Chapter 328: I ate too much

Manchurian Xinxing Hotel. Third floor.

The atmosphere is unusually tense. Everyone is very nervous. Including Moriguchi Muta.

The support did not arrive. But the phone can be connected.

Imai Takeo told them that Miyamoto had already set off with reinforcements. A total of twenty people. Fully armed.

In a display of his own bravery, Miyamoto had even brought his Major's sword.

Miyamoto, who had just been promoted to Major, was very motivated.

'Hagya...'

Takeshi Kishida gritted his teeth. At the same time, he was terrified.

There was only one possibility for the reinforcements not having arrived. They had been intercepted. They had been wiped out.

Otherwise, at least someone would have come out to make a phone call to report the situation.

However, there was no one. This meant that none of them had escaped. Either they were all dead, or they had been captured alive.

Including that so-called Miyamoto from the Miyamoto family.

Was this guy an impostor?

Usually he claimed to be very powerful, right? But when it came down to the crunch, he was useless.

It was terrifying.

I never thought the Fukuoka Restoration Association would be so overbearing.

Twenty people, all experts, and not a single one of them bothered to send a message.

'Retreat at night!'

Moriguchi Muta said in a deep voice. He was scared too.

No one was afraid of death. Especially not the top brass like them. Of course they wouldn't die easily.

Unless they were facing certain death. There was no chance of escape.

'The second half of the night,'

said Takeo Kishida, his voice hoarse. He was weak.

This was not a retreat. It was an escape. It was just a nicer way of putting it. And whether it would succeed was still unknown.

If the Chinese had been able to wipe out their reinforcements, they were certainly capable of destroying them.

Whether they could escape depended entirely on the goddess Amaterasu.

'Is there anyone watching outside?'

'Unknown.'

'Let's split up.'

'Okay. I'll go the Tianheng Road. You go the Tianxin Road.'

'That's it!'

Kishida Takeo agreed. Both roads were small roads.

On both sides of the main road were street lamps. Or there were neon lights in front of the shops. It would be easy to be discovered.

However, neither the Tianheng Road nor the Tianxin Road had any. At night, both roads were pitch black. On both sides were also relatively run-down residential buildings. Walking on such small roads, separately, the Chinese would not be able to intercept them all.

An immediate evacuation plan was arranged.

All secret documents that could be destroyed were destroyed. They burned everything they could.

At the same time, all the goods were divided into two parts and carried separately. This was to prevent all of it from falling into the hands of the Chinese. There were still tens of thousands of dollars. There were also some pounds sterling, US dollars, and so on.

'Hey, it's a pity...' Moriguchi Muta suddenly sighed.

It was hard to accumulate wealth! They had to move it back to Hongkou.

After they returned to Hongkou, they would no longer be able to dispose of it freely. They must be handed over to the military. It's the same as being confiscated by the military.

It's depressing...

In fact, it's no different from being robbed by the Chinese.

You must know that the Marines are stationed in Hongkou. The Navy's idiots will definitely not be nice to them.

To be honest, it's safe to go back. But they won't suffer less.

Therefore, unless there is no other choice, they are unwilling to go back.

It's more free outside.

Going back and being watched by the Navy idiots every day?

"Baka!'

It's all that damned Zhang Yong's fault.

He's the culprit. He must be cursed a hundred thousand times.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Night fell.

The two men cautiously watched the movements outside the hotel.

There didn't seem to be anything unusual.

Everything seemed to be the same as usual. The insects were chirping as usual. Nothing had changed.

However, deep down in their hearts, the two men always felt uneasy.

Perhaps, in the darkness outside, there was an evil eye spying on them...

'Baka!'

'Impossible!'

'Impossible!'

Moriguchi Muta suddenly tried desperately to reassure himself.

But inadvertently, he thought of the terrifying Shuriken. Hurriedly, he took out the talisman of the demon sword Muramasa and prayed.

'You...'

Kishida Takeo was speechless.

This Moriguchi Muta actually believed in the demon sword Muramasa?

Don't you know that the demon sword Muramasa will bring you bad luck? Everything related to it is ominous!

Fortunately, he and Moriguchi had parted ways.

Otherwise, it was entirely possible that he would be affected by his bad luck.

Gradually, it got late at night...

It was still quiet outside.

Upon closer inspection, there was still nothing unusual.

'Act at 3am,'

Kishida Takeo finally ordered.

Moriguchi Muta did not agree. He was prepared to leave early.

What if the Chinese launched an attack in the middle of the night? He felt that he could not hold out until 3am in the city of Ling.

It would be better to leave early.

Take advantage of the fact that there was no movement outside and leave early.

However, he did not know that, in the darkness outside, someone was waiting quietly.

This person was Zhang Yong. There were also Guo Qiyun and Kou Xingde.

The three of them were sitting in a car, silently hidden in the darkness.

The map showed the edge, just at the Manchurian Xinxing Hotel. As long as the red dot moved, Zhang Yong could detect it.

There was no movement of the red dot.

It seemed that the Japanese invaders had not yet made any moves to retreat.

'Are you sleepy?'

'No,'

Guo Qiyun replied.

He really wasn't tired. He was still a little excited.

He had mainly enjoyed killing the Japanese today. He had fought in three consecutive battles.

The first battle had been very frustrating. But the second battle had made up for it. By the third battle, it was like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves!

'Why are you tired?' said Kou Xingde. "I haven't been this excited in years.'

'Team Leader Kou, when did you join the army?" Zhang Yong asked curiously.

'In the tenth year of the Republic,'

'That long?'

'Yes. We fought countless battles. Unfortunately, I didn't catch the most intense one.'

'What was the most intense one?'

'The battle of Huizhou.'

'Oh...'

Zhang Yong thoughtfully searched his memory.

The battle of Huizhou? When was that? The Eastern Expedition against Chen Jiongming? That was impressive. It was such a long time ago.

It seems that was the first battle for the Huangpu students. Many big shots in the National Army started to emerge during that battle. Of course, those who were unlucky died just after graduating from school.

'I wonder how those guys are doing with the digging,' Kou Xingde changed the subject.

'Just dig a little. It's not much to ask,' Zhang Yong said indifferently, 'as long as it can slow down the car a little.'

'What if the Japanese invaders find the road is too bad and choose another road?'

'So it can't be too bad!'

'Right...'

Kou Xingde nodded.

After dinner, Zhang Yong arranged to go digging.

In fact, they were going to dig holes in the few remote back roads leading back to Hongkou.

Every ten metres or so, they would dig a hole. There were no other requirements. One foot deep. Three feet wide would be about right.

The aim was to make the cars bounce around a lot. They couldn't go fast.

If the Japanese really did choose to retreat along those remote back roads, they would slow them down, and they could set up an ambush ahead.

Kou Xingde was worried that the holes would be inadequate. If they were dug too shallowly, they wouldn't be very useful.

Zhang Yong was worried that they were being too honest. They dug too deep. They couldn't get through. They might as well change the route. That would be troublesome.

However, at this moment, they didn't know the situation with the digging. There was no way to give instructions. They could only take things one step at a time. They had to completely rely on fate.

'The Japanese are moving,' Zhang Yong suddenly said.

'So soon?' Koxinga immediately quietly started the vehicle. Without the headlights on. Quietly backing up.

Zhang Yong and Guo Qiyun raised their binoculars and looked at the entrance to the hotel.

However, it was dark there. Apparently the lights had been switched off on purpose. But after a while, there were car lights.

Soon, five cars set off from the hotel and disappeared into the darkness.

'What road are they taking?'

'I don't know.'

'What should we do then? How do we intercept them?'

'Follow them for a short while first. See what road they're taking.'

'Okay!'

Kou Xingde drove and followed.

He always kept a distance of more than 200 metres. So as not to be discovered.

He also dared not turn on the high beams. He drove cautiously with the low beams.

The map showed that the red dot was heading north.

Zhang Yong was puzzled. Where were they going to go around? They couldn't go back to Baoshan County, could they?

Suddenly, the red dot entered a small road.

He let out a sigh of relief. The Japanese invaders had indeed chosen a remote and small road.

Then there would be no problem.

He immediately rushed to the front to intercept. They would catch them all in one go.

'Turn back. Let's go to Zhongxing Road. Inform the others and intercept them heading north.'

'Okay!'

Kou Xingde gave the direction, immediately accelerated, and sped all the way.

It was already late at night, and on the main road, they could run very fast.

They arrived at a speed of more than 70 miles per hour. Gather the team. Take a detour. Quickly encircle north.

Finally, the red dot came into view again.

Fortunately, the red dot was not moving fast. It should be a difficult road.

The road, which was already difficult to drive on, was pitted with holes from digging, so it would be strange if the speed could be fast.

There were times when Moriguchi wanted to take another road, but he was worried that the other roads would also be full of potholes. Changing roads would just waste time.

In the end, Moriguchi chose the Tayong Road. It's fine to go slowly. The Chinese shouldn't expect them to take this road. There's no one following.

It seems like they've confirmed that there are no enemies following. It seems safe.

Little did he know...

His enemies had already deployed an intercept ahead.

'What's the third road counting from the north?'

'It seems to be Tianheng Road?'

'Speed up! We'll intercept on Tianheng Road! Send someone to flank from behind!'

'Okay!'

Kou Xingde accelerated.

The others hurriedly followed.

At this time, the Red Dot team had not yet arrived.

'Zhongyang.'

'Here!'

'Did you dig the road too badly?'

'No!'

'It feels like the pothole task was exceeded?'

'Some people ate too much. They need to move around. To digest...'

'And?'

'The holes are a bit close together. There's one every seven or eight metres.'

'No wonder...'

Zhang Yong understood.

It really was 'excessive' to complete the task.

Everyone had eaten too much.

The Brazilian barbecue was delicious.

It is estimated that the Japanese soldiers walking on such a bad road had their kidney stones shaken out.

The red dot is getting closer and closer...

150 metres...

100 metres...

Everyone had already entered ambush position.

Moriguchi and the others were completely unaware of the ambush ahead. Everyone was too dazed by the bumps to be aware of anything.

Some people really did get kidney stones from the sudden jolts. Some people started vomiting.

'Hagya...'

Moriguchi cursed under his breath.

What a shitty road. Songhu actually had such a shitty road!

He himself had chosen a shitty road!

What terrible luck.

'Boom!'

Suddenly, there was a loud noise.

Moriguchi Muta felt a violent impact. He almost flew out of the car.

He hadn't fastened his seat belt...

No, wait. Seat belts hadn't been invented yet.

'Damn it!'

he cursed angrily.

The driver was dumbfounded. It had fallen into a pit.

Literally.

A big pit.

Both wheels had gone down.

There was no way to get out.

He pressed the accelerator.

'Boom boom boom...'

'Boom boom boom...'

The engine roared. It was as if it was going to explode.

But the wheels could never get out of the deep pit.

'Hagya!'

Moriguchi Morita cursed angrily.

What kind of shitty road is this!

He vowed that he would never take such a shitty road again!

Hagah!

Zhang Yong also turned his head and looked at Zhongyang and the others.

It was all these guys' doing.

Digging such a big pit.

Well, they have directly intercepted the Japanese convoy.

No need to do anything. Just a deep pit will block the Japanese convoy dead. It can't move at all.

Never mind, let's do it!

Such a good opportunity, just solve it with a wave of attacks.

'Go!'

'Go!'
