Chapter 154: Artillery Sighting Radar (2)
The next day, the artillery sighting radar was delivered to our base.
It was a battle that scared the hell out of us...... At least one battalion of infantry plus a tank company as a follower.
But when you think about it, I think it's really necessary, you must know that there are only two of these things in our country at the moment, and if they are attacked and damaged, the losses will be quite heavy...... This is also the reason why there will be tanks in the followers, which can be used as radar shields if necessary.
After a series of complicated handover procedures, the gunsight radar was handed over to us, along with its three maintenance personnel, several operators, and several large boxes of spare parts.
That's when I wondered where these maintainers came from.
You must know that this artillery sighting radar has only arrived in our country for a few days, in other words, our country did not have this kind of equipment before, so naturally there will be no talent in this field. And it is clear that the repair of the gunsight radar is obviously not something that can be learned in just a few days.
Until one of the maintenance personnel came up to me with a Hong Kong accent and shook my hand and said: "Hello, you are the battalion commander Yang Xuefeng, I have long admired the name, I am a military adviser sent by the British to be responsible for maintaining the artillery sighting radar!" My surname is Chen, and my name is Chen Weihua! ”
"Oh!" When I heard this, I couldn't help but suddenly realize...... Military advisers again.
However, it is not surprising that when the Soviet Union sold weapons and equipment to Vietnam, it also brought a few military advisers.
"Battalion Commander Yang!" Then Chen Weihua took out a package and said, "Brigadier General Clapp specially asked me to bring you a gift!" ”
"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, I really didn't expect to receive Clapp's things here.
"Battalion commander!" Chen Weihua handed me a cigarette. "If you want to know anything about the UK, I'd be happy to help," he said. Did you know? Your deeds have spread among the soldiers and the people, and you have become an idol in the hearts of many......"
I interrupted Chen Weihua with a wave of my hand.
If it was before. I may be interested to know what I have become in the UK, and of course, I am even more interested in knowing if I can get a few beautiful MMs in the UK one day.
But now, I'm more concerned with the more practical issues at hand.
"Let's talk about this sighting radar!" I raised my head at the inconspicuous thing in front of me that hung behind the car.
Wu Dengxiong and the others, who were waiting in line, were also full of doubts on their faces, and they seemed to be a little unconvinced that this thing in front of them was a bit like a blender could be so powerful.
"Oh!" Chen Weihua reacted immediately, walked to the artillery radar and introduced: "This is the base, and the radar head at this time." And this...... Remote control and display ......"
"You just have to tell me how to use it!" I interrupted Chen Weihua impatiently: "And how can our artillery cooperate with your operation, it is best to ...... You can teach me some more soldier operations or basic repairs. ”
"No problem!" Chen Weihua nodded: "I think its usefulness has been made clear by the information passed to you before, it can detect the enemy's artillery position." There are also helicopters and other targets on the ground, and of course, the main role is to detect enemy artillery positions. As for cooperation...... It's actually very simple, just give me a few radio soldiers. We will inform you of the results of the detection and calculation, that is, the coordinates of the enemy's artillery positions! ”
I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this. Wu Dengxiong was also stunned...... That is to say, we don't need to train at all, we just need to shoot the cannon according to the number of coordinates given by the radio soldiers.
However, this does not seem surprising, because things on the battlefield need to be as simple and fast as possible, especially the artillery thing, otherwise we are afraid that by the time we are ready, the enemy's artillery has already been transferred.
"And what else do we train?" Hearing this, Zhao Jingping couldn't help but ask strangely.
"Oh!" Chen Weihua replied: "I think you misunderstood, the reason why you need training is because the artillery radar needs a protection force, you know. Because it is so powerful and can be expected to play a very important role on the battlefield, it can also be a target for the enemy. So our training. It's about how to mask, camouflage, build defensive positions around the artillery sighting radar, and so on! ”
"Hmm!" I nodded.
It's a real problem, and it's important, because it's like I thought before...... Historically, an artillery radar has been blown up by Vietnamese agents, and the protection force has suffered heavy casualties.
And now, our synthetic battalion is the unit that uses artillery sight radar and provides protection for it, so will such a tragedy still happen to us?
I can't guarantee it, because I know one thing very well: no one can tell what happened on the battlefield, not even me, a modern person who knows history well.
Who is responsible for this task of protecting the artillery sighting radar?
Don't think about it, it must be the Agent Company.
So I quickly asked the Agent Company to start protection training with Chen Weihua...... On the one hand, I know from Chen Weihua that what he brought from Britain was not only the technology to repair and use the gun-sighting radar, but also how they protected and defended the gun-sighting radar when it was in the hands of the British army.
Then the problem is simple, let's just follow the procedures of the British army, after all, this procedure is demonstrated and exercised, and we have no experience.
On the other hand, the training of the Secret Service Company also overlapped with that of the British Army...... This can be seen from the contact between our army and the British army on the Falklands, such as the basic sign language and alternate cover tactics can be universal. Of course, this is thanks to the training of the company of agents as a modern person.
At the same time, of course, the artillery was also being trained......
In fact, this is also to verify the role of artillery sighting radar, or to further enhance the confidence of artillery sighting radar in our army's artillery...... You must know that our artillery, including Wu Dengxiong, did not know what this artillery sighting radar was before this, and although they know it now, they are also skeptical about its performance, so it is very necessary for them to open their eyes, otherwise they are afraid that there will be problems when they go to the battlefield.
The verification method is actually very simple, that is, the artillery goes out a few kilometers or even more than a dozen kilometers away, shoots a few shots, and then sees if the artillery radar can calculate their position within 12 seconds.
The result, of course, made Wu Dengxiong and others ecstatic.
I'm not surprised at all, knowing that this is something that the British have sold us, and if it doesn't have this performance, it won't make the British people lose their faces.
As a result, this verification soon developed into multiple guns firing at the same time, allowing the guns to aim at the radar calculation. (To be continued......)
