Invincible from the sword

Chapter 499 What will it be?

Inside the Pacific Fleet Headquarters, Zhang Lei was telling Nimitz.

The Japanese army on Guadalcanal cannot be taken lightly.

As the head of the intelligence department, Hunter is a lieutenant colonel, but he has authority.

You can go directly to Nimitz.

Hunter roughly reported to Nimitz about the activation of the latest password by the Japanese army.

Zhang Lei was taken aback.

The Japanese army is changing the password now?

This is a bit abnormal.

Under normal circumstances, the passwords of the Japanese army are changed about every six months.

Now it has only been one month since the Japanese army changed the password last time, and it is unreasonable to change the password again.

It must be the Japanese army, what happened.

What could it be?

After the Japanese failed in the naval battle of Guadalcanal, the entire combined Japanese fleet withdrew.

In a short time, there shouldn't be any big moves.

The current Japanese combined fleet adopts a defensive posture across the board.

Zhang Lei estimated that the next step of the Japanese army's plan is to strictly defend the islands in the Pacific Ocean that have already been occupied.
In order to ensure defense, the base camp of the island country will deploy a large number of troops to enter the Pacific battlefield.

Now, the focus of the Japanese defense is Rabaul Island.

This island is an important base of the Japanese combined fleet.

As long as this island is in hand, the combined fleet of the Japanese army can carry out various supplies in the South Pacific.

At the same time, it can also ensure the security of the eastern part of the East Indies.

Zhang Lei thought about the whole situation.

Is the Japanese army planning to do something big on Rabaul Island?

Probably.

Zhang Lei asked Hunter: "Is there much information about the Japanese army's Rabaul Island recently?"

Rabaul Island...

Hunter chewed on the island's name.

There seems to be quite a lot of telegrams exchanged by the Japanese army about this island recently.

But Hunter himself was at a loss as to what it was about.

The content of the entire telegram exchange is very complicated.

Even whether there are flush toilets on Rabaul Island is indicated on the telegram.

But nothing of value.

There is also a part, because there is no deciphering, so Hunter does not know what the content of the telegram is.

However, according to Lieutenant Colonel Hunter's guess, the content of the undeciphered telegram should also be about the basic situation of Rabaul Island.

Ok?
Zhang Lei's eyes lit up.

What is there to know about Rabaul Island?
Why let the Japanese army be so serious?

Although the location of this island is very important, the focus of the Japanese army should be the defense of the island.

But now the Japanese army does not ask about the defense situation, but instead asks these boring questions.

What is the meaning?

Could it be that some Japanese military figure is coming?

Zhang Lei couldn't help but think evilly, maybe Yamamoto 56, a big bald head, is going to Rabaul Island, right?
This idea just flashed in Zhang Lei's head.

He didn't care either.

Normally, this kind of situation is impossible to happen.

Yamamoto 56 is the supreme commander of the Japanese combined fleet.

Status respected.

For the navy of the island country, that is a treasure.

They will never let Yamamoto go to the front.

Just like the lighthouse country would not agree with Nimitz to go to the front to command troops.

Characters of this level have an important impact on the morale of the entire army and the direction of the war.

Therefore, the possibility of Yamamoto going to Rabaul Island is basically impossible.

Zhang Lei was about to deny this idea, and then froze for a moment.

What if Yamamoto is really going to Rabaul Island?

It's really hard to say.

The thinking of islanders is completely different from that of normal people.

What if Yamamoto really wants to go?
Zhang Lei thought about this possibility again.

The more I think about it, the more likely it is.

Even if it wasn't Yamamoto who went to Rabaul Island, it would definitely be the senior commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet.

Chuichi Nagumo is also a possibility.

In the Japanese army, the hierarchy is very strict.

Especially the Japanese navy, there are some strict distinctions.

This time the Japanese army asked so clearly about the situation on Rabaul Island, it is definitely related to the senior commander of the Japanese army.

Zhang Lei said to Lieutenant Colonel Hunter: "Lieutenant Colonel Hunter, tell me, is it possible that the senior commander of the Japanese navy is going to inspect Rabaul Island.

So the Japanese army is so concerned about the situation on Rabaul Island? "

As soon as Zhang Lei's words came out, Lieutenant Colonel Hunter's brain exploded.

The heart twitched violently a few times.

A look of shock.

This guess...

Makes sense.

Lieutenant Colonel Hunter's mind was thinking quickly.

His face was red because he was so focused.

Nimitz also opened his mouth wide in shock.

"Head Zhang, are you serious?"

There are only a few senior commanders of the Japanese navy.

If you want to go to Rabaul Island, you have to kill everything.

Lieutenant Colonel Hunter went through all the information at hand.

Suddenly trembling with excitement.

He found that what Zhang Lei said seemed to make sense.

His intelligence department had received a lot of this kind of information before.

But he didn't take it to heart.

Thinking about it now, it seems that as long as there is a war, the Japanese army's intelligence will show up such things that seem to be intelligence garbage.

According to Zhang Lei's guess, before the war, it was the commander of the Japanese army who was inspecting his troops.

Falk! ! !

Such important information, I actually failed to analyze it! ! !
Hunter, who wanted to understand, wished he could slap himself twice.

His tone trembled: "Commander Zhang, I must go back immediately.

Please give me a day, and I will be able to analyze who the Japanese commander is. "

As for Nimitz, Hunter simply ignored it.

In the eyes of Lieutenant Colonel Hunter, Nimitz is a simple commander, and his intelligence processing ability is zero.

He didn't bother to explain to Nimitz.

He drove straight to his intelligence office in a jeep.

Call all the intelligence personnel together.

From now on, let go of everything and analyze all the information on Rabaul Island with all your strength!
Under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Hunter, his men quickly collected all the information about Rabaul Island.

Hunter was shocked to find that there was actually a lot of information about Rabaul Island.

The paper added up to more than two meters.

Fake!

Hunter hummed excitedly.

He didn't need to read the information at all.

It can be judged only from the quantity that the Japanese army absolutely attaches great importance to Rabaul Island.

Combined with Zhang Lei's guess, Lieutenant Colonel Hunter believes that it is very likely that Yamamoto, the commander of the Japanese combined fleet, went to inspect Rabaul Island.

Among all the information about Rabaul Island, there is a code name that Hunter attaches great importance to.

SB.

What exactly does this code name mean, Hunter is at a loss.

What he can be sure of is that this SB must be the code name of a certain commander of the Japanese army.

But who it represented, he was a little uncertain for a while.

Is it Yamamoto?
Or Yuhuan?
Or Nagumo Chuichi?

Hunter wasn't sure.

When he told Zhang Lei this code name, Zhang Lei immediately said that this code name refers to Yamamoto 56.

SB.

This is the abbreviation of Yamamoto 56 Pinyin.

"Pinyin?"

It was the first time Hunter had heard the word.

"Head Zhang, what does this pinyin mean?"

Hunter tilted his head and asked.

It's really hard for Zhang Lei to explain this question.

Because now, pinyin has not been invented yet.
