"Brothers! Now, I announce the order from my superior!"
Xie Jinyuan said as he looked at his brothers in front of him and began to announce his orders.
"Orders from the higher-ups!"
"All members of the 524th Regiment, 1st Battalion, retreat to the concession at 12 o'clock tonight!”
As soon as he finished speaking, it immediately caused an uproar.
"Retreat? Why should we retreat?"
"We've already written our wills, and now you want us to retreat?”
"The people of Hu City sent us so many condolences to support our resistance. Now that we have withdrawn, what will the people think of us?”
"I'm not retreating. Whoever wants to retreat can retreat!"
"Even if it's against the military order, I have to stay!”
……
"Everyone, quiet down! Let me finish."
Xie Jinyuan raised his hand and shouted loudly.
Hearing that their regiment commander still had something to say, the soldiers immediately shut up and all stared at Xie Jinyuan.
"I know that you are unwilling to retreat. I am the same as you. I don't want to retreat either!”
"Other than the injured who must retreat, those who want to stay behind can stand behind me!”
"Those who want to retreat can also retreat. You are not deserters. After you meet up with the main force, you can still continue to fight!”
Xie Jinyuan's words were very simple and straightforward.
The four company commanders didn't hesitate and stood behind Xie Jinyuan.
Soon after, the soldiers all came behind their respective company commanders.
Although there were a few who chose to retreat, there were not many.
Most of the people who chose to retreat were new recruits.
"Guild Leader, my injuries aren't serious. I can still continue fighting. Let me stay, I don't want to leave!”
"Captain, I still have one hand. I can still shoot! Really!"
"Captain, I'm fine too. I can still fight! Let me stay!"
"My brother died here! I'm not leaving! I'll die here!"
"Brothers! Listen to me."
Xie Jinyuan looked at the bandaged soldiers in front of him, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Understood!"
The injured soldiers cried out.
In the end, only the uninjured warriors remained. There were a total of 108 people.
Soon, it was night time, and it was time to evacuate.
The concession had already sent out a signal, and a group of foreign soldiers surrounded the garbage bridge.
"Brothers, see you in the next life! Live well!"
Xie Jinyuan said very solemnly, at the same time saluting the soldiers and wounded who were preparing to retreat.
The others who stayed behind immediately saluted.
No one blamed those who wanted to retreat, because they had also contributed to this battle.
The people of the south bank were also waiting on the other side of the river. They wanted to welcome their hero!
No one treated these people as deserters.
They had proven everything with their actions.
However, there were too many Japanese people now. It was already not easy for this lone army to hold on until now.
The wounded looked back every three steps, their eyes filled with reluctance.
It was the place where they had fought, the place where their comrades had died, and the place where their brothers were prepared to defend.
"Hurry up! Hurry up and help!"
The foreigners looked warily at the Japanese in the distance. They helped carry the stretcher and quickly retreated.
They were afraid that the Japanese would shoot them.
Fortunately, there was no danger, and all the evacuated people arrived safely at the South Bank Settlement.
Qin Tian, Xie Jinyuan, and the others all stood on the roof, watching the soldiers leave.
Qin Tian asked.
"Then do you regret it?"
Xie Jinyuan looked at Qin Tian, and the two of them smiled at each other.
Sometimes, the friendship between men was that simple.
The foreigners and Japanese in the concession, as well as the Blue Party members in charge of receiving them, were all waiting for Xie Jinyuan and the others to come out.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement at all.
"Where's your Guild Leader? Why aren't you coming out yet?"
The Blue Party representative asked.
The retreating warrior turned to look at the warehouse.
All the retreating soldiers looked at the warehouse.
Salute!
The person in charge of receiving them was about to explode in anger. They had agreed to retreat, but now they were not retreating!
No one paid attention to the person in charge of receiving them.
The others were still guarding the four-row warehouse!
How could the Japanese not understand that they had been played!
These Chinese people had no intention of retreating from the start, and they only agreed to evacuate because they wanted to send the injured out.
"Baka! Attack immediately! At all costs! He had to take down the four-row warehouse before dawn!”
Matsui immediately gave the order after receiving the news.
Those who dared to play tricks on the Ri He Empire would have to pay the price!
After receiving the order, Yamazaki immediately prepared to attack.
With so many injured people coming out, how many people could there be in the warehouse now?
If he couldn't take it off now, he could do a C-section.
Seeing that the Japanese were about to take action again, the foreign devils immediately retreated. They did not want to die.
Although the Blue Party's people in charge of receiving them were helpless, they could only bring these injured people back to report.
When the division commander received this news, he was so angry that he flipped the table.
However, he had no choice. He couldn't go to the four-row warehouse to enforce the battlefield discipline.
Xie Jinyuan, those fools, were courting death. He didn't want to die.
When he wanted to call Xie Jinyuan to scold him, he realized that the phone couldn't get through.
The telephone line in the warehouse had long been cut off by Qin Tian.
He didn't want to hear that bullsh * t teacher's voice anymore.
"Brothers, tonight might be our last battle. Do you regret it?”
Xie Jinyuan said loudly.
"I won't regret it!"
"The person beside me is me…"
Boom!
Before Xie Jinyuan could finish speaking, a cannonball hit the outer wall of the warehouse.
