Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 353 Accidental Discovery
The Songhua River has turned several bends in JL City, and Dongdatan is one of them.

Since the water potential on the north bank of Dongdatan varies evenly from shallow to deep, it has been a place for collection and drainage for tens or hundreds of years.

In winter, loggers cut down big trees in the upper mountains of the Songhua River and transport them to the riverside for storage. When the Songhua River thaws in spring, they mark the logs and push them into the Songhua River.

Hundreds of logs tumbled down the Songhua River, and were dragged to the shore by workers in Dongdatan, Jilin.

Qian Xiaobao and Ogasawara stood on the shore in casual clothes and watched hundreds of workers busy.

"After the completion of the Fengman Hydropower Station, there will be no drifting of logs here," Ogasawara said.

After the Japanese occupied the Northeast, the merchants who originally operated the timber business here were quickly squeezed out, and the timber had to be loaded on trains from here to Japan.

"When are you going back?" Ogasawara asked again.

"Teacher Yamamoto told me it was three months." Qian Xiaobao replied.

"Three months is not too short, you can learn a lot of things! It is not enough for you to only know a few hundred Chinese characters now, if you can learn a thousand or two thousand Chinese characters, whether it is reading books or writing reports, there will be no problem at all. It is." Ogasawara said.

"You asked me to learn a thousand Chinese characters in three months, which is too difficult!" Qian Xiaobao replied.

"I've seen for a long time that you don't want to stay here. If you can learn a thousand Chinese characters, I will write a report and let you go back early!" Ogasawara said.

"Really?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

He really missed the days when he was a diplomatic courier sitting in the comfort and luxury of a train compartment.

Especially after a period of time, the intelligence personnel of the big northern country obviously stopped attacking him.

"Really, as long as you have a thousand Chinese characters, I will write a report and get you out of here!" Ogasawara said.

"When I was in the NCO school, I was at the top of the courses in tactics, foreign languages, war history, and military system. But shooting, camping, gymnastics, fencing and horsemanship were not good. I believe that if you are in the NCO school, these courses will definitely be at the top. Yes! If I had your physical condition, I would be sitting in the classroom of the Army University right now!" Ogasawara said with emotion.

"If you do this, you may soon be the real Lieutenant Takashima Ken instead of Chief Cao!" Ogasawara finally patted Qian Xiaobao on the shoulder to encourage him.

The two of them stood by the Dongdatan River for a while, turned around and walked back, Qian Xiaobao saw a very familiar person head on, and looked carefully, it turned out to be Guan Qinglu who was also wearing casual clothes.

"It turned out to be Instructor Ogasawara and Brother Gao. I'll just come out for a walk if I don't have anything to do." Guan Qinglu said with an embarrassed smile.

Qian Xiaobao nodded towards Guan Qinglu and then walked away with Ogasawara.

Guan Qinglu stood on the bank in a daze for a while, turned around and walked back.Today he discovered a big secret and it was really uncomfortable to keep it in his heart.

When he returned to the dormitory of the Gendarmerie Training Office, Wang Kui and Liu Xianliang were nowhere to be found, while Guo Yulin and Zhou Lu were still lying on the bed, and Gao Xingjian whom he had just seen by the river had not returned.

I carried out the mission last night and have been sleeping since returning to Jilin.The more important reason is that the two of them really have nowhere to go.

Guan Qinglu was anxious in the room, wondering if he should tell the secret in his heart.

The feeling of keeping a secret in my heart is too uncomfortable.

And he really wanted to curry favor with the sons of officials like Guo Yulin and Zhou Lu.Inviting them to eat and drink is of little use, and he also cares about money.

Now it is different to tell the secret he just discovered to the two people in front of him, and the distance between them can be shortened at once.

"Do you know who I saw in Dongdatan just now?" Guan Qinglu asked mysteriously.

Sure enough, both Guo Yulin and Zhou Lu turned to look at him.

"I saw instructor Ogasawara and Gao Xingjian!" Guan Qinglu said.

Guo Yulin and Zhou Lu's reactions were normal, which disappointed Guan Qinglu.

He turned around and pointed to Qian Xiaobao's empty bed and said, "Gao Xingjian is actually not a Manchurian, he is a Japanese!"

This time the effect was really strong, Guo Yulin and Zhou Lu both sat up at once.

"Although the two of them spoke in Japanese, I could still hear them clearly when I quietly followed behind!" Guan Qinglu said complacently.

It is now [-], eight or nine years have passed since the Japanese occupied Northeast China.

In other words, Guan Qinglu learned Japanese almost from school to the Manchukuo Police Academy.

"Gao Xingjian's real name is Gao Daojian, and he is the Chief Cao of the Kwantung Army!" Guan Qinglu added.

"No way, this kid chews green onions when he eats, and his speech still smells like a Northeast mess." Zhou Lu said in disbelief.

"What do you know! There are a lot of people like him among the intelligence agencies in Japan! You can't tell from the outside!" Guo Yulin said very expertly.

"What else?" Guo Yulin asked impatiently.

"Although Ken Takashima looks like a man from the Northeast, he doesn't have much culture. I vaguely heard the instructor Ogasawara say that if he can learn a thousand Chinese characters, he will have no problem becoming a lieutenant in the future!" Guan Qinglu replied.

He is very satisfied with the current effect. What are the three people who whisper together if they are not good friends?
Guo Yulin and Zhou Lu looked at each other and stopped talking.

Guan Qinglu hurriedly took out the cigarettes in his pocket and distributed them to the two, and then the three sat on the bed and began to smoke.

When the cigarette was almost finished, Qian Xiaobao walked in with a book under his arm.

The three of them hurriedly handed over smiling faces as if they had flipped a switch.

Guo Yulin and Zhou Lu hurriedly found the clothes thrown on the bed and took out cigarettes from inside.

But how could the actions of the two of them be so fast? Guan Qinglu had already handed a cigarette to Qian Xiaobao's hand.

Qian Xiaobao took the cigarette and put it in his mouth, then put the book under his armpit under the pillow, bent down, picked up the washbasin and walked out.

"Brother Gao, let me fetch water." Guan Qinglu shouted hastily.

"No, I'll just wash it outside." Qian Xiaobao said as he walked.

The door closed again, and Guo Yulin jumped onto the ground with bare feet and went to Qian Xiaobao's bed, and lifted the pillow to reveal the book underneath.

The other two people hurried over to look at it.

All three of them are familiar with this book—the Three Character Classic.

The three of them are all spoiled children of rich families, but they all received early education.Books like the Three Character Classic have been memorized by me when I was six or seven years old.

"The Three Character Classic has exactly one thousand characters." Guo Yulin said.

Now both he and Zhou Lu fully believed what Guan Qinglu said just now.

After a while Liu Xianliang also came in, he glanced around and asked, "Gao Xingjian hasn't come back yet?"

"I'm back, I went out to wash my face." Guan Qinglu replied with a smile.

Liu Xianliang took out a bottle of beer from his trouser pocket and put it under Qian Xiaobao's bed, then went out with the washbasin.

"Did you see? This kid already knew Gao Xingjian's identity, but he just didn't say anything, and he ate alone! It's not like me, I always tell my good friends about everything!" Guan Qinglu said to Guo Yulin and Zhou Lu.
