Chapter 198 "Northward Advance" Frustrated

The time has entered August, and the beginning of autumn is about to begin. The temperature in Khabarovsk has also dropped a little, and the temperature during the day is less than 8 degrees.

Older people have to wear a vest under their coats.

In Khabarovsk, the domestic news is relatively closed, generally there are only some sporadic news, and it is quite lagging.

On May 5, Wang Zhaoming surrendered to the enemy and treason.

On June 6, the Sino-Soviet Friendship and Trade Agreement was signed in Moscow.

……

On July 7, Japan signed the "Arita-Clay Agreement" with the United Kingdom, known as the "Far East Munich" conspiracy...

Seeing that the return date was nowhere in sight, Zhou Sen was naturally depressed, although his current work was going smoothly.

Not only Saburo Shibuya was satisfied, but Peshkov was also satisfied.

As a spy, there are not many people who can compare with him throughout the ages.

But his heart is not here.

As long as I don’t work every day, I will go fishing with a fishing rod on my shoulders. I use this time-wasting way to pass the time. During this time, my fishing skills have improved a lot.

In addition, Natasha always pulled him to help with the operation. Although the number of operations in the First Hospital was not very large, some wounded on the front line of the Haraha River were transferred to the Khabarovsk Field Hospital.

Natasha was borrowed in the past, and the amount of trauma surgery is still very large.

Zhou Sen had no choice but to exercise his "surgery" ability along with him, and now even if someone said that he was not a doctor at all, no one would believe him.

He just left home halfway.

At the beginning, it was just pretending, but I didn't expect to pretend to be a famous doctor.

It is not his turn to perform particularly complicated operations. Of course, he does not dare to perform them, but he can visit and study nearby.

Yi Duo is not overwhelmed, his qualifications to practice medicine in the United States are fake, but the certificate in Soviet Russia is real.

It can be said that as long as he wants, he can immediately obtain a qualification to go to Moscow University Medical School for further study.

But this is not his main business.

Because of the incident at the police station, Zhou Sen had already handed over the secret code he possessed to Anna. Although it is safer for two people to master it separately, this is lurking in the "enemy" and there is almost an accident. As a translator and translator, he has completely become a hand-off shopkeeper. He doesn't ask about all the reports, even small ones. Anna can report whatever she wants. After grasping the big ones, he will study how to fish.

Apart from taking Hunter to Helen's Bar in Vladivostok and giving him Walter's connection, he has never been to other places.

He wanted to go to Gongqingcheng, but he couldn't find an excuse, so he had to give up.

The relationship on the roster can only be connected one by one through the three hunters. The hunter is now losing him in the total traffic.

Anna is usually responsible for contacting them.

Except for Khabarovsk and Vladivostok, the rest of the roster of the "Troy" project are contacted and responsible by hunters.

This intelligence network has not been successfully constructed until now. Before, it was only scattered and arranged to lurk and develop independently.

There are only occasional information exchanges and contacts with the responsible persons in various places, and most of them live their own lives, no different from ordinary people.

This kind of reverse latent operation is really not something that ordinary people can do, and it has been done silently for more than ten years.

So, to do intelligence work, you have to be able to endure loneliness. If you are not patient and careful, don't do this job.

This was done under the circumstances that the two big men, Peshkov and Veselov, deliberately released water, otherwise, it would not have been so smooth.

However, this matter was done seamlessly, as long as the Ministry of Intelligence and the Bureau of Internal Affairs did not interfere, there would naturally be no difficulty.

……

"Steven, this is for you. Be sure to pass the news back." One day later, Natasha came to the river to find Zhou Sen who was fishing.

Zhou Sen glanced at the contents of the note, slightly surprised: "Is this news fake?"

"No, it's true, but this troop and equipment will not be used in the next battle against Japan, but will be rotated and supplemented."

"You guys are really insidious enough." Zhou Sen understood that with this piece of information, there was no problem on the surface, but it would mislead the Japanese army to make wrong judgments, which would be fatal.

The intelligence is true, but the information behind the intelligence is much more.

Under normal circumstances, increasing troops and replenishing equipment before a major war must be prepared for the next battle, but the Soviets did not do this. In fact, they were already ready to attack. Whether or not these troops and equipment are present, they will attack , and deliberately delayed the arrival of these troops and equipment, and then passed the information back through him.

This is clearly misleading the Japanese army to judge that it will not launch an attack before the equipment and soldiers arrive, while the Soviet army will attack in advance...

If this is not insidious, what is it?
The information is true, Zhou Sen has no risk, he is only responsible for inquiring and delivering the information, not analyzing it.

Analyzing the content behind the intelligence, there is a special combat staff, even if someone will see it in the future.

The responsibility is not on him either.

"What do you mean?"

"You will launch an attack before the arrival of this batch of equipment and troops, will you catch the Japanese army by surprise?" Zhou Sen asked.

"How do you know?"

"Does this need to be said? Since the intelligence is true, it means that the Japanese army is not afraid of knowing it. Since it is not afraid of knowing it, it must be making a fuss outside of intelligence. Now both sides are preparing for the war. The Japanese army is newly defeated and is actively attacking. The possibility is extremely small, so you are the next active attacker. The offense and defense have been switched, and the Japanese army is in a defensive position. It is necessary to know the exact time of your attack, at least to have a rough judgment. Once my information If you send it out, the Japanese military staff will definitely judge that the time for the Soviet attack is most likely to be after the 22nd, but the actual situation is that you will definitely launch the attack in advance, am I right?" Zhou Sen analyzed and explained.

"If I didn't know that you have never left Khabarovsk, I would have thought you had participated in our battle plan formulation meeting." Natasha said, she knew this, and Peshkov told her of course.

If it wasn't for her to explain to Zhou Sen, Peshkov probably wouldn't have told her about it. After all, this is top secret and she has no authority to know.

However, such a top secret, after reading the information, Zhou Sen casually revealed it, exactly as if he had seen it himself.

"Where's the source of the information?"

"Equipment and personnel are transported by railway, and wagons need to be used. This explanation should not be difficult." Natasha said, "Your people are in the railway system, and you can find out after a little inquiry."

"Well, I see." Zhou Sen nodded, seeing the gourd being dragged into the water, he quickly pulled up the fishing rod.

A big white fish jumped out of the water, was hooked by the hook that had been eaten in its stomach, and struggled to get back into the water again.

But all this is in vain.

"Come home tonight, grilled fish that I cooked myself?" Zhou Sen was overjoyed. Now, he can add more vegetables at night.

"No, I don't like sharing a fish with other women." Natasha said, getting up.

"Hehe..." Zhou Sen smiled and didn't care. This is the best way. He also tried to see if Natasha still didn't give up on him.

"It's almost there. Don't be too greedy. I'm going back too." Zhou Sen also put away his fishing net bag, and Maza, ready to go back.

He bought a bicycle, which was more convenient in a small town like Khabarovsk. Compared with Natasha who took a car, it was much more shabby.

……

"He really said that?" Peshkov asked in surprise after hearing Natasha's report.

"Yes, he just glanced at the information and asked me if the news was fake, I said it was true, and then said that this batch of personnel and weapons were for rotation and replenishment, so he guessed our intention. ’ Natasha explained.

"His keenness and sensitivity to intelligence are much stronger than ordinary people. Anthony has chosen a powerful heir!" Peshkov exclaimed.

"General, the task is completed, I will take my leave first."

"Natasha, Steven is a talent, if we want to keep him, what do you think?" Peshkov asked.

"I'm afraid not, he must be going back to Bingcheng."

"I mean, if you can keep him, that Martha, she is a spy trained by the Japanese at all, and they are not really a couple?" Peshkov said.

Natasha's cheeks flushed slightly: "General, I have already failed once. If I am rejected again, I may not be able to see him again."

"Well, I'm just suggesting that he's actually an orphan, and that boss Bai in Bingcheng is just his fiancée. It's still uncertain whether they can be together," Peshkov said.

"General, I understand." Natasha could hear Peshkov's hint, but she also knew that Zhou Sen's heart was not in Khabarovsk, and it was useless to force it.

……

In the early morning of August 8, the Soviet army suddenly launched an offensive while the frontline Japanese officers were returning to Hailar for vacation.

The Japanese army's misjudgment of the date of the Soviet attack made the defense line built by the Soviet army torn apart at once.

Immediately, under the bombardment of the Soviet army's heavy artillery, tanks and aircraft, the Japanese army desperately resisted. After several days of fierce fighting, the 23rd Division was heavily surrounded by the Soviet army, and soon fell into a situation of running out of ammunition and food.

The timing of the Soviet army's attack this time was extremely ingenious, and they cleverly used the tactics of coordinating large corps operations, which not only caught the Japanese army by surprise, but also trained a group of young officers.

General Georgi became famous in the first battle and became a hero of the Soviet army.

Of course, the information sent back by Zhou Sen also contributed a lot. Afterwards, the Kwantung Army Staff Headquarters and the Japanese Sixth Army Staff Headquarters in Hailar both agreed that the Soviet Army had not yet completed its offensive preparations and would have to wait for this batch of major equipment at the latest. and additional troops arrived.

Based on this judgment, the Japanese commanders on the front line relaxed their vigilance. On the 20th, many Japanese officers returned to Hailar for a rest and failed to return in time.

Although the Japanese army fought bravely and tenaciously, and was not afraid of death, the overall combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was greatly reduced due to the absence of a large number of grassroots officers. At the beginning of the Soviet attack, they failed to organize a timely and effective counterattack, and the scene was out of control and chaotic , resulting in the inability to organize an effective counterattack in the follow-up, resulting in heavy losses.

The defeat of the Kwantung Army is set.
