Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 464
It has been two or three days since Schultz sent out the signal to ask for a joint, but Qian Xiaobao has never been seen at the joint.

"It's not that he doesn't want to see you?" Hannah asked.

"No, it may be that he has left Harbin for something." Schultz replied.

Schultz's guess is not wrong at all, Qian Xiaobao and his party have already rushed to Hutou.

A group of four quietly departed from Harbin and arrived at Mishan by train, and then the No.11 Division sent a truck to take them to Hutou, 150 kilometers away, in half a day.

The Jiangshang Army of Manchukuo had an office in Hutou, with a total of ten officers and soldiers and a fifty-horsepower patrol boat in the office.

The Jiangshang Army Office has received an order to send them to Zhenbao Island dozens of miles away in patrol boats along the Ussuri River immediately after their arrival.

The Hutou area is guarded by the Fifth Frontier Garrison. On Zhenbao Island, there is a detachment of the garrison to monitor the situation of the Soviet army on the east bank of the Ussuri River.

The river to the west of Zhenbao Island is 150 meters wide, and a regiment of Japanese troops is stationed on the shore.The east side of the river is 300 meters wide, and the east bank is the observation position of the Soviet Far East Front Army.

Wu Chang Fujiwara heard the soldiers report that a newcomer came to the island and immediately came to check.

Among the four people sent by the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army this time, Lieutenant Ogasawara has the highest rank, followed by special agents Cao Changqian Xiaobao, Cao Changshan Benxiu, and the youngest is Lieutenant Ishiba Jingsan.

After seeing the four people, Akira Fujiwara immediately stood at attention and saluted, "A report from Akira Fujiwara from the Weng Island Observatory of the Fifth Defense Team!"

"Lieutenant Ogasawara of the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army was ordered to investigate the hydrogeological conditions of the Wusuli River here." Ogasawara replied politely.

"How many people are there on this island?" Ogasawara asked.

"A team of thirteen people. Set up an observation point at each end of the island." Akira Fujiwara replied.

"Is there a boat?" Ogasawara continued to ask.

"There is a small boat for transporting supplies." Akira Fujiwara replied.

"Okay, go about your own affairs, you don't need to take care of our affairs." Ogasawara said.

He turned around and said to Qian Xiaobao: "You take the two of them to build a house, and you still have a few hours to hurry up!"

"Hi!"

In front of outsiders, Qian Xiaobao still gave Ogasawara a lot of face.

Zhenbao Island was originally a peninsula-like piece of land stretching out into the river, but it became a small island due to the erosion of the river.

The island is full of weeds and poplars and willows.

Qian Xiaobao came back with Sugimoto Xiu and Shi Po Jingsan, who chopped off more than a dozen arms-thick branches with their knives.

Qian Xiaobao found a relatively high and hidden place, like a fence, and used branches to tie a square circle, and then used branches with twigs and leaves to build on it.

The hut that was exposed to the wind but could keep out the rain was quickly built.

After laying the branches and leaves on the ground, Qian Xiaobao instructed: "The biggest problem is moisture-proof, take out the quilt every day to dry!"

Ogasawara came back with his hands behind his back. He was not good at physical work and didn't want to do it.

"Go pick up some dry branches and come back to cook!" Qian Xiaobao ordered.Excluding Ogasawara, he is the chief of the remaining two.

Shi Po Jingsan and Sugimoto Xiu heard Qian Xiaobao's order and hurried to pick up branches.

Qian Xiaobao dug a shallow pit on the ground with a marching shovel to set up a marching stove.

Shi Pojingsan built a shelf with branches, hung all four lunch boxes on it, and lit a fire underneath.

There are rice and water in the lunch box, and the rice will be ready in a short time.

Sugimoto put two cans of beef in a marching pot and added water.Light the fire, and the water in the pot will boil quickly.

This time when the four of them came, they brought enough supplies.

"Slow down the fire, Qian Xiaobao went out to find something to eat, and will be back soon." Ogasawara said.

More than 20 minutes later, Qian Xiaobao returned with a handful of wild vegetables in his left hand and three wild duck eggs in his right hand.

He threw wild vegetables into the pot directly, and three wild duck eggs were broken and poured into the pot.

Qian Xiaobao smashed the wild duck eggs with a spoon and covered the pot again.

"This island still has a lot of delicious food in the water! Let's investigate the wild animals and plants here by the way!" Qian Xiaobao said.

On both sides of the Wusuli River are large swamps, where wild ducks, wild geese and other birds inhabit in summer.Moreover, there are all kinds of fish in the river, Qian Xiaobao is not going to let go of this good opportunity.

Ten minutes later, when the four of them were eating around the marching pot, Ogasawara took a sip of the soup and said in admiration, "Sigouyi!"

These few days have been traveling by car and boat, and the four of them are very tired.

Soon after dinner, the four of them were ready to march and get ready for bed.

Qian Xiaobao mixed hay and mugwort together and lit it, and smoke burst out of the tree house instantly.

"Be patient, it's better than being bitten by mosquitoes." Qian Xiaobao said.

All four fell asleep soon after they fell.

The snoring of four people can be heard from far away.I don't know how long they slept, but a burst of machine gunfire woke up all four of them.

Qian Xiaobao picked up the [-] rifle that was beside him and rushed out without any clothes on.

Ishiba Keizo and Sugimoto Xiu followed closely behind Qian Xiaobao with their rifles in hand, but Ogasawara moved the slowest. When he went out, the other three had already disappeared.

First one machine gun, and then three machine guns fired from the opposite direction towards Zhenbao Island.

A flare lights up in mid-air and slowly descends.It turned out to be a flare with an umbrella.

Zhenbao Island is shaped like an ingot, with the upper part of the ingot facing the direction of the Eastern Soviet Army positions.

The two observation points of the garrison team are located on the two points at both ends of the ingot.

Qian Xiaobao and the other two were from the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army, and they thought of the same situation.

It seemed that it wasn't the Soviet army attacking, but someone must have come running from the Ussuri River.

The three looked carefully at the river, but they couldn't see anything even with the flares.

It seemed that the three machine gunners on the opposite side hadn't seen the target either, and the machine gun bullets were splashing back and forth on the river like a storm.

Boom!

Two more flares rose into the sky, and the surface of the 300-meter-wide Ussuri River became brighter.

Taking this opportunity, Qian Xiaobao and the other two carefully searched the river surface.

"There! It's only a few tens of meters away!" Sugimoto was the first to spot the target, and he raised his finger to point to the river not far away.

Qian Xiaobao looked in the direction of Sugimoto's finger, and under the illumination of two flares, water splashes were moving towards them 50 meters away.

Shi Po Jingsan stood up and ran to the shore, he wanted to meet the defector.

But he didn't run very far when he was thrown to the ground by Qian Xiaobao who was chasing up from behind.

Machine gun bullets whizzed past their scalps.

"Baga! Don't die!" Qian Xiaobao scolded.
