Chapter 22 Chapter 21 Japanese Task Force

"What's the matter? What are you doing writing so many letters with the same content at the same time?" I asked Hong Ge puzzled. Before Hong Ge could answer, Er Xia said first: "Isn't this obvious? These must be family letters to family members, and the content is nothing more than that they are going to die for the country, so the content is the same, but due to various reasons, The letters were not sent." When I heard this explanation, I felt that such an explanation was more reasonable. Hong Ge nodded thoughtfully, his face darkened. He has experienced the cruelty of this war, and he may understand the helplessness and pain in it better than us.

While I was thinking about it, I glanced at the skeletons around me, and suddenly I felt something was wrong again: "It's not right! You can see that there are more than one hundred of these skeletons, but there are only more than thirty letters in this letter. The number is not right, it will never happen." Some people don’t have a share!” Ah Yan also looked at it and frowned, and Heizi said from the side: "Is it because there is not enough letter paper? It can be written in a month; more than a dozen copies?" A stack of corroded and yellowed white paper was dug out, breaking Heizi's guess.

"Since it is a last letter, even if a piece of paper is cut in half, everyone has a share, not to mention there is so much spare paper now!" Mao Jindao threw the paper back to the ground and continued, "It seems that this is not a good idea. It must be some kind of family book!" When Er Xia heard this, he picked up the opened letter and walked up to Ah Yan, saying, "Great talented woman! It's up to you, all of us don't understand Japanese, I think you must understand, you can read the above What is the content!" I understood in my heart how Er Xia knew she knew Japanese, and Er Xia probably wanted to make things difficult for her on purpose.Ah Yan, who is such a smart person, obviously knew Er Xia's intentions, she rolled her eyes and said with embarrassment: "I don't know Japanese very well, and I don't know how much I can understand!" Then she said with joy, " Oh! But I can read the signature of the writer!"

"Oh? What's the name of the writer?" Ah Yan pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Yes! It's a Japanese name, called Wujia Ebiro!" When I heard it, I almost laughed out loud. Before Er Xia could react, he was still scratching his head and muttering: "This name is weird, but this is the name of this little Japan, it belongs to Dalang and Erlang!" I couldn't bear it anymore, and burst out laughing, Er Xia suddenly realized that he was being teased, so he made a grimace, and retreated angrily. Ah Yan gave him a blank look with a smile, continued to look at the letter in her hand, and then picked up the envelope. At this time, I clearly saw that the smile on her face suddenly stopped, and then picked up a few more envelopes, looked up after reading Said to us: "The name of the recipient..."

Er Xia interrupted her and said, "Isn't it, haven't you played enough yet? I'm still here to tease you, Brother Xia, right?" Ah Yan ignored him, and handed some envelopes to Liu Shisan, saying: "The recipient is the same person, these letters are addressed to the same person, not a letter from home!" As soon as I heard it, I quickly picked up a few letters, stared at the envelope, and found out the name of the recipient. I don’t know Japanese, but as we all know, there are many Japanese characters that are the same as Chinese characters, but the meanings expressed are different. Some have opposite meanings, and some even don’t match at all. According to the appearance, I can still barely see that the two characters in front are "mountain" and "down".

Amid doubts, Ayan pointed to the third letter of the name and said: "Liaoning in our country used to be called Fengtianfu. I read a Japanese description of a Qing Dynasty jade before, and I couldn't understand it. Find someone Only after translating did I realize that it was written as a gift from Marshal Fengtian, and I learned it more carefully at the time, so my memory is still fresh." Er Xia said, "Great talented girl! Speaking of which, what exactly do you want to express?" I followed closely and said: "You mean the third character is Fengtian's Feng character?" Ah Yan nodded in affirmation and said: "What is the fourth character?".

"Yamashita Fengwen!" I was terrified and screamed out.How could the recipient be this person?Known as the "Tiger of Malay", who once swept across the Malay Peninsula, defeated the U.S. Army, and humiliated the British Army? Those who knew this person were surprised when they heard this. Liu Shisan said in surprise, "How could this happen? Could it be that these letters were really written to Yamashita Fufumi? Although Yamashita Fufumi is the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asia theater, the Burmese Front Army should not It belongs to the direct jurisdiction of Yamashita Fengfumi, and besides, Yamashita Fengfumi was stationed in Singapore at the time, and the battle line was so long, how could such a small army span such a long distance, and still maintain direct contact with Yamashita? Unless it is his very close direct line of troops!"

After hearing this, I felt that it was true. Er Xia and the others didn't seem to understand, so I briefly explained to them, and then said to Liu Shisan: "Master Liu! What do you think is going on here?" Hong Ge suddenly said, "Master Liu! I don't think this belongs to the Burmese Front Army, but more likely to be the army directly under Fengwen Yamashita, which is equivalent to a special task force, and came here to perform tasks in the deep mountains." I immediately asked Said: "Then what kind of mission is this performing? It is nothing more than looking for something or carrying out some plan. Such a small force is definitely not for supporting the Burmese battlefield."

A Yan said: "This may also be a small unit separated from the main force, but judging from the historical data and the current situation, this is more like the special task force that Hong Ge said was responsible for some kind of plan. It was ordered to carry out some mission, and it was a very secretive operation." When it comes to Fengwen Yamashita here, I have to mention some of his deeds, the most famous of which is his rumored astonishing treasure.After the Pearl Harbor incident, the Pacific War broke out. In the early stage, the Japanese army not only achieved fruitful naval battles, but also carried out extremely rapid land attacks in Southeast Asia.Yamashita Fengwen led the Japanese army to defeat the US and British troops in Southeast Asia. He was unstoppable and won the title of "Malay Tiger". When he became famous in the world, he also began to directly participate in the plunder and extortion of the treasures of the conquered countries. activity.

It is said that the wealth plundered by the Japanese army in more than ten countries in the southeast is conservatively estimated to be more than 50 billion U.S. dollars. By the end of the war, the situation of the Japanese army was already very unfavorable. The sea routes were almost completely blocked by the Allied forces. These treasures could not be shipped to Japan. The mainland, so they were hidden by the Japanese army on the spot. No one knows exactly where it is hidden. According to rumors, there are more than 700 treasure locations, some in the Philippines, and some in Singapore. In short, there are different opinions.

While pondering, Hong Ge and the others checked the surroundings of the skeleton again, but found no content that could indicate their troop number. They could only barely discern that the officer was a lieutenant officer, probably a company captain or something. I felt even more confused, and asked Hong Ge puzzledly: "Why did Fengwen send troops here? I know there are rumors about his treasure, but it has nothing to do with this place!" I don't know What kind of mission this army is performing may be clear only after understanding the content of the letter, but unfortunately, no one here can understand Japanese. Er Xia said: "Hey! Do you think they are also here to find some snake palace? Maybe they brought their guys to fight against each other! They are doing it with open guns and live ammunition!" We listened and no one expressed an opinion. It is hard to say whether the purpose of this Japanese army is really the case. I prefer to believe that these are just deserters, so that my already messy brain can get a moment of peace. Er Xia said again: "Huanzi! I thought of a question, do you think this place has nothing to do with that Emperor Yongli? We haven't found any traces of him now!" I said to him: "This doesn't explain anything. At that time, it was hundreds of years ago, and the traces were lost by later people. It's hard to say whether this place is really a Longevity Cave, or whether an emperor really came here." , the echo of "long live" may be left behind by the Japanese soldiers shouting, the pronunciation of long live in Japanese seems to be very similar to that in Chinese." Mao Jindao came over and gently pushed me and said, "Okay! Don't guess yet, let's have a good rest, we have to continue tomorrow!" After speaking, he bent down and picked up a big gun, aiming with gestures. Hong Ge also picked up the root and tried it, and said happily: "These guns can still be used! They can still be useful!" As soon as we heard what he said, we gathered together one after another, and each held a big gun. Not to mention it was really enjoyable. Hong Ge taught us how to load, aim, and pull the trigger. They had a great time learning it. There was a crisp sound of "bang", which was especially loud in this quiet cave, and we were all taken aback. When we were surprised and annoyed, Er Xia sat down on the ground, stroked his head and said: "Hey! I accidentally went off the fire. Damn, this guy's recoil is really strong, he just couldn't stop!" After saying this, he got up and patted his buttocks, "I don't know where the shot hit! This cave can still It's a solid wall, how can I feel that the bullet hit a piece of pig iron when I heard the sound? It's loud!" I only paid attention to the embarrassment of the second shrimp falling, and didn't pay attention to discerning the sound at all. For a moment, it seemed that there was an echo of metal collision, and then I felt strange again. Mao Jindao was obviously also surprised, raised the flashlight in his hand and scanned around, suddenly there were two iron doors on the far stone wall opposite the entrance of the cave, we quickly moved over and took a closer look to confirm again It is an iron door, the surface has been rusted, it can be seen that it has been a few years, but it is very thick.The door is inlaid with a snake head with a copper ring. It seems that vermilion lacquer has been painted on the surface, but most of it has fallen off. There are intricate patterns carved on the door leaf. The outside of the door is not locked. I don’t know if it is locked inside. latch. "Why is there a door here? Was it built by the Japanese soldiers? Could it be an arsenal inside?" A Mao asked us. I was also confused about the iron gate that appeared out of nowhere in this cave. I pushed it lightly and there was no response. It can be seen that the corroded battle map was used by the Japanese army to study the situation map.We thought it was getting in the way under our feet, so a few people stepped forward to lift it aside, and put it directly behind us. Suddenly, there was a "click", followed by a harsh metal friction sound. We took a closer look and saw that the two iron doors were slowly opened a crack and were slowly opening inwards.
