Tens of thousands of villagers are hiding in the forest, with pairs of vigilant eyes looking at the blueprint through the gaps in the leaves, and each ear picking up suspicious noises.
After all the soldiers received the combat order, they quickly obtained weapons and ammunition and fired into the air when necessary. Because even rifles can shoot down enemy planes when used together.
The soldiers did not know how many enemy planes there were. In short, the earliest detection of the enemy was indeed detected by the Guerrilla Republic's black technology-the only early warning radar. Based on this situation, quite a few soldiers were complacent.
We have gained the opportunity and are quite confident in the upcoming air defense operations.
However, intelligence is always changing!
Yang Mingzhi and other senior officers have already gathered at the headquarters. Logically speaking, they should avoid the air raid warning.
As Diana continued to revise the intelligence, the true situation of the enemy became more and more apparent.
Yes, the enemy reconnaissance plane is here again.
"Haha? Reconnaissance plane? We were frightened by this damn reconnaissance plane when we evacuated in such a big way?" When Yevlov learned the exact situation, his nervousness disappeared!
Regarding this result, Yang Mingzhi's expression was that it was better to laugh than to cry.
He shrugged: "Forget it! Forget it! The evacuation has begun, and our army is moving very quickly. The enemy plane will soon fly over our army's head. Although it is only a reconnaissance plane, I want to see what the enemy is going to do.
!”
In response to this situation, Yang Mingzhi urgently sent a telegram to the air defense battalion.
Today's air defense battalions are greatly strengthened. Not only are they equipped with six Deshka heavy machine guns with outstanding air defense capabilities, they also have more than ten eight-unit anti-aircraft machine guns. The only drawback is the lack of anti-aircraft guns, even small-caliber ones.
The personnel of the air defense battalion were also greatly strengthened due to the last air assistance, especially the airborne crew headed by Ivanov. Naturally, they had a common language with Podovich, so they were directly incorporated into the air defense battalion.
The so-called excellent bomber pilots also know better how to knock down enemy planes.
When they learned that the enemy plane was incoming, the entire air defense battalion was gearing up!
It only took them ten minutes to bring out the Deshka heavy machine gun from the warehouse. The soldiers wrapped their bullet belts around their bodies as if they were wearing special armor, just like Rambos. They quickly arranged air defense positions
, just waiting for the enemy plane to appear and execute the air defense order.
However, they did receive orders not to fire!
Of course Podovich was very dissatisfied. This was an order from the commander himself, and he was not stupid enough to disobey military orders.
On the other hand, for the White Stork reconnaissance plane and its pilot Paul, he had no idea that when he took off and reached an altitude of 500 meters, he would be exposed to distant high-energy microwaves! He had already been exposed.
, he just didn’t know it at the time!
Paul was in a good mood. He went straight to the Soviet mine. He didn't want to stay in this vast forest for even a while.
The German officers had long known the exact location of the Soviet stronghold in the swamp. It was a very large area covered by dense forest. If carpet bombing was used, it would be called the "Van Fleet type" in later generations.
The amount of ammunition should be able to cause devastating casualties to the Soviet army.
The German army could not do this. Their firepower could not even compete with the Soviet artillery at full strength! The German army attacking on the front line was forced to stop pursuing the Southwest Front on June 10. One reason was that they encountered the Soviet Katyu Army.
The crazy bombing of Sha rockets!
Against the Soviet army in the swamps, the German army had to find valuable targets to attack intensively, so Paul's work became very important.
The White Stork fighter jet flew unsteadily directly above the Blacksmith Village without being hit by even a single bullet.
Thousands of Soviet soldiers on the ground received a death order from the command headquarters and watched the reconnaissance plane leave. The soldiers were unwilling to do so, but the enemy plane was flying too high. They weighed the weapons in their hands, and the bullets seemed to
It really can't be reached.
The soldiers and civilians paid attention to the reconnaissance plane, and everyone noticed that it was heading straight for the mine.
On the other hand, Joshua received an emergency order from the headquarters immediately. Although the blacksmith village was ordered to prohibit firing, the mine was ordered to pour firepower on the enemy planes!
Currently, the elite Second Regiment of the 284th Division has been withdrawn from the mine, and has been replaced by the Second Regiment of the Independent Regiment, the so-called Medvedev Regiment, which should have been stationed here long ago.
This unit has just arrived here. They have two tasks. The first is to participate in mining, and the second is to build fake barracks.
The real barracks of Medvedev's regiment are of course hidden in the forest. As for the fake barracks, the Second Regiment of the 284th Division has completed preliminary construction. Medvedev's task is to decorate them more like a real military camp!
This false military camp must be detected by the enemy! So when the German reconnaissance plane suddenly appeared, Yang Mingzhi took advantage of it. The reason why he ordered Joshua to pour out firepower was to attract the attention of the German army and make the enemy believe that they had discovered something terrible.
important goals.
What is intriguing is that the so-called important goals are actually built on mud!
After all, it was just a reconnaissance plane, with approximately zero firepower.
More than 2,000 soldiers from Medvedev's regiment also received combat orders. These soldiers are full of resentment towards the German army. Today is also the second day they arrived here. They have the opportunity to fight the enemy already here. The grassroots soldiers are naturally grinding their fists.
Oops.
They cooperated with the female barracks and gathered in the false camp, their guns pointing towards the blue sky.
As for the German reconnaissance planes, the pilot Paul was a little timid about the Russian mines. Three fighter planes were directly shot down by the Russians here! He didn't want to take risks. After gradually approaching the target, the sight in front of him forced him to take risks.
once.
Even at an altitude of three thousand meters, Paul was stunned by the sight before him.
"My God! Are these Russians monsters? They are indeed mining, and they even built a new barracks specifically for the miners! What a large barracks!"
Paul subconsciously turned on the onboard radio, and the result was shocking, because the once incredible radio interference did not occur today. He could directly contact the aviation brigade.
He immediately made a report: "I saw the Russians building a new camp on the east side of the ruins of the mine, near the Dnieper River! It is very large, and it must be the new barracks for Russian miners!"
"I decided to lower the height and check carefully! Please take notes!"
"Oh! My God, this is not a miner's barracks. It's more like a military camp!"
"Oops, I was attacked by them! Oops, my wing was shot!"
"Did you record it? I saw a large number of armed men on the ground, and they were firing at me! Damn it! Why did I go by myself this time? If we can dispatch bombers, we will definitely achieve significant results!"
"No! My right wing was hit again! If this continues, I will crash! I have to return!"
…
Through the radio, Koch could think of Paul's bad experience a hundred kilometers away. He was worried, because from Paul's words, the background was filled with noise like gunshots and the crackle of bullets hitting the plane.
Voice.
Paul was indeed attacked by Soviet anti-aircraft fire. As a veteran and an extremely lucky man, after he quickly raised his altitude, the Soviet anti-aircraft fire could no longer fire effectively!
Another injured "White Stork". Fortunately, it did not burn. The wings were damaged and it could still fly. However, the speed could not be maintained and the flying altitude was forced to decrease.
Paul did not return the way he came. After he circled counterclockwise in the mine, he flew towards Slavdich, made a turn, and flew straight towards Gomel.
Paul returned successfully with important information from the reconnaissance. The Germans believed that this reconnaissance had really discovered an important Soviet military camp! The Koch Aviation Group was excited about this. Now the remaining fighter pilots had reason to apply for an air strike!
For the Soviet army, this encounter was the first battle of early warning radar and a successful air defense exercise using early warning radar.
The German army had reason to believe that they had achieved a major reconnaissance victory, and the Soviet army had reason to believe that they had achieved an air defense victory.
Especially when the German reconnaissance planes returned, the Soviet early warning radar was always tracking the echo signals. Based on these tracking signals, Diana calculated the approximate enemy's flight route through analytical geometry on the regional map.
Undoubtedly, the early warning radar's first day of combat readiness was a resounding victory!
