The sun was rising, and the courtyard surrounded by wooden fences was bustling with people. On the hemp ropes pulled here and there, washed military uniforms were hung here and there. The action team soldiers in the trousers were following Huang Hanju's instructions, moving sacks full of mud and water into a warehouse in the yard. Thanks to the remoteness here, the mine dug by the action team was not known to outsiders. The two warehouses are already filled with sacks containing jadeite ore.
"I think you're good enough, kid. We're about to have lunch, and you're still sleeping on the bed. Let the brothers know. Let me see where you, the company commander, put your face." He stepped on his feet. The muddy Huang Hanju kicked in the door and pulled up Tang Cheng, who was still nestling on the bed. Although the latter had been pulled up and sat on the bed, his eyes were still closed. The angry Huang Hanju raised his arm and slapped him. On the back of Tangcheng.
"It hurts, it hurts, brother-in-law, your slap can kill half of my life." Huang Hanju actually didn't use any force, but Tang Cheng lay on the bed again and shouted dissatisfiedly as if he had been hit hard. Huang Han was stunned for a moment by Tang Cheng's showy reaction, and then started looking for Tang Cheng's military uniform belt in the room, which made Tang Cheng hurriedly get up with Smiley Face.
"You're really a good boy. All the brothers are working hard in the cave, and you just wander around all day long." Huang Hanju finally got Tang Cheng out of bed. Already very angry at Tangcheng. After nearly 2 months of rest, the main force of the expeditionary force has now moved towards the direction of Bhamo. Most of the remaining troops in Myitkyina are directly affiliated agencies and second-line troops. The camp of the action team is considered Located on the outskirts of Myitkyina, without a village or shop, it did not arouse the suspicion of interested people, but Tangcheng's inaction in the past two months made Huang Han very angry.
"Okay, brother-in-law, I know what you mean." Tang Cheng, who got up and put on his military uniform, smiled and handed a cigarette to Huang Hanju, "But you have to know that it is too difficult for people like us who have no foundation or backing to get ahead. , Mike is a member of the US military observation group, isn't he also suppressed by them and can't get ahead. It's good for us now, we have good food and drink, and we don't have to fight. Brothers can make some extra money in private, what a good thing , if I put it in the past, I would never have dared to think about it.”
When it comes to talking skills, two Huang Hanju bundled together are no match for Tang Cheng. Seeing that Tang Cheng used the same rhetoric he used to deal with him a few days ago, Huang Hanju had no choice but to keep silent and save himself from being beaten again. Tang Cheng was so angry. It was another leisurely day as usual. After lunch, Tang Cheng invited Liu Shitou and Tan Fei to take everyone to the river. Such good weather would be in vain if it was not used for fishing. blind.
Due to the departure of the main force of the expeditionary force, Myitkyina is no longer the huge military camp it was before. Now the entire Myitkyina only has the expeditionary force headquarters, grain depots and hospital rescue stations with regular armed forces. Of course, there is also the airport garrison. , but the airport is more than ten kilometers away from the city of Myitkyina. It is responsible for the transfer of materials. The ones who stay behind are the US military. They rarely come to the city of Myitkyina. There are no soldiers rushing back and forth on the street, and there are more idlers. The departure of the Burmese natives, the main force of the expeditionary force and the failure of the British army to arrive in time made the Burmese natives in Myitkyina city full of vitality, but these had nothing to do with them in Tangcheng.
Having more Burmese natives is a good thing for them in Tangcheng. With these Burmese natives, a black market has begun to appear in Myitkyina City. Relying on black market transactions, Tangcheng and the others can continuously obtain fresh meat.
and fruits, as well as some valuable gold, silver, jewelry and precious wood. Banknotes are no longer valuable in the black market. Like the domestic black market, the black market in Myitkyina is mainly based on the exchange of items, among which weapons and ammunition are the most popular items.
, followed by medicines, and these are exactly what Tangcheng does not lack.
There is a safe hidden under the bed in Tangcheng's room. It is said that Mike got it from a Japanese military headquarters when he brought people into the city. Tan Fei, who is literate, officially became Tangcheng's private accountant.
Only he and Tang Cheng had the key to the safe. Tan Fei would open the safe and put valuables inside it every few days. It was said that there were more than a dozen gold bars in the safe.
Mike, who had been to Myitkyina for three days, finally came back, and brought back news that made everyone in the action team happy. After conquering Bhamo, the New First Army continued to advance towards Nankan, preparing to fight with Yunnan West near Wanding.
The advancing Chinese Expeditionary Force units have joined forces. Tang Cheng has been studying maps every day these days, so he naturally knows what it means to conquer Bhamo and Nankan. Looking at the current direction of the New First Army, the headquarters may be preparing to completely break through Myitkyina.
The land transportation line leads directly to Wanding.
"Tang, that's right. That's what my old buddy at the headquarters told me. Once the land transportation line between Myitkyina and Wanding is opened, the stones we have hoarded will not need to be troubled by planes, but can be directly transported by trucks.
Sent to Kunming." Lanni laughed and hugged Tangcheng, "I also want to tell you some good news. Our mission is about to end. As long as the New First Army opens the transportation line, we can return to Kunming early."
"Lanny, are you telling the truth? You didn't lie to me?" If the news Mike brought back only made Tang Cheng happy, then Lanny's words were as shocking as detonating a bomb in Tang Cheng's ears. 7
Years of fighting career have made Tang Cheng tired of the sound of guns and cannons, and tired of watching familiar people around him die on the battlefield one by one. If not for this, Tang Cheng would not have been lazy all day after arriving in Myitkyina.
He was just hunting and fishing. He was trying his best to get rid of the memories left in his heart by the war.
"Man, of course it's true. How could I lie to you?" Lanny let go of Tang Cheng, took out a cigar he got from an acquaintance in the headquarters and gave one to Tang Cheng. "When I heard the news,
, I also couldn’t believe that there were so many troops in Myanmar. How could we be asked to withdraw to Kunming first? Later, I inquired and found out that someone had secretly filed a black record against us, saying that people from our action team were there.
The purpose of reselling supplies on the black market is to drive us back to the bench."
Hearing Lanni say that this incident was all caused by the black market dumping of materials, Tang Cheng looked at Mike a little apologetically, but who knew that Mike didn't care at all. "I don't care, anyway, those guys left me here to get moldy."
When we were here, we didn’t even think about giving me the benefits in the end. It’s good, at least we dug up valuable jade here, and when we return to the United States, I will be a rich man.” Mike just shrugged and expressed his gratitude to the conductor.
The contempt and disdain of the big guys in the department.
After learning that the troops would withdraw to Kunming in advance, Tang Cheng no longer just hunted and fished all day long, but changed his place of play and started driving the two jeeps that Mike had brought to the airport to plot with George every day.
After taking Myitkyina, the US military flight team has actually fully controlled the skies over northern Myanmar. The number of pilots and US soldiers at Myitkyina Airport has gradually increased. Compared with these US soldiers, they have received a lot more daily supplies. Tangcheng
The purpose of going to George was to get some supplies that these American soldiers could not use for the time being.
Cigarettes, lighters, chocolates, cans, including clean and unopened underwear and socks, etc., as long as they are available to the airport security forces, Tangcheng wants them all. These things are not worth a penny in the eyes of the US military troops at the airport.
, but if transported into Myitkyina, it would be valuable goods in the black market. Relying on Tangcheng's good reputation and George's communication skills, within a week, Myitkyina Airport was "attacked" by small armed forces several times.
"In the blink of an eye, the next day, the jeeps and trucks that had been damaged according to the report reported by the airport defenders drove into the camp of the action team.
The chain of interests has closely linked Tangcheng and the airport's security forces. All boxes marked with the action team's mark can enter the airport unimpeded no matter day or night, and then in full view of the public, these boxes will be released for the first time.
He was sent to the airport for a while, and then flown to Kunming by plane. Tangcheng bribed the airport defenders with valuables exchanged in the Myitkyina black market, and then the jade ore and gold and silver products transported back to Kunming by plane were distributed by the Cai family.
, and finally a large amount of money was sent to the Huang family.
Time passed day by day, and Mike and Lanni went to Myitkyina to inquire about information more and more frequently. When they learned that the New First Army had captured Nankan, Tangcheng began to feel uneasy. "Inform Cai Jincheng to use explosives there.
The brothers have been busy for months to close the mine, and it’s time to take a break. Don’t get into trouble just for the last little profit. I don’t want any of my brothers to stay here when I finally withdraw to Kunming.” Tang
Tang Cheng finally made a decision. Although they all felt sorry for the mine, Huang Hanju and the others still followed Tang Cheng's instructions and blew up the mine.
Except for Tan Fei and Tang Cheng who were doing the accounting, no one in the action team knew what was in the safe under Tang Cheng's bed, and no one knew how much income was recorded in Tang Cheng's account book. Liu Shitou wanted to know, but Tang Cheng
They went to the river and almost drowned half to death. Even though Mike scolded Tang Cheng as a man who could only get in but not get out, Tang Cheng did not tell them the actual income of the action team in the past few months.
"Don't ask around. There are a lot of people in the action team. If word gets out, your head will be lost. I won't tell you about this until I get back to China. I won't miss a word of what I should give you. Until then
When I tell you, I won't tell you even if you ask me." Tang Cheng very domineeringly rejected Dice's inquiry, and Tan Fei, who had already been given a silence order by Tang Cheng, just shook his head and said nothing.
