Even Hu Weidong was a little frightened when he found out, "Fortunately, luck is not too bad. If the Japanese have an armored army, or they use grid armor (a kind of external light armor, it can deal with rocket launchers with the principle of concentrated armor-breaking).
miraculous effect, and almost no skills
The technical content is actually an enhanced version of barbed wire. The only cost after installing it on the tank is an increase of less than 5% in weight, but the probability of being effectively damaged by a rocket launcher will be reduced to less than 40% of that without it).
This battle may really capsize the ship.”
"Tanks are offensive weapons after all, and they naturally have an advantage in the contest between spears and shields. Even a little trick can make major breakthroughs in anti-tank weapons or tactics worthless. Unfortunately, we have too few tanks and cannot
Perhaps the only way to use tanks to fight tanks is to use other methods. Judging from the two recent large-scale anti-tank battles, anti-tank rocket launchers alone are not enough. If you want to withstand the torrent of armors numbering over a thousand, you must use flying weapons.
"A three-dimensional anti-tank combat system can only be formed by machine guns, long-range artillery groups, anti-tank guns, individual anti-tank weapons and a certain number of tanks or tank destroyers." Although Hu Weidong was not a witness to this battle, because of his familiarity with various
The understanding of advanced weapons and tactics was far beyond this era, so the summary he wrote as a bystander was highly praised by the chairman, and Hu Weidong's image as a "weapons expert" became more and more popular.
In this battle, the Eighth Route Army deciphered the Japanese army's new telecommunications code (Note 1), and therefore had a thorough understanding of the Japanese army's actions, but it suffered such huge losses. It almost capsized, so the bosses of the Eighth Route Army were naturally very dissatisfied.
But the commander of the Japanese 11th Army, Okamura Neiji, was even more unbelievable when he learned about it. You must know that Japan is short of resources, so it is natural to "use good steel to the blade" and give priority to the most powerful weapons to the best.
troops, so in a sense, the tank division and the two "mechanized" divisions can be said to be the most elite troops in the Japanese Army except the Kwantung Army system, but such elite aces
However, the troops were completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, and the number of people killed by the Eighth Route Army (about 20,000 people. In offensive battles, there are usually more casualties and fewer deaths) was much less than the Japanese army. This undoubtedly caused a great psychological impact on Okamura Neji.
impact
Even the Eighth Route Army has become so powerful now, so how powerful should the Fifteenth Group Army, which was China's strongest force, become now? Could it be that their previous shocking results of wiping out 200,000 Japanese troops with one division were not just because of new weapons?
Destroyed the psychology of the imperial officers and soldiers? The more Okamura Neiji thought about it, the more frightened he became. It was from this point on that Okamura Neiji, who originally thought that even if Japan could not swallow the huge China, was determined not to surrender to the Chinese for the first time
Feeling a little scared
In addition, Okamura Neji was also shocked by the ability of the Eighth Route Army's large corps to maneuver through. In particular, they seemed to know the movements of the Japanese army very well. Okamura, a wily man, couldn't help but wonder whether the enemy had cracked his own telecommunications code again. In order to
To confirm his suspicion, Okamura Neji did not hesitate to sacrifice a special division, deliberately
Let it be exposed and form a lone army. As expected, it soon fell into the siege of the Eighth Route Army's overwhelming superiority. Okamura immediately led the main force to retreat eastward. At the same time, he reported his findings to the headquarters headquarters and pointed out that the purple cipher machine was likely to have major hidden dangers.
The flaw has been discovered by cryptographers of the Chinese Red Party.
Although Okamura Neiji's discovery may sound a bit unbelievable at first, due to the repeated misfortunes during this period, the Japanese base camp headquarters still contacted the Germans who originally provided the purple cipher machine to Japan. Although Germany had already
More inclined to cooperate with China than Japan, but the Germanic nation
His natural rigor and seriousness still led him to conduct a careful study of this issue. It also allowed the observers staying in the Central Plains Border Area to understand it to a certain extent. Although they only noticed some clues, it was enough for the Germans to determine that the Red Party should
The password generation rules of the purple cipher machine have indeed been cracked.
Although the German telecommunications experts were arrogant, they still lowered their arrogant heads in the face of the facts. Knowing that there were loopholes in the cipher machine, the German telecommunications experts were more serious and rigorous than usual. After a period of in-depth research, they finally
Although the purple cipher machine and its prototype "Engonima cipher machine" seem to be perfect, once the code book falls into the hands of the enemy, the enemy may use this code to
After reversing the rules for generating codes by this type of cipher machine, combined with the previous capture of Prince Mikasa Takahito, the Germans believed that the purple cipher machine was indeed very likely to be cracked by the Chinese. Although the Germans refused to admit that their product
It’s not good, and it’s too good to attribute it to Chinese mathematicians, but they know in their hearts that even China can crack it, let alone the United States and the United Kingdom, which are far superior to China in terms of experience and technology in this aspect?
Another flaw of the "Engonima cipher machine" was also exposed. Once the rules for generating passwords are mastered by the enemy, it will be difficult to prevent the enemy from cracking no matter how the cipher machine is modified. Realize the hidden meaning
After taking huge risks, Mustache had to give up the "Engonima cipher machine" and would rather use the military control
It used artificially generated codes that were more difficult to use, and reiterated the principle that should be adhered to, that is, no matter whether it is deciphered by the enemy, a new code must be replaced as long as a certain period of time is reached, thereby closing this huge loophole, which inadvertently made Germany
Later, the joke in history that the code was deciphered by the British but they themselves were unaware of it for a long time was avoided.
Although this has affected the combat effectiveness of the German army to a certain extent, especially the difficulty of more complex tactical coordination such as air-ground coordination, Germany's stronger national strength, technological level and more advanced weapons and equipment than at the same time in history are enough to make up for it. Not to mention the war
Even if it is inconvenient to change the password before, it is still better than the historical situation where Germany's wire and telecommunications communications have been in a one-way transparent state until the end of the war without them knowing it.
Note 1: The new ciphers used by the Japanese army at this time still came from the Purple cipher machine. By the end of 1938 and the beginning of 1939, the frequency of the Japanese army changing ciphers had increased to once a quarter. However, as the Red Party cryptography technical team changed the Purple cipher machine
The principle of generating passwords is increasingly understood, and the time required to decipher it has been shortened to half a month.
