Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Half an hour later, Ge Dali and others accompanied Christie back to the British Trading Company warehouse.

The warehouse manager greeted Christie warmly. Although he was a little confused as to why Christie came to deliver the goods in person, he did not ask.

After driving the donkey cart into the warehouse yard, Ge Dali ordered his men to take out the fifty MP18 submachine guns hidden in the straw, and then began to bide their time on the spot, ready to act at any time.

Christie said helplessly: "I have to go back to the office of the business bank. As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, staying in the warehouse all the time will arouse suspicion."

Ge Dali sneered, "You can't go anywhere. Just wait here with me. Stop talking nonsense. I'll kill you right now."

Ge Dali was very cautious in order to prevent Christie from having too much contact with other people in the Chamber of Commerce to avoid any accidents.

More than two hours later, Ge Dali said, "It's almost time. Let's drive the donkey cart out again and tell them to go back to the city to pick up another batch of goods."

Christie was shocked and said, "Oh my God! You are going to fight, to fight with the national troops, why do you have to take me with you?"

"If you don't come with us, what if the other party gets suspicious? If you don't go, I'll kill you right now!"

Faced with Ge Dali's fierce eyes, Christie could only compromise reluctantly.

The group came to the city gate again. It was the same captain from the Guo faction. When he saw Christie, he was slightly stunned. He came up to him and asked, "Mr. Christie, what are you going to do?"

Christie glanced at the company commander and slowly said, "We still have a batch of goods in Cangyuan County. I'm going to pick them up in person."

The company commander nodded, not quite understanding. With Christie's status, was it necessary for her to go and receive the goods in person?

Although he was puzzled, the captain still smiled and said, "When will your shipment arrive in the city? Let me know when the time comes, and I will arrange everything in advance, Mr. Christie."

The company commander received a bribe of one thousand yuan for the last batch of goods, so he was extremely looking forward to it.

"In about three days!"

The two were still chatting when suddenly Ge Dali came running up to them, put his arm around the company commander's neck, pulled out a pistol and pointed it at his forehead.

Other soldiers also took out their weapons and opened fire on Guo’s garrison troops at the city gate.

The sudden sound of gunfire resounded throughout the city gate. The company commander finally reacted and said with gritted teeth: "You are from the Northwest Revolutionary Army! Christie, you damn foreign devil, we in the Guo faction will not let you go!"

As soon as the battle broke out, Christie had already crawled into the city. Ge Dali didn't take it seriously, after all, he was no longer needed now.

The reason why they didn't take action when entering the city was because at that time, the Guo faction's garrison troops were at their most vigilant. It could be seen from the eyes of the company commander of the 319th Regiment that although he agreed to Christie's conditions at the time, he still remained wary of the so-called merchant company guards, and would order his men to open fire at any time if there was anything wrong.

After they entered the city and then left, the Guo faction had basically let down their guard. As expected, they were caught off guard.

Several heavy machine gunners on the city gate tower immediately turned their machine guns around and started shooting at Ge Dali and his men.

Ge Dali was quick-witted and quick-handed. He fired two consecutive shots with his rifle and eliminated two heavy firepower points. In addition, their company commander was in the hands of the enemy, so the soldiers of the 319th Regiment also had some concerns.

"Hit me hard, open the city gate! Send the signal!"

A flare rose slowly into the sky. When Xue Ding, who was two miles away, saw the flare, he was shocked and gave the order directly.

"All troops, attack! Target Hanbei City! We must attack in one fell swoop and take down Hanbei City!"

The huge convoy rushed towards Hanbei City at full speed.

At this time, the battlefield at the city gate was extremely brutal. If the company commander was controlled, the soldiers on the city wall would be afraid to act rashly. However, the situation changed immediately when Wang Xi, the deputy commander of the 319th Regiment, received the news and rushed over.

"What are you still standing there for! Shoot and kill these Northwest Revolutionary Army soldiers!"

"Deputy Commander, Captain Yang is still in the hands of the enemy."

"Don't worry about him. Destroy this enemy force as quickly as possible and seal the city gate immediately. They sneaked in and tried to seize control of the city gate, which means there must be a large force outside ready to attack at any time."

Guo's faction had two companies of troops at the city gate alone, with all kinds of light and heavy firepower, and the deputy regiment commander Wang Xi also brought a battalion of soldiers. Under the enemy's intensive firepower, Ge Dali's comrades fell one by one, and the remaining people could only use sandbags to form the simplest fortifications, lying in the shooting blind spot under the city wall, and constantly launching counterattacks.

Once the enemy attacks and successfully closes the city gate, all efforts will be in vain.

More than half of the 200 elite fighters who sneaked into Hanbei City fell in less than 20 minutes.

The rest of the people also gritted their teeth and fought to the death.

Ge Dali operated a stolen Czech light machine gun and continuously launched fire suppression on the enemy. A stray bullet had hit his left shoulder, causing half of his body to go numb and his face to turn pale. He simply tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes to wrap the wound and once again joined the battle.

"Use the grenade and take back control of the city gate for me!"

Wang Xi had a look of madness on his face. The company commander who was originally held hostage by Ge Dali had been beaten into a sieve.

Twenty or thirty grenades were thrown over with smoke coming out, and one of them even landed near Ge Dali's legs.

"Captain!" Ge Dali's guard shouted, rushed over and pressed Ge Dali under him.

A series of violent explosions sounded, and Ge Dali only felt a burning pain in his left calf. After the explosion, Ge Dali pushed away the guard who had been blown like a rag doll. His eyes were red, and he half-knelt on the ground with his injured leg. He roared angrily and fired at the Guo soldiers who were rushing over again.

There were less than eighty Northwestern Revolutionary Army soldiers around Ge Dali who were still able to fight, and almost all of them were injured. Every moment, someone fell under the gun of the 319th Regiment soldiers, with blood blooming all over their bodies.

Even in this situation, no one retreated. Even those who were seriously injured did not hesitate to light the grenade fuses tied to their bodies in order to buy time for the main force, and rushed towards the enemy crowd. Even though their bodies were riddled with holes, the determination in their eyes never changed.

This is the power of faith of the Northwest Revolutionary Army, and also their soul! Fighting for peace.

Just when they had completely run out of ammunition and food, were at the end of their rope and could no longer resist the enemy's attack, bursts of roaring motors were heard.

Ge Dali grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth. He knew that the large force of the motorized infantry brigade was coming.
