Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 288
Harbin Red Cross Society Hospital.

Masako Matsushita, the head nurse, was demonstrating in front of dozens of nurses.

On the table was a black cylindrical thing about a foot high, a tin can and a glass of water.

Masako Matsushita unscrewed the bottom of the cylindrical thing hard and took out a small float with a hole in the bottom.

"Take a small piece of the calcium carbide in the jar and put it in this." Masako Matsushita said.Then she took out a small off-white stone from the tin can and put it into the buoy.

Put the small buoy into the black cylinder again and screw it, and Masako Matsushita pours water into the cylinder from the water injection port.

There was a chirping sound inside the cylinder.

Masako Matsushita took out the match in her pocket and lit the nozzle close to the end of the long and thin round tube protruding from the cylinder.

With a pop, the gas ejected from the nozzle was ignited, emitting a dazzling white light.

"Do you understand? Everyone come over and demonstrate." Masako Matsushita said.

Dozens of nurses then each came over to rerun the process.

Although Harbin already has electricity, power outages are commonplace.At this time, the lighting in the hospital becomes a problem.

The Red Cross Hospital recently purchased a batch of calcium carbide lamps to solve the lighting problem.

Usually the work of manipulating the calcium carbide lamp naturally falls on the nurses.

Half an hour later, Xiao Linxun walked towards the dormitory with a calcium carbide lamp in one hand and a tin can of calcium carbide in the other.

When there is a power outage, calcium carbide lamps are naturally used for lighting in the dormitory.

"Miss Xiaolinxun, you must be careful when using this kind of thing! Otherwise, it will be dangerous!"

A man who looked like a doctor came over and said with concern.

"Thank you, I know about this." Xiao Linxun replied coldly.

In the evening, Xiao Linxun came to Qian Xiaobao's house with a calcium carbide lamp.

Compared with learning knowledge from books, Qian Xiaobao's hands-on ability is extremely strong.

He disassembled all the places where the calcium carbide lamp could be disassembled.

"You need to pierce the bottom holes often with a needle, and don't let them be blocked!" Qian Xiaobao instructed, pointing to the bottom pores of the buoy inside the calcium carbide lamp.

Common people call this kind of lamp a gas lamp.But it is not used much, not because it is dangerous, but because calcium carbide is difficult to get.

Of course, this is not a problem for Qian Xiaobao.

"Also, you must be careful when using it, and stay away from the flame! The temperature of the flame of this lamp is much higher than that of a candle oil lamp! It is said that real gold is not afraid of fire, but gold will melt when it encounters this kind of fire." Facing Xiao Linxun's safety issue, Qian Xiaobao suddenly became chattery, his mouth was like the waist of an old lady's cotton trousers, and he kept talking endlessly.

"You just said that this kind of lamp can even burn gold?" Xiao Linxun asked.

She caught the point right away.

"Yes, this kind of fire is used to cut steel plates directly!" Qian Xiaobao replied.

After answering Xiao Linxun's question, Qian Xiaobao also came to his senses.

"What do you want to do? Don't mess around!" Qian Xiaobao said.

"We'll talk about that matter after the wind has passed. It's just that a doctor in the hospital has been courting me recently. It's really annoying!" Xiao Linxun said.

"What? There are such bastards!" Qian Xiaobao said angrily.

He wished he could stuff a calcium carbide into the stomach of that ignorant kid right now, and let him inflate like a balloon!

"It's Dr. Matsumoto in the hospital. I heard that he graduated from Tokyo Imperial University last year." Kaoru Kobayashi said.

"Is it great to have studied in university? I haven't studied, so I am full of knowledge!" Qian Xiaobao said.It's just that he didn't have much confidence when he said this.

"You are much smarter than that Dr. Matsumoto. If you study hard, you will definitely be better than him!" Kobayashi said.

"That's right! From tomorrow onwards, I will study hard for you!" Qian Xiaobao said.

Xiao Linxun was very happy in his heart, women like to see men jealous for themselves.

Qian Xiaobao sent Xiao Linxun all the way back to the Red Cross Society Hospital, looking at Xiao Linxun's back, Qian Xiaobao's face was like a bitter melon.

It is too difficult to be a man with such a woman. Wu can go for gold, and Wen is stronger than Tokyo Imperial University.

"Qian Xiaobao, you have performed very well these days! You come so early every day, and every time you see you, you are studying hard." Yamamoto Heisaku said approvingly.

Yamamoto Heisaku is in a good mood these days, a little rejuvenated.

Qian Xiaobao was dizzy from a lot of hiragana and katakana just now, and now he is looking at the intelligence briefing to change his mind.

For him, now is the best time to learn Japanese. The people on him are all Japanese who are proficient in Chinese. It can be said that everyone is his teacher.

There is no classified intelligence content on the intelligence briefing, which is equivalent to a news compilation.It is convenient for intelligence personnel to keep abreast of the situation so as not to fall behind.

"Teacher Yamamoto, the battle in the west is not over yet, and it seems that we don't know how long it will last." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Yeah, most people predicted it wrong at the time. I didn't expect the war to be like this. I remember that when the two of us talked about it, your attitude was much more cautious than mine." Yamamoto replied.

"Now it's time for the top Kwantung Army and the Japanese headquarters to feel uncomfortable. A country as small as Finland can support it for such a long time and inflict heavy damage on the enemy, but the Kwantung Army was defeated by the enemy." Yamamoto continued.

"Could it be that the Kwantung Army is going to fight the northern neighbor again?" Qian Xiaobao asked nervously.

This was exactly what Schultz had made him focus on.

Yamamoto Heisaku shook his head and said: "Probably not! The war in the direction of Changsha has just ended, and it consumed a lot of manpower and material resources but finally lost. There will be no big moves in the base camp recently."

After the Battle of the Halaha River, the Kwantung Army's top management changed hands, and the Kwantung Army is now much more obedient than before.

Without orders from the base camp, the Kwantung Army would not be as reckless as before.

"At present, all the troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Army are generally short of food. Telegrams asking for help are flying to the Kwantung Army like snowflakes. The base camp also frequently urges the delivery of food from Manchukuo to North China and South China." Yamamoto Heisaku said.

"The food stored by the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army at Sankeshu Railway Station will also be moved. It should go south and be transported by sea to the Thirteenth Army Command in Shanghai. Commander Fujita Shin has been urging for a long time."

Speaking of this, Hirasaku Yamamoto lowered his head and asked Qian Xiaobao: "You once went to Shanghai with Chief Michitake Yamaoka, do you want to go again?"

"Is this batch of rice sold to the Thirteenth Army stationed in Shanghai?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"Of course not!" Yamamoto replied.

"I'm willing to go!" Qian Xiaobao immediately said eagerly.
