Tens of thousands of villagers are hiding in the forest, their vigilant eyes looking through the gaps in the leaves, and their ears perceiving suspicious noises.

All the servicemen received the order to fight, they quickly received weapons and ammunition to fire at the air at the necessary moment. Because even if it is a rifle, it is possible to shoot down an enemy plane if used in a centralized manner.

The soldiers did not know how many enemy planes there were, but in short, the first to detect the enemy was indeed detected by the guerrilla republic's black technology, the only early warning radar. Based on this situation, quite a number of fighters are complacent, and they have grasped the opportunity and are quite confident in the next air defense operation.

However, intelligence is getting all the time!

Yang Mingzhi and other high-ranking officers have already gathered in the headquarters, and it stands to reason that they should also avoid the air raid siren.

As Diana continued to revise her intelligence, the true situation of the enemy became clearer.

Yes, the enemy's reconnaissance aircraft are coming again.

"Haha? Scouts? We evacuated aggressively, and we were frightened by this damn reconnaissance plane? "Yevlov, who learned the exact situation, his nervousness was gone!

Regarding this result, Yang Mingzhi's expression was better to laugh than to cry.

He shrugged: "Forget it! Never mind! The evacuation has already begun, and our troops are moving quickly. The enemy plane will soon fly over the heads of our troops, although it is only a reconnaissance plane, I want to see what the enemy has to do! ”

In view of this situation, Yang Mingzhi urgently sent a telegram to the air defense battalion.

Today's air defense battalions are much stronger, not only equipped with six Deshka heavy machine guns, but also more than ten eight-fold anti-aircraft machine guns, the fly in the ointment is the lack of anti-aircraft guns, even small-caliber ones. The personnel of the anti-aircraft battalion were also greatly strengthened by the last air assistance, especially the airborne crew headed by Ivanov, who, naturally, had a common language with Podovich and were directly integrated into the anti-aircraft battalion.

The so-called excellent bomber pilots also know better how to beat down enemy planes.

Knowing that the enemy plane was coming, the entire air defense battalion sharpened its fists!

It took them only ten minutes to lift out the Deshka heavy machine gun that had been placed in the warehouse, and the soldiers wrapped the bullet chains around their bodies as if they were wearing special armor, like Rambo. They quickly set up their air defense positions and waited for enemy planes to appear and carry out air defense orders.

However, they did receive an order to prohibit firing!

Podovich, of course, was very dissatisfied, this was the order of the commander himself, and he was not stupid enough to disobey the military order.

On the other hand, for the White Stork reconnaissance plane, and its pilot Paul, he had no idea that he had fallen into the radiation of high-energy microwaves in the distance from the moment he took off to an altitude of 500 meters! He had already been exposed, and he didn't know it!

Paul was in a good mood, and he went straight to the mines of the Soviet army, for this vast forest, he did not want to stay even a little longer.

The German officers had long known the exact location of the Soviet stronghold in the swamps, a very large area covered by dense forests. If carpet bombing had been used, the amount of ammunition that would later be known as the "Van Vliet type" would have caused devastating casualties to the Soviet army.

The Germans could not do this, their firepower could not even fight against the Soviet artillery in full condition! The Germans, who were attacking on the front line, were forced to stop pursuing the Southwestern Front on June 10, and one of the reasons was that they were bombarded by Soviet Katyusha rockets!

Against the Soviets in the swamps, the Germans had to find valuable targets to focus on, so Paul's work was very important.

The White Stork fighter flew over the blacksmith village in a swaying manner, and it did not receive a single bullet.

Thousands of Soviet soldiers on the ground received a death order from the command to watch the reconnaissance plane leave. The soldiers were unwilling, but the enemy planes flew too high, and when they weighed the weapons in their hands, the bullets seemed to be out of reach.

The soldiers and civilians saluted at the reconnaissance plane, and everyone noticed that it was heading straight for the mine.

On the other hand, Joshua received an urgent order from the command at the first moment. Although the blacksmith village was ordered to ban fire, the mine was ordered to pour fire on enemy aircraft!

At present, the elite 2nd Regiment of the 284th Division has been withdrawn from the mine and replaced by the 2nd Regiment of the Independent Regiment, the so-called Medvedev Regiment, which should have been stationed here long ago.

This unit has just arrived, and 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, of course, are hidden in the forest, and as for those fake barracks, the 2nd Regiment of the 284th Division has already completed the preliminary construction, and Medvedev's task is to decorate it more like a real barracks!

This false barracks must be detected by the enemy! Therefore, when the German reconnaissance plane suddenly appeared, Yang Mingzhi also made a plan, and the reason why he ordered Joshua to pour fire was indeed to attract the attention of the German army and make the enemy believe that they had found an extremely important target.

Intriguingly, the so-called important goals are actually built on silt!

After all, it was just a reconnaissance aircraft, and the firepower was about equal to zero.

More than two thousand fighters of Medvedev's regiment also received combat orders. These soldiers were full of resentment against the German army, and today was also the second day of their arrival here, and they had the opportunity to fight the enemy here.

They cooperated with the women's barracks, and gathered in the false camp, their guns pointed at the blue sky.

As for the German reconnaissance planes, the pilot Paul was inevitably a little timid about the Russians' mines, and it was here that the three fighters were shot down by the Russians! He didn't want to take risks, and after getting closer to his goal, the sight in front of him drove him to take another risk.

Even at an altitude of three thousand meters, Paul was stunned by what he saw.

"My God! Are these Russians monsters? Sure enough, they were mining, and they built a new barracks for the miners! What a big barracks! ”

Paul subconsciously turned on the on-board radio, and the result was also shocking, because the once unbelievable radio interference did not happen today. He was able to communicate directly with the Air Brigade.

He immediately made a report: "I saw that the Russians had built a new camp on the east side of the ruins of the mine, near the Dnieper! Its scope is huge, presumably the new barracks of Russian miners! ”

"I decided to lower the height to check closely! Please take notes! ”

"Oops! My God, where is this miners' barracks, it's more like a barracks! ”

"Oops, I've been attacked by them! Oh no, I got shot in the wing! ”

"Did you record it? I saw a large number of armed men on the ground, and they were firing at me! What a damn one! Why did I go on my own this time, if we can send out bombers, we will definitely achieve great results! ”

"Not good! I was shot again in the right wing! If I keep going like this, I'll crash! I have to go back! ”

……

Through the radio, Koch could conjure up memories of Paul's terrible experience a hundred kilometers away. He was worried, for the background of Paul's words was filled with the noise of gunfire and the crackling of bullets hitting planes.

Paul was indeed attacked by Soviet anti-aircraft fire, and as a veteran and an extremely lucky man, after he quickly increased his altitude, the Soviet anti-aircraft fire could no longer shoot effectively!

Another injured "White Stork", fortunately it did not burn, the wings were damaged, and it could barely fly, but the speed could not be maintained, and the flight altitude was forced to be reduced.

Paul did not return the way he came, he made a counterclockwise circle in the mine, flew in the direction of Slavtish, made a turn, and flew straight towards Gomel.

Paul returned victoriously with important information from the reconnaissance, and the Germans believed that this reconnaissance had really discovered an important Soviet barracks! The Koch Aviation Brigade was excited about this, and now the remaining fighter pilots have a 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 Germans had reason to believe that they had won a major reconnaissance victory, and the Soviets had reason to believe that they had won an air defense victory.

In particular, when the German reconnaissance plane returned, the Soviet army's early warning radar was always chasing the echo signals, and Diana calculated the enemy's approximate flight route on the regional map and through analytical geometry based on these tracking signals.

Undoubtedly, the combat readiness duty of the early warning radar on the first day achieved a resounding victory!
