Chapter 297 Intercontinental Radio Stations and Military Communications Network

Huang He himself absolutely agrees with the decision of the organization to appoint Zhu Zhengwei as the first president of the Eighth Route Army Artillery Academy.

If he were put into a 7+ coloring game, he would definitely be an artillery genius-level commander. Looking at the entire Eighth Route Army, there is no comrade more professional than him.

He is the best candidate for the president.

For a period of time, everyone present made their own suggestions on the details of the school construction, and even Huang He expressed some ideas about the future self-propelled rocket artillery unit.

An hour later, the meeting officially ended.

Since Huang He had other work arrangements today, he said hello to the big guys and hurriedly ran towards the parking lot.

"Director Huang, thank you very much for inviting me to test the artillery."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the opportunity to return to my favorite old job. After the teaching building of our Eighth Route Army Artillery Academy is repaired, you must come to attend the first opening ceremony."

Looking at Principal Zhu who chased out of the office, Huang He nodded with a smile.

Considering the current importance and contribution of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau, it is quite normal for the other party to invite him, not to mention that there is a personal relationship between the two.

Ever since he had the experience of Border Aviation School and Heshan University, Huang He was very keen to sit in the second row or even the first row to take pictures.

As a time traveler, who can resist the temptation of leaving a name in history?

"Principal Zhu, we are all comrades, so there is no need to say more polite words."

"I will stay in Taiyuan in the near future. Just let me know when the time is set. I will definitely go to the opening ceremony with the deputy commander-in-chief and others."

"If everything goes well, the first batch of self-propelled rocket launchers should also be delivered at that time. At that time, I will send someone to bring the teaching aids over."

With a positive answer, Principal Zhu held Huang He's right hand tightly, and then saluted.

"Okay! Then you hurry up and get busy! See you another day!"

······

Ten minutes later, Huang He drove to the communication department of the Eighth Route Army.

The projects unlocked by the last batch of research slots include the previously mentioned "Paratrooper Type III", "Brand Mle 1935 120mm Mortar" and "Schneider 37mm Anti-aircraft Gun".

There are also "Improved Oil Processing" in the Industrial Technology Branch and "Military Radio" in the Radar Technology Branch.

The former is naturally to further develop the Yanchang Oil Plant in the border area, so as to continuously supply the troops with fuel of various grades.

At this stage, the Eighth Route Army has two major oil consumers, among which the biggest appetite is naturally the fighter jets of the Air Force 1st Division. Without oil, they cannot seize air supremacy in North China.

The other major oil consumer is, of course, the transport vehicles seized from the North China Front Army.

At this point in 1941, a normal Type B division of the Japanese Army had more than 237 vehicles of various models.

After the three main forces defeated the First Army and recaptured Shanxi, they found a lot of good things on the battlefield and in some warehouses. If all the vehicles were concentrated, they could even barely form a motorized brigade.

In addition, a lot of transport vehicles were deployed in the recent major infrastructure construction operations, which almost used up the assets accumulated by the three major bases in the first half of this year.

Although the civilian factories in the 18 systems can exchange for enough fuel, this will delay the progress of work in other areas.

Being able to upgrade and increase the output of the Yanchang Oil Plant is definitely a good thing once and for all.

The latter is also very important. After all, modern armies cannot do without communication equipment.

"Military radio: The application of professional radio equipment can improve the ability of troops to cooperate in combat and help commanders to achieve large-scale mobile operations more effectively.

Excellent transmitters and receivers can maintain a communication range of tens of kilometers even under enemy interference.

An ultra-high-power radio station can even communicate with friendly forces across continents and grasp the latest and hottest international news in real time.

Research time required: 70 days

Effect: Military factories in the system can produce various types of radio equipment and parts, provide corresponding scientific and technological information and the right of civilian factories to exchange raw materials."

Logically speaking, the priority of radio-related technologies is not low, and Huang He should unlock it earlier with the research slot.

However, before August 14, 1939, the Eighth Route Army lacked countless things, and the most urgent thing at that time was to solve the problem of light and heavy weapons for the infantry.

Moreover, the support equipment includes portable communicators, which can be used with field telephones and some radio stations, so the "military radio" has been delayed until today.

With the products provided by the Awakening Brave Tiger system, the Eighth Route Army's communication means have been upgraded several levels.

Now military factories can produce radio stations with various antenna models, power supply methods, communication distances, frequency bands, and output power, directly covering the communication equipment needed from the platoon level to the military region level.

As long as the two sides can reach an agreement, the border area can even directly establish contact with the Free French headquarters in North Africa or on the Thames.

In Huang He's memory, the border area's intercontinental communication means can only be unlocked after 1944. With the high-power radio station with Lord Ying's hand, the big guys can contact the members of the Allies.

Now that the "military radio" has been unlocked, the troops can enjoy communication equipment with better confidentiality and security in advance.

Thinking of this, Huang He sighed with some regret.

"Oh, what a pity!"

"This is a good deal for the time traveler, as he has taken over all the work that was originally his. The radio technology provided by the system is at the world's top level even if it is not updated within ten years."

"I am afraid of my brother's suffering and my brother's failure."

After finishing his complaints, Huang He adjusted his expression and got out of the car and walked towards the Communications Department.

"Director Huang!"

"Comrades are in the conference room now, you can just go there directly."

Recently, Huang He has been running between the headquarters and the Communications Department under the order of the deputy commander-in-chief, and he has long been familiar with the guards at the door.

After learning the destination, he said hello to the soldiers and walked towards the compound not far away.

As soon as he entered the door, a map of the entire Shanxi Province hanging on the wall came into view.

Except for the southern part of Shanxi, every city and some large villages on the map are connected by straight lines, which looks like a huge spider web from a distance.

"Old Huang, you are finally here."

"Come and see, the communication network you mentioned before is 90% complete."

"Now the troops at all levels have established connections. If the headquarters needs it, we can even contact the platoon level of the basic regiment. Any disturbance will not escape our eyes."

Hearing this, Huang He immediately trotted to the wall.

Looking at the dense straight lines on the map, his face showed a sense of accomplishment.

Now that the troops have recovered an entire province, they have become a thorn in the eyes of the North China Front Army.

When the hard power between the enemy and us is not much different, whichever side can grasp the intelligence and the enemy's troop movements can seize the initiative in the war.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese attached great importance to the communication configuration between the troops, and radio stations or telephone lines were distributed between each artillery tower and the county town.

Once a point was attacked, the nearby defenders would rush to support it as soon as possible.

It was precisely because of the communication means and mobility that the enemy dared to distribute the not-so-many troops in various county towns.

When the Japanese invaders swept the base area, as long as they were larger than a squadron, they would pull telephone lines along the way to maintain communication with each other.

This is why the three main forces of the Eighth Route Army wanted to destroy the enemy's communication lines in the first phase of the Hundred Regiments Campaign. After all, the troops were not yet fully grown at that time, and they had to try their best to avoid head-on battles with the enemy.

It is precisely because of the above situation that there are a large number of telephones and telephone lines seized from the Japanese invaders in the warehouses of troops at all levels.

The next stage of the headquarters' goal is to recover the Suiyuan area.

Considering that the 129th Division and the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region may face strong enemies in the direction of Hebei and Chahar at any time. Huang He took the initiative to take the lead and worked with the headquarters' communications department to formulate a plan to establish a communication network for the entire army.

In Shanxi, comrades used galvanized iron wire to secretly set up on the mountain ridge, and there would be special personnel to maintain it every once in a while.

In general, the enemy would hold an officer meeting before mobilizing troops on a large scale, and also convey news to the puppet army leaders. The more people who handle the order, the greater the chance of leaks.

At this moment, the benefits of local operations can be best reflected. After all, it is impossible for the enemy to avoid all eyes. The masses are the foundation of a war.

In this way, the front-line military and civilians can report the dynamics of the Japanese army collected from various places to their superiors in a timely manner through the nearby communication network, so that the troops can closely grasp the enemy's troop deployment and transportation.

This is equivalent to playing an RTS game, where one's own home is always in the fog of war, and the enemy will pay a bloody price if they want to find out any news.

But the devils were opened up, and every move was under the eyes of the Eighth Route Army.

Times have changed. Now we use communication capabilities and mobility to fight. Let's take a look at the terrifying bombing of the First Air Division.

After a moment, Huang He moved his eyes to Minister Chen of the Communications Department and said mysteriously:

"Old Chen, guess what good news I brought you today."

As soon as this was said, the entire combat meeting room became silent, and all comrades cast expectant eyes.

Two years ago, Huang He trekked back to the base area.

In the early days, no one except Zhang Wanhe knew how capable he was.

As the troops were equipped with a variety of new weapons, everyone knew that there was a tough guy in the top leadership who had the final say.

When Huang He first came to the Communications Department to help two weeks ago, Minister Chen asked him for a batch of radios.

In fact, the comrades in the Communications Department were just trying it out. After all, every radio in the army was hard-won, and strategic equipment was not easy to get.

Who would have thought that the surprise would come so quickly, and there was a reply in just two weeks.

"Oh my God, did you get a batch of radios?"

"Don't keep me in suspense, tell me how many you got, and are there any high-power models that can contact the border areas!"

"Is it a one-time deal? Or will there be a stable supply channel in the future?"

Facing the ecstatic Minister Chen, Huang He got straight to the point without any hesitation.

"How many? Old Chen, are you looking down on me?"

"To tell you the truth, radios will no longer be a scarce commodity in our Eighth Route Army. We will have as many products of various powers and models as you want."

"As long as there is enough time, your Communications Department can even become a supplier to the whole world. You can kill any force that dares to compete with us with a price war."

After the words were spoken, the entire combat meeting room was silent for a few seconds, and then a deafening cheer broke out.

The importance of radio stations to a unit is self-evident. If all levels of units can be equipped with radio stations, the combat effectiveness and coordination of the entire army will be improved to a higher level.

As if they thought of something, the comrades soon frowned.

Now the Communications Department sends telegrams in Chinese characters, and needs to memorize more than thousands of groups of four-digit codes. It takes a lot of time to train a familiar reporter, and it depends on the other party's talent.

In addition, in order to improve confidentiality, the code compilation of the Eighth Route Army is very complicated, which adds a little difficulty to the training work.

According to Huang He's words, the troops will inevitably be equipped with a large number of radio stations in the future, and it is not impossible to even delegate them to the first level.

That means that everyone present must start to take apprentices, otherwise there will be an embarrassing situation of waiting for equipment.

Thinking of this, Minister Chen showed a happy and bitter smile.

"Old Huang, I have thoroughly appreciated your ability today."

"But what Director Zeng and Zhang Wanhe said is absolutely right. Your ability to be a hands-off manager is as good as your ability to get supplies."

"It is estimated that our communications department will not have a good few days in the future. It seems that I have to borrow some people from the communication school in the border area."

In the current era, those who can play with radio are technical talents.

Among the three main forces, the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region has a relatively better foundation.

After all, Lord Ying is close to the base and established contact with the Eighth Route Army as early as three years ago. He often takes the train to Baoding and then rides a bicycle directly to Commander Yang's Jizhong First Division.

On weekdays, he also helps the troops transport Western medicine and radio parts. Whenever he has time, he will come to the base to tinker with the radio by hand, and even teach radio engineering knowledge.

With the help of the Lord, the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region has a group of comrades with a good foundation. With a little training, they can become qualified radio operators.

Fortunately, there is a communication school in the border area, which can also help the Eighth Route Army's communications department to share a certain amount of pressure, otherwise even if Minister Chen is exhausted to death, there will not be enough people.

When Huang He mentioned the crossing, his eyes lit up and he looked like he was full of bad intentions.

"In my opinion, you should ask Lao Zeng for help. He is a soft-hearted person and has the right expertise."

"If it doesn't work, you can send a telegram to the border area to explain the situation. The superiors will definitely find a way to help, and maybe Lao Zeng will be sent to help directly."

Why is there no detailed information about the radio on the entire Internet? I searched for a long time and only found the Italian equipment list, and there was only the name and power
