Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 409 Difficult Task Four
Zhongzuo Utagawa went to the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army to meet with Liu Tian Yuansan.

"I am very grateful for the support of the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army. I have selected seven members of the White Russian Action from the Asano Army and the Harbin Academy." Utagawa said.

"That's good, I wish you success in your actions." Liu Tian Yuansan said.

"I also selected Second Lieutenant Hasebe Taro from the Intelligence Department to lead the seven action members to carry out this mission." Utagawa continued to report.

"Understood, the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army obeys the dispatch from the General Staff Headquarters." Liu Tian Yuansan nodded.

"However, Hasebe Taro recommended to me that Chief Qian Xiaobao, the special agent of the intelligence department, also participated in this operation. But I haven't seen Qian Xiaobao, Chief Cao," Utagawa said.

Yanagida Genzo looked up at Utagawa and asked, "You want to use a Manchurian for this top-secret operation?"

"Second Lieutenant Hasebe Taro said that Qian Xiaobao's special agent, Chief Cao, is very reliable and has a strong ability to act. Adding such a person to the operation team can help Hasebe Taro better control the seven White Russian team members." Utagawa Tatsu replied road.

"Qian Xiaobao is not good at speaking Russian, he is not suitable to participate in this operation." Liutian Yuansan refused.

Utagawa didn't expect Yanagida Motosan, the head of the agency, to speak for a small special agent Cao. He hastily insisted: "This is a task specifically assigned by Minister Tojo. I hope the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department will fully support it!"

"I have already received a call from Heisaku Yamamoto. I think what he said is very reasonable. Qian Xiaobao is indeed not suitable to participate in this operation." Liutian Yuansan replied.

If it was a task assigned by the Chief of Staff of the Tojo Kwantung Army, Yanagida Genzo would still consider it.Now it is the task assigned by Riku Tojo, Yanagida Genzo no longer considers it.

From the bottom of my heart, whether it was Yanagida Genzo or Yamamoto Heisaku, everyone in the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army who knew about this plan thought that this plan was too crazy and impossible to succeed.

Since everyone thinks this way, how can an intelligence officer like Qian Xiaobao be willing to send out to die in vain?

When Schultz and Qian Xiaobao met, he told about the fact that his superiors specially sent someone to Harbin to meet him.

"According to reliable information, Liushikov returned to Manchukuo from Japan, and the superior asked him to find him at all costs!" Schultz said.

"Because of Liushikov's confession, hundreds of people in Manchuria were arrested. More than a year has passed. How could he still have a secret in his belly that he didn't tell the Japanese? Investigate this matter, but I can't do it at all costs." Qian Xiaobao replied.

"I mean find out as much about Chaliushkov's whereabouts as possible without exposing yourself," Schultz said, nodding.

This means that he actually agrees with Qian Xiaobao's idea.

"Lyushikov returned to Manchukuo? Why didn't I hear anything about it? Maybe he's not in Harbin now." Qian Xiaobao said.

The capital of Manchukuo is Xinjing, and the headquarters of the Kwantung Army is also in Xinjing, but the focus of Manchukuo's intelligence work is in Harbin. Where can Liushikov go after returning to Manchukuo from Japan but not Harbin?

"I think it is very unusual for Liushikov to return to Manchuria suddenly this time. He knew that it would be dangerous to return to the Manchurian Congress. This shows that the Japanese must have some secret plan." Schultz said.

"I'm going to Shanghai in two days. I can only investigate this matter after I come back." Qian Xiaobao said.

After Utagawa Tatsu left Yanagida Genzo's office, he found Lieutenant Hasebe Taro.

"Pack up your bags immediately and all the people in the action team will leave Harbin and go to Dalian for training tomorrow," Utagawa said.

"How about the Qian Xiaobao I introduced to you?" Hasebe Taro asked.

"I haven't seen it all the time. I heard from Heisaku Yamamoto that Qian Xiaobao was preparing for the third trip to the south to transport grain. Director Yanagida Motozo said that Qian Xiaobao was not suitable for this operation." Utagawa replied.

"Is it okay to send food to Shanghai? This shows that the chiefs of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army are not optimistic about the operation planned by the General Staff Headquarters." Hasebe Taro replied.

Hasebe Taro hoped that Qian Xiaobao would also participate in this operation not entirely because Qian Xiaobao was an excellent operator, but because of the result, every mission Qian Xiaobao carried out successfully came back alive every time.

Although everyone said that they would die for the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, but who didn't want to live a few more years?
Hasebe Taro also judged that his hope of coming back alive was slim from this operation, and he would feel much more at ease with someone like Qian Xiaobao by his side.

Qian Xiaobao's Kwantung Army's intelligence department has been paying attention to Qian Xiaobao's mission in the past two years.

The four people were divided into two groups and passed through HLJ to receive intelligence agents, and the other group of two people has since disappeared.But Qian Xiaobao and Chida Bingwei came back with the drawings.

The most irritating thing is that the head of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army sent the annoying Ogasawara to the sand dunes of the Nuomenkan battlefield, and was bombarded violently by the Red Army for more than ten days. Qian Xiaobao was brought back alive!

People who have been born and died many times will have some fate in their hearts.Taro Hasebe really hoped to go on a mission with Qian Xiaobao this time.

However, according to Utagawa Tatsu's meaning, Liu Tian Yuansan, director of the agency, was unwilling to let Qian Xiaobao take risks, but he was indifferent to Utagawa Tatsu's choice of himself to carry out this mission.

It seems that I am not as important as the Manchurian Qian Xiaobao in the heart of the Kwantung Army Intelligence Minister.

Thinking of this, Taro Hasebe felt very uncomfortable.

Taro Hemoto transported the medicinal materials back to Harbin, which meant that Qian Xiaobao was going to Shanghai again soon.

Qian Xiaobao was still thinking about the task Schultz entrusted to him.He thought about it and decided to invite Yamamoto Hirasaku to dinner in the name of celebrating Yamamoto Hirasaku finally having a child before leaving Harbin.

The two sat down in a restaurant not far from the Red Cross Hospital.

"Mr. Yamamoto, please accept 300 yuan here." Qian Xiaobao said as he put an envelope on the table.

In the future, there will be two people who need Hirasaku Yamamoto to support, and it will not be easy for him now.

"It's really embarrassing to take your money. Thank you!" Yamamoto Heisaku said and put the envelope in his pocket.

"I should be the one to thank Mr. Yamamoto! You have been teaching me for the past two years, and this time you specifically asked me not to show up because it was for my own sake, right?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"Those lunatics from the General Staff Headquarters planned a secret operation and sent people to the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army to select the operatives. They heard about you and wanted you to participate in the selection, but I declined." Yamamoto replied.
