After leading the men to evacuate for more than a mile, Yu Chenglong ordered his brothers who had evacuated with him to quickly carry explosives and grenades to reinforce the middle route army at the grain depot.
He also told them that if the grain depot was successful, they would reinforce the navy captain's left army and then evacuate with them, while he would stay and wait for the brothers who had not yet withdrawn.
After a while, several black figures were seen running towards here, and then there was a violent explosion at the ammunition depot, with flames reaching into the sky and deafening.
Seven brothers ran back to him, two of them were injured, and one brother who rushed into the courtyard reported that three brothers were killed! Yu Chenglong and the brothers bent down to express their condolences to the fallen brothers, and then quickly evacuated.
After a while, the brothers who went to the front to feign an attack also withdrew. Three of them were injured, one of whom was seriously injured and was carried back.
Yu Chenglong ordered the seriously injured brother to be carried and run quickly, then he simply reorganized the team, replenished some ammunition, and led the people to retreat towards the east gate of the county.
Arriving outside the east gate of Jiangyuan County, he heard that the gunfire in the city was still fierce, but there was no gunfire in the direction of the grain depot. Yu Chenglong knew that the commander-in-chief and the others might have succeeded.
At the same time, Yu Chenglong also knew that the fierce gunshots were from the navy captain leading his brothers to fight fiercely with the little devils. It was estimated that the navy captain and the others would not be easy.
After waiting for a short time outside the east gate of the county seat, Deputy Commander Zhang and the others also withdrew and reported to Yu Chenglong that one brother had been killed and seven or eight others had been injured to varying degrees.
"The security force has more people than us. If they hadn't tried their best, our casualties would have been greater. What should we do now?"
As soon as Deputy Commander Zhang Daoxian met with Yu Chenglong, he briefly reported the situation and asked what should be done next. Yu Chenglong did not answer immediately.
He was judging the situation at hand, and with the fierce explosion of grenades, the gunfire in the city gradually became sparse. Yu Chenglong judged that the battle should be over.
"Deputy Commander Zhang, you lead the brothers to retreat first. I will lead the troops to retreat and gather at the designated location. Move quickly!"
After receiving Yu Chenglong's order, Deputy Commander Zhang Daoxian immediately led his men to retreat to the agreed direction of the mound. Yu Chenglong followed closely at the back of the team with his gun in hand.
There were no pursuers at all. Yu Chenglong and the others withdrew to the designated location in less than half an hour, while Battalion Commander Yinping and his men had already been waiting there in ambush.
It didn't take long. The commander-in-chief, Commander Xiao, and Deputy Commander Hua also arrived with their teams. Although I couldn't see clearly in the dark night, I could feel that the commander-in-chief and the others had returned home with a full load.
After the teams merged, the commander-in-chief ordered Commander Xiao's men to withdraw first with five grain trucks and one weapons truck, leaving a hundred horses behind for the brothers who arrived later to ride.
Deputy Commander Hua will continue to stay and establish a liaison station with Yinping in Jiangyuan County for the long-term use of the team in the future.
After Commander Xiao received the order, he led her team to withdraw first. The commander-in-chief also ordered Yu Chenglong to take 20 people to the post to prepare with Battalion Commander Yinping to sniper the enemies who came to pursue them.
He and Deputy Commander Zhang led the remaining brothers to Qingyang Gang, thirty miles away, to set up defenses as the second line of defense.
At the same time, Yu Chenglong was asked to tell the navy captain who was responsible for covering the rear that after they retreated here, they would immediately chase the team led by him.
Yu Chenglong and the others were told not to hold out until dawn, but to retreat when the time was almost up, and try to catch up with the commander-in-chief and the others as quickly as possible.
After the commander-in-chief and the others left, Yu Chenglong and Deputy Commander Hua brought people to the post to meet Yinping and quickly entered the blocking position.
After a while, the navy captain and others also withdrew. Yu Chenglong conveyed the commander-in-chief's order to the navy captain. The navy captain agreed and led the troops away. It seemed that their casualties were not small.
About half an hour later, on the road leading to Jiangyuan County, a car drove towards the direction where Jackie Chan and the others were blocking the attack. The lights on the car were as menacing as ghost eyes.
Yu Chenglong informed everyone to get ready, and distributed a box of grenades brought up to the brothers. It seemed that this blocking battle would never be easy. The enemy was pursuing them with great momentum, and they were approaching in the blink of an eye.
When the car drove to the intersection at Gangxia, Yu Chenglong shouted, "Hit!" 'Immediately threw the grenade in his hand at the Japs' car. There was a loud sound of gunfire, and the Japs and the guards who came to chase were instantly stunned.
When the enemy regained their composure, they organized another all-out attack. The little devil's fighting power is still very strong. He rushes up desperately and has a desperate posture.
Yu Chenglong and Yinping directed snipers on both sides, and the battle was extremely fierce. Seeing that the enemy was about to rush forward, Yinping grabbed the machine gun, stood up and fired at the Japanese and the guards, immediately suppressing the enemy's firepower.
But at this moment, the enemy's bullet came, and Yinping was hit with an "ah" sound. Upon seeing this, Yu Chenglong ordered his men to throw all the grenades in their hands at the enemy, and then stood up and fired violently at the enemy with a machine gun.
The Japanese suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat and hide behind the car. The gunfire also slowly stopped. After a while, the Japanese and the police suddenly turned around, picked up their killed and injured accomplices, and withdrew to the city.
Yu Chenglong quickly ran to the post opposite and saw Yinping lying crookedly in Hua's mother's arms, already dying. Yu Chenglong ran over and hugged Yinping, shouting loudly.
"Thank you! Jackie Chan, let me live so happily these days, remember me! You have to live well, treat my mother well, marry you... I am satisfied..."
Yinping slowly opened her eyes and weakly expressed her feelings to Jackie Chan. Yu Chenglong's heart was broken. He shouted, picked up Yinping and ran to the foot of the hill.
"Quickly, bring two horses over here. I want to go to the city to treat her injuries. You all retreat immediately and chase the commander-in-chief and the others!"
But it was too late, Yinping stopped breathing in Jackie Chan's arms. Hua's mother also ran over to see Yinping who had died, and tried to dissuade Yu Chenglong with tears in her eyes.
"Leave her to me and I'll bury her! You lead the people and evacuate quickly, the commander-in-chief is still waiting for you!"
Yu Chenglong gently handed Yinping's body to Hua's mother. He knelt down, smoothed Yinping's hair, kissed her cold face, and then stood up and left two female brothers for Hua's mother. .
At this time, the sky was about to light up. Yu Chenglong reluctantly said goodbye to Hua's mother. Before leaving, he went to tidy up Yinping's clothes before leading his brothers to retreat.
Along the way, Yu Chenglong let the injured brothers ride on the horses, and the other brothers took turns to replace the horses, running closely to catch up with the commander-in-chief and the others.
