Chapter 30: Shock

Shanghai, No. 18 Jisfeier Road. [Full text reading]

Jiang Nan had just taken a nap in his chair when he was woken up.

"Section chief, I've heard a clear signal." The operator Xiao Li said.

"Is there anything special about this clear code signal?" Jiang Nan asked, there are many radio enthusiasts in this era, and all kinds of long-wave and short-wave signals are sent all over the world.

Xiao Li said: "Section chief, you'd better come and have a look." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Li had already translated the Morse code he received.

When Xiao Li handed the copywriting to Jiang Nan, the expression on his face was a little strange.

Jiang Nan took the copying paper and looked at it, his face changed slightly, and he saw that it was written:

Letter to the compatriots of the whole country: At 5:30 a.m. this morning, the 1st Division of the 79th Division successfully ambushed a special train bound for Wuxi in Baoxing Town, killing a total of 389 Japanese soldiers, including a lieutenant general.

Xiao Li whispered: "Section chief, this can't be another prank."

There is no limit to the propagation of radio waves in the air, as long as you have the equipment to transmit and transmit waves, you can receive anyone's radio waves, and the radio waves you send will also be intercepted by anyone.

However, some radio enthusiasts often use unencrypted Morse code to send all kinds of messages, and the Intelligence Technology Section has received many such codes in the past, the most recent being more than three months ago, that is, before the Battle of Songhu, the Intelligence Technology Section suddenly intercepted a piece of code, saying that the Japanese ronin was preparing to assassinate the mayor of Shanghai.

However, upon investigation, it was found that it was just a prank by radio amateurs.

That's why Xiao Li said this, of course, because the content of this message is too scary.

The commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, Toshihiko Fushimiya, who had just arrived in the Japanese army, was the prince of Japan

In the entire Battle of Songhu, 700,000 elites fought with Little Japan for three months, and the highest-ranking devil officer killed was only a big Zuo, a small unit of the provisional 79th Division, and he was able to kill a lieutenant general of the devil Moreover, this lieutenant general is still the prince of the small Japanese imperial family

So, no one believes in the entire technical section.

But Jiang Nan didn't think so, because she found two key words in the message: Bao Xing

At about 5:30 a.m., the Technical Section suddenly monitored a large number of Japanese telegraphic signals to and from the Japanese army, and these communications also repeatedly mentioned a location, which was Baoxing

The time and place were completely consistent with the message in her hand.

If this is really just a prank, it would be too much of a coincidence

Jiang Nan was keenly aware that this message was only true

But Jiangnan did not dare to assert such a big matter, because if this was fake, then the entire Chinese intelligence community and even the whole of China would become a laughing stock.

At the moment, Jiangnan asked Xiao Li to report to the stationmaster Li Hongsong.

Li Hongsong immediately came to the technical department after receiving the report.

"Jiangnan, what do you think" Li Hongsong stared at the telegram in his hand, excited and worried.

Needless to say, if what was said in the telegram is true, then for the whole of China, for the overall situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, it is definitely a shot in the arm, the current China, due to the continuous rout of the battlefields in North China and East China, the morale of the people has fallen to a low level, and the argument of surrender is very loud, and a victory is really needed.

However, Li Hongsong was a little worried, if this was fake, the loss of face would be a small matter, which would seriously dampen the morale of the people and make the situation of the War of Resistance more difficult, but he could not afford this responsibility

Thinking of this, Li Hongsong couldn't help but sigh and said: "Alas, if we have deciphered the Japanese army's cipher code, we can directly confirm it from the Japanese army's correspondence, how good it would be"

Jiang Nandao: "The stationmaster, even if he has not deciphered the ciphercode, he can also verify it"

"Oh" Li Hongsong suddenly perked up when he heard this, and said, "Jiangnan, how to verify"

Jiang Nan's beautiful big eyes showed a strange look, and said: "Whether what is said in the telegram is true or not, we will find out in five minutes."

"Five minutes" Li Hongsong looked up at the clock on the wall and stopped making a sound.

The entire office fell silent, except for the clatter of the wall clock.

Time, in a suffocating wait, passed slowly, and five minutes passed quickly.

Li Hongsong turned his gaze to Jiangnan again, and was about to speak, but several telegraph operators guarding the transmitter got up at the same time and reported to Jiangnan: "Section chief, the signal of the Japanese army has suddenly been interrupted. ”

Jiang Nan's expression suddenly perked up when he heard this, and he said hurriedly: "All signals are interrupted"

Several operators looked at each other and replied, "Yes, all signals are interrupted"

"Stationmaster" Jiangnan Huo Ran turned around and said to Li Hongsong, "I can now be sure that this telegram is true, and the commander of the Japanese army's Shanghai Dispatch Army, Fushimi Palace Toshihiko, must have been killed."

"What about the reason," Li Hongsong was still a little skeptical.

"The reason is simple." Jiang Nan said, "Previously, we suddenly monitored a large number of communication signals between the Japanese army, which can only indicate one problem, that is, there has been a sudden change on the part of the Japanese army, and these communication signals must be the Japanese army command is in contact with the divisions below, with the intention of resolving the crisis." ”

Li Hongsong said: "This doesn't mean anything. ”

"In addition, although we have not been able to completely decipher the latest cipher code used by the Japanese army, we have also deciphered a part, from which we can know that the place where the Japanese army changed was in Baoxing" Jiang Nan raised the telegram in his hand, and said, "What is said in this telegram is also in Baoxing ambushed the Japanese army, if this is really a prank, it is too much of a coincidence."

After a pause, Jiang Nan continued: "Also, the communication signal of the Japanese army was suddenly interrupted just now, which can only mean one problem, that is, the crisis of the Japanese army has been lifted, or it has been irretrievably Combined with the above three points, I am sure that this message is true, and Fushimi Palace Toshihiko must have been killed."

"It makes sense" Li Hongsong was persuaded, and said excitedly, "I'll report to Nanjing"

The telegram from the Fuxing Society soon arrived in Nanjing, and then was immediately delivered to Chairman Chiang.

After Chairman Chiang saw this, the shock in his heart can be imagined, and the killing of Fushimi Miya, the commander of the Japanese army's Shanghai Dispatch Army, is incredible; although it may not have a substantial impact on the war situation, the impact on the international and domestic situation is incalculable; after the news spreads, Japan will inevitably mourn all over the country, and China will inevitably have high morale.

Little Japan also wants to destroy China within three months and dream of its big autumn dreams

Chairman Chiang immediately ordered the good news to be broadcast to the whole country

Dividing line

It was not only Chairman Chiang who was shocked, but also the commander of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army, Matsui Ishine.

When Matsui Ishone first received the report of the attack on Toshihiko Fushiminomiya's special train, he didn't care.

Because the place where Fushimi Palace's special train was attacked was near Wuxi, at this time, the vanguard of the Japanese army had already passed Changzhou and was about to reach Zhenjiang, and Wuxi had actually become the rear of the Japanese army.

That is to say, it is no longer possible to have a large army in the vicinity of Wuxi.

Therefore, Matsui Ishine never thought that there would be any accidents with Fushiminomiya Toshihiko's special train.

However, what happened next was completely unexpected.

In less than ten minutes, Fushimi Palace Toshihiko sent three urgent telegrams to the Front Army Headquarters in a row, requesting the Front Army Headquarters to urgently send troops to rescue, Matsui Ishine realized that the situation was serious, Fushimi Palace Toshihiko was a child of the royal family, and pride was almost integrated into his bone marrow, if it was not a last resort. He couldn't have called for help three times in ten minutes

Therefore, Matsui Shigen hurriedly ordered the troops near Wuxi to rush to the aid of Baoxing.

Matsui Ishine originally thought that there were two squadrons of guards around Fushiminomiya Toshihiko, and these two squadrons were equipped with all German-made 36 Schmadt submachine guns, so no matter how bad the situation was, it would be no problem to hold out for two hours, and at that time, the Tachibana Wing stationed in Wuxi had already arrived.

However, the development of the situation once again exceeded Matsui's expectations.

Half an hour, just half an hour, I received a farewell telegram from Toshihiko Fushiminomiya

Half an hour, just half an hour, Fushimi Palace Toshihiko's two heavily armed guard squadrons were completely annihilated, and the shock in Matsui Shigen's heart can be imagined.

This is which squadron is so strong in combat

Then, before Matsui Ishine could figure out how to report the incident to the base camp, the communications office received a clear telegram from the squadron using Fushiminomiya Toshihiko's radio to inform the world in advance that Fushiminomiya Toshihiko had been killed in Baoxing Town.

At this time, Matsui Shigen was not only shocked, but even more angry

Matsui Ishine was so angry that he swept all the furnishings on his desk to the ground.

It's too arrogant, it's too arrogant, it's a provisional seventy-ninth division, I remember you

Major General Tsukada Tsukashi, chief of staff of the Central China Front, heard the noise in the office and pushed the door and walked in.

"Tsukada-san, you're just in time." Matsui Ishine looked back at Tsukada Tsukashi, hiding behind thick myopic glasses with a cold and faint glint in his small eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Immediately convene the commanders of various departments and divisions in Shanghai to convene an emergency military meeting to discuss the aftermath." ”

"Hello." Tsukada paused for a heavy attack, and said, "Your Excellency, the rescue departments that have been dispatched"

"Let the 6th Infantry Wing send a unit to Baoxing Town to deal with the aftermath, and the rest of the units will return to their original positions first." Matsui Shigen sighed again after speaking, Fushimi Palace Toshihiko is dead, what else to save Now it is no longer about saving people, but how to exterminate the squadron of the provisional 79th Division.

"Hello." Tsukada paused again and turned to go.

Seeing Tsukada's figure go out, Matsui Ishone walked to the map posted on the wall again.

Matsui Shigen first found Wuxi and Baoxing on the map, and then said viciously: "Temporarily organize the 79th Division, I will definitely wipe you off the face of the earth" Shanghai, No. 18 Jisfeier Road.

Jiang Nan had just taken a nap in his chair when he was woken up.

"Section chief, I've heard a clear signal." The operator Xiao Li said.
