Coded telegrams were deciphered one after another, and they were all summarized on Wei Daming's desk. The contents of the telegrams made Wei Daming shocked and angry, because the spy was probably a traitorous officer of the Chinese anti-aircraft artillery unit.
The Nanjing National Government began to establish anti-aircraft artillery squads and air defense squads in 1933, and also carried out talent training and reserve. In 1935, the first anti-aircraft artillery unit was officially established.
After the fall of Wuhan and Guangzhou, Chang Kaishen immediately redeployed the anti-aircraft artillery troops, focusing on Chongqing, Guilin, Hengyang and other places. From October last year to May this year, the Chongqing anti-aircraft artillery troops shot down 2 visiting Japanese aircraft.
Two were damaged.
But after May this year, the anti-aircraft artillery unit could no longer damage Japanese aircraft. Everyone thought that the Japanese army had become smarter, but they never expected that it was actually a traitorous officer of the anti-aircraft artillery unit who sent a secret message to keep the Japanese bombers at bay.
An altitude of more than 12,000 feet, because the maximum range of Chongqing anti-aircraft guns is 10,000 feet.
"What a bastard!" Wei Daming cursed through gritted teeth.
From Chiang Kai-shek to ordinary people, all Chinese living in Chongqing hated Japan's indiscriminate bombing. Wei Daming was no exception. He often slept soundly in the middle of the night, but was forced to run to the air-raid shelter by the sound of sirens.
There is an officer of the Chinese anti-aircraft artillery unit who sold out all the soldiers and civilians in Chongqing for some unknown profit. Wouldn't his conscience hurt?
Zhou Hexuan sat next to him and asked, "Director Wei, can I take a look?"
"Of course." Wei Daming handed the translated telegram to Zhou Hexuan without thinking too much. He asked Zhou Hexuan for help after consulting Dai Li in advance. Dai Li said that Zhou Hexuan was absolutely reliable. As for covering Zhou Hexuan's eyes with black cloth, that was purely
For safety reasons, this is just official business.
Zhou Hexuan looked at the telegrams one after another and was speechless. That traitor was so abominable.
The traitorous officers not only told the Japanese the range of Chinese anti-aircraft artillery, but also sent real-time information about the weather conditions in Chongqing, which blocks had not yet been bombed, which blocks had the largest concentration of citizens, and which places had important factories and institutions.
Moreover, when the Japanese army bombed Chongqing, there were people on the ground sending guidance signals. If the sun was shining, spies would use mirrors to reflect the light; if it was night, spies would light torches in important areas.
Three of these spies responsible for ground guidance have been captured by the military commander, but they are still caught repeatedly.
Suddenly, Wei Daming, who was reading the telegram, was stunned, and his expression changed from anger to surprise, and even incredulity. He quickly put the telegram away and said to Zhou Hexuan: "Mr. Zhou, I have important news to inform Director Dai, so I will excuse myself today.
"
Zhou Hexuan knew that the other party had important matters to deal with, so he took the initiative and said: "Then I will leave first and cover my eyes."
Wei Daming said with some embarrassment: "I'm so sorry, brother just followed the normal procedure and wronged Mr. Zhou."
Wei Daming personally sent the blindfolded Zhou Hexuan downstairs and told the secret agents to send Mr. Zhou back safely. Then he took a car and quickly rushed to Dai Li's mansion, and soon saw Dai Li himself.
"Secretary, please take a look at this." Wei Daming took out the telegram without any explanation.
The telegram had been translated into Chinese. Dai Li only glanced at it and said with a gloomy face: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to report it to the chief! You come with me."
The two people rushed to Chang Kaishen's official residence and were told that Chiang Kai-shek was handling official business.
Dai Li said anxiously to the attendant: "Please inform the president immediately. I have urgent news, and I can't delay it for a moment."
The attendant hesitated for a moment, then immediately turned around and entered the room. He came back two minutes later and said, "Director Dai, please come to the reception room!"
The two waited in the reception room for a while, and Chang Kaishen appeared wearing a silk shirt, shaking a fan, and asked: "Yunong, what's the emergency?"
Dai Li was not in the mood to stand at attention and greet him. He directly handed over the telegram and said: "Please take a look at the main seat!"
Chang Kaishen only read half of the content, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he yelled: "Mother Xipi! This German is unreliable."
It turned out that the telegrams deciphered by the secret telegram team were all sent by a German himself. And that German named Weber was actually Chang Kaishen’s artillery consultant!
Dai Li asked: "Chief Commander, how will the Germans handle this?"
Chang Kaishen sat down and thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "Kill him, and declare to the outside world that he was killed by Japanese agents."
Dai Li nodded and said: "The Germans cannot be killed yet. We need to stabilize them first. Please don't reveal any more information to him."
Chang Kaishen sneered: "Jiang Qian stole books, I understand."
Dai Li bowed and said, "I will resign from my humble post."
Chang Kaishen glanced at Wei Daming next to him and praised: "You are the Director of Telecommunications, you have done a good job."
When Wei Daming received the compliment from Chiang Kai-shek, he felt as if he had eaten a fruit of life. His whole body began to feel dizzy. He stood at attention and saluted: "The General Manager is very complimentary. All members of the humble and secret telegraph team will definitely continue to work hard to repay the service of the General Manager and the party and the country."
Cultivation. Work hard and die!"
Chang Kaishen nodded with satisfaction and said to Dai Li: "Yunong, go back and give credit and rewards to everyone in the secret telegram team."
"Yes, Chief!" Dai Li stood at attention and accepted the order.
"Go." Chang Kaishen waved his hand and said.
The two military leaders left quickly, but Chang Kaishen was in a bad mood.
This year, the military commander has caught two spies who sent news about air raids to the Japanese army. The first one was a Japanese who was airdropped to Chongqing. Not only did this Japanese speak Chinese, but he also spoke Chongqing dialect, and his hiding place was near Yunxiu Tower.
, are neighbors with Chang Kaishen and Dai Li!
The military commanders were a little confused when they arrested people. They searched all over Chongqing, but they didn't expect that Japanese spies were hiding under Chiang Kai-shek's nose.
This time it was even more nonsense. Two Japanese spies were found at the same time. One was an anti-aircraft artillery officer responsible for anti-aircraft operations, and the other was simply a German artillery consultant who had followed Chiang Kai-shek for several years.
After Dai Li left, he did not arrest anyone immediately. Instead, he contacted Zhou Zhirou in Chengdu, and the two quickly made plans and arrangements through secret messages.
For a whole week, the military commander took no action, but allowed spies to send intelligence, allowing Japanese planes to bomb Chongqing twice more.
After the bombing squadron in Chengdu was ready and secretly moved to Guangyangba Airport, the military commander quickly captured the traitor in the anti-aircraft artillery unit and secretly controlled the German artillery consultant.
After being tortured, the two men quickly confessed.
The traitor officer was the battalion commander of the Chongqing Anti-aircraft Artillery Corps. He was from Sichuan and came from a wealthy family. He broke his arm during the civil war and was nicknamed the "One-Armed Bandit" by the military commander. He was instigated by the traitor Wang Zhaoming who stayed in Chongqing to rebel.
, surrendered to the enemy in late May, each time he encoded the message into a telegram code and secretly sent it to Chang Kaishen's artillery adviser Weber, who used his identity to easily send the telegram.
Weber was even more of a bastard. He had been bribed by the Japanese before the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance. As long as he knew the information about the Chinese artillery force, he had secretly sent it to the Japanese army to let the Japanese invaders know everything about the deployment of the Chinese artillery force.
Chu.
The two were temporarily detained by the military commander. The Telecommunications Department used Weber's telegraph machine to send false information to the Japanese army in Wuhan, saying that there would be a thunderstorm in Chongqing tonight and was not suitable for aerial bombing. This had two purposes. One was to mislead Japanese aircraft.
Taking off into the air would make it easier for them to stay at the airport and be bombed by the Chinese Air Force; secondly, they would be afraid of Chinese bombing troops and encounter Japanese planes on the way.
That night, 36 Chinese fighter jets escorted 28 bombers and headed straight for the Japanese airport in Wuhan.
The military commanders were not idle either. Based on the confession of the traitor officer, they captured a traitor who Wang Zhaoming stayed in Chongqing. Based on the traitor's confession, they followed the clues and carried out a large-scale anti-traitor operation, and captured 7 Wang traitors in three days.
.
This small favor from Zhou Hexuan can at least ensure Chongqing's air safety for nearly half a year.
