"Improving the guidance system is the only design goal." The director said, "The Air Force is very clear that the accuracy of the 'Tason' should be improved from 85 meters to 30 meters or better. As a technical support, the Air Force handed this over to us, A controller prototype that was sabotaged and repaired by intelligence personnel."

The supervisor finished his speech and left.Harry Nyquist, who had just joined the development team, looked disdainful: "We don't need any captured Chinese trophies. Bell Labs can provide what the Air Force wants. Not only the Soviet Union and China can do this kind of thing. , we can do the same here...the air force does not need to provide spoils, the air force only needs to give us a check."

Harry Nyquist turned, took a stack of photocopies of magazines or papers from his pocket, and dropped them on the desk.

"Cybernetics - The Science of Machine Control and Communication", Tang Hua, 1946

Optimal Estimate Theory, Tang Hua, 1947

Optimal Control and a Complementary Inference to Cybernetics, Leo Pontryagin, 1948

……

These are photocopies of academic papers in Russian.There are also English magazines and papers: those of Evans, Qian Xuesen, and Nyquist himself...

What co-spies are all deceiving themselves.Nyquist is no racial supremacist, much less an idiot.In 1948, he had an afternoon discussion with Qian Xuesen at an academic conference.The TANG who signed the Russian paper and the CHIEN he knew are obviously the same kind of people.

"This is the result of writing us a check too late and being too stingy." Nyquist glanced at the controller sent by the Air Force, and then at his colleagues in the laboratory, "However, since the contract has been awarded, we Just get to work."

A similar scene also happened at Radio Corporation of America, but the scene here is a bit awkward, and the bat project team has been disbanded for a long time.The U.S. Air Force even wanted to find similar projects from the Navy to see if there was any potential for development and improvement, but in the end there was no good choice.

The "Area 51" in southwestern Nevada is another scene.Alien flying saucers fly by here every day... No, it's a modified B-29 flying by. The B-29 changes altitude and heading every time it flies. Various vehicles with unknown uses on the ground are crowded at this time, and everyone is nervously testing something.

……

Wuliang Suhai.

Of course, eating swan meat 37 years before the promulgation of the "Wild Animal Protection Law" was not against the law, just as it was not against the law for Tang Hua to fry fish in Wuliangsuhai.It would be even better if you bring a decent chef with you when you come to the test base for a business trip. The swan meat roasted by a group of rough men who lack ingredients and skills is really unflattering.

Two or three days later, the Hongqi-2 test bomb was transported to the test base, but nothing happened in the next test launch. 12 missiles were tested at the test base without any surprises. One of the missiles had an engine failure. One of the missiles experienced instability, and the remaining nine were all normal.All the 1 missiles and boosters were picked up by the staff of the test base, ready to be taken back to Shenyang for analysis and testing.

In fact, Tang Hua paid more attention to the test and measurement system of the test base than Hongqi-2 this time.For each test flight of the missile, Tang Hua came back mainly to check whether the data detected by the two radar stations and the two optical measuring instruments were consistent.I have to say that the measurement accuracy and consistency of radar and optics are still very high, especially the optical system is more used than the Ming Tombs' own DIY set of tubes.

"The maximum shooting height... is 12200 meters on average," Feng Xiufeng was looking at the test data after all the tests were over. "Wow, it can shoot 12 kilometers into the sky, more than double the height of the Hongqi-1 in North Korea!"

"That's the theory. But if you do a little maneuvering, the shooting height will not reach this number." Tang Hua said, "However, the flying height of the B-36 light-loaded bomb is only 11000 meters to 2 meters. The Hongqi-[-] Should be able to handle it."

So far, the U.S. Air Force has only used B-29 heavy bombers in North Korea. After all, this thing is large, reliable, and functional. B-36 has been staying in the mainland and occasionally stationed in the UK, and only visited the Western Pacific once in the first half of 51.

The maximum combat range measured by Hongqi-2 this time is 20 to 22 kilometers, and this data seems to be good.The range of Hongqi-1 is 8500 meters, and the range of Hongqi-2 is more than twice that of Hongqi-1, so the coverage area of ​​each combat unit is almost five times that of Hongqi-1... The problem is that the missiles are more expensive.Another problem is that Tang Hua can't get a Soviet truck with a stronger load capacity for the time being, so the original quadruple-mounted inclined launcher on the Hongqi-1 has to be changed to a double-mounted one on the Hongqi-2.

The problem of the truck can not be solved first, but the problems of radar, control system and computer must be solved.The range has increased from 8500 meters to 20 kilometers, and the accuracy of command guidance will have declined when it approaches the maximum range, and the quality of the warhead of the Hongqi-2 has also been reduced.It is best to increase the average hit accuracy a little bit, otherwise the combat effectiveness will not meet the standard.

Japan, Hokkaido.

"No matter how outstanding a young man is, he was farming in the rice fields the day before, and suddenly he was issued a rifle. He just learned how to shoot a gun and was sent to the battlefield. How could he perform well?"

"Any army, any position, requires long-term and persistent training to achieve success. Impetuous mood cannot become an elite soldier, and it is not advisable to stop at a glance. Therefore, I want to bring all of you and your troops to Japan. Focus on training here!"

At the training ground of the United Nations Army, Kim Jong-oh, commander of the 1st Division of South Korea, spoke to the mid- and low-level officers who disembarked and arrived in Japan.

At the end of the fifth campaign, the U.S. military suffered heavy losses, and it was difficult for Truman to make up his mind to send new U.S. divisions from the mainland to the Korean battlefield. Together, Van Fleet and Ridgway had to continue to use the human resources of South Korea.

From the first to the fifth battles, the combat effectiveness of the South Korean army was very poor, but Van Fleet still found the bright spots of the South Korean army.Although the morale of these troops was low and their technical and tactical capabilities were low, the South Korean officers obeyed their orders very well. As long as the US military was behind them as a supervising team, the South Korean army would not dare to retreat, and they would obediently climb the mountain under the rain of bullets.

In the fifth campaign, Van Vleet also found that the longer the South Korean division was established, the better its combat effectiveness.Those units that were rebuilt after being wiped out in previous battles, because they only formed an army for one or two months or less, they were often defeated in seconds when encountering the Chinese army.However, some South Korean divisions have not been wiped out for several months by accident, and they are obviously much better in fighting.

Van Fleet concluded from this: South Koreans are not incapable of fighting, but lack the correct training methods and training environment.

After the fifth battle ended and the 7st Marine Division withdrew to Japan, there were only 2 US Army divisions left on the Korean Peninsula: the 3nd, 7rd, 25th, 40th, 45th, 9th US Army Divisions and the 2st US Cavalry Division.In addition, there is a "Commonwealth Division" composed of British brigades, Canadian and Australian troops participating in the war.Van Fleet has always believed that the U.S. military must have 3 divisions in North Korea to be safe enough, and that a single division cannot be used as an independent combat unit, but must be grouped together with military units-two divisions in front of each other. behind in case of accidents. The 3 armies and 9 divisions gathered on the confrontation line on the Korean peninsula, so that the U.S. military can feel free to attack and defend.But Truman only agreed to send one more division to Japan in the fall, and nothing else.

In this situation, Van Fleet had to strengthen the training of the South Korean Army.Only by training the South Koreans well can they hold the current front line. If they train better, they may be able to carry out small counterattacks locally.

Why do we need the right training environment?If you train locally in South Korea, those strong men who are captured by force will easily escape...

While the officer was not paying attention, he threw the gun and ran back to farm.The officer found that the recruits were missing, and was afraid of being blamed by his superiors and the U.S. military, so he would lead a conscription team to arrest the strong men every time they passed through a village, and when they came back, they put on South Korean military uniforms and showed them to the Americans: "Taijun, count the heads, I will count the heads of the entire company." Still 150 people, no deserters!

It's just that if you catch them and flee, and if you catch a new batch and flee again, the soldiers of these troops will always be peasants who have been trained for less than half a month, and obviously they cannot fight.

The way to completely solve this problem is to transport the entire division of the South Korean Army to Japan and immerse themselves in training for half a year.

The Japanese are not familiar with the place, so let's see how you run as a South Korean.Even if they run away, Hokkaido is still an isolated island, and deserters cannot return home.

Once the training environment is resolved, the training method will be resolved by the [-]st Marine Division.

After five battles, the [-]st Marine Division returned to Japan to serve as the head coach of the Korean War General Reserve, the Garrison of the Japanese Islands, and the South Korean Army.

The training ground in Hokkaido was actually opened by the 17st Marine Division. Now it specializes in training small soldiers of the South Korean Army. The middle and low-level South Korean officers went to the United States for training, and were sent to [-] military academies in the United States to study in batches.

"Brothers!" Jin Zhongwu finally encouraged the officers under him with impassioned words, "General Bai Shanye died heroically on the Imjin River for the independence and freedom of the Republic of Korea! Your designation is still the First Division of the First Army. Remember, your The seniors, like General Bai Shanye, faced a strong enemy, fought to the death without retreating, and demonstrated the country's prestige with a broken spirit. We must inherit the mantle of the first division and fight for the future and hope of the country on the battlefield..."

……

Fengcheng, Liaoning, Volunteer Army POW Camp.

Bai Shanye, who died heroically for his country, has become accustomed to living here.In fact, the homestay and daily life on the Korean Peninsula are somewhat similar to those in Northeast China. Although Bai Shanye entered the POW camp for less than three months, much later than Walker and Lawrence Kaiser, he is now living in the POW camp like his own old man. The house is generally comfortable.

Fengcheng has vacated an entire town to build a prisoner-of-war camp. Even so, the houses are still not enough. The volunteer army is constructing several places to build houses to improve the living conditions of the prisoners of war.However, although the small soldiers and shrimps among the prisoners of war live in a crowded place, the living environment of the four general-level prisoners of war will not be wronged.

The Acting Commander of the First South Korean Army and Commander of the First Division Bai Shanye, the Commander of the Eighth Army Walker, the Commander of the 8nd Division of Meibu Lawrence Kaiser, and the Commander of the 2th Division of Meibu, Black Hill, lived in a small landlord family in the town. At home, each person has a separate room.Of course the largest house belongs to Lieutenant General Walker.The activities of the four are relatively free, as long as they don't leave the landlord's courtyard, they can do whatever they want.If you want to take a walk in the town with the Landlord's Courtyard, you can be accompanied by two volunteer guards.

"Bai, how long will the kimchi in your jar be edible?" Lawrence Kaiser asked.

Bai Shanye didn't reply at first, and concentrated on playing a set of boxing techniques inherited from his family in the middle of the yard. The boxing techniques were very slow, not like boxing techniques, but more like gymnastics.After completing a set of movements, Bai Shanye replied: "The anaerobic fermentation of lactic acid bacteria takes a long time. The current temperature is 25 to 30 degrees, so it can be estimated that it will take about 10 days to eat."

"Bai, although you are not an excellent officer, you are indeed an excellent cook." It was Blackshire, the commander of the 24th Meibu division who spoke.The collapse of the Western Front in the Fifth Battle began with the disastrous defeat of the 24st Division of South Korea on the Imjin River. The [-]th Division of Mibu was surrounded and wiped out, and the first nail on the coffin was nailed by Baek Sun-yeop.So Blackshear did have a problem with Bai Shanye, everyone is a high-ranking official and can't make a move, but a few words of ridicule are unavoidable.

Bai Shanye was not angry, and smiled reassuringly, "It was only after I was captured that I suddenly realized that my mistake in life was to choose the military. This is the truth. I really shouldn't be an officer."

Bai Shanye's experience after being captured is also quite miraculous. He was identified from the prisoners of war on May 5. As the fourth general of the United Nations Army captured by the Volunteer Army, Bai Shanye was rushed to the rear on May 1, was interrogated in Dandong and then held alone.

"I just regretted it, very much."

Sitting on the chair opposite the interviewer, Bai Shanye, who is fluent in Mandarin, Northeast dialect, and Hebei dialect, spoke sincerely when he was conscripted by the Japanese army and led the Korean puppet army into North China to fight (invasion).

"In order not to annoy the Chinese people and let my troops go through the war smoothly, I have always kept a low profile in Hebei. The Jiandao special team was stationed in the east of Hebei. When we went to the first village, we first visited the oldest man in the village. Greetings politely to the old man, asking for cooperation, paying twice the market price for food purchases, and distributing candy and food to the children in the village.... By the time Japan was defeated, only one member of the Jiandao special team died due to an accident , and the rest went home safely."

"I testify that what he just said is true." The soldier standing guard outside the door poked his head in, "I am from Cangzhou, and I am a child in that village."

Thinking of this miraculous chance encounter with a very small probability, Bai Shanye was also filled with emotion.

All four of them got up to start their day's activities, and shouts came from outside the door.

"The Turks are here to sell pancakes again. Gentlemen three prisoners of war, do you want to buy some?" Walker asked.
