The command headquarters is located north of Old Mountain.

Translation: "North of Old Mountain, Command Headquarters."

Haha, great! This new gear from Harbin Institute of Technology successfully thwarted the monkeys' counterattack and even wiped out large numbers of them—on this frontline, their corpses are stacked like a mountain!

Translation: "\"Haha, good, good, your Ha Gong Da's new equipment successfully let us defend against the monkeys' counterattack, and moreover wiped out a large number of monkeys; on this front line position, the monkeys' corpses are piled up like a mountain! \"" Need to keep quotes. Use English quotes.

Old Yuan was delighted, unable to suppress his smile.

Translation: "Yuan Lao was very pleased, his face showing an uncontainable smile."

"It's an honor to help frontline troops defend against enemy sneak attacks," Qin Miao replied.

Translation: "\"Being able to help front-line soldiers defend against enemy sneak attacks, we are also honored. \" Qin Miao replied."

By the way, why didn't you produce this earlier?

Translation: "\"By the way, why didn't you bring it out earlier? \""

This... this device was only just developed!

This... this thing was also only recently developed!

The man-portable anti-infantry radar was a project Qin Miao proposed last year; the electronics department labored over it for a while, eventually producing it, though it still had flaws. Only when we worked on the armed helicopter did we further refine it, giving it true practical capability.

Translation: "The individual anti-infantry radar was a project Qin Miao proposed last year; the electronics department worked on it for a long time, later they indeed produced it, but it still had imperfections; this time, by working on the armed helicopter, they further perfected the project, making it truly capable of practical use."

By the way, what made you decide to tinker with this anti-infantry weapon? From now on, we won't have to worry about monkey night attacks.

By the way, what were you thinking, to tinker with such an anti-infantry weapon? From now on, we won't have to fear monkey night raids!

Qin Miao felt a little embarrassed: "Well, this is just our random idea..."

Qin Miao felt a bit embarrassed: "Well, this is just our random idea..."

The West has no such anti-infantry radar; it was pioneered by the Russians. Developing it was born of necessity, since the Russians lacked advanced night-vision gear.

Translation: "The anti-infantry radar does not exist in the West; it was first created by the old Russians, and developing such a weapon was actually out of necessity, because the old Russians lacked advanced night-vision devices!"

If we had infrared imaging night-vision gear, Qin Miao wouldn't bother with this anti-infantry radar—the former is the most advanced night-combat equipment.

Translation: "Actually, if they had infrared imaging night-vision devices, Qin Miao wouldn't bother with this anti-infantry radar; the former is the most advanced equipment for night combat!"

But we don't have it at home!

Translation: "But we don't have it domestically!"

The earliest night-vision technology was developed by Germans facing imminent defeat in WWII, using infrared searchlights to emit infrared rays that illuminate targets, reflect back into the eyepiece, and cause infrared-sensitive fluorescent powder to glow, enabling nighttime observation.

Translation: "The earliest night-vision technology was developed by Germans facing imminent defeat in WWII, using infrared lamps to emit infrared rays, shining them on targets, the reflections entering the eyepiece, stimulating fluorescent powder sensitive to infrared to glow, thus observing night conditions."

It's essentially like shining a flashlight at night, except infrared light is used instead of visible light.

Translation: "This is actually just like shining a flashlight on a night road, except using infrared instead of visible light."

During the Cold War, this night-vision technology was widely used; in the Gulf War, poorly equipped Iraqi troops used infrared searchlights to light their night routes, only to be spotted by Western forces with infrared imagers from up to five kilometers away.

Translation: "During the Cold War, this night-vision technology was also widely used; in the Gulf War, the poorly equipped Iraqi troops, using infrared lamps to light their way at night, were detected by Western forces equipped with infrared imagers from five kilometers away!"

Though invisible to the naked eye, infrared light is a dead giveaway to an infrared imager—making this equipment the stupidest way to expose yourself.

Translation: "Although the naked eye cannot see infrared rays, before an infrared imager, this thing is the most foolish equipment that exposes oneself!"

The West pursued low-light night-vision devices, essentially large vacuum tubes that amplify faint ambient light; this gear also has drawbacks—once hit by strong light it burns out instantly, as when the crying nation's forces used this tactic against British armed helicopters in the Falklands War.

Translation: "Meanwhile, the West pursued the path of low-light night-vision devices, essentially a large vacuum tube that amplifies faint external light; this device also has drawbacks—once exposed to strong light, it burns out instantly; in the Falklands War, the troops of the Crying Country dealt with British armed helicopters in this way."

Later, when Western infrared imaging technology matured, they uniformly adopted this kind of night-vision equipment; the Russians, lagging behind, thus developed the anti-infantry radar.

Translation: "Later, when Western infrared imaging technology developed, they uniformly switched to this night-vision equipment; the old Russians, technologically backward, thus developed the anti-infantry radar."

It's visible to the naked eye by day, but it's primarily meant for nighttime use.

Translation: "Visible to the naked eye in daylight, it is mainly intended for nighttime use."

Now we also employ this technology, which can be seen as an invention that forges a new path; but whatever the reason, the battlefield is the only true test of a weapon's effectiveness.

Translation: "Now we also use this technology, counting it as an invention that opens a new path; however, regardless of the reason, the battlefield is the sole standard for testing whether a weapon is effective!"

"Daydreaming, fine—let's just keep daydreaming!" Old Yuan chuckled, saying: "Now Old Mountain has been retaken, the new tactics have been tested, San Shui, the front line is still too dangerous, so the capital has sent a telegram ordering you to return."

Translation: "\"Random ideas, fine, from now on just hide and daydream! \" Yuan Lao chuckled, saying: \"Now Old Mountain has been retaken, the new tactics have been tested, San Shui, the front line is still too dangerous, so the Capital has sent a telegram ordering you to return. \""

"Ah?"

Translation: "\"Ah? \""

Qin Miao could also imagine that superiors wouldn't let him stay on the front line too long; this time, with high tech, we've retaken Old Mountain, and his mission is essentially accomplished; next time… perhaps we should bring the armed helicopter over for testing?

Translation: "Qin Miao could also imagine that superiors wouldn't let him stay long on the front line; this time, with high technology, they reclaimed Old Mountain, his mission could be considered completed; next time... probably they'd bring the armed helicopter over for testing?"

"Well, I won't cause trouble for the superiors."

Translation: "\"Hmm, I won't cause trouble for the superiors. \""

"Go back, keep daydreaming, all for us to research new weapons; I think I've figured it out—those guys over there simply don't understand how to use high technology; they're still stuck in the past! They can beat the French, beat the Americans, but they absolutely cannot defeat us."

The enemy commander, Lai Weimi, is someone I heard about from the staff; Qin Miao also knows a bit about him.

Translation: "The opposing commander, Li Weimi, this is what I heard from the staff officer; this person, Qin Miao also knows a bit about."

His comrade-in-arms, Huang Can, was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the People's Armed Forces, while Lai Weimi only received the title of a retired officer; after his death in 2015, his tombstone bears a monkey proverb.

Translation: "His comrade-in-arms, Huang Can, was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the People's Armed Forces, while Li Weimi only received the title of a retired officer; in 2015, after his death, his tombstone bears a monkey proverb."

Anyone who fails to adjust the sails in a fair wind will eventually be swallowed by huge waves.

Translation: "He who forgets to adjust the sails when the wind is fair will ultimately be swallowed by huge waves!"

Lai Weimi is only suited to fight past wars; he doesn't understand modern high-tech warfare.

Translation: "Li Weimi is only suited to fight past wars; modern high-tech warfare? He doesn't understand it!"

Thinking of this, Qin Miao smiled: "From now on, we'll continue using high technology; during the day, as soon as we spot them advancing, we can call in the rear's Qiang Five..."

Thinking of this, Qin Miao smiled: "From now on, we'll continue using high technology; during the day, as soon as we spot them advancing, we can call in the rear's Qiang Five..."

"Good!"

"Good!"

On the opposing side, the headquarters of the Second Military Region.

Translation: "Opposing side, Second Military Region, Headquarters."

Lai Weimi patiently took the report, glanced at it briefly, then set it on the table.

Translation: "Li Weimi endured, took the report, glanced at it briefly, then placed it on the table."

"The enemy's bombers dropped bombs that destroyed Old Mountain's fortifications? Impossible, absolutely impossible! Even the air-burst incendiary bombs the Americans used in the Vietnam War couldn't destroy such fortifications; those people to the north definitely lack this capability."

"Night combat, yet it's as if it were daytime, as if they could see us completely? That's even more nonsense! Such a report needn't be sent up; even just here, I can't bear to read it."

"Night combat, yet it's as if it were daytime, as if they could see us completely? That's even more nonsense! Such a report needn't be sent up; even just here, I can't bear to read it."

Pa!

Pa!

Lai Weimi's steel pen dropped to the floor.

Translation: "Li Weimi's steel pen fell to the ground."

After a moment, he took up the report with trembling hands, intending to bring it back; this defeat wasn't due to his command error, but entirely because the enemy used high technology.

Translation: "After a moment, he took up the report with his trembling hand, intending to bring it back; this failure was not his command error, entirely due to the enemy's high technology!"

It's not that we're incompetent; the enemy is simply too strong.

Translation: "Not our incompetence, but the enemy is too strong!"

To the east: the capital, the Princess Tomb, the Yellow Tower.

Translation: "East, Capital, Princess Tomb, Yellow Tower."

"Mr. James, is there something you need?"

Translation: "\"Mr. James, do you have any business? \""

The military exercise ended and those people left; now James is coming over—could he also want to buy equipment from us? If so, our BeiDou navigation would spread worldwide.

Translation: "The military exercise ended, those people left; this James has come over—could he also want to buy equipment from us? If so, our Beidou navigation would spread worldwide!"

"That's right; we've noticed your series of offensives on the southern battlefield." James said, pulling out a few photos: "We've discovered that you can actually bore through the monkeys' strong fortifications—do you have some powerful earth-penetrating bombs?"

Translation: "\"That's right; we've noticed your series of offensives on the southern battlefield. \" James said, pulling out several photos: \"We discovered that you can actually bore through the monkeys' sturdy fortifications; do you have any powerful earth-penetrating bombs on hand? \""

"What is this? I don't know—this... seems to have happened, but it wasn't us; it was the monkeys' ammunition depot exploding. You're overestimating us."

Translation: "\"What is that? I don't know; this... seems to have happened, but it wasn't us who did it—it was an explosion in the monkeys' ammunition depot; you're overestimating us. \""

Just kidding—this kind of big killer can only be used internally; we absolutely cannot export the technology, otherwise even our own air raid shelters wouldn't be safe; we'd have to dig them deeper.

Translation: "Just kidding—this kind of mega-weapon can only be used by ourselves, absolutely cannot export the technology; otherwise... even our own air-raid shelters wouldn't be safe, we'd have to dig them deeper!"

As long as you are willing to hand over this technology to us, we are willing to give you three F-16 fighter jets! You have already obtained the Wild Wind and Mirage 2000, in fact, the performance of those aircraft simply cannot compare to our F-16!
