Chapter 367: Confession
Xiaobao stopped when he heard the first gunshot and listened intently.
When he heard two more gunshots, he began to run for his life. He didn't know what was going on behind him. Perhaps it was Fushimi Kiyoshi that they were discovered by the Soviet army, and the two sides were already on fire.
The more anxious the better, the worse things are, and Xiaobao starts to fall on the ice while speeding up.
The remaining forty miles of road, Xiaobao ran down with the top handle. Twice as long as when four people came.
When Xiaobao ran to Raj, he fell all over his body and was bruised and purple. He didn't stop to rest, and it wasn't safe here. It is also normal for the Soviet Union to rush across the border to arrest people.
He grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. Climb the embankment and walk in the direction of Kitano Bridge.
It was the third child's home, and it was also the place where he and Ryosuke Hamaguchi connected with Fushimi Kiyoshi. If Fushimi Kiyoshi and the third child can escape, they will definitely come back here. If they can't come back, it must be a bad luck.
There are still sixty miles from Catchy Ji to Nongqiao. The road is not easy to walk, at least seven or eight hours of walking. But Xiaobao's stomach is now rumbling. It is difficult to find a family here, and even if you do, you are afraid of the wolf with a hemp pole. It's better not to get into trouble as much as possible.
Xiaobao gritted his teeth and endured hunger and walked north.
After walking for two hours, the eastern sky appeared white. It's about to dawn. It seems that at noon, Xiaobao will be able to rush back to the third child's house.
Po peels through the snow and finds a few hazelnuts under the bushes. It's a pity that each one has insect eyes on it. I had to throw it again.
It seems that I can only starve to the third child's house to cushion my stomach.
At noon, the third wife's wife was sitting cross-legged on the kang with the soles of her shoes, when she heard a clang. She hurriedly pulled her shoes and went down to the kang to look.
I saw a man covered in snow, with a dogskin hat and frost on his eyebrows, pushing the door open and walking in.
She looked at it for a long time before she recognized that this person was the kid surnamed Qian who had left with her husband and Fushimi Kiyoshi a few days ago.
After Xiaobao came in, he didn't go to see the wife of the third child who came out. His eyes kept glancing around the kitchen. Then he ran over and took out a sticky bean bag from the clay pot and nibbled on it in his mouth.
"It was prepared to be eaten in the evening. It's still frozen. The third wife's wife said.
"Sister-in-law, hurry up and heat up. I'm so hungry. Xiaobao said vaguely.
"Okay, I'll cook right away. You wait a minute. Why didn't that dead ghost and Fushimi Kiyoshi come back from our family? The third wife's wife asked as she added water to the cauldron.
"They're lagging behind. Will be back in another hour or two. Xiaobao replied.
The third wife's wife then put her mind at ease and started cooking.
Xiaobao moved his two legs into the inner room and sat on the edge of the kang, holding a frozen sticky bean bag in his hand and gnawing on it.
After walking for more than ten hours, his thighs and buttocks began to hurt. Ula shoes and feet were also frozen together, cold, painful and itchy.
Xiaobao plucked the Ula shoes from his feet and put them on the kang to dry. You can't stay here long, it's best to leave after eating.
In a few moments, the meal was ready.
The third wife's wife came in with two large bowls. In one bowl are a few sticky bean buns, and in the other bowl are sauerkraut stewed vermicelli. The rest is still hot in the pot, and I will eat it when my man and Fushimi Kiyoshi come back.
Xiaobao was like a starving ghost reincarnated, snoring and eating heavily. From time to time, I was choked by sticky bean buns and rolled my eyes.
The third child's wife watched Xiaobao eat and looked out of the window from time to time. I don't know when the few remaining people will return.
Due to the cooking fire, the kang burned very hot. Xiaobao's Wula shoes on the kang emitted a smell of stinky salted fish. made the third wife's nose snort.
After eating all the sticky bean buns, Xiaobao picked up the bowl and drank a few mouthfuls of vegetable soup. Xiaobao's stomach was warm, and only then did he feel relieved.
The pistol has been freezing outside for a day and is prone to problems when it comes back to the house. Xiaobao pulled out the two pistols and pulled the cartridge to check it, and then it appeared and inserted it back.
"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid if you listen to what I said. I was at the front and heard gunshots behind me. It may be that your eldest brother and Fushimi Kiyoshi are on fire with the Soviets. I don't know what the situation is. Xiaobao said as he put the Ula shoes on his feet and put them on.
The third wife's wife listened so stupidly, and her head went blank. When she woke up and wanted to ask a few more questions, Xiaobao had already pushed open the door and walked back into the snowstorm.
Xiaobao took a few steps and then stopped. It was only forty miles from here to the Fuyuan liaison station, but he felt that it was not safe to be too close to the Soviet-controlled area. Especially when he has drawings on him. It's better to go back the way you came.
Further west is the defense area of the 10th Division. If you can meet the Japanese, let them send them to Jiamusi or Fujin.
After this major operation of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army, it was time for the Soviet fortress to be rearranged. The drawings he carried in his arms were of little use to the Kwantung military, but they were very useful to him. This is ironclad evidence that he and Ryosuke Hamaguchi, who has been martyred in the wolf's mouth, forgot his life and died to carry out his mission.
A day later, Xiaobao was sent by car by the 10th Division to the Jiamusi branch of the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army.
Seio Nishihara, the head of the Jiamusi branch, immediately summoned Xiaobao.
Within the scope of the Jiamusi branch, this time there were a total of three intelligence teams to carry out the investigation of the Soviet fortress. Xiaobao was the first to come back.
Xiaobao took out the drawings from his pocket and handed them to Seio Nishihara and said, "Ryosuke Hamaguchi has been martyred." Fushimi Kiyoshi and his informant at the Fuyuan liaison station may also have had an accident. ”
"Ryosuke Hamaguchi was martyred? Did you see it with your own eyes? Seio Nishihara asked in surprise. He knew Ryosuke Hamaguchi's family background and background. I don't know what Ryosuke Hamaguchi's death thinks about some big people in Tokyo who are close to Ryosuke Hamaguchi's father.
"On our mission, we encountered wolves. Lieutenant Hamaguchi ......" said Xiaobao half-truthfully.
Seio Nishihara's questioning of Xiaobao lasted for more than two hours. He asked very carefully, and he did not let go of every detail from the departure to the return.
Xiaobao basically answered truthfully. At most, there is one lie in a hundred words.
Seio Nishihara carefully looked at the distribution map of the fortress brought back by Xiaobao. He could be sure that it should have been drawn by Ryosuke Hamaguchi himself.
Although there are dead people, after all, the mission is completed.
"Xiao Baojun, I've already arranged it. You go to rest. I'm going to report these things to Headquarters. You'd better not go anywhere these days, just stay in the branch. After saying that, Seio Nishihara turned around and walked out.
