Chapter 326: The Radar Dilemma (Part II)
"We have radar in our anti-aircraft artillery unit, but it does not have the kind you want, Comrade Bai, the lightest is the Song-6 radar, which can exceed 30 meters wide antenna width and weigh more than 10 tons, and there is no way to install it on a train......
In the garrison of the Logistics Department of the Chinese People's Volunteers in the western suburbs of Pyongyang, Bai Yi frowned and listened to the explanation given by Song Tianming, director of the Operations Division of the Logistics Department on the other side, that he had been transferred from the post of chief of staff of a certain antiaircraft artillery regiment to the Operations Department of the Logistics Department by the chief of armaments chief of arms a few months earlier than Bai Yi, and his main responsibility was to organize an antiaircraft artillery unit accompanying the vehicle.
In less than a month, a group of elite soldiers and strong generals were selected from various antiaircraft artillery units to form an air-mounted air defense unit.
In desperation, the officers and men of the logistics department could only grit their teeth and rush forward desperately, and after paying a great price, they finally ordered a train full of supplies to rush through the blockade of the US military and arrive at the forward combat area on the afternoon of 5 July.
Because of the arrival of this train, the commanders and fighters of the volunteers on the front line were able to breathe a sigh of relief and continue to fight against the frenzied counterattack of the US army, but the originally neat logistics department of the volunteers was greatly injured because of this transportation, not to mention the loss of 20 locomotives, not to mention the hundreds of freight cars, in terms of personnel alone, the casualties exceeded 40%.
The antiaircraft artillery unit under the command of Song Tianming was the first to bear the brunt, and when the original four battalions of the troops participating in the battle came back, they did not even have a company, and as for the equipment, they were completely lost.
In this regard, Song Tianmin can be said to be holding his breath in his heart, not only to find the field, but also to avenge the dead comrades, because of this, when he saw Bai Yi's car plan, he was overjoyed, others may not know, but he, the military commander of the anti-aircraft artillery unit, understands better than anyone that once Bai Yi's system is successfully structured, its air defense capability is bound to increase several times, or even dozens of times.
So why didn't you think of it?
Whether he thought of it or not, the work of re-preparing the troops according to Bai Yi's plan was bound to be carried out, and the most critical thing was that he needed a radar that could be placed on the train.
As a result, Song Tianming spared two major circles in the north of North Korea, walked more than 20 antiaircraft artillery units and air force stations, and was stunned that he could not even find a suitable radar, so he could only return to Pyongyang in despair, thinking about contacting the country to see if there were any qualifications, but he did not expect Bai Yi to rush to Pyongyang at this time.
Originally, Song Tianming was ready to do everything and go to see Bai Yi again, who had never met but admired the autonomy, which Cheng wanted the head of armaments to give an order and ask him to immediately explain the situation to Bai Yi......
"The current situation is like this, and I'm going to contact the country later to see if I can find a suitable one."
I remember when I first looked at Bai Yi's vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft firepower architecture plan, Song Tianming thought that Bai Yi should be a veteran in the field of anti-aircraft artillery operations, otherwise how could he make such an amazing and brilliant vehicle-mounted air defense firepower architecture plan?
But it wasn't until he saw himself that he found out that Bai Yi was not an old-timer at all, but a young man in his early twenties, which made Song Tianming, who was just in his early thirties, very surprised, but at the same time, he was secretly relieved, no matter how young he looked, there was no shadow of vigorous and resolute behavior, and it was estimated that he couldn't make up his mind at this time, and in the end he had to follow his path.
Thinking of this, Song Tianming's tone of speech was also a little sufficient: "From the current point of view, we can only do this, after all, the air defense equipment in the key places around several major cities in China is still relatively advanced, and we should be able to find a radar that meets our conditions!" ”
"How advanced is the domestic anti-aircraft artillery radar, can it surpass the Song-6 radar?"
"This ......"
Song Tianming opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed it back, but Bai Yi, who was sitting opposite him, stood up at this time and walked around the open space of the office twice, then frowned and said slowly: "I remember that during World War II, the United States produced a total of two types of anti-aircraft artillery air defense radars, one is SCR-268, and the other is the more advanced SCR-584.
The Soviet Union through various means, copied these two radars, SCR-268 imitation is the Song-6 radar we are using now, and the other SCR-584 is the Soviet Union's current use of the Song-9 radar, compared to the Song-6 is huge, Song-9 radar is not only more compact in structure, but also better in performance, the most important thing is its volume, only the size of a wagon, it is easy to install on the train, in this case, what is the use of contacting the country? Wouldn't it be more convenient to go directly to the Soviets near Pyongyang? ”
Listening to Bai Yi's question, Song Tianming opened his mouth wide, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him not only knew how to configure anti-aircraft firepower, but also knew a lot of things when he was in North Korea, and he only vaguely knew about it when he consulted the Soviet instructor.
But Bai Yi is extremely familiar, so much so that Song Tianming thought about it again, Bai Yi in front of him was really only in his early twenties, wouldn't it be a baby face born by that old guy, so that people couldn't see their real age?
"Old Song...... Old Song? What happened to you? Aren't you optimistic about borrowing the Song-9 radar from the big brother of the Soviet Union? ”
Song Tianming, who was stunned, was completely pulled back to reality by Bai Yi's words, and after digesting Bai Yi's words, Song Tianming nodded helplessly: "It's so difficult that it can't be talked about, but the chance of rejection is very high, after all, the Soviet air defense forces are mainly to protect their combat aircraft...... You also know that the head of armaments begged the Soviets, alas...... So...... Radar or something, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome......"
The request of the chief of armaments for the Soviet Air Force to cross the line of Wonsan in Pyongyang and provide support for the logistics units of the Volunteer Army was rejected by the Soviets, which really cast a shadow over the hearts of the officers and men of the logistics department, and the Soviets did not even give the chief of armaments face, let alone others.
Bai Yi didn't have much to do about it, so the entire small office suddenly fell silent, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps in the corridor outside, and then Jiang Zhenhai's anxious instructions completely broke the silence of the logistics department: "The Soviet Big Brother's plane has an accident again, quickly, Xiao Wang, immediately organize people to assist the Soviet Big Brother to protect personnel and equipment......"
"Yes!"
Xiao Wang answered and began to call people from room to room, and after a while, he called Bai Yi's office, Bai Yi and Song Tianming could only look at each other helplessly, and then rushed to the alternate airport not far away with the crowd......
