After getting the car, the entire Ninth Regiment changed their guns for guns. Everyone got in the car and drove out of Harbin.
"Captain, get in the car, won't we arrive at the battlefield soon?"
Kenji Sato asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, as long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. When we get in the car, we can also make the car drive very slowly and stuff this can under the driver's accelerator."
Wei Wu said holding an empty can.
"He won't find out?"
Kenji Sato was a little worried.
"He didn't dare to find out."
Wei Wu shook the tortoise box in his hand and said.
"Understood."
Under the stunned eyes of the auto soldiers, Sato Kenji stuffed the can under the accelerator.
"Sir, the car can't accelerate like this."
The car soldier said.
"Life is already short, so don't take shortcuts."
Sato patted the auto soldier on the shoulder: "Drive well, and the benefits will inevitably come to you."
Sato took advantage of the situation and stuffed two ten-yen bills into the other party's pocket.
After looking at the banknotes equivalent to two months' salary, the auto soldier decisively shut up.
Anyway, the road conditions here are not good, so I don’t dare to drive fast because of the road conditions, so I can get by after repairing the car a few times on the road.
The auto soldier had already thought of an excuse to delay.
The motorcade slowly drove out of Harbin and slowly headed towards Nomenkan.
The distance between Harbin and Nomenkan is about 700 kilometers. Even if the urban driving speed is 40 kilometers per hour, it will take 20 hours.
If you march in a hurry, it is completely achievable to control it within 13 hours.
However, after Wei Wu's motorcade set off, they drove for a whole day and only drove 20 kilometers.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Wu ordered the car to stop and everyone got out of the car to cook.
"Sir, it's still early before dark, so we can still drive for a while."
The auto soldier looked up at the sky and said.
The latitude here is relatively high, and it gets dark late in the summer, and sometimes it's still light after 7pm.
It's about five o'clock and it's bright.
It’s a bit weird to start cooking now.
"What's the hurry? It's been a day of driving. You're not tired. The car is tired. This car is a valuable asset of the empire. I'm tired. Are you responsible? Let it rest well. We'll have to work hard tomorrow. Come and sit. Let’s have a drink and a meal.”
Without saying anything, Wei Wu gave the car soldier a bottle of sake and a smoked chicken leg.
"This this……"
Looking at the fragrant smoked chicken legs, the auto soldier almost shed tears.
This was the first time he had eaten meat other than the canned food ration.
The salty and tender chicken legs were dripping with oil, making him salivate.
In the automobile wing, only officers above the squadron leader are eligible to use this delicacy.
A big-shot soldier like him only deserves a quota.
"This, is this for me?"
The auto soldier looked in disbelief.
"Of course, this is for you. Just follow us and don't dare to say anything else. I guarantee that you will have this quality of food every day."
Wei Wu said with a smile.
Hearing Wei Wu's words, an idea suddenly came to the Auto Soldier's mind.
That is to say, I hope this journey can be longer.
The longer, the better.
It's best to keep going like this forever.
In this way, he can have chicken legs to eat every day.
Unknowingly, the auto soldiers were bribed.
And it's just a chicken leg.
While having dinner, Wei Wu received a telegram from Yamashita Fengwen asking where Wei Wu was.
"Call back to the commander of the Yamashita Division. Our army has already left the station and is accelerating towards the battlefield. We are traveling day and night and will arrive at the battlefield in the next few days."
After returning the call, Wei Wu greeted everyone to continue drinking and eating meat, so happy.
After eating and drinking, everyone who had been "tired" for a day camped on the spot to rest and wait until they continue their journey tomorrow.
At night, Wei Wu sent a message to Yang Guangye, telling him that Harbin's city defense was currently empty, and informed him of the locations of several important material warehouses.
Let the other party take advantage of the favorable time to do business quickly and get some funds so that they can continue to trade with you.
Yang Guangye was extremely happy after receiving the news.
It is impossible to say that the last major sweep had no impact.
Although Wei Wu revealed the news in advance, many people were able to move safely and the losses were reduced.
However, in order to intercept the ambushing Japanese troops, the two sides also fought large and small battles.
Some personnel and equipment were lost.
Many villages were burned down by the angry Japanese.
Some fields were also destroyed.
This year's harvest will certainly be affected.
Additional supplies must be obtained, otherwise, food shortages or famine may occur.
After learning about Harbin's urban defense situation, Yang Guangye was very excited.
As long as he can capture a warehouse, his problems can be greatly alleviated.
The only problem is that because of the last raid, he is a bit far away from Harbin, so it will take more time to travel.
Yang Guangye organized his men overnight and headed for Harbin with all the carriages.
Wei Wu continued to lead his men towards Nomenkan at a leisurely pace of 20 kilometers per day.
"Captain, there are troops catching up from behind."
Kenji Sato reports.
"Are there troops catching up?"
Wei Wu hurriedly leaned out and looked back with a telescope.
Sure enough, a fully loaded Japanese army was coming quickly in the distance.
The team was all infantry, but seemed to be marching faster than they were traveling in cars.
"Which part is it?"
Wei Wu took a look and asked.
"I asked, he is from the Sendai Division."
Kenji Sato said.
"It turned out to be those crazy people."
Wei Wu nodded.
Different from Osaka, the people in Sendai are more aloof. In the eyes of Osaka people, this group of people is a group of war lunatics.
Many soldiers came from down-and-out samurai families.
They are even more fanatical, hoping to restore the glory of their ancestors through military exploits.
Therefore, it is reasonable that these people are more motivated than the Osaka Division.
After seeing Wei Wu's Osaka Division, the people in the Sendai Division seemed to have been pumped with blood, and the commander even ordered everyone to run forward.
Soon, the people from the Sendai Division caught up.
Looking at the slowly advancing car, the people from the Sendai Division made mocking sounds.
Then, it quickly passed by and disappeared into the smoke and dust in the distance.
"This is so irritating, Captain, do you want us to speed up and catch up?"
The car soldier couldn't bear this kind of ridicule and wanted to step on the accelerator.
"What are you chasing after? Are you rushing to die?"
Wei Wu sneered and looked ahead.
"Keep driving at this speed, and by the time we arrive, we'll be able to catch them."
