Today is their first day as radar soldiers, and every girl has great enthusiasm and even great nervousness.
In order to isolate the noise as much as possible, the iron door of the listening room was tightly closed, and there was only an oil lamp for lighting. This was a depressing room, and the pressure the girls carried made their work even more depressing.
Liu Hongxiu was actually looking forward to what she could monitor. She was eager to make meritorious deeds, and even more eager to witness the miracles created by this huge machine.
The time was only 6:5 in the morning, and suddenly, a faint noise came from the earphones that were supposed to be quiet.
The noise made the girl stand up in shock. She covered her ears and saw to her surprise that the tube began to flash red.
"Oops! Something's happening!"
She reacted quickly and stopped the rotation of the radar antenna, which was officially pointed in the direction of the city of Gomel.
Outdoors at this time, all the officers and soldiers of the Radar Platoon were having a meal. They received military rations from the defenders of Homnich Military Station, and ate potato and mushroom soup. The temperature in the morning was quite cool, and standing outdoors, the tired people
Can quickly feel full of energy.
The four radar soldiers actually did not have a comfortable rest. They were too excited, like Liu Hongxiu, and only slept for four hours! Thanks to the good rotation system, these girls were able to take time to take a nap.
However, the radar antenna suddenly stopped rotating, and this abnormal moment attracted everyone's attention.
When Diana saw this, she quickly rushed into the monitoring room. What she saw was not only Liu Hongxiu's overly excited face, but also the red-lit electronic tube.
"Periya! This...this is..."
"Yes! Yes! This must be an enemy plane! It can't be wrong!"
Saying that, Liu Hongxiu quickly took off his earphones and said, "Platoon leader, listen to this! There is no one behind this noise! It's the German plane!"
Diana snatched the earphones away, and she did hear the rustling noise. What was even more shocking was that the noise was obviously getting stronger!
"Not good! It has been sunny for many days now, and the enemy is likely to launch another air attack! Perlia!"
"arrive!"
"You continue to monitor and don't miss any details! I will report to the command center now!"
Through the direction pointed by the radar antenna, Diana easily drew a line on the regional map. This line continued to extend and indeed fell on the location of the city of Gomel. According to the radar design, at a distance of fifty kilometers
The search range was more than twenty kilometers, and Diana also judged that the enemy airport might be within a ten-kilometer radius of Gomel City.
Diana also knew that the commander-in-chief and deputy commander might still be resting at this time, but the comrades in the communications room of the headquarters must be concentrating on their duties.
Because the situation was so urgent, Diana no longer paid attention to the confidentiality regulations and directly broadcast to the headquarters in plain language through the radio.
She yelled into the walkie-talkie at the top of her lungs: "It's from the radar platoon! Quickly inform the commander-in-chief that we have discovered an enemy plane coming from Gomel! It's probably an air strike!"
This warning and bombshell undoubtedly caused a stir in the headquarters! The staff officers who got up early had a completely explosive mentality, and the orderlies did not care about anything. They ran to the officers’ dormitory like crazy and even violently attacked Yang Mingzhi’s body.
dormitory.
It was very embarrassing. At this moment, Yang Mingzhi was naturally dreaming of Spring and Autumn with his arms around his wife. Even the morning exercises of outdoor soldiers did not disturb his clear dreams. However, the sudden arrival of the guards frightened him and he subconsciously pulled out the penis hidden in his pillow.
Tokarev was unloaded, loaded the gun in one second, and pointed the gun directly at the messenger.
"Report! Report to the commander! Something happened!"
"Damn it!" Yang Mingzhi slowly put down his pistol and complained: "What on earth is going on?! Are the soldiers now so reckless?! Tell me, what is the big deal!"
"It's the radar platoon! They spotted an enemy plane! It might be an air raid."
As soon as he heard the phrase "enemy plane", it was as if there were needles in the bed. Yang Mingzhi jumped up instantly, and also caused Yang Tao, who didn't know what was going on, to get up.
Yang Mingzhi got off the ground quickly, quickly put on his clothes, and gave an order on the spot: "Commander, send me the order! Immediately notify the collective farm to sound the air defense alarm! Inform all villagers to enter the forest shelter! Inform all soldiers to enter the first level of combat readiness!
Inform the air defense battalion and prepare the anti-aircraft machine guns immediately!"
"As ordered! Comrade Commander!"
At this moment, Yang Tao was confused. She also received her husband's order and immediately changed her clothes and rushed to the hospital, taking the most expensive medicines with her and transferring all the sick and wounded!
Yang Mingzhi was still unclear about the specific situation. He believed that his emergency order was very correct. When he came to the headquarters and actually communicated with Diana, he was relieved to find that the decision he made was so correct.
In the radar platoon, the telegraph machine was moved to the listening room. Yang Mingzhi had already heard those damn noises through the radio. Compared with Diana's pile of reports, this noise said everything!
It was only the first day that the early warning radar was officially put into service, and it actually got off to a good start? However, who would be happy about such a good start?!
Yang Mingzhi still didn't know how many enemy planes there were, how many aerial bombs the enemy carried, and where the target of the attack was.
Based on his last experience, the enemy may also focus on the mine. He immediately notified the mine defenders. The order was very simple, that is, to terminate all operations and conduct air defense and concealment!
Throughout the blacksmith village, and even the other two large collective farms, air raid sirens rang this morning. The announcers in each village even shouted at the top of their lungs: "The Germans are about to launch an air attack! Everyone evacuated their homes immediately, taking their valuables with them."
Evacuate items! You only have fifteen minutes! This is not a drill! This is not a drill!"
Yang Mingzhi believed that the fastest it would take for the German troops to fly to Blacksmith Village was half an hour. Because a little time was wasted, the fifteen minutes of air defense evasion ordered for the soldiers and civilians was actually enough time.
These villagers are very aware of current affairs. When it comes to life and property, of course everyone must save their lives. Besides, the value of the finances they have is only so much!
Tens of thousands of villagers quickly packed up their families and headed into the depths of the forest under the organization of labor teams.
In just fifteen minutes, the entire residential area of Blacksmith Village was deserted. People were resting in the dense forest, waiting anxiously for the German air raid! Of course, they really hoped that this was just an exercise.
However, German aircraft do exist and this is indeed not a drill.
It turned out that only twenty minutes after Liu Hongxiu discovered the traces of the enemy plane, the ground personnel at Homnich noticed the faint sound in the sky. The noise monitored by Liu Hongxiu also suddenly stopped. This was not the disappearance of the enemy plane, but the disappearance of the enemy plane.
The enemy plane had just flown over the ruins and was out of the microwave range of the radar.
The girl skillfully operated the buttons, corrected the direction of the radar antenna, and quickly received the noise again.
This operation of the radar has proved everything. In addition to communicating with the command center, Diana also performed some mathematical calculations.
That is, if it is determined that this is a reconnaissance aircraft, then its flight speed is around 250 kilometers, and an approximate value can be calculated based on the time it was detected.
By estimating the radar wave detection range, Diana made a bold judgment that the airport where the enemy plane took off was somewhere no more than ten kilometers north of Gomel!
