My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 86 Walkie-talkies and communications!

"Correct."

The Japanese staff officer who reported the report emphasized:
"Start from Shangcun and go all the way to Yangcun."

"And the construction specifications are the same as those of roads, and it can pass two horse-drawn carts at the same time."

"Same as the highway."

"Start from Shangcun and go all the way to Yangcun."

Shandao old devil suddenly frowned deeply.

Tubal Road organizes manpower to build the road, which is nothing.

The Eighth Route Army is also an army, with more than 10,000 people. It occupies a large territory, has a large population under its command, and has transportation needs. It is normal to widen the Shanma Road to become a highway.

but,

The construction must meet the highway specifications and be able to accommodate two horse-drawn carts, which means that the Imperial Army's cars and even armored vehicles can be used. This is also the minimum requirement for the Imperial Army's road construction.

This is not normal.

Does Tubal Road need such a wide mountain horse trail?

Moreover, the scale of 1 people is too large, and they even use food as wages.

Where did they get so much food?
Even more incredible.

The highway starts from Shangcun and goes directly to Yangcun.

The Locust Army's plan was to build a road from Xiazhuang to Shangcun and build a stronghold in Shangcun. However, it has been delayed because three squadrons were annihilated.

Isn’t this building roads for the locust army?

Could it be that Tubalu thought that with their little strength, they could really stop the locust army?
Do you think that by annihilating a few squadrons, you can stop the attack of a large group or even a regiment of the empire?
"Telegram to Taiyuan headquarters."

Captain Shandao immediately ordered.

This was no longer a decision he could make as a captain.

Not even the brigade department.

"Hi!"

The staff officer immediately ran to the telegraph room.

···
At the same time, at the independent regiment headquarters, an iron box roughly the size of an ammunition box was placed on the table. The box had rucksack straps and a cotton lining on one side. It could obviously be carried by a single soldier.

A long antenna protruded from the iron box.

A wire extends from the iron box and ends in a headset. Another wire extends from the earphone and is connected to a ring-shaped throat talker.

Yes, there was a man-packed walkie-talkie on the table at this time.

After passing the material consumption assessment in May, Li Yunlong immediately redeemed this new walkie-talkie that had just appeared on the list.

A soldier opened the iron box and exposed a ring of knobs. After a while of manipulation, he handed the earphones and throat intercom to Li Yunlong:

"Hello··"

Putting on headphones and a throat intercom, Li Yunlong shouted at the top of his voice:
"This is the Yangcun Independent Regiment Headquarters."

"Please answer."

"Please answer."

Inside the regiment headquarters, several battalion commanders, regimental staff officers, and Zhao Gang all held their breaths and waited quietly for the voice in the receiver.

Boom »
Suddenly, there was a burst of thunder, but inside the regiment headquarters, it was still quiet, without a single sound.

Not long after, along with a burst of noisy electronic sounds, a voice came from the ears:
"This is the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment."

"This is the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment, currently located at the Shangcun Station."

"Please give the order from the regiment headquarters."

"Wow..."

An obviously noisy voice came from the receiver, causing an uproar in the regiment.

Everyone then looked out the window.

Boom!

At this time, another bolt of lightning flashed, followed closely by another crackling thunder, and then, the first heavy rain in May fell.

The earth in Jinzhong has been full of nectar for a long time, which means there will be a good harvest this year.

"nice one!"

"nice one!"

Hearing the voice, even Li Yunlong couldn't help but say good things over and over again to vent his excitement.

"nice one!"

The rest of the people also shouted.

Now there is lightning and thunder outside the window, and heavy rain pours. According to the written word, the weather conditions are severe.

Yangcun is on the side of Shangcun where the Third Battalion is stationed, and the straight-line distance is about eight kilometers.

Under such circumstances, the newly acquired backpack walkie-talkie can still transmit sound, and the sound quality is relatively clear. Although it is fuzzy and noisy, it can definitely be understood.

Even everyone in the regiment can hear it clearly.

what does this mean?
During the counter-mopping up in Yunling, why did the independent regiment commanded by Kong Jie suddenly encounter the main force of the Bantian Regiment?
Did the troops not discover it in advance?

No.

After the war, it was concluded that seven hours before the encounter between the two sides, a small unit of the 57th Regiment discovered the location of the Sakata Regiment and reported it to the regiment headquarters immediately.

But when the news arrived at the 57th Regiment Headquarters from a small group of troops, and then to the Brigade Headquarters, it was already ten hours later.

There was no way. At that time, the troops were moving rapidly, and the locations of each regiment and brigade headquarters were not clear. There was only a rough route, and the communications troops could only slowly explore it.

Ten hours later, the news reached the brigade headquarters that the independent regiment had been severely damaged and political commissar Li Wenying had also died.

So what's the problem?
In fact, at that time, the 57th Regiment was only [-] kilometers away from the brigade headquarters, and the brigade headquarters was only [-] kilometers away from the independent regiment.

If the army could have had this at that time, it would have been a backpack-type frequency hopping walkie-talkie with a total weight of 12.5 kilograms including carrying gear and rain cover, a maximum communication distance of 35 kilometers, 24 kilometers in bad weather, a battery life of [-] hours, and a replaceable battery.

Will the independent group be severely damaged?
Will political commissar Li Wenying still die?

will not.

Absolutely not.

The independent regiment that got the news could easily avoid the Bantian Alliance, or even stumble the Bantian Alliance and create a small ambush.

Several old staff officers who had been in the Independent Regiment during Li Wenying's time even shed tears.

The counter-mopping up in Yunling was the source of the tragic losses of the Independent Regiment.It's communication!

Extremely poor communication.

If the army could have such a walkie-talkie with hundreds of channels at that time, the 57th Regiment could directly issue warnings to the independent regiment and all troops in the brigade to remind the Sakata Wing's position.

"Deploy men from all platoons immediately."

Li Yunlong stood up directly and ordered:
"One person from each platoon, plus the deputy platoon leader, will come for training."

"Including the transportation battalion, we also need to send people over."

"Each platoon, including the cook platoon, is equipped with a walkie-talkie."

"Popular to the platoon?"

Zhao Gang frowned:
"Will it cause communication confusion?"

The independent regiment currently has one hundred platoons.

The number of radio stations is definitely a problem, Brother Lu can definitely provide it.

The channel capacity of the new walkie-talkies is no problem. Let alone [-] units, even [-] units will not cause interference to calls.

It can be extended to every class.

The only problem is that if all [-] platoons of the independent regiment are equipped with walkie-talkies, it will be able to communicate at the four levels of platoon, company, battalion and regiment, which sounds like a great thing.

But this also means that there will be a hundred sources of information that can go directly to the regiment headquarters.

One hundred information sources means that during battle, the independent regiment headquarters needs to be equipped with more than five walkie-talkies to receive information, and arrange a large number of staff to process this intelligence information.

The current independent regiment-based staff system simply does not have the ability to handle so much information.

On the contrary, it will cause information confusion.

"Just stipulate liaison at all levels first."

Li Yunlong already had a solution.

It is a good thing that the regiment headquarters has direct access to the company platoon, which means that the regiment headquarters can control almost every battlefield, but it will also generate a lot of meaningless intelligence and news. At present, the independent regiment headquarters does not have the ability to delete so much information.

Not enough staff.

but it does not matter.

First, report level by level, let the company and battalion filter the information, and then report the key information to the regiment headquarters.

In addition, the independent regiment will continue to expand the staff size and improve the information analysis and processing capabilities of the regiment headquarters, so that one day, it can directly connect with every platoon and understand the situation on every battlefield.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong felt hot inside.

The regiment headquarters can control each platoon and clearly obtain what each platoon sees and hears, and then adds the strong and light firepower of the independent regiment.

This is the real weaponry that can fully unleash the power of interleaved tactics.

"Yes!"

Chief of Staff Zhang Dabiao immediately went to make arrangements.

···
"Build roads."

"1 people scale."

Taiyuan.

Yoshio Shinozuka received a telegram from the Yamashima Regiment.

"interesting."

After reading the telegram, Yoshio Shinozuka put it down, said something interesting, and called a staff officer:
"Go and ask Colonel Sakashita Hokuma to come over."

"Hi!"

The staff immediately went to notify the commander of the aviation wing affiliated to the First Army, Colonel Hokum Saakashita.

"General."

The First Army Airport was quite far away from the First Army Headquarters. After more than 30 minutes, fortunately, Hokuma Sakashita was near the headquarters, so we arrived at the headquarters quickly.

"Send a reconnaissance plane to detect the movements of the Eighth Route Army in the Taiyue Mountains, focusing on the surrounding area of ​​Shangcun."

Yoshio Shinozuka gave the order.

There is no doubt that Tubal Road has obtained a large amount of food supplies, weapons and ammunition.

And the scale numbers don’t laugh.

But the exact number is still unclear.

The known information is that it mainly appears in the Taiyue Mountain District, and the most unstable security situation recently is also in the Taiyue Mountain District, so Shinozuka Yoshio simply dispatched a reconnaissance plane to conduct detailed and intensive photographic reconnaissance in the Taiyue Mountain Area.

Although the headquarters also has 20 tons of grain, it has more people, a larger shop, and greater consumption. In addition, it has stored part of it and exchanged a large amount of grain for finance.

The grain flowing out is far less obvious than in the Taiyue Mountain area, and it has not been noticed by the Japanese yet.

"Hi."

Sakashita Hokuma bowed his head in response.

After Sakashita Hokuma left, Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the map of Jinzhong at the headquarters for a long time before issuing some other orders to the staff:
"Order, the No. 20 Ninth Brigade will deploy one and a half infantry brigade as a mobile unit to prepare to support the Shandao Regiment."

"Order the Logistics Department to prepare a full brigade of combat supplies and head to Yu County along with the reinforcements of the No. 20 Ninth Brigade."

Although the investigation information has not yet come out, Yoshio Shinozuka has already decided on a battle plan.

Deploy an infantry brigade and a half (more than 29 people) from the 600th Brigade to reinforce the Shandao Regiment, and then ask the Shandao Regiment to send a regular infantry brigade (800 people) to open the road from Xiazhuang to Shangcun, and encircle and suppress the entrenched Shangcun. Tuba Road.

"Hi."

The First Army Staff Department immediately began to organize troops and convey orders.

···
The next evening.

Yangquan.

Nankou Lane, Yaoji Soy Sauce Shop.

"There is new information."

Shen Sheng walked into the soy sauce shop and handed the latest information to shopkeeper Yao Ji.

"The Japanese are planning to send out a large group, and they are suspected of preparing to reinforce the Shandao Regiment."

"There are still a large number of civilians being recruited? It is suspected that they are preparing to form a transportation team."

Looking at the latest information, shopkeeper Yao Ji looked solemnly.

Although the Japs kept secrets at all levels, as their funds increased, their intelligence capabilities were also brought into play. They quickly learned about the Japs' sporadic movements, and then through analysis, they came up with some intelligence.
