Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 201 The Farewell of Michitaro Komatsuhara

Michitaro Komatsuhara came to say goodbye to Harue Kono.He immediately rushed back to Japan as the head of the No.20 Third Division.

From the former chief of the Harbin Secret Service to the current chief of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army, he has probably followed this path.

Graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer School and then admitted to the mainland.Among them, the outstanding ones were sent abroad as military attaches to broaden their horizons.After returning from abroad, it will be reused.

Komatsuhara Michitaro is exactly this way.After graduating from Lu University, he worked as a military attache at the Japanese embassy in the Soviet Union for many years.After returning to Japan, he entered the General Staff Headquarters and then served as the chief of the Harbin Secret Service, the predecessor of the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army.

Now he finally also served as division commander.It's just that the No. 20 Third Division is a newly formed division, and its number and equipment are far inferior to those of the dozen or so standing divisions.

"Congratulations, General, this time he should be sent to North China or South China, right?" Kono Harue said.

Now the Japanese military is seriously tense.Several divisions in the Kwantung Army actually have only about 1 people, and their ammunition reserves are seriously insufficient.This is also the reason for stepping up the formation of new divisions.And the place that lacks the most troops is the hinterland of China.

Michitaro Komatsuhara nodded in agreement.According to its real strength, the army he is about to lead can only take on the task of maintaining law and order and vigilance.

And as far as he is concerned, he wants to make contributions too much.

"What do seniors think of the battle that just ended in Fangchuan?" asked Michitaro Komatsuhara.

Although Michitaro Komatsuhara is also an old man in Japanese military intelligence, he is still younger than Harue Kono, who came to the Northeast during the Russo-Japanese War.

"I've read the report from the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army. There's too much moisture in it!" Harue Kono said dissatisfied.

"And there are still a lot of gaps in it. For example, the report on the railway transportation between China and the Soviet Union before the start of the war and during the war was not written. How much military material was transported by the Soviet army for this war? It was hardly mentioned in the report. In the future In terms of intelligence research, the railway transportation capacity of the Soviet side should be our focus!" said Harue Kono.

Michitaro Komatsuhara nodded frequently in agreement.

Kono Harue finally said: "What I told the general means that in the future, you must carefully analyze the intelligence materials provided to you by the intelligence agencies!"

After seeing off Michitaro Komatsuhara, Harue Kono said to Kaoru Kobayashi, "That kid Qian Xiaobao has good ears, right? Tell him to come to me immediately!"

When Xiao Linxun rushed to Qian Xiaobao's house, he saw Qian Xiaobao playing with a puppy with Zhaodi.

This puppy was bought by Qian Xiaobao from the Russian old lady when he returned to the gate of the special city park.

"If you are not still in school, I will buy one for you." Qian Xiaobao said to Xiao Linxun.

"You can buy me one after I graduate from the health and nursing school next year. I like dogs the most, and they are loyal!" Xiao Linxun said to Qian Xiaobao.

Qian Xiaobao heard something different from Xiaolin Xun's words.

"What if you find that your dog is not loyal to you?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"I missed when I was dealing with Morita Lang the year before last. If it wasn't for your help, I would have died in his hands. If it were now, I would definitely not miss!" Kobayashi said.

Even though it was August, Qian Xiaobao still had a cold war.

After Qian Xiaobao saw Harue Kono, Harue Kono did not rush to ask him about what he saw in Fangchuan, but carefully asked Ono Dahiro about letting him study with Yamamoto Heisaku.

"Hirasaku Yamamoto actually taught you the knowledge of distance measurement? This is definitely not what ordinary intelligence personnel should learn." Harue Kono said.

"The interpreter Yamamoto told me about the angles for a long time. My head is about to split open." Qian Xiaobao said bitterly.

Kono Harue has read a lot of intelligence materials collected by the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army.Several countries are now cultivating their own tactical intelligence forces.

Before and during the war, such intelligence units go deep into the enemy's rear to collect intelligence and attack the enemy's command post.Destroy communication and transportation lines, destroy military warehouses, etc. to perform arduous tasks that can even directly affect the battle situation.

The Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army must have seen a lot of such information, so they also want to train such a small army.

But this time on the battlefield, Ono Dakuan saw Qian Xiaobao's outstanding performance in the meadow and swamp like a loach, so he began to train Qian Xiaobao.

However, Harue Kono did not tell Qian Xiaobao the judgment in his heart.

"Japan's training of intelligence personnel is still like a private school. Interpreter Yamamoto is your teacher. In the future, more and more intelligence personnel will be needed, so you can't train them like this. At that time, you have to train a large number of intelligence personnel like a school. But not It will be as detailed as it is now. So you should cherish it." Harue Kono said.

"I also think that the interpreter Yamamoto is a good person. He is very kind and very patient. At least it's not like other people who don't treat me well." Qian Xiaobao replied.

Kono Harue knew that this was Qian Xiaobao alluding to himself.But she didn't care, she always felt that only those who did not hide their emotions and had true temperament were more trustworthy.

It would be doubtful if Qian Xiaobao was always respectful in front of him.

When the topic changed, Harue Kono finally asked about Zhang Gufeng's battle.

"How did the dead people on the battlefield die?" Kono Harue asked.

"Of course they all died out of breath." Qian Xiaobao replied.

"I'm asking you about how many people died under the shells and bombs?" Harue Kono asked patiently this time.

"At least [-]% of the Japanese soldiers died from shells and bombs! The rest died from machine guns. The Japanese army always likes to carry out night raids, so more Soviet soldiers died from rifles and grenades." Qian Xiaobao replied.

"From the time I arrived in Fangchuan at the end of July until the end of the battle at noon on August [-], the Soviet artillery almost never stopped. As long as there was no rain or fog, the Soviet planes never stopped bombing. I am now Knowing that a rifle is useless in a real war! The ground under my feet keeps shaking, and I can't even hold the gun steadily!" Qian Xiaobao continued.

"I heard that you could see the sea when you were investigating. Could you see the boats in the sea at that time?" Kono Harue asked again.

"There is no fog, and of course you can see it when it's not raining. All the ships floating in the sea are Soviet army transport ships. The heavy rain has washed away the roads, and there is no way to supply them by road transportation." Qian Xiaobao replied.

This time the Japanese army did not dispatch a single plane.The Japanese navy also did not lend a helping hand.Otherwise, the Nineteenth Division can play better.

This is a contest of steel.Obviously, the Japanese army was at a clear disadvantage in the contest.

But some people in the Kwantung Army are still intoxicated by the victory of hand-to-hand combat.
