"We also want to know what they're talking about!" Jim shook the telegram in his hand with some distress, sighed and said: "But we used all kinds of methods, and even sent the telegram to the British experts could not decipher it!" ”

"You need to hurry, Major!" "You know, if you can't decipher this pile, then I'm going to have to send planes or warships to reconnoitre, which means we're going to lose a lot of soldiers' lives, and maybe even the battle," Halsey said. ”

"Yes, General!" Jim replied.

"Can I take a look?" When Jim said this, Zhang Chi became curious.

"Of course!" Jim smiled and casually handed the telegram in his hand to Zhang Chi: "The message that cannot be deciphered is actually a piece of waste paper, and it is a secret in itself, so we don't need to keep it secret!" ”

Zhang Chi took a look, and there were some Japanese letters densely written on it.

Because he knew some Japanese, Zhang Chi tried to read a paragraph, but it didn't make any sense.

"You know Japanese?" Jim was a little surprised.

"Just a few!" Zhang Chi replied: "But it's not very familiar!" ”

"Hmm!" Jim smiled, raised his head towards the door, and said, "Most of us know Japanese, and a few of us can be said to be Japanese experts, but ...... We still can't do it! ”

Zhang Chi flipped through it casually, took other messages and checked them, and then took a few more to compare carefully......

"Did you find anything?" Halsey asked.

"It can't be!" Jim handed Halsey a cigarette and said with a smile on his face, "You know, the colonel is only a few minutes, and he doesn't even know much about Japanese......

"Maybe you don't need to know Japanese at all!" Zhang Chi interrupted Jim.

"What?" Hearing this, Jim couldn't help but be stunned.

"I don't know if you have noticed ......" Zhang Chi casually handed a telegram to Jim: "The Japanese on these messages always repeat those ten letters, why are there ten letters and nothing else?" ”

"What do you mean...... They don't have a Japanese word, but they have another meaning? ”

"Yes!" Zhang Chi replied: "I think you deciphered in the wrong direction from the beginning, these ten letters are likely to represent the numbers one to ten, and then combine the numbers." It means a different thing! ”

Jim took a few messages and flipped through them, his eyes lit up quickly.

"Colonel, maybe you're right! Oh, my God...... Sorry, I have to go to work! As he spoke, he grabbed the stack of papers and walked out of the office in a hurry.

"I knew ......" Halsey picked up the coffee on the table and shook it at Zhang Chi, "It's right to bring you." As Major Jim said, you've only been here for a few minutes. If you can successfully decipher the code, then I might have to consider ......"

With that, Halsey looked out the door, lowered his voice and said, "I have to think about whether to fire them!" ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help laughing, of course he knew that what Halsey said was a joke, and even if Zhang Chi could hit it right now, it was just luck.

It's luck, though. It's really not all luck...... Because Zhang Chi would think of this, because the Japanese did use such a code in history, that is, the coding method of replacing ten numbers with ten letters, and then using a combination of numbers to express the content, but this coding method was used on the Chinese battlefield and was finally deciphered by the intelligence department in Chongqing.

All Major Jim and his men had to do was to convert the letters into numbers according to the loose decipherment idea, and then combine the intercepted telegrams with the actual situation of the battle, such as the "Operation I" plan a few days ago, and then melt these telegrams little by little like melting ice.

Major Jim and his men were quick to move. Just over half an hour later, Jim excitedly reported to the office: "General, the colonel is right, we have successfully deciphered these messages!" ”

"Great!" Halsey clenched his fist: "I knew it...... These Japanese will never escape our grasp! ”

When Halsey and Zhang Chi walked up to Major Jim, Jim looked up and said, "Wait a minute. We are deciphering yesterday's message! ”

"Uh......" an officer replied, "I'm done, I can't believe it!" ”

"What?" Jim asked, "Is it important information?" ”

"Of course!" The officer then handed over the deciphered message.

I saw that it read:

The schedule for the GF Commissioner's visit to Balier, Shortland and Bouin on April 18 is as follows:

At 6 o'clock, take the flight from Rabaul;

Arrive at Balair at 9:45 a.m. Change to a submarine and head to Shortland Island, arriving at 11:30......

"Oh my God!" Halsey couldn't help but exclaim, "This is a schedule of inspections!" Who is this GF? ”

"It's Yamamoto fifty-six, sir!" Jim replied.

Jim's words made Halsey's mouth open wide and he couldn't close it for a long time. Then he laughed: "It's Yamamoto fifty-six, it's Yamamoto fifty-six...... Dog mongrel, I've got you! ”

It's no wonder that Halsey is happy to be like this.

You must know that the Yankees can be said to hate Yamamoto Fifty-six to the core...... Because it was Isoroku Yamamoto who successfully organized the Pearl Harbor incident, this battle almost annihilated the US Pacific Fleet; It was also Isoroku Yamamoto who organized the Battle of Midway, which made the U.S. military really nervous for a long time; It was Yamamoto Isoroku who personally sat in Rabaul and organized various actions of the Japanese army in the Solomon Islands.

Although Yamamoto Isoroku lost more than he won in the battles except Pearl Harbor, just like some Japanese officers commented on Yamamoto Isoroku that most of the battles with him were lost. Even some of Yamamoto's plans can be said to be extremely stupid, such as the "I-Operation" plan not long ago.

But in the eyes of the U.S. military, Yamamoto Isoroku is both a crazy "gambler" and a genius commander. More importantly, Yamamoto was also very familiar with the US military, which put a lot of pressure on the US commanders. So when the name of Yamamoto Fifty-six was mentioned, the American soldiers hated and feared him.

Now, Yamamoto Isoroku actually wants to personally inspect the Japanese army, and the route he has passed is only more than 500 kilometers away from Kuah Island, which is an excellent opportunity to kill Yamamoto Isoroku.

Halsey felt that he could not call the shots, so he immediately sent a telegram to Washington asking what the United States should do.

But at the same time, the belligerent and excited Halsey began to formulate a battle plan to intercept and kill Yamamoto Isoroku. (To be continued.) )
