The reason why such a slightly abrupt exercise was carried out was naturally that after discussion and final voting, the superiors had agreed to the plan proposed by Chang Haonan and Ding Gaoheng.

Even if it takes some risks.

After all, if successful, the benefits are just too great.

Since the end of the Cold War, the US military's intervention around the world has basically not been effectively hindered except for the accidental defeat of Somalia.

Whether it is Russia, the old rival, or China, which is now gradually regarded as a new opponent, or even Europe, which has begun to plan to become the world's only one, can only choose to avoid its edge.

If the Americans can be allowed to eat a big turtle at this juncture, even from the perspective of realism, it will be conducive to defusing the aggressive attitude of the other side in the final stage of the WTO accession talks.

After all, the slightest bit of bargaining chips in the hands of the Donkey Party have been drained by the abstract behavior of the one in the White House now.

If the war card is no longer effective, it may even suffer an unexpected setback.

Then all that's left is economy cards.

And at this moment when the aftermath of the Asian financial crisis has not disappeared, the only thing that can be quickly brought to the table as a result in the remaining year is to let China join the WTO-

That would directly bring a few super large orders to North American high-tech enterprises, and allow the urban elite middle class to buy cheap industrial products produced in China.

And these crowds are all iron votes of the donkey party.

Even those traditional manufacturing companies that used to be biased towards the party can also transfer production capacity to Huaxia, which has a higher labor quality and social stability, so as to obtain better profit margins and soar stock prices.

For Huaxia, this is naturally also good news.

It's just that the superiors are still more detailed.

Although there is no big problem with the idea proposed by Chang Haonan, it is not as simple as it is said to be implemented in operation.

In particular, according to the coarse target information provided by the early warning radar, the use of antiaircraft artillery to concentrate on a specific airspace for rough shooting is basically a technique that only the air defense forces during World War II specially practiced.

Although, as a backup just in case, the commander of anti-aircraft artillery also learns this when he goes to school.

However, theory and operation are not the same thing.

Moreover, the post of commander of large and medium-caliber antiaircraft artillery units is now as rare as that of giant pandas.

Zhu Xuejun is the last group of them with practical experience.

In the case of a short shooting window, if the reaction is slower, there is basically no need to expect any results.

Therefore, if you really want to increase the chances of success of the plan, it is best to send the Buddha to the West.

That is, when the anti-aircraft gun is faced with targets at different heights and distances, the corresponding firing parameters are directly compiled into a table and sent over.

After all, the main models of equipment on the Huaxia side, the Type 59 100mm and Type 59 57mm anti-aircraft guns, are actually the localized models of the Soviet-made KS19 and S60, which are completely consistent in core parameters.

It's equivalent to opening a hanging.

The reason why the Northern Plains was chosen is also because the latitude here is basically the same as that of the Balkans, and the shooting table made is more valuable for reference.

After all, it is much faster to look up the table than to do the math on the spot.

It's just that there is definitely no way to tell Zhu Xuejun, an air defense brigade commander, about these backgrounds, so he can only send him a simple order for the time being.

Of course, for him, doubts are doubts, and orders still have to be carried out.

The mighty convoy soon arrived at the preset position.

Zhu Xuejun put on a cotton hat and got off the jeep.

In the entire mixed air defense brigade, there are about two and a half battalions of large and medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns that can be used immediately after being dragged out, which is already a lot for an emergency sortie.

Chief of Staff Shu Dehan trotted over from behind and saluted him:

"Comrade brigade commander, there are a total of 30 large and medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns, 28 of which are currently in place, and a tractor with 57 guns and a 100 gun is out of fire on the road and is being repaired, and it is estimated that it will be able to catch up with the team within three to four hours."

"It's not a big problem, it should be able to catch up."

Hearing this achievement, Zhu Xuejun couldn't help but show a little pride on his face.

The unprepared sudden pull, and the long-distance travel of hundreds of kilometers a day and a night, can maintain such a complete rate, even if it is placed in the world, it can definitely be regarded as a leader.

After a moment of smugness, he quickly returned to his current task:

"Let the cooking classes prepare to cook immediately, the weather is too cold, the comrades have been spinning in the car for a day and a night, you have to hurry up and eat some hot to recover your strength, before I came out, I let the quick-frozen dumplings are cooked, there will be no time to eat tonight......"

"In addition, we have to let the comrades of the engineering battalion be aggrieved, put down the construction machinery, seize the time to transform the terrain and deploy the position, and put their extra meals after they go back......"

"All artillery companies are scattered nearby, pay attention to the deployment of air defense camouflage nets, although there is no air-ground confrontation link in the notice from the superiors, but our front-line troops cannot take it seriously......

“……”

One by one, instructions were issued from Zhu Xuejun's mouth in an orderly manner.

The entire convoy was back in action.

……

Large and medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns themselves are required to be ground anti-aircraft weapons, and the ground requirements for the deployment position are quite high, and the temperature in the northern plains in mid-February is below -20 °C.

Therefore, by the time the engineering battalion finally finished building 30 multi-layered circular positions according to the standard, it was already completely dark.

In the 90s, night vision devices were basically black technology that the Chinese army did not dare to think of in their dreams, so at night, they could only rely on air defense lights to provide illumination.

Not to mention the difference in brightness, if there is really an open-ground confrontation link, it is easy to find.

"I still have to report this problem to my superiors......"

Zhu Xuejun, who was sitting in the command car, looked at the anti-aircraft artillery position not far away from the small window, but his face was not at all.

He was confident that his troops had perfected their skills to the extreme.

But there is a limit to human subjective initiative.

If you really want to build an air defense parachute, better performance equipment is indispensable.

"You said, the air force has been fighting like chicken blood recently, I heard that some units have changed planes twice in three years, why can't this good thing be our air defense forces......

Taking advantage of the short time at the beginning of the exercise, Zhu Xuejun said to the chief of staff not far behind him.

"There's no way around it, after all, people flying in the sky must be more enjoyable than us rolling in the mud."

The latter also sighed lightly:

"Moreover, if you really want to say it, our ground-to-air missile forces have also bought several batches of S300 over the years, more than the Su-27 bought by the air force, the problem is that our domestic aircraft can be used, but the domestic air defense missiles are really not enough to see ......"

"Alas...... Makes sense, right? ”

Zhu Xuejun knows that he really can't change anything in this kind of thing, and now he is just doing oral gymnastics with his old partner to kill time.

At this time, Shu Dehan stood up and patted him on the shoulder:

"Okay, it's training time, I have to go to the other side."

After saying that, he lowered his head and got out of this command vehicle-

In the combat state, the two commanders cannot stay in the same position, so as not to be served by the same pot.

Zhu Xuejun also picked up the microphone from in front of him:

"Attention units, ammunition loading, enter a state of first-level alert!"

The originally calm snowfield suddenly came to life.

Dressed in white camouflage uniforms, the artillery squad began to carry the shells in a feverish manner, and shook the gun carriage in the direction they were responsible for.

"Yinshan 01, this is the command center."

The shortwave radio in the command car sounded:

"The target information has been captured, and then you will be notified of the coordinate location, and it will be ...... every 30 seconds"

Zhu Xuejun took a deep breath, picked up the slide rule and pencil in his hand, and took off the watch and placed it beside him:

"Yinshan 01 is ready ......"

“……”

At the same time, a low-RCS target aircraft modified from a cruise missile slowly flew by from an altitude of 6,000 meters.

Zhu Xuejun in the command car quickly marked out the coordinate points on the map in front of him, while the staff officer next to him followed closely behind to calculate and report the corresponding theoretical shooting Zhu Yuan.

"The target has ten minutes left to enter the firing zone."

"Five-minute ......"

"Three-minute ......"

"One Minute ......"

“30，29，28……”

"Shoot!"

"Bang-bang-bang-"

Ten minutes later, as the order to open fire was given, six anti-aircraft guns in the direction of one of the sectors opened fire at the same time, completing a round of 15 rounds in one minute.

The flames flashed from the muzzle of the cannon almost illuminated the surrounding snowfield.

In the Chinese New Year's Eve night sky, nearly 100 fireworks of various kinds exploded......
