Secret War Silent

A silent battlefield.

Although there is no fight, it is more thrilling than a fight, when a portion of the secret message is deciphered.

The entire battlefield situation is presented in front of you like a dynamic picture scroll, and you share the same breath and destiny with the soldiers in front.

It's a wonderful feeling.

"Most of the Qingtian Brigade of the Japanese army was defeated. Qingtian Rang committed seppuku and was stopped by his subordinates. This is the last telegram sent by the Qingtian Brigade to Uemura!" Huo Tian excitedly handed the message to Luo Yao.

"I don't know if that old devil Neji Okamura will spit out a mouthful of blood when he receives this news?" Luo Yao chuckled, "I heard that last year, during the entrance ceremony in Jiangcheng, he injured his lung and sometimes coughed up blood. Woolen cloth."

"If a mouthful of blood is coughed up, it would be good to die. This battle will not go on." Wu Yuliang (Zhou Lin) said.

"Don't think too much, Neiji Okamura doesn't get mad so easily." Lin Banggu (Ling An) walked over and said, "Don't you all go to bed? I'm so sleepy, I can't stand it anymore."

"Zhou Lin, watch for me, I'll go to sleep first, and come over in the morning for you." Huo Tian yawned and said.

"Okay, I'll be on the night shift tonight."

"Keep an eye on Neiji Okamura's 11th Army headquarters. If there is any situation, please notify me immediately." Luo Yao instructed Wu Yuliang (Zhou Lin), "I'll go and take a nap for a while, and call me if I need something."

"Okay, don't worry, Group Qin."

……

Yuelu Mountain Qingfengxia Ninth Theater Command.

Tonight's battle is very crucial, not to mention that Xue Boling can't sleep, almost everyone in the headquarters did not sleep.

We are all waiting for the result of this battle.

When the 95th Division sent the battle report, the entire headquarters was boiling. This was the biggest victory since the start of the war.

It was almost established to eat up an excellent brigade of the Japanese army. Although it is far from the victory of Wanjialing in the past, it was able to eat up a brigade of the Japanese army in World War I. Such a result has been recorded in the battle between the national army and the Japanese army. It is very rare to see.

Moreover, it was achieved when the strength of the two sides was not much different, making such a victory even more rare.

"This Luo Ziliang played well and has the courage of Luo Cheng!" Xue Boling exclaimed excitedly.

Wu Xuexin calmly reminded: "Mr. Xue, the first contribution in this battle should be the 'X' team."

Xue Boling woke up suddenly, nodded and said: "Brother Xuexin is right. If the 'X' team hadn't provided accurate information on the Japanese army's attempted night attack in time, our army would have set up an ambush accordingly. I am afraid the consequences would be disastrous, let alone Said to be able to make a miracle in one battle!"

"Mr. Xue, with such a big victory, should we report to Generalissimo Jiang instead?"

"Well, it should be reported, but we still have to wait for the exact news, and the exact results of the battle will be reported by Commander Guan." Xue Boling said seriously.

There are some things that he has to consider carefully. After all, the 95th Division is a unit under the 15th Army, and reports should be made step by step.

Although the news he got was basically confirmed, he still had to wait for the report from below to count. Otherwise, if he reported it in advance, it would attract criticism.

This will make Guan Yudong feel that the theater command is asking for credit in advance, and it is not good to give him all the credit for the battle of the 95th Division.

Although the fact is the same, you can't leave no honor to others, can you?

Can we still play together after this?

"I guess it's almost too soon. Brother Yudong has always been a soldier who is extremely fast and never falls behind." Wu Xuexin laughed, and just as he finished speaking, the confidential staff officer hurried in from the outside with a blue folder in his arms.

"The Commander of the 15th Group Army's victory telegram."

Xue Boling and Wu Xuexin looked at each other and smiled, and they came.

This victory, if it wasn't for the Prohibition of Alcohol issued by the Great War, I really have to have a good drink, it's so satisfying and refreshing.

……

Mountain City·Huangshan Mansion.

The elegant Mrs. Song walked past her husband's study on a pair of velvet slippers, and found that the light inside was still on. The guard at the door saw the president's wife coming, and was about to speak.

Mrs. Song waved her hand slightly, signaling the guard not to speak.

If Madam wants to go in, the guards dare not stop her, even if she is scolded later, she can only bear with it. Offending President Jiang, it will be over after a few words of scolding. Offending Madam, it will be uncomfortable in the mansion afterwards.

The guard held his head high, his eyes straight ahead, as if he didn't see it.

The door of the study room was pushed open, and the old man, who was still reviewing documents under the lamp, didn't seem to notice that there was suddenly another person beside him.

"Oh, when did Madam come?" Muran raised his head, seeing Madam's smiling face, the old man smiled happily, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"It's so late, why don't you rest?"

"The country's affairs are difficult, Ma'am, you know that the frontline soldiers are fighting bloody battles, and those of us in the rear need to do our best to ensure the supply of food, grass and ammunition for them."

"Xue Boling is urging you for food and ammunition again?"

"Not only food and ammunition, but also people." The old man said with a chuckle, "Once this war starts, it will be like a beast that eats money. The wealth of this country will be visibly shrunk. It is hard work to save a little bit of family property, and it will be destroyed again." I was beaten up all at once, but it’s impossible not to fight, if the country dies, we will all be lonely ghosts, and we will not be able to see the former Prime Minister underground after death.”

"Is there any chance of winning this battle?"

"At least for the time being, Xue Boling is playing well. There are no mistakes in the fight. This person is still capable." The old man nodded.

"Look, it's almost four o'clock, if you don't go to bed, you won't have to work tomorrow?" The lady glanced at the wall clock on the wall and complained.

"Okay, listen to Madam." The old man nodded, Madam came in person, how can I not show face.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I want to invite the children and family members in the mountain city over to have a reunion dinner together. It's been a long time since we had dinner together?" Mrs. Song said.

"Well, it's up to these wives to decide." The old man grabbed his wife's hand and patted it lightly, his eyes filled with pampering.

"Okay, I'll make the decision, but you have to find time to come here. Many people haven't seen you for a long time, and you don't even know about the addition of a baby." Mrs. Song said.

"Well, I'll try to spare some time. You know, I'm very busy every day." The old man didn't dare to make any guarantees. Who knows what will happen then?

There was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

Immediately, there was a knock on the door.

"Chairman, Chief Xue of the Ninth War Zone has an urgent call." Mao Zongxiang's voice came in through the gap in the study door.

"Come in."

"Chairman, Madam is here too..." Mao Zongxiang, director of the Confidential Office of the Attendant's Office, pushed the door in and was slightly surprised to see Mrs. Song.

"Do you need me to avoid it?" Mrs. Song asked. Although she also has a public office, she does not get involved in some things. This is the rule.

"No need, Zong Xiang, what Xue Boling said, you just report it directly." The old man said.

"Officer Xue reported that our army set up an ambush on Yinlong Mountain in Yingtian, wiped out a large part of the Japanese army, captured more than ten Japanese soldiers, and took the opportunity to retake part of the positions occupied by the Japanese army. The Japanese army suffered heavy losses. Earlier, the 15th Army 95 The division even attacked decisively, destroying the pontoon and bridge troops of the Shangcun Detachment of the Japanese army, severely injuring the Japanese army, and blocking the Japanese army's right wing in the camp field area, making it difficult to move an inch! Xue Boling, September 28, 23 of the Republic of China." Mao Zongxiang opened the folder and followed the content of the message Read it out.

"Okay, okay, Xue Boling fought well. The 95th Division fought well. It's really a good job. I want to reward you with an order for fighting with the might of our army!"

"Darling, this is really good news." Mrs. Song also smiled when she heard it from the side.

"Invite Mr. Chen Bulei here immediately, tell him the news, and ask him to write a special article and publish it in the "Central Daily" tomorrow. We have won the battle!" The old man immediately ordered the guards.

"Yes."

"Chairman, once this news comes out, it must inspire the anti-war morale and fighting spirit of the people across the country." Mao Zongxiang said, "It is reported that in this battle, in addition to the participation of the 95th regiment, there was also a 28th regiment of the 55th Army. battalion, in fact, the total strength is less than [-] people, and it is a miracle that they were able to eat up a large group of the Japanese army!" Mao Zongxiang knew a lot, and it was impossible for all the telegrams to be sent to the old man, such a large number of telegrams It could fill this library.

"We must vigorously promote it. The Communist Party has a 115th division. We also have a 95th division. We will not lose to them!" The old man snorted.

"Yes."

"Chairman, besides this victory telegram, Chief Xue also has another telegram." Mao Zongxiang took out another telegram.

"Oh?"

"Officer Xue said that this time the 95th Division was able to make great achievements in Yinlong Mountain, and the first credit should go to the 'X' team, including the information that the Japanese army was planning to attack and land on the camp field before. This 'X' team deciphered the Japanese army's secret communication in advance As far as I know, if it weren’t for this, Yingtian might have fallen into the hands of the Japanese army a long time ago.” Mao Zongxiang said, the ‘X’ group also has people in the key room, and its credit is indispensable, so he happily invited this The power telegram is sent up.

"The 'X' team is Luo Youning's code-deciphering team, right?" The old man's memory is still good, and he immediately remembered that he had indeed sent a team to Xiangcheng with the field service team before the war.

"Yes, Chairman."

"Very good. I remember the establishment of the 'X' group. You contributed so much to it. It seems that this step is done right, Zong Xiang, and you did a good job." Old Jiang nodded with satisfaction, and Mao Zongxiang was also considered his own. People, their own family has made achievements, so naturally they have to look at it even more.

"It's all well-led by the chairman."

"You don't need to flatter. The 'X' team has indeed made great contributions, and this should be rewarded, but because of the special nature of their work, their contributions should not be published in the newspapers, and the rewards can be distributed quietly." The old man thought for a while, Give an order.

"Yes, Chairman."

Chapter 0414 Reward Telegram

The headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese Invaders in Xianning.

Here, a large battle map was hung on the wall. Neiji Okamura, who was dressed in a general uniform, was sitting on a chair with his hands on the handle of his command knife, looking at the red and blue arrows on the map.

Not far from the side, the combat staff officer was answering the phone, and the confidential staff officer kept coming forward, re-marking on the map.

The upper village detachment failed in the night attack, and accompanied a brigade.

He was angry.

Some of these officers, even generals, are too arrogant, thinking that the Chinese army is nothing and can easily defeat it?

But is this the case?

Wanjialing, the example of the 106th Division's disastrous defeat was just ahead. It has only been a long time, and these people have forgotten that underestimating the enemy will suffer a big loss.

Anger is useless, it will only make yourself less calm.

Your Excellency the Commander said that he needed to be quiet, so naturally no one dared to come forward to disturb him. Finally, this peace was broken.

Okamura Neiji's adjutant, Major Ogasawara, came behind him with a telegram, bent down, and whispered in his ear: "Your Excellency, Commander, Ejo Kondo is calling."

Okamura Ningji rolled his eyes slightly: "Talk."

"The latest information, Shancheng has recently sent a field service group to Xiangcheng. There is a special team in this field service group..."

"Nani? The information is reliable?" Okamura Ningji's eyes sharpened suddenly.

"It's very reliable. Chief Kondo said that this is a message from one of our senior intelligence agents." Adjutant Ogasawara explained.

"This matter is no small matter. If our communication secret code is deciphered by the Chinese, then wouldn't our battle plan be completely open to the Chinese? No wonder, since the war started, our opponents seem to have known it in advance!" Gang Cunningci gritted his teeth and said, "Go ask the chief of staff to come over."

"Hay!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, do the Chinese have such capabilities? I doubt it?" Chief of Staff Major General Yoshida Sadaichi asked disdainfully after hearing Ogasawara's report.

"The Chinese have rapidly improved their cipher deciphering level during this period of time because they invited an expert in deciphering from the United States. This person is called Herbert Yardley, and this person was once in the United States. The Eighth Division of the Central Intelligence Agency is the director. In the United States, he has the nickname of "Deciphering the Elf". In his autobiographical novel "American Black Room", there are many records of deciphering our secret codes. Although the authenticity needs to be verified, this article I have been in China for nearly a year, and I have reason to believe that with the help of this person, the Chinese people's code-breaking level has been greatly improved!" Adjutant Ogasawara still did a lot of information collection in advance.

"Oh?" Yoshida Sadaichi was puzzled.

"No matter what the truth is, from now on, our communication security must be taken seriously." Neiji Okamura said.

"Your Excellency, Commander, since this is the case, we must immediately change the secret code." Yoshida Sadaichi suggested.

"Suddenly changing the secret code will affect our previous deployment, and the command will be disrupted, which is not good for us, unless we can stop and regroup the army, then it will be equivalent to giving the other party a breather Opportunity, the Hunan-Jiangxi combat plan we formulated will be abandoned halfway!" Okamura Neiji said.

"What should I do?"

"The secret code will not be changed for the time being. Important orders can be notified by wired telephone or delivered by a special person. Although the timeliness is a bit short, at least it is not easy to leak the secret." Okamura Ningji said, "In addition, part of the secret code can be replaced first, and it will be obtained later. After gaining local advantages on the battlefield, all of them will be replaced with new encrypted codes.”

"Your Excellency, Commander, are you talking about the 33rd Division of our left wing?" Yoshida Teiichi was the chief of staff, and he was not a mallet. As soon as Okamura Ningji finished speaking, he thought for a while and understood what he meant.

The 33rd Division is a three-unit division dedicated to garrison that was formed in Sendai in February this year. This garrison division does not have a brigade organization, and the unit is directly divided into divisions. The number and quality of equipment and soldiers are not as good Field divisions, of course, have even worse combat effectiveness.

But even so, the garrison division was composed of a group of veterans who had been recruited, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. Except for heavy weapons, the conventional weapons and equipment were similar to those of the field division.

Putting this on the Chinese battlefield, it is still much more elite than the national army.

Originally, the 33rd Division planned to attack from the south of Hubei and the northeast, avoiding the defense lines of Xinqiang River and Miluo River, going straight into northern Hunan, and attacking the 15th Army with the [-]th and [-]rd Divisions of the Japanese Army in northern Hunan.

However, the Uemura detachment's landing operation in Yingtian has been considered a failure. Okamura Ningji did not let the 33rd Division attack immediately. Of course, the 33rd Division did not move.

Instead, it has already invaded Tongcheng and exchanged fire with the 27th Army of the Sichuan Army defending Tongcheng. At present, it is only a tentative attack.

This is the least intense part of the current Hunan-Jiangxi battlefield.

Especially easy to be ignored.

Now northern Jiangxi and northern Hunan are basically clear cards, and Okamura Ningji himself knows that his strategic concept has basically been known to his opponents.

And the opponent was Xue Huhu, who had caused him a great loss in Wanjialing. He was a cunning opponent, and he needed to be very cautious.

Now only Hubei can make a fuss.

The 33rd Division faced the Sichuan Army.

Sichuan Army.

This is a miscellaneous army, but Gangcun Ningci did not take it lightly. You must know that during the Xuzhou battle, he read the battle report behind him, and the Sichuan army left him a very deep impression.

The Chinese army that sticks to Teng County is the Sichuan Army.
