Age of Rebirth

The city of Khabarovsk in the Far East, because it became the headquarters of the Japanese Far East Campaign, has become more bustling and noisy, and today is no exception. Before late at night, the most famous "Ten Shengchuan Cuisine" in the city "Fang" tavern, it was already full of guests, and the few people who came from the opposite street quickly mixed in with the Japanese officers and staff coming and going.

These people are obviously tall, dressed in the military uniform of the Japanese Kwantung Army, carrying the dust of a long-distance march, and with the murderous aura brought from the battlefield, they are not conspicuous at the gate of the "Shishengchuan Restaurant" where military uniforms are everywhere. On the contrary, compared with the spotless Japanese soldiers in neat military uniforms, or the Japanese staff in suits and leather shoes with shiny hair, they have a more rustic taste, but the sturdy figure and murderous eyes are in the Among these Japanese, some are striking.

Maybe it's the smell of blood, or the dust that hasn't been washed away yet, but the few people mixed in with the Japanese attracted the straight-dressed Japanese officers and staff, who couldn't help but look sideways. What's more, it was exaggerated. He took out a snow-white handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose, for fear that the smell of these soldiers would affect his mood. Moreover, they also lowered their general caps and erected military uniforms full of mud spots. The collar of the coat covered most of his face.

The leader was a major officer. He walked to the grand entrance of the tavern, and looked up at the signboard hanging on the door. At this moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the two sides of the door were straight. Four waiters were standing there. Seeing these officers and soldiers who had just come down from the battlefield, they couldn't help showing arrogance in their eyes. Seeing that the major took the lead, they were about to go inside.

Two of the waiters stretched out their arms and stopped these people. "Gentlemen, this is the most upscale consumer place in Khabarovsk, not just anyone can get in, do you have a coupon and enough gold tickets?" One of the waiters asked in a bad manner.

"Invitation papers and gold tickets?" The major officer was taken aback, touched the pocket of his military uniform, shook his head and said, "Is there a single invitation paper, and few gold tickets? Don't you have the right to go in?" The tone was a little aggressive.With a questioning meaning.

The few waiters didn't like this at all, they rolled their eyes up, and didn't take the major's questioning to heart at all, the tone of one of the waiters.Even more impolite, "I'm sorry. Gentlemen. Please go back. The minimum consumption here is [-] yen per person! No matter who you are, don't come in if you don't have money, not even a major general!"

In other words, a few soldiers who had just survived the battlefield.Your pocket is cleaner than your face, and you want to go to such a high-end tavern to have fun, and you don't take a picture of your piss, and talk about you as a small sesame seed.The streets are full, even major generals and lieutenant generals, we have seen many of them!

One of the tall soldiers was angry at the time, and shouted loudly: "Baga—we fought bloody battles for the empire on the front line, fought the Soviets, and almost died. Could it be that we can't get a meal? Today, I and a few comrades in arms must go in!"

"Yo ho! Are there any faults? It's fresh——Since the opening of our ten Shengchuan restaurant, there have been a few unsightly things, but now they are still visiting the gendarmerie. Among them, there is a lieutenant officer , What’s the matter, should we get the hell out of here, or should we invite the gendarmerie over here!” The waiter with triangular eyes and a stern face, with his eyes slanted and contemptuous, cursed at once, not at all because of a few people with guns. The officers and soldiers who crossed the sword were cowardly.

The soldier was overjoyed, rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward, the major officer said in a low voice, "Enough, let's go!" Then, he glared fiercely at the waiters with their arms crossed and their necks crooked, with haughty faces, He led the soldiers away without looking back, and behind him, "Hahaha!" came a burst of presumptuous ridicule.

Several officers and soldiers walked to a dark corner, and the soldier who lost his temper suddenly whispered in Chinese: "Detachment Captain, what we found is not accurate, this is a tavern where senior Japanese officers often come and go. , You don’t just go in casually, but you also need to pay coupons and a minimum consumption, what the hell, when you came last time, you didn’t have such troubles? Detachment leader, what should we do?”

Borrowing the dim street lights on the street, I saw a familiar face. It was Colonel Chutian, the leader of the Special Warfare Detachment of the Independent Division. Major Okazaki, the head of the second class, and those ordinary Japanese soldiers dressed up were just a few members of the directly subordinate detachment. Lieutenant Colonel Qi Hanzhi, the leader of the special warfare detachment, was also inside, wearing a Kwantung Army lieutenant uniform.

Hearing what the team member in charge of monitoring the situation said, Qi Hanzhi became anxious, and said in a low voice, "Yu Zhimin, what did you guys do? The basic situation is unknown, and you are all veterans, and you still make such a low-level mistake?"

Chu Tian waved his hand to stop him: "Hanzhi, this is not a place to talk. Let's go back to the hidden place and try to find a way. The situation is not that simple. The hospitality ticket and money may not be the key to our inability to enter. Let's find out carefully." Move again!" Several figures quickly disappeared in the dark streets of Khabarovsk, a gust of wind blew past, raising dust all over the sky, and the night became more and more confused.

The Japanese military police who were whizzing by in the streets and alleys on three-wheeled motorcycles would never have imagined that the sharpest sword in the hands of Tang Qiuli, the commander of the Independent Division, and Colonel Chu Tian, ​​the leader of the Special Operations Detachment, They will come to their old lair, and they will also enter ordinary Japanese soldiers and junior officers. There is only envy and drooling, and there is no "Ten Shengchuan Restaurant" that does not have the guts and strength to enter?

Since Chutian and the special operations detachment received orders from their division commander Tang Qiuli to withdraw from the west side of the Ural Mountains and Tangnu Mountains, according to the division's orders, the special operations detachment was divided into groups of about ten people, and the mercury flooded the ground. In general, they spread to various areas in the Far East, went deep into the Japanese-occupied areas for reconnaissance, and found out all the movements of the Japanese troops in the Far East. Chu Tian and Qi Hanzhi, the chief of staff of the detachment, led a team. Military uniforms swaggered into the city of Khabarovsk.

This is where the headquarters of the Japanese Far East Campaign is located. It has naturally become Chutian's key reconnaissance target. As soon as he entered the city, Chutian knew from the streets and alleys that "Ten Shengchuan Restaurant" is in Khabarovsk and is famous. I also know that it is a place where senior Japanese military officers and senior staff, as well as officers of the Japanese Far East Campaign Headquarters, often gather, and Japanese military officers of the major general level come in and out from time to time.

In Chutian's eyes, this is undoubtedly a muddy pond with big fish hidden, so he wanted to enter it blatantly, looking for opportunities to fish in troubled waters, to see if he could meet a valuable tongue, and from the tongue's mouth, learn about the Japanese army in the Far East. For the latest trends, it is best to be a senior officer of the Japanese Far East Campaign Headquarters!

Before preparing to enter the "Ten Shengchuan Restaurant", Major Yu Zhimin, the captain of the first team directly under the special operations detachment, led two team members to check the basic situation in advance, so the scene just happened. , an accident happened, and they were stopped outside the door, and a new pattern of hospitality vouchers and minimum consumption appeared, which made Yu Zhimin and the others who were investigating the situation extremely ashamed. Make such an obvious mistake?

After returning to the temporary hiding place, Yu Zhimin walked up to Chu Tian and said in a low voice, "Detachment Captain, you punish me. It is because I did not complete the pre-reconnaissance mission that this operation failed!"

Chu Tian waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "What is the punishment? I have observed it. What you have detected should be correct. Japanese officers with a lower rank than mine entered without being blocked at all. I am afraid that the problem lies with us. on myself!"

"Detachment Captain, we are equipped with a full set of Japanese Kwantung Army equipment, and we are fluent in Japanese. There is no problem with our certificates. What's the problem?" Qi Hanzhi asked in confusion, with a gloomy tone in his tone.

Chu Tian thought about it and said: "Our identities are real. Before we entered Khabarovsk, we killed an action team of the Second Section of the Intelligence Department of the 130th Division of the Third Army of the Kwantung Army. The section leader Okazaki The appearance is similar to mine, so identity is not a problem, I think, is there something wrong with our dress?"

Qi Hanzhi looked at Chutian, then looked at himself, and suddenly realized: "Detachment Captain, I think there is a problem with what you said. Look, we are dressed in devil skin, as if we just ran away from the battlefield." It's the same when I came back, I look poor, by the way, didn't the devil waiter say that there is a minimum consumption, I'm afraid, those bastards are afraid that we have no money, so they stop us from entering!"

When Qi Hanzhi said this, the other team members couldn't help laughing when they saw the mud all over their bodies, the uniform of the Kwantung Army, which was extremely dirty. Son?

Chu Tian flashed his eyes and said: "The problem is clear, change the way of entering Shishengchuan Restaurant, Hanzhi, you bring two people and come back in a car, but be careful not to alert the Japanese army in the urban area , don’t startle the enemy, because a car caused the Japanese army in the urban area to step up their guard, as for how to do it, you have to figure out a way!”

Qi Hanzhi grinned, and replied: "Sure, captain, I'll find a way right away, but, captain, it's not enough to just have a car, and there is a minimum consumption. All eight of us will go in, and we have to eat and drink nothing. Eight thousand yen, but I don't have a penny in my pocket!"

"Puchi!" Chu Tian was delighted, "Isn't this nonsense, the operation of our special operations detachment, look at that man, he brought a lot of cash with him, all right, you go to buy a car, money, let me figure out a way? ’ he said.
