Chapter 80: Smoke Bombs?
The most important thing is that this Japanese army is armed in plainclothes and carries a radio station. According to the rules of military communication known to Li Ziyuan, the failure to communicate at the specified time means that there is likely to be a problem. Especially for such a small unit operating alone, it is completely possible to judge that they have had an accident.
According to the traitor's confession, this group of Japanese plainclothes armed forces, and the contact time with the intelligence department of the Japanese army in Changzhi. When I turned on the radio station myself, the allotted communication time had long since passed. However, when the intelligence department of the Japanese army in Changzhi resumed communication and contact, it did not ask about the reason for missing the specified communication and contact time, and this was undoubtedly a big problem.
This is precisely contrary to the most basic common sense and the most important discipline of any army, radio communications. Virtually all armies, as long as they are not rabble or purely illiterate, have exceptionally strict rules on radio communications.
Among them, communication and liaison are strictly in accordance with the prescribed time, which is the first disciplinary requirement. Radio is a double-edged sword, that is, it can ensure fast and convenient communication over long distances, but it is also easy to be intercepted and leaked by adversaries, and even lock the general area of the headquarters. Therefore, the general military has strict regulations on radio communication, communication time and password.
For an army with extremely strict training such as the Japanese army, it is basically unlikely that the prescribed communication time will be exceeded and no one will care. If this is a simple mistake, it is even more unlikely. Military discipline is military discipline, and military discipline is military discipline.
To say that the Japanese army has poor military discipline is to deal with the Chinese. In the face of Chinese burning, killing and plundering, it was the Japanese army that consciously indulged military discipline in order to improve the morale of the army. But the Japanese army's own military discipline was extremely strict, and it could even be said that it was extremely ruthless.
For an army like the Japanese army, which has strict military discipline and is severely punished for losing a small part of a weapon, it is almost inconceivable that such a low-level mistake will occur. If communication and liaison could be taken so lightly, I am afraid that the Japanese army would not have been able to rampage on the Chinese battlefield until now.
At the same time, at such a close distance, it is impossible for the Japanese puppet army in the mountainous area in the eastern part of Hubei not to find that this plainclothes team has been completely wiped out. Moreover, with the Japanese army's own communication and liaison capabilities, it is even more impossible for the Japanese military intelligence department in Changzhi City not to receive a report for such a long time.
Then after the intelligence department of the Japanese army in Changzhi received a report that the plainclothes squad was wiped out and the radio and codebook were lost, the content of this telegram was quite suspicious. The delay from his encounter with this unit, coupled with the retreat and the interrogation of the prisoners, was enough for the Japanese intelligence to respond.
If you don't understand this at all, Li Ziyuan was in northwest Sichuan, and he had been mixing with those experienced teachers of the Red Army University for almost a whole year. Therefore, the news mentioned in this telegram that the Japanese puppet army, which was currently sweeping up the mountainous area in the eastern part of Hubei, was about to retreat, and Li Ziyuan, who had figured out a trace of unusual meaning, did not believe it at all.
But what exactly is the intention of this telegram? Is it to confuse yourself and create conditions for the Japanese puppet army in the mountainous areas east of Hubei to sweep closely, or is it just to test whether the radio station and password have fallen into your hands? Could the Japanese army have worked out such a tight chain so quickly?
After all, it is impossible for the Japanese army to grasp in detail that they can drum up radio stations and understand some information about the use of radio stations. I don't even know that in a small army like myself, there are still people who can understand Japanese. If the Japanese army's intelligence system had been so sensitive, it is estimated that he would have died a long time ago.
But if the Japanese military intelligence department reacted so quickly and could make such a judgment in the shortest possible time, then the person in charge of the intelligence department was really terrible. Li Ziyuan had an intuition that the Japanese army's telegram had two purposes. The first is to test whether the radio station and the password have fallen into their own hands. The second intention should still be to release smoke bombs for the Japanese puppet army in Hubei. These two intentions should be interrelated.
I'm afraid that as soon as my radio station is turned on, the little devil will find the abnormality, and then quickly make a judgment and make up his mind directly. You may be able to obtain the communication code between the plainclothes team and its superiors. The password for the communication between this plainclothes team and the Japanese army in Hubei will be obtained.
However, it is absolutely impossible to obtain the communication code between the Japanese intelligence department in Changzhi City and the Japanese puppet army in Hubei. This means that there is absolutely no problem with using some wrists and releasing some smoke bombs. They knew very well that in such a short period of time, it would be impossible for them to hand over this radio station and codebook to their more technically competent superiors.
Even if you take 10,000 steps back, there are people in your army who understand the code and the radio station. However, the technical ability is definitely limited, and there is no ability to rely on a code to decipher the communication and liaison capabilities between other Japanese troops, at most it is just fishing in troubled waters.
Li Ziyuan, who didn't know the existence of Tsuruta Numa, felt a faint chill in his back after pondering this. To be honest, Li Ziyuan is not too worried about Luo Hekanshiro. He had never been afraid of the enemy in the open.
But if the intelligence department of the Japanese army could react and judge so quickly in such a short time, it vaguely felt that it had encountered a most formidable opponent. If these judgments are true, then this guy is really terrible.
If it is still in the main force, I am worried that Li Ziyuan will not be able to take the turn of such an opponent. Because in the main force, when the sky falls, there are superiors on top, and it is not the turn of a company commander to worry about it. But in this pot north, he can't help but pay attention to this opponent. With such an opponent existing, Li Ziyuan felt a lot of pressure.
After confirming this idea, Li Ziyuan hesitated and found Liu Lianming. Let him and Guo Laosan take a small team to the battlefield where they fought against the Japanese plainclothes team to feel the situation and see if the corpses of those Japanese soldiers are still there. If you don't have it, come back and report it immediately.
However, before Liu Lianming set off, Li Ziyuan repeatedly explained the operation and told him to obey Guo Laosan's command. In other words, this operation is dominated by Guo Laosan. During the entire operation, what Guo Laosan said, Liu Lianming had to do. If he acts on his own, even if he wins the battle, he will be punished with the most severe punishment when he returns.
Regarding Li Ziyuan's request, Liu Lianming was a little incomprehensible. But Li Ziyuan has said to him and all the cadres more than once that he must implement the orders of his superiors if he understands them, and if he does not understand them, he must implement them to the letter. Although Liu Lianming did not understand Li Ziyuan's intentions, he could only do it according to Li Ziyuan's request.
Li Ziyuan's explanation was useful. Guo Laosan's almost innate sensitivity to danger can effectively avoid danger in this case. I don't know what the situation is in the west at the moment. Whether there have been any adjustments to the deployment of the little devil's troops, Li Ziyuan is not clear.
Let Guo Laosan lead the team, he can rely on his sensitivity to avoid the ambush of the Japanese puppet army. Especially now that everyone is staggered, this sensitivity can ensure the safety of Liu Lianming and his small team. Although Liu Lianming has rich practical experience, he has a somewhat arrogant personality. If he was to be in command by himself, he would not be ambushed by the Chinese and Japanese puppet armies.
Fighting in mountainous areas with complex terrain, who can guarantee that they can only ambush the enemy, and they will not be ambushed by the enemy? At least without confirming that the Japanese puppet army has really retreated, letting Guo Laosan lead the team can give Liu Lianming and them more guarantees for their safety.
However, considering Liu Lianming's own character, Li Ziyuan specially gave him a death order, otherwise this guy would not have paid attention to Guo Laosan. If he was really that steady, he would have let him take over as a squadron leader a long time ago. It's because of this guy that he is still a little worse off being alone in some aspects.
After Guo Laosan set off with a small team, he rubbed Li Ziyuan, who had a somewhat swollen head. Although he was extremely tired, he didn't dare to rest and leaned on the trunk of a big tree and quietly looked at the mountain opposite. In his heart, he was thinking about what to do next once his judgment was confirmed.
Just when Li Ziyuan was pondering what to do next, Guo Xiaoshan walked up to him with a pot of water and a Japanese army-standard pork kidney lunch box: "Captain, you can eat something." You haven't eaten anything since yesterday afternoon. I specially caught a snake for you and roasted it, you can taste it delicious. ”
Li Ziyuan took the lunch box, habitually rubbed Guo Xiaoshan's head and said, "You kid still dare to catch snakes, and you are not afraid of being bitten by snakes." Although there are not many species of poisonous snakes in this Taihang Mountain, they are not as many poisonous snakes as there are in my hometown. But be careful not to cause non-combat attrition because of a snake. Veteran, now is Lao Tzu's life, do you know? ”
Guo Xiaoshan, who was messily rubbed by Li Ziyuan's hair, pouted and said, "Captain, can you not rub my head." Finally, this hair grew a little longer, and you made it look like a chicken nest. I really don't understand, why do you love Huo Huo's hair? I'm also an adult, and my hair is always messed up by you, which is embarrassing, you know? ”
"And I started to go up the mountain with my father to hunt rabbits and catch snakes since I could go, and if I caught a snake and was bitten, then my father would have to kill me. Besides, the snake that is not poisonous is not delicious, the more poisonous the snake, the more fragrant the snake meat is, it is really kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs. ”
Although Guo Xiaoshan's muttering was very small, Li Ziyuan, who was next to him, could hear it clearly. Seeing that this guy muttered a small mouth, like a girl, Li Ziyuan smiled and rubbed his hair, which was seven long and eight short, and smiled: "You bear child, why are you like a girl, so rare your hair?" ”
"Even if I say this to you, you are also a child. Before the age of eighteen, it's all children who know, right? Okay, don't mumble anywhere. Isn't it okay for me to accept your wishes? But you can't just let me eat alone. Everyone hasn't eaten meat yet, so I, as the captain, have to take the lead. ”
"I'll keep your meal, but I'll send the snake meat to the instructor. She is a lesbian herself, and her body is relatively weak. Now that she is sick again, this snake meat is just right to make up for her, so that she can recover as soon as possible. The snake thing is a little annoying, but I still know that this thing is a big supplement. ”
