Yakov next to him asked in surprise: "You just need to tell me where Yoshio Hongo is now?"
"We did not set up a temporary prisoner of war camp where he and his men were kept."
"Bring him over immediately." After Sokov said this, he immediately thought that although Yoshio Hongo was the commander of the 44th Army, he might not personally intervene in many things. To understand specific things, it is better to
He could only go to his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Nobura Obata, and quickly added: "It's best to bring his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Nobura Obata, too."
Although Yakov did not understand Sokov's purpose of doing this, he still walked aside, picked up a phone, notified the person in charge of the prisoner of war camp, and sent several soldiers to bring Yoshio Hongo and Nobura Obata to the headquarters.
Said that Sokov had something important to see them.
When Yoshio Hongo and Nobura Obata were taken out of their residence, they were both frightened because when they massacred the anti-Union fighters before, they wanted to execute them at night. So when they saw the Soviet guard, they said they would take two
When people went out, the two of them naturally thought that they might also be sent to the execution ground.
As they followed the Soviet soldiers out, the two of them were secretly upset. If they had known that they would die, it would be better to commit seppuku during the day. That would be a decent way to die, and it would be better than being dragged to the execution ground and shot.
The two were put into a jeep and drove towards the headquarters.
On the way, Hongo Yoshio whispered to Obata Nobuira: "Obata-kun, I really didn't expect that we just surrendered to the Russians in humiliation during the day, and they would shoot us at night. If we had known this, we should have disobeyed the orders of our superiors.
Let the troops continue to resist the Russian attack, even if they fail in the end, they will shed more blood."
"Hey, it's too late to say this now." Obata Nobuira said helplessly: "If I had known that I would be shot by the Russians overnight, I might as well have committed seppuku after the surrender ceremony in the daytime to maintain the final hope.
Decent." After saying that, he started to sigh.
The Soviet officer sitting in the front passenger seat couldn't help but sneered when he heard the two chattering incessantly.
The driver who was driving heard the officer sneer and asked quickly: "Comrade Captain, why are you laughing?"
The officer was the accompanying translator. He knew that Yoshio Hongo and Nobata Nobira could not understand Russian, so he said without any scruples: "It's really funny. General Yakov, the chief of staff of the group army, called and said that these two
The leader of the little devil was brought to the headquarters for interrogation. Who would have thought that the two of them had been discussing how to die. Do they really think that we called them out in the middle of the night just to send them to the execution ground?"
The driver laughed after hearing this and asked: "Comrade Captain, are you really not going to shoot them?"
"Shoot? How is that possible?" the officer said: "If they had just surrendered to us during the day and shot their commander at night, I am afraid that the remaining Kwantung Army, which is still resisting, would become even more stubborn after knowing about it. If they want to kill
If they are completely eliminated, we will pay an even heavier price."
The car came to a stop in front of the temporary headquarters. The officer got out, opened the rear door, and said coldly to the two of them: "We're here, get out of the car!"
Obata Nobira poked his head out first and carefully observed the surrounding environment. He found that this seemed to be a headquarters of the Soviet army. He turned to Yoshio Hongo and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, this seems to be a headquarters of the Russians."
, maybe their commander wanted to interrogate us first, and then drag us out and shoot us."
Yoshio Hongo waited for Nobata Nobuira to get out of the car, tidied up his military appearance, and then stepped out of the jeep. Together with Nobura Obata, he followed the officer and walked towards the tent.
"Report to Comrade Commander, Comrade Chief of Staff." After the officer entered the tent, he raised his hand and saluted Sokov and Yakov inside: "I have brought Yoshio Hongo and Nobura Obata, please give instructions!
"
"Bring them in," Sokov said.
The officer agreed, walked out of the tent, and brought in Hongo Yoshio and Obata Nobuira.
Seeing Sokov standing in the room, Yoshio Hongo was a little surprised. He quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said respectfully: "General Sokov, we meet again. I really didn't expect that the person who sent us on our way in the end
It's you. If you die in the hands of a strong man, even if we die, we will have no regrets."
After listening to the officer's translation, Sokov couldn't help but frowned: "What nonsense? What did you say to them when you brought them here?"
Hearing Sokov's question, the officer said innocently: "Comrade Commander, I just told them that you have something urgent to see them. Who knows what misunderstanding they may have had, and they were discussing something along the way.
The most dignified way to die is."
Yakov was also confused. He came over and asked Sokov: "Misha, what kind of riddle are you playing? Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen to it."
Sokov explained to Yakov: "Yasha, as far as I know, when the Kwantung Army killed those anti-alliance fighters, they often chose to do so at night. So much so that we found Hongo Yoshio and Obata Nobuira in the middle of the night.
, making them mistakenly think that we were going to shoot them, which caused them to think wildly."
Sokov turned to the officer and said: "Tell them two that I called them here to ask them something, and I will send them back immediately after asking them."
Knowing that the typhoid outbreak was deliberately spread, Sokov kept wondering where the virus came from. 731 This devil army is stationed in Harbin, more than 500 kilometers away from Fengtian, with Xinjing in between.
It is obviously unrealistic to spread the virus. There is indeed a bacterial laboratory in Xinjing, designated as the 100th Unit of the Kwantung Army, and it is advertised as the Department of Animal Epidemic Prevention, but they are hundreds of kilometers away from here, so it seems that it is not possible to spread the virus.
It was not very realistic. He called the two of them over just to find out if there was any unit called the Department of Epidemic Prevention or Prevention nearby, so that he could figure out the source of the typhoid virus.
Sokov, who was eager to know the answer, did not talk nonsense to the two to comfort them, but asked straight to the point: "Let me ask you, are there any departments near Fengtian with the designation of 'Water Supply Department', 'Epidemic Prevention Department' or 'Prevention Department'?"
Ministry's troops?"
Hearing Sokov's question, Yoshio Hongo and Nobura Obata couldn't help but were stunned. Then they looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes. Then they shook their heads in unison and asked in unison:
"No!"
"How could it not be?" Based on his own experience, Sokov said that if he wanted to drop the typhoid virus so accurately into the area where his troops arrived, the location of the bacteria laboratory should not be far away. At this moment, he heard both of them saying that it was nearby
There was no such organization, and Sokov couldn't help but become a little anxious: "I heard that there is Unit 731 in Harbin, and there is Unit 100 of the Kwantung Army in Xinjing. How could you not have one here?"
Facing the angry Sokov, Yoshio Hongo felt guilty for a while. He turned to ask Obata Nobuira: "Obata-kun, is it really true?"
"Really not, Your Excellency, Commander." Obata Nobuyoshi said firmly: "I can guarantee with my own life that there is absolutely no such troop near Xinjing."
Sokov carefully observed the facial expressions of the two men and found that they did not look like they were telling lies. He waved his hands at the officer and said: "Okay, Comrade Captain, I have finished asking them both.
Take it back."
Hearing the officer say that he was taking him away, Yoshio Hongo thought that his last moment had come, so he bowed to Sokov again and said in a sincere tone: "Your Excellency, General Sokov, I am a senior officer of the empire.
Being shot is a disgrace, and I wonder if you would allow me to die an honorable death, such as committing seppuku."
After listening to the officer's translation, Sokov was too lazy to explain to Hongo Yoshio. He just urged the officer: "What are you still doing here? Why don't you take them two away quickly?"
After Hongo Yoshio and Obata Nobuira were pushed out of the tent, they found that no soldiers came to tie them up, but the officer who brought them here urged them to get into the car. Hongo Yoshio asked cautiously: "I don't know what to bring?"
where are we going?"
"Where else can we go?" the officer said angrily: "Of course, you can go back to where you came from. After you go back, you can wash up and sleep."
Hongo Yoshio asked in confusion: "Aren't we going to be shot?"
"Who said we were going to shoot you? Our commander called you here just to ask a few questions. Now that the questions have been asked, he will naturally let you go back." After saying that, he couldn't help but push the two of them into the car.
Then he closed the car door forcefully.
After learning that they did not have to die, Yoshio Hongo and Nobura Obata couldn't help crying with joy. They clasped their hands together and thanked their gods in their hearts for allowing them to escape death.
But Sokov, who was staying in the tent, was thinking about something. According to real historical records, after the sacrifice of Commander Yang of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, his head was cut off by the Japs and soaked in formalin in a bottle.
.Now this bottle is kept in the basement of Xinjing Medical College. If he controlled this city, he would not hesitate to order General Afuning to send men to find the bottle containing Commander Yang’s head and secure it properly.
To manage.
But now it was Lyudnikov's troops who occupied Xinjing. Even if he had a good relationship with him, it might not be appropriate to ask him to help him find Commander Yang's head and keep it safe. Thinking of this, he left
When he arrived at the door of the tent, he said to Bezikov who was standing outside: "Major, you go find Captain Feng from the International Brigade and tell him that I have important matters to see him."
Bezikov learned that Sokov had important matters to see Captain Feng. Without saying a word, he trotted towards the place where the movie was shown, preparing to have Captain Feng report as soon as possible.
At this time in the tent, Yakov asked Sokov strangely: "Misha, why did you ask Captain Feng to come here? Now that the Kwantung Army has laid down its weapons and surrendered, we have nothing that requires his intervention."
"Yasha, when Captain Feng comes, you will understand that there is really no one more suitable for this matter except him."
A quarter of an hour later, Captain Feng, led by Bezikov, came to the tent. After raising his hand to salute Sokov and Yakov, he said: "Commander, Chief of Staff, I have been ordered to come. I am waiting for you."
Order, please give instructions!"
"Please rest a moment!" Sokov looked at Captain Feng and said, "I remember you told me before that the person you admire most is Commander Yang of your resistance alliance."
"Yes, Comrade Commander, I did say this." Captain Feng looked at Sokov with some confusion and muttered to himself: "Could he have called me here just to ask me who I admire?
, is it Commander Yang?"
"Captain Feng, I got a piece of gossip." Sokov said: "After Commander Yang died, the little devil cut off his head, soaked it in a bottle with formalin, and took it to exhibitions everywhere, trying to
In this way, they will frighten the soldiers and civilians who oppose them..."
"Damn little devil." When Captain Feng heard this, he punched the table and cursed indiscriminately: "I'm going to fuck your grandma."
Captain Feng's performance had long been expected by Sokov. After he waited for the other party's mood to stabilize a little, he said: "Captain Feng, I haven't finished speaking yet. According to reliable intelligence, the little devil took Commander Yang
His head is stored in the basement of Xinjing Medical College. I am giving you a task now, which is to lead people to find Commander Yang’s head and keep it properly. When the time is right, let him be buried in peace."
Hearing what Sokov said, Captain Feng's breathing became rapid: "Comrade Commander, when will I go to Xinjing?"
"Early tomorrow morning." Sokov said to Captain Feng: "In order to ensure safety along the way, in addition to your original subordinates, I will send you another guard platoon to drive to Xinjing." In order to dispel the other party's concerns,
He also specifically emphasized, "The troops occupying Xinjing are General Lyudnikov's 39th Army. General Lyudnikov and I have some friendship. I will give him a call later and wait for you to arrive.
After Xinjing, let him send out manpower to fully assist you in your work."
"Comrade Commander," Captain Feng waited for Sokov to finish, stood at attention, saluted him with a solemn military salute, and said clearly: "On behalf of Commander Yang, on behalf of those Anti-Japanese Alliance soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield,
Soldiers, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you."
Sokov nodded and said to Captain Feng: "You go back first to gather people and set off after dawn. Although the little Japs have surrendered, these cities are not yet completely under the control of our army. If someone takes the opportunity to cause damage and destroy
What you are looking for will make us regret it for the rest of our lives. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Comrade Commander." Captain Feng nodded vigorously and said, "I will go back to gather people and get ready to go. Early tomorrow morning, I will rush to Xinjing to look for Commander Yang's head.
"Comrade Commander, I would like to express my gratitude to you again for everything you have done for us."
