Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli and Liu Tiehan returned to the room. Zhao Yuhe and Yang Ketian were busy working hard. The division commander and deputy division commander outlined the general direction of the campaign plan. The specific details are the job of the chief of staff. Yes, there is a huge amount of writing work, and two people can't finish all of it even if they work all night.

Tang Qiuli picked up the few pages in front of Zhao Yuhe, read them over, and said, "Yuhe and Ketian, stop what you're doing first. The plans for the Far East and Northeast campaigns need to be greatly revised, and specific revisions are needed." The part is in charge of Deputy Teacher Liu!"

Zhao Yuhe and Yang Ketian exchanged glances with each other, and they both saw the relief in their hearts. When the two chiefs of staff talked about the battle plan in detail, they also had a clear feeling. They wanted to sit around the Japanese army retreating south and return to the Far East. The two also exchanged opinions, and it always felt awkward. However, this was the tone set by the division commander, and Deputy Division Commander Liu did not object. The two staff officers It's not easy to completely overthrow it in the long run.

Now, if the division commander wants to revise the battle plan, he must be aware of the problems in it, "I just said, why did the division commander make such an obvious mistake?" Both of them thought to themselves.

Liu Tiehan quit and yelled: "Master, don't bring such a thing. You are the commander-in-chief of the campaign. Let me, my deputy, be in charge of revising the battle plan. It's not right!"

Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "Brother Tiehan, is it hard work for those who are capable? You have a clearer thinking than me about revising the battle plan. My main energy is to pay attention to the movements of the Japanese army in the Far East. I will divide the responsibilities. , each performing his duties!"

Liu Tiehan looked helpless, and Tang Qiuli said to Zhao Yuhe, "Yuhe. Send a telegram, ordering Yu Deshui, the director of the intelligence department in Beiping, and Shen Jun, the director of the investigation department, to use all channels. Find out the next move of the Japanese Far East Army? And the situation of the Japanese army in the Northeast?"

After pondering for a while, Tang Qiuli continued: "Also, send a telegram to ask Chutian about the special warfare detachment's deep-reaching into the Far East. What's the current situation of the Japanese army? Will they continue to withdraw southward? Or are there other actions?"

After instructing Zhao Yuhe, Tang Qiuli said to Ge Zhenzhuang, the chief of the division's staff department: "Director Ge, select a few capable staff officers to deal with the information collected by the intelligence department, investigation department, and special warfare detachment. All information on the movements of the Japanese troops in the region and the situation of the Japanese troops in the Northeast. They are directly responsible to me, and they can be reported to me at any time!"

Top secret telegram.Yu Deshui and Shen Jun, the leaders of the Intelligence Division and Investigation Division, which had been withdrawn to Peiping a long time ago, immediately started to get busy, issuing orders from their respective headquarters. The Intelligence Division and Investigation Division of the Independent Division .The huge intelligence network that spread all over Northeast China and the Far East began to operate efficiently.

Soon, there was a steady stream of information gathered in Chita, the headquarters of the independent division.However, these intelligences, without exception, provided basically similar information, "According to investigations, the Japanese Kwantung Army troops are in the direction of Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk, the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Army troops are at the western foot of the Brea Mountains, Japan and North Korea. The garrison troops are still on their way to the south at the eastern foot of the Kukan Mountains, but the marching speed is not fast!"

Putting down the information carefully sorted out by the staff officers, Tang Qiuli frowned, with a heavy expression on his face, and asked Ge Zhenzhuang, the chief of staff, "Director Ge, it's just the information from the intelligence department and the investigation department, what about the special warfare detachment? Chutian didn't Any information coming?"

Ge Zhenzhuang shook his head, and replied: "Report to the commander, I checked carefully, and there is no information on the special warfare detachment!"

Tang Qiuli stood up and walked to the window. The night outside the window was thick, and the wind picked up, blowing the tall pine tree in front of the building, its branches dancing aimlessly, and making a sharp whistling sound, "Chutian—what are you doing? "He thought with a heavy heart.

In Khabarovsk in the early spring night, the chilly wind from the Sea of ​​Okhotsk whistled unscrupulously through the streets and alleys. The sparse street lamps emitted a dim yellow light. Few pedestrians could be seen on the street. Pedestrians passing by occasionally shrunk their necks, lowered their heads and walked quickly, making the city under the night more desolate and empty. This was originally the largest city in the Far East of the Soviet Union. Since it was occupied by the Japanese army, It became more and more depressed and deserted.

On the street, from time to time there are three-wheeled motorcycles of the heavily armed Japanese military police patrol team, lining up in a line, with dazzling headlights, roaring past, and there are only a few pedestrians, if they see fierce tigers and beasts, they will hurry up On the wall of the shop facing the street, I watched in horror as the Japanese army patrolled the motorcycle team, which rolled up a cloud of dust and drove away, leaving behind a pungent gasoline smell.

The only ones who dared to run amok on the street were drunk Japanese ronin, or a few Japanese employees and traitors in casual Japanese military uniforms with their coquettish sisters in their arms. Khabarovsk was their world.

On a main street, it showed a bustle different from other deserted places. A row of three-story buildings with Japanese lanterns hung at the door. In and out, many cars were heard in the open space at the door, and there were bursts of noise from the building, wanton laughter, and a woman's soft and soft voice.

A gust of night wind blows, and there is a tangy aroma of wine and meat. Moreover, at the gate, there are four heavily armed Japanese military police standing guard. Here is the largest tavern in Khabarovsk, "Ten Shengchuan Restaurant, "Pure Japanese style. It is said that the owner of the tavern, Tomorikawa Hisada, is a guy with a very good background. He is a close friend with Major General Nanmura Ichiro, the commander of the Khabarovsk City Police in Japan!

However, according to people who know more about the inside story, the relationship between the two people is not just that simple, it is a brother-in-law relationship. However, the two share a wife. Mr. Oshima Kato, the mayor of Rovsk, is a close friend of his classmate. It is said that the line of Mr. Oshima Kato, the mayor, was also connected by Tomorikawa Hisada, the powerful wife.

With such a solid background, such a deep military and political background, the boss Toshikawa Hisada, whose hat is as green as a tortoise shell, can naturally walk around in Khabarovsk. , all kinds of people, big and small, never dared to trouble the tavern, on the contrary, they would come to join in from time to time, and spend a lot of money just to get acquainted with the legendary owner Mr. Tomorikawa Hisada.

If that blind guy dares to eat overlord meals in the tavern, or is extorting money, using alcohol to make trouble, deliberately looking for trouble, the boss, Mr. Shi Shengchuan Hisada, will make a very calm call, within a few minutes, the prison car of the gendarmerie I will be there soon, and I will definitely invite that blind guy to the gendarmerie to drink chili water and sit on the tiger stool!

Therefore, "Ten Shengchuan Restaurant" is well-known in Khabarovsk, and it is also a high-end place for Japanese consumption and communication. The people who come in and out are all famous figures in the city, as well as senior officers of the garrison. Still, you have to have money in your pocket, because "Ten Shengchuan Restaurant" not only cooks authentic Japanese food, but the waitresses are also beautiful girls from Japan from Qingyishui. Of course, they also have Another profession uses its own resources from time to time to earn some extra money.

Mr. Shi Shengchuan Hisada, the boss, is most proud of that a few months ago, he was very honored to entertain His Majesty the Emperor's younger brother, the chief of the general staff of the base camp and the commander-in-chief of the Far East Campaign. Jiu Tian bowed to Prince Zai Ren. A large photo of Prince Zai Ren with a smile on his face hung in the middle of the tavern lobby, becoming the treasure of the store. The owner Shi Sheng Chuan Jiu Tian would kiss ** every day and pray devoutly!

It is said that His Royal Highness Prince Zairen is full of praise for the food here, calling it "the most authentic Japanese-style tavern in the Far East apart from the local area!" Of course, as for the beautiful and enchanting waitresses here, whether they also taste it together? , is how to evaluate, it is unknown?

Of course, the signboard of "Ten Shengchuan Restaurant" is not only authentic Japanese cuisine and enchanting Japanese girls, but also a trump card. The owner, Ten Shengchuan Hisada, has collected the "disastrous water" level Belarusian food through various means. The women are all aristocrats in the former Tsarist Russia period. During the red storm of the Bolshevik Party, their families were ruined, they were kicked out, and they were exiled to the Far East to beg for a living. Compared with the Japanese waitresses, they are even more exotic. .

Such a tavern with wine and beauty, behind = background, and deep roots, will not be famous if you don’t want to be famous. It is also a place frequented by the Japanese military and government officials stationed in Khabarovsk. In any private room, hugging White Russian hostesses or Japanese hostesses, Japanese men with pig-like faces, can cause some disturbances in the Far East. Since the headquarters of the Japanese Far East Campaign was established here, only those who entered and exited the "Ten Shengchuan Restaurant" There are many more senior Japanese military officers with high ranks.

No matter how bloody and bloody the battlefield is, the "Ten Shengchuan Restaurant" is still booming in business, singing wine and drinking money, but recently, it has been rumored that the imperial army of the Imperial Japanese Army in the Far East battlefield was besieging the Soviet Far East Front Army. What an advantage, among them, the Imperial Kwantung Army troops are about to withdraw to Manchuria via Khabarovsk, so, among the drinkers, there are more topics to talk about.

Of course, what the drinkers are talking about is by no means the imperial army’s failure to return home, but the Kwantung Army troops who have fought in the Far East for many years and returned with honor. Every officer and soldier has a lot of money in their pockets. golden ticket.

Just as the night wind was picking up and the night in Khabarovsk was getting darker, a few Japanese soldiers walked up the street opposite the "Ten Shengchuan Restaurant" where the neon lights were flickering and the crowds were busy.
