Age of Rebirth

This is a high-rise compound, surrounded by high walls and barbed wire. There is a blockhouse at each of the four corners. The cover has been blown off by the recoil gun. The thick iron gate is twisted and crooked to the side. At first glance, it was opened violently. The spacious yard was divided into two lanes, and more than 20 large trucks were parked.

Tang Qiuli walked around a truck and ordered: "Open the tarpaulin of this truck." A few strong soldiers cut the binding rope with a few knives. The truck was neatly stacked. Wooden box, move one down, pry open the cover with a bayonet, wow, in the afternoon sun, a piece of golden light shines, dazzled the eyes.

There was a big box full of gold bars and bricks, shining brightly. As the wooden boxes were opened one by one, Tang Qiuli, who was well-informed, couldn't help but gasp. Damn it, he made a fortune this time. Yes, antique calligraphy and painting, jewelry and jade, a box after a box of gold, when you open one, there will be a burst of dazzling colorful light.

This place in Myanmar is rich in jade. Myanmar jade has a long-standing reputation in the world. There are boxes of gold, but what Tang Qiuli values ​​are these jade articles and antique calligraphy and paintings. As the saying goes, gold and silver have a price, and cultural relics are priced!

The Japanese army occupied southern Myanmar, but in just one year, Ito searched for so many gold and silver treasures. This old devil has black hands. Judging from the shape of jade, many of them should be looted from temples, even monks. Really cruel, "Get rich! Get rich!" Tang Qiuli's eyes lit up, he kept rubbing his hands, and muttered in his mouth. The highest officer of an independent division.Surrounding this pile of babies, they kept giggling. [

After Feng Jiwu and the others talked for a while, they all turned their faces away, Liu Xinlan couldn't stand it anymore.Pretending to report the situation, when he came to Tang Qiuli, he lowered his voice and reminded: "Qiuli, pay attention to your image in front of the soldiers."

Only then did Tang Qiuli wake up from his intoxication. These things were in his eyes.There are already planes, tanks, and warships. The allowances of the soldiers make it easier to do things with money.Not only did he lose Rangoon, but he also lost his family fortune. He lost everything.I'm afraid I have the heart to cry, but it's cheaper for me, Young Master Tang.

Tang Qiu was so happy in his heart that he hurriedly greeted everyone, "Get in the car and go to the 29th Corps. It must be a good thing. Let's go and open our eyes." The troops were escorted back to Kunming.After handing it over to the logistics minister, Major General Zhang Quan, Tang Qiuli and his party drove away in a car to another place where they made a fortune.

Ito, who has quit Yangon, not only wanted to cry, but even wanted to kill someone.Although the tactics of blocking and gathering troops to withdraw to the south were adopted, more than 6 people were still built in a few hours. The barricades that I carefully designed did not cause the expected losses to the independent division troops. .

According to Ito's prediction, the casualties between the imperial army and the independent division should be one to one. In this case, Tang Qiuli will not become angry and kill him, cutting off his retreat to the south, and he will not lose face Guang's withdrawal from Yangon, and the degree of destruction in Yangon City is far from meeting Ito's requirements. He dare not do things absolutely, but it doesn't mean he can't do it.

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

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

Anyone who was kicked out and beaten to the point of bleeding would not be in a good mood. Kawashima saw the muscles on Ito's face twitch a few times, but he didn't speak. He sighed in his heart and said, "Commander-in-Chief, we should Let's go! It can't be confirmed whether there are troops from the independent division following and chasing after you, it is very dangerous for you to stay here."

Ito didn't speak or move, as if he didn't hear what Kawashima said, his eyes were fixed on the direction of Yangon, no one knew what he was thinking?Only Ito knew in his heart that the convoy transporting the property he had looted was still missing. According to the retreat plan, the convoy should be evacuated before the combat troops.

How could he be left behind? Those gold and silver treasures, antiques and jade wares, and famous calligraphy and paintings are not only the property that Ito took by force, but also the capital of his life. Take out part of it and give it to the bigwigs in the base camp to buy your own head, and most of it will be dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor to keep your position.

But groups of dejected soldiers passed by, but they couldn't see the more than 40 trucks. Before retreating, he gave an order to Major General Nogu, the commander of the Gendarmerie Command. It is the key protection object, and it is related to his own wealth and life. How dare Ito take it lightly?

"How does this guy Noya do things?" Thinking of this, Ito's gloomy gaze fixed on Noya, the commander of the gendarmerie with a dull expression.Just before the evacuation, this guy also made a stupid suggestion. I still remember his face at that time, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I have a request from the humble post. Before the imperial army withdraws from Yangon, should our military police do it? Get rid of the tens of thousands of Chinese detained in the concentration camp?" Nogu said with a murderous look on his face.

At that time, Ito was so angry that he almost slapped this stupid guy a few times on the spot, and yelled: "What the fuck is out of his mind? Kill those Chinese people, and Tang Qiuli will kill us, grow up!" Is your brain good enough?" I remember Ye Gu arguing a few words unconvinced, this guy was not very satisfied with the evacuation of Yangon and the death of Tang Qiuli's troops.

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

A staff officer whispered a few words in Kawashima's ear, and Kawashima said in a panic: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the rearguard reported that they were [-] kilometers away and found a large number of independent division troops following them. We must immediately Get out of here, otherwise, it will be very dangerous!"

Ito was taken aback, "Yeah", that's not right, since that Chinese devil had left a way for himself, he shouldn't be making any moves. Could it be that something stimulated him?Could it be that they want to drive the imperial army out of Yangon and encircle and annihilate them in the wild?Could it be that subordinate, behind his back, did something that made Tang Qiuli angry?

A few question marks hovered in Ito's mind. He looked suspiciously at the dozen or so senior officers around him. Ye Gu's face was unnatural. His request was rejected by His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief. Cursed and angry, he privately issued an order to send two squadrons of military police to carry out the task of massacring the Chinese people.

Under Ito's nose, he didn't dare to make too much noise. In Noya's view, the strength of the two squadrons was more than enough to deal with the Chinese people who were imprisoned and docile like sheep, and they were busy slaughtering the Chinese. People's affairs, I forgot the important things that the commander-in-chief repeatedly explained, and didn't remember until the troops basically evacuated Yangon, and hurriedly sent people to handle them.

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

Under Ito's staring gaze, Nogu felt a little nervous, "Noya-kun, tell me the truth, what exactly did you do?" Ito asked in a cold tone, seeing Nogu's appearance, Ito guessed a general idea, suddenly The incident should have happened to this muscular guy. The important thing he was ordered to protect did not come, but Tang Qiuli's pursuers came instead.

Nogu knew that he couldn't hide it, so he faltered and said the matter again, and Ito understood with a "boom" in his head. He must have lost his family property, and the troops chasing after the Independent Division were here for revenge. He wished he could use his saber to chop Forgot about this guy who failed to accomplish anything, sent troops to kill the Chinese people, and forgot the task of escorting more than 40 trucks of important supplies. What is this Yegu going to do?All my hard work for a year, and the capital to save my life, were all lost.

Ito stared at Noya fiercely with a murderous look on his face. Sweat dripped from Noya's face. Ito's hand touched the command knife little by little, and approached Noya step by step. Ito, who ran away, ordered the guards: "Baga, don't escort the Commander-in-Chief to retreat south immediately!"

Ito also came to his senses. It wasn't the time to kill people. If he didn't leave, he would become a prisoner of Tang Qiuli. He took a last look at Yangon under the setting sun, and his heart was so heavy that he was numb. Everything was gone. I had a premonition that I would never be able to return here in this life, and there was an unknown direction ahead. At this moment, Ito was at a loss.
