Chapter 627: Wireless Communication
Huang Xing was in charge of government affairs, Zhou Zhongju was in charge of logistics and intelligence, and Sun Liechen, chief of staff, was in charge of troop training. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yang Xingguo could finally get rid of these things completely and put all his thoughts on the reorganization of the Liaodong Army and the future development direction of the Liaodong Army.
Although the Liaodong Army suffered a lot of losses in this battle, the Liaodong Army also gained a lot.
The various weapons seized were piled up like a mountain waiting for Yang Xingguo to deal with them.
The heavy artillery division, which suffered heavy losses in the battle, was first restored to the size and strength of the three heavy artillery regiments because of the capture of a lot of heavy artillery.
The field artillery regiments and mountain artillery battalions of all divisions and regiments were also restored to full strength.
Mortars, which have been tested on the battlefield and have been affirmed by all the people in the Liaodong Army, have also begun to be equipped with six mortars per battalion mortar company.
As for the remaining light and heavy machine guns and rifles, except for the intact light and heavy machine guns, all of which were left to replenish the troops and hoarded, the rest, together with the rifles, were piled directly in warehouses and awaited disposal.
There is no doubt that these weapons will eventually be exchanged by Yang Xingguo for silver and food urgently needed by the Liaodong Army at a suitable price.
At this time, the last line of words on the list of materials suddenly attracted Yang Xingguo's attention.
"Two mobile radios!"
"Let's go, take me to see these two stations!" Yang Xingguo's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered the deputy minister of logistics who sent the list over.
Looking at the entire Liaodong Army, there are only a handful of people who know about radio, let alone those who know the huge role of radio.
Therefore, when dealing with these two radio stations, no one in the logistics department paid attention to them.
Because the radio station is still the first generation of military radio stations, the whole set of equipment is very heavy. The two radio stations add up to seven or eight large iron boxes, as well as the wiring connecting the boxes and the boxes, all piled up in a haphazard manner, as if dealing with scrap metal.
Tyrannical Creatures! At this time, Yang Xingguo's first thought after seeing these pictures.
However, Yang Xingguo did not get angry because of this, first frowned, and then decisively ordered: "Immediately let people clear all the equipment and wiring of the two radio stations, and they must be cleaned up, and all of them must be sent to the headquarters without leakage." These two stations are good things, don't break them for me. ”
After the order was issued, Yang Xingguo hurried to the headquarters.
Just when he gave the order, Yang Xingguo suddenly thought that even if he had a radio station, there was no professional telegraph operator to connect the two radio stations and receive and receive telegrams for him.
If you can't find a qualified telegraph operator right away, even if the two radios are sent to the headquarters, they will be a pile of scrap metal, and they will have no effect.
Chief of Staff Sun Liechen, although he had not seen the wireless telegraph machine with his own eyes, he still knew about telegraphy.
Because the imperial court also laid telegraph lines in many places, even if those telegrams were still wired telegraphs.
Even so, the speed with which the telegram delivered the news shocked Sun Liechen at that time.
Hundreds or even thousands of kilometers are arduous, and it only takes a few minutes to receive a message from the other party through a telegraph. If this way of delivering messages can be used on the battlefield where time is of the essence, it is likely to determine the victory or defeat of a war.
Of course, for Sun Liechen, who was just a battalion officer at the beginning, he could just think about those ideas.
Now that Yang Xingguo suddenly found himself and asked what he knew about the telegram, Sun Liechen subconsciously thought of what he had thought.
After finishing, he said excitedly: "Commander, these two radios must be used no matter what." If possible, we will buy a few more radios to equip the troops. In this way, we can deliver the message without having to do it manually. If there is anything, send a telegram, and you can receive the news immediately even if it is a few hundred miles apart. On the battlefield, we can strike first and catch the enemy by surprise. ”
Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "You don't know the importance of telegraphy, I know it." But the point is that even if we buy enough telegraph machines to equip the troops, no one in our Liaodong Army will use them. ”
"I have seen the German telegraph set up in Liaozhong, thousands of kilometers away, a telegram is sent over, and they will immediately know every move of our Liaodong Army in China, and it is impossible to say that it is not red-eyed."
"And Germany's wireless telegraphy technology is the leading in the world, and if we want to, and can afford the money, we will be able to buy enough radio stations from the Germans. But the telegraph operator who operated the radio station thought about it for a long time but could not find a solution. ”
At this moment, Yang Xingguo suddenly realized something?
He frowned, and said thoughtfully: "Wait a minute, I seem to have overlooked something?" ”
"If we can buy a radio station from Germany, we can buy a telegraph operator from Germany. Let us not forget that we are now allies and partners with Germany. If you really can't do it, you can ask Germany to support us with a few telegraph operators and help us train some telegraph operators. ”
"I will immediately go to the German representative of our Liaodong Army, and no matter what the cost is, this time I will organize a radio communication unit."
When he was first sent to the Liaodong Army as a representative, Colonel Jim suddenly became confused about his future.
But when he slowly came into contact with the Liaodong Army and personally participated in several battles, this confusion immediately turned into expectation.
Because the Liaodong Army he saw was completely different from the Great Qing Army in his impression, and almost subverted all his impressions of the Great Qing Army.
Fortunately, in the entire Qing Dynasty, most of the army could not catch up with the Liaodong Army.
From this, Colonel Jim made a judgment that with the strength and combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army, it would never shrink to such a small place in Liaodong forever. Since then, Colonel Jim has begun to attach importance to the Liaodong Army, and it is certain that as the Liaodong Army becomes stronger and stronger in the Qing Kingdom, and its territory grows, the various benefits that Germany can obtain from the Liaodong Army will become more and more.
The Liaodong Army did not disappoint him, and even invented the mortar two or three months ago, which is both light and practical.
Although for the sake of mortar technology, Germany paid a lot of money. However, all transactions, including negotiations, are led by themselves. Therefore, he can definitely be called the greatest contributor to Germany's acquisition of mortar technology.
According to the latest information from China, the military is very satisfied with the mortars and has asked the arsenal to produce them in large quantities and equip them with troops.
And because of the introduction of mortar technology, he greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the German army, and was directly commended by the military department.
His classmates in the military department even spread the news that the German army had his name on the list of major generals promoted next year. As long as nothing else, in a few months he could become a German major general officer.
In the face of one good news after another, Jim can be said to be proud of his future during this time, full of hope for his future. (To be continued.) )
