Chapter 240 The difference between walkie-talkies and radio stations

Of course, Bailixiu didn't stop after shooting the first tank. He blew up the next two tanks with two consecutive shots.

Compared with hitting the sight glass of any tank, making the tank blind, and then killing the tank, Bailixiu's method is naturally simple, efficient, and effective.

Of course, this is also based on the advanced level of Bailixiu's weapons. Otherwise, like Chen Dayong, he would still have to choose to use the observation scope.

The destruction of three tanks further shocked the three American snipers hiding in the trench. One of the American snipers turned to Jack, the deputy squad leader of the sniper squad, and asked:

"Jack, did you see the trajectory of the rockets? How come three tanks were blown up in an instant? Did the tide-reinforcement army have some new weapons against tanks?"

Jack could only shake his head at the greetings from his subordinates, and seeing that Jack was silent, another subordinate said:

"Jack, now that the company commander is dead, we only brought a walkie-talkie, and we can't contact the higher level through the war. Are we isolated and helpless? So can we surrender? I heard that the tide-reinforcement army treated prisoners differently.

Very good!”

Yes, the communication equipment carried by their sniper squad is a walkie-talkie similar to a walkie-talkie. Of course, the communication range is shorter than that of walkie-talkies a few decades later, only three or four kilometers, so they can only contact their company commander, although such a short communication

The distance may seem bad, but it is of epoch-making significance.

You must know that in ancient times when communication technology was backward, combat command relied heavily on tacit understanding among commanders at all levels. It was very difficult to efficiently coordinate several armies in a noisy large-scale battle.

When radio and wired telephones appeared, senior commanders were able to grasp the dynamics at the lion and regiment levels in a relatively timely manner, but it was still difficult for regiment and battalion level commanders to grasp the combat dynamics at the company and platoon levels in a timely manner.

However, all this changed during World War II, especially the large number of individual infantry walkie-talkies equipped by the American army, which raised the combat flexibility of grassroots units to a higher level.

Individual infantry telephones are different from high-power radio stations in that their communication distance is short, usually only a few kilometers, but the advantage is that they are small in size and light in weight.

Therefore, this kind of equipment is generally used in company- and platoon-level combat units. It is responsible for contacting superior commanders, cooperating with friendly troops, and reporting reconnaissance or encounter situations to superiors in a timely manner. Superiors or friendly troops who have timely grasped the information can make decisions.

Corresponding operational adjustments.

Compared with the previous communication method that relied on messengers, walkie-talkies are much more efficient and timely, and communication is more guaranteed. You can clearly know whether the information has been accurately delivered. From today's perspective, walkie-talkies are as convenient as walkie-talkies.

.

In the field of walkie-talkie technology, the United States is at the forefront of the world. Although Germany and other countries also had their own related equipment during World War II, they were not as good as the United States in terms of technical performance, portability or equipment penetration rate.

In 1928, a small business in the United States called Galvin Manufacturing Company was born with a registered capital of just over five hundred US dollars. Even though it was just a clown duck at the beginning, five employees made some car radios for sale, but later

After its name was changed, it can be said that everyone knows it, and that is the famous Motoluola.

In the 1930s, Motorola Company had deep roots in the electronics market and accumulated rich technical experience. Before the outbreak of World War II, it successfully designed the SCR-536 walkie-talkie, which we often see in movies.

Large communication equipment.

In the sniper movie plot, the conversation between the American company commander and the American sniper is this kind of walkie-talkie. After all, it was only a few years before World War II, so this type of walkie-talkie cannot be eliminated.

.

This walkie-talkie weighed 2.3 kilograms, which was very light at the time. The working band was 3.5 to 6 MHz, and the communication distance was 1 to 4.8 kilometers. If it was in a dense forest, it would be reduced to two to three hundred meters.

Meter distance. It was first used by the secret service, but was soon used by the military.

Although the communication distance is short, it is enough for platoon-level units. They only need to contact the company headquarters or battalion headquarters not far away. Such electronic equipment was the only one in the United States at the time. Not only that, it was even more attractive.

The special feature is that the cost is only thirty US dollars per unit, and a total of 130,000 units were built during World War II.

It is precisely because there are so many that the American army cannot easily replace them, so it is still in use in the Chaozhou-Xian war.

These walkie-talkies are put into the troops with one for each platoon. The company headquarters also has one for mutual communication, while the artillery platoon has two. This may be due to the higher communication requirements of the artillery.

Of course, if it is to transmit information or instructions over a longer distance, it is still necessary to use a radio. After all, even modern walkie-talkies cannot make language calls for tens, hundreds or even thousands of kilometers.

In fact, the individual quality of most of the infantrymen of the US Army in World War II was not significantly different from that of the armies of other major powers at the same time. However, when fighting for the island with desperate little devils, and the other side also had geographical advantages, they could win in this kind of battle.

In addition to having more powerful weapons in hand, sea and air support, and the configuration of walkie-talkies also play a great role in making the troops more flexible in combat, and can always call for artillery support or air support at critical moments.

For example, the biggest function of this kind of walkie-talkie is that it can achieve precise artillery strikes when combined with artillery. After all, many artillery fires are often several kilometers or more than ten kilometers away, or even fire behind mountains. The impact point of the artillery shells cannot be seen at all, so if there is no

If people report the point of impact from time to time, the artillerymen will have no way to adjust the angle of the artillery.

In fact, other countries also had similar equipment at the same time. For example, the Little Devils developed the No. 6 wireless radio in Showa 19, but its reliability was not as good as SCR-536, its size was the same as a radio, and its output was even rarer, so the battle situation

It didn't have any effect.

After the American sniper, who thought he was isolated and helpless because of the short communication distance of the walkie-talkie, expressed his inner thoughts, Jack, the deputy squad leader of the American sniper squad, said to the two of them worriedly:

"But we have wounded the scout, will the other side not allow us to surrender?"

As he said this, Jack suddenly saw the trendy kid who was attracted by the can before, and immediately thought of a good idea, so he immediately pulled the trendy kid over and said to the two of them:

"No matter how good the prisoner is, it's not as good as ours to go back safely, so we took this child as a hostage and asked the other side to let us go. It just so happens that I can also speak a few words in Chinese and can barely communicate!"

Yes, the deputy squad leader of the sniper squad still felt that surrendering was too embarrassing, so he thought of such a damaging move. Moreover, he also heard that Chaoxian had a very good relationship with the Chaoxian army, so if Chaoxian's children were used to threaten him,

The chances of the reinforcements escaping are still very high.

After all, prisoners are prisoners no matter what, and if they didn't complete the sniper mission this time, they won't do it next time.
