Chapter 550: The Cave
A dragon battle, at three o'clock in the afternoon, finally came to an end.
2,500 rifles, 35,000 dollars sold at auction.
Bullets according to the standard, a hundred rounds per rifle.
And Zhou Lin found that 50 percent of the rifles fell into the hands of the original owners of these guns, the Independence Army, because they shouted a starting price.
But there are also more than a thousand guns, which have been divided among those small forces.
When it was time to collect the money, Zhou Lin couldn't cry or laugh.
All the buyers had no dollars to pay, and no gold, so they invariably took out jade to pay the bill.
Although the price of jade fell to the price of silver during the war, it is still a hard currency in the Asian market.
Therefore, Zhou Lin accepted the jade according to today's jade market price, which fell by five percent.
Zhou Lin has a reason that the price of jade is getting lower day by day. Also, you pay for jade in batches, so there's a wholesale price.
After receiving the jade, Zhou Lin felt relaxed, and he immediately asked Wu Yonglin to take a battalion of people to guard the jade he received and send it back to the Yangon pier.
By the way, when he came back with supplies, Zhou Lin would not pay for it himself.
At this time, the spies came back with the news that in the mountains north of Pyinmana, someone found traces of human activity in the mountains.
Chen Long happily ran over to inform him of the situation, and he was going to take someone to search.
"If you go without the permission of the Japanese, the Japanese will be suspicious." Zhou Lin said.
Chen Long suddenly came to his senses, if the Japanese knew, the matter would have happened.
In the end, the result of the study was that since Chen Long was the commander of the regiment leading the troops, he could not leave the troops. The matter of going to the north to inquire about the situation was completed by Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin immediately reported this decision to Yamada.
Yamada agreed with Zhou Lin's decision, however, Yamada wanted a group to withdraw from Pinma.
The regiment marched towards Darcy to the north, where it was stationed in search of news of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and the Japanese had received information that was the most likely Tibetan army in that area.
So, after Wu Yonglin's return, Zhou Lin's army set off north.
And this time the supply can meet the needs of more than 2,000 people in Zhou Lin for a month and a half, plus the supplies captured in Danshan last time, Zhou Lin's troops can live for three months.
However, Zhou Lin reported to Yamada that he could only live for two months.
Three days later, Zhou Lin's troops were stationed in Darcy.
Darcy is just a small town with a population of only a few thousand people.
From here, there is a large road that leads directly to Mandalay.
At the intersection of the main road, there is a canyon, and to defend this canyon is to guard the passage between Darcy and Mandalay.
Here, there used to be a military camp, which was abandoned after the arrival of the Japanese.
This barracks can accommodate Zhou Lin's group.
Therefore, Zhou Lin asked Chen Long to station his troops here.
After a day's tidying up, the barracks was back alive.
After Zhou Lin took a few people to the canyon, he had an understanding of the terrain here.
Due to the high geographical location of the barracks, there was no threat to a regiment.
Zhou Lin, who let go of his heart, decided to go through the canyon and go to the mouth of the canyon over there to find the Chinese expeditionary force.
Another day passed, and Zhou Lin and his entourage of five walked out of the canyon and came to Dexi.
It's also a small town, and like Darcy, the town guards the canyon.
One at the south entrance of the canyon and one at the north entrance of the canyon.
Moreover, one-third of the people in this town are Chinese.
The only small hotel in town is owned by Chinese.
Zhou Lin and his entourage of five people stayed in a small hotel and chartered a small hotel.
Because the small hotel only has six rooms, Zhou Lin decided to charter it.
A small inn is a two-story wooden building.
After Zhou Lin and the others chartered the building, the boss left.
Only the boss's five-year-old son likes to come and talk to Magnolia.
"Auntie, where is your home?" The child asked.
"Our home is in Chongqing, Sichuan, China. Have you been? Magnolia took out the candy and gave it to the little boy, which made the little boy more kind to Magnolia.
The little boy thought for a while, and finally shook his head: "I haven't been there, and my dad hasn't been there, Daddy has been to Ruili and Tengchong." ”
"There are a lot of delicious foods in Chongqing." Magnolia said with a smile.
"I know that I have eaten beef jerky in Chongqing, and it was given to me by Uncle Daqiang."
Yulan asked curiously: "Why does he have beef jerky in Chongqing?" ”
The little boy had an expression of "you don't understand": "Because Uncle Daqiang is from Chongqing." ”
"Little Wuzi, come back quickly!" At this time, the innkeeper shouted.
The boy answered, and left the inn.
After a while, Li Shibai heard the boss scolding the little boy: "Do you want to kill your Uncle Daqiang?" Who knows if they are spies of the Japanese or not. ”
The little boy said, "They are not Japanese, they are Chinese. ”
"I know they are Chinese, and Chinese have bad people. You know? ”
Li 18 told Zhou Lin about the conversation between the little boy and his father that he had just heard.
Zhou Lin is happy, there is finally a little news, it seems that he has come here to come to the right place.
So, Zhou Lin immediately made a division of labor: Li 18 was responsible for tracking the boss, Wu Yonglin was responsible for understanding the situation around the town, and Yulan was responsible for the news of the little boy.
As soon as the division was completed, Li Shibai stood up: "The boss went out with something." ”
After saying that, Li 18 left the small hotel and followed the boss.
It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that Li 18 came back.
"I followed them to a big hole and couldn't get in. There is a sentry at the entrance of the cave, and there must be Chinese inside. Li 18 said happily.
Zhou Lin and Xiangjun stood up all of a sudden, this news was too surprising.
"Now, how can we confirm that the people in that cave are the two hundred divisions."
Zhou Lin said: "This boss is a reliable person, he won't tell me about the 200 divisions, it's useless for us to ask." ”
"Then we'll go straight to the hole." Xiangjun said.
"No, it doesn't work! That's easy to misunderstand. Why do the people of the 200th Division believe that we are helping them? My identity as Mingzhu is a traitor, and the task that Yamada asked us to come to was to capture the people of the 200th Division. Zhou Lin said.
"Yes! We can't come forward, we can only let others negotiate. Xiangjun said.
Xiangjun's words reminded Zhou Lin at once.
"That's right! We have the right fit for us right now. Zhou Lin immediately asked Xiangjun to send a telegram to Long Chen, asking him to come to Desi on horseback.
At four o'clock in the morning of the next day, Long Chen finally arrived at Desi.
Zhou Lin told Long Chen about the situation, and the 200 divisions might be in that cave.
When Chen Long heard this, he couldn't sit still and decided to rush to the cave to have a look.
Zhou Lin agreed, and asked Li 18 to take Chen Long to the cave.
