Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 214 The Snowstorm in Transbaikal Part [-]
This time, Hirasaku Yamamoto completely obeyed Qian Xiaobao's advice and made a big circle and got into a birch forest.

Two dense fences were tied with branches, and the two men set up a fur tent in the middle and got in to sleep soundly.

From the map, they ran sixty to seventy kilometers against the wind that night, and they were too tired to be frightened by wolves.

When the two woke up again, they found that it was dark again.

Yamamoto Heisaku looked at his pocket watch at five o'clock in the afternoon.The two slept for nearly ten hours.

Pull out a part of the fence and build a small fire.Putting the iron pan on top, Qian Xiaobao threw ice cubes and fried rice into the pan, and then added a little salt.

"After we finished eating, we headed south," said Yamamoto Heisaku.

The Trans-Siberian Railway runs from east to west.They are now north of the railroad.As long as you keep going south, you will be able to see the railway.

Qian Xiaobao didn't answer.He chopped up the jerky with a knife and threw it into the iron pot.

It's October now, and the temperature during the day can still be above zero, but at night it may drop to minus twenty degrees.

However, the current weather is much better than the usual weather of minus 40 degrees in a month or two.

After wolfing down the fried rice porridge, the two of them quickly packed up their things and put them on the sledge, walking through the birch forest all the way south.

After what happened to the wolves, now Hirasaku Yamamoto only cares about the goal, but what to do is completely under Qian Xiaobao's arrangement.

The task of the two people is to follow the railway line westward to the small town of Kalymskoye to observe the railway transportation situation.

The Trans-Siberian Railway forks here, and one goes east from the north bank of HLJ around Manchukuo and then goes south to Vladivostok.

The other one reaches Manzhouli in the southeast direction, then crosses the northeast and enters the territory of the great northern country.

In the following nearly a month, the two of them had to record the number of train runs and the number of train sections.

This task is boring and very important.Accurate calculation of the enemy's logistics and transportation capabilities can be done after the war.

Walking out of the birch forest, the two saw the Borgia River again.This river joins the Onon River and finally flows into the HLJ.

The two traveled south along the Borgia River in the dark.Until midnight, the two finally saw the railway bridge across the Borgia River.

After spending a day and a night in the middle of nowhere, although I didn't see anyone, I finally saw something artificial.

Yamamoto Heisaku took out the map to confirm the location again.With this bridge, it is finally possible to accurately determine the location.

Heirasaku Yamamoto pointed to the location marked on the map and asked Qian Xiaobao: "Our destination is to go west along the railway to Karemskoye, [-] kilometers away. Do you think we should go north of the railway, or in the How about going south on the railway?"

Now he also began to pay attention to seeking Qian Xiaobao's opinion.

Qian Xiaobao rested his chin in thought.

Knowing that Qian Xiaobao couldn't understand the map, Yamamoto Heirasaku pointed his fingers on the map and explained: "There are two borders here. To the east is Manchuria, and to the south is the nomadic country. Going forward is the small town of Borja. What I mean is to go north of the railway line, so that you can observe the situation of several settlements along the railway line."

"I think we should go south. It's safer." Qian Xiaobao said.

"There will definitely be Soviet soldiers patrolling the border of the nomadic country in the south. It will be troublesome if you meet them." Yamamoto explained patiently.

If it was a day ago, he would have given Qian Xiaobao an order.

"Didn't you say that the big northern country and the nomadic country are friendly countries? The border should be very loose. You shouldn't care if you see the two of us wearing leather robes and holding a prayer wheel." Qian Xiaobao still insisted on himself the opinion of.

"The closer we are to the nomad country, the safer we are wearing nomad clothes," Qian Xiaobao said.

Yamamoto Heisaku lowered his head as if he was looking at the map, but in fact he was struggling in his heart.He really wanted to get closer to those towns to do some in-depth investigation.

But it was obvious that Qian Xiaobao wanted more safety.

Before setting off, he only regarded Qian Xiaobao as his helper.But now he realized that he couldn't do without Qian Xiaobao.

Without Qian Xiaobao, he couldn't complete this task at all.

Under such circumstances, forcing Qian Xiaobao to carry out his orders is definitely not a good thing.This is not in Manchukuo, let alone Japan.This is uninhabited Siberia.

"Okay! Just do as you said. Let's go across the ice under the bridge and go west two or three kilometers south of the railway." Yamamoto Hirasaku finally made up his mind and said.

When the two people pulled the sledge to the bottom of the railway bridge, Yamamoto Heisaku did not pass through it immediately, but carefully looked at the structure of several bridge piers and drew them in his notebook.

The railway is the lifeline of the great northern country.If the railroad is interrupted, then logistics transportation will be completely stopped.

There is nothing terrible about the Soviet army without logistical supplies.

In the following two days, both men rested during the day and traveled westward at night.

Even walking on grass that is only knee high, it is difficult to see people tens of meters away in the dark.

Another railway appeared in front of the two of them.Qian Xiaobao subconsciously dragged the sledge to get on the railway, but Yamamoto Heisaku just stood there without moving.

There is no such railway line on the map in his hand!

With trembling hands, he took out the map in his arms to roughly determine the location.It is about 100 kilometers away from Borgia.Looking at the direction of this railway extending to the southeast, it is the direction of the nomadic country!

Could it be that the great northern country has built a railway that has been secretly extended to the nomadic country?

Hirasaku Yamamoto was very excited about this discovery.This discovery is likely to be more important than the mission they performed this time!

Qian Xiaobao had already discovered the abnormality of Yamamoto Heisaku, and he immediately squatted down on the railroad track to shrink the target.

"What happened, Mr. Yamamoto?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"The plan has changed. Now we have to follow the two ends of this railway to see where the end point is!" Yamamoto replied in a trembling voice.

"But I don't think it's right. Why is this railway so narrow?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

Only then did Yamamoto Heisaku lower his head and observe the rails carefully.He was too excited just now and didn't look at the rails carefully.

"This is a [-]-centimeter narrow gauge," said Yamamoto Heisaku.He seemed a little disappointed in his tone.

The railways in the big northern countries all have a wide gauge of 1.5 meters, but this railway is a narrow gauge of [-] centimeters.

"Hide the sledge here. Now search north, this place should not be far from the train station." Yamamoto Heisaku said.

Two or three kilometers to the north is the Trans-Siberian Railway.This railway line will definitely have a junction with the Trans-Siberian Railway and should be nearby.
