Chapter 197: The Battle Begins

Although the meeting with Xue Yue was very short, Xue Yue immediately sent a special plane to escort the 20 Enigma cipher machines to Chongqing in the afternoon of the same day, and handed over the cipher machines to Chairman Jiang overnight.

On the third day after the time, in the office of the Jiang family's official residence in Chongqing, Chairman Jiang sat on Changsha and looked at the small and delicate cipher machine in front of him, the expression on his face changed uncertainly, and he said faintly after a long time: "This is the Enigma cipher machine?" ”

Dai Li, who was dressed in military uniform, had red eyes due to two consecutive days and two nights without rest, and at this time he replied in an excited tone, "Yes, principal, the students have already been checked by professionals." Although none of us have ever seen this kind of cipher machine, judging by its sophistication and the results of our tests, it is indeed the legendary Enigma cipher machine that the Germans regarded as the top secret. Headmaster, with this thing, we no longer have to worry about our code being deciphered by the Japanese. ”

The chairman was silent for a long time, then turned to Chen Cheng, who was standing aside, and said, "Cixiu, what do you think?" ”

Chen Cheng replied very cautiously: "Chairman, the Enigma cipher machine is indeed the pinnacle of the Germans in cryptography, and from the current point of view, no country can effectively decipher it, but what makes me wonder is where did Su Jin get this thing, and what is his relationship with the Germans?" In the past, he was able to get so many weapons, which can also be attributed to his good relations with the German high-level. But this kind of cipher machine, which is known as Germany's top secret, is not something that can be obtained by a good relationship, which is what makes me most confused. ”

"Well, rhetoric is right." The chairman nodded with satisfaction, and then he exclaimed: "Su Sansi, this person is too mysterious, sometimes even I can't see through him, Yunong's military commander has also investigated him for so long, but he can't find any news at all, how can I use him with confidence." ”

Hear here. Dai Li's face also turned red, speaking of the eyes from Su Jin to the high-level, Dai Li, as the director of the Military Command Bureau, naturally had to conduct a routine investigation of Su Jin, but what surprised him was that Su Jin seemed to jump out of a crack in the stone, and there was no news about him at all, which made him, who had always been deaf and clear-sighted, feel very embarrassed.

Chen Cheng was silent for a while before he said leisurely: "The chairman's concern is not unreasonable, but we can't give up eating because of choking." Just like Su Sansi said in the telegram, our telegram has just been sent less than half an hour later, and the same telegram will appear on the desk of the Japanese army headquarters. And Su Jinneng sent the Enigma cipher machine at this time. For us, this is tantamount to charcoal in the snow. As Yunong said, with this thing, at least for a long time, we can safely contact the troops below without worrying about the telegram being deciphered by the Japanese. ”

"Hmm." Chairman Jiang nodded silently, what Chen Cheng said is indeed reasonable, no matter how Su Jin got these cipher machines, the important thing is that these cipher machines are too important for the current national army, with them, the national army will no longer have to worry about the telegram being deciphered, so that the combat effectiveness of the troops will be improved, as long as a fool will put such a good thing and not use it.

Chairman Jiang was able to reach this position in the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, and he was naturally not an indecisive person. After thinking about it, his eyes immediately showed a gleam, and he said resolutely: "Resignation, except for leaving two of these cipher machines for the military administration and the attendant room for their own use, the remaining eighteen cipher machines and code books are all transported to the various theater headquarters by plane. They were also strictly ordered that these cipher machines must be closely guarded, and whoever dares to leak information will be punished for treason, and will not be tolerated regardless of their official position. ”

"Yes! Students do it now! Dai Li, who had received a clear order, knew that the matter was urgent. He gave the chairman a salute and immediately went out.

After Dai Li went out, the chairman of the committee said to Chen Cheng after a deep sigh: "Resignation, the decipherment of this telegram made me realize that the telegram of our national army is like a sieve leaking everywhere for Japan, which is really too unusual. If possible...... Can you go to Changsha in person? Discuss with Su Sansi and ask him to provide more cipher machines? ”

"This ......"

Chen Cheng was a little embarrassed, the twenty Enigma cipher machines sent by Su Jin looked like a lot, but there were millions of troops in Huaxia, and there were nine in the war zone alone, and there were even fewer in the various group armies, corps and even army-level units below, these 20 cipher machines could only be said to be a drop in the bucket, and if they really wanted to be distributed, they could only be assigned to the war zone level, which was not enough at all. But the problem now is that Chen Cheng himself doesn't know if Su Jin still has a cipher machine in his hand, and whether he is willing to provide it to himself, after all, this thing is a favor for you, and it is your duty not to give it to you, and he doesn't owe it to you, so why give it to you.

Who is the chairman, he can see the concerns in Chen Cheng's heart at a glance. He said lightly: "You just tell him that the state will not ask for his things in vain, and if there are any requirements that can be put forward, as long as the government can do it, it will consider drops as appropriate." ”

Chen Cheng was shocked in his heart, according to the temper of the chairman of the committee, it is already commendable to be able to say such words, what else can he say, it is worth bowing down and saying: "Don't worry, the chairman of the committee, the ministry will go to Changsha in person immediately." ”

"Good...... There you go. The chairman nodded.

"Okay, the department will leave!" Chen Cheng saluted the chairman again, and then walked out.

When Chen Cheng left the room, a swaying figure walked out from behind, and a dignified and beautiful middle-aged beautiful woman walked out of it, and only after coming to the chairman of the committee did he say: "Darling, no matter how you say it, you are the pillar of the country, your first right-hand man, let him go to Changsha in person for a few cipher machines, this is too condescending, right?" ”

"Huh...... You don't understand. The chairman waved his hand, "At present, the Japanese are storming Nanchang, and Nanchang may not be able to be protected under our army's hasty response." Xue Boling is brave in the battle, but he is a little stubborn, and I asked Ci Xiu to go to Changsha to urge him to cool him down, and don't fight to the death with the Japanese regardless of his temper, so that there is no benefit to the great cause of the war. ”

"Then you said to let Cixiu go to the one called Su ......"

"Su Sansi!"

"Right...... It was the young man who asked for the Enigma cipher machine, could he have so much? ”

The chairman grabbed his wife's small sign and said earnestly: "No matter how many of this kind of thing there are, it is not too much, no matter whether we can get this kind of thing or not, we must show an attitude, otherwise why do you think Su Sansi asked Xue Boling to send the cipher machine overnight, which shows that he wants to show us his sincerity." Wouldn't it be disappointing if we didn't say it? ”

"So there's still such a meaning?" Mrs. Jiang's jade hand couldn't help but cover her mouth, she was a little surprised, she received an American education, and she could speak fluent English, but she didn't expect that a very simple thing contained so much knowledge.

It's just that at this time, Chairman Jiang and his wife thought crookedly, our Chief Su never thought about so many things, he just simply thought that the telegrams of the national army were frequently deciphered by the Japanese, which was undoubtedly a huge loss for the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War, so he took it upon himself to spend hundreds of energy points to cash in 20 cipher machines and sent them to Chairman Jiang through Xue Yue, but he didn't expect so many people to lose sleep.

After the start of the Nanchang Campaign, the 116th Division of the Japanese Army on the left defended the 5th Division of Xue Yuepre and a regiment of the 32nd Jun guarding Wucheng with absolute superiority. Standing until 200,000 days, Wucheng was captured by the Japanese army, and the defenders broke through less than 1,000, and the rest were killed in battle.

The Right Route Army, composed of the Sixth Division and other units, fought fiercely with Xue Yuezhi's 73rd and 8th Armies for nine days and nights, defending the defensive line at a heavy price. The 47th Wing of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army was almost completely wiped out. On the 20th, a large-scale fierce battle broke out in Coffin Mountain, more than 2,000 people of a regiment of the Chinese defenders fought with three brigades of the Japanese army, and the battle lasted until late at night on the 20th, only five people of the 89th Regiment of the defenders withdrew from Coffin Mountain, and more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers were killed.

At the same time, after the 107th and 101st Divisions forcibly crossed the Xiushui River, they broke through the defenders' defensive line and killed Nanchang with an absolute superiority of troops, and on March 26, the Japanese army surrounded Nanchang City in a roundabout way. Xue Yue sent an urgent telegram to Zhou Lei of the 31st Group Army with the strength of 11 divisions and the main force of Guan Linzheng's 37th Army to attack the Japanese army from eastern Hunan and southern Hunan, killing and wounding tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, and finally failed to block the defense line of the Japanese army on Tupo. On 27 March, the 32nd Army guarding Nanchang was forced to abandon Nanchang under the attack of the powerful Japanese army.

When Su Jin came to the Ninth Theater Headquarters located in the west of the city, he found that the atmosphere in the headquarters was much more tense than before, and the busy staff officers showed serious expressions on their faces, and when he walked to the war room, he saw Xue Yue holding the phone and training people with a stiff face, Su Jin didn't disturb him, just stood behind him and waited quietly.

"I don't care what method you use, Pingjiang must be defended, as soon as Pingjiang loses Changsha, it will be directly exposed to the Japanese. What the...... Too many casualties? I don't want casualties, I just want Pingjiang, and your 32nd Army will hold Pingjiang even if it is gone! ”

"Snap" put down the phone, Xue Yue turned around and saw Su Jin standing behind him, his originally tense face eased down, and he beckoned to Su Jin, "Think twice, you're here, sit down!" ”

Su Jin stepped forward and took two steps and said loudly: "Report to the commander, Su Jin, the commander of the Shandong Independent Brigade, has come to report, please give the commander a lecture!" (To be continued.) )
