Chapter 757: Walkie-talkies
In fact, there were other minor problems found during the training, such as thickened gloves that made shooting inconvenient...... The space of the trigger guard is too narrow, and it is difficult for a gloved finger to reach into the guard.
The solution to this problem is to squeeze the guard ring to make as much space in front of the trigger as possible, and then pull the inner cotton hair on the index finger of the glove until you feel comfortable shooting.
In fact, these are not very important, because after finding problems, they can be solved very quickly, such as the problem of machine gun tripods, the problem of lubricating oil in winter, and a telegram will be sent back from the helicopter base immediately...... This may be the aftermath of Rear Admiral Lex's dismissal and his military court, and the adjutant who took over was responsive to the helicopter base and was delivered immediately.
The 1st Mountain Master received a batch of winter lube as he wished, and Christian also received a pair of snow boots as a token of appreciation.
Of course, Qin Chuan will not be missing Freco and several chief officers in the headquarters...... Bi Yi is a friendly army to coordinate, and it is still necessary to do a good job in interpersonal relations.
The most difficult thing is altitude sickness, which takes a certain amount of time to adapt to, and it will not be able to train for a while.
But it didn't take long for Qin Chuan to find that this did not seem to be very necessary, because the Soviet army concentrated the main direction of the attack on the eastern section of the Caucasus, especially near the Baku area, and the eastern section of the Caucasus has a low altitude, generally below 4,000 meters, this altitude does not add much difficulty to the soldiers who are training at an altitude of 3,000 meters, not to mention that the combat is not always at the highest peak.
To Qin Chuan's surprise, two weeks later, the first batch of 100 small walkie-talkies were sent to the mountain along with the supplies, and the shape and requirements could meet Qin Chuan's requirements...... When the battery is not installed, it weighs 5 pounds, and the battery is 8 pounds.
Compared with the miniature walkie-talkie used in modern times, it is a little heavier, but the weight is acceptable, and the 8-pound thing on the back will not have much impact.
Qin Chuan took one and looked at it, there were two antennas thick and thin at the top, one was used to send and the other was used to receive, and there was a frequency modulation knob next to it.
"Where's the switch?" The baker asked.
"No switch!" The correspondent looked at the manual and replied: "The antenna will automatically turn on when it is opened, and it will turn off when the antenna is retracted!" ”
This is a very creative design, because the antenna must be used if it is pulled apart, if the normal operation is to use two steps: turn on the switch and pull the antenna.
But every second that can be saved on the battlefield is a second, so combine these two steps into one...... It can be said that it is a design that is really considered for the battlefield.
Qin Chuan assigned it to the squad level, and then the platoon department, company department, etc., were all matched, and in the end, there were more than thirty units left as backup.
Needless to say, those guys from the 1st Mountain Division naturally looked at it with straight eyes, especially when they knew that the First Rank Corps could actually equip this new gadget to the squad level, it was even more incredible.
"God!" Christian said to Qin Chuan: "We can't even match the walkie-talkie, they are still holding the phone, but you all use this thing to work......
"Any idea why?" The baker asked rhetorically.
"Why?" Christian spread his hands: "Because of the victory?" We've won a lot of battles, though I'll admit not as many as you! ”
"No!" Werner said: "It's because it was invented by the major, understand? ”
Seeing Christian's stunned face full of disbelief, Werner emphasized: "Yes, you heard it right, Captain. This is the Major's invention, and the bazooka that you are also using, and the helicopter that delivers us bread, kerosene and ammunition every day! They were all invented by the colonel! ”
Hearing this, even Freco couldn't help but look sideways, and he couldn't help but ask Qin Chuan, "Is this true, Major?" ”
"I'm just making a suggestion, General!" Qin Chuan replied while adjusting the walkie-talkie in his hand: "Just like giving advice to our generals, I often ask those scientists some of my ideas and the needs of the front-line soldiers, so I ......"
Qin Chuan raised the walkie-talkie in his hand, and then ordered his subordinates who were ready to sit and rest: "It's time for us to go out and try this thing, lift your butts off the ground!" ”
Seeing Qin Chuan and his party open the iron gate and walk into the wind and snow outside, Major General Freko shook his head: "He is really an incredible person!" ”
"Yes, General!" Christian agreed: "The major led a well-trained unit, created one legend after another on the battlefield, and even invented those magical things...... I'm starting to get jealous of him! ”
"You're just 'getting started'?" Major Freko smiled.
If the comrades-in-arms are "jealous" of Qin Chuan, Zhukov, who commanded the battle on the other side, should be "afraid" of Qin Chuan.
Because he had already received accurate information, he knew that the First Infantry Corps or Qin Chuan was in Transcaucasia.
"I don't think they can make much of a difference!" Vasilevsky analyzed: "Because they are infantry regiments and not mountain combat units!" ”
"Who knows? Comrade Vasilevsky! Zhukov said: "I used to think the same thing, but they captured the sandbar and played a decisive role in the Battle of Stalingrad, and then even flew over our line and captured two of our generals and frustrated our counteroffensive plans!" ”
Zhukov gritted his teeth with hatred for this "legendary sergeant", and as a victorious general of the Soviet Union, he won the Battle of Nomenhan, the Battle of Moscow and the Battle of Leningrad, and almost never tasted defeat until this "legendary sergeant" appeared in his sight.
Sometimes Zhukov would say to himself: "The other party is just a major, and he is the deputy commander of the Soviet Union, but he has been repeatedly defeated by the other side......"
Zhukov didn't understand why, as if the other party knew in advance every step he took.
Could it be that there were intelligence officers from the German army?
Zhukov quickly shook his head and rejected this assumption, because if that was the case, it was not the major who was in trouble, but some general or something.
What's more, if they could get the news from the intelligence officers, there would be no need to cross the line and capture two Soviet generals.
"Comrade Zhukov!" Vasilevsky said: "Either way, we have no other choice now! ”
Zhukov nodded and ordered: "Attack!" ”
At the same time, Zhukov silently thought in his heart: I hope Vasilevsky is right, this infantry regiment will not appear in the Caucasus Mountains.
