Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 197 Who Is Otto?
Takahiro Ono also heard what Second Lieutenant Ogasawara said.He gave Ogasawara a hard look.

Being good at thinking is not a good thing for soldiers.Those who are good at thinking are not easy to be brave, only those who are not thinking will be fearless.

This is the truth that the Chinese say that those who do not think have no fear.

Although all the people in the intelligence department have been withdrawn from the front line, there are still many things to do.

These people are all people who have observed the Soviet army's combat at close range. They must summarize the number of Soviet army weapons and equipment, summarize the characteristics of the Soviet army's combat tactics, and so on.And these jobs are very helpful for guiding future operations.

But to do such a thing, people who are good at thinking like Ogasawara are indispensable.

So Ono Tahiro ordered the remaining ten or so individuals headed by Major Ogasawara to compile a summary report immediately.

However, after the report was written, Ono Takahiro had to review it carefully.Now the noses of the Japanese soldiers are all up to the sky.This report must not offend the high-level Japanese army.

The soldiers on both sides of the front line did not know that the two sides had already negotiated in secret, and thousands of soldiers were still fighting hard on the battlefield under heavy artillery fire.

The number of Soviet soldiers on the front has increased to 5000, and more than 7000 are covering the flanks.

This cramped battlefield was almost crowded with soldiers from both sides.

What's more, there are two to three hundred tanks in front of the Soviet army, and more than 200 cannons in the rear.

The Japanese army on the opposite side had only five brigades and 37 cannons.

The Soviet army went all out, but the Japanese army was too timid to fight.

During the day, the Soviet army relied on the help of tanks, artillery and bombers to seize the positions. At night, the Japanese army relied on night raids and then relied on close combat and hand-to-hand combat to regain them.

The two sides are constantly engaged in a tug-of-war on Shacao Peak, Zhanggu Peak and 52 Highland.

Hiroshi Ono knew on August [-] that the two sides had signed an armistice agreement.

But the life-and-death fight between the two sides continued until the morning of the [-]th.

At eleven o'clock in the morning on the [-]th, the Soviet soldiers who attacked the position withdrew, but the Soviet artillery fire became more violent.They seemed to have to run out of all the shells transported to the field to stop the fighting.

More than 200 cannons fired in unison, firing shells to three positions non-stop.Even the houses in Fangchuan a few kilometers away were trembling.

Ono Takuhiro glanced at his watch.The time for the truce at twelve o'clock is coming soon, and there must be a few unlucky ones who will die at the last moment.

At twelve noon, the Soviet artillery stopped abruptly.The world has returned to its original state of tranquility.

Qian Xiaobao looked to the north in the direction of Shacao Peak and Zhanggu Peak and could still see the undissipated gunpowder smoke.

Now I can't hear any gunfire, which is a little unaccustomed to Qian Xiaobao who has been listening to the gunfire for half a month.

He didn't know that it was a truce, and he was still waiting for the cannon to ring again.But he waited until night without hearing another cannon.

"The war has ceased, and we can go back in a few days." Second Lieutenant Ogasawara said.

This summary report cannot be completed until the Japanese casualties are counted.And they can only go back after turning the dead soldiers into Arabic numerals and filling in the form.

On August [-]th, at the foot of the southeast mountain of Zhanggufeng, the two sides exchanged prisoners and corpses.The statistics of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army are completely over.

Qian Xiaobao didn't know until he got in the car that among the more than 20 people from the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army this time, in addition to the current eleven, there were four injured.Everyone else is dead.

All dead means that two of them have not been alive until now.

Qian Xiaobao thought of the scene where he was buried under hundreds of catties of mud thrown up by the shell explosion.

Naturally, going back was not as urgent as rushing to Fangchuan, and the delay on the road was relatively long.

Lieutenant Ogasawara finished the report while he was on the road.

Two days after returning to Harbin, Ono Tahiro gave his revised report to Second Lieutenant Ogasawara for him to copy.

Ogasawara found that the estimated Soviet weaponry and troop strength figures in his original report had been adjusted by Ono Hiroshi.

The number of cannons has been adjusted from 250 to 280.The number of tanks has been adjusted from 350 to 250.The aircraft was adjusted from [-] to [-].

The number of Soviet troops also changed from 3000 to 5000.

After such an adjustment, the record of the Japanese army became even more prominent.In particular, the 75th Wing of the [-]th Division faced such a powerful enemy at half the cost of casualties, but stood firm.What a heroic spirit!

Even without this report, some people in the current Japanese army have begun to brag that one division of the Japanese army can beat three divisions of the Soviet army.

"Qian Xiaobao is back? When I heard that only one of the five Manchurians was sent out, I guessed it would be him! Why didn't he come to me?" Kono Harue asked.

"Qian Xiaobao said that his ears were bombarded by shells and he still can't hear voices, so he can't come here for the time being." Xiao Linxun replied.

"Why can I talk to you when I can't hear the voice? He just doesn't want to see me!" Kono Harue said.

"There is indeed a problem with his ears. I need to speak loudly against his ears so that he can hear." Xiao Linxun hurriedly explained.

"Really? If that's the case, I'll wait for him for a few more days. But you tell him, if he comes late, I may have to recommend him to perform the mission again." Kono Harue said.

"I heard from Qian Xiaobao that the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army is planning to transfer him from the Security Bureau to the Intelligence Department. Major Ono Dakuan appreciates him very much," Xiao Linxun said.

Kono Harue's complexion finally changed.She didn't know that Qian Xiaobao was going to the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army.

What is the meaning here?
Schulz listened to the radio in an apartment in Moscow.Instead of a radio in his room, there was a broadcasting speaker outside the apartment.

"The great and heroic Red Army soldiers wiped out a total of 38 Japanese invaders. Destroyed 46 tanks and shot down [-] aircraft...,"

Schultz has been locked away in the apartment for nearly a month.The superior leaders have not received him.

Only from the radio did he know that the Soviet army had just fought a brutal war with the Japanese army in Hunchun.

If he was in Harbin at this time, he should be able to get a lot of information, right?But what's the use of getting it?It can't be delivered at all!

The first thing Schultz did after arriving in Moscow was to report to his superiors what he had learned about the destruction of the intelligence network in Harbin.Also, the person who had relayed the telegrams for him was probably already under arrest.

But as soon as he showed up, he was taken away and quarantined.

Just then, he heard footsteps outside the door.
