Chapter 40 The Expeditionary Force was driven back from Burma by the Japs(1/2)

provincial capital.

The reason why Spring City is called Spring City is because the climate here is pleasant and spring-like all year round. There are almost no shortcomings except for a slightly stronger ultraviolet ray.

The soil in Spring City is fertile, rich in various fruits, and the crops are also very productive.

Today, the Japanese invaders have invaded, and all the Central Plains has been occupied by the Japanese invaders. Now only the Sichuan, Sichuan and Southwest areas are really under the control of Chiang Kai-shek.

As the provincial capital of Yunnan, Chuncheng was much closer to the country's political and economic center with the relocation of the National Government to Chongqing. Part of the anti-war materials from Yunnan and even a large number of overseas Chinese aiding the country were transferred through Chuncheng and flowed to Chongqing.

.

Thanks to this convenience, Spring City gradually became prosperous.

"What a bastard, I haven't seen such a lively place for a long time." Bu La, who was dressed in military uniform and had his dirty face that was always dark all year round, was walking on the streets of Chuncheng, looking at the lively and bustling markets around him.

I couldn't help but sigh.

"Look at your worthless look!" Mi Long next to him looked disdainful, and even looked at him with disgust: "You've never seen this scene before?"

"I'm just a big-time soldier, how can I be as awesome as your boss?"

"Okay! If you want to quarrel, we can go back and tease you. Let's find a place to eat first." Wang Zhong interrupted the quarrel between the two, looked at a small restaurant with a good business on the street in front, and walked over quickly.

"Sister, please give me three bowls of rice noodles!"

The pot was constantly steaming. The person standing behind the stove, using a colander and long chopsticks to fiddle with the rice noodles in the pot, was a middle-aged woman who was at least in her forties. She had an unattractive appearance, thick fingers, and a strong body. At first glance,

He is someone who works all year round.

"okay!"

"What do you want to eat?"

"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes!"

"Okay! Guest, please come inside and sit down for a while. The rice noodles will be ready soon!"

The shop was not big, with an area of ​​more than thirty square meters. There were a few tables and a few stools and they were all filled. Fortunately, the proprietress used an oilcloth to pick out a section of the shop from the door, and she also set up a few tables on the street.

Wang Zhong and the others were sitting at the easternmost table.

"Camp seat! What are we doing in the provincial capital?" Mi Long couldn't help but asked curiously. He and Bu La had been holding back this question all the way, but unfortunately they didn't dare to ask. Today, I'm so confused.

The dragon also gained courage.

"What else can you do in the provincial capital? Of course it's to buy medicine for the wounded soldiers." Before Wang Zhong could answer, Bu La next to him took over.

Mi Long made a disdainful sound, glanced at Bu La, his eyes full of contempt, and immediately replied: "If you really want to buy medicine, you should at least bring money. Where is the money?"

Bu La was stunned by Mi Long, but when he thought about it carefully, it was really like this. They didn't have much money in their pockets. Even the medicine they bought from the black market were exchanged for the guns and ammunition seized on the other side.

of.

"For money?" Bu La lowered his voice for fear of being heard by others.

Mi Long didn't take it seriously: "What's going on? We won't steal or rob."

After a while, steaming rice noodles were served on the table.

"Boss, can I ask you something?"

"I'm not the boss. Where is the boss?" The middle-aged man with a white towel hanging on his shoulders chuckled and turned to look at the woman who was cooking rice noodles by the stove.

"Aren't they all the same!"

"No, no, no! That's my sister. I just help her run errands and eat at her place. This restaurant belongs to my brother-in-law and has nothing to do with me."

"I see!"

"Brother, this is my first time in Spring City. Can I ask you something?"

While he was talking, Cao Lin had already put a big ocean into his hand.

"Hehehe!" Huojihei chuckled and immediately became interested: "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask."

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "We are here from Chanda. We want to find our Jiangfang command headquarters. I wonder if I know where it is?"

"Hey! What did I think it was, just this?"

"We brought some special products from Chanda, and we wanted to come to honor the commander of our military region."

"oh···"

"I'm here to run for office, right?"

"Run official?"

"That's right, we are just here to run for office. If I know something, why don't you give me some advice?" Wang Zhong handed over his hand to the job, and then said: "If it is useful, I will never let this brother suffer."

Wang Zhong looked like he was very rich and wanted to kill him quickly. If he met a few people with evil intentions, he might be beaten severely. Fortunately, this guy was not bad, so he treated him as such.

He told Wang Zhong and others all the news that was widely circulated in the market.

For example, the commander has recently fallen in love with Du Yanmei, a leading actress in Sanxi Class, and basically brings people to support her every day.

Another example is that the chief of staff just took in the eighth wife recently.

The deputy commander was a strict henpecker, but his wife was an old hen who stood in the latrine without pooping or placing orders, so she quietly kept a few outhouses outside.

······

Not to mention, although it is difficult to tell whether these rumors on the streets are true or false, they are not necessarily groundless. Many of them are definitely true, but you need to carefully distinguish which ones are true and which ones are false.

"Yingzuo! Do you think what the waiter said is true?" Bu La finally couldn't help but ask after coming out of the rice noodle shop.

"If it's true or false, let's see and see for ourselves to find out." Wang Zhong said.

"Milong, it's time for you to take action!"

Mi Long said a bit coyly: "Even if you lead the ox to plow the fields, you have to let him fill his stomach first!"

Wang Zhong shook his head. Why couldn't he hear the underlying meaning of this guy's words? So he took out five oceans from his arms and handed them over.

"Get it!"

"By the way, let's get in touch with the supply source of your store. We're making this special trip, we can't just do one thing."

"Okay!" Milong's eyes lit up in an instant, and a bright smile appeared on his face. He arranged a time and place to meet, and ran away.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If you give him five dollars at once, you won't be afraid that he will get the money and run away!"

Bu La, who was standing next to him, looked at the retreating figure of Fa Long and said with some amusement.

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "His wife and children are still in Chanda. Even if he is given a gold mountain, he would not be willing to run away."

Bu La was stunned for a moment, then sighed.

"Why, you also want to ask for a wife?" He said bluntly: "Why should I ask for a wife? It's so good for me to be alone, free and easy, one person is full, and the whole family is not hungry."

Wang Zhong didn't bother to expose him.

"You go find a place to stay. We will stay here for ten days and a half at least this time."

"In an hour, meet at the shop where we just had rice noodles."

After giving Bula a few dollars, the two of them parted ways and wandered alone on the streets of Spring City. Wang Zhong walked aimlessly.

In the copy of "Youth", Wang Zhong came to Spring City, but it was Spring City decades later. It has changed a lot compared to today, but the general layout is still the same.

More than half an hour later, when Wang Zhong returned to the rice noodle shop, Bu La had been waiting at the door for a long time, but Mi Long was nowhere to be seen.

"Have you found a place?"

"After we've found it, you said we need to live for at least ten days and a half. I'll rent a private house for one yuan a month. How about it? It's a good deal, right?" Bu La said with a smile on his face.

"One ocean a month?"

"What kind of house are you renting?"

"Of course it's a good house. I've seen it and it's very good." Not only did Bu La speak in an exaggerated tone, he was also worried that Wang Zhong wouldn't believe him, so his actions were also a bit exaggerated.

Knowing that he couldn't get the truth out of this guy's mouth, Wang Zhong didn't bother to ask anymore. Not long after, Mi Long also rushed back. As soon as he entered the door, he picked up the teapot on the table and drank three cups in succession before giving up.

Mi Long just finished drinking the water, but before he could say anything, Wang Zhong and Bu La got up and left.

"Why are you going?" Mi Long quickly threw down the water glass and stood up in a hurry.

Wang Zhongdao: "Go to the place where you live and talk while walking!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to go out, Milong hurriedly chased after them.

"After asking clearly, what the waiter said is indeed correct. The commander in charge of the entire southwest war zone is named Jia. He is from Dali, Yunnan. He is forty-six years old. He has six wives at home. Recently, he has indeed fallen in love with a member of the Sansanxi class.

Du Yanmei joined the Sanxi class for a month and listened to Du Yanmei singing every day."

"Have you found out where it is?"

"At Yunlai Tea House."

Wang Dian nodded and asked again: "What about the supply of goods? Do you have any clues?"

"I have some clues, but I'm not sure yet. After all, it's my first time back here in the provincial capital, and if we still purchase goods from the black market and then send them to Zenda, the cost will be high."

"You can just take care of these things yourself, I just want the results."
