Yu Wen's movements were very discreet; he casually and quietly engaged the safety on his pistol.
The faint "click" was barely masked by the surrounding noise. He then calmly tucked the gun into his waistband and got out of the car with an air of nonchalance.
"I've been feeling so suffocated these past few days, I came down to get some fresh air."
As Yu Wen spoke, he stretched and yawned to loosen his muscles.
His adjutant understood immediately and silently followed behind him, cocking his pistol.
Yu Wen's plan was simple.
He planned to work with his adjutant to eliminate Li Qi and his group first; once Li Qi was dead, the situation would descend into chaos.
Then he would control nearly a company of soldiers who would obey his orders completely.
For those officers who dared to disobey, they were swiftly and decisively killed as a warning to others.
In this era, most soldiers in the Kuomintang army lacked independent thought, and as long as the officers dared not act rashly, Yu Wen was confident that he could completely control this group.
By then, he would have achieved his goal of betraying his country and defecting to the enemy.
However, he did not realize that Pan Jianglei clearly saw him turn off the safety of the pistol and then casually put it back in his waistband.
Just as Battalion Commander Pan was about to speak up to remind him, a terrible thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.
Yu Wenke was originally Boss Dai's bodyguard. Someone who has undergone rigorous training should, in theory, be more careful and thorough in controlling these details.
How could I make such a basic mistake?
No, no!
Pan Jianglei immediately became alert and became extremely vigilant.
Immediately afterwards, he saw Yu Wen and his adjutant walk toward Deputy Station Chief Li's bulletproof car.
Pan Jianglei got out of the car without making a sound. His eyes were fixed on Yu Wen's back. His hand quietly reached for the pistol at his waist, and he turned off the safety, so that the pistol was ready to fire at any time.
At this moment, Yu Wen was under great tension and did not realize that Pan Jianglei had already gotten off the bus.
He and his adjutant exchanged a glance, and then Yu Wen nodded slightly.
In that instant, the two of them darted forward and rushed to Li Qi's car.
They almost simultaneously drew pistols from their waists, pointed the dark muzzles at the people inside the car, and opened fire wildly.
At that time, bulletproof glass technology was still in its early stages of development, consisting of multiple layers of glass and plastic composites, and its protective capabilities were limited.
A handgun can penetrate glass and kill people inside a car if fired at close range.
The adjutant fired several shots into the driver's seat, and the driver instantly collapsed, lifeless.
Meanwhile, Yu Wen fired wildly at the back seat where Li Qi and Nakamura Kenichi were.
Seeing this, Li Qi did not hesitate at all and suddenly shielded Nakamura Kenichi with his body.
His body jerked violently as he was shot several times, and blood instantly stained his clothes.
Upon hearing the sudden gunfire, the soldiers on the truck jumped off and quickly prepared for battle.
Their eyes were filled with tension and confusion, wondering what had happened in this sudden turn of events.
Just then, Pan Jianglei pulled out his pistol, and with two crisp gunshots, the bullets accurately hit Yu Wen and his adjutant.
The two traitors died on the spot, falling straight down in a pool of blood.
At that time, Pan Jianglei had considered a million possibilities, but he never expected it to be like this.
Yu Wen has gone completely mad!
Then, Pan Jianglei quickly raised his pistol and fired several shots into the sky.
He then roared:
"Put all the guns down!"
He was, after all, a veteran of this unit and held a certain prestige among the soldiers.
The soldiers were completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on with this sudden turn of events.
However, their long-standing military discipline and sense of obedience to their superiors led them to hesitate briefly before choosing to obey Pan Jianglei's orders and placing their weapons on the ground.
Then, Pan Jianglei ran wildly toward the car in front.
His steps were hurried and heavy, each step kicking up a patch of mud.
After running to the car, he banged on the car door.
Upon seeing this, the secretary, who was sitting in the passenger seat, quickly opened the car door.
The scene inside the car was horrific. The driver was dead, and Nakamura Kenichi was so frightened that his face turned ashen, as if he had lost his soul, his face covered in Li Qi's blood.
However, he was fortunate enough to escape injury.
"Cough cough..."
Li Qi coughed painfully a few times.
He was shot three times; one shot hit his right shoulder, and another hit his right arm, leaving the arm almost numb.
Another shot hit his right chest, and blood was seeping from the wound, staining his clothes red.
Fortunately, the bullet's lethality was greatly reduced after it pierced the bulletproof glass, and it did not penetrate his lungs.
This can be considered a narrow escape from death.
"Medic! Medic, come here!"
Pan Jianglei shouted at the top of his lungs.
His eyes were full of anxiety, but he did not panic or become helpless.
Battalion Commander Pan acted swiftly, reaching into his shirt pocket to retrieve a basic medical kit for individual soldiers.
He quickly opened the medical kit and took out a roll of gauze.
Carefully pressing the gauze onto the wound on Li Qi's right chest, they tried to stop the continuous bleeding.
At this moment, the military doctor rushed over and gave Li Qi some basic treatment.
The nearest town is less than 20 miles away; a car can reach it in no time by driving at full speed.
The secretary threw the dead driver's body out of the car and then started the engine.
The car was like a roaring steel behemoth, speeding wildly along the muddy road.
The wheels spun rapidly, kicking up mud and water along the way. Despite the terrible road conditions, the speed remained undiminished, and the driving was quite smooth.
It has to be said that the secretary's driving skills are even better than the driver's.
......
Su Mingzhe sat quietly in his office. He had been waiting there for half a day, and every minute and every second was agonizing.
Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the suffocating silence; it was Luo Dayou.
"Enter."
Su Mingzhe's voice carried a hint of urgency.
Upon hearing the order, Luo Dayou walked in carrying a telegram.
Then, Luo Dayou respectfully handed the telegram to Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe took the telegram, and his eyes instantly became extremely focused.
I read it carefully, word by word, my eyes lingering on each character, afraid of missing even the slightest bit of content.
After reading the telegram, Su Mingzhe felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, Li Qi is still alive.
--------------------
The emotional buildup is almost done; I probably won't write this kind of thing anymore. The protagonist can now go all out and dominate the battlefield.
