Chapter 297: The Silent Battlefield
"Boom"
The Vietnamese artillery shells crossed the Sino-Vietnamese border in batches, and smashed into several Type 54 122mm howitzer groups and 120mm mortar positions deployed by the squadron in the mountain cols, and even the Type 66 152mm howitzer positions with a reinforced battalion size slightly behind were also affected, and several positions were covered by the Vietnamese army's accurate artillery in just ten minutes.
In the darkness of dawn, huge fireballs rose up, and at the same time, the strong explosion wave destroyed everything standing upright around it, and at the same time, it also set off a strong wind wave, which quickly rushed to the surroundings under the action of the valley terrain, and even the artillery radar positions that were still far away from these places, you could feel the ferocity of this gale wind!
"It's really dangerous!" On the radar position of the new-type artillery reconnaissance and schoolfire, Lu Weijun faced the strong gale and looked at the fires that were constantly rising in the distance, and couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat rolling down his face with his hands, and sighed with joy:
"If we're five minutes late, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
As soon as Lu Weijun's words fell, the staff officer of the Operations Department stationed in the artillery radar position of the former commander standing beside him couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, if it weren't for Chief Master Lu's timely discovery of the anomaly in the radio frequency, who would have thought that there was a secret observation post of the Vietnamese army hidden under our noses, if this was not withdrawn in time, our nearly one regiment of troops might be eaten by the Vietnamese army in a daze, and the losses would be too great!"
Saying that, the staff officer of the combat department couldn't help but look back at the artillery reconnaissance and firing radar behind him, and saw a young man who looked to be in his early twenties in the operation cabin, who was constantly busy in the radar cabin, sometimes staring at the screen and frowning and thinking, sometimes tapping quickly on the operation keyboard, and sometimes guiding and correcting the operator.
"Thanks to Chief Master Lu, such a small crest protrusion, ordinary people don't care about it at all, but I didn't expect Chief Lu to find out the existence of the enemy's secret observation post in this minutiae, and this artillery reconnaissance and school firing radar designed by Chief Lu under the auspices of Chief Lu. Now it seems that in addition to calling him clairvoyant, I have to give it a name of Shunfeng Ear to be more complete!"
"Jia Dong's skills are far more than that!" As soon as the combat staff officer's voice fell, Lu Weijun picked up the conversation: "From the high-precision bullets of the new sniper rifle to the new 52 times caliber 155mm long-range artillery that has just been tested. They are all developed and produced by Jia Dong, not to mention this artillery reconnaissance school shooting radar, Jia Dong has incorporated a lot of new technologies into the overall design, but it's a pity"
Lu Weijun had just said half of his words, and his face couldn't help but flash a trace of chagrin and helplessness. Even the tone of his voice became deeply remorseful:
"It's a pity that I don't have a deep understanding of radar electronic equipment now, such as input commands, switching modes and other aspects are not proficient enough, if the rain of bullets is the current battlefield performance, then I think that in the future, this silent world dominated by radio waves will also become a fierce battlefield, as a soldier can not deal with all possible battlefield styles, no matter how to explain it is a dereliction of duty!"
Maybe this kind of silent battlefield can't become dominant, but we can't ignore its existence, so it's still the old man's saying that the situation is constantly changing. If you want to adapt your mind to the new situation, you have to learn!"
"That's right!" As soon as the staff officer's voice fell, Lu Weijun replied categorically: "Live to be old, learn to be old, all walks of life are the same, and we soldiers are no exception!"
Although the words of Lu Weijun and the staff officer of the Operations Department were not high, they really reached Lu Jiadong's ears, and at this time, Lu Jiadong was holding the bearing parameters just measured by the radar in his hand, ready to explain it to Lu Weijun and others, but he didn't expect to just walk behind them. I heard the words of Lu Weijun and others.
This made Lu Jiadong feel a little surprised, because he didn't expect Lu Weijun and others to raise this so-called silent battlefield to this height to examine, but it was quickly replaced by full of relief, after all, this is not what Lu Jiadong has worked hard for. One of the purposes of applying many current advanced technologies to develop this artillery reconnaissance and school firing radar is this!
You must know that in future wars, in the silent electromagnetic field, not only will the existing weapons and equipment be a force multiplier, but will also become a very important combat field, and even to an important position that may affect the overall outcome of the war, although this combat style has not yet been widely recognized. The fact that the relevant military changes have not been initiated on a global scale does not mean that the military powers have not explored this area extensively.
For example, in 1976, the American military theorist Tom Rona put forward the concept of "information warfare," and in 1979, the Soviet Union, as another level, was also systematically put forward by Marshal Ogarkov, chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army, the theoretical idea of promoting the revolution of the armed forces through electronic information technology.
However, the United States, which has always been enlightened in the field of information technology, has gradually come to the forefront, while the Soviet Union has gradually fallen behind in this round of changes because the conservative forces at home with the merits of the Great Patriotic War are too strong and superstitious about the victory of nuclear weapons.
Subsequently, the United States applied new theories to develop such as precision-guided munitions, high-performance reconnaissance and detection equipment, and high-power listening and jamming equipment, and on this basis, created a "air-ground integrated warfare" combat mode, which was widely used in the Gulf War and the Kosovo War in the near future, thus setting off a worldwide military revolution!
It is precisely because of this that he has made great efforts to develop this artillery reconnaissance and calibration radar, which not only allows it to have a keen eye in the process of target discovery, but also has a pair of intelligent ears in detecting other high-power electronic equipment, just like accurately intercepting the radar jammer that Britain is proud of in the process of comparative testing with British radar.
Just an hour ago, Lu Jiadong also found a series of high-power ripples on the radar monitoring screen, and after solving the calculation, it was found that this was a working high-power radio station, and the preliminary measurement range was on the side of the Sino-Vietnamese border near the Chinese side, although the specific communication content could not be deciphered for a while.
However, it is certain that it is very likely that such a high-power radio station can be used by the Vietnamese army to install a secret observation post on our side, so Lu Jiadong suggested that the nearest artillery positions near the secret observation post be quickly transferred, because of the timely withdrawal, and the position layout area is basically a barren mountain far away from the residential area, so although the Vietnamese army's counterattack artillery fire is fierce, it did not cause any losses to our army!
And this really gave Lu Weijun and others a great shock, so that they had a new understanding of this silent battlefield, Lu Jiadong's most high-performance purpose at that time was to do this, after all, in the reform of military theory, advanced weapons and equipment are very important, but if there is no complete set of systematic military theories to support, it is impossible to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the application of weapons and equipment.
However, at present, China has fallen behind in all aspects of theory in the new military reform, and it is impossible to reach the advanced level of theory all at once, because we must know that mechanical parts can be changed at any time, but it is very difficult for people to change their thinking.
You must know that the impression in this actual combat environment is extremely profound, and this deep impression will also become a seed of tenacity rooted in the hearts of a far-sighted and sagacious officer like Lu Weijun, so that it will take root, sprout, and grow into a towering tree, and then become a supporter, promoter, advocate, and even initiator of our army's new military reform in the future!
Thinking of this, Lu Jiadong showed a long-lost smile on his face, and at the same time, Lu Weijun, who was looking at the explosions in the distance, seemed to feel that something was wrong, and couldn't help but look back, Lu Jiadong's young and handsome and smiling face came into his eyes, which made Lu Weijun stunned:
"Jiadong, when are you?"
"I just came over too!" Without waiting for Lu Weijun to finish speaking, he handed a few pieces of printer paper to Lu Weijun: "We have determined the specific frequency parameters of the enemy's secret high-power radio, but because our radar is still monitoring the position of the Vietnamese army's artillery position, the error in positioning accuracy is very large, and it can only be determined that it is at several commanding heights in the No. 6 area, not to mention interference, if we want to completely blind the eyes of the Vietnamese army, we still need the cooperation of other troops!"
"Jiadong, you don't have to worry about this!" Lu Weijun took Lu Jiadong's parameters, took a cursory glance, and said excitedly: "As long as there are their specific parameters, the two high-power jammers transferred by the front finger can turn them into deaf and blind, and the rest will be handed over to the 120mm mortar battalion, and a few rounds of intensive fire will blow them up into the sky even if they hide deeply!"
Just as Lu Weijun's voice gradually fell, a soldier hurriedly ran over, saluted Lu Weijun and others, and reported loudly:
"Report to the battalion commander, the rear 59 130mm cannon group has been redeployed in place, and the front commander orders us to send the coordinates of the enemy artillery group over and prepare for a counterattack!"
When Lu Weijun heard this, his face instantly bloomed: "Haha~~ Great, it's raining enough in Vietnam, why don't we have to give them some hail in return, let's go!" )
