Chapter 97 K-921DE Radar Station

Chenjiaba was silent in the mist in the night. Wang Peng, who was lying on the hillside, slowly put away his telescope. Two vanguards who had entered the village to investigate had crawled to him and whispered: "President Wangying, the village is completely destroyed, and no villagers or Japanese were found."

Wang Peng nodded. He knew that it must be the Japanese army attacking the radar station that destroyed Chenjiaba, and the villagers were probably in danger.

After confirming that there were no signs of Japanese activities nearby, Wang Peng ordered the troops to quickly search and advance towards the Metro Qi Mountain where the 921de radar station was located.

Chenjiaba has a unique geographical location. It is a small mountain village surrounded by mountains. There are only a dozen families in the village. The village is facing the south and north, facing the huge canyon formed by the nameless snow-capped mountains and the Alang Mountains. Chenjiaba is at the foot of the Tieqi Mountain with an altitude of more than 1,900 meters.

As the name suggests, Tieqi Mountain is like a chess piece, with steep cliffs on all sides. Only by passing through the only road in the village can you reach the top of the mountain. The rugged road is like a wheel, and its steep terrain is a one-man who can pass through the gaze of thousands of men. Due to the unique geographical location and environment of Tieqi Mountain, it is considered to be the best place to set up a radar station, so the Allies secretly established a radar station numbered 921d here.

If the Japanese fighter jets invaded the hinterland of Kunming intend to avoid the 921de radar station, they will fly over the nameless snow mountain with an average of 4,500 meters. This will be a huge test for the fuel volume of the Japanese fighter jets and the pilot's experience and quality. Therefore, after the Japanese army discovered the existence of the 921de radar station, they did not hesitate to send Ximu Brigade, which had been training in Hokkaido for many years, to attack for many days.

The Ximu Brigade, which belongs to the "Black Wind Team" of the Japanese Mountain Force Corps, failed to attack for many days. Finally, it was possible to capture the radar station by bribing a deputy company commander in the Yunnan Army's defense forces. This shows how dangerous the location of the 921de radar station is.

Wang Peng led his troops to the Iron Chess Mountain and looked around. Under the bright moonlight, the ruins of the radar station were desolate. The top of the mountain was full of traces of fierce battles. In the windward trenches on the peak line, the bodies of the Chinese soldiers who had already rotted and smelled still remained the same as they were when they died.

After inspection, no Japanese corpses were found in the abandoned corpses. It was obvious that the Japanese had cleaned the battlefield, but the positions were still full of broken guns and weapon parts. The big pits beside the wounded soldiers of the Land of the Chinese Army proved their last bravery. Faced with these heroes who had resisted to the end, the Allies who had covered their noses could not help but be respectful.

Wang Peng personally took the lead in collecting these friendly troops who had been tragic for many days. Due to limited conditions, all the corpses could be placed in a bullet crater and buried. Finally, after statistics, there were 79 corpses collected, including only the bodies of Sergeant Rhodes, a black technician of the US military, and the whereabouts of the other radar station technicians were unknown.

Since climbing the wheel peak, Wang Peng knew that the so-called maneuver defense in the brigade headquarters had been just unrealistic and boasting. The terrain of Tieqi Mountain does not have the range and conditions for him to maneuver. In this widest area, a hundred meters and less than thirty meters at the narrowest point, there was only a small piece of woods with a mountain top arranged in a ladder-shaped manner, which was arranged into three parts in different sizes. Unfortunately, the defenders of the Yunnan Army lacked the experience of defending positions and failed to effectively utilize the terrain.

Looking around, Wang Peng knew that the only thing he could do at this moment was to stick to it, stick to it. Once the radar station was effective, they would definitely become the focus of the Japanese army to eradicate the ground. Only by sticking to it will they have hope of survival until the brigade defeated the main force of the Japanese army invading Kunming.

Thinking back to the tactical coordination arrangements of Song Yuhang, a voyage, Wang Peng had to deeply admire him. At the same time, he was also impressed by the generous and demeanor of the voyage.

After cleaning up the ruins of the radar station under the cliff rocks, the Allies were responsible for restoring twenty technicians and staff at the radar station. Under the leadership of Major Gerald and Lieutenant Shana, the 10th Air Force Wing staff, they began to install debugging equipment nervously and quickly.

Lieutenant Shana, who had met Wang Peng before, did not deliberately entangle Wang Peng to find the missing person at the 921de radar station. This made Wang Peng feel relieved. Although he was nominally commanding this operation, he had to refer to the opinions of Major Gerald and Lieutenant Shana when making key decisions. This was also the most troublesome thing for him.

The ammunition and food carried by more than fifty mules and horses were enough for the troops led by Wang Peng to maintain high-intensity battles for several weeks. Moreover, there was a sweet spring in the woods on the top of the mountain. Sufficient material guarantee made Wang Peng feel confident that he would successfully hold on for three days. First, Wang Peng sent a platoon of infantry to assist the engineers in the platoon to carry out high-density mine laying within a depth of 200 meters on the front of the entire position. The main minefields were guaranteed to be within the firepower range of light and heavy machine guns.

Then, based on the previous fierce battlefield ruins, Wang Peng judged that the Japanese army must have used a large number of ground and air force to assist in the war during the attack. Two company commanders were arranged to organize multiple anti-aircraft holes to dig multiple anti-aircraft holes and at the same time, the original ground was greatly changed. The two war defense artillery was set up in excavation fortifications with tops and camouflaged fire. Cross-fire blocked the only mountain and forest access.

Due to the previous fierce battle, the weeds in the woods and weeds about 80 meters below the position were blown up or burned, so the condescending shooting range was very clear. Even so, Wang Peng still led a platoon of soldiers to clean up the hillside, clearing all the huge rocks on the hillside that could be used by the Japanese army as a cover, filling the ditches and leaving the Japanese offensive troops nowhere to hide.

A natural cave located more than ten meters away from the radar station was only five or six meters deep. Because it was almost completely blocked by the cliff, it was very concealed. So it was changed into a temporary command post by Wang Peng's subordinates and built a hammock with two trunks as thick as a bowl. Wang Peng was very satisfied with this, and what he didn't expect was that this residence would last for so long!

At dawn, all the troops who had been busy all night entered the fortification to rest in seclusion. Sure enough, at 9:00 a.m., a Japanese Type 91 reconnaissance plane flew to Tieqi Mountain. Perhaps it was the Japanese reconnaissance plane that had another mission, or perhaps it was the Japanese reconnaissance plane pilot who was careless. The reconnaissance plane did not circumnavigate above Tieqi Mountain, but just turned around and flew to the southwest and headed straight for Kunming.

Due to the unique terrain at the top of Tieqi Mountain, the troops hidden here during the day almost stopped all their activities. However, the recovery work of the radar station did not stop for a moment. US military technicians and engineers would always look at these Chinese soldiers wearing American military uniforms and holding American weapons in their hands while busy.

In the evening, the troops who had been hiding for a day began to carry out organized activities on the positions and continued to renovate the previously unfinished bunkers.

More than a dozen US military technicians set up canned food and whiskey to prepare a sumptuous dinner. They enthusiastically greeted the Chinese soldiers who helped to have a tired day to eat together. Even if the Chinese soldiers could not speak, they knew that the American big nose wanted to treat them to dinner, but they still refused with a simple smile on their faces.

Lieutenant Shana came to the spring with a bath towel, which was less than 2 square meters. The cool spring water made Shana feel very happy and was ready to wash away all the dust of this day. After all, love beauty is a woman's nature.

Just as Shana was wearing her thin pajamas and down into the spring, a platoon leader panted and shouted: "The battalion deputy is not good, that American girl has gone to the spring to take a shower!"

"What?" Wang Peng's face suddenly pulled down, and then said coldly: "What do sentries do for food? Why don't you stop it?"

The platoon leader who reported the news rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "The American women are almost transparent in the ground, and it's so great to have a waterfall! My soldiers are all green-headed guys who have seen those scenes. Who dares to go up? Why don't you go?"

"You!" Wang Peng's eyes suddenly glared and kicked the platoon leader's butt: "Aren't you just a butt-squite girl? You are so scared that you are so virtuous. After Lieutenant Shana has washed her, she will notify her. Then she said I'm asking her for something!"

"Yes!" The platoon leader who reported the news gave a salute, then waved and raised his legs and ran away!

Soon, Shana, with water droplets on her hair, came to Wang Peng's command post. She looked around in surprise for a week and then sat casually on Wang Peng's hammock. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, delicate and white skin, and plump figure. Perhaps because Wang Peng spoke fluent English, Shana did not have much strangeness to Wang Peng. Compared with those Chinese soldiers who looked at the rustic and stupid in the world, she admired Wang Peng very much.

Wang Peng had only heard of the scene of the beauty taking out the bath before. Today's personal experience made his heart, which he thought was like steel, melted suddenly. Shanna's white and smooth calves moved from time to time. Facing the invisible temptation, he was a little distracted while adjusting his emotions: "Lieutenant Shanna, the only source of water here is the peak of the spring water. The surging volume is very small, probably only enough for the normal drinking water of hundreds of us, so I hope you don't go to the middle of the spring pool next time you take a bath!"

Growing up in the United States, a country that has always been free, Shanna was a little disgusted with Wang Peng's kind words. Although she knew that what Wang Peng said was correct, the natural sense of superiority of Americans made her feel that it was embarrassing to be taught a lesson by a low-level Chinese military officer. After all, Lieutenant General Song Yuhang, their local supreme commander, was very polite and gentlemanly when he saw her.

Shana snorted heavily on her nose as an answer, and then said coldly: "Is there anything else in Lieutenant Colonel Wang?"

When Wang Peng heard that Shana had not used to calling him Mr. Wang, he knew that the foreign woman in front of him had also become a little bitch. He smiled helplessly in his heart, raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation and said, "Please, Lieutenant Shana!"

Unlike the Americans' sumptuous dinner, each Chinese soldier was given a bag of Allied B-type standard field rations. For the large strips of biscuits in the ration bag, most Chinese soldiers chose to keep half of them in their lunch boxes.

The Americans looked at the B-type field rations that they described as able to eat dead wild dogs. The Chinese soldiers actually ate with relish? Could it be that the field rations airlifted to the Chinese are specially processed?

A curious US military engineer asked for a bag from the company's military officer who distributed rations. After opening it, he immediately frowned and shrugged his companions, and then threw the whole bag of rations into the nearby grass. Seeing this scene, all the Chinese soldiers nearby were stunned.
