At this point, Yang Zhen turned his finger from Tongliao to the Wengniute Left Banner: "Lao Guo, you are right. If I hadn't approved that guy Yang Jicai to organize a mechanized cavalry group and insert it directly into the Wengniute Left Banner,
This alleviates the situation to a certain extent by Umezu Yoshijiro's move. It is very likely that we will be passive in both Tongliao and Linxi directions at the same time."
"If Yang Jicai can achieve his goal, then for the sake of the safety of the two divisions on the Linxi frontal battlefield, the Kwantung Army, whether they like it or not, can only send this fifth division to the Linxi battlefield and cannot transfer it to the Tongliao battlefield.
.In this way, we inadvertently resolved the situation. Among the three sharp swords hanging over our army in the Tongliao battlefield, I am afraid it is the one that poses the greatest threat."
"And if the sea of fire tactics adopted by our army in Changling and Shuangshan can be as successful as the Alukorqin Banner, plus Du Kaishan's troops who have been hiding and waiting behind Chen Hanzhang, the Japanese division that inserted behind Chen Hanzhang will also be
It cannot pose a threat."
"As long as Ma Chunsheng strikes quickly and strictly implements his superiors' battle plan, without any glitches, he can contain the Kwantung Army forces in Changtu and Lishu, southwest of Xinjing, and truly threaten the flanks of Xinjing's enemies.
.In this way, the three threats posed by the Kwantung Army to our Tongliao battlefield will be eliminated by us."
"But whether this goal can be achieved, the most critical factor is whether Yang Jicai can turn around and block the retreat of the two Japanese divisions on the front of the Linxi battlefield. As long as he succeeds there, this game of chess will be real.
If you are alive, all problems will be solved."
After thinking about it, Yang Zhen pondered and said: "Lao Guo, the 7th Division headquarters has not been found in Alhorqin Banner yet? We have provided them with the latest high-power monitoring radio station, but the 7th Division headquarters has not been found yet.
Division Headquarters, what on earth did they do?"
"Before the main force of the 7th Division turned around last night, its headquarters was in an advancing state and could not be locked. I can understand. But after the main force of the 7th Division turned to Balaqirud, Aohan Yingzi line, and with us
Even though the troops have been fighting fiercely for most of the night, they still can't determine the approximate location of the 7th Division's regiment headquarters. Isn't this a bit unreasonable? Could it be that the daily training and assessment results of their three divisions were all obtained through fraud? "
Regarding Yang Zhen's dissatisfaction, Guo Bingxun shook his head and said: "No. 1, since the battle of Aruhorqin Banner started yesterday, our army's electronic jammers have been implementing full-scale implementation of all power stations with power of more than 50 watts used by the units and above.
Frequency band interference. Long-term electronic suppression. The 7th Division has almost stopped using high-power radios since nightfall last night."
"The 7th Division's headquarters is always on the move during the day, and at night they rarely use high-power radios. It is quite difficult for them to lock the position of the radio in the short boot time. And the 7th Division
It's very cunning. When their high-power radio stations are rarely turned on to send and receive reports, they always pretend to have multiple radio stations in multiple places, and the time they turn on is extremely short."
"Although our army has spent a lot of energy, it has been unable to accurately locate the location of its radio stations. On the 1st, we currently only have two radio direction finding devices equipped, and the performance is still imperfect. The accuracy is not even close.
, once a large number of radio signals appear, it is difficult to distinguish which signal is real and which is fake."
"In addition, during last night's night battle, when the high-power radio stations were electronically suppressed by our army, the 7th Division's communications mainly relied on field telephone lines set up and tactical radio relays of less than 15 watts.
There are various ways to report, and the use of high-power radio stations should be avoided as much as possible.”
"Due to terrain restrictions and equipment, as well as the Japanese army's use of various means to cover up radio communications, our radio surveillance in Linxi has never been able to capture the signal of the 7th Division Regiment Headquarters radio station. So this
Placing the entire responsibility on their heads is neither comprehensive nor objective."
"However, the headquarters of the 7th Division can now be confirmed to have been defeated by our army. During the night melee in Zagastanol last night, a part of our army that attacked was dispersed by the Japanese counterattack. After this part of the army was dispersed,
The main force, led by the chief of staff of the regiment, was approaching the front line of Balaqirud and commanded by Yang Jicai, and encountered the regiment headquarters of the 7th Division on the outskirts of Baichengzi."
"After a fierce battle, except for a few soldiers who were sent by the chief of staff of the regiment to report, all the cadres and soldiers of our participating troops died. The 7th Division regiment headquarters they encountered was also completely destroyed by our army.
When our reinforcements received the news and rushed to reinforce, they only captured the seriously injured Chief of Staff of the Japanese 7th Division, Colonel Fukuda Naoryo, and a senior combat staff officer."
"However, when the reinforcements were cleaning the battlefield, they found the code book for the 7th Division to communicate with the Sixth Army of the Kwantung Army and the Kwantung Army Headquarters on the body of the deceased Chief of Staff Miao Zhihe. The Japanese code book was seized.
, it has now been sent to Wang Guangyu’s headquarters.”
Guo Bingxun's answer made Yang Zhen frown slightly and then said with some uncertainty: "What was seized is a complete set of code books? What about the Japanese army's radio stations? Have they captured the Japanese army's complete new high-power radio stations? The most important thing is
What’s more, have you ever captured the cipher machines used by the Japanese army?”
"Don't we have information that the Japanese base camp imported a batch of T-type Engeni code cipher machines from Germany at the beginning of this year and distributed them to divisions and above for use? How about it, have they been seized this time? This thing needs to be
It’s much better than the 91-type cipher machine that the Japanese copied with poor performance.”
Regarding Yang Zhen's extremely rare and uncertain rhetorical question, Guo Bingxun said with certainty: "We only captured the code book and the Japanese army's entire strategic deployment situation and plan for this operation. Several radio stations at the 7th Division Regiment Headquarters, except for one
In addition to being damaged by direct hits from pistols, all of them were blown up by a grenade that fell into the tent."
"As for the cipher machine, the reinforcements did not find it when they were cleaning the battlefield. But on the 1st, I don't think the Japanese army can be equipped with such a high density of cipher machines. Every division can be equipped with this kind of German cipher machine."
.According to my judgment, the Japanese division-level troops should still use ordinary radio codes to compile this."
"I heard about this kind of cipher machine when I was studying in France. Its encryption performance is extremely good. Without the secret key, even if this kind of cipher machine is seized on the battlefield, it will be difficult to decipher the opponent.
Telegram. However, because of its functions, the configuration level of this cipher machine may not be too low. Especially for division-level troops, it should not be distributed."
"As a division-level unit, using this new encryption machine on the battlefield can easily be captured by the enemy. This is not conducive to the confidentiality of radio intelligence. So I think the Seventh Division has never used it.
Or at least such cipher machines are not in use yet.
"And judging from the results of our monitoring, compared with lower-level troops, the password changes at the division level of the Japanese army are not very frequent, and the password formation is still relatively fixed. This also shows that the Japanese army, at least during this battle,
This cipher machine has not been put into actual combat."
"If the Japanese army is really equipped with this kind of cipher machine, I think it should be in its corps-level units as strategic clusters. At the division level, I am afraid that this kind of cipher machine will not be distributed. We do have intelligence that the Japanese army has imported it.
We have purchased a batch of these high-end cipher machines."
"However, the production technology of this kind of cipher machine is complex and the process requirements are high. Even the output in Germany, where it was invented, is not very large. Even if the Japanese army imports it, the quantity is probably quite limited. According to my judgment, it is certain that the Japanese army will import this kind of cipher machine.
Yes, but it should be mainly equipped on large ships with higher security."
"The number of ground troops should not be large. Even if they are deployed, they should be in strategic groups above the military level, rather than in tactical groups at the division level. And I have a feeling that the Japanese army will never be in China.
This kind of cipher machine is used on the battlefield."
"Because from the bottom of their hearts, they have no regard for our or Chongqing's radio deciphering capabilities. On the contrary, they have deciphered countless copies of Chongqing's telegrams. Although they have suffered many failures in our hands,
In terms of radio deciphering, they have still not changed their contempt for us. They imported this batch of cipher machines to prepare for the next stage of war against the United States and Britain."
Yang Zhen just laughed at Guo Bingxun's explanation. Yang Zhen has been fascinated by the Engeni code cipher machine, which has been well-known in later generations and has the best performance in the entire World War II. He has been fascinated by it for a long time.
After receiving the Japanese army base camp and spending a lot of money to import a batch of this cipher machine from Germany, I really put some thought into it.
If this kind of cipher machine can be seized, it will be a great convenience for the future encryption of radio communications and the deciphering of Japanese encrypted messages. The role of radio deciphering in war is very crucial.
.It can even be said that it is related to the direction of the entire war situation.
Throughout World War II, the invisible battlefield for electromagnetic control was always present throughout the war. Although there was no smoke and fire on the battlefield, the fighting on this invisible battlefield was no less intense than the real battlefield.
go.
Decisive victory is not only on the battlefield, but also on this invisible battlefield. Deciphering the opponent's communication code by any means is almost equivalent to installing a pair of eyes in the heart of the enemy. And this method has become the key to this battle.
An invisible weapon of victory for both the enemy and ourselves in the war.
However, for Yang Zhen, it is a good thing that it was seized. It is not a big deal if it is not seized. It is just to think of other ways and spend more time. The Japanese army is indeed quite rigorous in compiling codes.
Deciphering is not an easy task. But there are always more solutions than difficulties. As long as you think about it from various aspects and work hard, there will always be a way to solve the problem.
In order to reduce losses as much as possible, in this national liberation war, it is certainly important to decipher the Japanese military communication radio code. But if you put all your hopes on this, it will constrain your own hands, feet and thinking. Do it well.
Although it can influence the direction of a war, it cannot determine the fate of a war.
Regardless of whether Guo Bingxun's judgment on the Japanese army's use of the Engeni code cipher machine is correct or not, it is actually not a big deal to Yang Zhen. Controlling electromagnetic power is important, but war has never been solved in one way. Many
The most reliable solution is to use all kinds of measures together.
Of course, if it is true, as Guo Bingxun has judged, that the Engeni code machines imported by the Japanese army are mainly equipped for the navy, then let the Americans worry about it. After all, the Pacific is their main battlefield, and as the Chinese
Solve your own affairs first. It's better if you have one, and it doesn't matter if you don't have one.
