Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 248 Dangerous Mission
"Mr. Yamamoto doesn't know? I was urgently recruited from the Field Artillery Regiment by the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army." Qian Xiaobao replied.He was equally astonished.

Yamamoto Heisaku didn't know why he came back!
Hearing Qian Xiaobao's answer, Yamamoto Heisaku pondered for a long time.

Now the vanguard of the 23rd Division in the direction of Haraha has already exchanged fire with the opponent.

The follow-up troops of the 23rd Division and the Kwantung Army's tank wing and flying wing are continuously being transferred there.

It seems that this time is different from Zhanggufeng, the top Kwantung Army is determined to fight.

Then Qian Xiaobao's being recruited back should also be related to this matter.But why didn't he even know it beforehand?
Yamamoto Hirasaku was full of doubts.

"What's the smell on you?" Yamamoto Heisaku also wrinkled his nose and asked.

"Don't mention it! You sent me to train with the intelligence team of the Field Artillery Regiment of the Second Division. But they walked in the front during training, and let me carry a one-meter-long military pigeon cage behind me! There are also pigeons Grain and fine sand. In just over a month, I learned how to feed pigeons and smell like pigeon dung!" Qian Xiaobao complained.

A large number of military pigeons were kept in the Japanese army for battlefield communication.Their importance is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

Hearing Qian Xiaobao's complaint, Yamamoto Heisaku also felt dissatisfied.

The vast majority of Japanese look down on the Chinese in their hearts, thinking they are stupid and incompetent.

But Hirasaku Yamamoto was not included among these people.Especially after he came into contact with Qian Xiaobao, he would not have such thoughts.

"Go back and rest first. I'm going to call the Intelligence Department to find out what's going on." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Qian Xiaobao said.

Watching Qian Xiaobao leave, Yamamoto Heisaku took the phone.

Since it is a dispatch mission, the second intelligence squad of the intelligence department should be in charge.Yamamoto Heisaku directly called the second shift.

"Master in the temple, my student Qian Xiaobao has returned today. He said he was recruited urgently by the intelligence department. But I didn't know about this beforehand. What's going on?" Yamamoto Heisaku asked.

"It's a confidential mission, and it must not be leaked to the public. You can stop asking here." The lieutenant in the temple replied.

"I think my student Qian Xiaobao is not mature enough, it's best not to send him out now. Can you change someone?" Yamamoto Heisaku asked.

"The bounden duty of a soldier is to obey! Aren't you a soldier, Captain Yamamoto?" Terauchi Lieutenant Commander asked sharply on the phone.

Yamamoto Heisaku hurriedly stood up and said, "Hi!"

But Yamamoto Heisaku who put down the phone still had a gloomy expression.

After thinking for a while, Heisaku Yamamoto took the phone and asked the operator to connect to Michitake Yamaoka, Assistant Officer of the Intelligence Department.

Yamaoka Michitake picked up the phone and silently listened to Yamamoto Heisaku's narration.Dotake Yamaoka knew about this top-secret mission.But he didn't know that there was Qian Xiaobao among the operatives.

After listening to Yamamoto Heisaku's narration, Yamaoka Michitake said into the microphone: "Understood, I will ask about this matter."

He put down the phone and said to the guard: "Go and call the Sergeant Siuchi of the intelligence squad here."

After a while, the middle assistant in the temple called into Yamaoka Michitake's office.

"I heard that there is Qian Xiaobao among the people performing the mission in this secret operation?" Yamaoka Michitake asked straightforwardly.

"Yes! Qian Xiaobao followed Yamamoto Heisaku to that area last year. The operation needed a guide, so he was added to the operation personnel." Temple Nai Zhongzuo replied.

Yamaoka Michitake looked up at the temple commander.

Fighting near the Kharaha River has intensified.The Kwantung Army has made up its mind to fight a big fight.

This time, the Ministry of Intelligence sent more than a dozen operatives to go deep into the territory of the northern neighboring country to blow up the railway bridge on the Siberian Railway.

According to intelligence, a large number of Soviet troops and military equipment are being transported in an endless stream.Blowing up the railway bridge can temporarily cut off the Soviet army's transport supplies.

This is a huge support for the 23rd Division rushing to the battlefield.

But now the Soviet army must have strengthened its defenses.Even if the operation is successful, it will be difficult to escape back under the siege and interception of the Soviet army.So the risk of this operation is extremely high.

Just now the lieutenant in the temple said that it was pure nonsense to ask Qian Xiaobao to be a guide.

The Trans-Siberian Railway is there.Follow the railway and you will naturally find the railway bridge.

Yamaoka Michitake naturally knew what the temple commander was thinking.

This operation requires carrying a large number of explosive detonation equipment.When advancing, someone needs to be in the front to detect and detect, and when retreating, someone needs to be behind to cover.

In a word, we need someone who is particularly capable and able to do it.And it's best if one dies and won't feel bad.

So it is most suitable to let Qian Xiaobao go.

"The railway bridge is right there, do you still need someone as a guide?" Yamaoka Michitake asked in a strict tone.

"Our soldiers of the Japanese Empire couldn't find a railway bridge along the railway line with a map? Shame!" Yamaoka Michitake said.

After softening his tone, Michitake Yamaoka said again: "Qian Xiaobao is a Manchurian intelligence officer trained by the Ministry of Intelligence. There are some things that we Japanese cannot replace Manchurians after all. There are more important tasks waiting for him in the future. Let him be removed from the list of action personnel this time."

Senior Sergeant Terauchi, who walked back to the intelligence squad, was puzzled.They all knew that Qian Xiaobao used the sledge to pull back the frostbitten Hirasaku Yamamoto.

Therefore, it is understandable that Yamamoto Ping, as Qian Xiaobao's pleading for the lieutenant in the temple.But now even Yamaoka Dotake has come out to speak for that Manchurian boy.

"This Qian Xiaobao is not simple." Said the lieutenant assistant in the temple.

Ogasawara, who was sitting next to him, said: "I heard the call from Yamamoto Heisaku just now. Qian Xiaobao followed Yamamoto Heisaku to Transbaikal to perform a mission. Without Qian Xiaobao, Yamamoto Heirasaku would not be able to come back alive. So Yamamoto It's normal for Ping to speak as Qian Xiaobao."

"I know about this. I have already pushed Hirasaku Yamamoto back on the phone. But just now, Commander Yamaoka called me over and ordered me to remove Qian Xiaobao from the list of operatives." Said Lieutenant Commander Terauchi.

Ogasawara said with a smile: "It turns out that the middle assistant in the temple didn't know! Three months ago, Michitake Yamaoka took me and Qian Xiaobao to Shanghai. Tatsuo Nakamoto, the special commissioner of the appeasement third district, came to visit Governor Yamaoka. Tatsuo Nakamoto said goodbye At that time, it turned out that Chief Yamaoka was going to see him off, but was stopped by Qian Xiaobao. As a result, Tatsuo Nakamoto was beaten to death just as he walked out of the Richa Hotel. It would be very dangerous if Chief Yamaoka went out to see him off. It can be said that it was Qian Xiaobao Saved Chief Yamaoka's life!"

"No wonder it's like this, it turns out that Manchurian boy is not simple!" Said the lieutenant in the temple.
