Chapter 455 Fire Control Radar
Buzz buzz~~
At the anti-aircraft artillery position of the 77th Corps located on the north side of Beibei District, the oil engine supplying power to the fire control radar was rumbling non-stop.
Five minutes ago, the corps headquarters made a direct call to the air defense position, causing this air defense unit, which had been silent for a long time after the end of the world, to become restless again.
I saw several soldiers busy around a towed container cabin. The dark green camouflage-painted container cabin cover was opened by two soldiers together, and then with a sound of motor, the hydraulic system started working.
Three shiny hydraulic columns first extended from the bottom of the cabin, gradually propping up the entire cabin. Under the operator's control, the entire fire control radar was quickly adjusted to a horizontal level, and then a pot-lid-shaped antenna was slowly raised from the cabin.
After a moment, the search antenna above the radar began to rotate rapidly in circles, continuously emitting electromagnetic waves in all directions, entering working mode and searching for aerial targets.
...
"Aerial targets found, number 12, consistent with intelligence!"
Soon, a loud shout was heard from the radar cabin, and the fire control radar operator found the traces of the Spark Commando helicopter formation on the screen.
This air defense unit belongs to the air defense battalion under the 77th Corps Combined Brigade. It is equipped with LLP99 dual 35mm anti-aircraft guns. It and the matching fire control radar cabin are both towed equipment and have no self-propelled capability.
The search and tracking radius of the fire control radar of this type of equipment is 25KM, and the actual strike distance is within 5 kilometers. It is specially used to strike low-altitude penetrating flying objects.
"Are you sure you want to lock on to the target?"
The radar operator's words almost frightened the radar station chief into a cold sweat. He immediately slapped the operator's helmet hard and started to curse:
"Lock on to your ass! You new recruit! From now on, without my explicit orders, do whatever you are told to do, don't always assume what you want!"
After saying this, as if afraid that the new radar operator would disagree, the experienced radar station chief immediately emphasized:
"I will handle it after I report it to my superiors. You should pay close attention and don't mess around. If anything goes wrong, neither of us will be able to escape!"
This batch of new recruits added after the end of the world do have high cultural literacy. They can not only learn things quickly, but also understand the principles. However, sometimes their minds are too active and they do not realize the seriousness of many things. To put it bluntly, they just graduated from school and have no awe.
So if you are not careful you will often get into big trouble!
The radar operator felt a little aggrieved when he heard this. He thought that he had only asked one question, but he was scolded so much by the squad leader. He couldn't help but said indignantly:
"Squad leader, why can't we use the radar to track? I just learned it not long ago and haven't practiced it well. What if I lose it? You will definitely scold me then..."
"We are not allowed to use machines, but we have to have people watch over them. Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
"Are you going to suffer for no reason?" The new recruit's remarks made the squad leader laugh.
"That's better than eating missiles!"
"Do you know that once our fire control radar locks on, the helicopter on the other side will know immediately? And it can also lock on to our radar station through electromagnetic waves?"
"If the enemy is an armed helicopter and fires an air-to-ground missile at us, our entire radar station will be destroyed!"
"Ah? So scary? Don't we have any way to deal with it?" The squad leader's words made the recruit who was about to press the tracking button sweat profusely.
"Yes, when their fire control radar locks on us, we will also sound the alarm. Do you see this red light?" As he said this, the radar squad leader pointed to a red warning light diagonally above the cabin.
"I see!" The recruit nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Our plan is that as soon as this thing flashes and makes an alarm sound, we immediately start running, the farther away from the radar cabin the better!"
"Theoretically, if the distance is far enough and you can run 7 meters in seconds, then you can lock and expose yourself at will."
Ah? ?
Ah? ?
The distance is far enough... 7 meters in seconds...
Isn't this nonsense? ? Bolt has to go to the cultural...
"Squad leader, isn't this nonsense?"
"Yeah! You know that's bullshit, but you still dare to open the fire control radar??"
“Missing you!??”
"But the weapon operating instructions..." The recruit was obviously still unconvinced and wanted to refute. He simply couldn't accept that his anti-aircraft gun was pulling this trick.
"Just kidding, I want to ask you who wrote the weapon operating instructions? Is it the manufacturer? When you are in an online relationship, would you tell others that you are 1.6 meters tall and a Frost Goblin?"
"No... squad leader, although what you said is true, it's too rough. I am broken..."
"It's better to be defeated by me than by a missile. So young man, I admit that your education is very impressive and you are a graduate student of Yu'nan University. But don't forget the saying that everyone has their own specialty!"
"Eight of you can't beat me in studying, but if we're just fighting, even if eighteen of you were tied together, I wouldn't be able to handle you!"
"So let's be more humble to each other and learn from each other's shortcomings. What I learn from you may not be useful to me, but what you learn from me can save your life!"
"You should be thankful for this era. In the past, when you asked your first question, I would have already given you a good promotion!"
...
After that, the squad leader gave the radar operator a look and told him to figure it out himself, then he picked up the landline phone and quickly reported:
"Report to the battalion commander! Our unit has spotted the target helicopter formation, please give instructions!"
"Received, please maintain manual tracking and wait for the next instruction!"
"Yes!"
...
"Commander, there's news from the air defense battalion. The anti-aircraft artillery's fire control radar has discovered the helicopter formation reported by the 77th Mixed Brigade!"
Inside the headquarters of the 77th Corps of Yu'nan University, a middle-aged staff officer pushed the door open with a piece of intelligence and walked quickly to the corps commander Yu Zhengguo, who was standing in front of a map on the wall and writing something.
The staff officer's movement also attracted the chief of staff, deputy army commander and other corps leaders in the operations room to look over.
Everyone wants to know, at this time of the end of the world, where did the helicopter fleet come from, and which force does it represent?
Yu Zhengguo took the information and quickly read the information that marked the flight trajectory of the helicopter formation and the predicted path. He then started drawing on the map with the marker in his hand, and when he marked Chongyi City, he did not forget to heavily paint it.
"Commander, how are you? Do you have any ideas?"
As soon as Yu Zhengguo finished marking, he turned around and saw the chief of staff and the deputy commander looking at him eagerly. He then said without further ado:
"We have one thing. According to this flight trajectory, the other party is likely to have flown from Ye Province, and it is very likely Chongyi City!"
"Chongyi City?"
Upon hearing this, the chief of staff and the deputy commander silently chewed over Yu Zhengguo's speculation.
"As far as I know, apart from Chongyi City, there are no troops stationed in the entire Yezhou Province, right? There are some internal security forces..."
"But the helicopter formation..."
The chief of staff looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. After all, the remaining internal security forces in Yucheng had been temporarily reorganized into the combat sequence of the 77th Corps. It was difficult for him to say something that was not conducive to unity.
It would be bad if I was accused of looking down on the internal security guards.
"Old Yang, what you said is not necessarily true. Some special forces affiliated with the Internal Guard are still well-equipped..." The deputy commander was a veteran of the Internal Guard, and he couldn't help but retort when he heard this.
"I didn't say the inner guard..."
"Hahaha, that's enough! No matter who they are, it's a good thing that they're here. It proves that besides us, the situation in other provinces might be pretty good?"
The emergence of the new military force put Yu Zhengguo in a good mood, and even his tone of voice became a lot more relaxed and cheerful.
This feeling that he is not alone makes him not care much about the other person's identity, as long as they are both human beings.
After all, the world has become such a mess, what else can we ask for? Just let the meat rot in the pot.
"As for what the other party is, won't it be clear when we get there?"
"Looking at the flight path, it's not hiding, so it should be heading towards us!"
