Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 166
Morio Uemura walked out of the train station with five people.After not taking a few steps, the few people except Qian Xiaobao quickly adjusted to a unified pace, only Qian Xiaobao was dragging behind.

What fighting power does a soldier have if he can't even walk well?

And looking at the backpacks worn by the five people, only Qian Xiaobao's was so baggy that it didn't look like it.

Except for a few people at the train station, they saw a military truck parked there.

Uemura Morio is the captain with the highest rank and naturally sits in the cab.Yaguchi Kenzo and the others climbed into the covered carriage at the back.

The truck started heading northeast.

Yaguchi Kenzo took out a silk map from his jacket pocket and laid it out in front of his eyes while gesturing with his fingers.

Silk maps are waterproof and not easily broken.

Qian Xiaobao couldn't understand the map, but because he was so familiar with this place, he knew that the place he was going to should be Chaihe from the direction the truck was driving.

Sure enough, the car arrived at Chaihe two hours later and headed north without stopping.

The road from Hailin to Chaihe is already difficult.It is even more difficult to go north from Chaihe.The car was bumping on the snow-covered mountain road.Sometimes I rushed down the mountain road and walked on the frozen river.Instead, the speed of the car picked up at this time.

Yaguchi Kenzo pointed to the map and said, "This should be Mudanjiang."

From here, Mudanjiang meanders southward and finally flows into the Songhua River.

Qian Xiaobao sat on the luggage and closed his eyes.It was obvious that the car was going into the mountains, and this time the training must have suffered.

No one has eaten anything since last night.Qian Xiaobao was already hungry.There is also a small packet of fried soybeans hidden in his luggage, but he will not take it out at this time.

Yaguchi Kenzo and the others must be hungry too.But each of them pretended to be nonchalant.

The car was driving in the mountains all the way to the north and only passed a small village called Toudaogouzi, and the rest of the time it was driving in the open mountains.

Qian Xiaobao really admired the Japanese in his heart.Even Toudaogouzi, a small village with only a few families, can be found on Yaguchi Kenzo’s map.

Until the sun was about to set, the car finally arrived at its destination.

Morio Uemura got out of the car and walked to the back of the car and said to several people in the car: "Get out of the car, the destination has arrived. This is the Hengdaohezi Forest Police Training Center.

Qian Xiaobao was the first to jump out of the car and run into the woods without taking his luggage.

If you don't put water in, the urine blower will explode.

Coming out of several wooden houses in the woods, they were greeted by several Russians in Japanese military uniforms.

When the Russians built the Middle East Railway, there were Russian troops stationed near Hailin.Even after the Russian Revolution, there were still a large number of Russians living near Hailin, especially in the Hengdaohezi area.

The Japanese organized the young and middle-aged Russians into the forest police force.And here is the training center of the forest police force.The lumberjacks and hunters who passed by here called it Maozi Camp.

Antonov, who wears the rank of lieutenant, assists officers sent by the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army to organize dozens of young people to train here all year round.

"Everything is ready. Sir." Antonov said to Uemura Morio.

For this training arranged by the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army, Antonov vacated a woodcut hall for the newcomers to live in.

Yaguchi Kensan, Qian Xiaobao and other five people were brought into the woodcut hall.The house is almost entirely made of individual logs. There is a hearth in the outer room, and nothing in the inner room except a kang.

A Russian policeman came in with an iron bucket of beetroot soup.The other came in with some black bread and put it on the kang.

All five of them took out the [-]-style lunch box, put the soup in the lunch box, picked up the black bread and devoured it.

I was really hungry, half a bucket of red cabbage soup and those few black breads were not enough to eat.

Looking at the empty soup bucket and the black bread that had disappeared, the four people including Yaguchi Kenzo looked at Qian Xiaobao who was still devouring it with malicious eyes.

This kid is too cunning.I first filled myself with half a lunch box of soup, and then filled myself with a full lunch box after drinking it quickly!

The same goes for bread.Qian Xiaobao first broke a piece of bread in half, and ate half of the bread himself.Then I hugged the whole bread in my arms and ate it slowly!

"Heat the kang after eating!" Yaguchi Kenzo ordered.

Uemura Morio is the officer in charge here, so he eats alone and eats better.

When he finished his dinner and walked into Mukeleng for inspection, Qian Xiaobao was stuffing large pieces of firewood into the stove.

The blazing flame crackled the firewood.

Seeing Morio Uemura coming, everyone stopped their movements and stood at attention.

"Starting tomorrow, everyone will follow the forest police for primary training!" Morio Uemura said.

After graduating from the Non-commissioned Officer School, the four other than Qian Xiaobao entered the Nakano School to receive rigorous training.But there is Japan after all, and the environment and climate here are completely different.Moreover, these four people have never been tested in actual combat.

"We didn't bring any guns. When will the guns be fired?" Yaguchi asked.

"Shoot the gun tomorrow morning and start training at the same time!" Morio Uemura replied.

It wasn't until Yaguchi Kenzo ordered Qian Xiaobao not to burn the kang again, that Qian Xiaobao reluctantly stuffed the last few pieces of wood into the stove and went into the back room.

Yaguchi Kenzo and the other four had already packed their luggage at this time.

Sleeping positions are arranged entirely according to military rank.Yaguchi Kensan has the highest military rank so whoever sleeps at the top of the kang, and Qian Xiaobao who has the lowest military rank naturally sleeps at the end of the kang.

"Sleep!" After saying this, Yaguchi Kenzo blew out the candles, completely ignoring Qian Xiaobao who was still standing on the ground without taking off his clothes.

Qian Xiaobao unwrapped the luggage in the dark and packed it indifferently.Then undress and go to sleep on the kang.

But Kenzo Yaguchi couldn't take it anymore before lying down for an hour.He lifted the quilt and sat up sweating profusely.

It won't take long for him to be roasted tomorrow morning.

In fact, none of them fell asleep.Everyone was sweating profusely and couldn't sleep because of the heat.

"Qian Xiaobao, come and sleep here!" Yaguchi Kenzo ordered.

Then he lit a candle and switched places with Qian Xiaobao.

Although it was still hot, Yaguchi Kenzo felt much better than the feeling of getting into the oven just now.

Qian Xiaobao endured the anger in his heart to re-lay the quilt, and then he lay down on the quilt in his underwear and fell asleep.

The flue and the chimney of the earth kang in the stove are connected.After a few hours the heat slowly escapes from the chimney.

After Qian Xiaobao woke up from the cold, he hurriedly got into bed and went to sleep.An hour later, Yaguchi Kenzo woke up from the rapidly dropping temperature in the room amid the howling mountain wind coming in from outside.

Damn Manchukuo!The temperature outside may be below minus forty degrees now, right?
Just when Yaguchi Kenzo was so cold that he couldn't fall asleep and was about to wake up Qian Xiaobao to change his position again, there was a sudden gunshot in the howling cold wind!
