Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 75
Qian Xiaobao walked back with a complicated mood.The parting words the big man said seemed to be his dying words.

Only those who have completely let go of life and death can speak like that.

Now is a good time to eat melon.The cantaloupe in the bag gave off a burst of fragrance, but Qian Xiaobao was not in the mood to eat melons at all.

He was adopted by Feng Maoshan, the leader of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and took him to the mountain to start fighting with the Japanese all the time.

Although he was young at that time, he still clearly remembers the prosperity at the beginning, and the anti-Japanese teams appeared one after another.

Even the bandits who robbed houses ran out one after another to fight against Japan.At that time, if you didn't play the banner of anti-Japanese, you would feel ashamed to face others!
But the situation quickly took a turn for the worse, and so many men died in the hands of the Japanese.One by one the teams fell apart, some died, and some fled and hid.Others defected to the Japanese.

There is no food, no clothes, no guns and ammunition supplies, and there are not many teams that can persist until now.

Even after Qian Xiaobao arrived in Harbin, he secretly killed Zhou Xingfu and Qin Yulu.But there is no splash at all.Their places were quickly filled.

The hardest thing about doing things is that no matter what you do, you feel that there is no hope in sight.

When Qian Xiaobao came home, he saw the old man Savish sitting by the bed, holding his wife's hand and muttering to himself as if he was praying.

While his wife was lying on the bed, her condition became more and more serious.She just stared at the ceiling with her eyes open.

Qian Xiaobao happened to have a stomach full of resentment and had nowhere to vent, and at this moment it all exploded.

"Why don't you take her to see a doctor? Just let her wait on the bed to die? A chicken can kick its legs even when its head is off. How can a human be worse than a chicken?" Qian Xiaobao questioned.

The old man Savish couldn't understand what Qian Xiaobao said at all, maybe he guessed what Qian Xiaobao meant and still raised his finger to point to the sky as before.

"Depending on God is worse than relying on yourself! I'll go to the doctor right now and come back to help you see a doctor!" Qian Xiaobao said.

He turned and left the house and went straight to Schultz's clinic in the shopping street.

In less than half an hour, a carriage stopped in front of the small western building.

Qian Xiaobao and Schultz, who was carrying a medicine box, got out of the carriage.

Schultz looked up at the place where Qian Xiaobao lived, and he only knew that Qian Xiaobao lived here now.

"Hurry up and go in! The disease is cured, and I'll treat you to dinner!" Qian Xiaobao urged.

The process of seeing a doctor surprised Qian Xiaobao.

After Schultz walked into the bedroom of the old man Savisch, after a brief exchange, the two began to talk enthusiastically in German.

Only then did Qian Xiaobao wake up.Both the Savisches and Schulz are from Germany.

Even Mrs. Savish, lying on the bed, had a look of joy on her face.

It is natural to be happy to meet someone from the same country in a foreign country.

Qian Xiaobao was very embarrassed standing next to him, because he couldn't understand a word, let alone get in his mouth.

He ended up going upstairs alone to wait for the results of Schultz's treatment.

It took an hour for Schultz to come upstairs.

"How, can it be cured?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

Schultz shook his head and said: "They have given themselves all to fate. It is too late for treatment now."

"What is fate? People have to rely on themselves!" Qian Xiaobao blurted out.

Schultz explained: "They have their gods. They believe that fate is the will of the gods. The two old people originally planned to go to Shanghai from here and then to the United States. If they got there, they might live for a few more years. The medical conditions in Harbin are only in Japan. The hospital is better. But now only Japanese soldiers can go in for treatment.”

"Then why don't they leave now?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"Two years ago, they wrote to their son in Germany asking his family to meet them in Harbin and then go to Shanghai together. But for two years, the son's family has not come and there is no news. Only two old people went to Shanghai What's the point?" Schultz explained.

"I heard that Harbin can write letters to foreign countries. Why is there no news? Since there is an address in Harbin, why hasn't his son come for two years?" Qian Xiaobao asked puzzled.

Schultz felt that it was complicated to explain the situation of Jews in Germany to Qian Xiaobao.From the bottom of his heart, he was pessimistic that the old man's son and his family would still be able to reach Harbin.

"It's not just in China, it's the same all over the world. Some people are willing to sacrifice the lives of thousands of people in other countries for their own happiness." Schultz said.

Qian Xiaobao heard that Schultz was referring to the Japanese.

"How did you get here? Where did the people I heal go?" Schultz asked.

"They're all dead, and now I'm the only one left." Qian Xiaobao replied.

He was not afraid that Schultz would go to the Japanese to inform him.After all, it was Schultz who treated those people.

After entering the Security Bureau, Qian Xiaobao knew many things.The Japanese have captured many foreign intelligence personnel here.They were all interrogated quietly and then dealt with secretly.

If the Japanese knew that Schultz had also helped the anti-Japanese elements, they would treat him like this.Let him completely disappear in this world without leaving a trace.

"You don't believe that fate is right. But the power of one person or a few people is too weak. The form of resistance is not just picking up a gun directly." Schultz said implicitly.

"What else can I do without a gun? The paper-drawing man cursed the Japanese?" Qian Xiaobao said unconvinced.

Schultz hesitated.He didn't know if he should have said too much to Qian Xiaobao the first time.

His superiors have replied that he must decline De Bruyne's invitation.The comrades in Shanghai secretly paid attention to the establishment of listening posts and intelligence stations by Germany in Shanghai.

And he wants to stay here to pay attention to the movements of the Kwantung Army.

Today's Japan is ambitious.The Kwantung Army and some forces in Japan have always wanted to march northward to cut off the Far East part of the northern neighbor and take it into their pockets.

This is what the superiors are most concerned about.Therefore, for the superiors, it is more valuable for Schultz to stay in Harbin than to let him go south to Shanghai.

Schultz thought for a while and decided to adopt a roundabout way.

"I was walking in the park with a girl the other day, did you see that?" Schultz asked.

Qian Xiaobao nodded with a smirk on his face: "Are you just taking a walk? You foreigners are just too—"

When Qian Xiaobao came to this point, he couldn't continue.He wanted to say that it was shameless.It's too outrageous for a man and a woman to hug each other as if there is no one else in the crowd!

"I like that girl very much. But I don't know much about her family. Her younger brother, a Russian, actually joined the Japanese army. You have a lot of contacts at the French consulate. Do you know anything about it? asked Schultz.

He tried his best to leave no trace in front of Qian Xiaobao.

"The Russians joined the Japanese army? Why haven't I heard of it?" Qian Xiaobao said.
