Dai Chunfeng personally translated the message.
Soon, the secret message was decoded.
Dai Chunfeng's face and expression were extremely serious.
A moment.
"Okay, okay, great!" Dai Chunfeng laughed heartily, with a look of excitement on his face. He raised the telegram in his hand and said to his troops with high spirits, "I have a 'Blue Bird', which can be worth a hundred thousand soldiers! "
"Secretary, but..." Qi Wu looked at Dai Chunfeng, and when he saw Dai Chunfeng nodding, a look of surprise and shock appeared on his face, "It happened so quickly..."
"Take a look." Dai Chunfeng waved his hand and handed the telegram to Qi Wu.
Qi Wu smiled in his heart, feeling that the posture and tone of the director at this moment were like his nephew's promising future, and he couldn't help but show off.
But it should be shown off. If it was as he guessed, this telegram was about the Japanese military situation, the 'Blue Bird' should be an unparalleled success!
He took the telegram and looked down:
"The Japanese Eleventh Army anchored Changsha and planned to launch the Battle of Changsha with three armies from southern Hubei, northern Hunan, and western Jiangxi.
It mainly attacks Changsha from the south of Hubei and north of Hunan, and has jurisdiction over the Japanese 3rd Division, 6th Division, 13th Division, and 33rd Division.
The Japanese 106th Division and the 101st Division left Fengxin, Jiangxi Province, and diverted their divisions to southwestern Jiangxi to attract our ninth theater.
Blue bird, Pi. "
"It's indeed the Bluebird calling." Qi Wu nodded happily, "It's amazing, this is an unparalleled achievement!"
The word "Pi" is exactly the code used by "Blue Bird" in this secret message. It is for identification purposes.
He said to Dai Chunfeng, "This message is only a narrative report and has no other words. It shows that the situation at the Blue Bird is complicated and critical. He is racing against time to send the report."
"I never thought that the 'Blue Bird' could obtain such top-secret information so quickly." Even when Dai Chunfeng sighed, he was filled with excitement and joy. His melancholy mood because of Tianjin suddenly became high-spirited. He said loudly, "Prepare the car. , I’m going to see the principal!”
"yes!"
An hour later, Huangshan official residence.
"It's so good, it's so good, Yu Jin, it's so good."
"'Blue Bird'? Yes, I remember, he must be the good grandson of Mr. Gu. He's very good. With this 'Blue Bird', he deserves a hundred thousand soldiers!"
"After being an old friend, we become a pillar of strength, good, good."
…
Two hours later.
Changsha, Hunan.
Yuelu Mountain, Qingfeng Gorge.
This is a command post built on a mountain cave and is the location of the wartime headquarters of the Ninth War Zone.
"Xue Xing, what do you think of my headquarters?" Xue Boling raised the palm of his right hand and smiled boldly, "Abba is right here, waiting for that Japanese boy!"
At this time, the staff officers were busy in the temporary headquarters. More than a dozen people picked up the phones in their hands and kept saying "Hey, hey, hey," to test whether the phone was open.
A lieutenant colonel was scolding his subordinates because they did not have enough oil for temporary power generation.
A second lieutenant came in carrying a bundle of wires, placed it on the ground, called for Pao Ze to come get it, then turned around and ran away.
"Commander, are you so sure that the Japanese target is our ninth theater?" Wu Xingqi picked up an enamel cup on the table, weighed it, put it down, and asked.
Just two days ago, the Ninth Theater Command received a top-secret call from the Military Commission of the Ministry of National Defense, stating that the Japanese army would launch large-scale operations in the near future, and that the Japanese might take action against Changsha, urging the Ninth Theater Command to take strict precautions.
After receiving this message, Xue Boling, the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Theater Command, secretly ordered the Ninth Theater Command to prepare for a difficult battle.
Not only that, Xue Boling also decided to lead his subordinate generals to secretly enter the wartime headquarters in advance, and everything was carried out in accordance with wartime regulations.
This seems to confirm that the Japanese army’s target is Changsha!
Xue Boling passed a cigarette to Wu Xingqi and said, "In the Yangtze River system, we here are like holding the neck of the Japanese. Not to mention that the Japanese want to open the southwest passage. If they don't remove our ninth theater, they will I’m so exhausted that I can’t even breathe.”
Wu Xingqi took the cigarette and nodded. It was recognized by all the generals that the Japanese would take action in Changsha sooner or later. The only question mark was when the Japanese would take action.
"Our Ninth War Zone, I, Xue Boling, is a serious problem in the hinterland of the Japanese army. If our Ninth War Zone is not eliminated, the children in Gangcun will have trouble sleeping and eating!" Xue Boling said with a chuckle.
Wu Xingqi took a puff of the cigarette, held the cigarette between his fingers, and couldn't help laughing, "Well said, a real man should be like Xue Boling!"
…
This is the Xue Boling he is familiar with, tough, decisive, and extremely confident in his own judgment and choices.
In fact, there has always been controversy among the high command over whether to defend Changsha.
On the issue of whether to defend Changsha or not, Xue Boling insisted on defending to the end.
However, although Changsha is a strategic location, it is difficult to defend due to its terrain, so the high command has been hesitant on the issue of abandoning the city.
The Chairman of the Standing Committee once had the intention of abandoning Changsha.
But Xue Boling's attitude has always been very clear:
Changsha must defend!
He believes that there are three advantages to fighting in northern Hunan:
1. Our army has fifteen armies in northern Hunan that can participate in the war. It is even said that it does not need the assistance of the fifth theater at all. The ninth theater in its hands can stop all invading enemies.
2. Our army is familiar with the terrain of northern Hunan and can advance or retreat with freedom of movement.
3. Northern Hunan is watery and mountainous, and the actions of the Japanese mechanized corps will be greatly restricted.
Just in April, Xue Boling gave a speech at the Sixth Commemorative Week in Changsha entitled "Converting Roads into Fields and Transporting Grain Up the Mountains", saying: "It may make sense theoretically to choose a place to fight, but In fact, brutal fighting is also an excellent method. Because if we don't fight, the enemy will never return to Tokyo automatically. If we sacrifice, the enemy will also sacrifice. If we continue to fight like this, even though the enemy's weapons are good, , but for those without weapons, the final victory will belong to us, the Chinese army and the people!"
In this speech, Xue Boling unified the thinking of the Ninth War Zone——
With our flesh and blood, we will guard the land of Changsha, protect the people of Xiangjiang River, and defend China for thousands of years!
…
At this moment, the director of the telecommunications department came quickly.
"Commander." The confidential director came to Xue Boling's side and lowered his voice, "urgent call, secret call to the attendant's room in the leader's residence."
"Oh?" Xue Boling was quite surprised.
He took the envelope, took out the telegraph newspaper inside, and looked down at it.
Xue Boling's expression instantly became extremely solemn and serious.
"Excellent!" After a while, Xue Boling shouted loudly, and handed the secret message to Wu Xingqi, the chief of staff beside him.
"I didn't expect someone wearing Chunfeng to be so capable." Xue Boling muttered and walked straight to the wall with the curtain hanging on it.
With a hiss, he opened the curtain, revealing the military map on the wall.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, a young staff officer immediately handed over pencils, compasses, wooden rulers and other utensils.
"Alert!" Wu Xingqi said in a deep voice as he watched the commander working on the map, "No one is allowed to enter or exit without authorization from the commander and me."
"yes!"
Soon, a map based on the latest military intelligence operations appeared in Wu Xingqi's eyes.
