Chairman Mao, Li Kenong, Turing and others looked at the huge machine and were all speechless. Chairman Mao asked, "203, can this thing really be used to decipher the Japanese telegrams?"
Jiang Cheng did not answer directly, but asked Turing, "Mr. Turing, how do you feel about that giant?"
When it came to the giant, Turing couldn't help but praise and said, "Mr. 203, the giant you gave us is really great. It has helped us a lot. Is your machine even better than our giant?"
Jiang Cheng touched his chin and said, "If the computing power of the giant is that of a Mauser rifle, then the computing power of this machine is that of a 150mm howitzer. Can you imagine?"
Chairman Mao and others took a breath. Turing knew best what kind of computing power it was. It can be said that a giant has done the work of dozens of mathematicians, and now this machine really has the ability to say something.
If it was so good, and then thinking about it, there were said to be a total of fifteen units, Turing just felt like fainting from happiness.
Chairman Mao pulled Jiang Cheng aside and asked, "How many years ahead is this machine?"
Jiang Cheng whispered, "No one should be able to do it within 20 years."
Chairman Mao nodded and immediately said, "Mr. Xia, these machines are all set as top secret. You will cooperate with 203 to establish a deciphering center. The name is... Listen!"
Diting, with tiger head, one horn, dog ears, dragon body, lion tail, and unicorn feet, is a legendary mythical beast in Buddhism. It can identify all things in the world by listening, and is especially good at listening to people's hearts. Jiang Cheng and others all realized that
This name is extremely suitable, I nod my head in approval.
Li Kenong used the fastest speed to build a large computer room in the mountainous area of Yan'an, and also dedicated a power station to provide power for Diting. Turing and others looked at the English and Chinese teaching materials and prepared to use them in the shortest possible time.
After learning how to use these machines, as for maintenance, he could only replace whatever was broken. Jiang Cheng went to the Anti-Japanese University to find a group of scientists to start researching his own transistors and electron tubes. As for the raw materials, they could only be supplied from later generations at the beginning.
.
At Jiang Cheng's home, Jiang Cheng listened to Li Qian, Yu Yishan and others describing the recent situation, and couldn't help but said in shock, "So, the New Fourth Army is in big trouble. Why didn't the chairman tell me?"
Li Qian pressed Jiang Cheng's shoulder and said, "I think the chairman probably thinks that at this time, you can't help much if you go to the boss, and the place is in chaos. If something happens to you, the boss, it will be a big deal."
.”
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "That's true, but with the abilities of Chen Yi and Su Yu, it shouldn't be a big deal. Do you know? Chen Yike led the Red Army to persist in Jiangnan for three years. It was more difficult than it is now.
There are too many.”
Yu Yishan peeled an apple for Jiang Cheng and said, "Brother Cheng, do you have confidence in General Chen Yi? By the way, I remember that General Chen Yi is not married yet, right?"
Jiang Cheng scratched Yu Yishan's nose and said, "Have you stayed in Yan'an for a long time? Like those elder sisters, you also like to be matchmakers everywhere? But this Chen Yi is really not married yet, but he is not without the person he likes. He has the person he likes.
The surname is Hu, and he is now a member of the White Party. The two agreed to wait three years for each other. They probably did not believe that this war would last for such a long time at first."
Speaking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but have more opinions on Xiang Ying and said, "Actually, Xiang Ying is still to blame for this matter, because that General Hu... Yes, she is already a general, with a special status, Xiang Ying is not allowed to marry the two.
They say it is for the sake of the overall situation, but in fact, getting married in secret is nothing. Chen Yi has been depressed for a long time because of this matter."
While chatting, Huang Biao suddenly ran in in a hurry. As soon as he saw Jiang Cheng, he hurriedly said, "My boss, something happened, something happened."
Jiang Cheng quickly stood up and asked, "What happened?"
Huang Biao pointed to the south and said, "I don't know who led the way for the Japs and exposed the position of the New Fourth Army. The Japs' planes chased and bombed the New Fourth Army. The Army chased and blocked them. The latest news, General Chen Yi doesn't know now."
However, General Su Yu was seriously injured by the bomb."
"What!!" Jiang Cheng's eyes couldn't help but panic. The Battle of Huangqiao, which was supposed to be a great victory in history, turned into a small defeat. Now, even Su Yu was seriously injured. How will things develop next?
I really can't see clearly.
Jiang Cheng immediately went out and said, "Li Qian, Huang Biao, follow me. Let's go see the chairman. The chairman should also have received the news."
The cave dwelling was already filled with smoke. Chairman Mao and others looked at the map and kept discussing.
Jiang Cheng walked in, waved his hand and pushed his cigarette away. When he saw the chairman, he asked, "Chairman, I heard that something happened to the New Fourth Army."
Zhou Guansheng pulled Jiang Cheng aside and said, "Let me talk to you."
——Changshu three days ago
Hu Chuankui looked at Changshu City where plaster flags had been planted, and asked a soldier with a sly look next to him, "Have you found out clearly? Has the little widow been caught by the Japs? How many Japs are there in the city?"
The soldier nodded repeatedly and said, "Sir, don't worry. I saw it clearly. The Japs took the little widow into the headquarters. At first, there was a group of Japs here. I don't know what they were doing. Suddenly
They drove out again, and now there is at most one squadron in the city. You see, the Japanese don’t even dare to open the city gate."
Hu Chuankui looked at the city gate that was only open a small crack, nodded and said, "That's true. Okay, we have two regiments. It's no problem to fight one squadron. Everyone listens clearly. When we get to the headquarters, no artillery fire is allowed."
Throw a bomb, and if anyone hurts your sister-in-law, I will have to skin him!"
Everyone around them responded, Hu Chuankui waved his hand, and two camouflaged cars were pushed up. Hu Chuankui watched the soldiers disguised as coolies push the two cars to the city gate, and only heard a loud "boom".
There was a loud noise, and the wooden city gate was blown to pieces.
"Charge!!" Hu Chuankui shouted loudly, waving his hands and ordering the troops to charge. The soldiers of the two regiments who had followed him to Changshu immediately rushed out of the mountains and forests and rushed towards Changshu City.
"Tongtongtong" "Dududududu"
Suddenly, countless bullets flew out from the city wall. More than a dozen light and heavy machine guns were mounted on the top of the city. The dense bullets pinned the charging loyalists to the ground one by one. What was even more frightening was that they also fired from the city.
For several armored vehicles, the weapons brought by the Loyalty Army were all light weapons and could not pose any threat to the armored vehicles at all.
"What's going on? Didn't you say there is only one squadron?" Hu Chuankui turned around to find the person who had tipped off the information, but could no longer see him. Then, several soldiers came over and said, "Commander, Japs! There are Japs all around!"
!We are surrounded."
Hu Chuankui's hat almost flew up when he heard this. He quickly looked around, and sure enough, countless Japanese troops turned out from nowhere, and plaster flags rushed towards him like a ghost.
"You've fallen into the trap!! Run!!" Hu Chuankui quickly ran back to the road.
Hu Chuankui's troops charged for a long time, but they were no match for the Japanese army that had been prepared for a long time. Soon the loyal army was dispersed. Hu Chuankui's side gradually lost the protection of soldiers. When they came to a main road, they saw a teahouse on the side of the road. Hu Chuankui ran away.
After a long time, I was really thirsty. I looked behind me and saw that no Japanese soldiers were chasing me. I quickly ran in and said, "Shopkeeper, bring me a bowl of tea. Hurry up!!"
A woman in her thirties came out, saw Hu Chuankui, and shouted in surprise, "Hu Chuankui? Didn't you go to fight against the Japanese and the Japanese? Why are you here?"
Hu Chuankui groaned secretly, not knowing whether this person was a grudge or an enemy to himself. He looked up and immediately felt relieved and said, "Sister-in-law Aqing!! You scared me to death. I'm being chased by the Japanese. Please give me a bowl of tea."
drink."
Sister-in-law Ah Qing quickly handed Hu Chuankui a kettle, and Hu Chuankui started drinking. Sister-in-law Ah Qing looked outside and quickly shouted, "Stop drinking, the Japanese are coming. Run away."
Hu Chuankui was so frightened that he put the kettle on the table and wanted to run away. But when he saw Mrs. A Qing, he immediately remembered that there was a river in front of him. He looked at his body shape again, sighed and said, "It seems I can't run away."
Yes, this is life!"
Mrs. Ah Qing looked around and said, "You hide in the tank, and I'll help you cover it. See if you can escape."
Hu Chuankui nodded repeatedly and got into the water tank.
"Baga! Have you noticed what the guerrillas are doing?" As soon as Aqing's wife hid Hu Chuankui, a group of Japanese soldiers broke in.
Sister-in-law Ah Qing said with a look of horror, "Taijun, Taijun, no one is here."
"Baga! Search for me!"
A group of Japanese soldiers were rummaging and smashing everywhere in the teahouse. Hu Chuankui, who was listening to the commotion outside, was so frightened that he kept trembling in the water tank, shaking and shaking, and it actually made a noise.
Everyone looked at the water tank that was shaking so much that the wooden board covering the mouth of the tank was shaking. A Japanese soldier used a bayonet to pick up the wooden board. He looked at Hu Chuankui inside and burst out laughing. He grabbed Hu Chuankui with one hand, and
Mrs. Ah Qing had already been knocked down by the butt of a rifle, and her blood flowed all over the floor.
——
Hu Chuankui was invited into the headquarters in Changshu. Itagaki Seishiro brought him a cup of tea and said, "Commander Hu, I have long admired your name... I am so lucky to see you today. I just didn't know that you were not annihilating the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu, but you were
Have you returned to Changshu?"
Hu Chuankui was originally a ruffian. Now that the matter had come to this, he said indifferently, "I'll come back and see. Just tell me what you want to do."
Itagaki Seishiro said in a haphazard manner, "Your large forces are still in Jiangbei to deal with the New Fourth Army. How dare you come directly here? You should be able to contact your troops from a distance, right?"
Hu Chuankui nodded and said, "So what?"
Itagaki Seishiro smiled and said, "Our imperial army attacked northern Jiangsu, and now the Taizhou Army has surrendered. Han Deqin's department is surrounded by our army, but part of your loyal army and the New Fourth Army have escaped without a trace. This is not acceptable.
It poses too great a threat to the local security, so... I hope you can help us find the New Fourth Army. Of course, if you are willing to cooperate with us, your loyal army will not be harmed in any way."
Hu Chuankui said quickly, "It's impossible...I can't do this."
Itagaki Seishiro took a breath and nodded and said, "Then let the little widow really be a widow, and also comfort the warriors of our imperial army. You should have heard the term comfort women, right?"
With that said, Itagaki Seishiro was about to give an order. Hu Chuankui quickly reached out and said, "Wait a minute...let me think about it."
Itagaki Seishiro looked at his pocket watch and said, "I only give you ten minutes!"
Hu Chuankui said after a while, "I can contact my troops and ask for their location, but I don't know if they are with the New Fourth Army. In addition, you must ensure the safety of my brothers in the Zhongyi Army."
Itagaki Seishiro smiled and said, "Of course, don't worry, our Imperial Army will do what we say!"
——Qili Town, Rudong County
Chen Yi and Su Yu looked at the map and said, "Although Lin Sanhu's troops have taken action, they are too far away from us. I think we still have to continue fighting guerrillas with the Japanese army, but now there are too many people in our team. I think we still have to
Divide your forces."
Su Yu nodded and said, "Yes, each of us will bring one. If it's still too big, keep spreading out. I don't believe the Japanese can outrun us!"
Chen Yi packed up the map and said, "Without further delay, let's take action immediately. There are also those loyal soldiers who are following us. We need to find a way to digest them on the way, otherwise something will happen sooner or later."
Not long after Su Yu went out, Chen Yi heard an explosion. Chen Yi quickly ran out to take a look, only to see more than a dozen fighter planes densely appearing in the sky.
"Commander, the Japanese have discovered us. Commander Su has been injured. The loyal army is attacking us. What should we do?" Ye Fei hurriedly ran in.
Chen Yi stamped his feet and cursed, "I knew I shouldn't have led those loyal troops out, and retreat immediately. The Japanese will soon catch up. Tell all the troops that if they are scattered, go to Shandong. We are there."
The troops will respond, don’t go south, there are a lot of Japs in the south, and there are also the National Army, this battle is going to be fought!!”
——Yan'an
After listening to Zhou Guansheng's story, Jiang Cheng didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and quickly asked, "What should we do now?"
Chairman Mao pinched the cigarette butt and said, "According to intelligence, the Japanese army's attack on Xiangyang, pressure on Nanchang, and sweep of northern Jiangsu is actually a bluff. The real killing move is in Changsha! But it seems that the Chiang Kai-shek agency in Chongqing has not realized it yet."
at this point."
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and whispered to Chairman Mao, "Why don't you tell Ganzhou about this and have it be reported to Chongqing?"
Chairman Mao shook his head and said, "Now that Okamura Neiji's troops are pressing down on Nanchang, and the youth army is on the front line, letting such news come out of Ganzhou is a sign of cowardice. I think it's best for you, Guansheng, to go there."
Zhou Guansheng nodded and asked, "What about Ye Xiang?"
Chairman Mao couldn't help but think of the historical Wannan Incident in his mind, and said, "Order Ye Xiang to pay careful attention to the movements of Zhu Zhu's colleagues. If anything abnormal occurs, start a war immediately. This time, we can no longer be passive. In addition, ask Mr. He
Let’s talk to Mr. Peng to see if the Second Battle of Suiyuan can be launched. We must start the war in the north as soon as possible. We can’t let the Japanese lead us by the nose anymore.”
Zhou Guansheng responded and asked, "I'll set off immediately, but where is Chen Yi's department?"
Jiang Cheng volunteered and said, "Let Zhou Weiguo and others go. Their individual combat capabilities are higher. Weiguo is also from Jiangsu, so it is easy to move."
Chairman Mao shook his head and said, "Chen Yi should still have troops around him. I have confidence in our troops. There must be other reasons for not contacting us now. I am worried about Su Yu. He was seriously injured and I don't know if something will happen."
