"Then I won't say it......" Ma San looked at the gangsters around him, gritted his teeth and said. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Hehe, if you don't say it, he will say it, what about you?" Zhang Yang's gaze fell on the other gangster.

"I'm ......" The thug shuddered, his eyes racing over Aze's flickering blade.

"In short, you can live if you say it, and you can only survive one, because only one person can keep a secret." Zhang Yang said lightly.

"I ...... I ......" The gangster's gaze kept sweeping over the waist knife in Zhang Yang and Aze's hands, and peeked at Ma San from time to time, while Ma San looked at the gangster nervously.

"One last chance, do you want to say it?" Zhang Yang gently pressed the cigarette butt into the grass to extinguish it, his tone was flat, but it was full of a strong pressure.

"I said ......"

"Fourth, we are brothers, brothers who are blessed and share hardships!" Immediately with an angry face, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground.

"Third brother, brothers belong to brothers, but we can only live one and can't blame ...... Ah......h

Before the fourth child finished speaking, a miserable scream pierced the night sky, extremely poignant.

The thug known as the fourth brother covered his throat with both hands, and looked at the waist knife in Aze's hand with a frightened expression......

"For ...... Why...... cough cough ...... "The fourth child desperately covered his throat where the blood was overflowing, but the blood gushed out from his fingers, and where could he cover it.

"Wouldn't it be unfair for you to be able to survive as a person like you who betrayed your brother?" Aze looked at Lao Si with an indifferent expression, for him, killing a person is not more difficult than killing a chicken.

"I ......"

The fourth child covered his mouth and couldn't make a sound, "Peng!" He fell to the ground with a thud, his limbs twitching desperately, and he kicked the weeds and dirt to the ground.

Finally, the convulsive limbs slowly stopped moving, and the fourth child's eyes opened wide and looked at the sky blankly, as if he was very unwilling.

The smell of blood permeated the air.

There was an eerie silence.

"Phew!" The third child knelt on the ground violently, staring blankly at the slowly moving corpse on the ground, with anger, dazedness, fear, and a little trance in his eyes.

"I think you can say it now."

Zhang Yang re-lit the cigarette, the dark red cigarette butt was bright and dark, and the unique smell of tobacco burning actually covered the bloody smell of palpitations.

"Give me a cigarette."

Zhang Yang didn't speak, he directly threw the cigarette box to the third child, and Liu Biao, who was standing, also threw the lighter to him, and then, several people sat on the ground, and less than two meters away from them, a corpse was still bubbling blood, and his throat made a "cooing" sound.

"Click!"

The third child trembled and took out three cigarettes from the cigarette box, lit them, and inserted them in the grass next to the fourth child's corpse, and then lit a cigarette for himself, his lips twitched nervously, he never thought that a few days would be like this, let alone that the brother who was born and died with him would betray him when he was alive and dead.

The third child always believed that both of them could survive.

Death is not terrible, the third child never thought that he would have a good end one day, but he didn't think that it would be the current situation.

Zhang Yang and the four did not speak, silently looking at this man who was nearly forty.

Undoubtedly, this is a charlatan who values love and righteousness, and in the face of the threat of death, he still thinks about living with his brother.

However, the brutal truth left him disheartened......

"This is the sixty-second boundary pillar......"

There was a long silence.

The third child, who smoked two cigarettes in succession, told a secret covered in the dust of history.

It turned out that in early January 1942, the arrogant 100,000 Japanese troops invaded Burma in three ways. Large-scale battles were fought on the battlefield in Burma. In order to assist Burma's anti-fascist war and to defend the Yunnan-Burma Highway, China has sent 100,000 expeditionary troops to Burma since February 16. The expeditionary force consisted of the Fifth, Sixth and Sixty-sixth Armies, and the commanders were Du Yumin, Gan Lichu, and Zhang Zhen respectively. On March 1, the wheels were rolling on the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and the Allied planes escorted the air, and the expeditionary force assembled in the cover got into the red-headed truck of the British army and headed straight for the town of Guomenwan. This was the only time that China sent troops to fight abroad during World War II, and it was also the first time that China assisted other countries in fighting since the First Sino-Japanese War.

After the Chinese Expeditionary Force entered Burma, the war situation was already very critical. In order to combat the arrogance of the Yue Kou, the expeditionary force immediately organized the Battle of Donggua, concentrating the strength of seven divisions to besiege the enemy's 55th Division in Donggua, north of Yangon. On March 19, the battle began. General Dai Anlan, commander of the 200th Division of the Fifth Army of the Expeditionary Force, adopted the tactics of "building deep pits, colluding in tunnels, setting up ambushes, killing people at close range, using the night, and making short assaults," and fought fiercely for 12 days, destroying more than 5,000 enemies and capturing more than 400 enemies. This is the famous "Donggua Victory".

The 66th Army entered Burma in early April. 16 The British 1st Division and Chariot Battalion north of Ringanqiang had been surrounded by the Japanese army for two days and nights. Major General Qi Xueqi, deputy commander of the new 38th Division of the 66th Army, led his troops to the rescue. After three days of hard fighting, the main force of the Yue army was defeated, and the Yue army left more than 1,200 corpses and withdrew from the position in disarray. During the campaign, the expeditionary force recovered the Ringanqiang oil field, rescued more than 7,000 friendly troops, and achieved the second great victory after the invasion of Burma - the Ringanqiang victory.

After the great victory, General Qi Xueqi lost contact with the division headquarters on duty, and 18 wounded officers and soldiers of the division went west to the mountains to chase the division headquarters. Pursued by the cavalry 20 miles from Homerin, 16 people died heroically under machine gun fire, 1 person escaped by falling into the water, and General Qi was shot three times in the head and four bullets in the body, and fell unconscious in a pool of blood. After he awoke, he was seriously wounded and taken prisoner, and was held in a prisoner camp in Yangon Central Prison......

During General Qi's capture, the Nationalist Axe sent several elite troops to rescue him, but in the end, General Qi was assassinated in prison by Han Anniversary.

At that time, there were many people who did not understand why General Qi lost contact with the division headquarters, which became a historical mystery, although there were many speculations in later generations, because of the general's death, the real thing could not be verified.

It wasn't until decades later that Lao San found some clues from some Burmese veterans.

It turned out that at that time, General Qi captured a very important thing from the hands of the Yue army in the great victory of Ren'anqiang, which is said to be a safe, and there is no way to know what exactly was inside.

At that time, the general was captured, only the key was on him, and the safe was already missing, no matter how cruel the torture, the general did not leak......

In the past few decades, there has been no clue in the safe, and the Burmese military and political axe have been constantly searching for the whereabouts of the safe, but nothing has been found.

Just a year ago, a descendant of an expeditionary force stranded in Burma told his wife when he got married, saying that there was a safe at home, and it had been many years, but he could not open it.

Immediately, General Dan Rui captured the young man, and through interrogation, it was confirmed that the safe was the safe that General Qi was going to escort back to China.

It turned out that there were 20 people escorting the safe at that time, including General Qi, 16 people died heroically, 1 person escaped by falling into the water, General Qi was captured, and two other people escaped in the jungle.

Both of them were seriously wounded, and soon one of them died, and the remaining one married and had children in Burma, of course, he also inquired about the whereabouts of General Qi in many ways, but learned that the general had been captured, and he had to remain incognito.

After the defeat of the army, this man once thought about returning the safe, but, at that time, the Chinese civil war was in full swing, he dispelled this idea, this matter was delayed again and again, a few years later, suddenly died violently, even the will was not left, although the son and grandson knew some of the reasons, but did not think about the idea of returning the safe to the motherland, just thinking about the idea of how to open the safe, but the safe is very strong, ordinary methods can not be opened at all, and they dare not make a noise, as a result, the safe has become a chicken rib, it is a pity to abandon it, The food is tasteless, and it is left at home until something happens......

"How do you know these secrets? How do you know we're looking for a safe? Zhang Yang said coldly.

"Secret? Actually, this is no longer a secret, because when General Than Shwe captured the young man, he did not control his wife, and the matter leaked...... As for whether you are here to find the safe, as long as you know the inside story, the safe is missing at the location of the sixty-second boundary monument, and you keep asking the location of the sixty-second boundary monument along the way, because everyone wants to get ......."

"Then why did the safe fall out of General Than Shwe again?"

"It's not a wandering, in fact, the safe has never been in General Than Shwe for a second, and General Than Shwe has never seen the safe at all."

"Well, go on!" Zhang Yang nodded.

"In Burma, there is a very powerful underground force, that is, the descendants of the Chinese Expeditionary Force......"
