"Here's the thing, only my brother-in-law is allowed to leave alone from the command department, and you and I must stay and retreat with the military headquarters. As for what will happen on the way to evacuate, to be honest, I don't know now, anyway, I will bring you back alive. Summoning Hou San and them together, Tang Cheng glanced at everyone present with some uncertainty, "If, I mean if any of you want to leave early, I can find a way to mix you into the wounded soldiers, as long as you are careful, you can also leave early with the wounded soldiers." ”

"I should have something important to summon us over, don't count me in this matter, Lao Tzu came to Myanmar to see Lao Tzu's machine gun and the devil's head is harder, I can't do the thing of pretending to be a wounded soldier, you better go find someone else, don't count me." I accidentally saw Tang Cheng looking at him, and the brute bull sitting next to Hou San immediately shook his head like a rattle, maybe he was afraid that Tang Cheng would not believe what he said just now, so the brute bull almost stretched out three fingers and immediately swore to the sky.

"Don't look at me, you know what kind of character I have, it's not something I'm willing to do, you just force me with a gun, and I don't necessarily have to do it, but if I recognize it, I'm afraid you won't be able to drive me away." Hou San, who was sitting next to the manniu, also shook his head, although he didn't show the expression and reaction of the manniu, but the determination in Hou San's eyes had already answered Tang Cheng's gaze.

"Look at what I'm doing, do you think I'm more afraid of death than the two of them?" Dice was really a hot-tempered person, and when he saw Tang Cheng set his eyes on him, he immediately got up and stood up, and his face was already half red. "I'm a rough man, although I don't have any great skills, but I followed you for thousands of miles, and I can be regarded as killing some useless little devils. Who is my own person, I know in my heart, I don't want to put my life in the hands of irrelevant people, you know what I mean. ”

Of course, Tang Cheng knew that the dice were blushing not out of shyness, but out of anger, this bandit who had followed him all the way from Zouma Mountain had already said his mind, he was a well-known man like Hou San, and he would never be willing to stay because of a few good words from Tang Cheng, the reason why they chose to stay with them was because they also regarded themselves as their own people, and they could rest assured that they were their own people on the battlefield.

"I'm staying, I'm leaving you, I don't know where else I'm going. Like Brother Dice's thoughts, I'm not used to entrusting my life to someone I don't know, maybe I'll be pulled into cannon fodder at that time, which is too cost-effective, but I went to college. Tan Fei habitually reached out to help his glasses, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was pressed to the ground by a few people who came over and punched a few times, he emphasized that he had gone to college, and obviously looked down on the dice and their illiterate old men.

Since they were children, they have lived in the mountains, and the Yanlong brothers, who have been with tigers, leopards, snakes and insects all day long, naturally have no objections, compared to their previous life in the mountains, the life with Tang Cheng is much better, and they don't think that the devil soldiers will be much more powerful by those fierce beasts, snakes and insects in the mountains. "You two brothers must stay, because our way back to China may be cut off by the Japanese army, and we can only go over the mountains and mountains at that time, so you two brothers are the guarantee for us to return home safely."

Although the Yanlong brothers were found by Tang Cheng with a lot of money, these days, Hou San and the others get along very well with the Yanlong brothers, at least Hou San and they don't treat these brothers as outsiders. The people in the mountains have always been simple, whoever is good to themselves, they will be ten times better and one hundred times better, since Tang Cheng values his brother so much, the two brothers Yanlong and Yanhu immediately patted their chests and promised to be a good guide for Tang Cheng.

"When I left Kunming, I asked for 6 gold bars from the stone to take with me in case of emergency, and the people in the command gave my brother-in-law 10 bars, which means that I am still short of 4 gold bars. You are all people I can rest assured of, and now you are all helping to think of a way to see where you can get enough gold for 4 slivers, and if you miss this opportunity, my brother-in-law may have to go over the mountains with us. ”

Tang Cheng took out the 6 gold bars on the table and made the Yanlong and Yanhu brothers dumbfounded, although the brothers lived in the mountains all the year round, they also knew that gold was a very valuable thing. Hou San, they are not as rare as they were at the beginning, when they went south, Liu Shishi never left his small leather bag with a lot of gold bars, and they often used those gold bars to look forward to their future life when they had nothing to do.

"When I was hanging out with the guys of the new 22nd Division, I went to a monastery not far south of Mandalay, and it was like you told us that the Buddha statues were covered with gold. It's better for us to rob the temple directly, although it is just gold, it can be scraped down and then returned to the furnace, maybe not less than 4 strips. "In the end, the person who did the bandits, Hou San's mouth was to rob the temple with gold on the Buddha statue, but Tang Cheng shook his head and disagreed.

"It may not work to rob the monastery, the gendarmes in Mandalay City are not vegetarians, and the military discipline of the expeditionary force is very strict, if they know about our robbery of the monastery, the management and security committee will directly shoot a few of us, this method will not work, exchange our own lives for money, it is not cost-effective." Tang Cheng didn't agree with his own method, Hou San had no choice but to give up, if the gendarmes in the city or the people from the Judge Advocate General's Department knew about it, it would really be a little uneconomical.

"I think it's better to figure out a way for the locals, don't we still have those captured British weapons and ammunition, find a few local leaders, and sell those weapons and ammunition directly to them. 30 guns and those ammunition or something, I guess I can exchange some gold back, but it really doesn't work, and we can sell them some of our extra weapons. "In the end, Tan Fei's brain is spinning fast, when everyone is at a loss, only the method that Tan Fei came up with is still feasible.

"Since there is no other way, let's do it according to the glasses first, the time left for us by the command is only 2 days, if we can't talk to those leaders, we will have to find another way." Tang Cheng, who was anxious, held on to the sun before it set, and drove out of the camp with Tan Fei and the dice in a hurry, and went straight to the home of a local toast in the east of the city.

"I need gold, I can provide you with weapons and ammunition, even military boots and military blankets, all good things." Tang Cheng put an English rifle he had brought on the table in front of Tusi, and next to him, Tan Fei was talking to Tusi in Burmese, which was not yet very proficient. Tusi, who was over half a hundred years old but still in good spirits, looked at the rifle on the table with an uncertain expression, then looked up at Tang Cheng, and said a lot to Tan Fei with a muttering mouth, Tang Cheng couldn't understand Tusi's words, so he could only turn his head and wait for Tan Fei's translation.

"He said that these were leftovers from the British, and they were not worth a few bucks, and if we could get machine guns and mortars, he would be willing to sell some." Seeing that Tang Cheng was a little disappointed, Tan Fei turned his head and talked to the toast again. "I told him that we had 30 of these rifles and a lot of ammunition to sell him, and he said that 30 rifles plus those ammunition would give us up to 10 ounces of gold, and if it was a machine gun, a machine gun would give us 10 ounces of gold."

Burma has been occupied by the British as a colony for many years, and the unit of measuring gold has always been the British customary ounce, Tan Fei does not know what the ounce is, but Tang Cheng, who grew up with Robert, is no stranger to the ounce. One ounce is converted into the international weight standard, but it is only about 31 grams, which means that the 30 British rifles they captured in Tangcheng plus ammunition can only be sold for 310 grams of gold.

Those people in the command asked Huang Han to ask for the gold bar is a standard 10 taels of large yellow croaker, which is converted into a standard weight of 312.5 grams, although Tang Cheng did not expect these British rifles to sell for a good price, but 30 rifles plus a lot of ammunition can only be exchanged for the price of a gold bar, Tang Cheng is somewhat difficult to accept, if these weapons and ammunition are placed in the domestic black market, at least three times the current price.

"Promise him, you sue him, I can sell him some grenades and a light machine gun, but the price can't be cheaper." 30 British rifles and a light machine gun could already be exchanged for two gold bars, and Tang Cheng simply gritted his teeth and added the three boxes of grenades that Huang Hanju had just brought back from the city. After a bit of bargaining by Tan Fei, the old fox-like toast finally agreed to buy 30 British rifles, a Czech light machine gun and 3 boxes of grenades from Tang Cheng for the equivalent of four gold bars.

Rifles and grenades are ready-made, but the light machine gun Tang Cheng said is the one that the bull sees as his eyeballs, the bull was just reluctant at first, he just held his light machine gun and shook his head but didn't speak, and then the dice leaned over and whispered to him for a while, and the man bull was very reluctant to let go and handed the light machine gun to Tang Cheng who looked apologetic. "What did you say to the bull? Why did he listen to you and be willing to take out the machine gun. Tan Fei asked the dice very suspiciously.

The dice smiled treacherously, "Actually, it's nothing, I'll just say I'll follow you later, quietly note down where that toast lives, and when we really retreat, I'll take him directly to the door and snatch his machine gun back." Tan Fei, who listened to the dice's words, laughed, just like the cunning fox of the toast they traded, he would definitely move after receiving this batch of arms, and even if the dice came to the door with the brute bull, I am afraid that he would not even be able to see the face of the toast.
