Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 296 The Frustrated Ogasawara
In order to successfully complete the task of collecting food, the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department sent Lieutenant Ogasawara.

Qian Xiaobao thought it was because the intelligence department didn't trust him, so he sent Xiao Liyuan to monitor him, but soon found out that it was the intelligence minister who was worried that Qian Xiaobao would be deceived by that profiteer Tada Goro.

And Ogasawara still had a face of reluctance.Everyone else in the intelligence department was doing things related to intelligence work, and only he was sent to collect food, which was obviously because the chief was very dissatisfied with him.

"You must be the one talking weirdly behind your back again!" Qian Xiaobao said to Ogasawara.

The two had known each other since they were sent out by the Ministry of Intelligence during the Zhang Gufeng incident.During the Battle of the Haraha River, they carried out reconnaissance missions together, and then Ogasawara was injured, and Qian Xiaobao carried him to the ground to escape the bad luck of being surrounded.

Now the relationship between the two is very familiar, and Qian Xiaobao also knows Ogasawara's nature.

Ogasawara is a person who likes to express different opinions. This kind of person is very unpopular in the eyes of the chief.

Ogasawara raised his head and began to think about what kind of different opinions he had expressed recently.

Seeing his appearance, Qian Xiaobao was furious.If I were Ogasawara, I might be a captain by now, or even a major!
"I recently submitted another report expressing disagreement on the issue of alliances," Ogasawara said.

As soon as he heard Ogasawara talk about the alliance, Qian Xiaobao knew what Ogasawara was going to say.This thing is not a secret at all.

The Japanese navy and army have been at odds for several years over Japan's alliance with Germany and Italy.

"You know that the chiefs of the Kwantung Army are all in favor of forming an alliance, yet you still bang your head against a rock!" Qian Xiaobao said bitterly.

"Besides, you are just a little lieutenant, should you worry about being an alliance or not?" Qian Xiaobao continued.

Ordinarily, Ogasawara was a lieutenant, and in terms of military rank, he was Qian Xiaobao's officer. It was presumptuous for him to speak to Ogasawara like this.

However, the relationship between the two is very good. Qian Xiaobao carried Ogasawara from the sand dunes of the Haraha River to the Ganzhuer Temple Field Hospital. When the Soviet paratroopers surrounded the field hospital, Qian Xiaobao and a dozen Japanese Soldiers used grenades to fight their way out and took Ogasawara out again.

It was also because of this battle that Ogasawara was promoted from second lieutenant to lieutenant.

That's why Qian Xiaobao spoke so bluntly in front of Ogasawara.

"This bunch of pigs!" Ogasawara scolded.

"You are not from the navy. If you were from the navy, the more you scold the officer, the happier you will be. Besides, we have been arguing for several years, so let them continue to quarrel." Qian Xiaobao said.

After hearing Qian Xiaobao's words, Ogasawara shook his head and replied regretfully: "According to the news I got from my classmate who was a staff officer in the base camp, the army's opinion has already prevailed, and there may be a formal result in a short time. And that's why I wrote this report."

Qian Xiaobao suddenly felt that chatting like this in private was very useful for intelligence, but the rank of the officers of the intelligence department he came into contact with now was too low.

It would be great if I could often chat with the chief of the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department.Qian Xiaobao thought of it in a whimsical way.

"Officer Ogasawara, are you married yet?" Qian Xiaobao asked suddenly.

Ogasawara was stunned for a moment and replied: "Not yet, but there is a girl in my hometown in Niigata who is still waiting for me to go back and get married."

"It turns out Chief Ogasawara already has a sweetheart!" Qian Xiaobao said with a smile.

Even if the chief of the intelligence department in the future asked Ogasawara: "What did you say when you were with Qian Xiaobao?"

Ogasawara's first thought should be that Qian Xiaobao asked him if he had a family, but he ignored the aforementioned matter that the army's opinion on forming an alliance had already prevailed.

"About harvesting grain, I plan to start with several counties near Harbin, and then go east to Mudanjiang Province and Dong'an Province. What do you think?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

When it comes to collecting food, Ogasawara feels a headache.He is really not interested in this matter.

He was interested in sitting in the Ministry of Intelligence and working on strategic issues.But the officers of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army refused to let him do it!
"You can figure it out yourself, just don't let that profiteer Tada Goro harm your public and private interests!" Ogasawara said.

Qian Xiaobao planned to start with Acheng, which is the closest to Harbin. There are still three pioneer groups there, to see if there is any food there.

It is now December, and the grain harvest time that Manchukuo forcibly suppressed has passed.And now there is a "one sack" campaign, that is, every household has to pay another sack in addition to the rated amount of grain.

Now the surplus grain left in common people's homes may not be enough for the winter at all.

So Qian Xiaobao turned his idea to the Pioneering Team.All Japanese in the Pioneering Group are called to contribute food to the Great Japanese Empire!
Schultz and Qian Xiaobao meet again.This time the connection signal was sent by Schultz.

He handed a square wooden box to Qian Xiaobao.

"The bomb you want is inside, and it needs to be reassembled when it is used," Schultz said.

Schultz was a little frustrated when he said this.He received rigorous training in the intelligence organization in the early 20s, but after more than ten years, he felt that he had fallen behind.He no longer knows how to use many new things.

The transmitter that Hannah has now is much more advanced than the one he used when he was studying.

The timing device on the time bomb handed over to Qian Xiaobao was something he had never seen before.

Qian Xiaobao opened the lid of the box and took a look.

"Are you sure you can use it?" Schultz asked.

"No problem! I am a Soviet spy trained strictly by the Japanese!" Qian Xiaobao said.

Indeed, as Qian Xiaobao said, all the skills he has as an intelligence officer can be said to have been taught by the Japanese.

"Do you want to hear some gossip?" Qian Xiaobao said.

"The Japan-Germany alliance is said to have gained the upper hand in the opinion of the Japanese domestic army, and it may not take too long to have a result." Qian Xiaobao said.

This is a big piece of information, this is definitely a big piece of information!

Schultz said in his heart.

"How do you know?" Schultz asked.

"A friend of mine in the intelligence department, his classmate from the non-commissioned officer school is now the combat staff officer of the base camp. I got the news from him." Qian Xiaobao said.

Schultz held back the joy in his heart and said: "On behalf of the organization, I would like to express my gratitude for your work! Comrade Otto!"

"It's nothing. Isn't our common enemy the Japanese? Don't we all hope to drive the Japanese away earlier? I'm willing to do anything for that day!" Qian Xiaobao said.
