Wang Zhizhen saw that the Sun Nation's army had shrunk their forces and consolidated the Green River defense line. There was no profit to be made, so he ordered them to return.
On the way, Monk Li looked at the person in front of him and said, Brother, why haven't I seen this gun before? What's its name?”
The four soldiers carrying the Maxim heavy machine gun looked at Monk Li proudly and said," Old bumpkin, this is called the Maxim heavy machine gun. How could you have seen it before?"”
"Brother, look at how heavy the heavy machine guns are. Why don't you put them in our car and follow us? I'll give you a ride, okay? Heavy machine guns were really good, but they were too heavy!”Monk Li said casually.
The four warriors looked at each other and said in unison," How can I do this? Sorry to disturb you!”The four of them got into the car together.
"I'm fine!" The monk said. We're all brothers. Walk faster on the road. Be careful not to be caught by the Japanese. I think this brother's rifle is quite heavy. Why don't I carry it for you?”
"This, this, this, how can I be so embarrassed?”
"I'm fine! You guys have been fighting for a few days. We just came and didn't even get to fight. We've done our best to carry your weapons for you.
"Thank you, brother!"
"You're welcome!"
On the way, there were cavalrymen constantly asking the soldiers by the roadside to help them carry their guns. These brothers were also willing to give their guns to them and let them carry them. After all, they were running for their lives. Who would be willing to carry such a heavy thing? If they wanted to carry it, let them carry it! Moreover, they each had a rifle, so they could still snatch theirs. How could he fight with two rifles? Besides, they were both officers. Wang Zhizhen had already been appointed as the defense envoy of the four cities!
Yes! Wang Zhizhen's order was that they could not enter the four cities in front of them and had to go straight to Andong City.
The infantrymen and cavalrymen could still keep up with each other on foot at the beginning; however, they gradually lost their pace. Because all the infantrymen slowed down a lot after walking for a while. At this moment, Monk Li also stood up and told his brother," Brother, your rifle is with me. Take it back!" Our orders are to speed up. You guys are walking a little slow, so we have to speed up and enter the city. Therefore, we have to return this rifle to you!“
"Don't be like this, brother! We are also going to enter the city. How about this? You help me take it back to your camp. We will go to find you then. This spear is heavy. Anyway, we are all officers.”said one of the arranged shills.
"That's right! We've walked for more than ten miles, and it's already difficult to walk. We have to carry guns, so how can we still walk back to Urban area? The Sun Nation's army has been chasing us. There's still more than twenty miles, and we still have at least a day to return to the city. Brother, you can reach here in two to three hours by riding a horse. Help!”
"Yeah, help me!" All the infantrymen pleaded with Monk Li.
"Ah, brother, what are you talking about? How about this? I'll help you take the blame. When the time comes, you can look for us. We are the personal guards of Commander Wang Zhizhen.
"So it's Officer Wang's personal guards, then what's there to worry about?! Brothers, give them the rifles!”
"Alright then! I'll see you in the city and regret it! Go!"
"Monk Li, you're really something. How did you know that they would still let us carry them?”
"Sir, you don't understand. They are as tired as dogs walking like this. If they walked for half a day, they could carry it on their own. They have already walked for a day, and there is still a day's journey of more than 20 miles ahead. Besides, we are a senior officer. Everyone loves to be greedy. I think they are the same! They were all running for their lives! Life is definitely more important!"
"Haha! You're right, kid! He has a good grasp of his heart!"
" Thank you for the compliment, sir!
Wang Zhizhen rushed to the four cities to take up the post of defense envoy. After that, she did a thorough investigation of the four cities 'county treasuries. The four cities' treasuries only had 200,000 taels of silver, but it was better than nothing.
"I'm ordering all of this silver to be transported to Andong City.”Wang Zhizhen proposed a four-city restriction, and the county magistrate wanted to stop it. However, under Wang Zhizhen's high pressure, he agreed.
" This is the front line. This bro can't defend it. We're just putting up a resistance. We're just trying to help him. Have all the grain, cloth, medicinal herbs, and silver in the granary be transported to Andong City. There's a big girl and a young wife in the city. Have them go to Andong City. He wanted to tell them that the devils were like animals, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.”
As the county magistrate had personally evacuated the people, most people chose to stay in the city, but there were still a small number of people who sent their daughters or wives to Andong City. After all, that was the rear. Therefore, from the first day Wang Zhizhen arrived here, a large number of people evacuated from the four cities.
Wang Zhizhen had deployed more than 2,000 soldiers in Youyan and Phoenix City. He told these soldiers that he only ordered them to guard the city for two days. After two days, they could abandon the city and return to Andong City. Each of the two cities would send one to join the army to preside over military affairs. If the two of them retreated within two days, all officers below the rank of joining the army would be executed.
The two soldiers who joined the army, or the soldiers who guarded the two cities, were mostly retired from the war in the Bangzi Kingdom. They had all heard of Wang Zhizhen's military orders. He would do what he said and would not show any mercy. It had only been two days, but the two soldiers had also made up their minds to fight a good battle. Otherwise, they would look too cowardly if they ran away every time. They were upright soldiers.
After Wang Zhizhen finished setting up the defenses of the two cities, he immediately headed to Nine Links City and Kuandian City, which were ten miles behind him, to reinforce the defenses. Wang Zhizhen's plan was to use the tactic of blocking layer by layer until the end.
The 30,000 people at the Green River defense line were defeated by the Sun Nation's army. Only a few of them died, at least 15000 of them. On the way to the four cities, they did not have rifles in their hands. Therefore, Wang Zhizhen planned to send them all back to Andong City. After all, that was a military base. There was enough money, food, and weapons. It only took time to arm them. Therefore, the four cities had to take on the task of blocking and delaying as long as possible until he finished organizing all the troops. He quickly ordered all the soldiers without rifles to move to Andong City.
