"Don't worry, Comrade Lin Ying, everyone's like this when they first start learning. Just practice more and you'll get better. The key is to memorize the combinations of long and short dots for each code." The communications soldier patiently encouraged her from the side.
Lin Ying practiced again and again, and gradually, her fingers seemed to find their rhythm, and the Morse code she sent began to take shape. In the following days, she followed the communications soldier to learn the Morse code corresponding to various common phrases, numbers, and letters, constantly memorizing and practicing sending them. She often practiced for several hours at a time, and even when the children outside were waiting anxiously and ran in to call her, she would only say a few words of comfort before immersing herself in her studies.
Regarding receiving telegrams, the communications soldier taught Lin Ying how to calmly listen to the information contained in the series of ticking sounds, how to distinguish the intervals and combinations of different codes, and then convert them into corresponding text content. At first, Lin Ying would always forget what she had heard earlier after hearing the later part, and it was difficult for her to completely decipher a long string of codes.

After several days of intense and demanding training, Lin Ying was finally able to use the telegraph machine quite proficiently. Whether sending simple messages to inform her of her location and situation, or receiving instructions and messages from the troops, she could handle them with ease.
Upon learning of this, Shan Yubang came to check on Lin Ying's learning progress. Watching Lin Ying skillfully operate and demonstrate the telegraph machine, he couldn't help but praise her, saying, "Comrade Lin Ying, I really didn't expect you to learn so quickly! Now I can rest assured. I hope this telegraph machine can help you solve many problems along the way. You must keep in touch with us!"
Lin Ying wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, which had appeared due to nervousness and focus, and said confidently, "Commander Shan, don't worry, I will definitely make good use of it. I will report any situation to the troops immediately and keep an eye on any messages coming from the troops."
