Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Deciphering the Secret Message of Pearl Harbor

Mu Jianquan, Mu Jianying, Wang Ma, and Wu Qianqian traveled together day and night.Sometimes by car, sometimes on foot.After several rounds, they arrived at Guilin, Guangxi, a transfer station where people from all walks of life gathered.It was already late November 1941 when I arrived in Chongqing, the accompanying capital, via Guilin. Since several people came to Chongqing, the accompanying capital, through Hong Kong, the anti-espionage investigation team set up in the police station by the Military Control Bureau quickly invited several people to the police station.During the Anti-Japanese War, many refugees and people from all walks of life came to Chongqing one after another. Naturally, many Japanese and puppet spies were mixed in. It became a complicated task to identify these hidden spies from thousands of people.The person in charge of interrogating Mu Jianquan, Mu Jianying, Wang Ma, and Wu Qianqian is a beautiful female police officer. This female police officer looks resolute and stern, but there is a touch of sadness on her face. Wang Jianxue, known as the "No. 1 Female Detective", is a detective stationed in the police station by the military command, and is responsible for identifying cases that show signs of espionage from ordinary cases.

After routinely inquiring about the situation of the four, Wang Jianxue took Mu Jianquan, Wang Ma, and Wu Qianqian to a villa near Lianglukou in Chongqing to settle down.Mu Jianquan asked about Mu Jianying's situation, Wang Jianxue just smiled and said: "Since your sister, Ms. Mu Jianying, has studied in Japan, and she was a classmate with many Japanese soldiers currently in China, so we still need to do more for her. Mu Jianquan said anxiously: "My sister's history is clean, I can absolutely guarantee it." Wang Jianxue said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Mu, we will investigate clearly. Because it is a time of war, we are also fulfilling our obligations." I hope Mr. Mu can understand your responsibilities. You can just stay here with peace of mind, and if you need anything, you can come to the police station to find me."

Although Mu Jianquan was anxious, there was nothing he could do. But they didn't know that after Wang Jianxue returned to the police station, he met Mu Jianying alone in the office again.Wang Jianxue said: "Miss Mu, how are you thinking? If you don't want to, I won't force you, and I will let you go immediately. Because through your review, I can conclude that your history is innocent." Mu Jianying said: "It's my honor to be able to do something for the country, but I'm afraid I'm not competent, and I don't want to join any party." Wang Jianxue said: "You don't need to join the Kuomintang, you just need to help us It is enough to decipher the codes of the Japanese army." Mu Jianying said: "Well, it's just my brother and the others..." Wang Jianxue said: "Don't worry, I've already settled for them, your work is absolutely confidential Yes, tell no one."

Mu Jianying said: "But I'm only an amateur in deciphering codes. Do you trust me so much because you read my novel?" What Mr. Chi Buzhou of the Military Commission’s Secret Telegram Research Team deciphered is exactly the same, and I have also read a letter you sent to the Ministry of National Defense. Although it did not attract the attention of the relevant departments, I still admire you very much. For the sake of the motherland's war of resistance, I would like to invite you to participate in this deciphering work, because during this period of time a lot of Japanese coded telegrams have been intercepted. It is said that it is a brand-new and extremely difficult code system. This is a sign that the Japanese will have It’s a big move. In addition, I personally encountered trouble in a spy case I am investigating, and I want to ask you for advice.”

Mu Jianying said: "I don't dare to ask for advice. Tell me what kind of trouble it is." Wang Jianxue said: "We have arrested an important person, but this person has become a vegetative state. He cannot move his whole body, cannot speak, and cannot hear. Only his eyes can move. The doctor said that he will not live for long. I am really I can't think of any way to communicate with him and ask the questions I want to ask." Mu Jianying said: "Then how educated is this person? Can he send and receive telegrams? As long as he can read, I can communicate with him "Wang Jianxue said excitedly: "Really? That's great. He can't send and receive telegrams, but he can read and study in the United States." Mu Jianying said: "That's even easier. If he only It will be very troublesome to know Chinese characters, but it is much easier to know foreign languages. However, this special way of communication must be taught to him first, and the subsequent process will be very laborious. If he is willing to cooperate, it may take a day or two time." Wang Jianxue said: "Then you can tell me the method, it is more important to decipher the Japanese army code." Mu Jianying said: "Okay."

Wang Jianxue said: "Currently, the Technical Research Office of the Military Commission and the Military Special Technology Research Office of our Military Command Bureau are currently deciphering the Japanese army's coded telegram in Chongqing. There is a conflict between them, and now we are separated. Which department do you want to join? I will arrange it." "Then go to the Technical Research Office of the Military Commission, I don't like the military command very much." Mu Jianying smiled embarrassingly, and said , "I'm sorry, I didn't target you. You are a very good person." Wang Jianxue smiled and said: "Miss Mu is outspoken, and I like you very much. It's the same everywhere, as long as it's for the victory of the War of Resistance. I'm here I will send you to the Technical Research Office of the Military Commission. In addition, I will send you some ciphered telegram documents about the Japanese army that our military commander's secret telegram group has previously deciphered. It may be helpful to you. Most of them were helped by the American Herbert Yardley. We deciphered it." Mu Jianying said happily: "That's a good thing, when I was in Hong Kong a few years ago, I had a relationship with that Yardley."

"Also, do you want to see the transcript of my analysis of the conversations with you guys and the relevant information I collected from other sources?" Wang Jianxue suddenly looked at her mysteriously and smiled.Mu Jianying is so smart, "Why, is there a problem?" Wang Jianxue gave her analysis notes as follows: (one) Name: Mu Jianquan Age: twenty-six Birthplace: Shanghai Dropping out of Fudan University because of love is immature and irrational.Because of Jiang Wanping, he left home and went to Peiping, which shows that he is not interested in the family's wealth and is an emotional person.In the past few years in Peiping, no major changes have taken place in either life or work.After returning to Shanghai, he suddenly participated in a complicated espionage battle and successfully escaped.According to his original personality, it is impossible for him to complete this series of tasks.There is only one possibility. He has received some kind of physical training or ideological education. The investigation data shows that he has no gaps in time and should not have the opportunity to receive training, so he must have received special ideological training. Neither the military command nor the central command has his roster, and their brainwashing level is not up to the level that can train him to be as shrewd as he is now.There is only one conclusion, he was brainwashed by the Communists, and he is a member of the Communist Party.

(two) Name: Wang Yurong Age: fifty years old Birthplace: Peking He can recognize a small amount of simple characters, his hands are very callused, his speech is slow, but his actions are quite agile. The whole family is left alone, and Mu Zhengying has been working as a servant in the Mu family when he was alive.It looks like an ordinary housemaid, but when I looked at her, I found her with a strange look in a flash. I often use sharp eyes to observe the eyes of the people I want to screen. I believe in observation People's eyes are the most able to see a person's inner world, and it is difficult for people who are not showing emotions to hide the true feelings in their eyes.With my many years of experience and intuition, I can fully realize that this look is definitely not what an ordinary servant should have. Is it vigilance, precaution, or hiding something?Just because of this strange look, I can feel that her identity should be more than just a servant, but what special identity does she have?The eyes of the Japanese spies would not be like that, and neither could the Communist Party. Although these are all inferences based on my intuition, I believe in such inferences.So what special identity or purpose does she have?

(three) Name: Wu Qianqian Age: 20 years old Birthplace: Hubei Beautiful features, a little shy.Studying at Guangzhou University, she answered questions with a very clear mind, quick thinking, and strong memory. Regarding what I asked about, she entered the university, took to the streets with her classmates during school, publicized the Anti-Japanese War, raised donations for the Anti-Japanese War, and later fled. All told in great detail.I chatted with her with some seemingly ordinary questions. In fact, those questions are used to examine a person's logical thinking and psychological quality. It is difficult for ordinary people not to make mistakes, but she answered them perfectly.As usual, I asked her the names of all the teachers and classmates in college, as well as some other very detailed questions.Only through those people can we understand such an excellent student as her. Such an excellent student has a lot of thoughts about joining the Communist Party, but it is impossible for her to have such a meticulous thinking ability.

After reading it, Mu Jianying looked at Wang Jianxue in amazement. She had never made such a delicate analysis of people, but her logical concept and analytical ability were not bad. The detective is here.Asked: "Why not mine? What are you going to do with them?" Wang Jianxue said: "I'm kidding you, I don't need to do any more analysis on you. Since you will leave Chongqing soon, I don't need to do more research on them." Ying also ignited her analysis materials, saying, "Let's end this matter here, and don't let other people know that someone may be a Communist Party member, especially here in Chongqing." Mu Jianying said: "I am very happy to be able to Knowing such a good military agent as you." Wang Jianxue said: "It is an honor for me to know you. It doesn't matter what your identity is, after all, everyone is Chinese. Let me show you something about Yardley and his deciphering team The Japanese military cipher material deciphered."

The information provided by Wang Jianxue is as follows: From January 12 to 15, 1939, Yardley and his deciphering team in Chongqing intercepted a set of codes for several consecutive days. Sent in secret. Since a Japanese typewriter could not be found at the time, Yardley copied these passwords by hand, that is, in the process of copying, Yardley suddenly discovered that these passwords had striking similarities.Yardley discovered that these coded telegrams used only ten Japanese letters, but the Japanese has forty-eight letters. So, why did the Japanese army only use ten letters and let these letters appear repeatedly? Yardley suddenly remembered that the Japanese used to use ten letters with abbreviated symbols to represent ten numbers in order to increase the speed of sending messages. Will the Japanese army use this method this time?Yardley replaced all the intercepted telegrams with numbers. Yardley began to study the regular numbers carefully.Through observation, Yardley found that these coded telegrams, which also used only ten of the forty-eight Japanese letters, also belonged to this type.He converted letters into numbers and made a preliminary decipherment of existing telegrams.Based on his own experience, Yardley concluded that this was a weather coded telegram reflecting the cloud height, visibility, wind direction, and wind speed of Chongqing to the Japanese army. The same numbers such as "027" that appeared in each copy represented Chongqing, and "231" represented Chongqing. At six o'clock in the morning, "248" is noon.However, due to the lack of previous meteorological data in Chongqing, starting from the third set of codes, the specific meaning of each set of numbers cannot be deduced. From January 12 to 15, 1939, the opportunity came.The Yardley team intercepted eight consecutive coded telegrams at 6 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m. each day.The law of the first and second sets of numbers is the same as Yardley's previous deduction.The third set of passwords of most telegrams is "459", but the sixth set is "401".What do these each represent?Inadvertently, his eyes fell on the password interception date under "401".This password was intercepted at noon that day.At that time, the urban area of ​​Chongqing, which had been foggy for many days, suddenly became clear and clear.In the afternoon, the Japanese army dispatched 27 bombers, killing and injuring more than 200 civilians.Yes, "459" represents bad weather, and "401" informs the enemy that bombing is possible.The password is finally unlocked! It was finally discovered that this was a weather coded telegram, and Yardley speculated that the contents of the eight coded telegrams were probably about the cloud height, visibility, wind direction, and wind speed in Chongqing. Who exactly leaked the Chongqing information to the Japanese army in an accurate and timely manner?He discovered through the direction finder that the coded telegram was sent from the south bank of Chongqing, so Yardley sent his students to sneak into the Nan'an area secretly with the direction finder.At twelve noon one day, the direction finder caught the signal again, this time the source of the signal was only a few hundred meters away from the search personnel.Yardley ordered search personnel to outflank the past and captured the Japanese spy who sent the weather telegram in one fell swoop. But just after the Japanese spy was executed, Yardley intercepted a more secretive and esoteric coded telegram... At this time, Yardley realized that the spies they captured were not password masters, and the real password spies were still hidden In this mountain city. He vowed to catch the mysterious spy hiding behind the scenes. However, there was one thing that puzzled Yardley. How did the Japanese bombers escape the intensive firepower of the Kuomintang air defense forces? Only by deciphering the mysterious code can we know the answer.Yardley found that the intercepted passwords were all in groups of four numbers, such as: 1349, 5727, 7234, and the passwords did not change much. Not only that, but the intercepted password telegrams had another feature: the first telegram of each telegram A group is composed of 5 English letters: mifto lofed, followed by numbers. What do these five different letters represent? Yardley believed that if he could decipher the letters, he would be able to find a way to decipher the text.Yardley wrote down the deciphered letters in monophonic order and rearranged them. The result surprised him, and there were three words with practical meaning, her light grain.Why is this the result?Where do these words come from, and what do they mean?The occurrence of “he said” in a cipher got Yardley thinking: The most common place such a conversational phrase is found is in fiction.Yardley believes that the source of this new code is likely to be an English novel. If you can find out this novel, you can follow the clues and find the spy hidden behind the scenes.But where can I find this novel? At this time, the military committee technical room told him a piece of news, but he was stunned: during the investigation process of the military committee technical room, there was a person who aroused their suspicion. The One-Armed Bandit". Could it be that the "one-armed thief" is a spy hiding behind the scenes?Yardley decided to bide his time and try out The One-Armed Bandit. Yardley took advantage of the opportunity of the "One-armed Thief" to treat guests, and asked a friend with excellent English to write down the words that appeared in the telegram in advance, and then sneaked into the study of "The One-armed Thief" to try to find English words that contained these words. Fiction.After an intense search, he found these words drawn with pens on the inside pages of the famous novel "The Good Earth" by the American female writer Pearl S. Buck. Starting with The Great Earth, Yardley began deciphering hundreds of coded telegrams sent from The One-Armed Bandit, and Yardley and his team cracked new codes.According to the password, the "one-armed bandit" is Wang Jingwei's eyes and ears in Chongqing.He once sent a secret message to the Japanese army, telling the bombers to maintain a flying altitude of 3,660 meters to avoid the Kuomintang anti-aircraft guns with a range of only 3,050 meters. The password of the "One-armed Thief" is actually very simple. He hides the password in the book "Earth". He added the number of months to the date of transmission, plus 10, to find the page number on which the code was located. After completing the documents, Mu Jianying changed into a Kuomintang military uniform with the rank of colonel. In fact, although many cryptography experts in the Technical Research Office of the Military Commission have no real power, they all have very high military ranks. There are many major generals and lieutenant generals.In this special room, Chi Buzhou, Jia Bingwen, Wu Yuliang, Zhu Shaoxian, Zhang Chuande and many other Chinese cryptographers gathered. Wang Jianxue personally introduced Mu Jianying to Chi Buzhou. Chi Buzhou, who is in his thirties, looks very gentle and enthusiastic, with a bookish spirit.Chi Buzhou said: "Ms. Mu is very welcome. At such a young age, she actually deciphered the Japanese "dongfeng, rain" cipher at the same time as us. It's really amazing." Advise." Wang Jianxue said to Chi Buzhou: "Aren't you afraid that she is a spy planted by our Military Control Bureau?" Chi Buzhou said: "You are not Wei Daming, I believe Inspector Wang." Wang Jianxue smiled and said: "It's because of me Has your history been reviewed?" Chi Buzhou said: "You are in charge of anti-espionage work. We have a history of studying in Japan, so we should review it. No, so many of our compatriots who have studied in Japan are all because of you. It was censored, so I am completely relieved." Wang Jianxue said: "Then I will leave first, and I hope you can decipher the content of the current series of Japanese military coded telegrams as soon as possible." Chi Buzhou said: "That is what it should be. Wang Jianxue paid a standard military salute and said, "Farewell." The work of deciphering the code began.The monitoring team was working efficiently, transcribing the cipher telegrams they heard, and Mu Jianying, Chi Buzhou and others started the cryptanalysis and comparison research work together.Mu Jianying admired Chi Buzhou's sensitivity to codes and his talent in deciphering them.During the days and nights of working together, she was mainly responsible for assisting Chi Buzhou in sorting out the messy materials. In the process of flipping through the daily secrets, what you see is still familiar and unfamiliar things, or countless numbers or letters connected together one after another, making people dazzled and ignorant.Mathematicians and linguists have used their knowledge to launch crazy attacks on the series of messages of this code. The work here is busy day and night. Every time Mu Jianying leaves work, either Wang Jianxue will pick her up in person or she will send someone to take her back to her residence.Wang Jianxue told her that she had successfully used the method she taught to have a conversation with the vegetative person who only had moving eyes, but as the case progressed, it became more and more complicated.During the chat with Mu Jianying, both of them roughly understood that their work was in a difficult situation. Although many of the cryptographers studied in Japan and are very familiar with the Japanese language, they still feel that language barriers are not small when they are actually used in cryptographic deciphering. For example, the pronunciation of Chinese characters in Japanese is often one sound with multiple words.For example, the above-mentioned "long" is pronounced as チョウ, but the pronunciation of "diao", "Zhang", "Ding", "Ding", "chang", "chao", "zheng", and "die" is also the same.In this way, other words can be triggered, such as "investigation" (チョウサ), "long-term" (チョウキ), etc., so as to decipher the two Japanese letters of サキ. However, it is still difficult to fundamentally solve the problem of deciphering Japanese secrets only by such piecemeal efforts.In order to decipher all these daily secrets, it is necessary to apply several deciphered double-word groups to similar daily secrets that have been detected one after another, expand the scope and quantity of decipherable double-word groups, and trigger each other to reduce the number of unknowns. Increase the known number.In addition, it is also necessary to seek a safe, reliable, unimpeded technical know-how that can be broken through by any daily secret. There are ten case particles in Japanese, which are indispensable for making sentences.They are ガ, ノ, ニ, ヲ, デ, ヘ, ト, ヵラ, マデ, ョリ.Among them, the first four are the most important.Basically, on the one hand, these ten case particles must always be followed by the noun to determine the position of the noun in the sentence, but on the other hand, they are always independent of the nouns they are attached to, and they will never cooperate.Therefore, in the day-secret telegram, they each independently form a double-word group.ガ is the subject particle, and every sentence that has a subject must follow it.ヲ is an accusative particle, and every sentence that has an object must follow it closely.Both of these occur very frequently.Every ten or eight characters (referring to the two-character group of the telegram), you can see them appearing one after another, and you can often visually detect the fingers, this is レ, that is ヲ, nine out of ten.Especially at the end of the telegram, the phrase "return telegram ヲ听ゥ" (please call back, Japanese is ヘン, デン, ヲ, コゥ) must be attached. So, they used all kinds of methods they could think of to find out the unknown with what they knew about the same kind of daily secrets that they continued to detect every day, and they finally succeeded. Hundreds of daily secrets were also solved. After the successful deciphering, the cryptography experts who have been silent all the time were all ecstatic. This is the result of the hard work of countless wisdom, and the content of the ciphers deciphered is also very valuable. Mu Jianying sorted out the series of telegrams that had translated this set of codes: Telegram one: The United States has suddenly passed the embargo bill against our country on August 1, which adds fuel to the long-planned southward policy of our imperial navy.Because our navy's oil reserves are only enough for one year, once the embargo is implemented, we will not be able to buy a drop of oil from the United States and the Netherlands.So the base camp decided to move southward in order to seek oil resources, and the military headquarters immediately sent personnel to Singapore, Hawaii, and Batafia (Batsvia) to cooperate with the operation. Telegram two: So far, I have sent troops to the north of Annan (now North Vietnam).On July 2, His Majesty the Emperor "convened an imperial meeting and made a major decision: to fight against Britain and the United States, and stationed in Annan (now South Vietnam). Our army has successfully stationed in Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), and our navy has stationed in Cameron Bay ( CAM-RANH B.)". (See "The Final Version of the Pacific War" edited by Kengo Tominaga, hereinafter referred to as "Pacific War") Telegram Three: The High Command and the Cabinet held an imperial meeting on September 6, and decided: "If the negotiations between Japan and the United States fail before the beginning of October, we will decide to go to war. You must start preparations for this as soon as possible." Telegram Four: The state of Hawaii has a population of 600,000, of which 75% live on O'Af Island. Pearl Harbor is located on the south coast of the island and is the base of the US Navy.Honolulu has a population of about 300,000.There are 150,000 Japanese citizens in Hawaii, 83,000 of whom are on O'Af Island, which provides favorable conditions for the activities of our intelligence personnel. The front gate of Pearl Harbor was heavily guarded, but the back gate was wide open.Because I found a small teahouse at the back door, opened by an old Japanese couple, selling Coca-Cola, candies, etc. Most of the customers are sailors on ships.Although this is also a restricted area, outsiders are not prohibited from coming to the small teahouse to drink tea. The following is the resident force in Hawaii that I have collected. The navy has eight battleships, ten heavy cruisers, twelve light cruisers, three aircraft carriers, and about a hundred others; the army has one division, and the air force has There are about 300 aircraft; facilities include main canals, repair factories, buried oil pools, etc. Telegram five: The ships anchored at Pearl Harbor on the 11th were as follows: 1. Eleven battleships, five heavy cruisers, ten light cruisers, thirty-five destroyers, two destroyer motherships, two diving motherships, twelve submarines, and more than ten transport ships. 2. The aircraft carrier is escorted by two destroyers and is sailing in the Pacific Ocean. Telegram Six: Ships anchored at Pearl Harbor on the 24th and 25th: Six battleships, six light cruisers, one destroyer, four destroyers, six submarines, and three aircraft carriers. Telegram Seven: Nineteen forty-one, nine, twenty-four top secret In the future you must try to report the movement of ships as follows. 1. Pearl Harbor is divided into five waters: A water area (between Verde Island and the armory), B water area (south and west of Verde Island), C water area (the river side of the east flow), D water area (the river side of the central flow), and E water area (the river side of the west flow and its pathways). 2. Warships and aircraft carriers only need to report their berths in Hong Kong. 3. Briefly explain the ship type and ship type. 4. When more than two warships call at the port, they are expected to be registered according to the facts. There are about 60 or 70 secret telegrams similar to the ones listed above.What these telegrams say is categorized as follows: First, the total number of American ships anchored at Pearl Harbor, the number and names of ships of the same type are required to be listed in detail.The Consulate General in Honolulu sent multiple telegrams to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Second, repeated inquiries and reports were made on the key content of the telegrams, such as the location of warships and aircraft carriers in Pearl Harbor and the time of departure. Thirdly, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly inquired on the day of the week that the most American warships berth at Pearl Harbor.After many observations and investigations, the Consulate General in Honolulu replied by telegram saying: "It's Sunday." (This is very important, and became the basis for Japan to choose December 8 (Sunday) to attack Pearl Harbor later.) Fourth, the rules for officers and soldiers to go ashore and go to sea, especially the start and end times of officers and soldiers' vacations on Sundays, are also one of the main contents of the secret telegrams. Fifth, the question of the weather and weather in Hawaii also appeared in the secret telegrams.At that time, neither Japan nor the United States had the weather forecasting measures that are common today. It is said that the weather was still treated as a military secret, which made it difficult for the Consulate General in Honolulu.Later, after consulting an amateur astronomer among the Japanese diaspora, he had been observing meteors in the sky for thirty years.He said that there had been no storms in Hawaii for thirty years, and the mountains that traversed O'Af Island from east to west were cloudy in the north and sunny in the south.In other words, the aircraft can fly at any time. (In hindsight it dawned on me that this was a weather survey for the bombing of Pearl Harbor.) The above five items are just Chi Buzhou's rough summary of the contents of the deciphered secret telegram.After everyone analyzed all the content, they all faintly felt that Japan was likely to attack the United States, so they quickly reported to their superiors.Mu Jianying also told Wang Jianxue about these things. This is the last cipher deciphered after the interception: (1) Immediately burn all special cipher telegraph books, leaving only ordinary cipher books.At the same time burn all confidential documents. (2) Notify the relevant depositors to transfer to a neutral national bank as far as possible. (3) The imperial government decides to take drastic measures in accordance with the imperial council. After Chi Buzhou deciphered it, he deeply felt the importance of the secret code and immediately sent it to Mr. Huo Shizi, the team leader at that time.According to the military intelligence about Pearl Harbor that he translated before, he told Huo that there might be "east wind and rain" between Japan and the United States.Mr. Huo Shizi nodded and said yes, and raised a pen to add his comments: "On the eve of August 13th, the Japanese ambassador to China, Kawagoe, sent a secret telegram to the Japanese consulates in China, saying that through our three parties in Shanghai, mainland, sea and foreign The Izumo flagship went to Wusongkou for a meeting, and a decision has been made to order all consulates in China to immediately burn all kinds of coded telegram books. This shows that the Japanese invaders have decided to launch an all-out war against our country. Now Japan’s Greater East Asia Province (Note: This is Mistake by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and the same secret message ordered the Japanese embassy in the United States to immediately burn all kinds of cipher books, which can prove that Japan has decided to launch a war against the United States soon." Chi Buzhou interjected: "The date may be this Sunday Huo nodded in agreement, and said: "I will report to Acting Director Mao Qingxiang face to face." At that time, Huo Ji personally took the newly translated Japanese imperial code information and rushed to the director's office to hand it over to Director Mao Qingxiang.Immediately after Mao read it, he personally delivered the secret message to Chiang Kai-shek.Afterwards, Mao Qingxiang told Huo that Jiang also immediately notified the U.S. side in Chongqing of the contents of the secret telegram.It is a pity that the United States underestimated China's technology in studying Japanese coded telegrams at that time, and did not believe that the Kuomintang had deciphered Japanese coded telegrams.At the same time, because of a scam set up by the Japanese government in advance, a special envoy was sent to Washington to pretend to negotiate.The United States believed it was true and ignored the important information that China handed over to them.What is even more cunning is that while preparing for the attack, the Japanese dispatched a special envoy to Washington in a hurry to engage in fake negotiations to confuse the US. Known as the "spirit of the Japanese army", General Yamamoto Fifty-six, the Japanese strategist and commander-in-chief of the United Fleet, finally led the team on December 7, 1941. Under the long-distance attack of the six aircraft carriers Akagi (flagship), Kaga, Soryu, Hiryu, Xianghe and Zuikaku as the main force, the Japanese army launched a violent attack on the base of the US Navy's Pacific Command in Honolulu. , Created the "Pearl Harbor Incident" that shocked the world. When the sneak attack was just successful, Lieutenant Mizuo Fuchida, the first echelon leader of the Japanese air force in charge of the bombing, sent out the "east wind, rain" (perhaps indeed "tiger, tiger, tiger") that "has entered a state of war with the United States". This cryptic code.The argot code was quickly broadcast by radio stations in Japan, requiring the consulates to take immediate measures. The next day, the Japanese Air Force bombed the Kai Tak Airport in Kowloon, and the Army began to attack the New Territories and the Kowloon Peninsula.The Pacific War broke out in full swing.The British troops stationed in Kowloon were limited in strength, had no actual combat experience, and had extremely poor combat effectiveness. They could not withstand the fierce attack of the Japanese army with Bushido spirit at all, and only made a symbolic counterattack.Soon Kowloon fell, and Hong Kong was also in danger. A large number of refugees from Kowloon also fled to Hong Kong Island. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of Japanese aircraft and artillery, Hong Kong was in a panic without power and water supply.The former paradise turned into a hell on earth in a blink of an eye.A large number of well-known Chinese leftists, cultural celebrities, secret communist parties and their families gathered on this isolated island, such as Mao Dun, Zou Taofen, Ding Cong, Liu Yazi, He Xiangning, Liu Qingyang, Sha Qianli, Hu Feng, Fan Changjiang, Xia Yan, Qiao Guanhua , Jin Zhongchi, Liao Mosha, Hu Kao, Deng Wentian, Ye Fang, Lan Ma, Feng Zi, Te Wei, Yu Feng, Ge Baoshu, Li Peng, Hui Yiqun, Yang Chao, Yu Songhua, Yang Gang, Hu Die, etc. .For these situations, the Japanese intelligence agency has already detected and prepared to catch them all. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China paid close attention to these progressives. Zhou Enlai instructed Liao Chengzhi, the head of the Hong Kong branch of the Southern Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, to take charge of rescuing these people from Hong Kong, and never let these elites of the motherland fall into the hands of the Japanese. Immediately after the Japanese army landed in Hong Kong, traffic between Hong Kong and Kowloon was blocked.The streets and buildings were covered with notices from the Japanese army, ordering "anti-Japanese elements" to report to the Japanese administrative department, otherwise they will be shot and killed. When the situation was extremely critical, with the planning and help of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the CCP, the Hong Kong Station of the CCP’s Underground Party, the Hong Kong Office of the Eighth Route Army, and the CCP’s Dongjiang guerrillas, a large-scale retreat of ethnic progressives in Chinese history began.Most of the people entered the Kuomintang-controlled area of ​​Guangdong Province through the Dongjiang guerrilla zone, and then scattered to various places. Some people went to Guangxi via Macau and Zhaoqing and then to the rear.The evacuation traveled more than 10,000 miles and more than 800 people were transferred.Mao Dun later said: "This is the greatest rescue work since the Anti-Japanese War." Mu Jianying then left the military technical room, but this special experience was something she would never forget in her life, and it would also be her eternal secret.But the discussion with Wang Jianxue on this matter left a deep impression on her.Immediately after the Pearl Harbor incident, many rumors spread. Some people said that US President Roosevelt had long wanted to join the war, and Roosevelt knew about the Japanese plan through some channels before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.However, because American law stipulates that participation in the war must be approved by Congress, and the American public does not want to be involved in this war, Roosevelt used a bitter strategy to win the support of the people at the cost of the heavy loss of Pearl Harbor in order to achieve the purpose of participating in the war .Because everyone finds it strange that none of the American aircraft carriers at Pearl Harbor were anchored at the base when the Japanese army attacked them, so the aircraft carrier representing the main force of the navy did not suffer any losses. Wang Jianxue and Mu Jianying's views on this statement are surprisingly similar. Their views are: If Roosevelt really confirmed the Japanese plan to attack Pearl Harbor, why didn't he order the defenders of Pearl Harbor to be on alert in advance? , to meet the arrival of the Japanese army?Then the United States and Japan may draw a tie. Even so, the request to participate in the war is fully supported by the parliament and the people of the country.Even if the loss of the U.S. military at Pearl Harbor was very small, the conditions for participating in the war were met.No major sacrifice is necessary to achieve this.More importantly, since the news of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor can reach the president, it must have passed through many departments, and many important officials have also known the news, and they will all support the president's decision. Do you want to make such a sacrifice to achieve the purpose of participating in the war?Can such a decision be concealed?The absence of the aircraft carrier may be just a coincidence. People like Wang Jianxue who do not believe in coincidences say it is a coincidence.There are too many mysteries left by the war. Author press: 1.此回有关破译密码的情节大都摘自密码专家池步洲先生写的《抗战回忆录》和日本负责珍珠港地区情报侦察的间谍吉川猛夫所著《珍珠港间谍的回忆》，以及美国的密码专家赫伯特·亚德利写的《中国黑室——谍海奇遇》。 2.有关日军偷袭珍珠港的密码被破译的说法特别多，有的出入还很大。 1941年下半年，特技室侦译到日本空军在太平洋方面进行轰炸的准备情况，有密谋策划偷袭美国太平洋舰队司令部所在战略要地珍珠港的部署密电。戴笠便把这一消息电告国民政府驻美副武官兼军统站长萧勃，要萧勃告知驻美武官郭法权，立即转告美国各有关部门注意。但那时的美国将军是很看不起中国的，认为中国根本不可能获此消息，并怀疑中国人是想以此破坏美日关系。（注：此事传闻甚广，请参阅邱沈钧、丁绪曾撰写的《抗战期间成都对日防空情报工作》。） 抗战期间，在戴笠主掌的军统局里，当时三十岁的姜毅英在最机密的部门译电组，负责破解敌方的密码，拦截到日本的偷袭计划，戴笠马上通过管道让美国知道，没想到对方不但不领情，还轻视地以为这是挑拨美日的伎俩，但噩梦如期发生了。 而很多影视作品对中国人破译日军偷袭珍珠港密码更是表现得特别乱套。在这里笔者只是选择了其中的一种说法。小说为了增加趣味性，虚构的情节当然更多，读者不能当做历史来读。笔者是怀着对为祖国抗战做出重要贡献的密码专家池步洲先生深深的敬意而写的这段情节。摘录了一些池先生写的《抗战回忆录》的细节，并做了部分修改，是为了情节需要。Hereby explain. 3.再说点与珍珠港有关的一个最特殊的人和密码的故事。 山本五十六策划的偷袭珍珠港可说是他军事生涯中最得意的一件事。他后来策划的声东击西的袭击中途岛的军事行动，企图一举歼灭美国在太平洋的海军主力。这个计划其实也是十分高明的，但是不幸的是通讯密码却被美国海军的密码专家破译了，中途岛海战以日军大败而成为历史。后来山本五十六要乘飞机前去巡视前线岛屿的官兵时，在途中被前来伏击的美国空军袭击歼灭。这也是密码电报被破译的结果。但是到底是谁破译的这份导致山本五十六机毁人亡的密码电报的呢？池步洲在《抗战回忆录》中说是他破译的，并转告美国。而很多文章却说是美国人自己破译的。历史上的很多事情往往都是这样的。
