Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 473 The Miraculous Swallow VI
Fuyuan County, Sanjiang Province has only 8000 people, and Fuyuan Town has only one street running from east to west, but only more than 2000 people.

The population of Fuyuan Town is not as large as the number of Japanese troops stationed in Fuyuan plus the Manchukuo Army.

The truck stopped in front of a three-room adobe house, which is the Fuyuan Police Station of the JMS Branch of the Ministry of Intelligence.

Chidahei asked Qian Xiaobao and the other three to rest in the West Wing, while he and Nishida Katsuki went to another room to discuss matters.

"Our destination is here!" Chidahei said, pointing to a point on the map.

"Lower Spassk? This area is full of swamps. If it's okay in winter, it's easy to get stuck in summer now." Nishida Katsuki said.

"It's just that this area is swampy, so the Soviet army's defense will be looser. After arriving on the other side, there should be no problem returning immediately after picking up people." Chidabei said.

"The tools for crossing the river have been prepared for you. You can float across from Yinlong Island." Nishida Katsuki said.

"Let's go tonight. If you don't come back before the morning of the day after tomorrow, something happened to us. Of course, you are in the Manchukuo army. You'd better cooperate tomorrow night to attract the attention of the Soviet army, so that we can cross the river easily." Qian Tianbei Said.

"No problem, I will order the Manchukuo Army to conduct drills next to the HLJ from tomorrow night, and the gunshots can be heard intermittently until the morning of the day after tomorrow." Nishida Katsuki replied with a nod.

Qian Xiaobao just woke up when Qian Tianbing returned to the house to sleep.

"You can rest until tonight, and then we will set off to cross the river!" Chida Bingwei said.

"Why do these Kwantung Army intelligence officers wear the uniforms of the Manchukuo Army?" Qian Xiaobao asked puzzled.

"The anti-bandit activities in this area are very frequent and active. These members of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army all have advisory positions in the Manchukuo Army at the same time, which makes it easier to mobilize the army at any time." Chidabei explained.

Only then did Qian Xiaobao understand.

After a bumpy night on the road, several people slept until dusk before waking up.

Nishida Katsura brought up the prepared meal, and several people devoured it.

Nishida Masaru asked his subordinates to bring in the prepared tools for getting through HLJ.It turned out to be four large two-meter-long leather pockets made from car inner tubes.

The outside of the leather pockets were purposely painted gray so that they would not be easily seen by Soviet soldiers looking out at night.

"Put clothes, guns and other things in leather pockets and inflate them and you can cross the river," Nishida Katsuki said.

Both sides of the HLJ are eroded by the HLJ and there are swamps and small river forks everywhere. In the Northeast dialect, it is water and urine.

The military truck took them to the HLJ fork, and then to the east is Yinlong Island.

All the people got out of the car, and the four of them took off all their clothes and stuffed them into the big leather pockets. They stuffed all the guns, grenades, binoculars, and military rations into it.

After fastening the leather bag tightly with a leather rope, Nishida Katsuki ordered his men to insert an air cylinder into the air nozzle to inflate.After the four leather bags are pumped up, they look like four big gray cows lying on the ground.

"Go into the water from here. Due to the current, when we drift to the opposite bank, we should be four or five kilometers away from the opposite side. Be careful when fetching water, and don't let the water splash too much. We will gather on the shore and then start separately." Chidahei ordered.

Qian Xiaobao tied himself with the inflated leather bag with a rope, and he walked into the water while holding the leather bag, one foot deep and the other shallow. Then, holding the leather bag with both hands and kicking water with both feet, he slowly left the shore.

"Do you understand?" Chidabei asked Noguchi Hidemichi and Kitasato Saburo.

"I see!" Hidemichi Noguchi and Saburo Kitasato replied.

"Now that we understand, let's set off and see you on the other side!" Chidahei said as he walked into the water the second.

The three fell into the water one after another, treading on the water and swimming to the opposite bank.

In the night, the gray leather bag could not be seen clearly at a distance of 40 meters.

Nishida Katsuki still stood motionless by the river. This time four people crossed the river to carry out the mission. I don't know how many people will come back.It is also possible that no one will come back.

"Sir, they have already swam away, let's go back." A subordinate came over and said.

"Wait another two hours. If you don't hear gunshots, they will have crossed the river smoothly. We will leave at that time." Nishida Sheng replied.

Qian Xiaobao tried his best to turn his head to look behind him, but he couldn't see anything on the gray river surface.

HLJ rolled to the east, even though Qian Xiaobao kept kicking his legs and stepping on the water, he still moved eastward faster than northward.

This section of the river has a width of more than 800 meters. If the Soviet army on the other side finds out, the live targets under the machine guns have no possibility of escape.

At about the same time Savinova and a man in his 50s boarded a train in Birobidzhan.

Birobidzhan is a railway station more than 200 kilometers west of Khabarovsk on the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Savinova and the man got on the train heading south from Birobidzhan, and their destination was Nizhny Spassk, tens of kilometers away.

"Don't be afraid of Mr. Elsie, as long as we get to Lower Sparks, someone will pick us up." Savinova whispered.

"You still call me comrade, I'm used to people calling me comrade." Elsie said.

Savinova glanced inside the carriage, and a man in overalls nodded slightly to her from a distance.

This is the intelligence officer sent by the Far East Intelligence Agency to send the two of them south.

Of course, Elsie, who was encouraged to defect, didn't know this, otherwise he would have collapsed on the ground in fright.

An hour after entering the water, Qian Xiaobao had already floated to the grass on the other side of HLJ with his leather bag in his arms. He was not in a hurry to go ashore, but stopped there quietly with his leather bag in his arms.

Ten minutes later, the surrounding area was still quiet and there was no movement.

Qian Xiaobao opened his mouth and imitated the toad call twice, and came back for a while and imitated the cricket call twice as if whistling.

Just like this, after more than 20 minutes intermittently, another big leather bag slowly moved towards the edge of the grass.

"It's me!" Chidahei said, poking his head out from behind the leather pocket.

The two hid in the grass with their leather bags in their arms. Chida Bingwei imitated the toad, and Qian Xiaobao imitated the cricket.

The two called alternately for nearly half an hour before they brought the other two, Hidemichi Noguchi and Saburo Kitasato, together.

"Go ashore!" Chida Bingwei ordered in a low voice.

The four of them dragged their leather bags and disappeared quietly into the grass.

In the grass, four people huddled head to head.

Chidahei spread a map on the grass, lit a lighter and said, "Did you see that? Not far to the west from here is the mouth of the Krestovaya River. You two are waiting for the people who need to be picked up at the mouth of the river." .Me and Qian Xiaobao are protecting you not far behind you!"
