Chapter 3150: Manhunt in Progress

At Malashenko's command, and with the political commissar personally directing the execution, a city-wide manhunt immediately began in the main city.

When the fully armed and AK-wielding Leader Army soldiers just started to move, many people in the city who were on the sidelines of the Red Army were frightened at first.

Looking at the big fights of these old Russians, they subconsciously thought that they were going to rob and kill like the Japanese devils, but the facts soon proved that this was not the case.

"Ni Ni Hao, we are the Plastic Union Bombardment Army. Have you seen any Japanese?"

The Chinese learned at the last minute does sound bad, especially since Chinese is one of the most difficult languages ​​in the world, and it is difficult to write, speak, or understand the meaning.

So even though the Leader Army had already started to prepare early in the early battle preparation stage, selecting soldiers and commanders with sufficient knowledge reserves and high talent for foreign language learning from the grassroots troops to learn Chinese, the learning results after a few months were still somewhat unsatisfactory.

Not to mention writing, even speaking is not proficient.

The good news is that basic communication is not a big problem, and simple questions like this can still be dealt with.

The method of asking the soldiers to find local people to ask about the whereabouts of the Japanese was also proposed by the political commissar when he personally commanded the deployment.

The leading army, which came to the away game instead of the home game, was not familiar with the terrain in the city, while the Japanese who had been poisoning here for a long time were very familiar with it. It is difficult to achieve satisfactory results if you search aimlessly. Not only is it laborious, but it is also a waste of time.

Malashenko, who can only spare one day to do this, cannot wait too long. The time used to find the scattered Japanese devils and bring them to justice was exchanged for the rapid annihilation of the Japanese troops that blocked along the way. Malashenko, who has other important tasks, cannot lead his troops to stay for a long time.

Therefore, with the cooperation of the local people, it is undoubtedly the best way to quickly pull out the scattered Japanese devils.

After seeing that the Red Army really showed no mercy to the Japanese devils, and that the bodies of the devils carried out from the Japanese consulate alone were so numerous that they had to be transported by trucks.

The common people in the city who were telling each other about the situation immediately took action. Many times, before the soldiers of the Leader Army came forward to ask, the common people would spontaneously rush over and lead the soldiers of the Leader Army to find the hidden Japanese devils.

The various search teams of the Leader Army, which received further orders from the Political Commissar, also returned the favor.

Once valuable clues are found, regardless of whether the target is captured directly, a certain reward will be given to the person who provided the clues. And the direct distribution of food and daily necessities is the simplest, most practical and most understandable reward for the common people.

Since the day the army was formed, the Leader Army, which has never worried about supplies, has no shortage of various foods, not to mention that there are many supplies seized from various Japanese warehouses in the city.

The Kwantung Army, which had always used Harbin as a distribution center for frontline supplies, had long stockpiled a large amount of military supplies in the city in preparation for emergencies and protracted warfare.

As a result, protracted warfare could not be achieved, and such a huge amount of military supplies was not taken away or destroyed in time.

The leader army, which looked down on the enemy's rags, did not intend to take these things away together. Loading them would not only delay time but also waste precious transportation capacity, but it did not mean that these things were useless like garbage.

Using the Japanese devils' supplies as a reward to arrest the Japanese devils, the so-called "original soup into original food", in this way, it can be regarded as making the best use of them.

Although the quality of the Japanese canned food was really not good, the soldiers of the leader army shook their heads when they saw it, let alone eating it.

But this was based on the premise of the leader army's strong supply capacity. These canned foods of the Japanese army were still quite popular among local people.

After all, no matter how bad it was, it could fill the stomach and taste meat.

Looking at the reports of successful captures that kept coming in, and listening to the good news that kept coming in over the phone.

Malashenko, who had set up his temporary headquarters at the former site of the Soviet Consulate in the city, could not help but admire the political commissar who was still reviewing the reports that kept coming in at his desk.

"Okay, really! You have a way, otherwise I'd say you have to do this job, because catching Japanese devils is much more efficient than a cat catching a mouse."

The political commissar, who had long been accustomed to reviewing documents with one hand, first put down the pen in his hand, then closed the folder, picked up the revised report and handed it to the staff officer waiting on the side, and then turned to Malashenko beside him and smiled and replied.

"Fully mobilizing the local masses is the best and fastest way to deal with the current situation. Those militarist fanatics have been poisoning this land for a long time, and their heinous crimes are unpopular at all."

"From the perspective of the locals who are victims, based on their subjective emotional tendencies and the material rewards we provide, it is completely predictable what choices they will make under the dual effects."

"This is also what I have always emphasized. No matter when, where, and in what environment we fight, we cannot be separated from the general support of the combat area, or at least we must try our best to win such support. Once this cannot be achieved, the implementation of military deployment will encounter great obstacles and difficulties, otherwise it will be twice the result with half the effort and greatly improve efficiency."

"It was like this before in the European battlefield, and it is still the same now in the Far East battlefield. I think no matter how the war evolves or how the future military will develop, this is the only thing that will not change."

After listening to the political commissar's speech, he was quite impressed. Before Malashenko, who was about to say something, could speak, he was interrupted by a sudden report.

"Report to the commander, a search team has found a hidden detention center, where our comrades and more Chinese were found."

"Our comrades?"

Malashenko took the report and read it with a slightly puzzled expression, and asked as he read.

"How were they detained here? Have you figured out the source?"

Malashenko, who didn't have time to think about it, first concentrated on reading the detailed report in his hand. He never thought that the staff officer's answer would directly surprise Comrade Ma.

"They claimed that they were separated from the main force during the Battle of Nomonhan and were captured by the Japanese army. We are verifying their identity information. But some of the details they reported accurately correspond to the Battle of Nomonhan that year, so this is very likely to be true, Comrade Commander."
