Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 196 Steel Rain Five
There was no more sound from the grass.

Qian Xiaobao felt that he could at least get one shot.

After running out of bullets, Qian Xiaobao hurriedly changed another place.But Xue Shangfei did not shoot at the place where he was originally hiding.

Qian Xiaobao squatted in the grass and waited for a bag of cigarettes, then slowly approached the place where he just shot with his gun in his hand.

The closer he got, the more he could hear heavy breathing.If you want to say in the Northeast, someone is losing their temper.

At this time, Xue Shangfei had already turned his body over with difficulty and lay on his back on the grass.

He was shot twice in the back.A shot passed through the intestines, and a shot passed through the chest.

Looking at Qian Xiaobao who slowly revealed his face, Xue Shangfei said with difficulty: "It's really you!"

He is now having difficulty breathing and speaking.

"Don't tell me I haven't remembered it yet. It's snowing. I heard that I met an old lady in Liumao River and saw her wearing a ring on her finger. To save trouble, you directly chopped off the old lady's finger with a kitchen knife. Yes It's not you!" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"I suspected it was you, but I never thought that you would be so courageous to run into the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army." Xue Shangfei said.

As he spoke, blood continued to flow from the corner of his mouth.

Qian Xiaobao picked up the rifle that Xue Shangfei threw aside and pointed at Xue Shangfei, saying, "Eating bread? I know you are a beast after hearing you say this!"

With a bang, there was a hole in Xue Shangfei's forehead.

When it was almost dawn, the whole Fangchuan was shrouded in thick fog.Soviet planes stopped bombing.

But the rumbling gunfire never stopped.

The Japanese army not only envied the number of cannons of the Soviet army, but also envied the opponent's ability to pour ammunition regardless of cost.

The current attention of the base camp is mainly focused on the battle in Wuhan.There is no way to provide ammunition for the [-]th Division like the Soviet Army.

The people sent out by the intelligence department came back one after another.Three more people did not come back.Two of them are in the direction of Sand Grass Peak.

Last night, the Soviet army concentrated its forces to attack Shacao Peak.So the ones who died were also the intelligence personnel in this direction.Due to the execution of the reconnaissance mission, the death rate was higher than that of the Japanese army standing on Shacao Peak!

The other is flying on snow.There was no fighting at Heights 52 last night, but he disappeared.

All intelligence personnel, including Qian Xiaobao, who were performing missions near Height 52, reported that the Soviet army had shelled in front of Height 52, and everyone heard gunshots.

"Tomorrow night, all personnel in this direction will search the entire region." Ono Takuan ordered.

It doesn't matter if Xue Shangfei died.It would be troublesome if Xue Shangfei defected to the opposite side.

Now Ono Dakuan has some faint concerns about sending a few Manchukuo into the front line.What if these people fled to the Soviet army?
But relatively speaking, Ono Dakuan is the most at ease with Qian Xiaobao among the remaining four people.

If he wanted to run, he would have already run there.Moreover, the information Qian Xiaobao brought back was accurate.There are indeed Soviet artillery units in the direction of Ma'anshan.

If the weather is clear, you can see the transport ships of the Soviet army from Vladivostok in Shepoter Bay on the General Peak behind Fangchuan.

A large number of ammunition and equipment are only a dozen kilometers away from the battlefield from here.

The roads and railways of the Soviet Union are also busy.

Ono Takuan, who was on the front line of Fangchuan, had the most information.He is not optimistic about the follow-up of the war.

Since they had already been deeply involved in the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese army could not concentrate on fighting this battle at all.

However, according to intelligence, the Soviet army has concentrated all its forces.

On the second night, Second Lieutenant Ogasawara of the Intelligence Department, who was searching all out, found the body of Snow Fly who had been shot three times.

Only then did Hiroshi Ono feel relieved.It seems that the scouts of the Soviet army killed Xue Shangfei.

August 52nd. Two battalions of Soviet troops appeared in front of Hill 30.What's more terrible is that more than [-] tanks rushed towards the position.

Qian Xiaobao lay in the grass and stared dumbfounded at the moving steel monster with turrets and machine guns on it!

He has seen Japanese tanks.But the Soviet tank that appeared in front of me was bigger than the Japanese tank, and there were actually two machine guns on it!
The biggest firepower of the Japanese squadron on Heights 52 is two heavy machine guns, which have little effect on tanks.

Qian Xiaobao watched the Japanese army engage in a tug-of-war with the Soviet army using explosive kits.

Qian Xiaobao crawled towards the rear position after counting the number of tanks.He wants to report the number of attacking tanks immediately, and more importantly, this place is really too dangerous!
The soil kicked up by the shell explosion covered Qian Xiaobao's body several times.Once it took Qian Xiaobao a few minutes to crawl out from under the mud.

After crawling out, he lay on the ground panting heavily.If it was slower or the soil was thicker, he would be suffocated in it.

Climb faster!If I die like this, no one will be able to find me even in the past 100 years!
Qian Xiaobao, who seemed to have just crawled out of hell, ran back to Fangchuan and reported to Ono Dakuan: "Sir, there are more than 52 tanks in front of Height 30."

Ono Dakuan looked at Qian Xiaobao helplessly.The entire 37th Division has only [-] cannons, which is no way to compare with the hundreds of cannons of the Soviet army on the opposite side.

It seems that now only the people of the 75th Regiment can use explosive kits to deal with tanks.

"I see, you go and rest." Ono Takuan said helplessly to Qian Xiaobao.

On August 20rd, Ono Takahiro did not send investigators from the Intelligence Department.There are two reasons, one is that the loss is too great.Now, more than half of the more than [-] people he brought have been killed or injured.

The more important reason is that such sacrifices are pointless.Knowing whether the Soviet army participated in the battle with one hundred or two hundred artillery pieces, and whether there were fifty or one hundred tanks was of no use to the Japanese army.

The Japanese army simply did not have enough powerful firepower to deal with it.

And it would be too wasteful to let these highly trained and valuable intelligence personnel stand their ground like ordinary soldiers.

And as far as he knows, the Japanese side has already started negotiations with the Soviet side on the ceasefire issue.There is no need to make the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department pay the price in this case.

Qian Xiaobao observed the remaining ten or so people.Of the five Manchurians including him, only himself remained.

Except for Xueshangfei, the other three people should either be dead or injured.

From the night of July 29 until now, the sound of explosions on the ground has not stopped much.

Now that Qian Xiaobao has exercised, he can fall asleep peacefully amidst the deafening explosions.

But he still can not adapt to such an environment.

"The shells and bombs of the Soviet Army don't cost money, do they?" Qian Xiaobao said.

Lieutenant Ogasawara, who was sitting next to Qian Xiaobao, whispered, "Being brave is nothing in front of shells!"
