Resistance against Japan: Starting with the local militia

Chapter 21 Communication Problems

The next afternoon, Tang Weiguo received news of Tang Dazhuang's victory.

"Commander, Commander, Tang Dazhuang has sent word! He and Niu Dali led the new recruits and the special forces to easily take Black Fox Village!" Tang Xiaohu said excitedly.

"Hmm, not bad." Tang Weiguo seemed to have known the outcome of the battle beforehand, so he remained calm.

"What's the casualty situation?" Tang Weiguo asked.

"There were no casualties. There were 7 seriously wounded soldiers, all of whom are temporarily out of danger under the treatment of medics. A small number of people suffered minor injuries that do not affect their operations."

"Commander, Tang Dazhuang has achieved excellent results this time, annihilating the Black Fox Village bandits. Apart from the bandits who resisted being killed, most of them were captured. In addition, Tang Dazhuang also captured the bandit leader alive. They are currently escorting the bandits towards the military camp and should arrive tonight."

"The soldiers of the replenishment regiment are cleaning up the battlefield. Bi Shoucai went with the logistics department to count the spoils of war."

"In addition, Niu Dali sent word that the silver dollars, gold bars, and other wealth accumulated by this bandit gang will be personally escorted by the special forces company and handed over to the regimental commander as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the money." Tang Xiaohu reported all the matters to Tang Weiguo.

"Not bad, not bad, good, very good. Tang Dazhuang's performance in this battle has exceeded my expectations. I had anticipated that several soldiers would be killed." Tang Weiguo finally smiled upon hearing this.

"By the way, explain the situation to Dean Chu in advance and ask her to prepare for the surgery to ensure the safety of these seven seriously injured people," Tang Weiguo ordered.

"Yes." Tang Xiaohu hurriedly ran towards the military hospital.

"Wait, never mind, I'll go myself. There's something I need to ask Dean Chu." Tang Weiguo called out to Tang Xiaohu, who was about to leave.

"Alright, then I'll get back to work, Commander. These bastards in the camp have been clamoring for battle every day lately, I need to train them properly," Tang Xiaohu said.

"Okay, tell them they'll have plenty of battles to fight in the future. Don't let them all let me down when they get to the battlefield. But be careful about the intensity of their training."

"Commander, just watch, I guarantee there won't be any problems." After saying that, Tang Xiaohu walked towards the First Battalion.

Watching Tang Xiaohu walk away, Tang Weiguo muttered to himself:

"Sigh, we have a radio but no one knows how to use it, so it's too slow to send a message. I need to talk to Chu Yu and see if I can recruit a few people who know how to use a radio through her."

Tang Weiguo thought about how the three radios he had bought last time had been gathering dust in the warehouse, and he felt that it was a waste of resources. So Tang Weiguo headed towards the hospital.

As soon as Tang Weiguo entered the hospital, he saw Chu Yu treating a soldier. Tang Weiguo gestured to Chu Yu and then sat down to wait.

"Soldier, you're fine. It's just that the training intensity has been too high lately, and you're tired. You just need a few days of rest. I'll write you a note, and you can ask your battalion commander for leave," Chu Yu said after examining the soldier.

"Dr. Chu, that won't do. Training can't stop. If I stop, I'll drag our class down." The soldier in front of Chu Yu looked resistant.

"Young soldier, your health is the foundation of everything. Only when you're fully recovered can you train better. I've approved your leave." After saying that, Chu Yu started writing the leave slip.

"No, Dr. Chu, you can't write this!" The young soldier was so anxious he was almost in tears.

"I've approved your leave. You should also inform your Battalion Commander Tang Xiaohu that he needs to pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and not to overwork our soldiers," Tang Weiguo said from behind.

"Ah, Commander." The young soldier looked surprised.

"Rest well before training. Obey orders," Tang Weiguo said.

"Yes, Commander, I will make sure I get plenty of rest."

"Okay, you can go back now. Remember to relay what I just said to your battalion commander."

"Yes," the young soldier replied and ran back.

"Dr. Chu, have the soldiers encountered this situation a lot lately?" Tang Weiguo asked Chu Yu.

“There are quite a few situations similar to what this soldier just encountered. I was going to tell you about it, but I didn’t expect you to come and see it with your own eyes. I’ll save myself the trouble of explaining,” Chu Yu Xiaozhe said.

"I just happened to see it. Come to think of it, it's my fault as the regimental commander for not paying enough attention to the soldiers' health. It seems I need to remind the training supervisor to pay attention to the balance between work and rest and avoid overtraining."

"Communicator."

"arrive."

"Notify all training supervisors to appropriately reduce physical training and increase cultural classes. We must ensure that the soldiers develop morally, artistically, physically, and aesthetically in an all-round way, and not let the excessive intensity of training affect their health."

"Yes, Captain."

"Commander, what brings you here today?" Chu Yu asked.

"Oh, by the way, the mountain stronghold behind those bandits who robbed you last time was wiped out last night by Tang Dazhuang and his new recruits. Seven soldiers were seriously injured. After the seriously injured soldiers are brought back, I'll have to trouble you and Chu Xin to prepare for their treatment," Tang Weiguo said.

"No problem, Commander."

"I'll prepare the surgical equipment now." Chu Yu was about to go find Chu Xin to prepare for the surgery.

"Dean Chu, wait a moment, they won't be back until tonight." Tang Weiguo quickly called out to Chu Yu, who was about to leave.

"I have another matter to discuss with you this time," Tang Weiguo said quickly.

"What's the matter, Commander?" Chu Yu asked curiously.

"Do any of your classmates or acquaintances study radio? I have two radios here, but no one in our regiment knows how to use them," Tang Weiguo asked.

"Well, I'll ask around for you. I can't guarantee anything, but I'll try my best to recruit a few for our group," Chu Yu replied after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

After chatting with Chu Yu for a few more minutes, Tang Weiguo went to Tang Xiaohu's battalion to check on the soldiers' training.

After Tang Weiguo left, Chu Yu sat at the table for a while, then picked up a pen and began to write a letter. The address she used was the same address her family had used to reply to her letters from their hometown last time.

Tang Weiguo had just entrusted her with this matter, and she could only ask the organization for help in resolving it.

.........

Li Ji Teahouse in Linfen City.

"Manager, someone has sent a letter." The clerk handed a letter to Li San.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

"Got it."

Li San took the letter and turned to return to his room. He immediately recognized the handwriting as belonging to Chu Yu.

"Could it be that Chu Yu encountered some problem over there?" Li San wondered.

After Li San turned on the signal and looked at it carefully, he was shocked and hurriedly put the letter away, afraid that something might happen to it.

"Wang Er, you watch the shop for now, I'm going out for a bit." Li San gave the instructions to the shopkeeper and hurriedly took the letter to his superior.

Although this impromptu meeting was somewhat against organizational rules, the situation was urgent, so Li San didn't care about that and rushed to the meeting place. The contents of this letter were simply too important!
