Chapter 31 Chapter 2 Kemuren

I remember that in college, a public class teacher nagged many times, saying that in the "Atlas of the People's Republic of China" issued at that time, the boundary between Yunnan Province and the Tibet Autonomous Region - the boundary between the Nujiang River and the Lancang River The watershed is marked as "Meili Snow Mountain".However, this naming method is actually wrong, and the correct name should be "Simang Daxueshan". (That was the name at the time, I don’t know if it has been corrected now.) Simang Snow Mountain is composed of two connected mountains on the same main ridge.From the Shuola Pass in the north of Simang Snow Mountain to the north to the northernmost point, this section is about 50 kilometers long and is the real "Meili Snow Mountain". Meili Snow Mountain only accounts for one-third of the entire Simang Snow Mountain.

The name "Meili Snow Mountain" comes from the Japanese imperialist invaders in the past.During the invasion of China, Japan dispatched a large number of spies, using various identities, to penetrate into almost every corner of China.In the old China era, the maps of China printed by the Japanese Army were more detailed than the various maps printed by China itself. The name "Meili Snow Mountain" was originally transferred from a military map printed by the Japanese Army.Of course, this also shows that the Japanese secret agents did not fully investigate the Simang Snow Mountain. They only went to the north of it, which is today's Shuola Mountain Pass area.

The Japanese sent spies to go deep into the Simang Daxue Mountain. Why, let's put it aside for now.In order to let everyone better understand the following story, I need to talk about what happened in Meili Snow Mountain on January 3, 1991.On that day, 11 Japanese mountaineers and 6 Chinese alpine athletes disappeared forever overnight from the camp at an altitude of 5,100 meters.What natural disaster took their lives, an avalanche, ice burst, or something else, remains a mystery. However, it is worth mentioning that in order to climb Meili Snow Mountain, Japan applied to China three times, on February 26, 1984, August 1986, and November 1986.It was not until the third time that Yoshiichiro Watanabe, the vice president of the Joetsu Mountain Association of Japan, put forward a request to China to climb Meili Snow Mountain through Professor Zhou Zheng, a consultant of the China International Sports Tourism Company.

That trip was unsuccessful, but it brought a wealth of topographic information to later Japanese climbers.Up to now, Meili Snow Mountain is still the virgin peak, and no one can climb to the top, although it is not the highest peak in the world.But because of this, it is famous all over the world. "It seems that they picked the right person." Yuan Yuanyuan looked at me and pondered for a while, and said, "You were thinking about Meili Snow Mountain just now, so let me tell you why we went there first?" "Aren't you going to dig up the remains? I'm not competent, so you can find someone else." I immediately refused.

"Why are you so lively, I haven't finished yet." Yuan Yuanyuan laughed happily. "Then why are you looking for me?" I didn't understand. "Well, I can't say it yet." Yuan Yuanyuan's ability to pretend to be stupefied suddenly reminded me of Fan Li. They had almost the same reaction when encountering critical matters. "Then you said, you want an introduction, why go there?" I just fell in love with her, and instantly collapsed. Dealing with this kind of person who doesn't talk about it is the most tiring. "To find something that Japanese spies were looking for during World War II, I can only say so much for the time being." Yuan Yuanyuan said.

"Okay, okay." I said perfunctorily, but I thought in my heart, why did my head short-circuit just now, it's best not to ask about such confidential matters, because I know a lot, and be careful not to be silenced by them. "Come here, don't stand there stupidly." Yuan Yuanyuan smiled sweetly, and I walked over involuntarily, and she continued, "Let me show you something first, and I will try to tell you what happened on the way first." Curiously, I stretched my head to see that it was a very old photo, which seemed to be something from the last century.The photo shows an elderly man, dressed in tree bark, with a wrinkled face, looking a bit weird, with the tropical rainforest behind him.From the looks of it, it should be somewhere on the border of Yunnan.However, Yuan Yuanyuan said that the man was from Kemu, the only ethnic group among the 56 ethnic groups in China that was not included in these 56 categories.The theory of this nation has political significance, let’s not talk about why it is not among the 56 nations.

Let me first talk about the villages of the Kemu people in the 1990s. There were only a few villages, and all of them were distributed in the rain forests of Mengla County, Yunnan Province and the suburbs of Jinghong City, which border Laos and Myanmar.Although their village is not far away from Meili Snow Mountain, it is still out of reach. How could the Kemu people be involved? I saw Yuan Yuanyuan wanted to continue explaining, so I quickly asked her to stop, and said, "Don't go on, I haven't understood yet. Even if you want to find someone, at least find someone who understands what happened. Why bother?" I?"

"You have confused me." Yuan Yuanyuan threw the photo to me and sighed. "I don't know? Then you're still looking for me, are you out of your mind?" I couldn't laugh or cry about this ridiculous thing. "Don't ask me about that. Anyway, if it wasn't for the arrangement from above, you wouldn't be able to get out of the army so easily." Yuan Yuanyuan said. I think what she said is right, although I don't know why I was chosen, but it is absolutely impossible to bring a soldier out of the regiment without the arrangement from above.Now that they are all in the thief's car, let's just listen to what they are going to do. I just hope they don't cross the river and tear down the bridge after they are done, and let me move my head.

"Come here, sit down!" Yuan Yuanyuan looked like a leader, just like a teacher educating students. I obediently sat next to her and listened to her explain some of the things: From October 1934 to October 1936, the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army held the world-famous 25,000-mile Long March. The Central Red Army and the Red Second Front Army (Red Second and Sixth Army Corps) passed through Yunnan successively and wrote a glorious page in the history of Yunnan revolution.Among them, the Red Second Front Army (Red Second and Sixth Army Corps), led by He Long, Ren Porridge, Xiao Ke, etc., set off from Sangzhi, Hunan Province for the Long March, entered Yunnan from Guizhou, and moved to 24 counties. Heqing county enters Lijiang county.

However, just before the Red Second Front Army (Red Second and Sixth Army Corps) completely entered Lijiang, the last platoon failed to keep up because they lost their way.This platoon was led by a man named Xu Qian. Because of the wrong direction, they finally arrived at Deqin County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, which is the only way to Meili Snow Mountain.After they figured out the direction, they were going to go back immediately, but they found a Japanese spy who had gone crazy.After the Japanese spy was captured, only a photo was found on his body, and nothing else was found.

Originally, Xu Qian wanted to shoot the spy, but he felt that his behavior was a bit strange.It stands to reason that the spies are excellent both mentally and physically, and it is not easy to go crazy.Xu Qian thought he was pretending and wanted to escape, but after several attempts, he couldn't figure out why.In Xu Qian's eyes, the spies were all spying on the military situation. In order to avoid the leak of the military situation, the spy was escorted back to Lijiang by him.However, after the escort arrived, the spy frightened himself to death because of mental problems.To be precise, the spy had been sleeping at that time, but suddenly yelled, and then died. At that time, the Red Army of the Long March did not have too much doubt about this, and the matter was left alone, but the photo of the Japanese spy was transferred to a person in charge of the Ministry of National Defense of the Nationalist Government.It wasn't until the end of the Anti-Japanese War that they discovered from their relevant records that the Japanese spy at that time was Hiroshi Nakamura. On January 5, 1937, the eve of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government sent a "Condor" team Entered the Meili Snow Mountain. However, there is no record in any documents about why they entered the mountain, and the records about the "Condor" Legion are even more sporadic.However, there is one most important thing, that is, in the relevant records, the result of the "Condor" operation was a failure.Even so, the government after the founding of the People's Republic of China did not pay much attention to this photo, but when it came time to sort out the documents left by the Japanese, it deciphered an encrypted document.This document was found in a building where the Japanese army was stationed east of Xuanhua Street in Harbin. A safe may have been left behind due to the hasty evacuation. Speaking of Xuanhua Street in Harbin, there is something to be said. On August 16, 1933, Japan secretly established the Furui Institute of Bacteria in the east of Xuanhua Street in Harbin City, anonymously as "Kamo Troop" and "Nara Troop", and publicly called "Ministry of Epidemic Prevention".In 1928, the Japanese army sent Shiro Ishii, the leader of Unit 731, to study abroad. After 1930, Shiro Ishii advocated germ warfare, which was supported by the Japanese army. In that encrypted document, it was mentioned that Shiro Ishii sent a group of ten spies to the Meili Snow Mountain, where Yunnan and Tibet meet, to find something related to germ warfare.In this list, one person is Hiroshi Nakamura, the crazy spy that Xu Qian found in Deqin County.As for what it is, it is very vague in the encrypted document, and how did Ishii Shiro know that there is such a thing in Meili Snow Mountain, the document does not say. When I heard this, I felt that Shiro Ishii knew that there was something he was looking for in China. Maybe he encountered some things or people when he went abroad in 1928. As for who and what, it is not clear.Shiro Ishii traveled to Europe, Asia, Africa, and the United States during that period. It is not easy to find out in such a wide area. "But, you don't seem to have mentioned that photo, so what is the connection?" I took a thorough look at the photo, but I couldn't see the inner world. "Why do you like to interrupt me so much? That photo and the story behind it must be what you men yearn for." Yuan Yuanyuan smiled mysteriously. The train had already started at this time, rumbling southward, under the black night, the train looked a little lonely.And this trip, at the time, I never thought that it would completely change my life.
