Here's the caption via Google Translate:

Photo of the E27 transceiver panel of the theme exhibition, Tianjin 
Electric Works No. 2 Factory, in response to the urgent needs of the 
volunteers, put together a 15-watt telegraph produced by the incomplete 
radio station in stock.

Volunteer Army radio stations are not only small in number, but also low 
in transmission power. Senior Cui Lun recalled, “During the campaign 
period, there was no condition to build a centralized station. Zhisi’s 
radio stations were all configured in a single station.... The radio 
power can only use hand-cranked motors and cannot increase the power.... 
Starting from the end of 1951, the establishment began. The centralized 
transceiver platform... After completion,... the transmission power has 
increased from 15 watts to 180 watts, and the work efficiency has been 
increased by 10 times...".

The propagation distance of short-wave electromagnetic waves and the 
effective communication distance are two concepts. In order to ensure 
smooth communication, the Volunteer Army headquarters moved forward 
several times, and even moved forward from Junzili to Shangganling 
during the fourth battle, and advanced for more than 100 kilometers to 
the south. Keep a distance of about 150 kilometers. The 15-watt radio is 
in the mountains and on the battlefield, and one of them maintains 
effective communication during the movement. If I hadn't personally 
experienced what the predecessors said, I would not dare to imagine the 
younger generation.
