Chapter 1238 - Protecting the Magnetron with Life
Further experiments proved that only the radar antenna was aimed in the direction of the Homnich ruins to make the noiseiest. This means that the source of the noise is the detected rockets.
The radar tests were completely successful, and the only early warning radar should have been put into service quickly.
Therefore, with the joy of victory in the successful experiment, the next work of the radar unit also began non-stop.
For Liu Hongxiu, things are moving too fast. Today's experiment was successful, and the next day he and his comrades were ordered to rush to the ruins of Homnich, where they set up a radar station for all-weather work. It had only been a month and a half since she escaped from the Nazis, 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 my own use, and it is my honor to be able to operate it. But the girl was also a little disappointed, because going to Homnich meant that she was not allowed to leave the station unless she had been specially appointed.
An order is an order, and in order to defend the guerrilla republic, it is possible to be accompanied by boredom only in remote areas.
After the end of the experiment, all radar crews began intense preparations. Yang Mingzhi hoped that the radar platoon would arrive in Homnich before noon on June 17 and be ready for work immediately.
This requires the soldiers of this unit to organize their daily necessities and weapons and equipment after lunch.
When the radar equipment is turned off, the unfolded antennas are bundled and tied up by cables. Yang Mingzhi improvised that the radar truck was one step ahead of the operator, which was due to the fact that the equipment was too large and more fragile, and the truck was in the form of a curved dirt road, so it could only be driven slowly for safety reasons.
From the village of blacksmiths to Homnich, the actual road is almost eighty kilometers! The trucks can reach speeds of up to 20 yards and leave before noon to reach their destination in the evening.
The truck driver drove the radar truck to take the lead, and the radar platoon was busy packing his bags, and the entire test site quickly returned to calm.
Yang Mingzhi and the others were undoubtedly ecstatic in their hearts, and the success of the experiment really surprised Salinch, and the old guy intended to have another banquet to celebrate this success. But Yang Mingzhi and Mu expect that this group of old hairmen is most enthusiastic about drinking, and this success is also called the reason for their drunkenness.
After the experiment, the real hustle and bustle has just begun!
The 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, and they have been entrusted with important tasks and will set off after lunch.
What are their minds? I guess I am full of expectations and reluctance.
Yang Mingzhi did not return to the headquarters directly, but personally followed these radar soldiers and went to their dormitory first. His idea was simple, through his own personal presence, in order to show that the command attaches great importance to the future work of the radar troops. And, of course, some words of concern.
A jeep drove to the door of the dormitory, and Yang Mingzhi greeted: "Comrades, after your daily necessities are packed, they are all placed on this jeep." The main thing is your bedding, don't take any miscellaneous things! ”
Miscellaneous stuff? Liu Hongxiu doesn't have these, all she has is three blankets, a cup to drink water, and a pair of chopsticks made by herself. The child carried her soft and walked out of the dormitory, and her small figure was almost submerged in a blanket.
"Peria! 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.
"Good." Yang Mingzhi nodded, "It seems that you are really a lot stronger." ”
"Of course!" The girl also returned to Chinese, "Father-in-law, you see, I will be your pride." ”
"You're very conscious." Yang Mingzhi had something to say in his heart, not only to her, but also to all the girls who were transferred to Homnic.
With the help of other fighters in the communications platoon, the four girls were all stuffed into the jeep, and the 82-barrel car that captured the Germans was also like a snail shell. The soldiers finished their work before lunch, and when they saw that the commander was still standing with his head held high behind his back, everyone couldn't help but gather.
The communications platoon commander Alexievich saw that the commander had something to say, so he shouted crisply: "All of them, assemble!" Attention! ”
Except for the signal corps who were on duty, all the dormitories were resting. Men and women, they lined up as usual, with their heads held high and their chins held high, showing their tiger and tiger might.
Homeopathically, after a polite remark, Yang Mingzhi also talked about the topic.
In particular, he emphasized: "Comrades who are about to go to Homnich! What awaits you will be the hardest and most glorious work. You will set up radar stations at the forefront of our army's front, and you will be the first early warning line of our army's air defense. After analysis by the command, the enemy aircraft took off from the vicinity of Gomel, so when the radar was put into service, the enemy aircraft would be exposed at the same time as they took off.
The air defense of the future guerrilla republic will not only need high-end anti-aircraft firepower, but the most important thing is the four of you!
Peria! Anna! Azalia! Diana!
The four of you were the first female radar soldiers of the great Soviet Union, and your very existence is the creation of history! I think this honor and pressure is enough to motivate you to work hard.
I have only one last point to emphasize on this. That is, when you are working, you are not allowed to be distracted! No desertion! Absolute vigilance must be maintained!
If, because of your distraction, the enemy aircraft cannot detect in time, you will be severely punished!
If the radar vehicle is in crisis, you must ensure that the box at the front of the radar antenna, even if it costs your life!
That's all I have to say, do you understand?! ”
"Got it! Comrade Commander! The four of them replied in unison, but everyone's psychology was also muttering.
Especially these four female soldiers, the commander just read their names, and they are completely nicknames! The fact that senior officers address their subordinates in this way only proves that these subordinates are deeply satisfied with the officers.
This is the words of the commander in the back are very serious, especially the last emphasis, that is, in case of an attack on the radar vehicle, the first thing to protect is the box at the front end of the antenna. This so-called box is the magnetron, and the girls are still in a state of partial understanding of radar technology, they at least know that the glass-wrapped equipment in the box is the core of radar.
In war, radar vehicles can also be damaged for various reasons, such as falling into deep mud during operations! Other equipment is easy to make, but magnetron!
The girls showed their attitude with their firm answers, and Yang Mingzhi knew very well that anyone could do the sonorous vows now, and the key was whether they could carry it out well.
"We'll see!" Yang Mingzhi clapped his hands and ordered all the communication soldiers to disband, except for the four selected people.
The reason why he did this was not that he still had anything to say, but that he announced that he would personally cook a sumptuous meal for them, which could be regarded as a blessing from the commander for the future life of the radar soldiers.
For the Russians of this era, Chinese food was amazing. Although it is just a simple home-cooked meal, because it is cooked by the commander himself, the significance is extraordinary.
