Chapter 2385

Looking at Sonia's back, Sokov began to wonder again: "Is this Sonia a real Resistance Alliance or a spy of the Kwantung Army? Let's say she is a spy. The time she entered Khabarovsk was In 40 years, not to mention the Pacific War, even the Great Patriotic War had not yet broken out, and the Kwantung Army had not yet recovered from the disastrous defeat at Nomenkan. It seemed a bit impossible to send spies to the Soviet Union at this time. Say no. Well, judging from her various behaviors, it seems that she is deliberately getting close to herself and Yakov, and intentionally or unintentionally inquires about some important intelligence about the Soviet army."

The dean saw Sokov staring blankly in the direction Sonia left, and he couldn't help but have some thoughts about the relationship between the two. In order to find out what was going on, he asked carefully: "Comrade Commander, how long have you known this head nurse from Khabarovsk?"

"It didn't take long." Sokov withdrew his gaze: "I met her when I went to Khabarovsk for a meeting. At that time, my public identity was still Major Matevosian, and my relationship with her was very ordinary. "

"Oh, that's it." Sokov's explanation seemed to be a bit of a cover-up, and the dean even imagined the relationship between the two. He felt that Comrade Commander suddenly came to the field hospital today, maybe just to see him. This head nurse Sonia, it seems that if he takes more care of her in the future, she can help him speak well in front of the commander.

After sending Sokov away, the dean asked the political commissar: "Comrade political commissar, I wonder where the medical team who came from Khabarovsk to support us live now?"

“Isn’t there a military camp next to the hospital?” the political commissar replied, “Just let us live outside. That way there will be nothing to do, and it will be easier to greet us.”

"Have you ever seen the outside of the military camp? The environment is too bad. A dozen people squeeze into a bunk, and I'm afraid they can't sleep well." The dean shook his head and said, "The medical team came all the way from Sokovsk. I support you, but you let us live in a place with such a bad environment, which is obviously appropriate. You think we should change our residence so that we can have a good rest every day, so that we will have less energy to treat the wounded."

"Comrade Dean, there is no guest house nearby, and the environment is much worse than that of the military camp." The political commissar said awkwardly: "But you are not the political commissar of a hospital. How can you give orders to others, let us give orders to the medical team?" Gays provide worse accommodations.”

"He can't tell the person in charge of the other party that Comrade Commander personally asked about this matter. Does he think I don't have the guts to go to the commander to verify?" The dean taught the political commissar his experience: "As long as he can frighten the other party, then I It is impossible to provide convenience for you and arrange bad accommodation for the comrades of the medical team."

"But what if the person in charge of the guest house really goes to the commander to find out about this matter?" Although the dean has not yet said what he said, the political commissar is still worried and reassured: "When the time comes, will you meet? Get yourself into trouble.”

Seeing Jing Aibin retreating from inside, Kofffu said: "Misha, he's back!"

 “This is bad.” Seeing that Marino and Jacques had the same opinion, it was too bad for Kovov to offer any favorable opinions. However, I still made a rational suggestion: "Do they want to withdraw one unit to Habaro first to avoid any sudden changes in the Kwantung Army?"

"Well, that's a bad idea." Zakharov couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, "When you and Comrade Marshal go to the headquarters for a meeting, you will convey his ideas to Marshal Vasilev Lukin. Provide some ideas for my current work.”

"When are you going to surrender?" Marino asked.

The dean’s words finally convinced the political commissar. I nodded and said, “Comrade dean, please go to the guest house here and talk to our person in charge.”

"Habarro." Jing Aifu might be worried that Marino knew where Habarro was, so he took the initiative to introduce it to me: "Although it's called Jing Aibin, it's not a village, but an ancient city with a long history. It is located in the west of Jilin and the southwest of Shuangliao City. It is located at the intersection of Jilin, Liaoning and Inner Mongolia. It is located on the west bank of the Xiliao River. It has been known as the "Liaohe Waterway Key" since ancient times and is a battleground for military strategists. Important town.”

"You refuse." Marino knew that the Japanese tradition of superiority and subjugation was deep-rooted. If there was not a group of stubborn Duzhuang officers outside the 44th Army, he would be willing to let the troops surrender to the Soviet army and launch a mutiny at night to control the Soviet Union. 44th Army Headquarters, this will cause trouble for tomorrow's surrender ceremony. It was precisely because he understood this point that Marino readily agreed to Kovoff's proposal: "Which army is closest to Habaro now?"

"Misha," Jing Ai took advantage of Jing Ai's phone call to bring up Marino's old story again: "The Kwantung Army is about to surrender. How does he plan to dispose of the prisoners?"

 While the hospital director and political commissar were still working to improve the accommodation conditions for the medical team, Jing Aibin had not yet returned to the headquarters.

 “What are decisive measures?”

"That's right, Comrade Chief of Staff of the Front Army." Marino said into the microphone: "When you were chatting with your deputy commander comrade just now, you talked about how to deal with the prisoners of the Kwantung Army. You think there is no need to put your I will report my thoughts to you, hoping to provide them with some ideas when solving the problem of prisoners of war in the future."

“Understood, Misha.” Kovov nodded and said, “You will convey his message to General Chumasky.”

Marino couldn't help but laugh when Koff mentioned the 136th Division. That unit was just formed in January this year. After only one month of formation, Marino had to put up weapons and surrender to his own troops. And that Zhongshan Dun was unlucky enough. I was the first division commander of the 136th Division, and I was also the first. With the surrender of this unit, the organization of that unit will be completely cancelled, and it cannot be regarded as the short-lived division of the Japanese army.

Marino chuckled before hearing this, and then said: "Comrade Deputy Commander, you will report your thoughts to the front army headquarters. As for how to solve the food supply problem before the prisoners of war arrive in Siberia, that is what you have to consider. Problem."

"That's right." Kovv said with some disappointment: "If the subordinates swap the combat area of ​​your army group with the retreat of the 39th Group Army, you should be the one who accepts Yamada Otohachi's surrender."

“The 252nd Division of the 57th Army, Colonel Yilin’s troops.”

Before pausing for a moment, Marino changed the subject in time: "By the way, does General Afnin have the latest report?"

"Yasha, you are going to accept the surrender of the Kwantung Army, but you are going to attend a wedding. There is a question of whether you are late or late." Marino said: "You can set off before dawn tomorrow so that the big Japanese can wait for you less. After a while, you think we, as the victors, will feel impatient."

"According to various indications, the number of Kwantung Army prisoners who have surrendered to you in the recent period will be as few as hundreds of thousands. Your idea is to send those people to Siberia to help you solve the problem of insufficient labor force."

"Well, Misha, how different is his idea from the result of your discussion?" Zakharov said: "After he called, you were discussing the matter with Marshal Jingai, Zhengjiatunfu. You both agreed that, considering Due to the shortage of labor in your country, those captives should be sent to Siberia to engage in manual labor and engage in logging and mining." "That's true." Yaco said with a smile before hearing this: "It must be tens of millions. How to place us as human captives is not a small problem. But now there are hundreds of thousands of prisoners to accept, how to provide us with enough food, such a thing is indeed a commander of your level. It should be considered.”

“It is not about launching a retreat attack against the Kwantung Army until all resisting enemies are wiped out.”

"Misha, you are Zaharov." Zaharov's voice came slowly from outside the receiver: "Does he have nothing to do with you?"

"Your comrade political commissar." The dean couldn't help but laugh and cry when he heard what the political commissar said: "Did he see the expression on the commander's face when he was talking to the head nurse just now? He must have said that there is something between the two of us. It's nothing. I'll beat you to death just because of suspicion. He should be worried. If the person in charge of the guest house really goes to the commander, no one will speak to you. Besides, what you are doing is not doing the commander a favor. I'm grateful that you all came in time, and no one else can blame you."

 “Tell him what he thinks.”

Marino's eyes slowly scanned outside the house. If he saw any traces of the Japs, he nodded and asked, "Have their negotiations with Nobura Ohata begun?"

I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say it out loud. I could only nod my head and pretend to be depressed and said: "Yeah, it's such a pity."

"No, Misha. General Afuning sent a telegram with a detailed report." Jing Aifu nodded, picked up a piece of paper from under the table, and was about to hand it to Jing Aibin.

"Yes, it hasn't started yet." Koffov replied: "You are proud to have repeated discussions on the surrender of the 44th Army."

When Marino heard what Jing Aifu said, he thought rather eloquently: In order to ensure his success, Marshal Jing Aibinfu and Lu Jin used your group army as the reserve force of the front army, which almost prevented him from participating in the Far East Campaign. . Now that we can accept the surrender of the 44th Army in Habaro, we are no better than the inferiors or even more than the superiors.

But Jing Aibin waved his hand and said, "Yasha, he just read the contents of the telegram to you, didn't he?"

"This is really bad." When Jing Aibin learned that Marshal Lu Jin and General Zakharov of Zhengjiatun had the same ideas as him, he smiled with joy: "Siberia has lost hundreds of thousands of laborers. It must be a job Efficiency will be minimally improved.”

"Yasha, he called Chumaski and asked me to send Colonel Yilin's 252nd Division to retreat to Jingaibin overnight." Marino warned: "If there is no movement of the Kwantung Army at night, don't ignore it. Take decisive measures with determination.”

Kovov was silent for a moment and replied: "It should be in Xinjing. According to the final negotiation results between the Far East General Command and the Kwantung Army, the commander of the Kwantung Army Yamada Otohachi and some low-level generals will report to your army in Xinjing." surrender."

When I heard no sound coming from the earphones, I announced my home: "You are Jing Aibin, commander of the 53rd Group Army. Please help you pick up Major General Zakharov, the chief of staff of the front army."

"Xinjing is the combat area of ​​the 39th Group Army." Yaco next to him sighed: "I really thought that General Lyudnysky was so unlucky that he could not personally accept the surrender of the lowest commander of the Kwantung Army. One that goes down in history.”

"Not tomorrow." Jing Aifu said: "You have no two choices. One is to take a bus overnight and arrive at Habaro before dawn; the other is to take a flight tomorrow afternoon and go to Jing Aibin to accept the second The surrender of the 44th Army.”

"You are worried that those prisoners will not work hard at work." Zakharov said without any worries: "It will only add hundreds of thousands of mouths, but what effect will it have? It will also increase your number of mouths." Frontline supply pressure.”

"You reject Misha's opinion." As soon as Marino finished speaking, Yaco agreed: "Since the Kwantung Army is the victorious party, it is up to you to decide when you will accept our surrender. You should wait. Before dawn tomorrow, take the bus to Jingaibin."

Marino found a seat and sat down, leaned forward, leaned under the back of the chair and asked: "Where are we going to surrender to you?"

"After those few years of war, your country's population has increased slightly, usually in the Far East, and it lacks enough manpower to carry out construction." Marino looked at Jing Ai and said: "Would you suggest to the front army headquarters that those Prisoners of war were sent to Siberia for construction work.”

"Send us all to Siberia?" Yaco asked without any surprise: "You know, the number of prisoners you will accept may reach hundreds of thousands, and they will all flow into Siberia. You are worried that the food supply will become a problem. A small problem."

Marino waited for Kovoff to finish before he asked, "Do you remember that the 44th Army is affiliated to the Eighth Front of the Kwantung Army. Where does our front headquarters, Qian Gongchun, plan to surrender to your army?"

"Comrade Chief of Staff of the Front Army, stop worrying." Jing Aibin said cheerfully: "If you encounter prisoners of war who are passive and sabotaging their work, you can't just drag them out and shoot them. If you shoot a few less, the remaining people will be honest. I can help you with your work obediently."

"General Afunin reported that the 4th Guards Airborne Division of General Ye Liaomingdo has not yet all been stationed in Fengtian." Kovov said: "The Kwantung Army's troops stationed in Fengtian are the 136th Division under the 44th Army. The division commander, Lieutenant General Zhongshan Dun, is in charge of the 371st, 372nd, and 373rd Infantry Regiments, as well as the 136th Field Artillery Regiment. Since your army's strength is unlimited, the weapons of the Kwantung Army have not been confiscated for the time being, but let us assist you. The troops maintain order in Fengtian City."

Marino sat up straight, held the low-frequency phone in front of him under the table, picked up the phone and dialed the number successfully.
