Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 194 Steel Rain III
In order not to be discovered, Qian Xiaobao crawled like a snail in the muddy water from midnight until eight or nine in the morning before arriving near Shacao Peak.

According to Ono Dakuan, this is already the territory of the Kwantung Army.So it was safe for Qian Xiaobao to come back here.

But Qian Xiaobao, who was always cautious, didn't get up.The field of vision in this place is expanded, even if it is hundreds of meters away, it can kill one with one shot.

36 After all the prayers are done, there is no need to miss the last shiver.Qian Xiaobao decided to climb a little longer, because his own life was more important than anything else.

There was the sound of rushing water in the distance.A dozen or so Soviet soldiers dragged a large plank like a sledge towards Shacao Peak.

On the wooden boards were several rifles and a machine gun, as well as tools for digging field fortifications.

Qian Xiaobao picked up the rifle and then put it down again.

It was not difficult for him to deal with the Soviet soldiers in this class by being caught off guard.But he felt that there was no need to do this for the Japanese.

A dozen or so Soviet soldiers dragged the plank to the foot of the mountain and climbed up the Shacao Peak with weapons and tools.

Ono Dakuan listened to Qian Xiaobao's report with a gloomy expression.

Originally, the dispute between the Japanese and the Soviet Union was in Zhanggufeng and Lake Hassan.Unexpectedly, the Soviet army actually sent troops to occupy the Shacao Peak, which was not in dispute.

"What else did you see?" Ono asked.

"The observation site that the officer arranged for me was Ma'anshan. But there is already an artillery unit stationed there, and there is an observation post on the mountain. I can't go up the mountain at all." Qian Xiaobao replied.

This is an important piece of information.

Ono Dakuan hurriedly put the map on the table and drew on the location of Ma'anshan.

"According to your observation, how many cannons are there?" Ono Tahiro asked.

"More than 50 doors!" Qian Xiaobao replied without hesitation.

If so it is the size of an artillery regiment.

Ono Dakuan hurriedly took out a stack of photos from his briefcase for Qian Xiaobao to identify.

Qian Xiaobao flipped through a few photos and pointed to a photo and said, "It's this kind of cannon!"

Ono Hiroshi saw that the picture above was the Soviet 120mm howitzer.

The soil in this area is soft, and the heavy cannon can't move at all.

"You did a great job!" Ono Tahiro said in admiration.

"Also, more than 70 military vehicles drove past from midnight of the first day to midnight of the second day. There were more than [-] cannons towed!" Qian Xiaobao said in an extremely sure tone.

"However, this road has been crushed by military vehicles, and I think the transportation speed will become slower and slower in the future." Qian Xiaobao added.

Qian Xiaobao's observation was completely consistent with the judgment of the Kwantung Army.In this case, the Soviet army mainly relied on transport ships to supply supplies from Vladivostok.

"It's hard work, go back and rest." Ono Takuan said to Qian Xiaobao.

Qian Xiaobao put a pack of cigarettes into his pocket, and threw two vitamin pills into his mouth.Both of these things were rations issued to him.

Then he picked up the lunch box and ate rice, a sardine and a small bowl of miso soup.

The man in his 30s walked towards him with a smile.

"It's delicious. I think this fish is bigger than the one I ate," said the man.

"This is the army! I am a sergeant, and you are a private. How did you talk to me just now? There are no rules at all!" Qian Xiaobao said sharply.

If both are Japanese.When the upper class soldier talks to the sergeant, it is true that he must behave well.

Among the more than 20 people brought by Ono Dakuan, five were from Manchuria.Among them, the one who counted Qian Xiaobao was young but had the highest military rank.

"Yes, Sergeant Xiaobao!" The man stood at attention and said.

Then the man whispered again: "I just think you look like someone I've met before. So I speak more casually."

"Really? I used to fish in the Wusuli River. People call it the Little White Dragon of the Wusuli River! There is no one in the Rao River area who doesn't know me! Have you been to the Rao River?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

The man shook his head and said, "It seems that I have identified the wrong person."

After saying this, he turned and left.

After Qian Xiaobao finished his report and left, Ono took a look at his watch - eleven o'clock.Calculated according to the time described by Qian Xiaobao, the Soviet soldiers occupied Shacao Peak at about [-]:[-].

In his notebook, he wrote down the words 29:[-] on July [-]th.

Then Ono Tahiro immediately called Sato Kotoku, the captain of the No. 70 Fifth Regiment, to report the matter.

Kotoku Sato immediately reported to Otaka Kamezo, head of the No.19 Division.After receiving an affirmative reply from Odaka Kamezo, Sato Kotoku ordered the captain of the defense, Chida Sadaki, to send two teams to expel the Soviet soldiers on Shacao Peak by force.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Sadaki Chida reported to Kotoku Sato that the Soviet soldiers had been driven away from Sha Cao Peak.

In the evening, eighty Soviet soldiers recaptured Shacao Peak.

Otaka Kamezo is known as Shogun Yuzu.This time, he knew that the number of troops was not as good as that of the opponent, and the weapon equipment was not as good as that of the opponent. With the Soviet army still having a large number of aircraft and tanks, he still planned to fight hard.

On the night of July 31, a brigade of Japanese troops attacked Zhang Gufeng. At dawn on the [-]st, a Japanese brigade attacked Shacao Peak.

Since Qian Xiaobao had just returned from an important task, Ono Dakuan granted him a day off.

But Qian Xiaobao couldn't fall asleep all night.The explosion sounded on the east side of Fangchuan all night.Because the distance was too close, Qian Xiaobao felt the ground tremble all night.

He walked out of the house and looked to the east, and there was fire in the direction of Zhanggu Peak and Shacao Peak.

Sato Kotoku was also restless in the command post.According to intelligence, the Soviet army had seven battalions, 36 cannons and eleven tanks.The number and firepower are much stronger than a brigade of the Japanese army.

There was thunder again in the explosion.It started raining heavily again.

At four o'clock in the morning, Sato Kotoku finally received a call from the front of the position: "Sir, we have already attacked. Hand-to-hand combat is now in progress!"

Hearing the excited voice on the phone, Sato Kotoku knew that he had finally captured the target.

But the cannons of the Soviet army kept roaring all day long.The Japanese soldiers could only squat in the trenches in the heavy rain and were bombed indiscriminately by the Soviet army.

At noon, the heavy rain finally stopped.But the nightmare of the Japanese army did not stop.The Soviet planes hovered over Zhanggu Peak and Shacao Peak one by one and dropped bombs one after another.

In the afternoon, Qian Xiaobao was recruited to Ono Dakuan's temporary command post to wait for reassignment of tasks.

Qian Xiaobao casually glanced at the people in the room.Then I counted again, not sure.There were actually five fewer people in the room than when they came!
Just lost five in one night!
