In order not to be discovered, Qian Xiaobao crawled like a snail, from the middle of the night in the mud and water until eight or nine o'clock in the morning before coming to the near Shacao Peak.

According to Ono Takuan, this place is already the territory of the Kanto Army. So it is safe for Qian Xiaobao to return here.

However, Qian Xiaobao, who had always been cautious, did not get up. The vision in this place expanded, and even if it was hundreds of meters away, it would knock down one shot.

After thirty-six prayers, I won’t be able to tremble the last time. Qian Xiaobao decided to crawl for a while, everything is important to his life.

There was a rustling sound of water in the distance. A dozen Soviet soldiers dragged a wide wooden board towards the Shacao Peak like a sled.

There were several rifles, a machine gun and tools for digging field fortifications on the wooden board.

Qian Xiaobao picked up the rifle and put it down again.

It was not difficult to get him out of guard against the Soviet soldiers in his squad. But he felt that there was no need to do this for the Japanese.

A dozen Soviet soldiers dragged the wooden boards to the foot of the mountain and crawled up to the Shacao Peak with weapons and tools.

Ono Dakuan listened to Qian Xiaobao's report who had just arrived back with a gloomy face.

Originally, the dispute between the Japanese and the Soviet Union was between Zhanggufeng and Hassan Lake. Unexpectedly, the Soviet army sent troops to occupy Shacaofeng, which was not controversial.

"What else have you seen?" asked Ono Dakuan.

"The observation location that the commander arranged for me was Ma'anshan. But there was an artillery unit stationed there, and there was an observation room on the mountain. I couldn't get up to the mountain at all." Qian Xiaobao replied.

This is an important piece of information.

Ono Takuan hurriedly put the map on the table and drew it on the location of Ma'anshan.

"How many cannons are there on the position you observe?" Ono Dakuan asked.

"More than fifty!" Qian Xiaobao replied without hesitation.

If so, it is the size of an artillery regiment.

Ono Takuan hurriedly took out a stack of photos from his briefcase for Qian Xiaobao to identify them.

Qian Xiaobao looked through a few photos and pointed to a photo and said, "It's this kind of cannon!"

Ono Takuan saw that the photo was the Soviet army's 122 mm howitzer.

This area has a soft soil and too heavy cannons cannot move at all.

"Your mission was completed very well!" Ono Dakuan said in admiration.

"Also, from the first day to the middle of the night to the next day, more than 600 military vehicles drove over. There were more than 70 cannons tow!" Qian Xiaobao said in an extremely affirmative tone.

"But this highway has already crushed military vehicles. I think the transportation speed will be slower and slower in the future." Qian Xiaobao added.

Qian Xiaobao's observation was completely consistent with the Kwantung Army's judgment. In this case, the Soviet army mainly relied on transport ships to replenish supplies from Vladivostok.

"Thank you for your hard work, go back and rest quickly." Ono Dakuan said to Qian Xiaobao.

Qian Xiaobao put a pack of cigarettes into his pocket and threw two vitamin pills into his mouth. Both of these things were given to him.

Then I picked up the lunch box and ate the rice, a sardine and a small bowl of soy soup.

The man in his thirties walked towards him with a smile.

"It's a good meal. I think this fish seems to be bigger than the one I eat." The man said.

"This is the army! I am a military officer, you are a soldier. Why did you talk to me just now? There is no rule at all!" Qian Xiaobao said with a stern expression.

If both of them are Japanese, the corporals must behave properly when talking to the sergeant.

Five of the more than 20 people brought by Ono Takuan were Manchukuo. Among them, Qian Xiaobao was young but he had the highest military rank.

"Yes, Xiaobao Soldier!" the man said intently.

Then the man whispered, "I just think you look very similar to the people I've met before. So I just spoke casually."

"Is that so? I've caught fish in the Ussuri River before. It's known as the little white dragon in the Ussuri River! There is no one in the area of ​​Raohe who doesn't know me! Have you been to Raohe?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

The man shook his head and said, "It seems that I recognized the wrong person."

After saying this, he turned around and left.

After Qian Xiaobao reported to leave, Ono looked at his watch - eleven o'clock. According to the time Qian Xiaobao described, the Soviet soldiers occupied Shacao Peak at about 9:30.

He wrote down the words "9:30" on July 29 in his notebook.

Then Ono Dakuan immediately called the 75th United team leader Yukito Sato to report the matter.

Sato Yukito immediately reported to the commander of the 19th Division, Tou Takagizo. After receiving the affirmative reply from Tou Takagizo, Sato Yukito ordered the garrison leader Chida Satoshi to send two small teams to expel the Soviet soldiers on the Shacao Peak.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Sadaki Chida reported to Sato Yukito that the Soviet soldiers had been driven away from Shacao Peak.

In the evening, eighty Soviet soldiers reoccupied Shacao Peak.

Taitaka Turtle is called the brave general. This time, he knew that the number of troops was not as strong as the other party and the weapon equipment was not as good as the other party, and when the Soviet army was blessed with a large number of planes and tanks, he still planned to do a big battle.

On the night of July 30, a brigade of Japanese troops launched an attack on Zhang Gufeng. At dawn on the 31st, a brigade of Japanese troops launched an attack on Shacaofeng.

Since Qian Xiaobao had just returned from an important task, Ono gave him a day off.

But Qian Xiaobao couldn't fall asleep all night. An explosion sounded in the east of the river all night. Because the distance was too close, Qian Xiaobao felt the earth tremble for a night.

He walked out of the house and looked eastward. There was a fire in the direction of Zhanggufeng and Shacaofeng.

Sato Yukito was also restless in the command post. According to information, the Soviet army had seven battalions, thirty-six cannons and eleven tanks. The number and firepower of the Japanese army were much stronger than that of a battalion.

Thunder sounded again in the explosion. It started to rain heavily again.

At four o'clock in the morning, Sato Yukito finally received a call from the front of the position: "Sir, you have already attacked. You are now in a hand-to-hand combat!"

Hearing the excited voice on the phone, Yukito Sato knew that he had finally captured the target.

However, the Soviet cannons were roaring all day long. Japanese soldiers could only squat in the trenches in the heavy rain and were bombarded by the Soviet army.

At noon, the heavy rain finally stopped. However, the Japanese army's nightmare did not stop. Soviet planes hovered one by one over Zhanggufeng and Shacaofeng and threw bombs one by one.

Qian Xiaobao was recruited to Ono's temporary command post in the afternoon and waited for reassignment of tasks.

Qian Xiaobao inadvertently glanced at the people in the room, and then counted them unsurely. There were actually five fewer people in the whole room than when they came!
Chapter completed!
