Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 666 The Boiling Night Part One
Qian Xiaobao took a transport plane to Tokyo. The plane stopped at Dalian Kantung State Airport, then took off and flew directly to Tokyo.

The person who came to the airport to greet him was Captain Watanabe Qian of the Noborito Research Institute. He was the one who transported the counterfeit 2000 two million French currency notes from Tokyo to Shanghai.

"You came at the right time. Tomorrow March [-]th is Soldiers' Day. Let's leave after the Soldiers' Day." Captain Watanabe Qian said with a smile.

Now is a time of war, and Japan's Soldiers' Day is very grand.

Watanabe Qian personally drove a jeep to pull Qian Xiaobao out of the airport.On both sides of the road, one or two traces that have just been bombed can be seen occasionally.But the pedestrians coming and going on the side of the road passed by without seeing it, as if they didn't see it.

It seems that the Japanese in Tokyo are used to living under the bombing of American planes, and they are not afraid.

"Aren't the aircraft bombings in the United States serious now?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"What is the bombing of ghosts and animals in the United States? The citizens of our Great Japanese Empire are fearless!" Watanabe Qian replied disapprovingly.

"It would be nice if you came a little later, the cherry blossoms are about to bloom." Watanabe Qian said regretfully.

Qian Xiaobao looked to both sides of the road and saw that the cherry trees were full of budding flowers.

The jeep stopped in front of a residence with the wooden signboard of Shimizu Ryo in Kuramae, Taito District.

"Is this Kanagawa?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

Although he has never been to the Tokito Research Institute, he knows that the Noborito Research Institute is in Kanagawa.

"No, those counterfeit banknotes will arrive tomorrow. I'll arrange for you to live in Shitamachi. Today I can accompany you out to see the scenery of Tokyo." Qian Watanabe said courteously.

Lieutenant General Akio Doi, who was transferred from the position of the chief of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army to the chief of staff of the No. 13 Army, appointed Qian Xiaobao to handle the counterfeit banknotes, which shows the importance he attaches to him.

Watanabe Qian wanted to use this opportunity to bring Qian Xiaobao to play in Tokyo to get closer.

The room in Shimizu Liao is very simple, with nothing but tatami mats.The completely wooden frame house is simple and empty, clean and crisp.

"Come with me." Watanabe Qian said to Qian Xiaobao.

He took Qian Xiaobao to the small courtyard at the back of the house, pointed to something like a cement manhole cover on the ground and said, "This is the emergency shelter, if you hear the alarm, hide inside immediately!"

Watanabe bent down and pulled open the cover of the shelter, only then did Qian Xiaobao realize that the cover was made of cement on the top and cast iron on the bottom, which looked very solid.

Under the cover is a dark staircase extending diagonally downward.

"I want to go down and have a look." Qian Xiaobao said.

Watanabe nodded, Qian Xiaobao bent down and walked down the stairs, and walked to a depth of eight or nine meters underground. The stairs were gone, and Qian Xiaobao walked forward for more than ten meters, and a cave of more than ten square meters appeared inside.

With the dim light at the entrance of the cave, Qian Xiaobao saw that there were two rows of chairs facing each other in the cave, and there were ten poison masks and several oxygen masks hanging on the wall.

Watanabe Qian, who followed in, explained: "If the bomb falls right at the entrance and blocks people inside, you can use the oxygen mask to hold on for a while, and people outside can come to rescue us."

Qian Xiaobao also felt that the Japanese had a strong sense of danger and were well prepared.

When the two returned to the ground, Watanabe Qian said, "I'll take you outside in a car."

"Is there any interesting place nearby?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

Watanabe thought for a while and replied: "This is very close to Sensoji Temple, where Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined, don't you also worship Guanyin Bodhisattva? Why don't we go there and have a look, I heard that the lottery there is very spiritual!"

"Okay, let's pay homage to Guanyin Bodhisattva!" Qian Xiaobao replied.

The two stood at the door of Qingshuiliao, and Watanabe pointed to a tower in the distance and said, "That's the five-storied pagoda of Sensoji Temple!"

Qian Xiaobao looked into the distance, and the gray-black tower tens of meters high stood out from the crowd in Tokyo, which was surrounded by squat wooden houses.

Qian Xiaobao heard from Watanabe that the lottery at Sensoji Temple was very good, so he also thought of drawing a lottery for himself in the temple to see his luck.

There is a huge lantern hanging in front of the gate of Sensoji Temple with the word Kaminarimon written on it.Walking along more than 100 meters of stone paving to worship the Shinto, Watanabe Qian took Qian Xiaobao to the main hall to pay homage to the Asakusa Avalokitesvara.

After coming out of the main hall, Qian Xiaobao urged Watanabe Qian to take him to draw lots.

Watanabe Qian took Qian Xiaobao around the main hall and came to a side hall, where dozens of women in their 50s and [-]s were waiting in line.

"There were not so many people in the past. These women all drew lots for their sons." Watanabe Qian explained.

Thousands of Japanese soldiers are dying every day now, and their mothers in Japan are praying every day for their sons to return safely.

Qian Xiaobao stood in the line and moved forward little by little, watching the person in front throw a piece of Japanese yen into the wooden box and then shake the lottery cylinder to draw lots.

When it was Qian Xiaobao's turn, he also followed suit by throwing a dollar into the wooden box and shaking the stick with both hands.

A bamboo stick fell out, Watanabe Qian said: "No. 60 Seven!"

Then he took Qian Xiaobao to pick up the paper, and there were four poems on the paper with Chinese characters half-understandable.

When Qian Xiaobao saw No. 60 seven evil written on the signed paper, his heart sank.

"The dead tree has no branches
Step up to Yunqi alone

I don't know

make trouble alone"

Watanabe thought.

"Baga, bad luck!" Qian Xiaobao said dissatisfied.

"Don't be discouraged, look at it with a fearless and firm heart! Face the dangers in the future seriously, so that you can save the day!" Watanabe Qian said.

Even Qian Xiaobao admitted in his heart that the Japanese do have the determination and courage to persevere to the end, and they are not afraid of difficulties and dangers and are also very good at inspiring people.

Watanabe Qian pointed to the nearby big tree and said, "That's right there! Tie the lottery paper to the tree, and Guanyin Bodhisattva will bless you safe!"

Qian Xiaobao bought three small sandal-shaped amulets in Sensoji Temple and followed Watanabe back to Qingshuiliao.

The two chatted for a while after dinner, and Watanabe Qian planned to take Qian Xiaobao to participate in the Tokyo Soldiers' Day tomorrow.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the two went back to their rooms to sleep.

Qian Xiaobao was not used to sleeping on tatami, he lay on it for a long time before falling asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, but Qian Xiaobao was suddenly awakened by a whirring sound. He sat up and listened carefully. The sound was not like the loud explosion of an air raid, but like the panting sound of a devil in hell!
Suddenly, the wooden fan and paper window kept shaking, and the flames lit up the entire window red!

"U.S. ghost and animal air strikes, enter the shelter immediately!"

This is Watanabe Qian's heart-piercing cry.

Qian Xiaobao got up and ran out, but he came back halfway through the run. He grabbed his clothes and the first aid kit Xiao Linxun had prepared for him, turned around and rushed out!
