Chapter 192: Wei Qidong's sense of smell
Matsui Ishine and the others were cautious all the way, trying to find some remote places to walk, and they went out day and night, and finally, after a few days, they arrived at the coast of Nantong, and then turned on the radio and sent a radio message to the Japanese fleet. After getting a response, the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info immediately shut down the radio station again.
So, the group found a hidden place to hide, and only sent one or two people to keep an eye on the coast.
In the past few days, the Chinese army has begun to speed up the encirclement and suppression of the remaining Japanese troops, and the pace of the offensive has obviously accelerated. However, in order to launch an attack, the consumption of materials and ammunition of the Chinese army was also very large, and Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi could not afford to lend them, so the artillery shells needed to be found by Nanjing.
It was precisely because of the lack of heavy weapons and ammunition that the offensive of the Chinese army eased somewhat, so it also gave the Japanese army a little respite. In addition, the Japanese army has been compressed in two small places along the Yangtze River and Chongming Island, although the Chinese army is huge, it cannot be fully deployed in such a small area, so it cannot give full play to the advantage of sufficient forces.
The Japanese army was a battle of life and death, so they were completely desperate, and for various reasons, the Chinese army could not quickly eliminate the remaining Japanese troops.
The battle in Shanghai basically didn't have to worry about Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi, so the main goals of the two of them were two at this time, one was to attack the Japanese flotilla retreating from the sea, and the other was to intercept the Japanese planes that airdropped supplies. Due to the tacit cooperation, the losses caused to the Japanese fleet and Japanese planes during this period were also very huge.
Tang Xinyi was still in charge of the electronic reconnaissance station and radar, and suddenly, her eyebrows raised, and she said to Wei Qidong on the side, "Brother Dong, it's so strange, I intercepted a strange piece of information. ”
"Oh?" Wei Qidong looked over and immediately asked, "What's strange?" ”
"The location of this information is in Nantong, and the signal source was turned on for a short time, and then disappeared after a while." Tang Xinyi said.
Wei Qidong took the intercepted intelligence content and took a general look, "This is not our army's intelligence code, the style is very similar to that of a little devil." ”
It is easy to intercept information, but it is not easy to decipher it, and a lot of information may be junk and useless information, and it will be a waste of time if you spend a lot of effort to decipher it and find nothing. Therefore, in the work of deciphering intelligence, it is necessary not only to test the ability of intelligence personnel to decipher, but also to test their vision and whether they can accurately find useful information among the countless pieces of information.
"Continue to pay attention to the situation in that direction, and I'll find a way to decipher the ......" Although there are other things to do at the moment, through experience, Wei Qidong feels that this information should not be simple.
Nantong is not a strategic place, and at this time it is firmly in the hands of China, and it has not suffered from war, so why did the Japanese run here to send information? What's more, judging from the location of the signal source, it is near the coastline, which gives Wei Qidong some warnings. Because the distance of radio transmission is very long, even if the Japanese want to send a telegram, they can hide in a deep and secret place in Nantong to send it, and it is relatively safe.
Nowadays, the Japanese army's retreat in Shanghai is mainly by sea, so is this information also related to the sea retreat? This was the focus of Wei Qidong's attention, so he decided to decipher it with all his might.
After the Chinese army captured Chongming Island, the Japanese base camp stopped the airdrop mission, because the Chinese and Japanese armies were already intertwined, and the area was small, and the role of the airdrop was no longer large, and many materials were directly airdropped to the positions of the Chinese army. The remaining nearly 50,000 Japanese troops could only rely on themselves.
The highest-ranking soldier of Ogisu, who had already taken over the command, handed over the retreat to one of his subordinates, and he himself led the army to continue the dying struggle.
On the night of December 19, Wei Qidong, who was already very tired, suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, and then became brighter and brighter, as if he understood something all of a sudden.
"Brother Dong, how is it? Deciphered out? Tang Xinyi was paying attention to the work of the electronic reconnaissance station and radar, and at the same time accompanying Wei Qidong, she was also very tired, and Wei Qidong persuaded her to rest several times, but she did not agree.
"There are little devils who want to retreat by sea from the coast of Nantong...... Wei Qidong said.
"Oh? Where did the little devil come from? Is it from Shanghai? Tang Xinyi was a little surprised.
"The content of the intelligence is not shown, but it is very likely."
"However, Shanghai is so far away from Nantong, and our army has surrounded the little devils, so it shouldn't be so easy for the little devils to break through. Could it be a little devil who will come from other directions? Seeing that there is nothing to be done in Central China, why do you have to retreat in a hurry? Tang Xinyi guessed.
"This should be unlikely, in the entire Central China region, the only little devils who need to retreat urgently are from Shanghai. As for the little devil spies hiding in the rest of the cities, there is no need to think about retreating at this time, even if Shanghai is quickly taken by us, the intelligence work of the little devils in Central China will not be greatly affected. And the little devils also need these spies to continue their work, so it is impossible to remove these people. ”
"As for Shanghai, the situation is very complicated, although there are 780,000 Chinese troops, but it is not realistic to want to watch every place. It is very likely that the number of this little devil is not large, and they are absconding in disguise, if they are pretending to be Chinese, I am afraid that we may not be able to distinguish them ourselves. ”
Tang Xinyi nodded when she heard this, feeling that Wei Qidong was very reasonable.
"Is there any information on the specific location and time of the rendezvous?" Tang Xinyi asked.
"No, I guess I didn't decipher it. There are two hidden words that I don't fully understand what they mean, and this should be the first time the little devil has used it, so it is a little difficult to decipher it in a short time. Wei Qidong said with a sigh.
"Since the little devils sent this telegram when they arrived at the beach, it means that they are very secretive about this operation, and the time left for us is probably very short."
Wei Qidong nodded, "I think the same way, so I can't wait for the information to be deciphered before acting, it will be too late." ”
"Brother Dong, you want to act according to this ambiguous intelligence? Isn't that too difficult? ”
"There's no way, you can't miss some opportunities because of difficulties. Xinyi, I'm going to drive the Apache to the sea area over there to search and decipher the uncracked information, and I'll leave it to you for the time being. The Tornado rocket artillery will stop attacking for the time being, the little devil doesn't have much energy to carry out a large-scale retreat. ”
Tang Xinyi thought about it and didn't persuade again.
However, before the operation, Wei Qidong informed the Nanjing side to send some troops to search the area of the signal source, although it may not be able to catch people, but it may be able to deceive some movement.
