Review
In the 1930s and 1940s, the whole country was shrouded in darkness.
From the beginning of the September 18 Incident, the Japanese army exposed their ambitions and ill intentions. The people of northeast China were harassed and miserable by the Japanese army, and a series of anti-Japanese activities were also launched in the local area. It was not until after the July 7 Incident that China finally formed a situation in which the whole nation resisted Japan.
The war is continuous, the two sides are fighting wits and courage in various battlefields, and the situation on the battlefield may be reversed every minute and every second.
At this time, communication is particularly important, not only to grasp the overall situation of the battlefield, other battlefields and teammates, but also to invite reinforcements at the first time, so that the troops in adversity can get a turnaround.
It is precisely because our side did not check the communication problem that our side suffered a loss, and finally exchanged blood for a lesson.
Means of communication
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there was no Internet, let alone mobile phones and big brothers, and there were only a few ways to convey messages.
Internal communication in the troops relies entirely on two legs and one mouth, but on the one hand, this method is prone to the loss of information, and if there are more people in the middle, they will directly spread the information more and more outrageously because of the understanding deviation. Therefore, the form of oral communication is only suitable for small-scale transmission.
The distance of communication is a little farther, and the letter is a very important way of communication, on the one hand, this can ensure the accuracy of the information, and the scope of communication can also be very wide.
However, its disadvantages are also obvious, because the transmission time is too long, it is easy to lead to untimely transmission. Every minute and every second on the battlefield is important, and it is possible that a second too late in the news will cause huge losses, so for very urgent news, the way of writing is very weak.
But if there is no better way to communicate in the local area, it is still only by letter, but they will use chicken feathers as a symbol of urgent letters, and correspondents will also give priority to sending letters with chicken feathers, which is the origin of chicken feather letters.
However, there is no guarantee that the correspondent will not be in danger during the transmission, so this method is sometimes not very appropriate.
At that time, the most advanced means of communication, non-wireless telegraph, but also due to the scarcity of materials, this way is not available in all places, generally only high-level or relatively rich places have use.
This way is fast and accurate, and it is also the safest way, basically as long as it is a campaign-level position, it will be equipped with one.
Of course, the telegram sent will also be intercepted and deciphered by the enemy, at this time it belongs to the game of intelligence between the two sides, and the password and decoding method used by one party can not be cracked by the other party.
In addition, there were telephones during the War of Resistance, but this required larger battles to be used.
The above methods are used in the case of leaving the battlefield, so when on the battlefield, everyone is spying on the enemy's movements, where there is time to send and receive messages. So when you want to send some simple messages, you will use signal flares and wolf smoke.
Japanese carrier pigeon
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Japan's military resources were more abundant, and they mainly used telegrams and telephones to disseminate information.
The Lugou Bridge Incident, the Japanese army occupied the Pingsui Railway. Not to be outdone, we have resorted to "cutting wires" in order to hinder their actions and disrupt their means of communication.
The Japanese suffered a headache for a long time, and later they found another way to communicate, carrier pigeons.
Carrier pigeon transmission is not a new way, China began to use it as early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Japan was at that time, sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty to learn this way. After they returned to Japan, they began to study breeding and use methods, and it was not until the Sengoku period in Japan that carrier pigeons began to be truly put into use on the battlefield.
With the popularity of carrier pigeons, the people can also raise one, but the carrier pigeons are all rich and large families. In this way, they secretly transmit some commodity price news, and then facilitate them to raise prices according to the market, so as to achieve the effect of monopolizing wealth.
During the Meiji Emperor's reign, the army searched for and studied the top carrier pigeon breeds to cultivate the army's exclusive carrier pigeons.
In 1894, the Japanese army established the first systematic loft, and since then military pigeons have become the standard in the army. In the later Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army also used a large number of carrier pigeons to transmit intelligence, taking advantage of this advantage and dealing a heavy blow to the Qing government.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, because of the grand scale of the campaign, the military pigeons began to be insufficient, and the Japanese people donated all the carrier pigeons they raised to the country, and the carrier pigeons became a major "accomplice" in the war of aggression against China.
Experience teaches
At the beginning of the war, our side underestimated the importance of military pigeons, repeatedly suffered losses at the hands of the Japanese army, and paid a heavy price, and finally realized the threat of military pigeons.
So we specially formed a pigeon exterminator team and eliminated many carrier pigeons from the enemy. The warriors were also ordered to attack one step ahead of the enemy when they found carrier pigeons, otherwise they might be punished by their superiors.
The Japanese army saw a sharp decline in the number of carrier pigeons, and directly established a carrier pigeon breeding base in China, breeding carrier pigeons in large quantities.
The nearby people learned that they were actively using earthen methods to catch them, but the carrier pigeons were trained to be very clever, and the common people did not play much role. Later, Hua Ronglong, who was still a pigeon removal brigade, thought of using poisoning to pollute the water source used by carrier pigeons, and directly eliminated most of the carrier pigeons.
brief summary
After the end of the War of Resistance, the people invaded the pigeon breeding base, and they carried the carrier pigeons left by the Japanese army back home in sacks.
That night, the same food, pigeons, appeared on the tables of almost all the homes in the city.
