Delivery man on the battlefield: Start with the sword

Chapter 219 is coming to an end
This time, Xiao Gaga's retreat was different from the previous ones. In the past, when they retreated, they would use a large number of mortar shells to harass Wang Zhifei and his men, and would never let Wang Zhifei and his men get a good rest.

This time they were surprisingly quiet. In Wang Zhifei's sight, Xiao Gaga's mortar was also being retracted and retreating into the distance.

"What are these guys up to?"

The Saker Falcon was circling above them, and Little Gaga was giving a speech out of Wang Zhifei's reach.

After a while, the captain of Xiao Gaga's squadron came over on horseback, followed by an interpreter.

"Kick kick kick..."

The one and a half meter tall little Gaga, riding a tall horse, looks like a monkey squatting on the horse. It looks uncoordinated no matter how you look at it. However, his bow legs match the horse's belly quite well.

"Yo!? You're a squadron commander! How dare you come over here so blatantly? Are you looking for death?!" Wang Zhifei raised his gun.

"Eh?! Mr. Jin, wait a minute! There are so many people watching us. If we shoot him to death like this, it will seem like we are afraid of him. Let's see what he says first."

"What are you talking about? What's that?"

"Defenders of the Sihang Warehouse, who among you is the highest commander? Do you dare to speak out? I am the commander of the 68th Regiment of the 5th Infantry Brigade, a colonel of the Imperial Guards. Do you have the courage to come out and talk?"

A little Gaga translator nearby shouted in stiff words.

"I'll go meet him!" Captain Xie stood up and was about to go downstairs.

"Wait a minute, Commander, there's a man riding a tall horse on the opposite side, are you just going to just walk over there?" Xiao Hubei grabbed the commander's clothes.

"That……"

Wang Zhifei thought about it and said: That’s right, we can’t just let it go like this, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
"Fellow villagers across the street, we need a horse, a horse that can be ridden. Can anyone bring it over?"

Hey, if you don’t have the face, go find the big brother!
Soon, a saddled and fully-bridled white horse came running over from the other side of the bridge.

Captain Xie straightened his military uniform, went down from the second floor, mounted his horse, and followed by Qi Jiaming, the guy who looked like Zhang Lixian, and came in front of Captain Xiao Gaga.

"Lieutenant Colonel Xie Jinyuan of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division." said Commander Xie.

"You are very tenacious. In the past three months, you are the only opponent worthy of respect. I know that you must have received the order to retreat.

We have also received orders to use heavy artillery. Once the heavy artillery is used, the Sihang Warehouse will be unable to withstand it and the battle will be over soon.

You, and your team, will be forgotten and this will be meaningless."

“This has nothing to do with me!”

"Of course it has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with me! Tonight, someone will take over my command, and I will become a loser. I don't accept it! No one in our wing accepts it!
The meeting I asked you to come out to is not for the military, but for you and me! I want to see what the person who made me fail looks like.

In addition, I would like to inform you that you should have a good rest. I will launch an attack at 8:30, an attack that will not stop for a moment and will use all my strength to attack.

Go back and prepare yourself, this is a battle of honor between you and me."

"My honor is already in my hand, right there, and your honor will never be obtained!"

……

When Captain Xie came back and told Wang Zhifei about it, Wang Zhifei squinted his eyes and said, "Interesting, we haven't received the order to retreat yet, but the little Gaga on the opposite side got it first.

No wonder we always lose battles. Our intelligence system has become a sieve, and the combat missions reach the enemy before the soldiers do.

The other side knows both itself and the enemy, while we don't even know ourselves, so it's strange that we haven't been defeated. However, they are right about one thing, that is, we should retreat."

"Retreat? Can we retreat? All the roads are blocked. Even though the foreigners in the opposite concession threw so many things at us, we didn't stop them. That's because we are still here.

If we cross the bridge, then Little Gaga will have a reason to chase us across the bridge. What's more, there are so many people with guns watching us, they won't let us pass.

As long as they stop us for a bit, without the protection of the Sihang Warehouse, we will definitely be wiped out by the chasing little Gaga." "Huh? Who told you that we have to retreat to the concession? And if you retreat according to the plan given by the superiors, you will be dead.

Don’t you think about it, from the four northern provinces all the way here, little Gaga has been unstoppable.

No matter whether they are elite troops or strong troops, none of them can fight. You, a small regiment commander, have blocked an army of 40,000 for so many days with the help of a sturdy building.

With your unsociable behavior, even if your superiors don't kill you, your friendly forces will definitely take advantage of your misfortune.

It's like falling into a cesspool and you want to climb out, but you wonder if the people in the cesspool will pull you out.

The first rafter to stick out is the first to rot. I had originally thought that they would consider us the guardians of the Sihang Warehouse and wait for things to cool down for a while before dealing with you, but I didn’t expect them to be so impatient.”

"Wait a minute? What's going on? I don't understand a bit."

Captain Xie's brain is a little out of focus.

"What didn't you understand? They want to kill you! They said you should withdraw to the concession, but what will happen after you withdraw?
In order to avoid misunderstanding, the gun must be handed over, right? After all, there are more than 400 people here, how many people in their concession have guns?

If you don't hand it over, they won't feel at ease.

We can't let you walk around randomly, right? We're afraid it will affect public security.

Then, after Little Gaga stabilized the situation, he asked the consul to arrest you. Do you think those cowardly consuls would offend Little Gaga because of you?"

"Then, where should we retreat to?"

"Don't worry. I have already thought of a retreat plan. Don't worry. We will withdraw at dawn tomorrow. The most important thing now is to get through today."

Wang Zhifei patted Captain Xie on the shoulder and said.

……

"Buzz!"

"Ouch..."

The shrill air defense alarm sounded, and Xiao Gaga's first wave of attack began. Unexpectedly, their first wave of attack came from the sky.

A row of three A5M carrier-based aircraft flew over from a distance.

"Run! Little Gaga's plane!"

"Da da da……"

The planes dived towards the Sihang Warehouse, in which state they could fire bullets into the machine gun positions on the third floor.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

This machine gun position protects against the enemy below and artillery shells, but it cannot protect against the strafing fire from fighter planes diagonally above.

Wang Zhifei had already set up Anzio, but seeing their indiscriminate shooting, the defenders became chaotic, so he quickly told everyone to retreat.

"Attention! Stay away from windows and beware of mortar shells."

"Whoosh whoosh..."

"Hey..."

White smoke filled the air. This time it was not a poison gas bomb but a smoke bomb, and it was thrown below to cover Little Gaga's charge.
