Three days after the National Army occupied Xuchang, under the double-sided attack of the National Army's southward detachment and the Third Army Corps, the Northwestern Army's defense line in the Linying area completely collapsed. Most of the main force was wiped out, and only a few troops escaped.
The National Army Headquarters energized the entire army and commended Commander Qian for planning and commanding this great victory. He was also appointed commander-in-chief of the Southern Front Group, which was composed of the Southern Front Detachment and the Third Army.
, Commander He, the commander of the Third Army Corps, who was dissatisfied with Commander Qian, had to adapt to the situation and obey orders.
※※※
The time has come to August 16, 1930. In a large courtyard in Chengbeizhuang, 10 miles outside of Xuchang, Zhou Wen, Gao Xiaoshan and Hongxiu were sitting around Zhou Yongbin, watching him tinker with a piece of paint whose surface was mottled.
Old and worn-out equipment.
The four components take up a whole long, thick table, and a long antenna protrudes from the back of the main unit. Anyone who knows the product will know that this is a radio station at a glance.
After Zhou Yongbin and Hong Xiu basically recovered from their injuries, Zhou Wen felt that it was inconvenient to be stationed in the city, so he applied to be stationed outside the city.
Chief Qian's prestige in the army has skyrocketed. It is when he is satisfied with his power, so he naturally agrees to this small request. Moreover, he also understands his little brother's little thoughts. In the name of guarding the logistics base,
Directly dispatch their transport team to the logistics department in Chengbeizhuang.
Zhou Wen and the others all arrived at the Logistics Department three days ago. Zhou Wen was happy when he saw the person greeting him. He was an old acquaintance. It was Ai Xiqi, the former logistics director of the Eastern Route Army. He thought that it would be easier now. An acquaintance met.
Naturally, he greeted him warmly. Inadvertently, 10 small yellow croakers slipped into Director Ai's jacket pocket along Zhou Wen's hand.
As a result, the best compound became the transportation team's station, and all kinds of supplies and ammunition were flown in. People were sent outside Zhuangzi to help prepare a training ground. Under Director Ai's meticulous care, the transportation team once again enjoyed endless
No scruples, a life of training with bullets flying like rain.
You can use machine guns, rifles, submachine guns, and pistols at will. Shoot shells and grenades at will. Meat, vegetables, and white flour can be made with all your heart.
Think about it, how much logistical supplies will be needed to supply an army of 100,000? Even if dozens of Zhou Wen and others fire guns and artillery day and night until they die of exhaustion, and eat meat and eat until they die of exhaustion, how much consumption will there be? As long as Director Ai uses
One scratch on the gold nib of his new Parker pen was all lost in transportation.
Today was a good day. Zhou Yongbin used several old-fashioned radio stations that Zhou Wen had brought over yesterday that were already covered with dust in the warehouse. He dismantled them and repaired them, and assembled a working one in just one day.
Zhou Yongbin stopped, stretched out his hand to rub his eyes, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, this one can be used. It's just that the battery power is insufficient. This is a wet battery. It needs to be charged by a hand-cranked generator. It is best to have two sets of batteries."
Backup." Zhou Wen was completely convinced now. Zhou Yongbin was indeed a radio expert and had found a treasure.
Zhou Wen said happily: "Brother Zhou, thank you for your hard work. Your injury is not healed yet, so go and rest first. We will discuss what to do next tonight."
After Zhou Yongbin left, Zhou Wen looked at Gao Xiaoshan and said: "Brother Shanzi, our mercenary group will face various complex situations in the future, and radio is indispensable. We have intercoms for short-distance communication, and radio for long-distance communication."
I want all the brothers to learn to send and receive newspapers, and it would be even better if they could learn to repair them. We have Brother Zhou as an expert to guide and teach, so it shouldn’t be difficult."
Gao Xiaoshan has been influenced by Zhou Wen for such a long time, and his vision and thinking are no longer the same as before. Of course he knows the importance of communication. He nodded in agreement: "I think so too, so many of us learn in batches, I
Just in the first batch.”
At this time, a weak voice sounded: "Brother, I want to learn too, and I want to be among the first." It turned out that Hongxiu was unwilling to be lonely. Since her body basically recovered, Hongxiu has been stained with Zhou Wen, like a little tail
He follows her from morning to night. Zhou Wen feels sorry for this girl who has just experienced the pain of losing her mother and has been tortured herself, and he is willing to take her with him wherever he goes. At present, her body has not fully recovered, and Zhou Wen is reluctant to let her participate in training.
.
Zhou Wen smiled fondly and said: "Okay - okay, our Hongxiu family is also learning, and we are also the first batch. But my brother has a request. For the first batch of ten people, your academic performance must be among the top three, and you must be able to do it.
?"
"Make sure to complete the task." Hong Xiu straightened his body and said. Then he waved his thin arms to cheer himself up and loudly said: "Hong Xiu will definitely get the first place and defeat Brother Shanzi."
Zhou Wen and Gao Xiaoshan looked at each other and laughed loudly. Zhou Wen joked: "Brother Shan Zi, we have to work hard, don't really lose to this little girl."
After finishing joking, Zhou Wen said seriously: "Brother Zhou is a high-end talent and cannot be exposed easily. In order to protect him, we cannot call him by his name in the future. We have to give him a nickname, which is a code name. Not only him, but also the future
We have to do a lot of things, and it is inevitable that we will fight and kill. We may make many enemies, and we cannot let others find out easily. We all need to have nicknames. Brother Shanzi, please help me think about this, and we will talk about it then.
Discuss and discuss.”
After saying that, Zhou Wen squatted down, and Hong Xiu lay on his back naturally. Zhou Wen carried Hong Xiu on his back and went to the logistics department to ask Ai Xiqi for the battery.
Ai Xiqi was used to seeing Zhou Wen carrying Hong Xiu on his back, and knowing the status of this little girl in Zhou Wen's heart, after entering the office, he conjured up a few foreign candies with beautiful packaging and handed them to Hong Xiu.
Zhou Wen explained his intention with a smile. Aixiqi agreed without asking the reason. It turned out that the National Army now has a good relationship with Germany. It not only invited German instructors to help train the army, but also purchased a large number of German equipment. Among them were
The latest model of German military radio. This is a high-end product. If nothing else, just looking at the size and weight, it is completely different from the Maozi radios equipped before.
A radio is packed in an iron box with straps. It weighs more than ten kilograms and can be carried by a soldier while marching. When needed, open the box and it can be put into working condition in less than a minute.
In the past, Maozi's radio was divided into four components, with a total weight of nearly 40 kilograms. It required four soldiers to carry it. It took more than five minutes to prepare for work.
So now the National Army has replaced them with German radio stations in large numbers, and there should not be too many Maozi radio stations that have been eliminated. Not only did Aixiqi provide batteries and hand-operated generators, but also an extra working Maozi radio station. Anyway, they are all
Those who want to be eliminated are given to ** agencies. It would be a fool not to give away this free favor. With a stroke of Director Ai's pen, a radio station that was marked as scrapped on the brochure fell into Zhou Wen's hands.
