Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 505 The Coldest Winter Part Three
When the two walked out of the train station, Qian Xiaobao was stunned. The car driven by Okuno was actually white.

Qian Xiaobao remembered very clearly that when Okuno picked him up more than a month ago, he drove a black car of the same model.

It is so strange that it has turned into white now.

"No way, most of the cars in Moscow are painted white to prevent them from being bombed by planes," Okuno explained.

Qian Xiaobao raised his eyes, and everywhere he looked was a vast expanse of whiteness.Moscow in early November has been completely covered with snow.

Those who can sit in a car in Moscow must be more important people.If the German plane looked down from above, it would not miss this opportunity.

As the car was driving on the road, Qian Xiaobao noticed that the snow that had been cleared to both sides of the road was two or three feet high.

A group of people carrying shovels and pickaxes passed by, including women, elderly people and children around ten years old.

"The fortifications have been dug a hundred kilometers away from Moscow, and now they are also being dug in Moscow, and they are already preparing for street fighting. If these fortifications are connected, they will definitely extend to Manchukuo. At that time, the German army Rushing into Moscow, Moscow must be a piece of scorched earth." Okuno said calmly.

"Is there no evacuation plan for the Japanese embassy?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"The embassies and consulates of most countries in Moscow have moved to Kirov, but the Japanese mainland sent us an order to stick to it!" Okuno replied.

Cars are checked at almost every intersection, even with diplomatic license plates on them.

At this time, Qian Xiaobao carefully observed the clothes, hats and boots of these soldiers. These soldiers were so cold that their eyelashes were covered with frost.

Whenever the inspection is over, Okuno quickly rolls up the window.

"It's really too cold. Japan is very cold in winter, and Manchukuo is even colder, but here is the coldest place!" Okuno complained.

"Is there coal for heating in the embassy?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"Coal? The Donbass is in the hands of the Germans! Now all traffic is serving the war. Even if there is coal, there is no way to transport it to Moscow. Unless the Germans use planes to load coal and drop it to the Japanese embassy!" Okuno replied.

Qian Xiaobao is not in the mood to stay in Moscow at all. What he thinks about now is to report the situation immediately and then leave Moscow by train.

The car drives into the Japanese embassy.Qian Xiaobao went to Yamaoka Michitake's office to report what he observed along the way without stopping.

"The Russians stared at me so hard that they couldn't observe anything at all." Qian Xiaobao said.

Then he talked about seeing soldiers from the northern powers stuffing newspapers into their boots in Chelyabinsk and discovering a train of trucks of unknown type.

"The northern big country is also very short of logistics supplies. It is very common for soldiers to not have cotton boots to replace. However, the Russians must have more experience in fighting in cold conditions than the Germans. I am afraid that the Germans are not even prepared to stuff newspapers into their boots." ’” Michitake Yamaoka said.

"Now I'm like a blind man in the Japanese embassy. I can't do anything except listen to the radio and read newspapers, but it's not easy to get information. Take a day off and go back tomorrow night!" Yamaoka Michitake continued.

"Hi!" Qian Xiaobao stood at attention and saluted.

Okuno took Qian Xiaobao to dinner.Along the way, Qian Xiaobao ate black bread and potato cabbage soup in the dining car that he couldn't chew at all. This time he entered the Japanese embassy and finally changed to a new trick.

In front of Qian Xiaobao were three boiled potatoes and a small dish of fine salt.

"This is already very good, much better than the citizens of Moscow who only have [-] grams of food a day." Okuno said with self-deprecation.

After Qian Xiaobao finished eating the potatoes sticky with salt, he went to sleep in the room where he was arranged to rest.

The room was as cold as an ice cellar, and the four walls shone with silver light.It was the reflection of the ice crystals formed by the condensation of water vapor on the wall.

After closing the door, Qian Xiaobao took out the bag of fried soybeans with salt water and ate two handfuls, then tied the bag to his belt.

Don't let other people find this kind of good stuff.He wants to take it with him to eat on the way back to Manchukuo.

Wearing a cotton coat and hat and covering his body with a quilt, Qian Xiaobao said to himself, "One more night of inspection, and I can go home tomorrow."

The next morning was still boiled potatoes sticky with salt.This is the only thing that the northern powers can supply to the Japanese embassy.

Dozens of people in the embassy listened to the radio in several rooms after breakfast.Today is the day of the military parade on the Red Square. With the soldiers approaching the city, the northern powers removed the camouflage near the Red Square. The leaders still inspected the troops on the Red Square, and then the troops went directly to the front line [-] kilometers away.

The radio was accompanied by deafening bursts of "Hurrah" and the sound of marching music.

After a long period of cheers, the leaders of the northern powers began to speak.

Including Qian Xiaobao, more than a dozen intelligence workers in the Japanese consulate gathered in Michitake Yamaoka's office to listen.

"Red Army and Red Navy fighters, commanders and political workers, workers and women, kolkhoz men and women, intellectual workers, brothers and sisters in the enemy's rear, temporarily trapped under the yoke of robbers! Glorious guerrilla men and women in Kou's rear!
On behalf of the Soviet government and our Bolshevik party, I salute you and celebrate the 24th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution! "

.........

"Is there any doubt that we can and will defeat the German invaders?
The enemy is not as strong as some panic-stricken intellectuals make it out to be. ..."

"Hunger and poverty reign over Germany, Germany has lost 450 million soldiers in four months of war, Germany is bleeding out, her manpower reserves are exhausting, . . . There is no doubt that Germany can never sustain this Tensions. In a few months, in six months, maybe a year, Germany will certainly be crumbling under the weight of its sins."

"Fight to completely crush the Germans!
Destroy the Germans!
Long live our glorious Fatherland! Long live the freedom and independence of our Fatherland!"

There was silence in the room, only the rustling of the clerk's pen could be heard.

"In any case, this country and nation are our respectable opponents!" Yamaoka Dotake finally said.

Qian Xiaobao stayed there until the afternoon when Ao Ye drove him to a place not far from the gate of Moscow Railway Station.

But tens of thousands of ordinary citizens were crowded in front of the train station, and they all carried big and small bags.It is already difficult for the car to move here.

The two got out of the car and squeezed to the entrance of the train station, where dozens of soldiers with live ammunition stood there to maintain order.

After seeing Qian Xiaobao's Takashima diplomatic passport, a military officer said: "From now on, all trains will only transport evacuated Moscow citizens. You cannot board the train now!"
