Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 504 The Coldest Winter II
When the weather is cold, the windows freeze.In this case, Qian Xiaobao still has something to do in the carriage.

But what about freezing outside the window?
Qian Xiaobao could barely see the shaking figures outside through the car window, and he couldn't even tell whether they were male or female.

Qian Xiaobao pressed his hand on the car window for a long time before taking it off, but the ice formed outside the car window did not melt at all.

The train started again, and Qian Xiaobao sat helplessly in the box.

There was a knock on the door of the box, and a beautiful female conductor walked in with a tea tray.

Her eyes inadvertently glanced at the car window with a smile on her face.

The female conductor put a pot of hot tea on the small table and was ready to go out.

"What's served in the dining car now?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"Bread and soup," replied the conductor, and she walked out.

Qian Xiaobao looked at his watch and was going to go to the dining car to try his luck during the meal and get some things for business when he arrived in Moscow.

At this time, the trains on the Siberian Railway are heated, but this train is indeed very cold, and the heating is also cold.

Qian Xiaobao suspected that in order to prevent the heating from freezing and cracking, there was no water in it at all.

He put his coat on and poured the hot tea he had just delivered into the cup and drank it in big gulps, then lay down on the soft bed and covered him with a quilt.

Qian Xiaobao looked at the white steam coming out of his mouth and thought about countermeasures.

In the evening, Qian Xiaobao rushed to the dining car for dinner.

There was only black bread and potato and kohlrabi soup in the dining car.

In the past, the food supply of this international train across Manchukuo was abundant, because this is the face and image of the great northern country.White bread with nuts and a variety of Russian dishes are available.

But now, the big northern country doesn't care about these things at all.It is also conceivable that there has been a severe food shortage in the great northern countries.

When Qian Xiaobao appeared in the dining car, the dining car suddenly became quiet.Everyone looked up at him, because he was the only foreigner on this train, and almost all the rest were soldiers who got on the train in Chita and Ulan-Ude.

There was no need for Qian Xiaobao to order food at all, the conductor directly put three slices of black bread and a bowl of soup in front of Qian Xiaobao.

Qian Xiaobao picked up the black bread and bit it, but he couldn't bite. He held the black bread in his hand, but he couldn't tear off a piece of the black bread with his mouth.

Unexpectedly, this piece of black bread was still hard after being covered with dry bread, like a belt that couldn't be chewed.

Qian Xiaobao's embarrassed appearance was seen by many people in the dining car, and a burst of laughter broke out immediately.

Qian Xiaobao looked up at other people's plates. These people cut the bread into small pieces with a knife and soaked it in the soup to soften it before putting it in their mouths.

Qian Xiaobao could only finish the three slices of black bread with a lot of effort.

He looked at a lieutenant officer sitting across from him and asked in Russian, "Do soldiers eat this kind of food on the battlefield?"

Before the officer answered, the female conductor who had been in charge of monitoring Qian Xiaobao quickly walked from behind Qian Xiaobao to the officer.

She put her body between Qian Xiaobao and the officer and said to the officer in a low voice: "Be careful, Comrade Lieutenant, he is a Japanese spy!"

The officer closed his mouth for an instant and suppressed the smile on his face.

Qian Xiaobao saw that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, so he stood up and turned back to the box.

When the train stopped at the Baikal Railway Station, the stop time was exceeded and the train still did not start.

Qian Xiaobao quietly got up and took out his lighter and lit the upper corner near the car window.

This lighter of his is well-made and can be placed under the helmet to boil water. After a while, the upper corner of the train window slowly melts and becomes transparent.

Qian Xiaobao put his head on the car window and vaguely saw nothing on the train station platform.

This situation is either that the train has a mechanical failure or there is an emergency train to overtake and miss the train here.

Sure enough, 10 minutes later, a train roared past Baikal Railway Station.Qian Xiaobao's eyes looked out from a corner of the car window. All the carriages were flatbed trucks, and there were more than a dozen trucks stacked upright on each flatbed truck.

It appears that the train was carrying military trucks.

Qian Xiaobao had undergone special training from Yamamoto Heisaku. He only needed to take a look at the Soviet artillery, tanks, airplanes and trucks to know the specific models immediately.

But these military trucks in front of him were something he had never seen in the photos.

However, there are no automobile factories within the territory of the big country in the northeast of Baikal, which means that these trucks are not newly designed and manufactured by the big northern country.

So where did these trucks come from?

The train passed by, and Qian Xiaobao sat down slowly.

In the following time, the train stopped and went, and it took more than ten days to reach Novosibirsk.Here the train hangs a few more train carriages and starts again.

Another day, the train stopped at Chelyabinsk railway station at night.

Qian Xiaobao climbed on the small transparent area on the upper corner of the car window and looked out. Heavy snow fell from the sky on the dim platform. Thousands of soldiers and dozens of officers were crowded on the platform of the train station. Newspapers are being distributed to these soldiers. As soon as these soldiers get the newspapers, they can't wait to take off their boots and stuff the newspapers inside.

It appears that the soldiers stuffed newspapers into their boots to keep warm.

"Have anyone received antifreeze gun oil yet?" an officer shouted at the top of his voice.

There was silence at the station, and everyone seemed to have received antifreeze gun oil.

Footsteps sounded in the carriage corridor, Qian Xiaobao hurriedly lay down and pretended to be asleep.

The doors of the train compartments have been specially modified, and even if they are locked from the inside, they can still be opened with a key from the outside.

When the train arrived at Kirov, Qian Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief.This place is not far from Moscow. According to reliable information, many government agencies of the northern powers have moved here.It seems that this time, Qian Xiaobao will not be unable to enter Moscow because the German army is approaching Moscow.

And the Kirov railway station was crowded with more soldiers.

Qian Xiaobao looked out from a corner of the car window, it was so dark that he couldn't tell the number.

From time to time in the corridor of the carriage, the sound of leather boots walking could be heard.

At noon, when Qian Xiaobao rushed to the dining car to eat, the dining car was full of people eating.Look at the military ranks from Lieutenant Colonel Major down to Lieutenant Second Lieutenant.

The female conductor shrugged to Qian Xiaobao and said that she had eaten all of them, and there was nothing left.

Qian Xiaobao had no choice but to turn around and go back.

Ten hours later, the train finally arrived at Moscow Railway Station.Okuno, the third secretary of the Japanese embassy, ​​rushed to the train station to pick up Qian Xiaobao.

When Qian Xiaobao got off the train, he saw densely packed soldiers rushing towards the exit.

Seeing Qian Xiaobao's surprised gaze, Okuno explained in a low voice: "Tomorrow will be November [-]th, and these soldiers will go straight to the front line after being inspected in Red Square!"
