Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Recalling the Past

There are three military shovels in total, so they just happened to be divided among the three of us soldiers. Anyway, they are not ancient relics, so it should not be considered a crime to steal them.Company Commander Wang was really worried about those unconscious people, so he took us back immediately, and he wanted to take the others to leave Xuanzang Pavilion immediately.However, everyone was in a coma, how could it be possible to climb down with so many people on their backs.Facing my question, Company Commander Wang frowned in distress. Now he has no energy, so he can only give up.At present, we can only wait for them to wake up, and then slowly leave here.

Taking advantage of the spare time, Xu Shaode and I forced Company Commander Wang to briefly talk about Bao Xihan.It turned out that Bao Xihan was the overlord bandit who ran rampant in the Huoyan Mountain from 1938 to 1945. The military could not eliminate him, but in the end due to internal strife, Bao Xihan's bandit group gradually disappeared.However, when they were rampant, several batches of very important supplies passed through the Huoyanshan area. Wang Lianchang said that during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, more foreigners came and went to Turpan for tourism, missionary work, business, and investigation. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Silk Road was once an important channel for transporting Soviet aid to China.According to statistics, from July 1937 to the summer of 1938, about 6,000 tons of various materials entered the country through the Horgos Port in northern Xinjiang, and were transported to the anti-Japanese front line via Turpan. In 1942, the United Kingdom also brought aid materials to China from Khorgos through the Central Asia region of the Soviet Union, and transported them to the mainland via Turpan.

Among the routes used by Western countries to support anti-Japanese materials, there is one that passes through the Flaming Mountains, known as the FR1 route in history, but this route has a roadblock-Bao Xihan. In 1941, a British army headed by General Joy White entered the country from Khorgos from Central Asia of the Soviet Union. At that time, in addition to transporting materials from the country to support China, there were also engineering equipment donated by the Soviet Union.However, on May 8, 1941, they were ambushed by Bao Xihan in Huoyan Mountain. All the equipment was looted and almost all the soldiers were killed. Did not dare to drink water.

"Aren't they a well-equipped army? How could they be beaten up like this by bandits?" Xu Shaode asked, scratching his head. "The water source next to their camp has been poisoned, so... hey..." Company Commander Wang said very seriously, which made me feel a pain in my heart. "Then you mean, Bao Xihan and the others put all the things they robbed here?" I finished speaking and glanced at the blocked passage. "It should be." After Wang Lianchang finished speaking, his expression seemed to be a little too painful. "So, there should be other ways!" I shouted.

Because we came in from the puddle, but the air bridge is closed and the terrain is steep, how could it be possible to bring so many looted things here.The bridge connects the two ends. In fact, I always thought that there should be holes at both ends. The reason why the opposite end can’t see the hole is that it should have been closed during the Gaochang period under Qu Wentai’s rule, so as to prevent outsiders from invading Xuanzang Pavilion. , although we still don't know the function of Xuanzang Pavilion. Since it didn't come from the air bridge, there must be other ways, so we still have a way to survive, and we don't need to go back and fight Honghaier.

"Company commander, according to Brother Wanzang, we can go out from other places later." Xu Shaode said happily. "By the way, company commander, how do you know so much about the matter of Bao Xihan's looting of that army." I found it strange, so I got to the bottom of it. "Why do you care so much, kid?" Company Commander Wang blushed, and immediately became serious. "Tell me." Because Company Commander Wang hasn't read many books, I always find it incredible that he can know such a detailed history. "Actually, there is nothing we can't say, because the person who supported that army was my father, so..." Company Commander Wang sighed.

"Company Commander, so your father..." I wanted to say that your father was already dead, but I immediately felt that this was rude, so I immediately shut up, but after thinking about it, since his father was dead at that time, how could he I know the situation at that time, and it is so detailed. "It's okay." Company Commander Wang looked pale, probably physically and mentally exhausted, "Father was killed by bandits at the time, but I was also there!" "You're here too!?" Xu Shaode and I were extremely surprised. "Father knew it was impossible to escape, so in a hurry, he threw me into a shaft and saved my life." After the chatterbox was opened, Company Commander Wang completely ignored Xu Shaode and me and said to himself, "The shaft It was very deep. Although I could swim at that time, I felt very scared at the time. The clear water turned into blood. I wandered in the dark ditch for three days, but I couldn't climb out. Later, a kind girl happened to pass by. rescued me."

"That woman is..." I already had a choice in my mind. "It's Xiao He. At that time, she and the people from the organization came here to support, but it was too late when they arrived." After finishing speaking, Company Commander Wang glanced at the unconscious Professor He Kai, "Actually, it wasn't me who didn't save me last time." You, but I am afraid of water, that experience made me always afraid to go into the water, but now I am not afraid anymore." "Let me just say, how could the company commander see death and refuse to save him." I smiled, but actually said in my heart, it turns out that you, the old man, are also afraid sometimes.

"Company commander, tell me more about Bao Xihan, how did they perish?" Xu Shaode crossed his legs after finishing speaking, watching the posture, ready to listen to the story. Company Commander Wang was stunned for a moment, probably because he thought that this kid was such a spoiler, when he was about to be sad, he wanted to hear the story of a bandit, he probably was a bandit in his previous life.Company Commander Wang frowned, and then told us the rest of the matter.Because foreign support materials were looted several times, so on July 18, 1941, Chiang Kai-shek sent an army called "Condor Eagle" active in Xinjiang to wipe out Bao Xihan. It is called "Operation Golden Eagle" in the records.This "Condor" was led by a man named Jin Shenbing, but when they reached the range of Bao Xihan, the army disappeared mysteriously, and no one appeared in the world again, just like disappearing from the world.

"Evaporation?!" Xu Shaode and I said in unison again, could it be that the entire army disappeared without even firing a bullet, isn't that too shameful? "I don't know about that. Anyway, no one showed up, but I've heard that the army is very special. I think it's very strange that they were sent to pack Shihan!" Company Commander Wang said. As soon as I heard it, I felt that there was something in it, and I felt like imitating Xu Shaode's cross-legged appearance, so I pricked up my ears and listened.At this time, I was so engrossed in listening to Company Commander Wang's story that I ignored the changes in my body, and the water droplets gradually soaked through my clothes.

"What's so strange about this, isn't the army just for fighting?" Xu Shaode was still curious. "What you don't know is that the 'Divine Eagle' is an army that roams all over China. It has never been in direct conflict with other forces. It doesn't look like an army that fights at all. I can't tell. Anyway, this army is very strange.' The Shenying was originally unknown, but when the Kuomintang fled to Taiwan, the military information was discovered by a special agent surnamed Qin. Later, for some reason, the "Shenying" was leaked, but the "Shenying" 'The purpose of forming a team has always been a mystery...ahem..." Company Commander Wang coughed badly when he said this. "Agent?" I whispered. "Let's not talk for now, let's see if they are awake?" Company Commander Wang's tongue was so dry that it smoked, and he didn't bother to continue telling the story. "Not yet, are they okay?" Xu Shaode checked one by one. "It will be fine, they will wake up in a while, let's go up and have a look." Company Commander Wang saw that there was still a layer of space above, so he said. "Don't, at least wait until they wake up, leave them like this, in case something happens..." I hesitated. "Alright." Company Commander Wang glanced back at Professor He Kai, then sat aside again. In fact, up to now, I still regret stopping Company Commander Wang from going up to see what happened. If I hadn't done so at that time, the result might have been better later on.Xu Shaode groped Professor Lu Cheng all over the place. When I saw it, I immediately asked him if he had a habit of cutting off his sleeves.He nervously explained that he wanted to see if there were any confidential documents on Professor Lu Cheng's body, and he didn't want to die here without knowing anything.As soon as I heard it, I immediately jumped up and patted my head, how could I forget about it.I also want to know, why are they here! "Don't mess around!" Company Commander Wang stopped immediately. "Company commander..." Xu Shaode felt aggrieved. I just wanted to speak and express my opinion, but Company Commander Wang and Xu Shaode were full of panic, and I also felt a gust of dark wind blowing behind me. Turning my head quickly, a mouthful of fishy saliva flew towards my face, the black snake girl is not dead!Now she shaped her bulky body into a pillar and stuck her head behind me.I was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react, the black snake woman pinched my neck with her small and sharp hands, and then with a whoosh, she pulled me to the lower space. I wanted to resist at first, but my body changed unsuitably. This change was so strong that I could hardly control it.In an instant, the body seemed to be flooded with tens of thousands of tons, the eyeballs were filled with water, as if it was about to flow out, and the throat seemed to be scratched by claws, which was extremely uncomfortable. Company Commander Wang, Xu Shaode and the others were on the top, even if they jumped off, it would be too late now, not to mention the distance between the upper and lower floors is huge, if they jump off, they will be disabled even if they don't die.The black snake girl opened her mouth wide, revealing a cyan snake core. Her appearance is scarier than a ghost. If it wasn't for my consciousness becoming blurred, I would definitely faint from shock. "You are Princess Changle?" I deliberately squeezed out this sentence from my throat, hoping to buy time for myself. Sure enough, the Black Snake girl was stunned. Although the strength binding me hadn't weakened, tears flowed from her snake-like eyes.
