"Old Ai, is this the material warehouse you are talking about?" Tang Cheng handed the telescope to Albert with a gloomy face, and motioned to the equally disgraced Albert to use the telescope to see by himself. Albert, who did not know what was going on, took the telescope from Tang Cheng.
Looking through the telescope delivered by the city to the slope in front, the slope that was supposed to be the material warehouse was already devastated, and the two trees at the entrance of the warehouse had also been burned into black wooden piles.
"Tang, I assure you that what I said is true. This place was originally a warehouse for storing supplies. I don't know why it became like this." Albert chased Tang Cheng to explain, but
However, Tang Cheng ignored Albert at all and just summoned Hou San and others to discuss the matter. "Mark, you and I come over and have a look. I want to prove to Tang that I didn't lie to him." There was no way to prove myself.
Albert also became stubborn and immediately ran towards the ashes-filled slope with one of his soldiers.
"Ignore them, I really want to see how this old Ai will prove himself." After receiving the report, Tang Cheng did not stop Albert. He just glanced at Albert's leaving back from a distance and ignored him. In fact,
They couldn't blame Tang Cheng for getting angry. In order to speed up the march, Tang Cheng and the others, who had returned to a small team of more than a dozen people, had abandoned most of their weapons, including light machine guns, on the battlefield. If they couldn't find what Albert said
The warehouse was replenished with weapons and ammunition. When they encountered the Japanese army again, Tangcheng and the others were afraid that they might not even have the possibility to fight back.
Tang Cheng had never really believed in Albert in his heart, and at this time, Albert was secretly cursing Tang Cheng in his heart for not believing in him. Climbing up the ashes-filled hillside, Albert took Mark with him.
After a while, they reached the hillside. After observing with binoculars that there was no danger, Albert and Mark carefully moved to the two wooden piles. The wooden piles were originally two trees planted outside the warehouse. Albert and Mark
Based on this, it moved forward 15 meters and then stopped. This should be the original center position of the warehouse.
"Mark, you dig from the left and I dig from the right. This warehouse has a basement. As long as I can find the basement, I want Don to apologize to me." It is a British habit to build basements, especially small ones like this in the colonies.
The warehouse even exists in the basement. Although Albert is just an ordinary captain, he has also heard Henry talk about this. The tools for digging are only two bayonets. This is the only self-defense weapon that Tangcheng decided to discard guns and ammunition and kept in large quantities.
After all, the bayonet is not as good as the engineer's shovel, but it is still better than digging like a savage using stone chips and wooden sticks.
Tang Cheng, who stayed where he was, had been watching from a distance. Albert, who was sweating profusely, was also holding back his strength and digging holes in the ashes with his bayonet. Mark, who knew that he was being implicated, could only grit his teeth and pretend to know nothing.
"Sir, look, Lao Ai is jumping and shouting above. Could this guy have lost his mind and gone crazy?" Tang Cheng, who was looking down at the map, was slapped by Tan Fei beside him, and then turned to face the slope.
Looking at it, sure enough, Albert and the British soldier named Mark were jumping and shouting in the ashes.
"Go up and have a look. Lao Ai may have found something." Tang Cheng looked through the binoculars and saw a tin can in Albert's dark hand. The large group of people immediately rushed up the slope, only to
Albert and Mark, who were jumping and shouting like crazy just now, were now sitting beside a dug earth hole and chewing on the cans in their hands. They didn't care about the black ash on their hands and bayonets.
, Albert and Mark ate very happily, especially when they saw Tangcheng, Albert felt a little proud.
Albert and Mark, who seemed to be starved of food, each held a box of canned meat and squatted on the edge of the basement, eating happily. When they saw Tang Cheng and the others, Albert stood up calmly and raised his hand with the sleeves of his tattered military uniform.
Wiping the grease stains on his mouth, "Tang, you must apologize to me. I have found the basement, including food, military uniforms, firearms and ammunition, and medicines. You can send someone down to take inventory."
"Get out of the way, get out of the way." Hou San stretched out his hand to push away Albert, who was still talking to himself, and entered the basement alone with his black and gray hair. Zhao Liang and Tan Fei followed him in. "Get rich, get rich, hahaha
, there are a lot of good things in there, enough for us." Hou San laughed loudly in the basement and threw a box of cans and biscuits out of the basement, while Dice and the others rushed towards them and fought for them.
"Put the hell down for me." The military doctor rushed forward, punched and kicked him, and drove aside the dice and others who were snatching the cans. "They were too damn cruel. I'm not a Japanese soldier. Sir, you can't do this."
Unruly fighting, things must be counted before being distributed." The military doctor who was hit by the flying punch of the dice covered his blue eyes and went to Tang Cheng for support.
"Get out of here, everyone. No one is allowed to come around before the count is completed, otherwise military law will be enforced." With Tang Cheng's support, the military doctor squeezed into the entrance of the basement again with his hands on his hips fiercely, pointing and squeezing into a ball.
They yelled at each other. Even the innocent Albert did not escape. He was kicked in the butt by the military doctor who was a villain and kicked out.
No one cares about the success of the military doctor, because the guys who were kicked out were more or less holding cans or biscuits in their arms, and the quickest Dice was holding several cans and was following with pride.
Tangcheng showed off. "These British people with big noses look tall and strong. They are no match for our brothers in grabbing things." Hou San and the others knew the rules of eating in the military camp. Those who are quick to eat are full and those who are slow are hungry.
These, so the only ones who are hungry are the British soldiers under Albert.
After finding the basement where a certain amount of supplies were stored, Tang Cheng felt much better. He didn't care about Albert's request for an apology. Tang Cheng assigned half of his staff to guard, and the rest helped.
The military doctor was counting supplies. Dice diligently brought a stone to Tang Cheng to use as a stool, and by the way instructed Mark, who had already eaten the canned food, to fan Zhao Zhi with a banana leaf. Tang Cheng, who had his legs crossed, was smoking and drinking leisurely.
The water is completely relaxing.
Things went so smoothly, which was a bit unexpected for Tang Cheng. With these supplies, the brothers had a little more hope of returning home. Although the way forward was very slim and difficult, Tang Cheng felt that after escaping all the way,
I have the confidence to take my brothers home. The difficult jungle has been walked out. All that is left is to bypass the Japanese army in Sunbulabeng and cross the Gaoligong Mountain. Tangcheng feels that their small force
, as long as we have supplies, we will definitely be able to return home alive.
Tang Cheng, who was squinting and smoking, was actually not calm in his heart. Although he had reached the outskirts of Meng Pass, Tang Cheng had no specific plan to move north. With his pitiful military qualities, he really didn't have much to do.
A good plan can only be done one step at a time. Fortunately, Hou San and the others obeyed his orders. Albert and the others were helpless and could only follow him. He wanted to take his brothers home. This was what he had done when he left.
A promise made to everyone in Kunming is also a promise made by Tangcheng to itself.
The amount of supplies counted in the basement was not as large as expected, but the rich variety of supplies made everyone overjoyed. Hundreds of new military uniforms gave Tangcheng and the others a completely new look, and everyone's new backpacks were stuffed with cans and compressed biscuits in the warehouse.
Full of food and unwilling to give up, Hou San unexpectedly found several boxes of domestically-made expeditionary force ordnance in the corner of the warehouse. The brand-new Mauser rifle made Hou San and others who had used this rifle full of joy.
The only thing that disappointed Tang Cheng was that he didn't find a radio station in the basement. However, Hou San did find a lot of medicine for the military doctor. Although the quantity was not large, it was enough to fill the military doctor's medicine box. "Tang, you still have to wait.
Are you determined to leave Sunbula and cross the Gaoligong Mountains to return home?" Albert, who had changed into a new military uniform, has returned to his officer's demeanor, but the oil stains on the corners of his mouth that have not been wiped off make Albert look a little more vulgar.
.
Tang Cheng moved his body and gave up half of the stone for Albert, "Tang, I'm not trying to persuade you to change the route, but the Japanese army has probably taken control of the Hukang Valley. There are only a dozen of us, and there is no way we can cross with this small number of people."
The Japanese defense line. Once the Japanese discover our presence or get entangled by them, we may not even be able to get through Ma Gao. George said that Sunbulabang has long been occupied by the Japanese." He took it from Tangcheng and handed it over.
While smoking a cigarette, Albert's slightly deep voice sounded, but Tang Cheng just listened silently without speaking.
When he first heard about Tangcheng's return route, Albert thought it was possible to succeed, but now Albert no longer thinks so. "Tang, I don't know if you have looked carefully at this place. This is
A secret warehouse of our British army. I just looked carefully. The warehouse was destroyed not because our own people set fire to it, but because it was destroyed by bombs dropped by planes and caused a fire. If our people were ordered to destroy this place,
,The things in the basement cannot be saved at all, do you understand what I mean?",
Although Tang Cheng didn't speak, he already understood what Albert meant. The British guy was telling himself tactfully that the Japanese army had paid attention to this place. "Since this place was destroyed by Japanese aircraft, their ground troops may not be able to leave."
Far away, if it were me, I would never rush into the Japanese defense line." Albert did not express all his meaning, because he felt that Tang Cheng already understood what he wanted to express.
"Then how do you think we should go?" As soon as the smoke from Albert's mouth came out, Tang Cheng turned to look at him. Tang Cheng knew that Albert said those words to him out of good intentions, but
Tang Cheng also wanted to know what route Albert chose.
