Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

"It will take a long time for the personnel training of heavy bombers and the familiarization of aircraft equipment. If we really regain Pyongyang, or even recover the area north of the 4th parallel, then we will urgently ask you to provide Tu-[-]. That's too late."

"Comrade Wang Ruofei, I think you probably know that the total amount of aid for your weapons and equipment for the Korean War is limited. If you particularly want to obtain Tu-4, then the total amount of aid for other short-range aircraft and army equipment may have to be reduced accordingly. "

"If our army's equipment is reduced to the extent that it cannot meet the needs, then the ground battle will indeed be greatly affected. However, if we get 24 Tu-4s, the volunteers will get what the army can't advance in North Korea. The advantage obtained, then for the entire battle situation, I am afraid it will be more helpful..."

Regarding the introduction of the new batch of Tu-4 bombers, the final bottom line agreed by Wang Ruofei and the Prime Minister is to pay in installments in the form of interest-free loans. However, if the operation is done properly, Tu-4 can be obtained at a discounted price, and the payment may be repaid in installments in the form of loans. Sex is still great.

Chapter 77, the road is one foot high

"The 50 Center just sent a telegram, and it was sent to Zhisi and us at the same time," Tang Hua just walked into the intelligence center, and Li Kenong pushed over a telegram.

"At 11 a.m. on November 4th, the U.S. tactical-level radio station began to change the key. The center is collecting and accumulating ciphertext, and is preparing to crack it again. Whether it is a normal key rotation or the U.S. military has already noticed it, please analyze it and judge it. "

Check the time, it's 11pm on November 4th.Four hours ago, all the M-1s of the US military were re-keyed, and now their wireless communications are temporarily secret from our side.

"The U.S. military's M-209 tactical radio had the habit of changing keys regularly during World War II," said Li Kenong, "about every two months. We have not confirmed the cycle and specific time point."

Tang Hua took the two stacks of deciphered telegrams from today and yesterday to read again.

In this era, cipher machines are not absolutely safe. The U.S. military also knows that the German army cracked some of the M-209 messages in World War II (although it was only after the fact), so it is routine to refresh the keys of cipher machines regularly.The key that the cipher machine changes regularly does not let the correspondent trot all the way to deliver small notes to each battalion, but has a key table.For example, there is a way to give the cryptographer ten groups of 6-digit letters before the expedition, and ask him to memorize them by heart.To change the key, a sentence that looks a bit strange is added to the normal telegram, which is the code for changing the key.The receiver translated the telegram. After seeing this sentence and understanding the meaning, he inserted a strange sentence in the next reply, saying that I have received it. I still remember the next set of keys, and I will replace it now.

There are still a lot of deciphered telegrams in the two days, and each stack is very thick.Tang Hua read it word by word, and found no such strange words.

No, not right.Cryptographer Wang Yongjun is at the 50 Center. He must have analyzed the telegrams in the past two days, and he probably didn't find any strange codes, so he sent the message for help.

"Minister Li, I think the key is Zhisi's research and judgment."

Li Kenong also agreed with Tang Hua. "Wait for Shiji and the others to make a study and judgment on the battlefield before drawing a conclusion."

Chi Division.

"Mr. Peng, we have synthesized the currently known information on the battlefield. Regarding the capture and capture of the radio stations and communication personnel of the US Army and the South Korean Army, the report is as follows..."

Now, in the entire Zhisi Division, there are only three people who know the specific situation of Center 50: Mr. Peng, Ye Ting, and "Xiao Cao".Xie Fang, Chief of Staff of the Volunteer Army, did not know.Therefore, when Mr. Peng investigated the U.S. military’s replacement of the key, he could only hide it. He asked Xie Fang to sort out and summarize whether the volunteers had seized the radio station and captured the enemy’s communicators during the battles in the past few days when the volunteers wiped out the enemy.

"On the night of October 10, during the Battle of Onjeong, our army annihilated a regiment headquarters of the South Korean puppet army, but before the battle ended, the South Korean army blew up the telegraph with a grenade. was killed in battle."

"...In the battle in Guchang, our army roughly wiped out a regiment of the South Korean Army, but its commander escaped with several officers and radio stations..."

"During the Yunshan battle from the evening of November 11st to the early morning of November 1rd, our army seized an incompletely destroyed US military M-3 military radio station in the stronghold north of the city. It belonged to the first battalion of the 209th regiment of the US cavalry division. The key book and key strip were seized. The U.S. military in the west of the city was the second battalion of the 8th regiment. After the stronghold was breached, the cipher officer fled south with the cipher machine. After that, he disappeared and our army did not capture it. During the general attack, our army captured 8 Tainan The M-1 military radio station used by the 209st North Korean Division captured 3 South Korean communication officers; captured 1 M-8 radio station used by the 209th Regiment Headquarters of the 1st U.S. Cavalry Division and captured [-] U.S. military communication officer, but did not capture the secret Keybooks and key strips. The cipher machines and wreckage of cipher machines seized in the battle have been collected and sent to Anton. The communications officers of the U.S. Army and the South Korean Army who have been screened out have also been selected from the ranks of prisoners of war. Send it, it should arrive in Anton this evening, and then hand it over to the intelligence department."

Mr. Peng and Ye Ting looked at each other and communicated with each other for a while.

"On the morning of November 11, the 3th Regiment of the 8st US Cavalry Division was wiped out. This news will be reported to the 3th Army and even the United Nations Command during the day on the 8rd. The M-8 radio station and the communication officer lost contact. The U.S. military will not know whether the front-line troops have faithfully implemented the order to destroy communication equipment. In particular, individual communication officers will worry about their bad memory and secretly send the keys they want to memorize. Copying it on a note, this situation cannot be ruled out... Therefore, after learning that the 3th regiment was wiped out, the U.S. military will inevitably replace the M-209 key. This is a normal operation. From the time point of view, the news was received during the day on the 8rd , Make a decision on the night of the 209rd, distribute the key, and start the new key on the morning of the 3th, the timing makes sense."

In Room 0, the secret meeting of Mr. Peng, Ye Ting, and "Xiao Cao". "Xiao Cao" expressed his opinion.

"I also read the telegrams intercepted on November 11 by the U.S. Army, as well as the communications between the U.S. Cavalry Division 3 and the 8th Army. They did not express any confusion about the situation on the front line," Ye Ting said.

President Peng hummed to agree. "The facts can basically be clarified, so call the 50 Center and tell us about our research and judgment results."

Jiaohe 50 Center.

"Here is a telegram in the old code!"

Although the U.S. military's telegrams have completely changed the key since 9:50 in the morning, according to the work flow and Wang Yongjun's work habits, every time he intercepts a telegram, he has to try it on the T3 virtual machine.At 30:[-] in the afternoon, a telegram was actually translated.

Wang Yongjun immediately went to the interception office and asked for the approximate sending location of the telegram.

"According to the location, this telegram was sent near Hamhung City."

"Hamhung City is on the eastern front line, far away from the 8th Army headquarters in Pyongyang, and the traffic in Hamhung is very difficult. It may be that we have not received the notice of temporary key replacement." Wang Yongjun immediately made a judgment.

"Director Wang, another batch of US military telegrams has been intercepted, take a look." The director of the Interception Division handed Wang Yongjun a stack of telegrams.With this stack, plus the intercepted telegrams from this morning to now, Wang Yongjun found that the ciphertext sample was enough for 2500 letters.

Regardless of whether you Americans have discovered anything, break it first and then talk about it!

Wang Yongjun strode towards the supercomputing hall.

"The TC50 is turned on! All teams are in place immediately! No. 3, where is No. 3?"

Tokyo.

Willoughby, the intelligence director of the US Far East Command, looked at the information in front of him for a long time.

These materials include the battle situation reported by the 8th Army, newspaper reports obtained from within China, Chinese radio report records, and some civilian radio transcripts.There is also information about Beijing that was requested from the Taiwan government and obtained by the government's spy system.

After approaching the Sino-North Korean border, the South Korean army was attacked by unknown troops several times in a row.According to reports from these South Koreans, many of the troops who attacked them spoke Chinese.What exactly does this mean?

On November 11, the 3th Regiment of the 8st US Cavalry Division suffered a devastating blow-this is the report of the 8th Army. In Willoughby's view, the 8th Regiment was basically wiped out.The 3st U.S. Cavalry Division reported that at least 8 soldiers surrounded the [-]th Regiment.Willoughby believes that this number is not exaggerated, and it must be a joint army of the Chinese and the Korean People's Army.

After the draft was finalized, Willoughby wrote today's "Daily Intelligence Summary".

"The reason why the Chinese call the troops sent to North Korea volunteer troops is to claim that there is no regular Chinese army in North Korea, to avoid the reputation of 'invasion', and if it is defeated, it will not damage the reputation of the Chinese army."

"...The Far East Intelligence Office estimates that the number of Chinese troops entering North Korea is 3 to 4, of which about 1.6 have already fought with the US military. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Chinese troops currently entering North Korea to fight are sporadic troops .”

"But it must be noted that China has assembled 44 divisions in Manchuria, of which 29 divisions are assembled on the north bank of the Yalu River, which can be immediately deployed in North Korea. China has huge military potential, which is crucial."

Willoughby's telegram was dispatched as soon as it was written.After Washington received the telegram, the research and judgment of this intelligence summary fell into chaos.

Because the director of the State Department's China Affairs Bureau and the director of the Central Intelligence Agency Biddle have different views.Kolob believes that the Chinese troops gathered at the border (in fact, they have already entered North Korea) may all enter North Korea in the future, but Director Bi does not think so.

"China has not and will not participate in the war on a large scale." Director Bi, who has just taken office for less than a month, has the stubbornness of an Indiana native. Between 1.5 people, the main force of the Chinese is still in Manchuria. The most reasonable and wise choice for China is to provide material support to North Korea and send some Manchurian Korean soldiers to North Korea.”

Director Bi and Colob could not convince anyone, Acheson and Truman could not make a statement, and Bradley was hunting in Connecticut and would be on vacation until November 11.Now I have to let MacArthur in Tokyo make the first decision.

MacArthur's opinion?Of course, let the 8th Army directly crush it and wipe out the [-] to [-] Chinese troops.

Beijing, two days ago.

"At present, it is still inappropriate to publish the battle report in the name of the Volunteer Army and the Korean People's Army Joint Command, but in the name of the People's Army General Command. The Volunteer Force for National Defense participated and fought bravely," the Prime Minister said.

"We not only need to inspire the fighting spirit of the people of the whole country, gain the sympathy and support of the people of the world, but also confuse the enemy, conceal strategic intentions, and create conditions for the volunteers to fight in the next step."

The Volunteer Army launched a series of offensive battles shortly after entering the DPRK. The chairman was also happy with several victories, but it will undoubtedly be more beneficial if the next stage of the battle can be fought under the condition of keeping the information confidential, so it is not appropriate to fully announce the Volunteer Army's details Condition.

"Using public information to analyze the real strategic trend, Tang Hua will use it, and maybe the Americans will also use it. We must learn to hide the trend strategically and deceive them as much as possible." The chairman added.

"Speaking of this," the Prime Minister stopped writing his hand, "the last time MacArthur's Yuanshan landed was predicted, Tang Hua didn't read the news from the front page of the newspaper, he said that MacArthur put it on the front page Smoke bombs, the small tofu cubes in the second, third and fourth versions are the truth."
