Chapter five hundred and seventh the coldest winter four
Qian Xiaobao returned to the Japanese Embassy with Okuno in dejectedly.
After reporting the situation to Yamao Dobu, Yamao Dobu said: "The German army has broken through the Viajima defense line and surrounded 500,000 troops of the northern powers. Now it is closer to Moscow. It seems that you will have to wait until things come to an end."
Qian Xiaobao knew that Yamaoka Daowu meant it was nothing more than two results of the German army occupying Moscow or the army of the northern powers repelling the attack of the German army.
From then on, Qian Xiaobao started to live in the Japanese embassy. Now the embassy only has the job of listening to the radio to analyze it, but Qian Xiaobao's Russian and German are not at all, so his daily life is to eat and sleep.
Such a wonderful life makes Qian Xiaobao live worse than death. He eats potatoes and dipped in salt every day and then lie in a room above minus 20 degrees Celsius to save energy.
The northern powers deployed dense air defense fire near Moscow, so German planes did not bomb frequently, but only heard the sound of explosions intermittently.
The power supply in Moscow is not normal, so the monitoring and broadcasting work is also intermittent.
A few days later, Yamaoka Daobu finally handed Qian Xiaobao a difficult task.
He took Qian Xiaobao to the embassy's yard and pointed at a tall larch tree and said, "Now there is no coal for heating in the embassy. If this continues, the dozens of people in the embassy can't hold on for a few days. Cut down this big tree for cooking and heating."
So Qian Xiaobao took a handful of axe that was only more than one foot long and began to cut down trees with the spirit of Yugong moving mountains.
After working for a while, Qian Xiaobao started sweating all over. Now he is finally no longer cold, but he is so hungry.
He turned to the back of the big tree and squatted down with his back to the embassy, then reached out to his waist to take out a handful of soybeans and chewed them slowly.
Eating such a precious good thing must not let others discover it.
Qian Xiaobao cut from morning to afternoon, and the two-foot-diameter tree finally became shaky.
Dozens of sparrows on the tree felt danger and flew into the sky ahead of time.
Qian Xiaobao also ran away with an axe.
The pine tree with heavy head and light feet kept shaking in the cold wind, and the bigger the shaking, it finally fell on the snow with a crack.
The seven or eight-meter-long tree canopy hit the snow and stirred up a snow mist.
Qian Xiaobao did not look at the pine trees lying on the ground at this time, but looked up at the sparrows that could not be coiled in the sky.
He put down his axe and asked Yamaoka Daowu for advice.
"Sir, everyone has been eating potatoes these days, and I really can't stand it anymore. I want to catch a few sparrows to improve my life." Qian Xiaobao reported.
"Yes, most people don't have anything to do in the embassy anyway. If you need someone, I'll send it to you right away." Yamaoka Dobu nodded and said.
"What I need is not people but food, such as rice grains or bread crumbs." Qian Xiaobao said.
The Japanese are very strict. Now Qian Xiaobao and some other people of low rank eat potatoes every day when they eat potatoes every day. Ambassador Miji Tsugawa and Yamaoshima Attendant are able to eat some rice and bread every day.
Yamaoka Daowu, who had just sent someone to a very happy life, heard that Qian Xiaobao needed food and his face immediately became severe.
"How likely is it to be successful? How much food is needed? How many sparrows can be caught?" Yamaoka Daowu raised a series of questions to Qian Xiaobao.
"If there is rice or bread crumbs, it will definitely succeed! There should be no problem to catch dozens of them!" Qian Xiaobao replied intently.
Yamaoka Dobu touched his chin with his hand and remained silent, as if he was seriously thinking about an important intelligence mission.
Finally, Yamaoka Dobu finally made up his mind.
"Tell us later to prepare two slices of black bread for Qian Xiaobao!" Yamaoka Dotake ordered Okuno.
Qian Xiaobao received two pieces of dry and hard black bread and wrapped them with a cloth and smashed them with an axe for a long time. When he opened the cloth, the two pieces of bread were broken into pieces.
Qian Xiaobao carefully laid a square meter of bread slag on the snow of the embassy and then built a mouthful of great power with branches on it.
Tied it on the branch with a thin rope, Qian Xiaobao held the other end of the thin rope and lay on the snow ten meters away.
Everyone who heard the news in the embassy was lying on the window and watching Qian Xiaobao who was carrying out important tasks.
Qian Xiaobao lay on the snow without moving, his expression was focused and cold, but he never took such seriousness when he actually performed the mission.
Several sparrows fell on the snow, jumping constantly on the snow like beating notes.
Finally, a sparrow jumped under the big iron pot, and its mouth kept pecking on the snow.
People in various offices were raised.
Slowly, the sparrows pecking breadcrumbs under the big iron pot turned from one to more than a dozen.
"Let's!" Okuno, who was observing in the office, couldn't help but say.
Yamaoka Dobu is worthy of being a graduate of the Mainland University and is much better than Osamu in commanding and fighting.
"It's not the time yet. We need to lure the enemy deeper and wait for the enemy to enter the encirclement to pull more!" said Yamaoka Dowu.
More and more sparrows gathered under the large iron pot to peck at the bread slag, like small black and gray balls that kept wriggling.
"Let me!" Yamaoka Daobu said in front of the window.
As if there was telepathy, Qian Xiaobao pulled the string in his hand and pulled the branches back. The big iron pot that had lost its support buckled it on the snow with a bang.
Except for a few sparrows on the edge flying into the sky, dozens of sparrows were locked down.
Qian Xiaobao jumped up and ran to the big iron pot.
"Get the bag!" Qian Xiaobao shouted.
Two chefs in charge of cooking in the embassy ran out with empty rice bags.
Qian Xiaobao took his hand from the snow to the underside of the iron pot to catch the sparrow that was fluttering.
Every time he grabbed it, he put the sparrow he grabbed in his hand into the bag. The chef tucked it into the pocket and let Qian Xiaobao's hand slowly come out.
More than a dozen times later, Qian Xiaobao finally grabbed all the sparrows under the big iron pot.
Qian Xiaobao repeated twice, but the sparrows he caught were fewer than once.
However, three times combined to catch more than a hundred sparrows.
It was almost time for dinner, and all the people in the embassy were absent-minded, and there was never a meal as expected as it was tonight.
In the evening, each of the embassy people stewed potato soup with sparrows. Ambassador Miji Tsugawa and Yamaoka Dotake also had two slices of black bread and a roasted sparrow in addition to the soup.
Yamaoka Daowu slowly savored the deliciousness of the roasted sparrow and felt that Qian Xiaobao's victory was brilliant under his command.
"The iron-like German army has occupied Shimki! Our warriors will soon see the Red Square in Moscow!..."
The excited voice of the German announcer came from the radio.
Ambassador Miji Tsugawa and Dotake Yamaoka looked at each other without saying a word. They all knew where Shimki was without looking at the map.
Chapter completed!
