Battle of the Third Reich

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

[Prince Eugen] The radio room is equipped with many of the latest radio stations of the German Navy. In order to avoid communication confusion during combat, each radio station can independently choose a frequency, so that even if it communicates with several units at the same time, It 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 cryptographic telegraph, it is usually forbidden to enter even unrelated personnel of this ship, let alone foreign naval soldiers. Therefore, Tanimoto and the naval communications staff can only wait in the lounge outside the communications room. The first officer, Winsbach, accompanied by two naval personnel, looked more like surveillance, but the Japanese understood the other’s Reaction, after all, the soldiers of the two countries on the shore are still hurting each other at the moment.

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

"Are you contacted? Captain von Hertz." Ichikawa Isa, the communications staff of the First Fleet Command, stood up and asked eagerly that he had just provided the radio frequency of the fleet command and the call code of the commander.

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

"The connection was established so quickly, and your ship's radio force technology is very good." Ichikawa flattered.

At that time, military radio stations used electronic tubes, which were usually bulky and the structure was far less complicated than that of later generations, but they also had the ability to transmit voice within a certain distance. This is obviously more effective than the code communication that requires human deciphering. .

The radio equipment that can transmit voice is called a radiotelephone in the Japanese Navy, and the radio station that used Morse code in the past is called a wireless telecommunication machine. This is due to the Japanese national character. The question is very clear.

The Fleet Command is also equipped with several radiotelephones for short-distance communication between land positions, but as the communication distance increases, the radio signal is rapidly attenuated by the interference of terrain and landforms. In general, it is no longer possible to make normal calls when the ground is more than two kilometers apart.

[Prince Eugen] The docking position is more than six kilometers away from Jiangwan Road where the Fleet Command is located. Although Shanghai was not blocked by so many tall buildings at the time, the technical bottleneck was there, and the communication distance was a way to get around. The problem.

Now the radio technology of the German navy can achieve voice communication of more than ten kilometers, but the equipment on the Japanese side is not available, and the Germans are helpless, otherwise it will become one-way communication.

The communication distance of the radiotelephones on the Japanese navy fighters is quite attainable, but this is because the signal is not easily affected by the terrain due to the flying height, so the communication distance can be extended to more than thirty nautical miles, but it is also often affected by weather and other Due to the influence of external environmental factors, this kind of radio has no anti-jamming capability. Either you can't hear anything, or the earphones are full of noise, so most HNA pilots don't like this communication tool.

Because the Japanese technology does not meet the requirements, communication with the detachment command can only be done using Morse code.

Of course, the Japanese Navy will not use its own 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. To know that this is the magic city Shanghai, every time There are several secret radio stations monitoring the communication frequency of the Japanese Navy.

As a result, the conversation between Tanimoto and the headquarters was almost completely recorded at that time, only because it was a matter of confidentiality, and it was not revealed by the historical researchers until decades after the end of the war. As a result, the Japanese Army and Navy factions in Shanghai Infighting has once again become the focus of people's talk.

In order to avoid trouble, von Hertz asked the soldiers to cover those sensitive equipment with bed sheets, and then used two screens to separate a cubicle by a radio station near the door.

Under the guidance of the German telecommunications soldiers, Ichikawa quickly learned how to operate the radio station, and then he personally pressed the electric button to start a dialogue with the fleet command opposite.

At the same time, von Hertz also contacted Colonel Davidson through another set of radios. There is no need to be as troublesome as the Japanese here. The Special Envoy carried a portable radio station. Hertz and Davidson conducted direct voice communication, which once again opened up the horizon for 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 voices heard in the ears are exceptionally clear and stable enough to prove that Germany’s technology in radiotelephony has far removed the Japanese Navy Leaving behind.

In fact, before contacting von Hertz, Davidson already knew the battle was happening on the Bund. At the beginning of the battle, Sergeant Weber reported the cause of the incident to him in detail through the phone in the hotel. At the same time, Webber reported that the other party’s strength Beyond himself, he requested the colonel to immediately dispatch reinforcements.

Davis was anxious when he answered the phone. Although he was very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Tomahawk, the problem was that there were only twelve people left in the Chinachem Hotel. At present, Weber saw at least one battalion in the Japanese Army.

Although Webber has ample ammunition, his strength is limited. If the opponent launches a continuous attack, this force will not last long.

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

Ludwig had just left his forefoot, and in the hind foot, the Director General of the Ministry of Industry and Industry, Mr. Kaiwei Wei, and the British Consul General Sir George rushed to the hospital together. They came to inform Davidson of the Bund. At the same time, the two British people were eager to make the Germans understand. This incident is completely a unilateral armed invasion by Japan, and the concession is completely a victim. It is completely unaware of this incident.

The German special envoy they hoped to stand up to stop the atrocities of the Japanese army and safeguard the justice and fairness of the world.

Sir George also said that Colonel Davidson did not have to worry about the safety of his men. The British Army in Shanghai and the International Business Corps have begun to gather, and they can immediately go to the Bund to support. At the same time, the French Concession has also received a notice. Presumably, the French foreign army has also begun. Ready for combat.

Sir George invited Davidson to join him in negotiations with the Japanese side. Such serious conflicts are not enough to raise protests. It is necessary to question the Japanese motives and reasons, and then to apologize and compensate the concession and severely punish the relevant persons in charge.

But before waiting for them to come to the door, the Japanese Thirteenth Army Headquarters called the hospital first. Although Admiral Zetian was unwilling in his heart, he must bow his head with a cheeky face at this time, and he must get Germany at all costs. Understanding.

Ten minutes ago, Sawada was at a meeting of the Gendarmerie Command, waiting anxiously with Matsuoka Yoyo and others for the response ahead. Then he received a follow-up report from the Huangpu Road Police Station. After the police found that the solo troops entered the concession, they clashed with the concession patrol, and then did not know the reason. The troops suddenly launched an attack on the Chinachem Hotel. According to the observation post report 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.

When Lieutenant General Zetian was informed of this news, he was so frightened that even his legs became soft. The group of **** below this time really broke the sky.

The Chinachem Hotel is nothing special. The problem is that it can now be filled with Chinese and foreign officials, of which diplomats at the level of consul general can make up a class. The officer who led the team had eaten the bear heart, and even dared to brave the world to lead the army to attack the restaurant.

There is still a fierce battle with the hotel's guards. The great Japanese imperial army can't clean up a group of security guards. This group of clutter is not only brainless, but also incompetent. It is almost ashamed of the face of the Japanese army soldiers. Why didn't the commander who led the team cut the belly?

This incident has already become serious. If any Omi diplomat in the hotel is really hurt, the rest of the cabinet will not say that Secretary of the Army Tojo will bite his head directly. ,

"The latest report, Your Excellency." A staff member hurried into the office and put a document in front of Zetian.

ps: The first chapter is sent, and the second chapter is written after dinner, and it will be updated around ten o'clock. Thank you for your consideration.

Today, my eyes are a little uncomfortable, but I still insist on reading a chapter. The author speaks and counts.

thank you all.
