Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 237 Radio

It was the first time for Claudia and other Portuguese to witness the firing scene of German artillery at such a close distance, and they all opened their mouths in shock.

After such a large cannon was fired, the entire cannon body didn't move much.

However, after the first cannon was fired, smoke and dust filled the surrounding area, which showed that its reverse thrust was very strong, but even so, the entire cannon body was firmly planted on the ground.

The Portuguese were experts in artillery. Tangning had told them a long time ago about the general principle of how to control the withdrawal of artillery. What they saw this time, everyone was amazed.

Claudia immediately took out the binoculars and looked in the direction of the target. The binoculars in her hand were the Zeiss binoculars that Tangning gave her.

The Zeiss telescope is naturally much more precise than the telescope used by the Portuguese, so Claudia can't put it down.

Of course, this is the only one.

In the field of vision of the telescope, a ball of fire flashed, like a meteorite falling to the ground, a huge fire burst out, and black smoke rose.

However, there was no direct hit on target.

Almost at the same time, more than a hundred riders swarmed towards the north like a frying pan, and their speed was pushed to the extreme.

At this time, Boluo was like a dead soul. He knew that the new army had locked him and had already used the advanced artillery.

He didn't expect that he was already low-key and careful enough, not only put away the flag, but also hid in an inconspicuous place, but he still didn't escape the eyes of the new army.

It's too late to say anything now, in front of this kind of terrifying artillery, the only way to be brave is to be smashed to pieces.

"Retreat in several ways, spread out..." Boluo still did not forget to order the soldiers, because he knew that once he was locked, no amount of soldiers would be able to save him. is the only way of escape.

If they escape separately, they may be able to confuse the new army.

But obviously, his wishful thinking was wrong. The scattered soldiers were fine, but the shells of the new army seemed to have eyes. As long as he ran, he would explode there.

Until, there was a bang beside his ears, and Boluo felt a terrifying force sweeping his whole body, like a leaf, being torn apart and blown away.

The war horse under him fell down with an unsteady hoof, neighing in pain.

Boluo lay on the ground, trying to open his eyes, but the eyes were quickly flooded with blood.

He only felt the pain all over his body, as if he would faint from the pain at any time, lost consciousness in many parts of his body, and could not move his body.

Regardless of the danger, more than a dozen soldiers dismounted from their horses and rushed over. Seeing Boluo's miserable state, they all cried out in grief and indignation.

Boluo seemed to be able to hear, but he didn't seem to be able to hear what these people were saying. He just felt dizzy and wanted to close his eyes and fall asleep.

"Master Baylor is still alive, send him back for treatment as soon as possible."

"However, Lord Baylor's injury is too serious, and the road is bumpy. Can Lord Baylor handle it?" Someone raised an objection.

"Staying here, can you save Lord Baylor? Those miscellaneous cannons may have been aimed at this place..."

"Hurry up, take Lord Baylor away quickly, try to be careful, the others continue to disperse, and draw the enemy's artillery away..."

Time was running out, and these soldiers quickly made a decision, but the shells did not come down again. Although they were surprised, they didn't think much about it.

On the side of the new army tent, a group of people gathered around a square box, still unable to conceal the surprise on their faces, although this was not the first time they had seen this thing.

They all stared at the soldier operating this thing in unison, making the soldier feel a little uncomfortable.

The soldier looked at Tangning and said, "My lord, Bo Luo may not be dead yet, his soldiers are carrying him and continuing to flee."

Tangning raised her brows and said in surprise, "The shell exploded at such a short distance and broke one of his legs. If he is still alive, that is his fate."

"Since that's the case, there's no need to waste cannonballs. Let the Tartars save a disabled person and go back. Of course, it depends on whether they can heal Boluo's injury."

The soldier responded to the order, and immediately said to an object in his hand: "My lord has an order, stop the shelling."

The one that can transmit voice over a long distance is naturally the radio. Just now, Boluo was able to be locked all the time precisely because his every move was in the eyes of the new army scouts sent out.

And the team of scouts was equipped with a radio, which could report back Boluo's actions and information immediately, and at the same time guide the artillery to fire.

Under such circumstances, it was really difficult for Boluo to run away.

Torn.Fu.g infantry radio is a backpack radio issued by the German army in 1940.

Compared with the early stage with a total weight of about 50 kg, the Torn.Fu.d model, which is divided into radio and battery accessory boxes by two people, is lighter and more convenient, with a total weight of only 18.3 kg.

The output power is 1.5 watts, the Morse code communication distance is 15 kilometers, and the voice call is 6.5 kilometers. Its performance is not inferior to the SCR-1940 that was also equipped by the US military in 300.

It's a pity that Tangning didn't understand Morse code, nor did she understand other codes, so the function of transmitting information through codes was basically wasted.

However, 6.5 kilometers for voice calls is basically enough, and it is also very convenient to use. Soldiers are easy to master, and they don't have to worry about being eavesdropped by anyone, and they can use it unscrupulously.

However, this type of radio is mainly equipped at the battalion and company level of command units and reconnaissance units, and the general infantry units are basically out of this.

The general infantry unit is equipped with a Feld individual radio, and its communication distance is only about 1.5 kilometers.

In Tangning's arsenal, both types of radios were available, but Tangning naturally equipped the Torn.Fu.g infantry radio first.

Its 6.5-kilometer voice call distance basically allows the frontier scouts to transmit back the received information in a timely manner.

It does not require several Feld-equipped individual radio reconnaissance teams to communicate with each other to be able to send the message back step by step.

As for the charging of the radio battery pack, there is a hand-cranked generator in the arsenal, which does not need diesel or gasoline, and generates electricity by hand-cranking.

Although the hand generator is inefficient and low in power, it is more than enough to charge the radio battery pack.

When Tangning took out the radio back then, everyone was shocked, more so than any novelty in the past.

After all, whether it is machine guns, artillery, binoculars, watches, etc., although they are amazed at their power, at least they have seen all kinds of firearms, and they also know binoculars and clocks.

However, this kind of thing that can speak and hear voices over a long distance is really incredible and amazing.

Moreover, Master Tang said that this thing uses electricity, just like the lightning in the sky, but the power of this electricity is much weaker than the lightning in the sky.

But even so, it was too shocking. Isn't this the gods in the sky, the Thunder God and the Mother Thunder?
When Tangning cranked the generator, connected a light bulb, and turned it on, the scene exploded.

It's as if human beings have never been to the sky, and suddenly an airplane can carry human beings to the sky. The shock caused by the novelty that subverts traditional thinking is unimaginable.

Now, the most enviable unit of the new army is not the artillerymen operating German artillery, but the scouts equipped with radios.

Occasionally, Tangning needed to light a light bulb temporarily, and the soldiers who were ordered to shake the hand crank engine were very excited, as if she could control lightning.
