"Radar station? What is a radar station? Gao Xiang and the other pilots were confused. At this time, there are really not many people in China who know too much about radar, and it can even be said that there are none.

Qiao Anbang thought that it was necessary for him to popularize some knowledge about radar to Gao Xiang and the pilots, because they would definitely be able to use it in the future, and with the radar station, the Tiger Army would be able to give early warning and know whether the military planes would invade the airspace of the Tiger Army, and a series of important information such as their location and quantity.

In this way, the air force units of the Tiger Army can take off in time to meet the battle, so the pilots, especially Gao Xiang, who is the regiment commander, will not be able to understand the radar.

At the moment, Qiao Anbang pretended to look at everyone calmly, and immediately explained: "Radar is a kind of high-tech, it can emit radio waves, through which we can detect enemy air targets that are tens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers away, such as the devil's plane, we can know the direction, position, speed and number of the devil's plane in advance with the help of radar, and make corresponding measures." ”

"So, with radar, we are like having clairvoyance and ears to the wind, and we can know the enemy's movements in advance?" Gao Xiang said in surprise.

Qiao Anbang was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded with a wry smile and said, "Well, so to speak." "In fact, ground radar stations are generally only used to detect air and sea targets, which is not to say that ground targets cannot be detected, there are too many main ground targets, which is not conducive to discrimination.

The airborne radar that is generally used to detect and search ground targets can be used, these Qiao Anbang did not explain to Gao Xiang in detail, with their current cognition, they only need to roughly understand the role of radar, and other more esoteric issues can be slowly comprehended with the development of Tiger Benjun's science and technology and the growth of their own knowledge and experience.

"Oh! Humble duty understood. Gao Xiang nodded as if he didn't understand.

After condolences to all the pilots and instructing them to train hard to become an army, Qiao Anbang left the airport with Yali, Wang Gensheng and others and returned to the Longshan military camp.

Although there was no war for a short time, Qiao Anbang found that he could not be idle for a moment.

First of all, he must send troops to Mengcheng and other surrounding counties as soon as possible, and develop the power of the Tiger Ben Army to the surrounding areas as much as possible, only in this way can Qiao Anbang implement the plan of building a radar station, because the effective range of radar in this period is far less than that of later generations, so if you want to give early warning, it is not possible to only establish a radar station in Longshan.

It is necessary to set up radar stations of considerable scale in the surrounding counties, so that no matter which direction the military planes invade, the Huben Army air force units in the Longshan barracks will have time to take off to meet the attack, and the air defense units will have time to quickly deploy their defenses.

After returning to the Longshan barracks, Qiao Anbang gathered several of his division commanders and officers of the directly governed troops together, and after some discussion, Qiao Anbang decided to reorganize the three new regiments, one of which was built in the second division, because the three regiments themselves were bred from the second division and three regiments, and there were two regiments left, one regiment led by Chu Jingming to Yingzhou, and the remaining regiment was organized into a base reading brigade with some air defense units of the Huben army.

Specifically responsible for guarding the Longshan military camp and base area and the security of Longshan Airport, the commander of the Reading Brigade originally wanted Xie Jinyuan to be the commander, but he politely refused, and Qiao Anbang had no choice but to let his eldest brother Qiao Anbang concurrently serve as the commander of the Reading Brigade, and Xie Jinyuan served as the deputy brigade commander and recruit instructor.

Although Xie Jinyuan was only willing to serve as an instructor, this position of deputy brigade commander was forcibly appointed to him by Qiao Anbang. For the time being, the Brigade has an infantry regiment, two anti-aircraft battalions and a number of auxiliary units.

At this point, the Tiger Army has three main infantry divisions, a reading brigade, and the directly subordinate units include guard regiments, armored brigades, special operations battalions, communications, baggage and other units, plus the regiment taken by Chu Jingming and the flying regiment that has not yet become an army, the total strength of more than 50,000 people.

In order to better restrain the troops and prevent them from doing something detrimental to the reputation of the Tiger Army, Qiao Anbang transferred a group of knowledgeable and learned young officers from the whole army and transferred them to serve as chiefs of staff of each division, and at the same time, each regiment was also equipped with a chief of staff and some staff adjutants.

Qiao Anbang knew that when the scale of the Tiger Army was not very large, it didn't matter whether there was a chief of staff or not, because all the battles were personally commanded by himself, but with the gradual expansion of the scale of the Tiger Army in the future, the command system of each division and regiment should also become more and more perfect, so that in the future battles, each division could really have the ability to take charge of itself.

In addition, Qiao Anbang also plans to transfer the division commanders of various divisions to the Longshan Military Academy for study in the future, so as to enhance their own knowledge; without knowledge, they will not be able to command operations of various high-tech arms in the future, and such generals will inevitably be eliminated by the times sooner or later.

After completing this series of work, Qiao Anbang officially issued an order to divide the troops to each division, among which Li Yifeng's first division was ordered to be stationed in Boxian (now Bozhou City) and Xiangcheng, which were located in the northwest of Pheasant and Ji, close to Pang Bingxun's headquarters stationed in Yongcheng.

Cao Er's second division was ordered to be stationed in Taihe and Lixin counties, which were located south of Pheasant and Ji, echoing Chu Jingming's headquarters from afar, and was responsible for guarding the south gate of Pheasant Heji.

Li Jupeng's third division was ordered to Suxian in the northeast of Pheasant and Ji, and to the line of Mengcheng in the east, adjacent to Li Pinxian's headquarters in the Huaiyuan area of Huainan.

At the same time, Qiao Anbang issued a secret order to the divisions, that is, to wait for an opportunity to infiltrate the surrounding counties, and if necessary, to take over some counties within the current sphere of influence of the Tiger Ben Army, such as some areas on the border between Henan and Anhui, to expand the sphere of influence of the Hu Ben Army.

After receiving the order, the tens of thousands of troops of the three divisions began to march one after another, rushing towards their respective destinations, and the actions of the Tiger Ben Army were progressing smoothly, and the above-mentioned areas specified by Qiao Anbang belonged to the power vacuum, and there were no other armed forces in the county towns except for some military police officers who did not enter the stream.

These gendarmerie policemen usually bully ordinary people to catch a thief or something, when the well-equipped tiger army drove into the county seat in full armor, they were all dumbfounded, there was no disobedience, and they all bowed their heads and welcomed the tiger army into the city.

For the name of the Tiger Army, who doesn't know who in the world doesn't know? At the beginning, when the Tiger Ben Army recruited troops on a large scale, a large number of young and middle-aged people from the surrounding counties rushed to participate, and the military salary of the Tiger Ben Army had already spread all over the radius of hundreds of miles.

So when these gendarmerie policemen learned of the arrival of the Tiger Army, they broke their heads all the time and wanted to join the Tiger Army.

After the Tiger Ben Army was successfully stationed in the counties, the division commanders still handed over the administrative power of the county town to some county magistrates and other local officials appointed by the original national political axe in accordance with Qiao Anbang's instructions.

However, the taxes of each county had to be collected by the Tiger Benjun, which was very common in China at that time, whether it was in the Northeast, Shanxi or Liangguang, Zhang Xueliang, Yan Xishan, Li Zongren and other local powerful factions controlled the financial revenue of these places and did not pay to the central government.

After successfully stationing in the counties, Qiao Anbang began to ask Yali to take people to various counties to build radar stations, and the entire construction project was extremely secretive, and the whole process was blocked by the army, so there was no need to worry about revealing secrets.

In addition, Qiao Anbang also launched a large-scale road construction campaign, he wanted to build the cement roads of Pheasant and Ji to Mengcheng, Suxian and other surrounding counties, which was extremely convenient for the mobilization of troops and logistics input of the Houhu Army.

In order to rally the people, Qiao Anbang used his prestige to launch a road building manifesto in the counties.

Under the call of Qiao Anbang's declaration on road construction, the people in various counties have responded to Qiao Anbang's call to help the tiger army build roads, who is Qiao Anbang? That is the famous national anti-Japanese hero.

Moreover, Qiao Anbang's army has excellent military discipline, not only does not take a stitch from the masses, but also goes to the countryside from time to time to help some lonely and widowed old people, and some soldiers even give their military salaries to those sick people to let them take medicine and see a doctor.

The strongest response is the people in the territory of Pheasant and Ji, this is the most solid base of the Tiger Army, the people's hearts have long been completely subordinated, plus there are many of their own children and soldiers in the army, they support Qiao Anbang and the Tiger Army more than any county.

With the help of the people, the mighty road construction campaign was carried out in several counties centered on Pheasant and Ji, machinery and cars were ready-made, and with the help of hundreds of thousands of people, the road construction project progressed very smoothly and rapidly.

In just over a month, the main transportation roads in each county have been almost completed.

In the past month or so, Yali also led the engineering team to secretly build several radar stations in Mengcheng, Xiangcheng, Boxian, Yingzhou, Taihe and other places.

However, due to the lack of knowledge and personnel in this area, the radar station has begun to take shape, but it cannot be put into operation immediately.

To this end, Qiao Anbang asked Yali to transfer a group of intellectual youths and began to teach them about the knowledge of radar.

At the same time, in the past month or so, the training of the flight regiment has also made great progress, and with Gao Xiang's successful test flight and experience, more and more pilots have successfully piloted fighter planes to fly to high altitudes.
