"Otto? What does Otto mean?" Qian Xiaobao asked in confusion.

"This is the code name I gave you. No one except me knows your real name. This is also for your safety." Schultz replied.

"If you want to name it, you should give it a better name. For example, Louis or the Sun King. It is better to call it Napoleon!" Qian Xiaobao said.

Qian Xiaobao has learned a lot of things in the French Consulate for more than half a year.

No one can touch a half-body bronze statue in the lobby of the French consulate. The first thing Mr. Genet did when he woke up every morning was to wipe the half-body statue himself.

This incident aroused Qian Xiaobao's curiosity. Then he asked Zhang Lixing. Zhang Lixing told him that it was a statue of Napoleon and told him the story of Napoleon.

After hearing this, Qian Xiaobao admired Napoleon, who was all over Europe, and remembered it firmly in his heart.

Schultz wanted to tell Qian Xiaobao the story of ancient Rome Otto, but he felt that Qian Xiaobao might not be able to understand it.

The Hubutu River is a narrow boundary river in Dongning, with rapid and narrow water flows. On the other side of the river is the Soviet Union.

Second Lieutenant Yamananosuke from the Kanto Army Intelligence Department led two soldiers to lie in the grass by the river.

He had been watching the other side for more than an hour with his telescope in his hand, and he had not discovered anything on the other side.

The intelligence department secretly sneaked into the other side and overlapped the copper line on the Soviet army's border communication line. Then led the copper line buried underground to this side of the Japanese army on the other side of the Hubutu River.

The listening effect was good in the first two or three months. A large amount of intelligence information was obtained through monitoring and recording by intelligence personnel who were proficient in Russian.

The Kwantung Army Intelligence Department has mastered a large number of important information such as the number of Soviet troops opposite and the rules of border guard patrols.

However, the monitoring effect has begun to worsen in the past half month. The sound is intermittent, large and small, and it is almost impossible to record a complete message. In the end, nothing can be heard.

The head of the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department judged that it was poor contact caused by rain, wind, etc., so people needed to be sent to cross the Hubutu River to repair the route.

This mission fell on Lieutenant Shannan.

It was already midnight, but the Second Lieutenant Shannan still did not order to cross the river. He had to wait until an hour or two before dawn before ordering to cross the river. This should be the time when the Soviet army was most relaxed.

The inspection started from the place where the line was overlapping, and the inspection was only more than 100 meters away from the Hubutu River.

Moreover, at Sanchakou not far behind them, there was a gang of Japanese troops who could reinforce them at any time.

Second Lieutenant Shannan is full of confidence in completing this mission.

But what he didn't know was that a company of the Soviet army had been ambushing the other side for four or five days, just waiting for them to pass by.

After looking at the watch on his wrist again, Yamananosuke finally gave an order: "Cross the river!"

Then he slowly walked into the cold river and waded across the river.

For the convenience of movement, all three of them carried only short guns. All the metal reflectors on their bodies were removed.

As long as there is a situation, it takes only more than ten seconds to run back to the river for a distance of more than 10 meters.

After wading through the Hubutu River, the second lieutenant Shannan took two soldiers into the grass and went straight to the location 45 that they were about to check.

The cautious Yamananosuke lay on the ground and observed carefully before moving forward for about ten meters.

It took Yamananosuke more than an hour to reach the bottom of the Soviet communication pole they were going to inspect.

"Let's start!" Yamananosuke ordered in a low voice.

The other two were soldiers who had been rigorously trained on the river center island in Harbin. They immediately began the line inspection.

Yamananosuke held his pistol and looked around to take on the alert mission.

The secret connection of the lines was very clever, and the Soviet army would never be able to see them without careful inspection.

Two soldiers climbed onto the top of the communication pole and started to check at the overlap point.

The copper wire was stuffed into a tiny gap in the wooden pole. The two soldiers carefully inspected the line from top to bottom.

"Finished!" a soldier said in surprise.

He found a break point on the copper wire in the gap. A flashlight as thick as a pen shone on the break point of the copper wire in the gap.

Just as he was about to pick out the copper wire stuffed in the gap and reconnect it, the careful soldier also saw a thin and invisible scratch in the gap at the breakpoint.

"No! This is artificial!" said the soldier. Because he was too nervous, he could no longer control the size of his voice.

"Retreat quickly!" Yamananosuke ordered. Then he turned around and ran towards Hubutu River more than a hundred meters away.

Just cross the river and it will be safe!

But it was too late to run again at this time. More than a hundred Soviet soldiers surrounded them from all sides.

In the grass, you can already see the sharp bayonets on the rifle.

"Let down your weapon!"

Someone in the Soviet army shouted in stiff Japanese. Someone in the Soviet army could speak Japanese! Obviously they were prepared.

The sound was too loud and the Japanese soldiers who were preparing to respond on the other side of the river in Lian Hubutu heard it. However, they did not dare to cross the border and could only look at the other side in a hurry.

"Follow me!" A Japanese soldier took out two grenades and jumped up and shouted.

He had just run forward more than ten meters away and the two grenades in his hand exploded one after another.

This special grenade had only a delay of two seconds. The Japanese soldier was blown away directly, and the Soviet soldiers ambushed near him all fell in a pool of blood.

"Second Lieutenant, follow me!" Another Japanese soldier rushed out again.

There were two more explosions of grenades.

Yamananosuke ran out of the gap that was blown out in the smoke of gunpowder.

But the machine gun behind him also immediately rang out, like a lawn mower, making the grass leaves fly across.

Yamananosuke, who had just run more than 30 meters away, was shocked and fell to the ground.

The Japanese soldiers opposite watched what was happening in front of them.

"There is an ambush!"

Yamananosuke shouted last.

Whenever there was a conflict on the Manchukuo border, the Soviet army always responded in the toughest way.

Therefore, the Japanese army on the other side of the Hubutu River did not dare to react without receiving orders from superiors.

This is very different from the bold and restless style of the Kwantung Army before.

The news was soon sent back to the Kwantung Army Intelligence Headquarters.

This incident proved that the thing they were most worried about finally happened. The border monitoring operation, which had been trained hard for more than a month and took several months, was completely exposed.
Chapter completed!
