Tang Cheng did not notice anything wrong with Xiao Yalan, but Xiao Yalan, who accepted the task, felt a little sorry for Tang Cheng from the bottom of his heart. After all, Tang Cheng still treated her as a good friend. Day by day, Tang Cheng except
Traveling between the Huang family and the military camp in the west of the city, and then walking around Kunming City with Xiao Yalan, he didn't care about the domestic war and the current war situation in Myanmar. If he hadn't still been wearing military uniforms, the current Tangcheng would have been the same as Manchu Street.
There is no difference among ordinary people.
Tangcheng and the others returned to China after the opening ceremony of the China-India Highway was held in Wanding City. After breaking away from the expeditionary force, Tangcheng no longer cared about the war in Burma, but they did hear Huang Hanju say that the expeditionary force had taken control of the war situation.
.In fact, since the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force returned to China, the New First Army and the 50th Division have continued to move south. The New First Army has successively captured Xinwei and Lashio, and the 50th Division has also successively conquered Nandu and Xibao.
Nanyan, Kyaukmai and other towns. Since crossing the Irrawaddy River in 1944, the New 50th Division has advanced 600 kilometers in more than three months, killing and wounding more than 3,500 Japanese troops. On March 30, the Chinese Expeditionary Force captured Qiaomei
, successfully joined forces with the British army.
At this time, the Japanese army no longer had the advantage, and the Japanese troops stationed in various parts of Myanmar had long been fighting on their own. A large number of southward infiltration troops from the expeditionary force attacked one after another, constantly harassing the Japanese army and cutting off the Japanese army's transportation lines. The leaders hurriedly rushed
Mike, who went to Myanmar, also sent several telegrams to Tangcheng through the US military troops at the airport. Judging from the contents of the telegrams sent by Mike, they had gained quite a lot from returning to Myanmar this time. Under the banner of the US military observation group, Mike and the others were in
A lot of money has been made in Myanmar.
"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Yalan was accompanying Xiao Yalan to enjoy the flowers in the backyard of the Huang family, but Tang Cheng looked like he was in a state of confusion. Xiao Yalan couldn't help but ask. For several days, Tang Cheng always mentioned
Xiao Yalan had always felt strange about her lack of energy. She once thought that it was the fact that Mike and the others abandoned Tangcheng and returned to Myanmar that caused Tangcheng to be like this.
Tang Cheng just shook his head, "I didn't think about anything. I heard from my brother-in-law that the Japanese army in Burma was about to withdraw. I was wondering when the Japanese army in China would surrender. I heard that the Japanese army was also retreating steadily on the Pacific battlefield." Xiao Yalan did not respond.
I wonder if Tang Cheng is missing the church in Shanghai. Robert’s ashes are still stored in that church. Tang Cheng promised to send his ashes back to the United States.
The loneliness on Tang Cheng's face was clearly seen by Xiao Yalan. The Japanese army was defeated. This was an indisputable fact. Otherwise, the military commander would not have started making plans to send people to infiltrate the Communist Party in the Central Base Area. Tang Cheng did not see it.
When he saw the hesitation that suddenly flashed in the little aunt's eyes, even if he saw it, he would not know that Xiao Yalan almost relented and revealed his identity as a military commander and the true purpose of getting close to him.
After being in contact with Tang Cheng for more than two months, Xiao Yalan seemed to have returned to the time she was in Shanghai. She also knew that Tang Cheng had always regarded her as a good friend, but the more so, when Xiao Yalan faced Tang Cheng, her heart
I always feel guilty. But approaching Tangcheng to understand Tangcheng was an order issued by the military commander. If it weren't for the military commander's support, he might not even be able to afford school. Xiao Yalan had already made up his mind and would never betray the military commander.
Before the final showdown, Xiao Yalan had not revealed his true identity. Although Hou San had already doubted Xiao Yalan, Tang Cheng still pretended not to know anything. Even if Xiao Yalan had other identities,
However, Tang Cheng hoped that Xiao Yalan would take the initiative to speak out. The days passed like this, and Mrs. Huang was happy to see Tang Cheng spending all day with Xiao Yalan. Anyway, the money earned by the Huang family was more than enough to support a few idle people.
On April 12, Mike and his party finally returned to the Western Army camp in Kunming City. They left Kunming with 30 people, but when they came back, there were only 23 people left, including 4 US soldiers and 3 Yanlong.
His scout was killed in action. "What did you tell me when you left? How did you tell me?" Looking at the can containing the ashes taken from the carriage, the furious Tang Cheng immediately wanted to follow him.
Mike, who explained to himself, fell to the ground, "You said a lot of people can come back alive, but there are 7 damn people missing at once."
Without Mike's insistence on returning to Myanmar, these seven people would not have died. Tangcheng now does not feel that this matter was Mike's fault, but that it was his own fault. If they had refused more firmly at that time, maybe Mike and the others would have died.
Can change his mind. After knocking over Mike, Tang Cheng still felt upset. Before he could take out the grenade and try to destroy the boxes unloaded from the truck, Hou San was surrounded and hugged him.
"Lao Mai, this is for the good of the brothers. Besides, the brothers who decided to return to Myanmar at that time also did so voluntarily. Bullets don't have eyes on the battlefield, so who knows if you will be shot." Dice, with bloodshot eyes, came over to persuade a few people.
After a while, Mike, who had been lying on the ground for a long time, was helped up and asked Tang Cheng to explain a few words. Only then did Tang Cheng angrily give Mike a hug. After all, it would be good to come back alive.
Mike always believed that brothers should fight and fight without restraint. If Tangcheng didn't even want to talk to him just now, that would be Mike's tragedy. If a person is dead, it is irreversible. The most important thing now is to pay attention to him.
The living people, boxes of all sizes, have been moved into the warehouse in the military camp. Tangcheng has already closed the gate of the military camp, and no one else knows that Mike and his truck are full of personal belongings.
goods.
"When I left, I said that I would bring more people back. But what happened? All the good things were cheaper than those from the military. If we hadn't been lucky enough to find a Burmese temple, we would have gone back this time.
They may even be dragged to the front line to serve as cannon fodder." After taking a shower and changing into new military uniforms, Mike and his group finally regained some energy. On the way back from Burma, they basically took turns driving these few people without stopping.
A truck came back,
Ignoring the mysterious atmosphere deliberately created by Dice and the others, Tang Cheng was just talking to Lanny in a low voice. He wanted to know the most accurate situation of the war in Myanmar. "The situation is great," Lanni said these four words first, "
The expeditionary force was suppressed entirely from Burma, and the Japanese army could not keep up with them in terms of logistics supplies or manpower. We even went to Yangon. I heard from acquaintances in the headquarters that the Japanese army in Burma had already withdrawn to Thailand."
"After the Japanese troops in Myanmar are driven away, the next step for the expeditionary force should be to return to China." After learning that the war in Myanmar was going smoothly, Tang Cheng felt like there was a ball of fire in his heart. All the national troops who came into contact with Tang Cheng
Among the troops, only the National Army of the Expeditionary Force has the strongest combat effectiveness. As long as the Expeditionary Force is transferred back to the country to participate in the war, the end of the Japanese troops in the country will soon come. By that time, I can return to Shanghai to see Robert.
.
Tang Cheng had discussed with Huang Hanju that he would immigrate to the United States when the war was over, so Tang Cheng worked so hard to find ways to make money. Mrs. Huang had already settled the accounts with Tang Cheng in private. If all the Huang family's current property were converted into U.S. dollars,
It was enough for them to go to the United States to buy the next big ranch. Tang Cheng didn't care what he did in the United States. He went to the United States mainly to return Robert's ashes, but this matter had to wait until all the Japanese troops were driven out of China.
Implementation.
"Guess what we got back this time?" Mike sat next to Tang Cheng. Seeing that Tang Cheng had a wandering expression again, he raised his arms and gave Tang Cheng a push. Mike and his group drove back several times.
A truck unloaded many large and small wooden boxes from the carriage. Judging from the number and weight of those wooden boxes, Tang Cheng already knew that Mike and the others should have gained a lot this time, otherwise Mike would not have been able to do it all.
With such a beaming face, he came close to her.
Mike was waiting to give Tang Cheng a surprise, but Tang Cheng was silent and uncooperative. Helpless, Mike had no choice but to ask Lanny to hand Tang Cheng the prepared list of supplies. There are usually many in Burmese temples.
There are Buddha statues, and Myanmar produces gold and gems, so the Burmese people will gild these Buddha statues in temples, and even make Buddha statues directly out of gold. How could they, who had robbed a temple, return empty-handed?
The list Lanny handed over made Tang Cheng take a breath, and then he raised his head and glanced at Mike and the others. If all the items recorded on the list were brought back, these goods would have been a very successful robber for a while.
On the list of supplies recorded by Lani, there were more than a dozen Buddha statues made of gold. Tangcheng had seen gold Buddha statues that were taken from Burma to Liduo by the expeditionary army. Although Anxi's golden Buddha statue was not big,
, but the weight of each one is not very light.
"Are you going to rob the Royal Palace of Myanmar?" When he saw that Lanny recorded the gems and jade in boxes, Tangcheng couldn't help but gasped again. The quality of those he brought back from Myanmar last time was not good.
Good jadeite ore has been sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Tangcheng can no longer imagine how much the dozens of boxes of finished jadeites will fetch this time.
“Bullshit Burmese Royal Palace.” When Tang Cheng mentioned the Burmese Royal Palace, Dice couldn’t help but spat on the ground, “We have also been to the Burmese Royal Palace, but it has long been abandoned by those guys from the military.
It was sealed off, and Lao Mai found a lot of connections, but they just wouldn't let us in. Besides, there wasn't much left in there. I heard that it had been emptied out by the Japs when they retreated. These things we brought back
It was a coincidence that we intercepted a gang of imps, otherwise those brothers would not have died."
