However, the matter of burning the chicken to ashes quickly spread throughout the guerrilla republic with a genuine editorial in the Novgomel Daily.

The vast number of military and civilian people get such propaganda that the radar succeeds in a special way!

What is Radar? It is said that with this device, the whereabouts of enemy planes are exposed as long as they fly together! The vast number of non-combatants, who are the most vulnerable, are also the cornerstone of the guerrilla republic! When Bersky wrote this editorial, of course, he had to take into account that after the article was published, it had to be like a shot in the arm to boost morale.

Everything went as he wished, and as a result of the investigation by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the morale of the military and civilians was indeed greatly improved. Many even believe that there is no threat of air strikes in the future. There is even a rumor that the so-called "smog control will end soon".

A powerful air raid, thousands of casualties, such a horrific scene made the majority of civilians really follow the orders of their superiors. They only light a fire at night, cook or roast the potatoes, and then eat the cold potatoes during the day. Truth be told, just nibbling on the potatoes is bad enough, it's still cold. Everyone is enduring all kinds of difficulties for safety, but everyone still wants to eat hot meals!

This was one of the many unexpected commotions caused by the roast chicken experiment. It was even said that radar could burn the enemy at a distance, and that if the Great Motherland had made more such equipment, the German tank drivers would have been easily burned to death.

A lot of bizarre theories were sorted out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, that is, sent to Salinchkin, and also to the command of the army group.

On the other hand, Yang Mingzhi really has no time to look at the so-called bizarre theories. He just glanced at the report and pointed out to the laughing Yevlov: "Now I can only say that our people are really full of imagination!" Some of the ideas they put forward were indeed constructive. ”

"You mean about smoke control?"

"That's right! Perhaps we have gone too far in this matter, and we have been too conservative in the threat of air strikes! ”

"By the time your radar is up and running, I think the smoke control will be over!"

Yang Mingzhi nodded: "It depends on our next experiment." ”

On the other hand, after the roast chicken incident, the arsenal began to prepare for the experiment non-stop.

The pressure was also great, and he was ordered to produce 100 "Monkeys", the kind of small-caliber rockets that were used to equip the troops last year, except that they did not have warheads.

This is actually a fairly mature weapon, and on the whole, it looks exactly like the rockets of hundreds of years ago! The warhead, which was originally a small bomb, no longer exists, it is a purely pure rocket.

It is quite easy to create this batch of rockets in a short time. After all, these rockets rolled out of cardboard are originally used as the booster part of the RPG warhead, and compared to the casting and turning of the warhead, the manufacture of booster rockets can really be described as mass production!

After an intense night of overtime, the workers completed the manufacture of this batch of 100 rockets. They were packed and loaded onto wagons to their final destination, Homnich Station.

At present, the total number of military and civilian personnel at the Homnich station is as high as 2,000 people, and Alexander Kolkin has been in charge of it for a long time, and he has also grown from a communications squad leader to the head of a settlement, the so-called station chief. He had a militia battalion of more than 500 men, and that number was slowly increasing.

These militiamen are basically middle-aged men between the ages of 40 and 60, and such people are not good material for elite soldiers, but the guerrilla republic has no choice. Such a soldier cannot be expected to be able to wear forest legs, after all, the age of the person is here. These fighters have long served as security guards at the Homnich station, supervising the civilians who have settled there, especially those who are Jewish!

Among the troops was a predominantly Jewish-led unit, the Jewish battalion of Vasilyev. With the current formation, they belong to the 1st Regiment of the 284th Division and are stationed in the village of Catfish. However, a large number of Jewish civilians were gradually placed at the Homnich station.

In this war, Jews were targeted for killing, in reprisals, and Jews who were thought to be able to serve as soldiers were the first to join the militia, so Corkin's militia camp had such bearded elderly Jewish soldiers.

The depot was more often civilian, especially since the nearly 1,000 Jewish refugees who were rescued by the train interception eventually built a settlement in the forest on the edge of the ruins of Homnich and built houses out of the rubble, thus regiving the small city of Homnich a new life.

But after all, this is a little far from the core area of the partisan republic, and fifty kilometers to the north is the German defense line! Fifty kilometers is actually a very long way away, and the soldiers and civilians living here are still quite worried, if the enemy encircles and suppresses it on a large scale, Homnich will be the first to bear the brunt of the front!

Homnich is such a strategic point, even if it is full of ruins, its value is still the same!

So in Yang Mingzhi's conception, the radar car should drive to Homnich and scan the northern sky every day.

Now Homnich received an urgent telegram from the blacksmith village that a convoy was going to arrive with a large number of rockets. Corkin did not dare to slack off, he had already learned that this was the target that his superiors were going to prepare for a formal radar test! He was ordered to follow the radio command of the blacksmith village at the scheduled time on the 16th and ignite the rockets in turn, and the follow-up was not their business.

Therefore, whether the radar test can succeed or not is almost due to the good cooperation of the Homnich side!

The blacksmith village is forty kilometers away from Homnich, and the radar vehicle is placed in the open area north of the village, so it can really detect the echoes reflected by rockets in the distance? Yang Mingzhi is actually a little worried, after all, these rockets are too thin, and he can only hope that a large number of rockets will be launched at the same time, so as to get a strong reflected wave.

Everything went according to plan, and after talking to Yevlov and others, he also went to the arsenal to supervise the work himself.

The wagon transporting the rockets departed on the morning of 15 June and was expected to arrive at its destination before dark. Yang Mingzhi did not ask the horse convoy to race wildly on the rather muddy road, but only asked not to go wrong.

This time is poor, and he has a reason to surprise train these radar soldiers!

A temporary radar platoon was established, and the core of the establishment was these four radar soldiers. In addition, there were truck drivers, mechanics, stokers, full-time clerks of coal and simple guards, and the total number exceeded 30.

The platoon commander of the radar platoon was none other than Diana.

This female soldier has been promoted!

The radar truck drove to the open space north of the village, and in front of it was actually a large green potato field. The radar vehicle was fixed, and the folded antenna was deployed again. In fact, on the afternoon of 15 June, the radar had been turned on several times, and the four radar soldiers also conducted a listening exercise.

Under the watchful eye of the guards, the radar antenna began to swing periodically from side to side, which was called scanning. The radar wave had actually been sent to the airspace more than sixty kilometers away, and the girls received nothing because there were no obstacles.

Diana wore headphones as if she were operating a telegraph. But her ears were so quiet that she was even a little surprised at the excessive quietness, because many of the parts of this radar device did come from the radio, which had been modified to hear only the microwave frequencies emitted by the only magnetron.

For a while, she had a strong illusion, and after the shift was handed over, her questions immediately rushed to Yang Mingzhi like a flood.

"Comrade Commander! Isn't the radar already turned on? I can't hear anything! Could it be that there is a problem with the radar? ”

"Do you see the tube shining?" Yang Mingzhi asked.

"Nope!"

"That's right!" As he spoke, Yang Mingzhi raised his finger and pointed straight to the north. "Come and see, there are only some clouds in the northern sky, and there are no actual obstacles there, so we don't get any feedback. Tomorrow will be different, there will be a large number of rockets flying up to a height of thousands of meters, they will form a huge obstacle, and when the time comes, you can hear the noise. ”

"Is it really that amazing?!" Diana's eyes widened and she stared at the commander wistfully.

Being looked at like this by female soldiers, Yang Mingzhi did feel uncomfortable. He coughed: "Of course! Later you will be placed in Homnich, and in the future there will be not only a radio relay station, but also our radar station! The burden on your female volleyball captain is very heavy! ”

"It's okay! Serving the motherland is the most honorable thing for me! ”

"Huh! I will convey your bold words to Comrade Salinchkin, and he may even convey them to the leader! Take your people to do a good job, and you will definitely have the opportunity to make great contributions! ”
