mingzhi did not return directly to the headquarters, but followed the radar soldiers in person and went to their dormitories first. His idea was simple. Through his personal visit, he would show that the headquarters attaches great importance to the future work of the radar soldiers.
.Of course, we also need to say some words of concern.
A jeep drove to the door of the dormitory, and Yang Mingzhi greeted: "Comrades, after packing your daily necessities, put them on this jeep. Mainly your bedding, don't take any miscellaneous things!"
Miscellaneous things? Liu Hongxiu didn't have these. All she had was three blankets, a drinking cup, and a pair of chopsticks made by herself. The child carried her baby by herself and walked out of the dormitory. Her small figure was almost the size of the blanket.
submerged.
"Periya! Do you want me to help?"
"No need! Comrade Commander."
The girl staggered over, put the blanket on the back seat of the jeep, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and smiled at her beloved commander.
"Very good." Yang Mingzhi nodded, "It seems that you are really much stronger."
"Of course!" The girl also spoke Chinese again, "Father, look at it, I will become your pride."
"You have a very good consciousness." Yang Mingzhi had something in mind, not just to her, but to all the girls who were transferred to Homnage.
With the help of other soldiers from the communications platoon, the four girls' belongings were stuffed into the jeep. This 82-barrel truck that had been captured by the German army seemed to be carrying a snail shell. The soldiers finished their work before lunch, and saw that the commander was still there.
He stood with his hands behind his back and his head held high, and everyone couldn't help but gather around.
Alexeyevich, the communications platoon leader, could see that the commander had something to say, so he shouted crisply: "Everyone is here, assemble! Stand at attention!"
Except for the signal soldiers who were on duty, all the rest in the dormitories gathered together. Male soldiers and female soldiers lined up as usual, holding their heads high, chests high and chins raised, showing off their power.
Following the trend, after some polite words, Yang Mingzhi also got down to the topic.
He particularly emphasized: "Comrades who are about to go to Homnich! What awaits you will be the most arduous and glorious work. You will set up radar stations at the forefront of our army's front, and you will be the first element of our army's air defense.
An early warning line. After analysis by the headquarters, the enemy plane took off from near Gomel. Therefore, when the radar is put into use, the enemy plane will be exposed as it takes off.
The future air defense of the guerrilla republic will not only require high-end air defense firepower, but the most important thing is the four of you!
Perlia! Anna! Azalea! Diana!
The four of you are the first batch of female radar soldiers of the great Soviet Union. Your existence itself has created history! I think this honor and pressure are enough to motivate you to work hard.
In this regard, I have only one last point to emphasize. That is, when working, no distractions are allowed! No desertion is allowed! Absolute vigilance must be maintained!
If the enemy aircraft is unable to detect in time due to your distraction, you will be severely punished!
If the radar truck is in crisis, you must secure the box at the front of the radar antenna, even if it costs your life!
That’s what I’m going to say, do you understand?!”
"I understand! Comrade Commander!" The four people replied in unison, but everyone was also muttering mentally.
Especially for these four female soldiers, the commander just pronounced their names as nicknames! Senior officers calling their subordinates this way only proves that these subordinates are deeply satisfied with the officers.
This is what the commander said later, which is very serious, especially the last emphasis, that is, if the radar vehicle is attacked, the first thing to protect is the box at the front of the antenna. This so-called box is the magnetron. Girls are very interested in radar technology.
Still in a semi-understanding state, they at least knew that the glass-wrapped device inside the box was the core of the radar.
During the war, the radar vehicle may be damaged due to various reasons, such as being stuck in deep mud during operations! Other equipment is easy to manufacture, but the magnetron is the only one!
The girls expressed their attitude with their firm answers. Yang Mingzhi knew very well that anyone can make the sonorous and powerful oath now, the key lies in whether they can implement it well.
"Let's wait and see!" Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands and ordered all the communications troops to disband, except for the four selected ones.
The reason for doing this was not that he had anything else to say, but rather that he announced that he would personally cook a sumptuous meal for them, which was considered as a blessing from the commander for the radar soldier's future life.
For Russians in this era, Chinese food is amazing. Although it is just a simple home-cooked meal, it is of extraordinary significance because it is cooked by the commander himself.
