¡ª¡ª    go¡ª¡ª>This is a high-rise compound, surrounded by high walls and barbed wire. There is a turret on each corner. The cover has been blown off by the recoilless rifle. The thick iron gate has seven twists.  He fell to the side crookedly. It looked like it had been violently opened. The spacious yard was divided into two rows. There were more than 20 large trucks parked. They were covered tightly with tarpaulins. Soldiers from the 10th Brigade and armed guards were there.  aside.

    Tang Qiuli circled around a truck and ordered: "Open the tarpaulin of this truck." A few strong soldiers cut the binding ropes with a few cuts. On the truck, everything was neatly stacked  Take the wooden box, move it next, use a bayonet to pry open the cover, wow, under the afternoon sun, a golden light shines, dazzling your eyes.

    A whole large box of gold bars and gold bricks was shining brightly. As the wooden boxes were opened one by one, Tang Qiuli, who was well-informed, couldn't help but take a breath of air. Damn, he's making a fortune now.  There are antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and jade, boxes and boxes of gold. When you open one, there will be a burst of dazzling colorful light.

    Burma was originally rich in jade, and Burmese jade has long been famous in the world. In later generations, in major auction houses around the world, Burmese jade repeatedly achieved sky-high prices at every auction. What others saw was  There are boxes of gold, but what Tang Qiuli values ????is these jade articles and antique calligraphy and paintings. As the saying goes, gold and silver are valuable, but cultural relics are priceless!

    The Japanese army occupied southern Myanmar, but in just one year, Ito plundered so much gold and silver. This old devil's hands were very dark. Judging from the shape of the jade, many of them should have been looted from temples, even monks.  Really cruel, "Get rich! Get rich!" Tang Qiuli's eyes were shining, he kept rubbing his hands and mumbling. Others were relatively calm. The soldiers on guard were not squinting. Only this  The highest officer of the army.  Surrounded by these treasures, they kept giggling.

    Feng Jiwu and the others were speechless for a while and turned their faces to the side. Liu Xinlan really couldn't stand it anymore.  Pretending to report the situation, he arrived in front of Tang Qiuli and lowered his voice to remind him: "Qiu Li, please pay attention to your image in front of the soldiers."

    Tang Qiuli finally woke up from his intoxication. These things were in his eyes.  There are already planes, tanks, warships, and allowances for soldiers. It is easier to do things if you have money. This is an eternal truth. The thicker the family, the harder the back, Ito, this old devil.  Not only did they lose Yangon, but they also lost their family and everything.  I'm afraid I have the heart to cry, but it gives me, Young Master Tang, an advantage.

    Tang Qiuli felt so happy that he hurriedly called everyone, "Get in the car and go to the 29th Corps. There must be good stuff. Let's go and open our eyes." These priceless gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and jades,  Special troops escorted him back to Kunming.  After handing it into the hands of Major General Zhang Quan, the Minister of Logistics, Tang Qiuli and his team drove away to another place where they could make a fortune.

    Ito, who had already withdrawn from Yangon, was not only crying but also had thoughts of murder.  Although he adopted the tactic of blocking while gathering troops to retreat south, within a few hours, more than 60,000 people were still able to get in. The barricades he carefully designed did not cause the ** division troops the consequences he had expected.  loss.

    According to Ito's estimation, the casualties between the Imperial Army and the First Division troops should be at a one-to-one ratio. In this case, Tang Qiuli would not be so angry that he would kill him and cut off his retreat to the south, and he would not be  He withdrew from Yangon in disgrace, and the extent of destruction in Yangon was far from what Ito wanted. He didn't dare to do it, but that didn't mean he couldn't do it.

    He couldn¡¯t figure out what kind of tactics the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli¡¯s subordinates used to achieve such a fast advance in urban street fighting without using artillery fire?  Also, how many casualties did Tang Qiuli's troops suffer?  According to sporadic reports from the withdrawing troops, the casualties of the ** division troops were far less than those of the imperial army, which made Ito very sad.

    Chief of Staff Kawashima came over and said, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I asked some of the troop commanders. According to the information they provided, at least one thing can be proven. Tang Qiuli's troops used extremely powerful weapons during street fighting."  Portable direct-aiming artillery, our firepower points and barricade fortifications are vulnerable, and the casualties of soldiers are also caused by this," Kawashima's words had a bitter taste.

    Anyone who was kicked out and beaten to a bloody head would not be in a good mood. Kawashima saw the muscles on Ito's face twitching a few times but did not speak. He sighed in his heart and said: "Commander-in-Chief, we should  Let¡¯s go! It¡¯s impossible to confirm whether there are troops from the ** Division chasing us. It¡¯s very dangerous for you to stay here.¡±

    Ito didn¡¯t speak or move, as if he didn¡¯t hear Kawashima¡¯s words. His eyes were looking straight in the direction of Yangon. No one knew what he was thinking.  Only Ito himself knew that there was still no trace of the convoy transporting the family property he had plundered. According to the retreat plan,According to the plan, the convoy should evacuate before the combat troops.

    How could he fall behind? Those gold and silver treasures, antiques and jades, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, were not only the family property that Ito had robbed by force, but also the capital to save his life. He originally wanted to take it all for himself, but after losing Yangon, these things would have to be  Use a part of it to buy your own head from the big guys in the base camp, and the vast majority of it will be dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor to keep your position.

    But groups of dejected soldiers passed by, but the more than forty trucks were nowhere to be seen. Before retreating, he gave a special order to Major General Noya, commander of the Military Police Headquarters, that the material convoys should set off before the combat troops, especially those more than forty trucks.  The truck is a key target of protection. It is related to his own wealth and life. How dare Ito take it lightly?

    "But how does this guy Noya do things?" Thinking of this, Ito's gloomy eyes stared at the dull-faced military police commander Noya. Why did this guy become more and more unpleasant to his eyes?  Just before the evacuation, this guy made a stupid suggestion. I still remember his face at that time, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I have a request for this humble position. Before the Royal Army evacuates Yangon, should our military police take action?"  Get rid of the tens of thousands of Chinese people imprisoned in the concentration camp?" Ye Gu said with a murderous look on his face.

    At that time, Ito was so angry that he almost slapped this stupid guy on the spot and yelled: "Has your brain got wet? If you kill those Chinese people, Tang Qiuli will kill us. You should grow up."  Is your brain okay?" I remember Ye Gu argued a few words unconvinced. This guy was not very satisfied with withdrawing from Yangon and not fighting Tang Qiuli's troops to death.

    It's not that Ito didn't want to kill those Chinese and overseas Chinese. He dreamed that if possible, he would occupy the mainland of China and kill all the inferior Chinese people. But he didn't dare and didn't have the guts to give up Yangon.  After conserving his strength and planning to withdraw southward from the Malay Peninsula, Ito lost his determination to fight to the death, lost the initiative, and had to follow Tang Qiuli's rhythm.

    A staff officer whispered something in Kawashima's ear, and Kawashima said in a panic: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the rearguard reported that a large number of ** division troops were found twenty kilometers away from them, and they are following them. We must  Get out of here now, otherwise it will be dangerous!"

    Ito was stunned for a moment and said "Yeah", that's not right. Since the Chinese devil has left a way for himself, he shouldn't take any action. Could it be that something stimulated him?  Is it to drive the imperial army out of Yangon and encircle and annihilate it in the wild?  Could it be that subordinate, behind his back, did something to make Tang Qiuli angry?

    Several question marks were swirling in Ito's mind. He looked at the dozen senior officers around him suspiciously. Noya's expression was unnatural. Not only was his request rejected by the Commander-in-Chief, but he was also slapped with a bloody spray.  Cursing and feeling angry, he privately issued an order and dispatched two squadrons of military police to carry out the task of massacring the Chinese people.

    Under Ito's nose, he did not dare to make much noise. In Noya's view, the strength of the two squadrons was more than enough to deal with the unarmed, sheep-like and docile Chinese people who were imprisoned. They were busy killing the Chinese people.  Things were over, and I forgot about the important things that the Commander-in-Chief had repeatedly told me. It wasn't until the troops basically evacuated Yangon that I remembered and hurriedly sent someone to deal with it.

    As for what important things were contained in the more than 40 trucks, Ito did not tell him, and Nogu didn't want to know. In Nogu's heart, there was nothing more important than the massacre of the Chinese people. Now it seems that things are not that simple.  Judging from what Commander-in-Chief Ito meant, the things on the truck were extremely important to him.

    Under Ito's intense gaze, Nogu felt a little nervous, "Nogu, please tell me truthfully, what exactly did you do?" Ito asked in a cold tone. Looking at Nogu's appearance, Ito guessed something. Suddenly,  The trouble should have been caused by this muscular guy. The important thing he was ordered to protect didn't come, but Tang Qiuli's pursuers came instead.

    Noya knew he couldn't hide it, so he explained the matter hesitantly. With a "bang" in Ito's head, he understood that the family fortune must have been lost. The troops chasing after the Japanese division were here for revenge. He couldn't wait to use his saber.  After killing this guy who failed to achieve anything but failed, sent troops to kill the Chinese, and forgot about the task of escorting more than 40 trucks of important supplies, what was this Ye Gu going to do?  My year's hard work and the capital I needed to save my life were all lost.

    Ito's face was full of murderous intent, and he stared at Noya fiercely. The sweat on Noya's face dropped. Ito's hand gradually touched the command knife, and he approached Noya step by step. Kawashima saw that something was not going well, and someone was about to die, so he hurriedly stopped Noya.  Ito went berserk and ordered the guards: "Baga, don't you escort the Commander-in-Chief to retreat south immediately!"

    Ito also woke up. It was not the time to kill. If he didn't leave, he would become Tang Qiuli's prisoner. He took one last look at Yangon under the sunset, feeling heavy.He was already numb and everything was gone. He had a premonition that he would never be able to return here in this life. There was an unknown direction ahead. At this moment, Ito was confused¡ª¡ª
