Chapter 430: Send someone to rescue Guo Wencheng first, and then the main force will continue to mov
At 100:100 p.m., the north gate of Ping'an County was opened, and more than horse-drawn carriages came out, loaded with one million dollars and kilograms of grain. After all the more than horse-drawn carriages left the city, the Japanese soldiers stationed at the gate immediately closed the gate and piled sandbags on the gate again to prevent Li Yunlong from taking the opportunity to capture Ping'an County.
Guo Wencheng arrived at the transaction site half an hour later with more than 100 horse-drawn carriages. Li Yunlong immediately sent Zhang Dashan to inspect the goods. After confirming that there was no problem with the front beam, Zhang Dashan led the soldiers to drive back more than 100 horse-drawn carriages, bringing Guo Wencheng with him.
"Captain Li, I did not go back on my word. I prepared 100 million silver dollars and 138 kilograms of grain exactly as you arranged. In order to express my apology for being half an hour late, I asked people to prepare an extra 100 kilograms of grain as a sincere apology. These 12 horse-drawn carriages are loaded with million silver dollars and kilograms of staple food. We did not use miscellaneous grains to fool Captain Li. Captain Li has already collected the things. Is it time to evacuate Ping'an County?" Guo Wencheng asked cautiously.
Li Yunlong didn't expect Guo Wencheng to be so considerate and sent an extra 12 kilograms of grain as an apology. He had just asked Zhang Dashan, and Guo Wencheng was not fooling anyone. The kilograms of grain were all wheat. What he did was indeed very open and aboveboard.
"Guo Wencheng, I, Li Yunlong, always keep my word. I have said this two or three times. Since you have already delivered the money and food, I will abide by the agreement and leave Ping'an County now. When we meet next time, you have to buy me a drink. I have helped you to show off in front of the Japanese, which can be regarded as a great contribution. When we meet next time, prepare a few bottles of good wine, and I will drink with you happily."
"Shen Quan, notify the brothers to retreat immediately and return to the base within three days. Let me escort the food and money in the middle, and let the brothers be more vigilant. If you find anything suspicious, shoot me immediately."
Li Yunlong got into the communication command vehicle, slammed the door shut, and led the troops to retreat from Ping'an County. Looking at Li Yunlong's back as he left, Guo Wencheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he could get this done, he could take credit in front of the devils, and his situation would be better in the future.
But what Guo Wencheng didn't know was that Mitsui Taro had already treated him as a discarded pawn. Even if he gained more benefits for Mitsui Taro, he was still used as a scapegoat and had to bear a huge black pot.
"Colonel Kuroki, Guo Wencheng is now in your hands. We will execute him soon and put the blame on him. Only then can we get away from this matter. I will send a telegram to my uncle now and explain the whole story in detail. My uncle will cover it up for us. This matter can be covered up easily!"
"Yes! Mr. Mitsui, you can leave the next matter to me without any worries. I will definitely handle this matter properly and will not leave any chance for Guo Wencheng to survive. We can also take the opportunity to swallow up Guo Wencheng's business. Besides, his family property is also a considerable amount, which can make up for some of our previous losses! To be honest, Guo Wencheng is indeed a talent. If he had not been so eccentric before, I really didn't want to kill him!" Colonel Kuroki said with some regret.
Guo Wencheng had no idea that Colonel Kuroki was going to attack him. He rode back to Ping'an County with excitement on his face. At this moment, fireworks were set off in the city, which immediately aroused Guo Wencheng's vigilance. He pulled the reins suddenly and looked towards the city of Ping'an County. After careful confirmation, he realized that they were three flares, which expressed only one meaning: run, run, run!
Guo Wencheng immediately understood the meaning of the three flares, and suddenly turned to the dock, shouting in an urgent tone: "Turn around immediately, don't go back to Ping'an County, something has happened in the city, the Japanese may attack us, and we may be used as scapegoats this time. We can't have any fluke at this time, follow me and retreat immediately, if we are slow, all of us may die here today!"
After hearing his master's order, Guo Dabing immediately took out the Mauser pistol from his waist and fired three shots to stop the somewhat chaotic team. He shouted anxiously: "Don't panic, follow the master. The more you can't panic at this time, the more you can't panic. The main force of the independent regiment hasn't gone far. As long as we catch up with the independent regiment, we can have a glimmer of hope. The devils and puppet troops will never dare to attack the independent regiment. This is our only chance. If anyone dares to escape at this time, don't blame me, Guo Dabing, for being cruel!"
Guo Wencheng also said in agreement: "Just do as Guo Dadan said, and immediately move closer to the independent regiment. Move faster. The devils and puppet troops in the city have already come out. If we don't run quickly, none of us will be able to escape!"
The people who followed Guo Wencheng were all from the Guo family, and they were loyal to the Guo family. Under the leadership of Guo Dadan, they protected Guo Wencheng and chased Li Yunlong's army. Colonel Kuroki did not expect that an accident would happen at the critical moment, which made him very angry. If he did not get rid of Guo Wencheng, he would not be able to explain to Mitsui Taro.
"Katori-kun, you must take a squadron of soldiers and dispatch them immediately. You must eliminate Guo Wencheng within half an hour. You must not let him get close to Li Yunlong, otherwise it will bring us huge trouble."
After receiving the order, Katori Morio immediately drove to pursue Guo Wencheng, urging the driver to speed up along the way. Finally, he caught up with Guo Wencheng's team after 20 minutes and immediately ordered his soldiers to launch an attack.
"Listen to me, as long as the master can escape safely, our family will be taken care of by the Guo family and live a life without worries about food and clothing. Now we are not only fighting for ourselves, but also for our families. No matter how much it costs, we have to let the master escape!"
Guo Dadan led the 160-man Guo family guard team and had a fierce exchange of fire with the Katori squadron. The battle between the two sides was very fierce, and even hand-to-hand combat broke out. Under the protection of six elite servants, Guo Wencheng continued to chase in the direction where Li Yunlong left. He had to bring back reinforcements before Guo Dadan killed all his men.
Li Yunlong fell asleep in the communication command vehicle. He had not rested the previous night and got up early this morning, so he was very sleepy. In addition, the Japanese and puppet troops were scared and did not dare to come out of Ping'an County to pursue them. Under the attack of sleepiness, Li Yunlong could no longer bear it and fell asleep.
Just when he was sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard gunshots from behind. He immediately became alert and asked anxiously, "I just heard gunshots from behind. Please contact the Second Armored Battalion immediately. I want to ask Shen Quan what happened in the rear. Could it be that the Japanese really caught up with us?"
While Li Yunlong was speaking, the communication command vehicle received a call from Shen Quan, and the telegraph operator Lei Shanhe immediately answered the call. Li Yunlong took the communicator handed over by Lei Shanhe and asked seriously: "Shen Quan, what happened back there? I just heard gunshots, and they sounded very intense. You are responsible for the rear guard of the troops, so tell me the situation in the rear!"
Shen Quan's voice came from the intercom: "Captain, according to my judgment, Guo Wencheng must have been attacked. I have sent an armored company over there. I estimate that we will be able to rescue him soon and find out the secret."
Li Yunlong finally felt relieved after confirming that it was not the Japanese who were chasing the independent regiment. However, this matter was actually related to Guo Wencheng, which made Li Yunlong very curious. However, he did not treat this matter as a big deal. He notified the troops to continue advancing and must reach the camp before nightfall.
It's not that Li Yunlong has become arrogant. The main reason is that Li Yunlong brought mechanized troops this time. The marching speed is very fast, and there are fighter jets in the sky to escort them. He really has nothing to worry about.
With the help of the 15rd Armored Company, they repelled the attack of the Katori Squadron with just one assault and rescued Guo Dadan and his party. After 160 minutes of fighting, only 9 people were left of the -man Guo family guard team. If they had arrived one or two minutes later, the entire Guo family guard team would have been wiped out.
Guo Dadan and his group of nine people got on the armored vehicle and quickly caught up with the main force. Katori Morio looked at the backs of the third armored company leaving, his face full of anger, but he had no way to deal with it. The firepower gap between the two sides was too big, which was the fundamental reason why the Katori squadron could not even stop the charge of the third armored company.
An hour later, the 3rd Armored Company caught up with the main force. They did not stop on the way but followed closely behind. Only after they arrived at the campsite did Guo Wencheng and Guo Dabing meet. After learning that there were only nine people left in the escort team, Guo Wencheng shed tears of sadness. After experiencing this incident, it was extremely difficult for the Guo family to rebuild the escort team in a short period of time.
"Master, we have to quickly borrow the independent regiment's radio to notify our family and ask them to evacuate to the mountains immediately. Fortunately, the Guo family's old house is far away from the city, and the Japanese and puppet troops will not be able to get there for a while. The people at home have one night to escape." Guo Dadan reminded hurriedly.
If Guo Dadan had not reminded him, Guo Wencheng might not have remembered this matter. He was really shocked by the Japanese's action this time. He had clearly done things for the Japanese, but he was used as a scapegoat. He was also killed by the Japanese and his family's property was swallowed up. This made him very angry inside, but thinking that the Japanese were now powerful, he could only swallow the anger in his heart and prepare to find an opportunity to retaliate in the future.
