In the radar room, after a brief moment of astonishment, the soldier directly pressed the green alarm button!
Instantly, a shrill alarm sounded in the officer's duty room next to the radar room, and the soldier shouted to the next door at the top of his voice:
"Battal Commander! Battalion Commander! Something big has happened! Come and see!"
Accompanied by his shouts and sharp sirens, Battalion Commander Xu, who was sitting reading a newspaper in the officer's duty room next door, rushed in almost crawling and asked in a panic:
"What's going on? What's going on? An enemy plane is coming?"
"How far away are we?"
Hearing the panicked voice of Battalion Commander Xu, the radar soldier shook his head and quickly explained:
"It shouldn't be a fighter plane, look!"
At the same time, Battalion Commander Xu had already rushed to the radar screen. He looked at several flashing light spots flying almost parallel to the radar station, and then looked at the parameters of several screens next to him. He was slightly relieved, and then frowned and said:
"What is this?"
"The speed is not too fast, the height is not too high, and the volume is not too big. They are arranged very neatly."
"It's thirty-five or six kilometers away from us. It's not coming towards us, nor is it flying over from the sea..."
"Where was the radar found it? How long ago?"
The reason why Battalion Commander Xu breathed a sigh of relief was simple. The role of the Guomao Mountain Air Field Station as a combat readiness airport was actually secondary. The most important combat readiness and combat mission was actually radar monitoring.
Therefore, the white mushroom-like radar on the top of the mountain is also China's most advanced multi-band composite radar. Its purpose is to monitor attacks that may come from the sea, such as fighter jets and missiles.
But now that the target scanned by the radar does not match the situation of enemy attack at sea in terms of size, speed, or flight route, Battalion Commander Xu breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he would have pressed the red button under the transparent plastic cover now. Press the button, and an instant alarm will sound throughout the station and reach the Luqi Provincial Theater Headquarters located in the outer suburbs of Quancheng City.
"It was found at this location for at least six or seven seconds..."
While the radar warrior was explaining, those flashing light spots had disappeared from the radar screen!
"Gone? Disappeared?"
Seeing the disappearing radar blip, Battalion Commander Xu's brows had turned into a knot. He picked up the phone on the table and said:
"Observation post! Observation post!"
"Are there any visual flying objects in the airspace at four o'clock?"
"The distance is about thirty-five kilometers."
Along with the conduction of the radio waves, accompanied by the rustling sound of electricity, the soldier's report came from over there:
"Report to radar station, no targets found!"
"Repeat! No targets found!"
When Battalion Commander Xu hung up the phone, the five or six people in the radar room were left staring with big eyes. Finally, the radar soldier next to him said hesitantly:
"Is it possible that it's a wild goose returning south or something?"
"Captured by radar by accident?"
After all, at the end of May, we can still often see wild geese flying south in a long line in the sky. In response to this statement, Battalion Commander Xu, who was still frowning in thought, couldn't help laughing and scolding:
"Have you ever seen a wild goose nearly three meters long?"
"Then it's not a wild goose, it's a big eagle! Oh no, none of the eagle brothers in The Condor are this big!"
Having said this, Battalion Commander Xu’s expression became solemn again, he waved his hand and said:
"Either way, this is an important situation."
"Order the helicopter platoon to prepare and take off immediately to investigate the area."
"I will call the base directly to report!"
Following the issuance of Battalion Commander Xu's order, a Z-5 helicopter soon took off with a "clatter" and flew towards the airspace where the target appeared, and Battalion Commander Xu also dialed the phone number of the base.
At the same time, the Luqi Provincial Theater Base in the outer suburbs of Quancheng City.
Two people were chatting in the office, and the orderly was pouring tea for them. The one on the left was Liang Jinsong, the director of the Luqi Provincial Defense Management Office, and the one on the right, who was wearing a military uniform and had gray hair, was the director of the entire base. Commander-in-Chief, Song Zhengming.
"Hahaha, this guy is quite interesting!"
"Telling lies with your eyes open? Sold gas tanks to Tanzania? Going to Changshan Advanced Army Academy to sell them. How did he figure it out?"
Hearing Director Liang's description, Commander Song couldn't help laughing.
"Isn't it! It's simply audacious!"
"However, perhaps the higher-ups have taken note of this. Only such people can blaze an unprecedented path!"
Director Liang took a puff of his cigarette and couldn't help but sighed and said with emotion, while Commander Song also sighed and said:
"Yes! It's easy to lay off this military factory, but in case you need weapons in an emergency."
“The time period from reconstruction to production is too long!”
At this historical stage, the military and military industry have not yet been completely separated. Many military factories are still managed by the military, so Commander Song also knows something about production matters.
"I think this guy also has feelings for the army. He just went to Guomaoshan Station to express condolences a few days ago."
"This is a lot of money. I heard that I brought a truck full of goods."
"There are more than a dozen fans of pork alone, as well as cigarettes and alcohol!"
"I heard it was delicious..."
Just as Commander Song was speaking, the phone in the office suddenly rang. He quickly stood up and walked over to answer the phone.
"Hello? Commander-in-Chief's Office."
Following the voice on the other end of the phone, Commander Song frowned. After a moment, he hung up the phone. Director Liang stood up very wisely and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Commander Song waved his hand and said:
"It doesn't matter, Guomaoshan Station reported that a small unidentified flying object was detected by radar more than thirty kilometers to the east."
"The possibility of enemy attack has been ruled out and a helicopter has been sent to investigate. There is no response from other radar stations. It should be fine. It may be a radar failure or meteorological factors."
Since there was no confidential content involved, Commander Song casually explained a few sentences. He sat down again, lit a cigarette, and continued the topic with a slightly longing tone:
"Old Liang, tell me, what new things can this guy come up with in the future?"
"To be honest, I'm even curious!"
Hearing what Commander Song said, Director Liang, who was sitting there, stared blankly at the large map hanging in the office, and then said with a wry smile:
"Old Song, he may have already worked hard."
"Yesterday he called me and asked me if there were any fighter jets flying recently at the machinery factory, and if there were any tests to be conducted, I called our combat readiness office to inquire, and then told him there were no."
"When I asked, he was mysterious and only said it was an agricultural product test..."
As soon as Director Liang finished speaking, Commander Song was stunned!
At the same time, the machine factory testing ground.
"emission!"
Five minutes after the end of the first round of range testing, as Wang Ye waved the red flag again, ten steel pipe rockets from Group B were launched with a roar, flying straight to the mountain two kilometers away!
"Boom boom boom!"
An instant later, the entire mountain wall collapsed in an instant, with fire shining and rocks flying, and the sound was extremely powerful!
