Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 521 Rzhev's Othello V
"We must find this person!"

When Qian Xiaobao heard Schultz say that the intelligence sent to the German army was sent from the German Consulate in Harbin, he thought of the day when he and Ogasawara were having dinner at the riverside restaurant and met Chief Ono Taihiro of the Intelligence Department.

And Ogasawara said that the person who just walked into the restaurant by the river was Schuster, the military attache of the German consulate.

Heizaku Yamamoto always warned Qian Xiaobao not to believe in coincidences, so it is very likely that Ono Tahiro went to meet Schuster.

Although Poland and the three Baltic countries have disappeared, the Japanese have established an intelligence network in Eastern Europe with the help of intelligence personnel from these countries.The leader of this intelligence network was Nobuo Onodera, the military attache of the Japanese embassy in Sweden who had brought Qian Xiaobao to the Madier Hotel by Heisaku Yamamoto.

But Qian Xiaobao didn't say what was on his mind.Everything right now is speculation.

He didn't want Schultz to have unrealistic fantasies about him.

Even if it is confirmed, it is very difficult to do.As the recipient of the intelligence, Schuster should not know the source of the intelligence.Ono Dakuan gave him a piece of pork, how could Schuster know who killed the pig?
Ono Dakuan may know the source of the information, but Qian Xiaobao has no way to do it.You can't rush into Ono Tahiro's office to torture him.

Looking at Schultz's expression, Qian Xiaobao knew that his superior must have put a lot of pressure on him.

"Find him at all costs!" Schultz repeated.

At all costs can only mean that as long as that person can be found, the Pavlov intelligence team will be destroyed.

"I can only say my best. An information chain must be very long, with many links in between. It's like asking a bread seller who grows the wheat for grinding flour. I have to take my time." Qian Xiaobao replied road.

"I have thought of what you said, and I agree with it. But every day, tens of thousands or even more Red Army soldiers may lose their lives or be captured because of the information provided by this hateful latent enemy." Schultz said .

"Okay, I will definitely try to find this person." Qian Xiaobao replied.But in fact, he still didn't say it to death.

"I'm sorry, I can only rely on you now." Schultz said.

Of course Schultz knew that this matter should not be urgent, but from the tone of his superior in the telegram, Schultz felt that this matter was extremely urgent.

When they broke up, Schultz took the initiative to shake hands with Qian Xiaobao tightly. Qian Xiaobao is not quite used to this communication method now, so Schultz seldom did this in the past.

Qian Xiaobao also felt the pressure from Schultz's abnormal behavior.

It is not an exaggeration for Schultz to tell Qian Xiaobao that tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers may fall every day.

Major Soschak, who is in charge of logistics, is now looking at the report he just received in the headquarters of the Kalinin Front Army.

The battle lasted for more than a month, and the Kalinin Front Army suffered more than 6 casualties.There were millions of people from the four front armies participating in this battle, and the total number of casualties must have been staggering.

Fortunately, supplementary soldiers are arriving continuously, and Soschak can see this from various material application forms.

He also analyzed the specific analysis of the Red Army's next offensive and the approximate number of soldiers, and even the number of various tanks and artillery from the quantity and direction of oil distribution issued by the superior, the distribution of various ammunition and food vodka .

Soschak sent it to the letter agency in Sweden based on the intelligence he analyzed from various logistic reports.

Soschak felt that the intelligence he had sent had played a role. The Germans were at an absolute disadvantage, but the German defense was orderly.Reinforced German troops always appeared just right on the breach created by the Red Army's attack.

Moreover, the two battle groups of the German army also attacked the flanks of the Red Army troops from time to time.

More than a month has passed, and the Germans are still sticking to the Rzhev salient, which is less than [-] kilometers away from Moscow.

Soschak couldn't help shivering when he stepped out of the tent, it was too cold outside.

After the roar of the plane, leaflets floated down from the sky one after another.This is a letter of persuasion from the German army, and a pass is printed on it.

Notably fewer soldiers defected since the repulsion of German troops near Moscow.

Soschak seldom heard the propaganda broadcasts of the German army in the rear. The soldiers on the front line could hear the defected soldiers eating sausage bread and broadcasting to the loudspeaker every day.

He stamped the leaflet under his feet and went to Pokulski.

I haven't seen Pokulski promoted from second lieutenant to lieutenant for a few days. The only advantage of war is that people who don't die are promoted much faster than in peacetime.

Pokulski ran a report squad in headquarters logistics.He used this opportunity to secretly send a report to the Swedish letter agency.

Walking into the tent of the telegraph team, Soschak took out a piece of bacon from his coat and said, "Girls, I've brought you some snacks."

Several girls from the telegraph class were warming up around the heater that was converted from a gasoline drum, and the other girls were sitting in front of the transceiver with earphones on.

"You are too generous, Comrade Major," said Pokulski.He took the bacon and cut it into small pieces for each girl.

In this case, a piece of cured meat is more attractive to these girls than perfume.

In fact, when Pokulski picked up the bacon just now, he also held a small note in his hand.

"Only by letting the girls eat better can they fight the German gangs better!" Soschak said.

Three nights later.Schuster, the military attache of the German Consulate in Harbin, went out again.

He came to the riverside restaurant again in the car in the consulate.Half an hour later, Schuster, who had had a hasty meal, walked out of the restaurant and left in a car.

Qian Xiaobao hid in the grass by the river and held up his binoculars without moving.After more than ten minutes, a short man walked out of the restaurant, a car quickly came and stopped at the door of the restaurant, the short man got in the car and left quickly.

Qian Xiaobao didn't put down the binoculars until then.Just now, under the light at the entrance of the restaurant, he clearly saw that the person was Tahiro Ono.

Takahiro Ono also appeared in this restaurant secretly opened by the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army both times when Schuster appeared.

This is definitely not a coincidence.

It seems that the information sent by the German Consulate was provided by the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army.

What Qian Xiaobao has to do now is to find out the source of the intelligence from the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army.

This matter is very difficult for Qian Xiaobao, the special agent Cao Zhang, because his rank is too low.
