"You're saying we're not dealing with bandits, but this damn small force of the Burmese Independence Army?" Tang Cheng looked at the second lieutenant of the national army standing in front of him with a disbelieving face, the other party's military rank was two levels lower than his own, but why did he know that it should be a confidential matter.

Xu saw Tang Cheng's thoughts, and the second lieutenant surnamed Ye smiled on the other side, "The Burmese Independence Army in Kunshan has been there since the Japanese army came, maybe people who have just arrived from China don't know it, but for those of us who have already entered Burma, it is not a confidential matter." The Burmese are so poor that they don't have the capacity to equip so many weapons and ammunition, and I can't think of any other Burmese other than the Burmese Independence Army (MIA) who would sneak up on people wearing national army uniforms. ”

is worthy of being valued by the chairman, Tang Cheng can't help but secretly praise the Fifth Army in his heart, the other party is just a small second lieutenant, but he speaks and acts with the sharpness that only elite troops can have. Tang Cheng was about to ask what to do with the captured British weapons and ammunition, but Huang Hanju, who had a blank face, came out of the Fifth Army's headquarters in Mandalay, "Xiaocheng, let's go, the place assigned to me by the Fifth Army is not here, and I am asked to work in the material dispatch yard outside Mandalay." ”

In front of the second lieutenant, Tang Cheng couldn't say anything, the two of them walked out silently, and before Tang Cheng could ask, Huang Hanju, who was walking in front, was already angry. "The people of their Fifth Army are too angry and annoying, and I, Huang Hanju, am also the person who their Commander Du nodded over, and they actually only sent a lieutenant colonel of the same level as me to convey orders to me. And not only did he not let us enter the city, but he also deliberately arranged for us to go to a temporary camp 20 miles outside the city, which was clearly to give Huang Han a dismount to see. ”

Huang Hanju's whining words made Tang Cheng cry and laugh, there are already many factions in the national army, even if the Fifth Army was sent by the Nationalist Government to Burma to help the British army fight, it is inevitable that some people will form gangs in private, Huang Hanju is a person from the Southwest Agency, and it is inevitable that the people of the Fifth Army will put down Ma Wei, what is so good about this. "Forget it, brother-in-law, if you're outside the city, it's not necessarily a good thing not to get entangled with them." Tang Cheng persuaded him for a while, and Huang Hanju's face was slightly better.

Although the people of the Fifth Army said that Huang Hanju was not too big to dismount, but there was no shortage of courtesies they should have, and when they learned that Huang Hanju came by truck, they transferred a jeep sent by the British army according to Huang Hanju's position and rank. The Ford truck that sent them all the way to Mandalay belonged to the transportation company, and they had to pull the supplies back to Kunming when they sent them to Mandalay, and this jeep came in time, otherwise Huang Hanju would have to ride a bicycle if he needed to enter the city in the future.

Tang Cheng and Tan Fei could both drive, so Huang Hanju did not ask for the driver sent by the Fifth Army, but let Tang Cheng drive a jeep. There were a total of 4 people in the jeep, and Huang Hanju, who was the owner, of course, was in the position next to the driver in front, and Manniu and the officer who was responsible for taking Huang Hanju to the camp outside the city to hand over were seated in the back row. Hou San and the others still followed behind the jeep in the two Ford trucks, although they had some complaints about not being able to enter Mandalay, but after Tang Cheng was pacified, Hou San and the others did not say anything more.

Tang Cheng, who was driving, looked at the officer in the back row from the rearview mirror from time to time, this was a guy with bandages on half of his shoulder, although the military uniform was quite neat, but Tang Cheng couldn't find the other party's military rank. The road to the material dispatch point outside the city was a bit bumpy, but this bandaged guy didn't say anything except for a few hums at the beginning, and when he spoke again, it was time to point out the direction to Tang Cheng.

Huang Hanju said that the material transportation point he was going to was 20 miles outside the city, but Tang Cheng, who was driving, felt that it was not as far as 20 miles, so he followed the direction of the officer's guidance in the back seat and arrived at the so-called material transportation point after walking for a long time. The so-called material transportation point is just a temporary camp, with only a few rows of wooden houses and a few scattered trucks, and there is no unusually busy material transportation scene in Tang Cheng's imagination. If those piles of stuff covered with tarpaulins can be regarded as supplies, this material dispatch point can be regarded as extremely simple.

Huang Hanju in the jeep didn't get out of the car, but just stared at the pile of things with his eyes, and even the handover here was carried out by Tang Cheng and the officer in the back seat, until the officer left, Huang Hanju in the jeep still didn't say a word. "Xiaocheng, do you think we are being colded by the Great Sun?" After a long while, Huang Hanju, who got off the jeep, laughed twice as if he was self-deprecating, but Tang Cheng didn't know how to comfort Huang Hanju.

"Okay, don't be idle, you've already seen it, this is the camp, show some spirit, don't let the people of the Fifth Army underestimate us." Let the wild bull accompany Huang Hanju around the camp, and Tang Cheng called Hou San and them together. "Some people want to see our jokes, but we just don't give them a chance to see jokes, when we first arrived in Kunming, there was still nothing, but what happened later, we were more comfortable than the garrisons in Kunming. This is why, because we are united, we work hard, only if we work hard, we will have a good life, and it is the same here. ”

After carefully admonishing them, and seeing that everyone's spirits were much better, Tang Cheng took Tan Fei to wander around the camp to check carefully, while Hou San and the rest of the people were busy unloading the things they had brought from the truck. "Brother-in-law, I've seen it all, the terrain here is still very good, the surrounding terrain is flat and easy for us to defend, there is a small river not far from the camp, it's very convenient for us to use water or something, maybe we can catch fish." After checking in the camp, Tang Cheng was more satisfied than Huang Hanju, and it was much better than the original Dabanqiao.

Tang Cheng was not the only one in the camp, there was also a platoon of the Fifth Army here, and after asking their platoon deputy, Tang Cheng knew that this was originally the location of the logistics unit selected by the Fifth Army. As a result, before the Fifth Army could completely build the camp, the British had already provided the Fifth Army with a logistics camp that had been repaired, and after weighing left and right, the Fifth Army headquarters immediately suspended the construction here, and instead transferred most of the materials to the new camp for storage, and only sent a platoon of troops here for daily defense.

"So you, the captain and company commander, became my guard squad leader, and I, the lieutenant colonel, naturally became a platoon commander?" When he learned that a platoon stationed here only had a platoon deputy and no platoon commander, Huang Hanju couldn't cry or laugh, since the Fifth Army didn't want to see him, why did he agree to transfer himself to Burma in the first place.

"Brother-in-law, you can't say that, you can only say that you are unlucky, but you can't say that the Fifth Army deliberately targeted you." Tang Cheng had already guessed the deep meaning behind this matter. "The Fifth Army didn't think that your Star Administration would send someone to come in, don't say it's you, it's just that you just change someone to your Agency, and I'll make sure they still have this face. No matter who you are, you don't like someone to stick a spoon into your bowl to grab food, and if it were me, I might do it even better. ”

"Forget it, I'm here, I can't just be a deserter and run back to Kunming now, if you come, you will be safe, and stay up." Huang Hanju, who wanted to come to Myanmar to do a good job, was already disheartened at this time, and now he just wanted to go back to Kunming alive and well, and he didn't think much about other things. Huang Hanju put his mind right, and Tang Cheng's side was naturally much more relaxed, at least he didn't have to think about the consequences of saying it before he spoke.

Although the camp is simple, the barracks are already ready-made, and they can move in directly after cleaning up in Tangcheng, which saves a lot of effort. The next thing is to learn about the supplies in the camp, the piles covered with oilcloth are nothing else, all of them are military uniforms, military boots, steel helmets and quilts sent by the British army. The Fifth Army is a new descendant of the National Army, of course, it can only be worn according to the standards of the National Army, so these uniforms sent by the British Army can naturally only be stacked here and wait to rot, but Tang Cheng doesn't think so.

"Cowhide boots are a good thing, much better than the military shoes on our feet, and if you send them to the brothers, you will be issued according to two pairs per person, as well as those military blankets." After discovering things that could be used one after another, Tang Cheng was in a good mood, and after asking Huang Hanju, Hou San and the others immediately changed into newly made cowhide military boots. The new army blankets that have not yet been in the water were received by each of them, especially Liu Shishi and the dice, who were even more eager to replace the meadow that was used as a mattress under them with a military blanket.

"Sir, if the above knows that we have moved these things sent by the British big nose, it will be a big trouble, although the military commander didn't say it, but those people in the military department are very strict with military discipline, and if they don't get it, they will use military law to rectify us." The platoon soldiers who stayed in the camp never dared to change into military boots like Hou San and them, and some people even came to persuade Tang Cheng to order Hou San and them to change into the military shoes originally issued by the national army.

", why can't you wear ready-made ones, my brothers' shoes are already rotten enough to stick out their toes, and they wear them specially, is it possible to make my brothers barefoot? How do you look barefoot? Whoever likes to talk about it can say it, it's a big deal to transfer me back to Kunming, I can't wait to be transferred back. "Tang Cheng is not afraid of the people from the Fifth Army coming to find trouble now, on the contrary, he is still a little anxious, since he knows that this is the other party's dismount, Tang Cheng does not have a good temper to accompany the other party with a smile and be careful.
