Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Damn it, are you really that powerful? Don't team up with the two of you to cheat me!" Li Yunlong looked incredulous.

"It's the real captain." Shi Zhong said seriously.

"We have tested it when we were on the road. The communication range has reached more than 20 miles. If it is centered on the regiment headquarters, each battalion can be notified quickly! Orders can be conveyed quickly, saving time!" Sun Desheng also responded seriously.

He knew that Li Yunlong would not believe it. After all, when they first heard about it from the leader, they did not dare to believe it. It was not until they tested it themselves that they believed that this walkie-talkie was so powerful.

"Bring it to me and see what it is. It's so powerful." Although Li Yunlong believed it to some extent, he was still worried.

"Here." Shi Zhong immediately handed the bag to Li Yunlong.

After taking the bundle, Li Yunlong came to the stone table and put it down. He opened the bundle, but before he could see what was inside, Zhao Gang came over.

"Old Li, what are you doing?!" Zhao Gang walked into the yard and saw Li Yunlong and others gathered around the table. He couldn't help but ask.

"Old Zhao, you came at the right time. These two guys got this thing from the leader. Um, what is it called?!" Li Yunlong was stunned when he said the latter part and looked at Shi Zhong and asked.

"Captain, this thing is called a walkie-talkie." Shi Zhong replied quickly.

"So it's called a walkie-talkie." Li Yunlong nodded.

"What is a walkie-talkie? What is it for?!" Zhao Gang was confused and walked in and saw the black walkie-talkie in the bag.

"I heard from them that this walkie-talkie can contact people within a radius of more than 20 miles." Li Yunlong replied.

"So far?! Is this true?" Zhao Gang frowned, obviously a little bit unbelieving. After all, it was said that the range of the Japanese walkie-talkies was only one or two miles.

Moreover, the walkie-talkie in front of him is much smaller than a walkie-talkie. If it really has such a long communication range, it would be really amazing.

"How should I know? They said they have tested it and it can indeed reach this distance. I still don't quite believe it. You two teach us how to use it and I will try it." Li Yunlong urged.

He became more and more curious.

"No problem." Shi Zhong and Sun Desheng taught one each and soon taught the two how to use it.

"It's that simple?!" Li Yunlong couldn't believe it after hearing it. He only needed to adjust the frequency and get on the same channel to talk. It was too magical.

"Captain, if you don't believe it, you can try it first." Shi Zhong said.

"Well, Lao Zhao, you wait here. I'll go out and try." Li Yunlong nodded, told Zhao Gang something, then turned and left. Sun Desheng followed him, while Shi Zhong stayed in the yard with Zhao Gang.

"Is this thing really that powerful?!" Zhao Gang looked at Shi Zhong, and felt that it was unlikely. When would they be able to make such a powerful thing? !

You know, they couldn't even make the Japanese walkie-talkies, but now suddenly they have developed a walkie-talkie that is better than the Japanese ones, more convenient to carry, and has a longer communication range.

It’s not that Zhao Gang was belittling them, but they are indeed short of technology.

"Political Commissar, it's true. I'm not joking. You will know soon." Shi Zhong responded.

"Yes." Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Where did the commander get this thing? Was it made by our people?!"

"I'm not sure about that. The chief only told me the function of this thing. I didn't ask who made it. Besides, this thing is so powerful. The person who made it must have kept it secret. I don't dare to ask." Shi Zhong was a little helpless.

If he were to ask who this powerful person was, he might be interrogated as a spy, and he didn't want to be interrogated by himself.

"Yeah, I didn't think about it that much." Zhao Gang also felt that he was a little impatient and forgot all these for a moment.

Just then, the walkie-talkie in his hand rang.

"Old Zhao, can you hear me?!" Li Yunlong's voice came from the intercom in his hand.

"Old Li, I can hear you here. Where are you now?!" Zhao Gang was stunned at first, but then quickly responded.

"I'm at the entrance of the village now. Are you sure you're staying in the yard?!" Li Yunlong said. He was so interested in this thing that he couldn't wait to try it as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village. He didn't expect that it could really make a connection.

"I don't understand!" Zhao Gang replied. Li Yunlong's yard was two or three hundred meters away from the village entrance.

"That's good. I didn't expect that this little thing could actually communicate. Just wait, I've asked the monk to bring the horse over. I'll ride into the mountains soon. Don't move!" Li Yunlong continued.

If we walk twenty miles on foot, it would be a waste of time. It would save more time to just ride a horse.

"No problem." Zhao Gang nodded in agreement.

Soon, there was no sound on the intercom.

Time passed minute by minute, and half an hour later, Zhao Gang was walking back and forth in the yard.

"By the way, when you sent the war horses to the brigade headquarters, did the commander say anything?!" Zhao Gang asked. He was wondering whether the commander had discovered that Li Yunlong had withheld the war horses.

"No, the commander just praised us..." Shi Zhong told the whole story. From the beginning to the end, the commander did not mention whether there was a shortage of war horses.

Zhao Gang nodded. It seemed that the leader didn't know that the war horses had been detained. Or rather, the leader noticed it, but because Li Yunlong didn't detain many war horses, he turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.

"Hello, hello, Lao Zhao, can you hear me?!" Li Yunlong's voice came from the intercom again.

"I can hear you. Where are you?!" Zhao Gang replied quickly.

"I'm at Shuangniu Mountain now." Li Yunlong returned. Shuangniu Mountain was just about twenty miles away from the village.

"What?! It's already that far!" Zhao Gang was shocked.

"Well, you shouldn't have followed me, right?!" Li Yunlong asked.

"How is that possible? I'm in the yard!" Zhao Gang answered unhappily. How could he not know the importance of this thing?

"Okay, I'll go back now. By the way, ask the messenger to call all the battalion commanders to the regiment headquarters, and then call back Lao Zhong and Lao Qian." Li Yunlong ordered.

Now it is basically certain that this walkie-talkie can communicate so far away.

"Understood." After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he immediately called the messenger and asked him to send a few more signalmen to convey the order.

After waiting in the yard for a few minutes, Chief of Staff Zhong and Deputy Commander Qian also came over.

"Political Commissar, why is Lao Li not here?!" The two men greeted Zhao Gang.

"He is over at Shuangniu Mountain." Zhao Gang replied.

"Shuangniu Mountain?! Why did this guy run there? I remember that we don't have a base in that direction." Deputy Captain Qian was a little confused.

"He went to test the communication range of the walkie-talkie..." Zhao Gang took the walkie-talkie and began to introduce the function of this thing to the two. "Political Commissar, don't lie to me, such a small thing, can contact people so far away?!" Chief of Staff Zhong was shocked.

"When have I ever lied to you? Old Li has already returned from Shuangniu Mountain. Wait for him to come back and then you can ask him." Zhao Gang said with a smile.

"Political Commissar, let me contact Lao Li." Deputy Head Qian suggested. In fact, he already believed what Zhao Gang said.

"Okay." Zhao Gang picked up the walkie-talkie and adjusted the channel, which happened to be the same as Li Yunlong's walkie-talkie, and then handed it to Deputy Captain Qian.

"I just need to talk to it?!" Deputy Captain Qian said while looking at the walkie-talkie in his hand.

"Old Qian, you're finally here." Li Yunlong's voice came from the other end of the intercom.

"Oh ha, we can actually talk on the phone. Lao Li, where are you now?!" Deputy Captain Qian asked in amazement.

Chief of Staff Zhong standing by also widened his eyes. He seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves from the walkie-talkie, as if Li Yunlong was riding back on horseback.

"I'm just coming back from Shuangniu Mountain, so I won't talk about it for now." Li Yunlong said.

"Okay." Deputy Captain Qian nodded, and Zhao Gang also changed the channel to end the call.

"Political Commissar, Lao Qian, why don't we go to the mountain and use a telescope to take a look. Once Lao Li comes back, we can continue to contact him. How do you think?!" Chief of Staff Zhong suggested.

He felt that it was still a little unbelievable to hear it this way. It would be even better if he could see it with his own eyes.

"Good idea!" Deputy Captain Qian nodded, and Zhao Gang also thought it was okay, so they set off together, and Shi Zhong immediately followed on the walkie-talkie.

Ten minutes later, several people climbed up the mountain above the village. They held binoculars and looked into the distance, trying to check Li Yunlong's location.

After waiting for a few minutes, they saw three people riding horses towards the village through the telescope.

"Political Commissar, hurry up and contact Lao Li." Deputy Regiment Commander Qian urged and continued to use the telescope to check Li Yunlong's location.

Zhao Gang didn't waste any time and quickly changed the channel to contact Li Yunlong.

"Old Li, we are on the mountain. Stop and look over here with the telescope." After Zhao Gang said this, he immediately looked over with the telescope.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop, stop, Lao Li and the others have stopped!" Chief of Staff Zhong said quickly, his tone still somewhat excited.

From their location, they could see about seven or eight miles away with a telescope.

After Zhao Gang finished speaking, the three people on horseback stopped first, Li Yunlong, then Wei Heshang and Sun Desheng followed suit. This just met the requirements, after all, the walkie-talkie was in Li Yunlong's hands.

"You believe it now, right?" Li Yunlong's voice came from the walkie-talkie. In fact, let alone Zhao Gang and the others, he was also a little skeptical at first, but now he completely believed that this walkie-talkie could indeed communicate such a long distance.

"I believe it, I believe it!" Deputy Captain Qian said repeatedly.

After confirming everything, they went down the mountain.

"Damn, these are really great stuff! Shi Zhong, how many walkie-talkies did the commander and his men give us?!" Deputy Regiment Commander Qian asked as he went down the mountain.

"Seven." Shi Zhong responded.

"Only seven?! This is not enough. With each of us having one, we already have four. The remaining three are not enough." Deputy Captain Qian frowned.

"Um...what the commander means is that the regiment commander has one, and the remaining six are the battalion commanders of the five battalions, plus me, a total of six." Shi Zhong told the story.

Deputy Head Qian: “…”

"So there's no share for us." Chief of Staff Zhong suddenly felt a little disappointed.

"As it should be. Such a useful thing really can't be divided into too many." Zhao Gang comforted him. In fact, he realized this after seeing the number of walkie-talkies.

It is not their turn to use these seven walkie-talkies. They are used to quickly assemble the troops without sending anyone to notify them. In this way, time can be saved whenever the troops need to be assembled in the future.

Moreover, if other battalions want to mobilize troops for combat, they can also report to Li Yunlong quickly, which is a very convenient thing.

"That's right." After hearing this, the two nodded and didn't say anything more, but it was obvious that they were both very interested in this walkie-talkie.

"It would be nice if there were more walkie-talkies," Deputy Head Qian sighed.

"Yes, if walkie-talkies can be distributed to platoon-level units, the troops can save more time on notifications and assemble faster!" Chief of Staff Zhong also said.

"That's for sure." Deputy Regimental Commander Qian responded that now only the battalion-level units have walkie-talkies. After conveying the order, the battalion-level units still need to send people to notify the troops below to assemble.

"But compared with the past, it is much more convenient now." Zhao Gang also said that if there were no walkie-talkies, they would waste more time.

"Indeed, I was wondering how many walkie-talkies the commander allocated to the special operations battalion. I estimate that at least they can be distributed to the platoon-level units." Deputy Regiment Commander Qian couldn't help but think of the special operations battalion.

If the special operations battalion could have a lot of walkie-talkies, the combat capability of this unit would be raised to a higher level.

They were already very strong, and now they have reached a higher level. Wouldn’t their cooperation in combat be even more tacit?

"Needless to say, of course, it would be more useful if the special operations battalion had more walkie-talkies than us." Chief of Staff Zhong said directly.

Zhao Gang fell silent and didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about something.

No one noticed this. After they returned to Li Yunlong's room, they waited for a few minutes before Li Yunlong came back with his people.

"Damn it, I'm freezing." Li Yunlong started cursing as soon as he entered the door. His hands were red from the cold.

As soon as I came in, I saw Zhao Gang and others sitting on the kang!
"Old Li, you're back." Chief of Staff Zhong said with a smile.

"This walkie-talkie is really useful! The leader is really amazing. He can come up with such a useful thing!" Li Yunlong held the walkie-talkie in his hand, and was quite fond of it.

"It's a pity that there is no share for you guys. This will be distributed to several battalion commanders." Li Yunlong added with a smile.

Needless to say, this thing must have been made by the leader so that the new regiment could save time and assemble quickly.

"Yes, yes, I'll give it to you." Deputy Captain Qian rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"It's just a walkie-talkie, there's no need to be so cocky." Chief of Staff Zhong also said.

"Haha, you are just jealous!" Li Yunlong laughed twice when he heard the sour words from the two.

"Hey, Shi Zhong, has the commander noticed that some war horses are missing?!" Li Yunlong just remembered this, and he was actually still a little panicked about it.
