Chapter 430: Old Li returned to the battlefield to break through the county before dawn
In a forest outside Gujiao County, members of the special forces surrounded each other and looked around with vigilance.
"Click!"
As the handcuffs and shackles were opened, Zhou Jixian slowly stood up and bowed deeply to Li Yunlong.
"Captain Li took the risk to save my old bones. I am very grateful!"
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou doesn't have to take it seriously. Save you. Yu Gong is the order of his superiors. Yu Privately, you are Xiao Zhou's father."
"Mr. Zhou, I will arrange someone to take you to the nearest local troops in a while, and they will escort you to our station!"
Zhou Jixian was stunned: "What? Commander Li won't go back?"
Li Yunlong nodded: "The troops in front are still fighting. As a leader of the regiment, how can I go back first?"
"What's more, since the large army has come out now, we naturally can't go back like this."
Zhou Jixian nodded. Just as he was about to say something, Xu Hu and Zhao Jie hurried back: "Captain, the Japanese have all been led away, but the place here is so big, we have to evacuate quickly!"
Li Yunlong nodded and said, "You will take Mr. Zhou Jixian to leave later. I will go five kilometers west to the base of the 771st Regiment."
"Tell Captain Xu and ask him to arrange someone to send Mr. Zhou back to Ping'an County!"
"Others, I'm going to go with me to find Captain Kong and the others. Since we are here, we will defeat Gujiao County!"
"Yes!" Everyone answered and accepted the order.
Zhou Weiguo slowly stood up, knelt down at Zhou Jixian and said, "Dad, we are so short-lived in our meeting, but we have military orders and cannot accompany you back. You must take care of yourself on the way back this time."
Zhou Jixian walked to Zhou Weiguo in a slow manner and helped him up: "Weiguo, you have grown taller and grown up, and you are very pleased for your father."
"Since there is a military order, don't delay it anymore. Follow Commander Li to fight the Japanese."
"Remember, you are my Zhou Jixian's son. The Japanese pirates are driving away and my son returns home!"
"Yes!" Zhou Weiguo wiped away his tears, stood up slowly, and then quickly followed Li Yunlong's pace and headed towards another direction in Gujiao County.
Looking at Zhou Weiguo's back as he left, Zhou Jixian's old father, who was over 50 years old, turned red again, but he chose to turn around stubbornly.
At the same time, on the other side of Gujiao County, Kong Jie looked at Ding Wei with an anxious look on his face.
"Damn, we have been chasing the Japanese for so long, and I don't know if Lao Li and the others have succeeded."
Ding Wei also said impatiently: "Old Li's movements are slow enough this time. If it were normal, we would have been the Gujiao County towns."
At this moment, Zhang Dabiao hurriedly ran to the two of them with a big knife on his back: "Two regiment commanders, the Japanese cannons have been moved to the city tower."
"If we don't retreat, once the Japanese attack is launched, our troops will probably suffer heavy losses!"
Hearing the report of growing up, Kong Jie and Ding Wei frowned.
They had been entangled with the Japanese devils for almost eight hours. They were obviously able to bomb Kaixian Town directly, but considering Li Yunlong's order, they could only fight and beg for the Japanese devils, which gave them enough time to prepare!
"Then don't wait, order the troops and fire directly!"
Just as the two were still hesitating whether to retreat, a sound came from behind them that made them feel at ease.
"Old Li!" Ding Wei and Kong Jie exclaimed at the same time.
"Have you rescued Mr. Zhou?" Ding Wei asked.
Li Yunlong nodded: "The person has been rescued successfully. Now order the troops to launch an attack immediately and capture Gujiao County before dawn!"
"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao responded, then turned around and left.
At the same time, Ichiro Ono on the city tower looked at the soldiers beside him with a proud look on his face.
"Everyone says that Li Yunlong's troops are powerful in combat, and I can't stand Er!"
"In eight hours, they still did not break through Gujiao County, which shows how perfect our defense deployment is!"
The Japanese soldier nodded and slapped his horse, "This is all thanks to the smart arrangements of the captain!"
"But my subordinates believe that the most important thing is that we have hostages. Li Yunlong's troops are afraid of being attacked, so they are unable to completely let go of their hands and feet to launch an attack on us!"
Ichiro Ono laughed: "This is the case with the Chinese troops, they always take too much into consideration."
"It's just a half-in-the-earth old man. If it were replaced by the imperial army, he would have launched a full-scale attack at this time. In the face of the imperial plan, even my father could be sacrificed."
"By the way! How are the imperial artillery prepared? You should be able to attack the Chinese people directly, right?"
The Japanese soldier nodded: "The artillery has been in place, and the rest is enough to transport the shells!"
"It is estimated that in another twenty minutes, our firepower will be able to bomb the Chinese troops for up to five minutes."
Ono nodded and couldn't help laughing: "As long as you can kill Li Yunlong, the Prime Minister will definitely ask for me at that time, and maybe you can be promoted to Lieutenant General and the strength of a large detachment."
Speaking of this, Ichiro Ono showed a proud smile, as if everything was already destined.
"Go! Bring the old man Zhou Jixian up here, I want him to see with his own eyes. Because of his reasons, Li Yunlong's troops are about to be destroyed."
"Hayi!" The Japanese soldiers responded, and as soon as they turned around, they saw the previous Japanese squadron leader running up panting.
"Report to the captain, three hours ago, a small army from the Eighth Route Army smuggled into the county town and rescued Zhou Jixian from the prison."
"Nani?" Ichiro Ono's eyes widened and looked at the squadron leader with disbelief.
"Baga! You idiots, don't you know that Zhou Jixian is our amulet?"
"Li Yunlong's troops dare not act rashly because he is still in our hands."
"Hurry, send two teams immediately and catch Zhou Jixian no matter what, regardless of life or death!"
The Japanese squadron leader smiled bitterly and said, "Captain, I have sent a small team to chase the small team, but there is no news at present, and I'm afraid they have escaped!"
Ono suddenly felt dizzy, and after a while he calmed down, he turned his head and said, "Order the troops to speed up the handling of shells."
"Without Zhou Jixian, Li Yunlong's troops will soon launch an attack. They must take the initiative before they launch an attack and eliminate them!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of wind breaking in his ears, and then shells exploded on the city tower.
Suddenly the bricks and tiles collapsed and the dust raised directly submerged them.
Ichiro Ono roared, and before he could give orders, a new round of artillery fire came again.
In less than half an hour, the outer city tower of Gujiao County turned into ruins.
A moment after the charge rang, the soldiers of the new regiment rushed to the city tower first, which also meant that Gujiao County had returned to the hands of the Chinese!
Chapter completed!
