The cold wind is howling, the radio waves are undulating, and in the hinterland of Lingnan, a communication competition is in full swing. Suddenly, all communication links were interrupted, and I saw that on the oscillator of the radio wave transmitter, the sound of "tick, tick, tick" came intensively, and the artificial interference signals appeared in turn......
All the members of a certain newspaper squad were calm and calm, and their pens were flying, skillfully avoiding the electromagnetic interference of the "enemy", and recording fleeting codes.
The squad leader Tong Fang quickly concentrated his attention, copied and received the message in an orderly manner, and successfully sent the orders of the superiors, and the report squad of the department took the lead in successfully connecting the communication link of the command post, providing intelligence support for the "battle".
"In the battlefield of modern information, wired communication is very widely used, but it is also inseparable from short-wave radio communication means, when the war comes, communication is paralyzed, Morse code is still a means of guarantee. In the face of the ever-changing communication revolution, the leadership of the ministry said firmly.
One word and one yard, thousands of troops, is the most appropriate word to describe the newspaper soldiers. In the movie "The Eternal Wave", the scene of the telegraph operator wearing headphones pressing the electric button "tick-tock" to send a telegram is unforgettable, and the underground worker Li Xia insisted on turning top-secret information into radio waves at the last moment of his life to complete important tasks and realize the liberation of Shanghai.
In modern warfare, although the telegraph operators are stationed on a three-foot machine, the radio waves in their hands cross the mountains and the sea, command the battlefield thousands of miles away, and the news they transmit determines the victory or defeat of the battlefield, and they must be foolproof.
Therefore, the arduous task of becoming a qualified newspaper operator and the glorious mission on his back require the operator to go through many hurdles before he can become his "big material" and sit firmly on the three-foot machine.
Walking into the training room of a certain communications company, more than a dozen students in front of the post were learning from the details of sitting posture, how to hold a pen, and sharpening a pencil.
Speaking of Morse code, Tong Fang, the backbone of the department's training, excitedly compared that "tick" is 1, "tick-tock" is 2, and "tick-tock" is 3. The reporter noticed that his fingers, which had thick calluses and slightly bulging bones due to long-term tapping of the electric keys.
"A qualified newspaper operator needs a three-pronged approach of concentration, flexibility, and reflexes, and it also requires the eyes to keep looking, the ears to keep listening, the brain to keep changing, the hands to keep writing, and the pen to keep turning. ”
Speaking of the hardships of training a newspaper operator, Tong Fang has a profound experience. Cultivating skills is not a day's work. Every telegraph operator must be proficient in the Morse code corresponding to the 26 letters and 10 Arabic numerals. A radio station, a pair of headphones, the operator is flying with a pen, and his hands, eyes, brains and ears are working together at the same time, recording the fleeting code like the wind.
It's not enough to practice hand skills, but listening skills is also crucial. In order to cope with the complex environment of the battlefield and improve the ability to hear and discern, the operators often practice copying newspapers in different environments, and they constantly interfere with training in the environment of electromagnetic sounds, speaking sounds, radio sounds, noises, etc., constantly improve their concentration, capture radio wave signals, and accurately complete the copying of newspapers.
Soldiers are on duty 24 hours a day, in multiple periods throughout the day, testing all frequency bands with Morse code, and commands from thousands of miles away are being transmitted to the hands of front-line fighters through radio waves.
