Chapter 39 Mysterious Signal

Late at night, Professor Zhang, Liu Zifeng and Xiangyun gathered in the darkroom on the second floor of the "Beautiful" photo studio to study intelligence on the enemy.

"Let me introduce you first," Professor Zhang pointed to them and introduced them respectively: This is Comrade Liu Zifeng from the Xiamen Provisional Working Committee, and this is Comrade Xiangyun, a member of the Xiamen underground party.

Liu Zifeng and Xiangyun shook hands tightly.

Professor Zhang asked Liu Zifeng: How long will it take until the "Haifeng" telegram is received?

Liu Zifeng looked at his watch: It is now 11:20, and there are still 10 minutes left.

Professor Zhang said: Use this little time to ask Comrade Xiangyun to report a suspicious situation.

Xiangyun rationalized his thoughts and said: "These days we have been monitoring the radio stations of the Japanese Consulate and the puppet Xiamen Municipal Government. According to the "Southeast" intelligence, Uchida is a senior Japanese spy lurking in Xiamen, codenamed "Canglang", and is associated with

The Japanese East Asia Co-Prosperity Association's South China Intelligence Minister Sawa Shigenobu has close ties, so I focused my monitoring on the Japanese Consulate General. The important information from the consulate was transmitted through Radio 3, directly to Consul General Uchida. During the monitoring of the other party's Radio 3,

I discovered a strange phenomenon. The three telegrams from this station transmitted the same content, and they were all sent late at night and early in the morning.

While listening, Liu Zifeng quickly wrote down notes in his notebook, marking important points and doubts from time to time.

After Xiangyun finished speaking, Liu Zifeng kept asking: "Are you sure that this person sent the same telegram three times?"

"Although the messages have not been deciphered, I am sure they are all the same message." Xiangyun said and handed over the message.

"The three telegrams sent by the other party all used the 17.8mc frequency?" Liu Zifeng asked again.

"Yes!" Xiangyun answered with affirmative evidence.

"It's strange, this frequency is rarely used?" Liu Zifeng pondered for a moment and then asked: "Is the operator No. 3 male or female?"

"As far as I know, it's a woman!" Xiangyun said.

Liu Zifeng asked again: "When will the three reports be sent?"

"Once in the morning and twice in the early morning at night." Xiangyun replied.

Liu Zifeng thought: "It seems that the time this person sent the message was deliberately chosen, and the frequency was also carefully selected. The short-wave message is suitable for long-distance calls and listening. The sound of the radio waves is especially clear in the early morning and night. The content of the telegram may not be much.

In essence, the other party is trying to attract our attention."

Professor Zhang nodded: "I agree with Zifeng's analysis."

Liu Zifeng asked: "Is there anything special about the other party's fingering?"

"The fingering is smooth and regular. It looks like a trained operator, not like an amateur. But the time between reporting is too fast and seems a bit nervous." Xiangyun answered fluently.

Liu Zifeng asked again: "What's the severity of the buttons?"

Xiangyun thought for a while: "The fingering is too heavy, it feels like the person sending the report is a man."

Liu Zifeng picked up the telegram and read it again. The telegram was very short and contained some lifeless Arabic numerals. He stared at the message of the telegram and fell into deep thought.

Xiangyun explained: "After I received the message, I tried to decipher it. I tried almost all the methods that may have been tried. The first was to apply known passwords and combine the old and new information about enemies, ourselves, and friends that I had on hand in recent years.

I have tried all the codes, including the Kuomintang code that was deciphered during the Red Army period, but still cannot open this lock."

Xiangyun had said this, and suddenly, like a magic trick, he took out a small exquisite notebook from his underwear pocket and said: I almost forgot about this when I came to report on it just now. This is a code book for the Japanese and puppet troops. I got it from the puppet city government.

Yes, I give it to you. I think it will be helpful for you to decipher Japanese and pseudo-codes in the future.

Liu Zifeng took the code book and looked very excited. He immediately flipped through it and said gratefully: "A priceless treasure, a timely help!"

Professor Zhang looked at his watch and said: Be prepared to receive the telegram immediately.

Xiangyun turned on the radio, put on his headphones, and turned the FM knob to switch on the "Sea Breeze" frequency.

There was a chaotic sound coming from the radio station. After a while, the sound of the radio station became regular.

Xiangyun turned his head and said, "It's connected."

In less than 10 seconds, "Haifeng" sent a telegram. Xiangyun copied it down quickly. The two people next to him held their breath and did not dare to breathe.

Soon, Xiangyun finished copying the last set of telegrams, translated them and gave them to Professor Zhang.

Professor Zhang picked up the telegram and said, "'Haifeng' said that a Japanese-puppet 'tourist' cruise ship will depart from Taiwan in the near future, pass through the Taiwan Strait, and arrive in Xiamen in three days."

Liu Zifeng said: "This is very important information. We must find ways to stop them."

Professor Zhang continued: "'Haifeng' also said that there is a member of the Japanese Anti-War League in the Japanese institution in Xiamen, and asked us to find a way to contact him as soon as possible."

Liu Zifeng thought about it and said: If his guess is correct, the person who sent the message on Radio 3 may be the Japanese Anti-War League number that "Haifeng" asked us to find.

"It would be great if that were the case." Professor Zhang paused and said, "Continue to monitor Radio No. 3 closely."

Xiangyun nodded and said: If there is nothing else, I will go back!

Professor Zhang: "Okay, please take care of yourself!"
