China's self-developed and produced new artillery reconnaissance and calibration radar has completed the anti-jamming performance test with near-perfect performance, and there were originally several comparative test items in the future, but because the British side proposed to terminate the comparative test of the artillery radar, according to the British, their personnel are not adapted to the climate and environment here.

But those who know the inside story understand that this is just a plausible step for the British, and the real reason is that China's artillery reconnaissance and school firing radar is too superior, and it is simply self-inflicted humiliation for the British-made "Simberlin" to continue to compete with it, so these arrogant British gentlemen will naturally not stretch their faces over and let China beat them wildly, so they can only leave this test site that makes them heartbroken.

However, although Anderson, Brown, and others left Xuanzhou with their tails between their legs, the more they thought about it, the more wrong they became, and a series of questions lingered in their minds: When did China have such an advanced artillery radar? Why did their technology suddenly make such a big leap? Does China really have the ability to process and manufacture military electronics comparable to the world's advanced level?

These confusing questions, the British naturally will not be so brainy as to really believe that the progress of the Chinese is God's help, or the help of alien civilizations, but immediately deduce that China will inevitably receive external technical assistance in artillery radar, especially Anderson, who has worked in China for many years and knows the level of China's industrial technology, can be described as convinced.

Because of this, when he returned to the British Embassy in China, he wrote a detailed report overnight and sent it to MI6 headquarters on the banks of the River Thames in London, England.

At the same time, he also devoted a lot of space to the possibility that China may receive external technical assistance, and listed several key suspects, and suggested that the headquarters carry out an independent secret investigation, vowing to find the technology provider behind it, and regain the lost face of the British Empire!

After receiving Anderson's report. Naturally, special attention was paid to it, because although Anderson was in charge of the entire plan of arms sales to China, the mastermind behind it was indeed this mysterious spy agency, and it failed in such a disgraceful way. Naturally, the MI6 bosses will not tolerate such a humiliating defeat.

Therefore, he immediately began to start a secret investigation, and even his closest ally, the United States, not to mention France, Italy, etc., but although the secret investigation was in full swing, it was unusually calm on the surface. It's as if this intense comparative test hadn't happened in the first place.

The reason is also very simple, after all, the British side of this test is disgraced to grandma's house, once such a result is made public, not to mention this world-selling artillery radar, even the reputation of the entire British industry will be disgraced, and then affect the British share of the world arms market, therefore, all walks of life in the UK have reached a consensus on this comparative test, that is, to strictly guard the secret of this failure!

Britain is not the only one that has also taken strict secrecy, but China has also taken this step in a fierce confrontation with its artillery radar at the test site. However, unlike the British side's position on arms sales, China's adoption of secrecy is based on the actual needs of the Sino-Vietnamese border.

Since the end of the large-scale Sino-Vietnamese war in 79 years, the armed conflict in the Sino-Vietnamese border in Gaoshan and other places has never stopped, especially the artillery attacks of the Vietnamese army have intensified, and thousands of shells have fallen on the Chinese side every month, posing a great threat to the production and property safety of the people in the border areas.

In addition to using mortars to carry out guerrilla warfare attacks, the Vietnamese side has also used 152mm and 130mm caliber heavy artillery provided by the Soviet Union to carry out a large-scale firepower coverage attack on China's border by relying on the advantages of the anti-slope and the long firing range. Heavy losses were inflicted on the garrisons on the border and the local population.

Not only that, but Vietnam uses the state media to make a big splash after each artillery incursion, while promoting its aggression. In particular, in the latest issue of the Vietnam Daily, they even reported on an artillery unit stationed on the Sino-Vietnamese border, in which they unashamedly said that this artillery unit was a straight and steel soldier, not only equipped with advanced equipment, but also world-class in terms of technology and tactics. Since its formation, it has not tasted defeat, and it has made the Chinese side fearful, and has become an important cornerstone of Vietnam's attack on China!

In the face of such provocation and clamor from Vietnam, both the military and the top brass had long wanted to use thunderous means to defeat Vietnam's arrogance, but the means of response at that time were limited, and although several targeted counterattacks were carried out, the results were not ideal.

Now, the extremely excellent performance of the new domestic artillery reconnaissance and calibration radar in the comparative test with the British artillery radar, coupled with the perfect performance of the new 52 times caliber 155mm howitzer produced by the Wanshan factory in a series of tests, has made the military and senior leaders realize that the problem of artillery attack and interference that has plagued the Sino-Vietnamese border for a long time finally has a practical solution!

Because of this, based on the strategic concept of taking Vietnam by surprise and attacking the enemy by surprise, and preparing to take Vietnam by surprise on the battlefield, and also to protect the specific data parameters of the AN\ALQ-86 radar jammer intercepted during the comparative test,

The top brass demanded strict secrecy for the new artillery radar and the 52 times caliber 155mm gun.

In addition, based on the grim situation on the Sino-Vietnamese border and the maturity of new artillery and radar systems, the high-level officials have requested that an independent artillery battalion be set up in advance, and the initial goal is naturally to fight against Vietnam, while the long-term goal is to rely on this artillery battalion to explore and innovate new tactics and new tactics and new tactics and tactics based on new equipment, so as to lay a solid foundation for the leapfrog development of artillery in the future!

Therefore, under the direct benefit of the high-level personnel, the Armament Department of the General Staff Department issued the task of producing artillery and radar to the Wanshan Plant and the Zhongyuan Radar Electronics Institute at the same time, the Artillery Bureau of the General Staff also began to set up this new independent artillery battalion; because the technical content of the new equipment is very high, it has also put forward extremely high requirements for the quality of personnel; for this reason, the Artillery Bureau of the General Staff Department can be said to have selected the best of the best in the artillery units of the whole army, and finally selected 300 top men as the backbone of the independent artillery battalion.

As for the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, although the artillery units recommended many suitable candidates, the General Staff finally selected Lu Weijun, the current representative of the Wanshan Factory Army, who is more familiar with the new artillery system and has unique views on artillery technology and tactics, to take up this key position.

The deputy commander of the independent artillery battalion selected Qian Aimin, the combat hero of the artillery unit of the G Military Region, and the ranks of both of them were higher than the existing positions, but the General Staff Department still arranged such a high position and a low position, which shows that the high level of the army attaches great importance to this independent artillery unit very ordinarily!

Lu Jiadong, as the common core developer of the new artillery and the new artillery radar, was also transferred to this newly formed independent artillery unit in the capacity of production technicians, and while continuing to track the application of the new equipment in the troops, he also undertook the task of providing equipment support, equipment maintenance, and training personnel for the entire independent artillery battalion.

In this way, with the vigorous support of the General Staff Department and the top leadership, the independent artillery battalion was quickly organized, and because of the use of new equipment, the entire independent artillery battalion was fundamentally different from the original artillery unit in terms of establishment structure, personnel training, and application of tactics, so it did encounter many difficulties in the early stage of its formation.

Especially in the exploration of tactics, whether it is Lu Weijun, who has rich theoretical knowledge, or Qian Aimin, who is brave and resolute on the battlefield, they are basically blinded, but the two are not frightened, but actively explore and practice, and Lu Jiadong also introduced some new artillery tactics seen from the materials in later generations to the two during this period, which made the two of them suddenly open, but also admired Lu Jiadong more sincerely, so the independent artillery battalion was quickly on the right track with the efforts of the three of them

"Jiadong, look at it, this is a new tactic that I have researched based on the artillery dispersion firing tactics you introduced a few days ago, combined with the advantages of our artillery with multiple shells!" At noon, in the canteen of the independent artillery battalion, battalion commander Lu Weijun handed Lu Jiadong, who was having dinner, the new tactic he had just researched yesterday.

Lu Jiadong, who had just swallowed the rice, looked at Lu Weijun, who looked serious on the other side, and said helplessly: "I said Lao Lu, I think of those things in foreign-related information, and telling you about it is just a brick throwing, as for how to beat me, I really don't understand!"

Lu Jiadong is right, he is a military expert, but he is not an expert in operations, it is okay to let him repair a gun and build a cannon, but he is really not good at how to fight, as for these artillery tactics, they are just some records that I saw when I read the materials when developing artillery in later generations, if it were not for the independent artillery battalion to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Lu Jiadong would not have said it.

However, Lu Jiadong's truth-telling made Lu Weijun think that Lu Jiadong was modest, so as usual, he didn't care about Lu Jiadong's words at all, but picked up the new tactical outline and prepared to continue to introduce Lu Jiadong in detail, but before he could speak, he heard a rush of footsteps at the door of the canteen, and then saw the deputy battalion commander Qian Aimin holding a newspaper, quickly walked to Lu Jiadong and Lu Weijun, and said nervously and happily:
