Seeing Shen Mengyao holding the message, her beautiful face was so gloomy that water could drip from it. The radio operator Xiao Liu asked timidly,""Section Chief Shen, could it be that someone posted this randomly, or that the Japanese are behind it?”
The principle of radio waves in this era was actually not complicated. Many radio enthusiasts could transmit their own signals with the equipment they bought.
In the concession area of Shanghai alone, many commercial firms had their own radio stations. As long as the radio frequency was the same, the message could be intercepted by anyone. That was why encrypted telegrams appeared later.
Once the telegram was encrypted, even if the message was intercepted by others, the contents of the message would not be revealed. To decipher the message, one had to find the original password book.
This kind of code book could be a small book with numbers on it to indicate the order of each word, or it could simply be a book. The content of the message was the order of the number of pages, lines, and words in the book.
Translators had to translate the contents of the message to know the specific content.
This message was in the military battalion level communication telegram mode and was also encrypted. It was obviously not a prank by the commercial radio station.
In other words, this message was indeed sent to the periphery of Shanghai by a well-established national military combat unit. Because they had lost contact with their superiors, their radio power could not be sent to Changzhou. Therefore, they tried to send the message to the surrounding areas to see if any friendly units could receive it and pass it on for them.
Although Shen Mengyao had guessed the source of the message, the content was too sensational.
The military commander had just learned that a high-ranking Japanese general had secretly come to Shanghai to take over the position of commander of the South Dispatching Army.
Now, he had already been beaten to death!
It was General Shou Yi of the temple!
Who was Shouichi? He was one of the few generals of the Japanese army at this time, and had just stepped down as the commander of the North China dispatch army.
He was the one who single-handedly directed the Lugouqiao Incident and used it to invade the entire North China.
His father was the former Prime Minister of Japan, Masaaki Terauchi. He had also served as the commander of Taiwan and North Korea.
After the Battle of Songhu broke out, Matsui Shigen transferred his brother to Songhu to form a southern dispatch army to attack Guangzhou.
In his previous life, after inspecting the Songhu battlefield, Terauchi Juichi led four divisions to attack Guangzhou. Later, after the joint fleet attacked Pearl Harbor, he occupied the entire Southeast Asia in just three months.
Together with General Yamamoto 56, they wiped out the British overseas corps and more than 70,000 American troops stationed in the philippines. If MacArthur hadn't found a small boat to escape to Australia, he would have become his prisoner!
For this reason, Shouichi Terauchi was awarded the rank of Marshal.
However, Shen Mengyao did not know what had happened in the future. However, just the positions of general of the army and commander of the North China dispatch army were enough for her to be flabbergasted.
The Battle of Songhu was nearing its end. More than 700,000 elite soldiers had fought the Japanese for more than three months, and the highest ranking soldier who had killed the Japanese was only a lieutenant.
Now, the 140th Brigade had killed a Japanese general and thousands of Japanese soldiers?
Could this be a fantasy?
However, even if Shen Mengyao didn't believe it, she saw a place name that had repeatedly appeared in the Japanese military's cables for the past half a day. It was Nanxiang Station!
Starting from 10 a.m., the monitoring team received a dense number of messages from the Japanese military command in Shanghai, especially at Nanxiang Station.
If it was just a coincidence, it would still make sense. But now that the time and place were all right, people had no choice but to believe the authenticity of this message.
Could it be that the contents of this message were real?
This thought only flashed through Shen Mengyao's mind for a moment, but she suppressed the excitement in her heart. If she made a mistake in such a major incident, the entire military station would become a big joke.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Wang Tianmu, the station chief, strode in. It was obvious that he had also received the report.
As the commander of the Shanghai Military Station, Wang Tianmu naturally hoped that this message was true. This would not only boost the overall situation of the war, but it would also boost the morale of the entire Chinese army!
Now that North China had fallen and the Battle of Songhu had failed, the Japanese army had gathered a large number of troops and was beginning to launch an offensive against China. Seeing that Changzhou was about to fall, Zhenjiang and Nanjing were behind!
The successive defeats had caused the morale of the people and soldiers to be extremely low. The Japanese gathered a group of scholars and wantonly advocated the theory of the rapid destruction of China.
At this moment, they really needed a victory to boost their morale!
However, just as Shen Mengyao had thought, if this message was fake, not only would it cause the military to lose face, but it would also worsen the already low morale and morale of the people.
This would cause the battle to become even more passive. This responsibility was not something he could bear!
"Unfortunately, we are unable to decipher the Japanese military's message. Otherwise, we could verify the accuracy of this information through their message!”
Wang Tianmu sighed softly when he thought of this.
"Station master, the situation is urgent now. It is too late to decipher the Japanese message, but I have a way to verify whether this news is true!”
Shen Mengyao said firmly as she stared at Wang Tianmu.
"What?"
Wang Tianmu's dispirited expression instantly disappeared. His eyes lit up as he said,"Mengyao, do you have any ideas?"
Shen Mengyao blinked her big eyes and said,""Although we are unable to decipher the complete Japanese message, we can still decipher some of the words. The answers we want will soon be given to us by the Japanese!”
"Will the Japanese tell us?"
Wang Tianmu was confused and asked, What should we do?
"Immediately draft a message to the frequency just now, order the 140th Brigade 1st Battalion to immediately move to Shaoyang Lake, and sign it as the Third Battle Area Commander's Department!”
Shen Mengyao said calmly. Everyone in the room, including Wang Tianmu, trembled in fear.
"What? You want to pretend to be the commander of the Third Battle Area and give orders to the combat troops?”
Wang Tianmu couldn't believe his ears. He knew that Shen Mengyao was a bold woman, but he never expected that she would dare to pretend to be a commander and give orders to the combat troops.
If the higher-ups knew about this, the entire Shanghai Military Station would be held responsible, and his position as station chief would be over!
"Chief, time is of the essence. We don't have time to hesitate!”
