Chapter 717 Everything is ready
"It's indeed a bit hasty now. The monthly regular calibration of the long sword has not been done, and the radar calibration flight has not been carried out," Deputy Battalion Commander Wang added afterward.

"I reckon that today's battle will definitely be fought. Since the Lightning Squad is here, Commander Mao can't let it go easily. The battalion commander is not here, and the radar school flight must be too late. We still plan to use it on the No. 1 car." Use the direction indicator to check the synchronization between the launcher and the guidance radar." Staff Officer Gong said with a straight face and frowning.

"Not only to check the synchronization, but also to check the consistency of the target designation radar and the guidance radar, and it will be done soon!" Deputy Battalion Commander Wang said firmly.

At 7:30, Dowding ordered the Blitz to climb to 18000 meters, and the course was aligned with Jalna. At this time, the distance between the two sides was 480 kilometers.

At 7:44, the Second Battalion was inspecting weapons, and suddenly received an order from the headquarters to "immediately camouflage the weapons".Therefore, the troops immediately stopped the weapon inspection, began to cover the long sword with a camouflage net, and sent personnel to the mountain to cut trees to camouflage the road.

At 8 o'clock, the second battalion received an order from the headquarters to "fight back and flee".The troops immediately gave up their camouflage and began to prepare their long swords.At this time, the gunpowder pillars for forty rounds of missiles were also airlifted from the base in southern Tibet.The chief of staff immediately ordered the second company to drive the transport and loading vehicles to the third company's position in accordance with the order of launchers 1, 3, 5, and 2.The officers and soldiers of the third company, who hadn't rested all night, tensed up even more at this time, and devoted themselves seriously to battle preparations.Three consecutive and four rows of large cranes hoisted the missiles from the transport and loading vehicles to a row of process assembly vehicles, and the first row replaced the powder column, and then re-lifted the missiles to the transport and loading vehicles.Afterwards, the third platoon re-tested the missile.

At 10:10 in the morning, forty rounds of the prepared Chinese long sword were transported into the firing position of the second company.The Chief of Staff immediately ordered the second company to load the launcher.When the third company replaced the gunpowder column for forty missiles, the first, second, and fourth companies were not idle.Under the coordination of the battalion command post, the two target designation radars and guidance radars of the fourth company jointly conducted a consistency check. The battalion command post used the direction indicator to select a tree far away as a calibration object, and let the three radars work together. Carry out calibration. This inspection should have been done with an airplane, but because time did not allow it, we had to stop doing it.Next, Staff Officer Gong climbed to the platform on the roof of No. 1 car and used the direction indicator to check the synchronization of the guidance radar and the second company's four launchers.When the forty missiles were ready, the first company checked them for the response signal, and all the long swords were fine.

After the consistency check of the three radars and the synchronous inspection of the four launchers and the guidance radar, Staff Officer Gong immediately reported to Deputy Battalion Commander Wang.Hearing that there is no problem with the consistency of the radar and the synchronization of the launcher, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang said with a sigh of relief: "Everything is ready, the only thing I owe is Dongfeng."

At 10:25, Jalna's battle meeting was not over yet.At the beginning of the meeting, no one spoke, and once they opened their mouths, they couldn't stop it. However, just like the Southern Tibet War Conference, the situation of the three battalion commanders emphasizing difficulties and fear of taking responsibility has not fundamentally changed.

At 10:40 pm, the scouts reported that the Blitz was about to enter the sky over Jalna.Mao Bang saw that the time was already very tense, so he immediately stood up with a serious expression, his blade-like eyes swept over everyone's faces, waved his arms, and said firmly: "The enemy planes are about to enter the sky above Jalna. You have to fight whether you want to fight or not! This cannot be changed. How can you only win a war and not lose a war? If you lose, find the reason, and if you win, you can sum up your experience. However, 36 kilometers and 38 kilometers open the antenna, 8 The rule of launching missiles in seconds cannot be changed. This is an order! As long as you are within the effective range of the long sword, you can all fight boldly. I will be responsible for any mistakes. If you miss the fighter plane, you will be responsible. This time In war, we have to accept the lesson from the last time. The four battalions have to be divided into one task; there are main ones, and there are also feints. The concept of a game of chess, no matter which battalion takes down the enemy aircraft group, everyone deserves credit!"

Next, Mao Bangchu immediately ordered the battalion commanders of the second and third battalions to return to the battalion to direct the battle. The commanders of the first and fourth battalions had no time to go back because they were too far away, so he instructed them to stay at the headquarters and use the phone Command troops to fight.

The jeep of the Second Battalion is an old car, and it can't go fast even if it wants to.Pilot Zhao En has been with Battalion Commander Yao since the formation of the unit, and he was even more anxious when he saw that the battalion commander was anxious.On the way back to the Second Battalion, we had to pass a railway crossing.Just as Zhao En was driving his car through the railway crossing, a farmer came head-on. Seeing that the car was about to hit the farmer, Zhao En slammed on the brakes, and the farmer leaned back and fell into the ditch.Yao Xijiu got out of the car quickly and pulled the farmer out of the ditch.Fortunately, the farmer was not injured, so he hurried on to the car and continued on his way.

Along the way, Yao Xijiu's mind was in a mess. While thinking about how to fight this battle, he also wondered what problems the army had.At this time, he then thought of the Sangma radar station that had just been transferred from the southern Tibet base. Because he didn't know the personnel and technical situation, he was very worried.He decided that after returning to the camp, he couldn't just rely on Sangmareda blindly. If it lost its target at a critical moment, it would be fatal!
At 11:05, the enemy aircraft group was 200 kilometers away.The second battalion's target indication radar captured the target after it was turned on.The headquarters kept asking Yao Xijiu if he was back. Just as the chief of staff put down the phone, Zhao En rushed into the camp in a jeep. Seeing Battalion Commander Yao get off the car, the chief of staff hurriedly reported to the headquarters.After Yao Xijiu entered the command post, he simply conveyed the order of the command headquarters' combat meeting to the personnel in the battalion command post, and then seriously said to the palace staff officer: "Gong staff officer, the Sangma radar has just been transferred, and I still have to use it for the first time." Don’t worry, you must be prepared to prevent it from losing its target at a critical time.”

"understand!"

Yao Xijiu hurriedly left the command post, boarded the No. 3 car, and mobilized the troops for emergency combat through the microphone.Then, he earnestly conveyed the orders at the combat meeting to the guide technician, the three longitudinal officers, and the company commander of the second company. He heard that the commander and the combat staff of the headquarters all supported the use of close and fast warfare. Happy, the guide technician immediately said: "Battalion Commander, don't worry, after receiving the news that the enemy aircraft group came out for activities this morning, we "two stations and one institute" seriously practiced together for an hour. Next, we must strike down the lightning quickly and neatly!"

"This time we can't hit the lightning again, our Lieyan troops really don't have the face to meet Jiangdong's elders." The second company commander said angrily.

In the Jalna headquarters, after the combat meeting was over, Mao Bangchu and his staff immediately carried out research and analysis. Mao Bangchu judged from the route map of the Lightning fleet that the possibility of enemy planes breaking into the cluster fire network today is very high. If according to Lightning Judging from the route map of the last invasion, this time the enemy aircraft group passed through Nashik without passing through Accra. Because the first battalion was deployed in Accra at the time, he thought in his heart that the first battalion was the demonstration battalion of the Flame Troops. All No.1, this time into the actual combat, they should also be allowed to open first.But after another thought, I hoped to go to Nashik again. Let the second battalion fight this battle, so I have greater confidence. I can't mess up this battle just because I take care of the first battalion!

Seeing that the enemy aircraft group was still 300 kilometers away from Nashik, Mao Bangchu immediately ordered the combat staff around him: "Ask Yao Xijiu if he has returned to the Second Battalion."

After a while, the combat staff replied: "Report to the commander, Yao Xijiu has not arrived in the camp yet."

"Ask again in 2 minutes."

"Yes!"

After a while, the combat staff officer reported again: "Yao Xijiu still hasn't returned to the camp."

At this time, Mao moved out and became anxious. At 10:15, Lightning was 250 kilometers away from Nashik, and there was still no news of Yao Xijiu's arrival from the Second Battalion.At this moment, Mao Bangchu couldn't sit still anymore. He felt hot and upset all over. He jumped up from the chair and walked to the window. While blowing the air, he took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.At this time, the combat staff officer suddenly stepped forward and reported: "Report to the commander, Yao Xijiu has returned to the second battalion."

"understood."

Mao Bangchu suddenly turned from worry to joy, and immediately returned to the plotting table.At this time, judging from the route map, the enemy aircraft group is very likely to pass through Langenkad, and the Fourth Battalion is being deployed in that area. "This battle will be fought by the Fourth Battalion, they may not be sure; what's more, their battalion commander is still staying at the headquarters"

Thinking of this, he suddenly became worried again. After hesitating for a moment, he was about to call the battalion commander Wei of the Fourth Battalion to call the battalion command post to inquire about the combat readiness of the troops, when he suddenly saw signs of turning around in the enemy aircraft group from the radar screen. , so he immediately raised his vigilance.

At 11:37, the enemy aircraft group was 180 kilometers away from the Second Battalion.At this time, it began to turn left. After 15 minutes, it was 120 kilometers away from the Second Camp.At this time, the enemy plane group made another 30-degree turn and flew towards the second battalion.Mao Bangchu and the combat staff immediately cheered up, feeling that a stone in their hearts had finally fallen to the ground. Mao Bangchu immediately said to a combat staff: "Pass my order: order the second battalion to open the antenna at 37 kilometers and destroy the target!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the combat staff conveyed the order to the second battalion.

In the second battalion combat command post.When the enemy planes were about to fly over Accra, they suddenly turned their course to the First Battalion.Deputy Battalion Commander Wang and Staff Officer Gong, who were surrounding the close combat plotting table, kept their faces straight and said nothing. They felt that the battle would probably be handed over to the First Battalion.But they were not jealous of the first battalion, but worried that the first battalion's close-up combat skills were not strong enough, and they let go of the enemy aircraft group in a careless manner.At that point, all previous efforts have been for naught.
