"Lao Ai, this is what you call the material warehouse?" Tang Cheng handed Albert the telescope in his hand with a gloomy face, and motioned for Albert, who was also disgraced, to look through the telescope himself. Albert, who didn't know what was going on, took the telescope handed by Tang Cheng and looked at the slope in front of him, but the slope that should have been a material warehouse was already full of devastation, and the two trees at the door of the warehouse had also been burned to black wooden stakes.

"Don, I assure you, what I said is true, this was originally a warehouse for stockpiling supplies, and I don't know why it became what it is now." Albert chased Tang Cheng and explained, but Tang Cheng didn't pay attention to Albert at all, and just summoned Hou San and a few of them to gather around to discuss things. "Mark, you and I go over and take a look, I'm going to prove to Don that I didn't lie to him." Albert, who had no way to prove himself, also became stubborn, and immediately ran towards the ash-covered slope with one of his soldiers.

"Leave them alone, I want to see how this old Ai proves himself." Tang Cheng, who got the report, did not stop Albert, but just glanced at Albert's departing back from a distance, and ignored it. In fact, they also complained that Tang Cheng was angry, and Tang Cheng, who had regained into a small team of more than a dozen people, had already abandoned most of the weapons, including light machine guns, on the battlefield in order to speed up the march, and if they could not find the warehouse that Albert said to replenish weapons and ammunition, when they encountered the Japanese army again, Tang Cheng was afraid that they would not even have the possibility of fighting back.

Tang Cheng never really believed in Albert in his heart, and at this time, Albert was secretly scolding Tang Cheng in his heart for not believing in himself. Climbing up the ash-covered hillside, Albert and Mark went up to the hillside in a short time, and after using binoculars to see that there was no danger, Albert and Mark carefully moved to the two wooden stakes. The stakes were originally planted by two trees outside the warehouse, and Albert moved 15 meters forward and stopped, which was supposed to be the center of the warehouse.

"Mark, you dig from the left, I dig from the right, this warehouse has a basement, as long as I can find the basement, I have to ask Don to apologize to me." It was customary for the British to build basements, especially in the colonies, especially in the small warehouses of the colonies, and Albert was just an ordinary captain, but he had heard Henry talk about it. The only tools used for digging were two bayonets, the only self-defense weapon that Tang Cheng had decided to discard the guns and ammunition that had been preserved in large quantities, and the bayonet was inferior to a sapper's shovel, but it was better than digging with stone chips and sticks like a wild man.

Tang Cheng, who stayed in place, had been watching from afar, and Albert, who was sweating profusely, was also holding back his strength to dig holes everywhere in the ashes with a bayonet, knowing that he was being implicated, Mark could only grit his teeth and insist on pretending that he didn't know anything. "Sir, look, Lao Ai is jumping and shouting on the top, isn't this kid crazy?" Tang Cheng, who was looking down at the map, was slapped by Tan Fei beside him, and then turned his face to look at the slope, and sure enough, Albert and the British soldier named Mark were jumping and shouting in the ashes.

"Go up and take a look, Lao Ai may have found something." Tang Cheng glanced through his binoculars and saw Albert clutching a tin can in his dark hands. The group then rushed up the slope, only to see Albert and Mark, who were jumping and shouting like madmen just now, sitting on the edge of a hole in the earth dug out and munching on the can in their hands. Completely indifferent to the black ash on their hands and bayonets, Albert and Mark ate very happily, especially when they saw Tang City, Albert was a little proud.

Albert and Mark, who seemed to be hungry, each held a box of canned meat and squatted on the edge of the basement to eat. Seeing Tang Cheng and them, Albert stood up unhurriedly and wiped the oil stains on his mouth with the sleeves of his tattered military uniform, "Don, you must apologize to me, I have found the basement, there is food, military uniforms, guns and ammunition, medicines, etc., you can send someone down to count them." ”

"Get out of the way, get out of the way" Hou San stretched out his hand to push away Albert, who was still chattering, and entered the basement one by one with a black ash head, followed by Zhao Liang and Tan Fei. "Get rich, get rich, hahaha, there are a lot of good things in it, enough for us." Hou San in the basement laughed and threw a box of cans and biscuits out of the basement, and the dice and several of them pounced on it for a while.

"Fuck me down," the military doctor pounced on and punched and kicked them, pushing them aside from the dice that were snatching the cans. "They are too damn ruthless, and Lao Tzu is not a devil soldier. Sir, you can't scramble so unruly, things can only be distributed after they have been counted. The military doctor who was punched by the dice flew covered his blue eyes, and went to Tang Cheng for support aggrievedly......

"Get out of here, no one is allowed to surround until the inventory is finished, otherwise military law will be engaged." With Tang Cheng's support, the military doctor who squeezed to the entrance of the basement again crossed his waist viciously, pointing at the crammed dice and scolding a few of them. Even the innocent Albert did not escape, and was kicked in the ass by the villain's military doctor and thrown out.

No one cares about the villain of the military doctor, because the guy who was kicked out was more or less holding cans or biscuits in his arms, and the fastest dice were holding several cans and showing off with Tang Cheng triumphantly. "These big English noses look tall and big, and they are no match for our brothers when they grab things." The rules of eating in the barracks, those who are quick to eat and those who are slow are hungry, Hou San and they know this, so the only ones who are hungry are the British soldiers under Albert.

Found the basement where a certain amount of supplies were stored, Tang Cheng's mood was much better, and he didn't care about Albert's request to apologize to himself, Tang Cheng arranged half of the staff to go to the guard, and the rest helped the military doctor count the supplies. The dice diligently brought a stone to Tang Cheng to use as a stool, and by the way, instructed Mark, who had already eaten the canned food, to fan Zhao Zhi with banana leaves. Tang Cheng, who was cross-legged, was smoking and drinking water very leisurely, and he looked very leisurely.

Things went so smoothly that there was some surprise in Tang Cheng, and with these supplies, the brothers had a little more hope of going home. Although the road ahead was very slim and difficult, Tang Cheng felt that he had the confidence to take his brothers home with him. The difficult jungle has already come out, and all that remains is to bypass the Japanese army in Sunbrabeng and then cross the Gaoligong Mountain. Tang Cheng felt that their small force, as long as there were supplies, would definitely be able to return to China alive.

Tang Cheng, who was squinting and smoking, was actually not calm in his heart, although he had already walked to the periphery of Mengguan, but Tang Cheng did not have a specific plan to march north. With his pitiful military qualities, he really didn't have any good plans, so he could only take one step at a time. But fortunately, Hou San and they were very obedient to their orders, and Albert and they could only follow themselves alone, and they wanted to take their brothers home, which was a promise made to everyone when they left Kunming, and it was also Tang Cheng's promise to himself.

The amount of materials counted in the basement was not as large as expected, but the variety of materials was very rich and everyone was overjoyed. Hundreds of new military uniforms gave Tang City a new look, and the canned food and compressed biscuits in the warehouse filled everyone's new backpacks. Hou San, who did not give up, actually found a few boxes of nationally made expeditionary force ordnance in the corner of the warehouse, and the brand-new Mauser rifle made Hou San, who had used this rifle, full of joy.

The only thing that disappointed Tang Cheng was that he didn't find the radio station in the basement, but Hou San found a lot of medicines for the military doctor, although the quantity was not much, but it was enough to fill the military doctor's medicine box. "Tang, are you still determined to go back to China by going to Gaoligong Mountain?" Albert, who had changed into a new military uniform, regained his officer's demeanor, but the unwiped grease stains on the corners of his mouth made Albert look a little more obscene.

Tang Cheng moved his body and gave up half of the stone for Albert, "Tang, I'm not trying to convince you to change course, but the Japanese army is likely to have taken control of the Hukang Valley, and there are only a dozen of us, so there is no way to penetrate the Japanese defense line with this little manpower." Once the Japanese army finds out about our existence, or is entangled by them, we may not even be able to get past Ma Gao, but George said that Sun Bu Beng has long been occupied by the Japanese army. Taking the cigarette handed by Tang Cheng, Albert's slightly low voice sounded, but Tang Cheng just listened silently and did not speak.

When he first heard about Tang Cheng's return route, Albert also felt that it was not impossible to succeed, but now Albert doesn't think so. "Don, I don't know if you've looked at this place carefully. This is a secret warehouse of our British army, and I have just looked at it carefully, and the destruction of the warehouse was not caused by our own people, but by the destruction of bombs dropped by planes, which caused a fire. If our people were ordered to destroy this place, the contents of the basement would not have been saved at all, you know what I mean? Although Tang Cheng didn't speak, he already understood what Albert meant, and this Englishman was tactfully telling himself that the Japanese army had paid attention here. Since this was destroyed by Japanese planes, then their ground troops may not be far away, and if it were me, they would definitely not rush into the Japanese defense line. Albert didn't express everything he meant, because he felt that Tang Cheng had understood what he was trying to say.

"And what do you say is going to do?" As soon as the cigarette in Albert's mouth came out, Tang Cheng turned his face to look at him. Tang Cheng knew that Albert had told him what he had just said out of good intentions, but Tang Cheng also wanted to know what route Albert had chosen.
