Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 599 News from the Pacific Ocean I
Qian Xiaobao took a truck and led two action team members to Majiagou Airport. They were going to the airport for aviation film.

Lieutenant Maeda of the Kwantung Army's aerial photography team received them.

Although Qian Xiaobao was saluting Lieutenant Qian Tian, ​​his eyes turned to the direction of the airport.

In addition to the reconnaissance planes of the aerial photography team of the Kwantung Army, dozens of [-] heavy bombers were parked on the airport.

Qian Xiaobao has been to Majiagou Airport many times, but he has never seen so many bombers here.

"Some films are in my office, and there are a few rolls of film on the plane. Come with me first, take out the film on the plane, and then go to the office to get the rest of the film." Lieutenant Maeda said.Then he took Qian Xiaobao and walked towards the reconnaissance plane.

Two people boarded the reconnaissance plane of the [-] Headquarters. Lieutenant Maeda took out two large film boxes from the spare box. Since each roll of this aviation film is [-] meters long, the film boxes are also very large.

Then Lieutenant Maeda leaned over the Type [-] movable photo gun and took out the film inside.

The [-]-style mobile photo gun is a kind of aerial camera. It is the first time Qian Xiaobao has seen this kind of camera that looks like a machine gun.

However, while Lieutenant Maeda was taking the film, Qian Xiaobao looked at the [-] heavy bombers lined up on the tarmac from above the reconnaissance plane. Now that he was standing high, he could see more clearly, and felt that there were at least forty or fifty bombers.

"Where did so many bombers come from?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

Lieutenant Maeda put the film into the box and answered: "It is the heavy bombing team No. 60 and No. 70. They are transferring here, and they will be transferred to Malaya soon."

Lieutenant Maeda handed the film box to Qian Xiaobao and said: "Our aerial photography team has been cooperating with the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army for several years, but we will leave next month."

"Where are you going?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"Our entire photography team will be transferred to New Guinea next month," Lieutenant Maeda replied.

"Isn't the navy in the Pacific having the final say? Why does the navy have so many reconnaissance planes to send you to?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"Those navy red deer who like to brag must be unable to withstand the offensive of the ghosts and animals of the United States, so they drag our army to take the place of the dead!" Lieutenant Maeda said angrily.

More than half a year has passed since the Battle of Midway Island, and some bad news has slowly been revealed.

Everyone began to feel in their hearts that the war in the Pacific was not winning steadily as advertised.So the troops being transferred to the south are not as excited as they were at the beginning.

The two got off the reconnaissance plane, and Qian Xiaobao followed Lieutenant Maeda to the office to get the remaining film, then saluted and bid farewell to Lieutenant Maeda, who had a gloomy face, and returned to the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army.

The Japanese army paid special attention to aerial reconnaissance. The films Qian Xiaobao brought back this time were all the military fortifications on the border of the northern powers taken by reconnaissance planes on the border.

After Qian Xiaobao handed in the film, he walked in the corridor of the intelligence department, and a captain officer with a dark complexion and a thin face walked towards him.

When the two saw each other, they both slowed down by coincidence, and the more Qian Xiaobao looked at him, the more he felt that the person in front of him looked very familiar.

"Qian Xiaobao, you have finally been promoted to second lieutenant." The officer opposite finally said.

"Chida Bingwei! Why are you back?" Qian Xiaobao asked in surprise.

Nearly a year ago, Chidabei and several other intelligence officers were transferred to the Pacific Ocean. Before leaving, Chidabei also came to Qian Xiaobao and asked him to apply to go with him.

But in less than a year, Qian Xiaobao saw Qian Tianhewei again in the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army.It's just that the current Chidabei's face is as black as the bottom of a pot, his eye sockets and cheeks are sunken, and his thin body can be blown down by a gust of wind, just like a hungry ghost who just got out of hell.

"I was sent here to perform an emergency mission just after I was evacuated from Guadalcanal," Chida Bingwei explained.

"Since you're back, let's have a meal together! Come with me now." Qian Xiaobao warmly invited.

Chidahei's face twitched twice, and immediately tried his best to hide his emotions.When he returned to the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army, where he stayed less than a year ago, the others just nodded politely to him, only Qian Xiaobao was so enthusiastic after seeing him.

"I still have something to see Director Yanagida, please wait for me outside for a while, I also have something to tell you." Qian Tianhei said.

Qian Xiaobao nodded and stood in the corridor watching Chidahei walk into Yanagida Genzo's office at the end of the corridor.

Ten minutes later, Chidahei walked out of Yanagida Genzo's office.

"Are you done?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

Chidabei nodded.

"Come on, I'll take you to a riverside restaurant for a big meal!" Qian Xiaobao said.

Beetroot soup, grilled meat pie, pelmeni and vodka, Qian Xiaobao ordered a table of hard Russian dishes for Chidahei after he walked into the riverside restaurant.

Chidahei looked at the frozen Songhua River and the white snow outside the window without saying a word.Chidahei left Harbin happily. At that time, he thought that he could finally leave here and go to a picturesque island in the Pacific Ocean to make contributions, but who would have thought that it would be a nightmare!
Qian Xiaobao poured Chida Bingwei a glass of wine and said, "I never thought that we would meet again! Cheers!"

"cheers!"

Chidahei raised his wine glass and took a long gulp.

Chidahei coughed violently due to drinking too much, but he enjoyed this feeling very much now.

"Are you transferred back to the Kwantung Army or are you going back after completing the mission?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"I am currently in charge of intelligence work in the No.17 Army. In order to strengthen the intelligence search of the Seventeenth Army, the Kwantung Army Air Intelligence No.15 Wing will soon be transferred to Rabaul. I am here this time to be in charge of contact. Immediately I will Go to Rabaul with the No.15 Regiment." Chida Bingwei explained.

"There were several people who left the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army with you, and I don't know what happened to them now." Qian Xiaobao said.

Chidahei suddenly lowered his head and said in an inaudible voice, "They are all dead, they are all dead!"

Although Qian Xiaobao knew the people who went to the Pacific Ocean with Senda Bingwei, he was not familiar with them. The only thing he cared about was Ogasawara, who was first kicked to the Pacific Ocean by the Minister of Intelligence.

"Have you seen Ogasawara? How is he doing now?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"He died too. He was the first to land on Guadalcanal with the Yimu detachment. I was almost always together after I went to the island with the headquarters. At that time, he always told me about you. He said: If Qian Xiaobao is here You must be able to take me out of this ghost place!" Chida Bingwei said.

"I was one of the first to evacuate from Guadalcanal. It is said that Ogasawara should also evacuate with us, but the officer let him stay until the end. The last time I saw him was sitting against a tree, unable to speak, only his eyes It can still turn." Chidabei continued.
