There was no movement from the Japanese side for several days, especially when the heavy artillery troops stopped mobilizing. Wang Xuexin knew that his bluffing actions could scare the Japanese.
It was only on the third day that Wang Xuexin received the letter of commendation from the chief.
The reason why this recognition is so special is that Wang Xuexin maintains the highest level of confidentiality regarding the use of "high fire".
Because of confidentiality, reports to the chief were not made through radio stations or telephones, but by sending secret documents directly... During this period, radio stations and telephones were often unreliable, because telephone calls could be eavesdropped, and radio stations could be monitored. The Japanese were involved in these aspects.
Technical advantages, the Japanese were obviously better than the Eighth Route Army in decoding messages.
Therefore, the secret message is more reliable. Use some special codes to write a letter and let a few reliable communication soldiers deliver it... If something goes wrong on the way, just burn the secret message as soon as possible. This will actually
More secure.
After receiving the secret message, the chief immediately realized the value of this equipment.
He said solemnly: "This little Northeast is a real figure! The problem of rocket accuracy has been solved in such a short time. This is a world-class problem! Industrial powers such as Hans, Mao Xiong and Yingjiang have no
There is no way to solve it, it’s just like playing in his hands!”
The chief of staff nodded: "Seven out of ten hits. This accuracy can be used in actual combat! It's not easy! Our Eighth Route Army finally has a piece of equipment that no one else has. Xiaodongbei has made another great contribution!"
The commander pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Secret work must be done well. Leaking the information too early will allow the enemy to grasp the weaknesses of this equipment, and then it will be impossible to catch the Japanese off guard!"
"Yes!" the chief of staff responded, but hesitated for a moment and then asked: "But, what should we say about our results?"
The chief understands what the chief of staff means.
When a Japanese heavy artillery regiment was bombed, many people saw it. In addition to the reconnaissance troops of the Eighth Route Army, there were also nearby civilians and guerrillas.
The Eighth Route Army was fine, and they were ordered to keep it secret, but the people and the guerrillas... they were looking forward to it day and night, hoping that the Eighth Route Army would win the war.
Now that they have won a great victory and destroyed the Japanese artillery positions in one fell swoop, of course they will rush to tell each other.
Therefore, I am just now thinking of asking them to "keep it a secret", but I am afraid it is already too late. The news has already spread from one person to another, and has already spread throughout the streets and alleys.
The chief of staff was right. The people even knew about the bombing of the Japanese artillery position earlier than the leader. Even the people in Yuncheng knew about it the next day.
This is not surprising at all. It is related to their life and death, so of course they have to care.
In fact, the common people began to care, or to be more precise, "worry" from the moment the Japanese artillery mobilized and aimed its muzzles at Yuncheng.
This was actually done intentionally by the Japanese.
The bombardment of Yuncheng was actually a psychological warfare. The first thing was to scare away the people, and then to make the Eighth Route Army isolated and helpless and be consumed in Yuncheng in batches.
Therefore, the Japs brought the news to Yuncheng through various channels and even traitors in an attempt to create panic:
"Have you heard? The Japanese have moved the cannon outside the city!"
"Why didn't the Eighth Route Army destroy them?"
"Fight? How to fight? Those Japanese cannons can hit for more than ten kilometers!"
"You can't hit me even if you want to, so we just have to be beaten!"
…
So the people in Yuncheng were panicked, but the Eighth Route Army had always performed very well, especially the Independent Regiment, which had recaptured Yuncheng from the Japanese once or twice, so the people just waited to see what happened and there was no chaos for the time being.
But it is precisely in this state of "waiting and waiting" that the people are the most well-informed, because they have made such a plan: as soon as there is any trouble, it is time to evacuate Yuncheng, but they cannot fall behind others, like
Just like last time, I couldn't leave even after the city gate was closed.
Therefore, in addition to going about their normal lives, the people kept their ears open waiting for news, and were even ready to evacuate Yuncheng.
Unexpectedly, the news that came was that the Japanese artillery position had been blown up.
"Did the Eighth Route Army bomb it?"
"Who else could have bombed it if it wasn't the Eighth Route Army?"
"Didn't you say we can't hit him? It's more than ten kilometers away!"
"I don't know what method the Eighth Route Army used, but it just exploded! The sound could be heard more than ten miles away, and the entire Japanese artillery position was wiped out!"
…
It originally didn't matter much when people passed it around, but it became more and more popular as it was passed on.
But the Eighth Route Army had to give the people an "official voice". This was a great opportunity to boost people's morale. How could it be let go so easily?
However, considering the principle of confidentiality, we cannot say more.
When the leader and chief of staff were in a dilemma, Wang Xuexina sent another secret letter.
The chief laughed "haha" when he saw it and said: "Okay, let's promote it like this!"
With that, he handed the secret letter to the chief of staff and said: "It is best to publish this statement in the newspaper so that the whole army can learn from it!"
The chief of staff took it and took a look: "Our army launched a special operation and successfully blew up the Japanese artillery position!"
"Special operations?" The chief of staff looked at the leader in confusion.
The chief nodded: "I have an explanation for the people, and more importantly... Yingjiang will not doubt it!"
The chief of staff said "Oh" and replied: "I'll do it right away!"
Soon, a report that "our army launched special operations and successfully blew up the Japanese artillery positions" appeared in newspapers and was widely discussed.
This is an official explanation, but this explanation... the Japanese don't believe it at all, especially since Okamura Neiji has found the "High Fire" fragments, so it can't be "special operations."
But precisely because of this, this kind of equipment is even more mysterious to the Japanese.
People are naturally afraid of strange and unknown things. Because the Japanese knew nothing about this kind of equipment, they were even more afraid of it.
On one point, the chief thought the same as Wang Xuexin.
The reason why Wang Xuexin wanted to use "special operations" as a cover was not only to keep the secret from the Japanese, but also to give Yingjiang a reasonable explanation.
Otherwise, what would Yingjiang think and do if he suddenly discovered that China had solved the problem of rocket accuracy and had a new piece of equipment?
Most of them will pester them for technology, and even worse, they will contact the gyroscope, and then use the gyroscope to embarrass the Eighth Route Army, etc.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, let’s just say that this is “special operations” and has nothing to do with missiles.
There is no room for disbelief in Yingjiang.
Because it is difficult to imagine that Wang Xuexin could build a "high-precision rocket" in such a short period of time. Skinny is still exploring, and it is still short-range.
But of course, after all, this is equipment used on a large scale, and it is still flying in the sky. It will be exposed one day.
But being able to hide for a while is just a temporary thing.
Yingjiang's gyroscopes should have been delivered by then. It would be best if all 20,000 gyroscopes are delivered...
