Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 493 Difficult Moment III
After Qian Xiaobao left, Sha Biao thought of a key question.He asked Er Biantou: "I forgot to ask when Brother Xiaobao was here just now, what is the relationship between the person I am looking for and Brother Xiaobao? Is it an enemy or a friend? Is there a favor or a hatred?"

"Brother, you haven't even figured out such a simple question? A bad gambler and a big smoker, if you have a grudge, why do you look for him? Just let him die in the stinky ditch! It must be someone who used to have a relationship with Qian Xiaobao." Nice guy!" Er Biantou replied.

Sha Biao smiled self-consciously and said, "Your brain is still so fast, why didn't I think of it?"

It was already very late when Qian Xiaobao returned home, and Xiao Linxun hadn't slept yet.

"I may have to go out to perform another mission in a few days, but this time it's safe." Qian Xiaobao said.

"What missions are safe for the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army?" Kobayashi asked.

"The Ministry of Intelligence may send me as a diplomatic courier to and from the Siberian Railway. It is not only safe but also very comfortable!" Qian Xiaobao replied.

"It's that simple? Isn't there a war between the great northern country and Germany? Isn't it dangerous to go to the northern great country now?" Xiao Linxun asked.

"Not dangerous! I am a diplomat with diplomatic immunity!" Qian Xiaobao replied.He didn't want Xiao Linxun to feel a little worried.

Sure enough, three days later, the Ministry of Intelligence issued an order for Qian Xiaobao to act as a diplomatic courier to observe the situation in the northern big country on the way back and forth.

Before leaving, Qian Xiaobao and two other people received training from Ogasawara, which covered various things to observe and precautions on the way.

Although Ogasawara can't do it practically, he can talk about it logically.After a day of training, the three will go to Moscow in batches by train.

The first one to set off was Qian Xiaobao, who boarded the westbound train with Lieutenant Takashima Ken's certificate.

Due to the war, there are very few people taking trains. The trains passing through the railway from Manzhouli to Suifenhe in Northeast China are all freight cars plus passenger cars.

The train that Qian Xiaobao took mainly transported Japanese smoked herring.

Although Japan has already formed an alliance with Germany, according to the neutrality treaty signed between Japan and the northern power, Japan now maintains neutrality between the two countries, and Japan and the northern power still maintain superficial friendship and trade exchanges.

Although only two passenger cars were hung, most of the boxes were still empty.There are more crew members than passengers on the train.

As a diplomatic courier, Qian Xiaobao was taken care of by the flight attendants as soon as he got on the train.But now Japan's diplomatic couriers will not have accidents on the way like they did two or three years ago.Besides, Qian Xiaobao was not afraid of stealing the diplomatic pouch that he only had on his body.

When the train started, Qian Xiaobao began to sleep while lying on the bunk. Now the train was in Manchuria, and he would only start working when he arrived in the northern country.

A beautiful female conductor came in and brought in a pot of coffee once.Qian Xiaobao didn't care at all. When the train arrived in Manzhouli, people from the intelligence department would get on the train to meet him.The Russians will not do anything in Manchukuo.

It is more than 900 kilometers from Harbin to Manzhouli. Qian Xiaobao either ate or slept for [-] hours.

When the train arrived in Manzhouli, a middle-aged man got on the train with a large bag of food and a bucket of water.He put the things in Qian Xiaobao's box, shook hands with Qian Xiaobao, turned around and got off the car.

Qian Xiaobao held a miniature camera not much bigger than a lighter and quickly closed the door.

The train drove into the territory of the big northern country, wild forests and grasslands and sparsely populated towns, everything was the same as what Qian Xiaobao had seen before, without any atmosphere of war.

It's just that Qian Xiaobao saw a large slogan on the Chita Railway Station - the eradication of the Germans is only the mother's request, and this is the child's expectation!

When the train arrived in Ulan-Ude, everything was still as usual, but Qian Xiaobao suddenly heard a bell when the train was about to leave the station.The sound is very familiar, it is the church bell.

Qian Xiaobao immediately took out his notebook and recorded the situation.He had never heard the church bells while he was a diplomatic courier.The great northern country has closed all churches since the Red Revolution, but now the church bells are ringing again.

When the train rounded Lake Baikal and arrived in Irkutsk, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

As soon as the train stopped on the platform, two tall Russians stood in front of the window.

Qian Xiaobao stood up and looked out from the unobstructed corner of the car window. There were four or five people wearing workers' overalls but carrying rifles standing on the platform of the station.

It looked like they were working as guards at the station.

Qian Xiaobao quickly lay down on the bunk, pretending not to care about what happened outside.

Ten minutes later, when the train slowly left the platform, Qian Xiaobao jumped up and pressed the shutter with a miniature camera.

It seems that workers in the big northern country have been armed. There can only be one reason, and that is that the army here has been transferred away.

It was already late at night when the train drove into Taishet, but just as Qian Xiaobao lay on the window and saw a train on the nearby tracks, two people blocked the window tightly.

Qian Xiaobao vaguely heard the cry of the cow.First there was a cry, and then a group of cows followed suit.

Just as Qian Xiaobao wrote in his notebook that there were trucks transporting cattle to support the battlefield, the train on the opposite side started with the sound of its whistle, and Qian Xiaobao put down the pen in his hand.

The train was clearly heading east, which meant that the cattle trains were not bound for the front.

Qian Xiaobao crossed out the words he had already written and re-recorded them.

On the way, Qian Xiaobao recorded the people of the big northern country who moved eastward on flatbed trucks and the machinery and equipment filled in the carriages, and also recorded the tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers who boarded the train from Novosibirsk Railway Station.

Originally, the journey could be completed in a week, but Qian Xiaobao has not arrived in Moscow after walking for nearly half a month.

When the train pulled into the Chelyabinsk railway station, two more state security personnel blocked the window, but the two of them were quickly pushed aside by four or five soldiers.

The soldiers put their faces close to the windows and looked in.

Qian Xiaobao looked past these people to the platform, which was full of Red Army soldiers.

"There is only one person in such a comfortable car!" shouted a soldier lying on the window.

Qian Xiaobao waved to a few of them and then patted on the bunks, saying that they are welcome to come in and sit down.

"Whistle!"

The four or five soldiers turned around and ran towards the car door.More than 1000 soldiers on the platform also rushed towards the train.

When Qian Xiaobao opened the door of the box, he heard a woman's exclamation from the car door, and then a group of soldiers rushed into the car.

Qian Xiaobao poked his head out from inside and shouted loudly: "Dawalixi, the waterfall falls into the bazaar pottery!"
