Chapter 131 The Consequences of No Prevention and Control Radar

The arsenal is currently two hundred kilometers away from the Taiyuan Airport in a straight line, so as long as you use the compass to confirm the direction and the airspeed tube to determine the speed, you can fly directly there.

The safety performance of the gyroplane also allows Liu Xiu to train boldly with confidence, allowing the novice Xiaobai to directly fly the gyroplane for a test flight.

And he still flew the gyrocopter at night, the most dangerous time. Although the view at night was not good and it was easy to hit mountains and the like, Liu Xiu didn't need to worry about this. After all, the speed of the gyrocopter was not fast in the first place. With more speed, you have enough time to dodge before loading.

Ten days later!

"Attention! We will land directly inside the airport this time. The fire team will give priority to using grenades to kill the airport sentry tower. The assault team will be divided into two teams. One team will follow me to destroy the airport's oil depot, and the other team will be on standby to protect us. After the fire team took out the airport guard tower, all the planes parked at the airport fired a grenade at me! Note that the time is only ten minutes. After ten minutes, the little devils will be stationed outside the airport. Reinforcements will arrive! As for the sniper team, they are free to fire!"

Following Liu Xiu's order, twenty-five rotorcraft carrying forty people from Liu Xiu's special team took off from the broken airport and flew towards the little Japanese's Taiyuan Airport, two hundred kilometers away.

That's right, twenty rotorcraft would have been enough for the forty-man special operations team. Liu Xiu had already carried extra ammunition just in case, so he dispatched twenty-five rotorcraft. Of course, just in case. If there are a few rotorcrafts that are damaged, it would be nice to have spare ones!

After Liu Xiu's special forces took off in a rotorcraft to an altitude of two thousand meters, they stopped climbing and flew towards the direction of Tiyuan.

At an altitude of two thousand meters, the roar of the rotorcraft's motor could barely be heard.

After flying for two hours, Liu Xiu looked at the Tiyuan Machinery Factory that appeared under the bright white moonlight. He took out his flashlight and flashed it around. When he saw the signal sent by Liu Xiu, the twenty-five rotorcraft immediately started to fly. They all shut down their engines in unison.

So twenty-five Aerial Tripods landed quietly at the little devil's Tiyuan Airport.

Originally, the aerial three-bouncer did not have the same stealth capabilities as the fifth-generation aircraft, so even if the engine was turned off, it could not achieve the stealth effect of avoiding radar. However, the little devil was too confident, so Taiyuan Airport was not equipped with an air defense radar at all.

Of course, to be more precise, it's not that the little devil doesn't have the equipment, but that the little devil himself doesn't pay attention to radar, so even if he wants to equip it, he doesn't have it.

The emergence of radar technology can be traced back to the early days of World War II. Yingguo's radar technology was fully used in the air battle of Tabulitian.

This technology provides aircraft with accurate target positioning and airspace information, allowing bombers to carry out precision bombing and fighter jets to launch targeted air superiority operations. However, it is regrettable that the little devil did not realize the importance of radar. The Little Japanese Navy attached great importance to the development of science and technology during World War II and actively introduced many advanced equipment. However, the importance of radar to air force operations has not attracted enough attention. At the same time, the Navy paid too much attention to the development of reconnaissance aircraft and neglected the research and application of radar technology. Although the Little Devils have made great breakthroughs in the field of reconnaissance aircraft and successfully designed carrier-based and water-borne reconnaissance aircraft with excellent performance, this lack of awareness of radar technology has caused irreparable losses.

In contrast, the US military attaches much higher importance to radar technology. Since the Battle of Zhengang, the US military has attached great importance to and actively applied radar technology. In the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Way Islands, the advantages of radar technology were fully demonstrated.

The US military's shore-based radar can detect the Japanese carrier-based aircraft in advance, providing fighters with better air control opportunities; while the radar on the aircraft carrier provides accurate early warning information for the carrier-based aircraft, allowing the carrier-based aircraft to quickly Fight back. These valuable experiences have given the US military a deeper understanding of the importance of radar technology.

It was not until the six-month golden period passed that the Navy began to pay attention to the development of radar technology. In the night battle for Guadalcanal, the Little Japanese Navy suffered a lot due to the lack of radar support. This battle became a turning point for the little devils to change their understanding of radar technology. They were determined to increase investment in promoting the research and development of radar technology. However, there is a large gap between the electronics industry level of the Little Devil and the United States, resulting in a slow progress in the improvement of radar technology. It was not until 44 years that radar technology began to gradually spread to the warships of the Japanese Navy. But at this time, the little devil's naval force had almost been completely wiped out, and the radar could only be used for battleship artillery battles and could not play a greater role.

It is worth mentioning that in the later stages of the Pacific War, although the performance of the No. 22 radar equipped by the Little Japanese was not as good as that of the American radar of the same era, it still played a certain role in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. The Japanese battleships and cruisers used radar No. 22 to conduct blind fire, which played a key role in the defense of anti-aircraft guns. However, in general, in the aircraft carrier duel, the Little Devil did not have the support of radar and suffered a big loss.

Therefore, radar technology played a decisive role in the air force's operations during World War II. Yingguo and Deguo recognized the value of radar technology early and invested a lot of resources in research and development. In contrast, the Japs did not realize the importance of radar and focused too much on developing reconnaissance aircraft. This makes the little devil lag behind the United States in radar technology. It was not until the late war that the Japs began to pay attention to the development of radar. However, due to various reasons, the radar technology of the Little Devil could not play a greater role. This had an important impact on the outcome of the Pacific War.

This is just like the little devil decades later who focused on hydrogen fuel cells in the tram technology that was originally supposed to be in place. It was clear that the lithium battery technology of the little devil was still unparalleled in the world before, but he gave up the good advantage and did not take advantage of it. Instead, Go and build a hydrogen fuel cell, and the result...

And now Liu Xiu wants to let the little devil taste what it's like to have no radar again.

The characteristic that the rotorcraft would not crash due to loss of power allowed Liu Xiu and the others to land twenty-five rotorcraft on the runway of the airport without being discovered by the little devils.

Liu Xiu looked at the airport guard who had not noticed them until now. He immediately had an idea and said to the fire team of the special operations platoon who was about to attack the sentry tower:

"The fire team waits for a moment. Since the Japs haven't discovered us yet, don't take action yet. I'll take the assault team to find the Japs' oil depot first. Wait until I hear the gunshots over there and you guys can take action. ! This way you can buy a little more time!"

After Liu Xiu finished speaking, he led the assault group and ran towards the airport's oil depot. The reason why Liu Xiu knew where the oil depot was in this dark night was naturally thanks to the intelligence workers of the Eighth Route Army.
