Chapter 343 Radio Command
It was still before, in the office that discussed the establishment of the government in Baotou, Feng Yuxiang met Yang Yuanzhao. The office layout was not much different from before, but Feng Yuxiang's appearance at this time was a little different from before.
As the deputy commander-in-chief, it can be said that Yang Yuanzhao is just a name. The actual controller of the Baotou army has fully grasped everything in the army. It seems that there is a lot of pressure and is much thinner than before. The more troops, the more things it has to deal with, which is different from the Beiyang Army. Baotou is an army that has been established for less than three years. Many things have not been formed in a system. When it comes to management, he has to do it himself.
New represents management difficulties, but to a certain extent, does not represent countless possibilities? It is precisely because the establishment time was short, which is helpful for them to absorb updated knowledge. New trenches, artillery applications, including the use of some cannon balloons, were the first to be used in Baotou, and the effect was very good. Feng Yuxiang added countless work, but he also enjoyed it. He could almost see that the new army in Baotou was constantly expanding and becoming stronger at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.
"Why are Brother Yuanzhao here for me today?" Seeing Yang Yuanzhao, Feng Yuxiang smiled a little on his face, put down what was on hand, and took the initiative to greet him.
Before Feng Yuxiang could speak, Yang Yuanzhao said directly: "Brother Feng, I will bring you a powerful weapon!"
Feng Yuxiang raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Oh, I want to see if I get it. Is it a 203mm cannon?"
"The 203mm cannon is still under development, but I am bringing another thing!" Yang Yuanzhao's face darkened slightly, and he said with a little embarrassed look.
The 203mm cannon was also what Yang Yuanzhao said to Feng Yuxiang before. It can be one of the largest firepowers of the army. Unfortunately, that thing is too heavy. The 203mm cannon, as the main gun of a 4,500-ton cruiser, is very powerful even on naval ships. However, the power of the naval gun is a huge weight and a pipe body ratio. On the warship, it cannot be called the main gun, but above the army. It is absolutely powerful. The weight of more than 10 tons makes it possible to be more like a cannon on the land, and not follow the troops. The power has been greatly reduced. The reason why the cannon is the king of the army is that it has the advantage of firepower and on the other hand, it is its maneuverability. In the Ming Dynasty, it had a powerful red-clothed cannon. It could only passively defend the city. If there were infantry cannons from the late Qing powers, the battle situation would be different.
The 203mm artillery is a key project developed by the Institute, the Weapons Research Institute, but unfortunately the progress is slow. Yang Yuanzhao used the materials of the all-in-one machine to modify it, reducing the weight of the gun barrel and the overall weight. Such weight may become the support firepower of the heavy artillery troops in later generations. In this era, it is probably only on the railways that can withstand it.
Train cannons, a very important support firepower in later generations, first appeared during the Civil War in the United States. With its huge power and mobility, it became the king of army artillery. With the current railway network in Baotou, it seems that it can be built, but the investment is too great and has a certain impact on the railway. There is no need to make it out for the time being.
"What is it!" Yang Yuanzhao's thoughts were flying for a long time, and it was not until Feng Yuxiang asked, and he realized it. He clapped his hands and said, "Come on the things!"
Yang Yuanzhao clapped his hands, and Dahan came in with a strange box, square, almost the same as a big backpack. There was a strap in front and could be carried on both sides of his shoulders. It was all made of metal and looked very strange.
"What's this?" Feng Yuxiang asked in surprise. Yang Yuanzhao often made some incredible things, which made him dare not draw conclusions easily.
Yang Yuanzhao looked at Feng Yuxiang and said calmly: "This is a radio transceiver!"
"Radio?" Even as a soldier, Feng Yuxiang knew the biggest news in Baotou recently. Even in the military camp, there are speakers and radios, which can allow soldiers to relax, listen to news and opera at a specific time. This is the biggest entertainment time for most people in Baotou at present. When his eyes lit up, he asked a little solemnly: "It's that, the same thing as the radio!"
"That's right, that's it!" Yang Yuanzhao knew when he saw Feng Yuxiang, so he saved a lot of effort. After simply saying the effects of this, a hint of solemnity appeared on Feng Yuxiang's face.
Whether it is the past war or the present war, fighter jets are always one of the most important things. The old saying goes that foreign military orders will not be accepted, and they are talking about fighter jets. Only generals on the front line can know the changes in fighter jets and can freely grasp them. This has more or less some problems arise, especially the new army in Baotou, which is mainly the staff. Unless it is the staff on the front line, there will be problems such as unknown fighter jets or Xia Liang's orders not very consistent.
Another point is that in the front line, there are also differences between the front line and the middle. The grasp of the fighter jet. To be precise, the sense of smell on the battlefield is proud of every famous general. This is also the key to distinguishing famous generals from ordinary generals. Among some clues, find a suitable fighter jet and kill with one blow.
From the role of the radio described by Yang Yuanzhao, this radio has become the key to changing all this. The clues in the past require decisions made by inference or even gambling now have sufficient support. If this radio is popularized into the battalion, or even the commander, the commander has countless eyes, and any changes in the enemy can be summarized through the radio to the command center, or even the rear. In this way, all the situation is already clear. The party who owns can even see the other party's reality and conduct pre-requisite research based on the other party's situation, and defeat the opponent with superior forces. This strange thing is not as amazing as the 203mm cannon, to a certain extent, its role is even above the cannon.
"It's great. How many things are there? It's not difficult to learn. I want to make it popular!" Feng Yuxiang slapped the table and said immediately on the road section.
Yang Yuanzhao's purpose was to come for this, and he hurriedly said: "No problem, this radio station is not difficult, it is just to learn telegrams and translations. Some difficulties are necessary and they must be specially trained, but it will not be much more difficult than training for new recruits. However, it requires mastering certain knowledge."
After hearing Yang Yuanzhao's request for the telegrapher, Feng Yuxiang was silent. There were too few such people, and they were basically trained as key points, such as the squad leader or even the pre-selected company and platoon leader in the future. Baotou New Army is expanding and has enough experience. There is too few people studying abroad. This is a very large gap for the lower-level officers.
Like other citizens in Baotou, the army also pays attention to the education of cultural courses, especially non-commissioned officers or above. Ordinary platoon-level officers have a hard condition to master common men with more than 500 words. When they reach the company or above, they have certain staff experience and proficient in the ability to make maps and command operations. These are all hard abilities. Although Feng Yuxiang has worked hard to cultivate, the effect is not significant.
After hearing Feng Yuxiang's answer, Yang Yuanzhao was slightly surprised. It seems that these days, he has only focused on development and expansion without considering this. At the beginning, the expansion of the 54 Mixed Works Association was a complete summary. He almost got more than 500 grassroots officers from Beiyang. From the peach to the brigade, he had almost everything, and he could directly expand the foundation of a town. You must know that Beiyang has only 7 towns, and it is still uneven. Those who can be invited by Feng Yuxiang are of similar level. It is precisely because of the enough of these basic officers that the combat effectiveness of the 54 Mixed Works Association has not weakened much under the circumstances of substantial expansion.
The initial expansion laid the foundation for the new Baotou army. In the past two years, Feng Yuxiang has also been working hard, but the results are not very good. It seems that the military academy should also mention the agenda. Feng Yuxiang is a qualified general and officer, but not a qualified military instructor. Shouldn’t he continue to work hard and find the well-known ones in later generations? In the past few years, through the relationship between Germany and the United States, he has found him and also funded some funds, but the direct invitation was rejected because he still had to study in Germany and truly figure out the differences between the East and the West.
With a sigh, Yang Yuanzhao looked at Feng Yuxiang and said solemnly: "Brother Feng, you should know how effective this radio station is. Even if it is not popularized, it should be popularized into the camp. If the number of people is smaller, we will conduct a series of training in the next period of time. I believe that it will have a very good effect."
Feng Yuxiang also knew it and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I'll try to get some out. Currently, Baotou's staffing has 4 divisions, 12 regiments, and nearly 60 battalion-level staffing. Under this situation, it may be difficult to draw 200 people, and 60 people are relatively easy."
"By the way, Brother Feng, artillery training is also required. You can see the staff, as many as possible."
"Architecture!" Feng Yuxiang was stunned. He didn't understand the reason and asked in confusion: "Radio is not used for command systems, what does it have to do with artillery?
Yes, Yang Yuanzhao said calmly. Looking at Feng Yuxiang's surprised look, it is obvious that Feng Yuxiang has not seen the importance of radio to the troops. In addition to combining the troops into a whole, the rest is to improve the coordination of infantry and artillery. In the first battle, a major breakthrough is infantry and artillery coordination. Well-trained soldiers can attack the defending positions along the barrage of artillery shells. The impact is strong and the sacrifice is relatively small, which has become the main way to attack in later generations. However, such attacks are relatively dangerous to a certain extent. They have not been specially trained and are difficult to achieve. However, with the help of artillery fire support, defending the positions in a weak situation is also one aspect, and the enhancement effect is immediate. (To be continued)
