Time has entered August, and autumn is about to begin. The temperature in Khabarovsk has also dropped a bit, and the daytime temperature is less than 20 degrees.
Older people have to wear a vest under their coat.
In Khabarovsk, domestic news is relatively limited, and there are generally only sporadic news, and it is also quite lagging behind.
On May 6, Wang Zhaoming surrendered to the enemy and committed treason.
On June 16, the Sino-Soviet Friendship and Trade Agreement was signed in Moscow.
…
On July 24, Japan signed the "Arita-Krai Agreement" with the United Kingdom, known as the "Far East Munich" conspiracy...
Seeing that the return date is far away, Zhou Sen is naturally very depressed, although his current work is going very smoothly.
Not only Shibuya Saburo was satisfied, but Pishkov was also satisfied.
As far as being a spy is concerned, there are not many people in history who can compare with him.
But his heart is not there.
Every day when I don't have work, I carry a fishing rod and go fishing, passing the time in this wasted way. During this time, my fishing skills have improved a lot.
Also, Natasha always pulled him to help with operations. Although the number of operations in the First Hospital was not very large, some of the wounded on the Halaha River front line were transferred to the Khabarovsk Field Hospital.
Natasha was borrowed, and the amount of trauma surgery was still very large.
Zhou Sen also had no choice but to practice his "operating" skills with him, and now no one would believe him even if someone said that he was not a doctor at all.
He became a monk only halfway.
At first, I was just pretending, but I didn’t expect that I would actually become a famous doctor just by pretending.
Particularly complicated surgeries are not yet available for him, and of course, he does not dare to undergo them, but he can visit and study nearby.
I don't have to worry about many arts. My medical qualification in the United States is fake, but the certificate I took in the Soviet Union is real.
It can be said that as long as he wants, he can immediately obtain the qualification to study at Moscow University Medical School.
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 had to Anna. Although it would be safer for the two of them to control it separately, they were lurking on the "enemy" and almost had an accident. Anna is now a telegraph operator. As a translator and telegraph operator, he became a completely hands-off shopkeeper. He didn't ask about all the things he reported, even the small ones. Anna could report whatever she wanted. He took care of the big things and then studied how to fish.
Apart from taking the hunter to Helen's Bar in Vladivostok and giving him Walter's connections, he has never been to other places.
He wanted to go to Komsomolsk, but he couldn't find an excuse, so he had no choice but to give up.
Only the three hunters can connect the relationships on the roster one by one. The hunter now loses him in the total traffic.
Anna is usually responsible for contacting them.
Except for Khabarovsk and Vladivostok, the rest of the people on the "Troyin" project roster are liaison and responsible for the hunters.
This intelligence network has not been successfully constructed until now. Before, it was just dispersed and arranged to lurk and develop independently.
I only have occasional information exchanges and contacts with the people in charge in various places. Most of them live their own lives, no different from ordinary people.
This kind of reverse lurking operation is really not something ordinary people can do, and they have been doing it silently for more than ten years.
Therefore, you must be able to endure loneliness when doing intelligence work. If you are not patient and careful, don't do this job.
This was accomplished under the condition that the two elders, Pishkov and Veselov, deliberately let go of water. Otherwise, it would not have been so smooth.
However, this matter was done seamlessly. As long as the Intelligence Ministry and the Internal Affairs Bureau did not interfere, there would naturally be no difficulty.
…
"Steven, this is for you, be sure to pass the news back." At the end of the day, Natasha came to the riverside to find Zhou Sen who was fishing.
Zhou Sen glanced at the content on the note and showed a hint of surprise: "Is this news false?"
"No, it's true, but this force and equipment will not be used in the subsequent battle against Japan, but will be rotated and replenished."
"You are really insidious." Zhou Sen understood that with this information, there was no problem on the surface, but it would mislead the Japanese army into making wrong judgments, which was fatal.
The intelligence is true, but there is much more information behind it.
Under normal circumstances, before a war, the reinforcement of troops and equipment must be to prepare for the next battle, but the Soviets did not do this. In fact, they had already prepared for the attack. They would attack whether or not these troops and equipment were available. , and deliberately delayed the arrival of this batch of troops and equipment, and then sent the information back through him.
This is clearly to mislead the Japanese army into judging that it will not launch an attack before the equipment and soldiers arrive, while the Soviet army will attack in advance...
What is this if not insidious?
The intelligence is true, and Zhou Sen is not at any risk. He is only responsible for inquiring about the intelligence and delivering it, and is not responsible for analyzing the intelligence.
To analyze the content behind the intelligence, there is a dedicated combat staff, even if someone sees it in the future.
The responsibility doesn't lie with him either.
"What's the meaning?"
"You will launch an attack before this batch of equipment and troops arrive, so as to catch the Japanese army off guard?" Zhou Sen asked.
"how do you know?"
"Does this need to be said? Since the intelligence is true, it means that we are not afraid of the Japanese army knowing. Since we are not afraid of knowing, it must be making a fuss outside of the intelligence. Now both sides are preparing for the war. The Japanese army has been newly defeated and is taking the initiative to attack. The possibility is extremely small, so you will be the next active attacker. The offense and defense have been interchanged, and the Japanese army is in a defensive position. Then you must know the exact time of your attack, and at least have a rough judgment. Once I have this information, Send it out, the Japanese military staff department will definitely judge that the Soviet attack time 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 hadn't known that you had never left Khabarovsk, I would have thought that you had participated in the meeting where our combat plan was formulated." Natasha said. She knew this because Pishkov naturally told her.
If she hadn't needed to explain it to Zhou Sen, Pishkov probably wouldn't have told her this. After all, it was top secret and she had no authority to know.
However, Zhou Sen actually told such a top secret casually after reading the information, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"Where is the source of the intelligence?"
"Equipment and personnel are transported by railway, and trains need to be mobilized. This explanation should not be difficult." Natasha said, "You have people in the railway system. You can find out after a little inquiry."
"Yes, I understand." Zhou Sen nodded, and when he saw the gourd being dragged into the water, he quickly picked up the fishing rod.
A big white fish jumped out of the water, hooked by the hook that had been eaten into its stomach, and struggled to get back into the water.
But all this was in vain.
"Come home tonight, grilled fish that I cooked myself?" Zhou Sen was overjoyed. Now, he could add another dish in the evening.
"No, I don't like sharing a fish with other women." Natasha stood up and said.
"Haha..." Zhou Sen smiled and didn't care. It was best this way. He also wanted to test whether Natasha still wanted to give up on him.
"It's almost done. Don't be too greedy. I'm going back too." Zhou Sen also put away his fishing net bag and the horse bag, ready to go back.
He bought a bicycle, which would be more convenient in a small town like Khabarovsk. Compared to Natasha riding a car, it was much shabby.
…
"Did he really say that?" Pishkov said in surprise after hearing Natasha's report.
"Yes, he just took a look at the intelligence and asked me if the news was false. I said it was true, and then said that these personnel and weapons were for rotation and replenishment, and he guessed our intention. " Natasha explained.
"His keenness and sensitivity to intelligence are much better than ordinary people. Anthony has chosen a powerful successor!" Pishkov exclaimed.
"General, the mission is completed, I will take my leave now."
"Natasha, Steven is a talent. What do you think if we want to keep him?" Pishkov asked.
"I'm afraid not, he must be going back to Ice City."
"I mean, if you can keep him, that Masha, she is basically a spy trained by the Japanese, they are not a real couple?" Pishkov said.
Natasha's cheeks turned slightly red: "General, I have already failed once. If I am rejected again, I may not be able to see him again."
"Okay, I'm just suggesting that he is actually an orphan, and the white boss in Bingcheng is just his fiancée. It's still unclear whether they can be together," Pishkov said.
"General, I understand." Natasha could hear Pishkov's hint, but she also knew that Zhou Sen's heart was not in Khabarovsk, and it was useless to force him.
…
In the early morning of August 20, the Soviet army suddenly launched an attack while the frontline Japanese officers were returning to Hailar for a routine vacation.
The Japanese army's misjudgment of the date of the Soviet attack caused the defensive line built to be torn open by the Soviet army.
Immediately, the Soviet army was bombarded by heavy artillery, tanks and aircraft, and the Japanese army resisted desperately. After several days of fierce fighting, the 23rd Division was heavily surrounded by the Soviet army, and soon fell into a situation where it ran out of ammunition and food.
"Gene Era"
The Soviet army chose the timing of this attack extremely cleverly, and cleverly used the tactics of coordinated operations of large corps. It 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 intelligence passed back by Zhou Sen was also indispensable. Afterwards, the staff of the Kwantung Army and the staff of the Japanese 6th Army in Hailar unanimously concluded that the Soviet army had not 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 make it back in time.
Although the Japanese army fought bravely, tenaciously and not afraid of death, without the command of a large number of grassroots officers, the overall combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was greatly reduced. At the beginning of the Soviet attack, they failed to organize a timely and effective counterattack, and the situation was once out of control and chaotic. , resulting in the inability to organize an effective counterattack and heavy losses.
The defeat of the Kwantung Army has been determined.
