Chapter 199 Rescue Order
"This is the latest battle report."

Zhou Sen received it in surprise, glanced at it, and said in surprise, "2000 people escaped without annihilation?"

Natasha gave Zhou Sen a white look, and said in her heart, you thought it was a game, but this is a war. Although the Japanese army’s equipment is not as good as the Soviet army’s, the individual combat effectiveness is really strong, and they are not afraid of death. of.

After experiencing the "Great Cleansing", the Soviet army, which was severely injured, was able to fight like this, which wiped out the Japanese army.

She thought too, but couldn't do it.

You know, if General Georgi hadn't been decisively appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Soviet army, it would be hard to say what the outcome of this battle would be.

You know, the Japanese army had planned this battle for a long time. Although the Soviet army was vigilant, the previous generals were too incompetent and mediocre. .

The original commander of the 57th Army was a waste. If he hadn't been replaced, even if he could win this battle, it would be extremely tragic.

"This result is also beneficial to you. The Japanese army was defeated, and they will inevitably adjust their strategy. For a long time, they should not provoke troubles on the border between Manchuria and the Soviet Union." Natasha said.

"Although you won this battle, the Japanese army didn't suffer any injuries. I originally thought that you could eat up his entire division and make them suffer once, but now..."

"You probably don't know yet, we signed a non-aggression treaty with Germany just a week ago," Natasha said.

"What?" Zhou Sen was taken aback. Of course, he was pretending. Even if he didn't get any definite news, he still remembered that after the Japanese army suffered a defeat at the Halaha River, they didn't quit easily. Others dispatched troops for reinforcements, and even wanted to transfer the troops inside the pass to outside the pass.

But the reason why they ceased war with the Soviet side was that the Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression pact. In this way, the Kwantung Army naturally had no way to deal with the strong pressure from Soviet Russia alone, so they had to cease the war.

"The opportunity for you to return to Ice City may be coming soon," Natasha said.

"Thank you."

"You don't need to thank me. If you return to Ice City, it may be more useful to us." Natasha said.

"Ice City is not something I can go back to if I want to," Zhou Sen said.

"We can secretly facilitate, for example, there is something you have to go back to the ice city?" Natasha said.

"I have to think about it." Zhou Sen nodded slightly and asked to return to Ice City, which was obviously impossible.

Saburo Shibuya would not agree either.

But if Saburo Shibuya took the initiative to recall him, that would be another matter.

However, there must be a reason for voluntary recall, and it is impossible for no reason. Of course, time is a factor.

After all, I signaled to leave in the name of special training, and the duration of this kind of special training should not exceed half a year at most, and if no one returned after half a year, there must be special circumstances.

He was just a small person, not many people paid attention to him, even if he didn't come back after timeout, probably not many people asked him.

In addition to his relatives and friends who are related to him.

In other words, as long as Saburo Shibuya is willing, even if he lets Zhou Sen and Anna stay in Khabarovsk, there is nothing he can do about it.

……

Returning to the clinic from the First Hospital, Zhou Sen was thinking about how to get Shibuya Saburo to recall him directly to Bingcheng.

But after thinking about several solutions, Zhou Sen almost cracked his head, and couldn't find a better excuse.

I can only think slowly and wait for the time.

Some things are easy to make mistakes while busy, and once they make mistakes, it is fatal.

Back home, Anna had already prepared dinner and was waiting for him to come back to have dinner together. In the eyes of outsiders, she was a qualified wife, gentle and virtuous.

But in fact, they are a perfect pair of partners.

Under Zhou Sen's training, Anna's cooking skills are still good, but she is far behind Ah Xiang in this respect.

However, some home-cooked dishes, according to the established steps and strict procedures, are not bad, and they are not bad compared to ordinary restaurants on the market.

"The hunter brought news today that the Komsomolsk Shipyard is expanding the dock and seems to be preparing to build large ships..."

"General information, after summarizing, report it together, you don't need to tell me." Zhou Sen poured a large glass of kvass, "Do you want to drink?"

"Half a glass is enough."

Zhou Sen poured Anna half a glass: "How much medicine is left in the clinic? I have to order a batch. This time I will buy more. Some medicinal materials will not be able to be picked when the weather gets cold."

"Well, I'll make a list later." Anna nodded, "Master, do you want to go back to Ice City?"

"Yes, of course I have, but whether we can go back or not is up to us." Zhou Sen sighed.

Anna looked at Zhou Sen and said, "Why don't you find an excuse to go back?"

"You mean to let me go back secretly?" Zhou Sen asked in surprise.

"Anyway, you gave me the code book. I can receive and send messages by myself. It doesn't make any difference whether you are there or not."

"But what if Mr. Shibuya assigns you a task?"

"The task must be completed, we lurkers are not omnipotent." Anna laughed.

"This..." Zhou Sen thought about the feasibility of this matter. He wanted to go back, but if he went back secretly, the risk would be too high.

Once the identity is exposed, it can be fatal.

Moreover, the danger of sneaking across the border is very high, and he is not familiar with the environment, so it is completely a risky act.

"Forget it, Mr. Shibuya didn't intend to let me stay in Khabarovsk. He must have follow-up arrangements. Maybe he will recall us soon. Why take this risk." Zhou Sen refused.

"Do you really not want Boss Bai?"

"Of course I thought about it. I said it. After my special training, I went back to celebrate her birthday. Who knows, she must be very disappointed when she was sent to Khabarovsk to perform a mission." Zhou Sen said with a wry smile.

"When are you going to get married?"

"Originally, it was agreed to pick a time at the end of the year, but now it seems that it is uncertain." Zhou Sen did not hide it.

This matter is also possible. It is the same thing whether to say it or not.

"I really envy you and Boss Bai."

"Actually, the gardener is also good. I saw it during the special training. He took good care of you. We all saw that he likes you." Zhou Sen said.

"What's the use of liking? With our identity, can we still expect to have marriage and a family?" Anna said bitterly.

"It is impossible to fight a war for a lifetime. We will return to a normal life one day. Is it true that if we become an agent, we will be alone forever?" Zhou Sen comforted, "Don't be too pessimistic. There will be bread. There will be love too."

"You said that if Boss Bai changed his mind, would you choose Natasha?" Anna asked.

Zhou Sen smiled: "I don't answer such non-existent questions. My Yulan is not the kind of woman who easily transfers love to others."

"How long have you two known each other?"

"The two of us not only have love, but also have a deep bond of interests. If we both prosper and lose, the relationship will last longer, do you understand?" Zhou Sen explained with a chuckle.

"It seems that you are very confident?"

"That's natural."

……

When the news of the armistice came, it seemed that history would not be shifted by man-made forces. This little butterfly flapped its wings, but it did not change its original course.

That night, Anna routinely took out the radio to receive relevant news.

Only receiving and not replying, this will not be discovered by radio detection equipment, because the receiver itself does not send out any radio signals.

With the blinking of the signal light, Saburo Shibuya sent a telegram.

Anna quickly copied and translated the telegram.

"Master, we are in trouble, Shibuya Commander sent us a rescue order!" Anna handed the translated message to Zhou Sendao.

"Rescue order?" Zhou Sen was also taken aback. For so many days, the missions they took were all about intelligence, and other aspects were none of their business.

Zhou Sen read this order again and again, and finally confirmed that this order was indeed sent by Saburo Shibuya.

The rescued object was a Japanese artillery captain named Morihou Ando, ​​who was wounded in a Soviet air raid and then captured.

Japanese officers captured in the Battle of the Khalakha River were sent to prisoner-of-war camps in Khabarovsk.

Generally, if an armistice agreement is reached after the war, both sides will exchange prisoners.

Low-level officers and ordinary soldiers will be exchanged back. These people will have a miserable fate when they return. Ordinary soldiers will retire directly and go home, and then all benefits will be cancelled. Officers will usually be persuaded to commit suicide by "seppuku" to thank the emperor.

This is the attitude of the Japanese army towards captured officers and soldiers, which is basically the same.

An artillery captain, whose rank is not very high, has a high probability that he can be exchanged back after the war, but it is hard to say whether he will be forced to commit suicide.

But Shibuya Saburo actually asked him to find a way to rescue such an artillery captain, which is too strange. Is the artillery captain more important than him, the top-secret intelligence Xiaozu lurking in the Far East?

He didn't think about it, if he was exposed, wouldn't all his previous arrangements be in vain?
Could it be that Captain Ando has a special identity?
This is the only reason that can be explained. Captain Ando's special status, he cannot fall into the hands of the Soviet army, otherwise there will be unpredictable consequences.

"How can this be helped? Where is our man, what does he look like, and, even if we find him, what if he doesn't believe us?" Zhou Sen said.

"That's right, I don't know why Chief Shibuya gave us such an order, it's not within the scope of our mission at all." Anna was also puzzled.

"Tomorrow at noon, you can ask about Captain Ando's physical characteristics, and how to win the other party's trust. After evaluating, you can decide whether you can accept this mission." Zhou Sen ordered.

"Okay, what if Chief Shibuya insists on our rescue mission?"

"Find someone first. This is not an easy task." Zhou Sen gave a headache. It is not difficult to find someone, but it is rare to make up a credible process.

Zhou Sen suddenly felt that this might be an excellent opportunity for him to leave Khabarovsk and return to the Ice City.

This is really sleepy sending a pillow.
