Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 34: Countermeasures (Part 1)

Remember [67♂Book ÷] in one second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-up windows!

The most basic condition for becoming a fleet flagship is to have a powerful communication system. The requirements of later generations in this regard are even more extreme. Many flagships do not even have much actual combat capabilities.

[Prince Eugen]’s radio room is equipped with a number of the latest German navy radio stations. In order to avoid communication confusion during combat, each radio station can independently select a frequency, so that even if it is performed at the same time with several units Contact and communication will not interfere with the transmission of intelligence information.

Because the telecommunications room contains a lot of secrets, such as extremely important equipment such as the Navy Enigma code machine and cipher telex machine, usually even irrelevant personnel of the ship are prohibited from entering, let alone foreign navy soldiers. Therefore, Tanimoto and the naval communications staff can only wait in the lounge between the communications room. First mate Winsbach accompanied two naval servicemen. It looks more like surveillance, but the Japanese understand each other well. The reaction, after all, the soldiers on the shore are still hurting each other.

"Come with me, Lord General." Von Hertz opened the door of the telecom room from inside, and he greeted him standing at the door.

"Have you contacted? Captain Von Hertz." Ichikawa Nakasa, communications staff of the First Fleet Command, stood up and asked eagerly. He just provided the radio communication frequency of the Fleet Command and the commander's Call code.

"Yes, I got in touch. The other party requested to contact General Tanimoto."

"To establish contact so quickly, your ship's radios are very good." Ichikawa flattered.

Because the military radio stations at the time were still using electronic tubes, they were usually bulky and their structure was far less complex than later generations. However, they already had the ability to transmit voice within a certain distance, which was obviously more than the code communication that required human deciphering. Has actual combat efficiency.

The type of radio equipment that can transmit voice is called a wireless phone in the Japanese Navy, and the type of radio station that can only use Morse code in the past is called a wireless telecommunication device. It is due to the Japanese national character. This kind of detail is very clear.

The Fleet Headquarters is also equipped with several wireless telephones for short-distance communication between land positions. However, as the communication distance increases, the radio signal is rapidly attenuated by the interference of the terrain and landforms. At that time, Japan The navy's technology generally makes normal calls no longer possible if the ground is separated by more than two kilometers.

[Prince Eugen] was parked at a distance of more than six kilometers from Jiangwan Road where the Fleet Headquarters is located. Although Shanghai was not blocked by as many high-rise buildings as later generations, the technical bottleneck was there and the communication distance was not Ways to get around the problem.

Now the German Navy’s radio technology can achieve voice communications over ten kilometers, but the Japanese equipment is not good, and the Germans can’t do anything about it, otherwise it will become one-way communications.

The wireless phone on the Japanese navy fighter jet can reach the communication distance. However, the signal is not easily affected by the terrain due to the flying height. Therefore, the communication distance can be extended to more than 30 nautical miles, but it is often affected. Due to the influence of weather and other external environmental factors, this kind of radio has no anti-interference ability. Either you can't hear anything, or there is noise in the headset, so most HNA pilots don't like this communication tool.

Because the Japanese technology cannot meet the requirements, the communication with the dispatching fleet command can only be done using Morse code.

Of course, the Japanese Navy will not use its navy code in front of the Germans, so all calls are made in clear code. This has become a piece of evidence to reveal the truth of the incident in later generations. You must know that this is the magic city of Shanghai. There are several secret radio stations that monitor the communications frequency of the Japanese navy.

So almost all the conversations between Tanimoto and the headquarters were recorded at that time. It was only because of the confidentiality that it was not revealed by historical researchers until decades after the end of the war. As a result, there were two factions in the Japanese army and the navy. The infighting in Shanghai has once again become the focus of discussion.

In order to avoid trouble, Von Hertz asked the soldiers to cover the sensitive equipment with sheets, and then use two screens to separate a small room beside a set of radio stations by the door.

Under the guidance of the German Telecom Corps, the staff officer Ichikawa quickly learned how to operate this radio station. Then he personally pressed the key to start a dialogue with the fleet command on the opposite side.

At the same time, Von Hertz also contacted Colonel Davidson via another set of radio. There is no need to be so troublesome with the Japanese. The special mission carried a portable radio station. Hertz and Davidson had direct voice communication, which once again opened up the horizons of Staff Ichikawa.

As far as he knows, the hospital where the Marshal is located is in the French Concession, at least five kilometers away from here, but the voice heard in his ears is very clear and stable, which proves that Germany’s technology in wireless The navy was far behind.

Actually, before contacting von Hertz, Davidson already knew about the battle that was taking place on the Bund. Sergeant Weber reported the cause of the incident to him through the phone in the hotel at the beginning of the battle. At the same time, Weber reported the other party. With far more troops than his own, he asked the colonel to send reinforcements immediately.

Davis was anxious after answering the call. Although he was confident in the combat effectiveness of the Tomahawk Battalion, the problem was that there were only twelve people staying at the Chinachem Hotel, and the Japanese Army currently seen by Weber had at least one battalion. .

Although Weberban has sufficient ammunition, his strength is limited after all. If the opponent launches a continuous attack, this strength will not last long.

Davidson first ordered Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig to lead the remaining soldiers of the Tomahawk Battalion to the Bund, in addition to the necessary guards, to support Weberban who was struggling there.

As soon as Ludwig walked away, the Director of the Ministry of Industry and Engineering, Kai Wei, and the British Consul General Sir George rushed to the hospital together. They came to inform Davidson of the incident on the Bund. At the same time, the two British were eager to make Germany. People understand that this incident was entirely a unilateral armed invasion by Japan, and that the concession was completely the victim and had no knowledge of this incident.

They hope that the German envoy can stand up at this time to stop the atrocities of the Japanese army and maintain justice and justice in the world.

Sir George also said that Colonel Davidson does not have to worry about the safety of his men. The British Army and the International Business Corps in Shanghai have begun to gather and will be able to go to the Bund to support them. At the same time, the French Concession has also received a notice. Preparations for combat have also begun.

Sir George invited Davidson to join him in negotiations with the Japanese side. It is not enough to protest against such a serious conflict. The Japanese must be questioned about their motives and reasons, and then the concession will be apologized and compensated, and related matters will be severely punished. principal.

But before they could find their door, the phone number from the headquarters of the 13th Army of Japan called to the hospital. Although Sawada was unwilling in every possible way, he had to bow his head brazenly at this time, at any cost. To get the understanding from the German side ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Ten minutes ago, Sawada was in a meeting of the Gendarmerie Command, anxiously waiting for the response from the front with Matsuoka Yoyou and others. Then he received a follow-up report from the Huangpu Road Police Station. After the police found that the lonely troops entered the concession, they clashed with patrols in the concession. Then, without knowing why, the troops suddenly attacked the Chinachem Hotel. According to a report from the observation post on the Broadway Building, the Honda brigade is now engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the guards in the south building of the hotel. Guns and guns are blasting into the sky with black smoke. The specific situation of the battle is currently unknown.

When Admiral Sawada heard the news, he was so frightened that his legs became weak. The group of **** below really stabbed the sky this time.

The Chinachem Hotel is not a special place. The problem is that it can be filled with Chinese and foreign officials. Among them, diplomats at the consul general level can make up a class. Could it be that the officer who led the team was so brave that he dared to take the world's worst and lead his troops to attack this hotel.

Now there is a fierce battle with the guards of the hotel. The imperial Japanese army can't clean up a group of security guards. This group of clutter is not only brainless, but also incompetent. It simply loses the face of Japanese army soldiers. Shamelessly, why didn't the commander who led the team cut his belly.

This incident has become a big issue. If it hurts any Omi diplomat in the hotel, the rest of the cabinet won't say anything about it. Army Minister Tojo will bite off his head. ,

"The latest report, sir." A staff officer rushed into the office and placed a document in front of Zetian.

PS: The first chapter is delivered, and the second chapter will be written after the meal, updated around ten o'clock, thank you for your understanding.

The eyes are a little uncomfortable today, but I still insist on writing a chapter, and the author counts.

Thank you all.
