Chapter 32 Let's send a telegram as a group!
Beep beep beep! ...
Yan Shuo went to a hotel in the French Concession, booked a room on the 6th floor, arranged for several emotionless dolls with earpieces to be placed in the corridors and streets, and then took out 10 telegraph machines and distributed them to 10 dolls that could send and receive telegrams. He first sent a telegram to Dai Li in Chongqing to report the situation.
"Commander, Teacher, Hongdou reports! At 2:00 AM, I led 30 men to attack the Special Agent Headquarters in Xiban Village. Due to proper planning, we quickly stormed the temporary residence of Colonel Matsui Ichiro, the head of the Intelligence Department of the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Army, killed Matsui Ichiro, and obtained crucial intelligence from the safe. Disguised as seriously wounded soldiers, we successfully smuggled out the intelligence documents using a Japanese medical vehicle. Our unit suffered 25 casualties among our newly recruited action team members. We are now preparing to report the intelligence. Because the document is quite long, I request that you prepare 10 radios to receive it. My 10 newly trained men are ready to transmit. You are ready, Teacher. Please reply and request compensation for the fallen and commendation for meritorious service! Attached are the names of the fallen... and the names of the survivors...! Over."
After waiting for about half an hour, Yan Shuo received a call saying he could begin.
"Send the message!" Yan Shuo organized the message to be sent and handed it to them to start sending the message.

There were about 50 military and government officials of all ranks, basically involving multiple departments and provinces. Fearing excessive current, Yan Shuo simply took out a battery pack and used it for the transmitter, without connecting it to the hotel's power supply, otherwise it would have definitely tripped the circuit breaker.
In the headquarters building of the Military Intelligence Bureau in Chongqing, in the telegraph receiving room in the backyard, ten radios were neatly arranged, and indicator lights flashed alternately in the room, emitting a crisp "beep-beep-beep" sound.
This was a top-level receiving team specially formed by the Military Intelligence Bureau to receive urgent coded telegrams. Ten experienced radio operators wore headphones with their fingers hovering next to the telegraph key, ready to record messages from the front lines at any time.
"Team leader, there's a signal! It's the 'Red Bean' encrypted frequency!" a young radio operator suddenly shouted in a low voice, his excitement barely concealed.
"Red Bean" is Yan Shuo's exclusive code name. Since he went undercover behind enemy lines to carry out special missions, every time he sent a telegram, it meant a major situation.
The receiving team leader, Lao Zhou, immediately stepped forward, personally adjusted the frequency band, and confirmed the signal source: "That's right, it's the frequency of Red Bean! Everyone on alert, record it word for word!"
In an instant, only the sound of radio waves transmitting and the scratching of pens on paper remained in the computer room.
Ten radio stations simultaneously received different segments of coded messages. The telegraph operators dared not slack off in the slightest, keeping their eyes fixed on the flashing indicator lights, and accurately converting the varying lengths of Morse code into text.
Yan Shuo's side adopted a segmented encrypted transmission mode, with ten transmitters operating simultaneously. This ensured efficiency and reduced the risk of being intercepted by the Japanese army. However, it also required the receiving group to receive and record synchronously without any errors.
About an hour later, the last radio wave ended, and the ten radio operators simultaneously put down their pens and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Old Zhou immediately collected the ten record sheets, carefully checked the page numbers and serial numbers, and after confirming that they were correct, sealed them in a special sealed bag and quickly walked to the decoding group next door.
