Chapter 503: Is It a Game, or Is It War?
November 28, 1941. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info in the north mountain of Yichun City.
Now the mountains have been covered by heavy snow, and the leaves of the deciduous trees are gone, bare, and the mountains are covered with snow. The roads in the mountains are buried in the snow, and if it is sunny today, the mountains are very quiet and the sky is blue.
It is a very steep mountain, and there is a road on the north side of the mountain, and the other sides are densely forested. Originally, because of the steep mountain, it was not easy to produce wood, so few people went in and out. In recent years, this large area has been opened up as a military exclusion zone, and it has become even more inaccessible.
The southeast slope of the mountain is a piece of cliffs, the northeast dialect is called Lizi, and the front end of Lizi is called Lizitou. One of them, which is not very high, has several glass windows between the stones if you look closely.
There is a higher mountain peak on the north side of the head, and there is a tall wooden tower on the peak, if you go up to the top of the wooden tower, you will see the antenna above, which is very complicated.
In this era, antennas are bulky, because there are no transistors, tube devices are bulky and power-hungry. A communication tower, usually a communication station, is guarded by a dozen soldiers.
And this antenna is not so bulky, can it receive a signal?
Underneath the Lizi is one of Yichun's extensive underground cave systems, with the entrance at the other end of the mountain, and the cave chamber is very spacious, with more than a dozen people in it.
These people have been living here for a month. They don't talk to the outside world by phone, telegraph, or communicate, and even cook by themselves, that is, they are isolated from the world. Although there are more than a dozen of them, there is a chess and card room next door, and there is a workout equipment room.
However, these dozen or so people have no emotion of isolation from the world, they are playing games, although they are all adults, but they are all serious. Everyone did a lot of sleep and food in the game, and they all had unshaven beards.
They are all from the staff headquarters of the Northeast Coalition Army, and there are also commanders of the command headquarters. In the game, their positions are not simple, some are the Japanese chief of staff, some are the commander of the US Pacific Fleet, some are the Northeast Coalition Staff Headquarters, some are the Yan'an General Headquarters, some are the Soviet Union's political and political bureaus, some are the Chongqing government, and some are the British Pacific Theater and the South Asia Command.
The reason for the incident is this: In recent times, the various organs of the Northeast Coalition Army have expanded rapidly, and the troops have expanded rapidly. Because there are few combat missions, in addition to intermittent production tasks, it is a full-day training mission. To train officers is to train them to command, including the development of battle plans.
More than a month ago, Xiao Lu ordered that more than a dozen of them be selected to play games in isolation. The game has characters, which are the current military command departments of various countries, and the scene of the game is the current political and military evolution of various countries in the world. There are two main issues: first, if Japan wants to launch a surprise attack on the United States, how will it do so? How is the world situation evolving? Second, if Japan attacks the United States, how will the Northeast Coalition act to maximize its benefits?
At the beginning, everyone was a little uncomfortable, and Xiaolu organized people to send basic political, economic and military information of various countries to everyone every other day, and then sent the cultures of various countries
Data and historical military data, especially in the history of the army, how wars were fought and decisions were made.
With this information, these people gradually entered the state, and in the third week, they made three sets of preliminary plans. Xiaolu got the news and came alone to listen to the report. To Xiaolu's surprise, one of them was a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor Pacific Command, and two were a surprise attack on a military port near San Francisco and a military port near Seattle.
Without exception, they were sneak attacks, not surprise attacks.
In several plans, they imagined the United States to be very powerful, with at least one-third of the losses of the sneak attackers, and some of them were completely annihilated.
Either way, their inferences about Chongqing are correct, and their inferences about Britain are correct, almost exactly the same as history.
With regard to the countermeasures of the Yan'an and Northeast Coalition Forces, they unanimously agreed that a war should be fought in different locations, some of which would attack small and medium-sized cities in Northeast China, some of which would liberate Northeast China, and some of which would not only liberate Northeast China but also liberate the Soviet Far East and completely defeat the Japanese Kwantung Army.
Xiao Lu sighed at the ingenuity of these people and rolled with them for three days. He did not participate in the development of the program, but asked questions, and asked more than 100 questions about the three programs. When leaving, the three plans were abbreviated into a 1,000-word telegram and sent to Yan'an.
These more than 100 problems greatly stimulated the competitive spirit of the staff officers, and they began to study the second plan, and this time it was optimized for half a month, and they made two plans. After Xiaolu and them studied it again, they spent another ten days and came up with a plan.
Each plan was sent to the Northeast Coalition Army Command for study, and it was also reported to Yan'an. At the same time, Yan'an forwarded these plans to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and these plans also aroused the interest of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and he also began to organize outstanding staff officers to study similar topics.
The third plan turned out to be exactly the same as history, the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet attacked Pearl Harbor, this time the sneak attack broke the United States in the Pacific, and at the same time, Japan launched wars in various parts of the Pacific, invaded Hong Kong, Singapore and other places. Britain was passive and retreated, while the United States abandoned its appeasement policy, rebuilt the Pacific Fleet, and counterattacked Japan with huge forces. Japan mobilized troops from all over the country and entered the Pacific War.
For the actions of our army, the plan mobilized the Northeast Coalition Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the New Fourth Army to take the opportunity to attack in all directions, encircle the cities from the countryside, and liberate Northeast China, North China, East China, and the Far East of the Soviet Union in a few years, and return them to the Soviet Union.
After getting the third plan, Xiaolu came to the cave and visited everyone. Everyone looked at him coming again and said, "Commander-in-chief, how is our plan this time?" ”
Xiaolu said: "This time, I came to tell you that your plan has been submitted to Yan'an, and it has also been forwarded to the headquarters of the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army." Because we did receive information that Japan was going to attack the United States in the near future, how is the situation in the world going to evolve in this situation, and how are we going to respond? We are very inspired by your proposal. It can be said that your level is on par with that of the staff officers of the four major powers, and our work in the next few months will largely be carried out in accordance with your plan. ”
The crowd fell silent and began to think.
Xiaolu reminded: "There is applause here. ”
Everyone reacted and applauded. It turned out that we received such a high level of affirmation, and we applauded warmly.
Xiaolu said: "I have been living here for the past few days, if you want, you can continue to make plans, mainly the specific plans of our Northeast Coalition Army." ”
A staff officer said: "Our plan is so good, is there a reward?" ”
Xiaolu said: "Yes." This time I came alone, and the car was full of prizes. There is applause here. ”
A few people listened, but no one applauded and hurriedly ran away. There are prizes, who has the heart to applaud?
Why should these staff officers be allowed to extrapolate the development of the war situation?
Xiao Lu had a different mind this time. Instead of wasting their minds and studying the strategies to deal with it in the future, it is better to let the staff officers work out some alternative strategies and combat plans. Just guide yourself. In this way, even if you leave by yourself in the future, you will have a satisfactory strategy.
I believe that a few people in Yan'an understand his intentions.
Xiao Lu carried a large backpack and went to his room. His room was dug out of a cave in the middle of nowhere. It turned out that when digging this cave, the digging was off, and along the weak rock layer in the middle of the rock formation, a cliff was dug. It's narrow, you can't do anything else, just put the window on the shore and make it a bedroom.
There is a special place in this bedroom that the antenna outside is connected. Xiaolu entered the bedroom, took out a radio set from his backpack, and connected the antenna he had set up earlier.
This is a set of future radio stations brought by Xiaolu, and the people of the future will use advanced technology to make backward means of communication, and naturally there are many advanced means, and soon after the radio station was opened, hundreds of radio stations with different signal strengths and weaknesses were searched.
Xiaolu also brought with him a previously deciphered Japanese codebook.
The time for the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor was approaching. Xiaolu simply hid in a cave, he wanted to make the wind and rain and mess up the situation, only chaos, the Northeast had a chance, China had a chance.
Xiao Lu's eyes were fixed on Tokyo, staring at Hawaii, and his advanced radio station began to search for a new number, automatically identifying a large number of signals and transmitting them to the computer, and the program on the computer automatically ran to decrypt the messages.
This is a special software. In the days of the trail, signals were transmitted using some fixed codes. And now, these signals have not yet been born. The software is specialized in analyzing telegraph signals, and after some development by the Committee of 100, it can translate Japanese, English, and Chinese.
This set of software is really powerful, although there are some mistakes, but with the correction of the path, it is very smooth, and in less than two days after moving in, most of the passwords of the Japanese army have been unlocked.
On the third day, Xiaolu found telegrams from the U.S. Pacific Fleet, telegrams from Chongqing, and telegrams from Japan. The telegraph signals were so vast that Koji focused his attention on the Japanese telegraph signals. Soon, he found a telegram that the Japanese army should communicate with various places. Most telegrams are answered, and there are even those that have just been recorded incorrectly, please resend them.
However, there is one telegram signal that is different, this one is powerful, it is only sent, it is sent twice each time, no one receives it, no one answers. In addition, this telegram signal is not very regular and is sent at a different time.
Koji keenly felt that he had seized the connection between the Japanese naval base camp and the sneak attack on the aircraft carrier fleet.
Next, it's time to decipher their signals. Unfortunately, the telegrams sent by this signal were not only few, but also concise. If you run it once, you can give several or even a dozen answers.
By the time Xiaolu figured out the pattern of this signal, it was already December 7th, local time.
The trail is going to do something with the telegraph. The reason why he ran to this high mountain was so that his signal could be received by the Japanese fleet far away in the core of the Pacific Ocean.
What he has to do, only he knows. He is the only one who knows. He wants to inflict greater and more complete losses on the US Pacific Fleet. To do this, he gave up everything he was doing.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of those clever staff officers, he gave them a large number of deciphered telegram materials for their reference. Seeing that the commander-in-chief was studying the movements of Chongqing and the movements of the Japanese army, everyone's curiosity was gone, and all that was left was admiration: the commander-in-chief was too powerful, how could he decipher so many telegrams?
