During the War of Resistance Against Japan: After being scattered at Cangyunling, he brought back a

The entire carriage was packed with people!

There are four large characters written on the far left of the box!

"penicillin?"

"Company commander! This is penicillin!"

"It's all penicillin?"

"Company commander! We've struck it rich!"

P.S.: I'm back home from the company's annual meeting these past two days, now back to my crazy update mode.

Chapter Sixteen: Massive Amounts of Supplies and Equipment! We'll Devour That Damn Sakata Regiment!

Immediately afterwards, Xie Jinyuan quickly walked toward the second large truck!

Suddenly, it was ripped open!

Unlike the first vehicle, this one was full of weapons and equipment, all of them Type 99 rifles, including several Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns, and the rest were all bullets, which filled the bottom of the vehicle!

The third vehicle is an artillery piece!

At the very front are grenade launchers, and behind them are 75mm artillery!

There are also two 105mm large-caliber cannons at the very back!

The rest were all cannonballs!

"Company commander!"

"Look what this is!"

Just as everyone was staring dumbfounded at the heavy equipment inside the two large trucks that followed!

Tiger's voice suddenly rang out from beside the last truck!

When everyone arrived, they discovered that unlike the other vehicles, this one did not contain supplies or military equipment!

"Company commander! What's this?"

Wang Chengzhu looked puzzled.

It's a square, black metal lump covered in buttons!

"Company Commander Xie! This should be a radio!"

Zhou Weiguo, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up.

He had studied abroad, so he naturally understood this stuff. However, since it was stored alongside weapons, equipment, and supplies...

"Ok!"

"However, you're wrong about one thing!"

After looking him up and down, Xie Jinyuan spoke.

"Company Commander Xie! This..."

"This is indeed a radio station, but it's a complete set of radios!"

After instructing two soldiers to move all the radios out of the carriage, they placed them on the ground.

One!

two!

three!

……

twelve!

There are twelve in total, and the one at the very front is slightly different from the others!

"A complete radio set?"

"Company Commander Xie, what do you mean?" Zhou Weiguo was the first to react.

Radios are a rare commodity, scarce throughout China. Most messages are sent to the division or brigade level, while regimental-level units at most have telephone lines!

But once a fight breaks out over telephone lines, they'll definitely be the first thing to be cut!

As for units below the regimental level, communication is mostly done by manpower!

This is enough to demonstrate the importance of radio!

But according to Company Commander Xie, this is a radio set?

"That's right!"

“It’s exactly what you think!” Xie Jinyuan nodded.

"Company Commander! What does this mean?"

Seeing the two of them speaking in riddles, everyone became anxious.

"It's actually easy to understand. If it's just a single radio station, it won't serve any purpose!"

"See that larger container over there?"

"This is called the mother station, or in simpler terms, the core. It can connect with all other radio stations!"

"As long as it's within a reasonable range, it's fine!" Xie Jinyuan explained briefly.

"Company Commander! So, what do you mean?"

"Can we develop our own command system now?"

As soon as Wang Chengzhu finished speaking, everyone swallowed hard in disbelief.

If you didn't understand the value of this thing before, you understand it completely now!

The entire Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi only used one radio station, right?

And now they have a complete radio station?

"not that simple!"

"We have the equipment, but we don't have the manpower!"

"Besides, we don't need it right now!" Xie Jinyuan interrupted, waving his hand.

Of all the supplies and equipment, he felt that the radios were the most valuable, since he didn't lack weapons and equipment!

But the new Third Company is too small and can't be used at all!

However, once it is put into use, it will be of great help to the command system.

As we all know, opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting, and what is needed is precise combat orders!

The command system built around these dozen or so radio stations will become the most formidable weapon of the new Third Company!

"Too!"

After hearing what Xie Jinyuan said, everyone calmed down!

A force of a hundred or so men using a radio? That's utter nonsense!

"This batch of goods is very unusual!"

"Five hundred li!"

"Notify logistics to take inventory of the supplies, and also the horses!"

"The rest of you, assemble at command post in five minutes!"

After a moment of contemplation, Xie Jinyuan gave the order directly.

"Yes! Company commander!"

……

The headquarters of the newly formed 3rd Company of the POW camp!

The place was already packed with people, apart from familiar faces like Wu Baili, Wang Chengzhu, Wang Gensheng, and Yang Liansheng!

Also, there's Zhou Weiguo and his deputy, Sun Min!

After pulling back the curtain, Xie Jinyuan walked straight to the table in the middle!

"Company commander!"

"Company commander!"

"Company commander!"

Everyone stood up and spoke.

"Thank you, Company Commander!"

Zhou Weiguo also stood up and bowed.

"Everyone sit down!"

Xie Jinyuan looked around and then waved his hand.
