Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 507 The Coldest Winter Five
Since the German army occupied Khimki, which is only 24 kilometers away from Moscow, faint explosions can be heard [-] hours a day.

You can also hear the sound of trucks and tanks driving outside Moscow every day.

The soldiers and weapons and equipment from the northern powers continued to fill the bottomless pit dug by the German army without hesitation.

Either the abyss was filled or the Germans swallowed everything in the northern powers into the abyss.

Qian Xiaobao shoveled snow in the yard of the Japanese embassy with a shovel, but he could only shovel a small path. The snow piled on both sides of the path was more than one meter high.

He squatted on the ground to see if there was no one left or right, and took out the pocket that Kobayashi Xun sewed with a towel from his waist, and poured out the last small handful of fried soybeans from it.

Qian Xiaobao had been trapped in the Japanese embassy for ten days. Thanks to the fried soybeans at the bottom, he didn't let his hungry chest stick to his back.

Before Qian Xiaobao ate, he heard the creaking sound of his feet stepping on the snow.He hurriedly stuffed the soybeans into his pocket.

Just as Qian Xiaobao stood up, secretary Okuno appeared in front of him.

"Chief Yamaoka told you to go to his office immediately," Okuno said.

Qian Xiaobao stuck the shovel into the snowdrift, then walked quickly into the small embassy building to Yamaoka Michitake's office.

"The people in the embassy have been held here for more than ten days. A lot of information cannot be transmitted by telegram. So we need someone to bring the information back." Yamaoka Michitake said.

Qian Xiaobao was very happy when he heard Michitake Yamaoka say that.Since it was Yamaoka Michitake who told him these words, he should be the one who sent back.

In fact, on the fifth day after Qian Xiaobao was held in the Japanese embassy, ​​another diplomatic messenger arrived here.There are now two diplomatic couriers including Qian Xiaobao in the Japanese embassy.

Sure enough, Yamaoka Michitake continued: "After discussing with Ambassador Tsugawa, I decided to send you to bring the important documents back. We think you are more experienced and adaptable."

Qian Xiaobao immediately puffed up his chest and saluted loudly, "Hi! Resolutely complete the task!"

"Now the relocation work in Moscow is almost done. After several communications with the Japanese embassy, ​​they finally allowed our people to board the train. Let Okuno take you to the train station this afternoon." Yamaoka Michitake continued.

Qian Xiaobao went out to make preparations.In fact, there is no preparation at all, and everything is on him now.

Because it was too cold, he had not taken off his cotton coat or boots for more than ten days.

If you want to leave, you can set off right away with the diplomatic pouch.

In the afternoon, Okuno and Qian Xiaobao went to Moscow Railway Station on foot.The reason why I didn’t drive was to save fuel, and the other reason was that if I wanted to drive, I had to bake the car. There was not enough wood for heating in the embassy, ​​and it was impossible to light the car and bake it.

On the way to the train station, Qian Xiaobao and Okuno showed their documents more than a dozen times.After a large number of people were evacuated, under such airtight security guards, the enemy's intelligence personnel had no way to hide and carry out their work.

Qian Xiaobao still saw troops marching from east to west or south.

The great northern countries seem to have inexhaustible human resources.

From time to time, large white snow packs appeared on both sides of the road, which was probably a bunker.

"What do you think?" Qian Xiaobao asked in a low voice.

As a secretary, Okuno knew more secrets than Qian Xiaobao.The relationship between him and Qian Xiaobao has become much closer these days, and they can talk without reservation.

"According to the information received, the attack speed of the German army is getting slower and slower. Chief Yamaoka said that it would be hard to say if the blitzkrieg turned into a war of attrition." Okuno replied in a low voice.

Although the snow on the road was often cleared, the two of them were still trudging through the snow that was more than a foot deep due to the continuous snowfall.

Qian Xiaobao felt that his feet had been frozen and numb like two big lumps of ice.

"Even God is not on the side of the Germans." Qian Xiaobao said.

When the two rushed to the train station, soldiers kept pouring out from the station entrance, but very few people entered the train station.

For two months, all the people who should have been evacuated have been evacuated.Only the troops mobilized from the eastern part of the great northern country came continuously.

The two showed their IDs at the train station entrance and went straight to the platform.

Qian Xiaobao seemed to have empty hands, but actually stuffed a small diplomatic pouch into his coat.

The train going east in the near future is all freight cars except for the two passenger cars, and the few flatbed cars hanging in the middle are all empty.

"I suspect that these trucks are all empty. Now that supplies and troops are being transported westward uninterruptedly, a large number of empty carriages are piled up here. Now they should rush to pull back the empty carriages. If there are no carriages, there is no way to transport them. You have to pay attention to this on the road." Okuno instructed.

Qian Xiaobao nodded.

The two got into the car, and the car was quiet.It seemed that no one else got on this train except Qian Xiaobao.

After entering the box, Okuno shook hands with Qian Xiaobao and then saluted, "Be careful all the way, have a good trip! It's a pleasure to meet you at this time."

Sure enough, as Okuno said, the train was running fast, except for the necessary refilling of water and fuel, and it was flying eastward all the way.

Qian Xiaobao found that every time the train stopped at a railway station, many people rushed towards the train with photos in their hands.They kept searching through the car window, and when they saw Qian Xiaobao sitting inside, they pointed to the person in the photo and shouted loudly, have you seen him?Do you know him?and so on.

The people in the photos are male and female, old and young.

At this time, all Qian Xiaobao could do was shake his head non-stop.

Those who were sought may have gone to the battlefield, they may have been evacuated elsewhere, or they may have remained in German-occupied areas.

There has never been any real friendship between nations.

At that time, the tsar built the Middle East Railway across Northeast China to shorten the transportation distance of more than 2000 kilometers.

Japan is now an ally of Germany, but at this time it still allows the northern powers to transport urgently needed strategic materials on the front line through this railway.

The train Qian Xiaobao took entered Manchuria and arrived in Manzhouli six days later, and arrived in Harbin more than ten hours later.

When Qian Xiaobao got off the train, he found that Yamamoto Heisaku was looking at him with a smile not far away.

Qian Xiaobao walked up to Hirasaku Yamamoto and asked, "Teacher Yamamoto, why did you come to pick me up?"

Before Taira Yamamoto could reply, a group of soldiers walked by on the platform.

The leading soldier wearing the rank of lieutenant general is tall and fat, compared with the soldiers behind him, it is like a camel leading a flock of sheep.

Yamamoto Heisaku and Qian Xiaobao also hurriedly stood at attention and saluted.

The lieutenant general glanced over and finally settled on Yamamoto Heisaku.Apparently he recognized Yamamoto Heisaku.

Yamamoto Heisaku once again stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, Commander Yamashita!"
