The Poles had arrived in some fashion and then slunk away defeated, but in the process of driving them off, Gao Yang and his companions naturally lost the chance to leave on the plane that had brought the Poles as well.
The Poles were gone and the security situation had eased somewhat, and with Li Jinfang staying behind, Kolm decided it was unnecessary to look for new armed security and simply left the original guards under the command of Li Jinfang.
After a one-day delay, Gao Yang and his group took a small plane procured by Kolm and went directly to Juba.
