Historically, because the telegram was deciphered by the Japanese, Zhang Zizhong's five divisions under the group army and the location of the group army headquarters were exposed, surrounded by the troops sent by Sonobe and Ichiro, and finally died heroically in the pumpkin shop.

And in this time and space, due to the instigation of Su Jin's butterfly, the trajectory of history has changed a lot. First of all, the emergence of the Enigma cipher machine has greatly strengthened the telegraph secrecy and mining robbery of the national government and the army. Moreover, in order to ensure that the cipher machine does not fall into the hands of the Japanese army, Chairman Chiang also made a series of regulations: Each cipher machine must be closely guarded by three people 24 hours a day, and once there is a possibility of falling into the hands of the enemy, the cipher machine must be blown up as soon as possible.

So far, the Japanese army has been at a loss for this kind of cipher machine and a cipher that is so complex that there are a trillion possibilities, so almost all the cryptographic experts in the Japanese Cryptography Research Institute located in the Palace Museum in Beiping are worried.

The secrecy of the telegram has been greatly kept secret in the case of the Japanese army can only be beaten to the spy, history is always strikingly similar, this time the Japanese army relied on the spy to figure out the location of Zhang Zizhong's headquarters, and also launched an attack in the pumpkin shop, and it seemed that it was about to succeed, but first the Japanese army who was originally ordered to assist in the attack was beaten by the sudden appearance of the Chinese Air Force, and more than a dozen bombers and fighters were almost all shot down. This is not the end, the infantry 231 Wing that launched the attack immediately after was blown up by the dive bombers that suddenly appeared, and the 231 Wing, which was originally imposing, was bombed with heavy losses, and finally the wing commander Yuyoshi Fukunaga could only watch the other party retreat westward under the cover of the sky fighters.

20 p.m. on August 16. Shoichi Amano took the urgent telegram from the 39th Division and the 3rd Flying Division to the outside of Kazuichiro Sonobe's room and knocked on the bedroom door.

Sonobe and Ichiro were too nervous to stay in the operational headquarters for the past two days, and today they received a telegram from the 39th Division that the battle was going well. Feeling that he was about to finish, he wanted to relax, so after dinner, he called a group of geisha from Tokyo to watch them perform folk songs and dances, and after watching the performance, he left a sixteen-year-old girl to stay with him. It's just that this geisha is still young and won't cooperate, which makes the garden department much less interested.

The garden was originally like a seizure, but when I saw the girl's immature face, I couldn't bear to scold her after thinking that she was about the same age as her own daughter. So he told the girl to sleep for a while, and when she woke up, she would do it again, and then the two fell asleep on the tatami mats. It's just that he was just asleep when he was woken up by a knock on the door from Shochi Tano.

Kazuichiro Sonobe, who was awakened, opened his eyes and asked in a stiff tone, "What the hell is going on, can't you wait until tomorrow?" ”

Maseichi Amano replied outside the door: "Your Excellency Commander, the 39th Division is in an emergency. Zhang Zizhong has already highlighted our encirclement from the pumpkin shop. Now he is fleeing towards the return area. ”

"Whoa......

As soon as Maseichi Amano finished speaking, he heard the sound of something falling from the house, and soon Kazuichiro Sonobe jumped out of bed with his clothes on, opened the door, and snatched the telegram in Amano's hand. Turning on the light and looking at the contents of the telegram, Kazuichiro Sonobe showed an unbelievable look on his face: "What the hell is going on, didn't Murakami Keisaku (commander of the 39th Division) just send a telegram this morning, saying that everything is going well in the war, why did Zhang Zizhong suddenly run away?" And why is it so vague on the telegram, what the hell is Keisaku Murakami doing? ”

Looking at the angry expressions of Kazuichiro Sonobe. Amano Masaichi looked stunned, and said with some muttering: "According to the report of the 231 Wing. They had already broken through several lines of defense of the Chinese army, and when they were about to completely annihilate Zhang Zizhong's headquarters, the Chinese air force suddenly appeared, they couldn't help but disperse the imperial air force, and then severely damaged the 231 Wing, and the wing commander Yuyoshi Fukunaga had to order a halt to the attack, and at this time Zhang Zizhong took his remnants to highlight the encirclement of the imperial army. ”

Speaking of this, Amano Shoichi stood by the door with his hands down, not daring to look at the garden.

Hearing this, Sonobe Kazuichiro was furious, seeing that the cooked duck flew away, no matter how hard he tried to suppress his anger, it would be useless, he crumpled the telegram in his hand into a ball and slammed it on Amano Shoichi's body and scolded angrily: "Fukunaga Yukichi is afraid of death, Murakami Keisaku is incompetent, you immediately send a report to the 39th Division, order him to catch up immediately, and you must leave Zhang Zizhong to me at all costs!" By the way, all divisions and regiments were ordered to change their battle plans to cooperate with the actions of the 39th Division, understand? ”

"Hay!"

Amano bowed and saluted, and then said with some embarrassment: "Your Excellency Commander, but it's already midnight, and the 39th Division is now on the march, and it's not the time to contact them, so we can't contact them in time!" ”

"Yaga!"

Kazuichiro Sonobe scolded angrily: "Won't you do this little thing yourself? Find a way to inform them yourself! With that, he closed the door and took the young geisha, who had already sat up in his clothes, in his arms, and he was so angry that he now desperately needed to vent.

Amano Shoichi has followed Okamura Ninji for many years, and now comparing Amano Shoichi and Okamura Ninji knows that the garden department is a mediocre talent, and he is very disgusted with the performance of the garden department at this time, and he wants to give the garden department a problem, but he is afraid of delaying the big thing. After thinking for a while, he ran to the war room to answer Jingmen's phone and ordered the Third Cavalry Wing to send telegrams to each division, and then he reported today's incident to the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters and sent a telegram to report today's battle situation.

The news of the defeat of the 231 Wing in the pumpkin shop not only made Sonobe Kazuichiro furious, but also shocked the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters, and Tada Jun, who received the news, immediately called Ishihara Waner to discuss together.

Ishihara was silent for a long time after looking at the thousand-word telegram sent by Shoichi Amano.

Tada, who was a little anxious, asked, "Ishihara-kun, what do you think about this matter?" ”

After being silent for a long time, Ishihara Wan'er said slowly: "It was originally right to launch the Battle of Zaoyi this time, and it was not wrong for Sonobe-kun to want to eliminate Zhang Zizhong, the fault was the sudden appearance of the China Air Force, and it was this Air Force that changed the results of the victory that was already in sight." But now Yuanbu-kun did not obey the orders of the base camp to attack Yichang, but ordered the troops to pursue Zhang Zizhong, which in itself is a manifestation of the end of the book, this garden-kun is really not as good as Okamura-kun! ”

Looking at Ishihara's emotion, Tada Jun couldn't help but cry and laugh a little, "Ishihara-kun, I didn't call you over to let you accuse the garden department, since the battle situation of the Eleventh Army is unfavorable, we should always do something, right?" ”

"Do something?" A sneer appeared on Ishihara's face: "What else can we do?" The Eleventh Army has its own command of Sonobe and Ichiro, so we can't interfere with his command, and now we have more important things to do. ”

Tada Jun blurted out, "What's the matter?" ”

Ishihara said with a solemn expression: "Tada-kun, don't you think it's very strange that the fighter plane that suddenly appeared this time?" It has been nearly half a year, and the people of China have not dared to take the initiative to fight with the air forces of the Empire, and now a China Air Force including bombers and fighter formations has suddenly appeared. ”

"Huh...... That's right! Being reminded by Ishihara Wan'er, Tada Jun reflected that the Huaxia Air Force, which had disappeared for more than half a year, suddenly reappeared, and could it be that they could not get the support of any country.

Tada Jun shook his head after thinking about it: "Now all the coasts of China have fallen into the hands of the empire, and with the efforts of the empire, Western countries have adopted an arms embargo on China, and if Western countries want to transport weapons into China, they can only use the passage of Myanmar. I believe that no country is really boring, then the only ones left are the Soviets...... Yes, it's those Soviets! ”

Speaking of this, a trace of anger appeared on Tadajun's face, the current Kwantung Army and the Soviets are fighting in the Battle of Nomenkan, and these planes must have been sent by the Soviets to the Kannai battlefield to cause chaos for the Japanese army.

Ishihara Wan'er was a little noncommittal about Tadajun's speculation, he thought for a while and said: "It's useless to just guess about this matter, now the Kwantung Army in Manchuria is fighting fiercely with the Soviets, and a few days ago the base camp is drawing troops from the Kannai battlefield to Manchuria, this battle of Zaoyi is not going on at the right time, and it will end in a tiger's tail." I suggest that you still telegraph Yuanbu-kun, and wait for the opportunity to end the battle of Zaoyi, I always have a bad premonition, and we are in trouble. ”

Perhaps Ishihara had a talent for crow's beak, and half an hour later, a telegram fulfilled his prediction.

"Nani, those sudden Chinese fighters were actually photographed by the 202nd Army? How can they have an air force, this can't be? ”

Tada Jun, who saw the telegram, was so surprised that he almost jumped up, and the sudden news made the atmosphere in the office dull, and I don't know how long it took for Ishihara Wan'er to grit his teeth before his voice sounded: "Tada-kun, it seems that the situation has changed, it seems that this battle of Zaoyi is going to end ahead of schedule, please order the end of the battle of Zaoyi immediately, otherwise that Su Jin will definitely be a moth again!" ”

Ishihara was right, once anything started, it was easy to get out of control, and the German instructors who had tasted the sweetness took the initiative to ask for continued bombing of the Japanese army the next day without the supervision of the Soviet commander...... (To be continued.) )
