Chapter Seventy-Four: Siege V
Commander Fang and Nighthawk stood on the chariot, holding binoculars and looking at Dihua City, which was full of smoke and dust! Almost half of the city was covered by fires. The shelling has been silent for about three hours, but the damage caused by the shelling continues! The houses that were not blown up were set on fire with the help of the wind, and the raging fire had a tendency to spread in an instant!
Nighthawk put down his binoculars and said with a worried face, "Commander Fang, let's bombard the city like this!" The top brass won't blame, right? What a loss? It's all the hard work of the people! ”
Commander Fang turned his head and looked at Nighthawk with a funny expression: "Comrade Nighthawk, how can you say such a thing?" Money is important, or the lives of our fighters are important! The city is gone, we can rebuild, the lives of the warriors are gone! What's the use of accompanying a city! What can be done to restore the hearts of those wounded mothers? ”
Nighthawk's face was a little embarrassed! Commander Fang's words were very correct, the death of the black bear made him haunted by it to this day, and he couldn't forgive himself! But they are here to protect the property of the country and the people, and Commander Fang's words are a little contradictory!
Commander Fang looked at Nighthawk's face and smiled, patted Nighthawk's shoulder and said, "Comrade Nighthawk, I know what you're thinking!" Yes, yes, protecting the interests of the people is higher than a qiē! But before that, we have to think about the feelings of the countless parents of the children and soldiers behind us! We've added more than 10,000 grieving families, and I don't want to have any more! ”
Commander Fang sighed with emotion, and then said, "Moreover, this is also a nationally recognized thing!" The top brass has decided that even if we blow up the entire western Xinjiang, we will destroy these invading terrorists! The country will build a better home for the people here! ”
Nighthawk nodded emphatically! Looking at the city that was still burning in the distance, he seemed to see a huge phoenix reborn from the fire! That would be a hopeful restart!
Another ten days passed! Every day at ten o'clock in the morning, the thunderous shelling will begin! And the artillery fire did not drag on any longer, every day was two hours! Neither more nor less, as if the people of the artillery unit liked this art very much, and they calculated it accurately!
Dihua City has become a ruin, and tens of thousands of shells of different calibers and different standards blast into the city from all directions every day! There is not a single intact building left in the city!
The whole city was reduced to rubble, and the soldiers didn't even have a place to hide! Because the artillery fire of the Chinese people seems to have eyes, which can blow up those who have just dug trenches in the ruins to pieces!
But no matter how hard it is to hide, you have to hide, the endless shelling of the Huaxia people has made the soldiers guarding here numb, and they are mechanically looking for all kinds of places to hide! Just to be able to live a little longer when the artillery bombardment comes!
In the dark of night, there were also many hungry soldiers with green eyes and bones with their feet floating and running out of the city like walking corpses! They want to use the cover of night to find an exit from the iron bucket-like encirclement of the Huaxia!
But this kind of naïve idea can only be a joke under the strict defense of the Chinese soldiers! Even the special forces are unable to follow the defense line of the guò, how can it be that these hungry deserters who are about to fall headlong can pass through guò!
The most enjoyable thing for these deserters is to make the best bets of the soldiers on duty on the defensive line! The deserters became targets for movement, and without exception, they all died on the way to escape!
But even if the reality is so cruel, there is only a dead end to escape from the city, and there will still be countless soldiers rushing out of the city one after another! They've had enough of that hell on earth in Dihua City! They don't want to be torn apart by artillery fire like their companions, and in the end they can't even find the corpses!
The number of deserters is increasing, and the surrounding Chinese soldiers have also received orders! If the other party does not have any threat after disarming, the other party's request to surrender can be accepted!
As a result, in just three days, the Huaxia army captured nearly 5,000 people who were not much different from skeletons! After they met the Chinese soldiers, they saw their own relatives, and the only request was to give them something to eat, and then they wanted to kill or listen to them!
Bagel stood alone in a man-high trench! His office, along with the original government building, is in ruins! All the qiē was buried in the rubble!
He was in the faint moonlight, quietly watching the trenches where people jumped out from time to time! Those ghostly figures run towards freedom and liberation! What he longed for!
"Report to the Commander, 10 more guys have been caught trying to escape!" A tall man, but now as thin as a pole, the major came over with a group of soldiers and a few panicked deserters!
As soon as they arrived in front of Bajer, the soldiers in charge of escorting them all rushed towards the joints of the deserters! The sound of the butt and the bone colliding echoes very clearly in the night sky, making it scary to listen to!
Bagel didn't even look back, his eyes were still attracted by the figures that kept jumping out of the trenches! What persistent people they are! Those are the last struggles of life against injustice!
"Why are you running away!" Bagel still didn't look back, his calm voice seemed to be talking to himself! The deserters were still a little dumbfounded, but the guards behind them who were in charge of escorting them had already smashed the butts of their guns with a hard blow!
The sound of bones being smashed came again, and people suddenly felt a little sore! One of the deserters, who was estimated to be the leader, hurriedly leaned down and said as if begging for mercy: "Sir, sir, sir!" We all heard from the people who fled that there was something to eat and a way to survive when we got to the Huaxia people, so the brothers thought about escaping! We don't want to die! ”
The deserters kneeling beside him immediately let out a whimper together! The tall major was furious, and he put his pistol on the head of the deserter leader, and said viciously: "I can kill you now, see what you take and run away?" ”
The deserter was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and he just screamed for mercy like a pig! Listening to the pitiful wails of the deserters, Bagel waved his hand to stop the major's actions! The major threw the deserter to the ground in hatred and turned his head to the side!
"Yes! There was food to eat over there, and there was no gunfire on the Huaxia people's position, indicating that the people who fled had saved their lives! Even if it doesn't work, it won't be a problem to eat in prison in the next life, at least it's better than dying here like a wild dog! Bagel whispered, watching more and more deserters running out of the ruins, and he felt extremely uncomfortable!
The guns rang out, but it was not on the position of the Chinese! On the contrary, it sounded from the position on their own side! There are already commanders with their men to shoot the fleeing soldiers! But no matter how fierce the gunfire is, there will still be people who will join the deserters regardless of a single thing! No matter how angry the chase behind them was, the deserters who had only one breath left in a pool of blood were still reaching forward!
Bagel doesn't want to look at any of this anymore! He lazily waved his hand at the kneeling deserter and said, "Go! Let's go! Go wherever you want! This war, which is none of your business, is over! ”
The leader of the deserters was stunned on the spot, he looked at Bajer's back in disbelief, thinking that he had heard it wrong! The major, who had stepped aside, also approached and asked incredulously, "Your Excellency, what did you say?" ”
"Isn't my words clear enough? Or are you already hungry and deaf? Bagel turned his head in anger, both of his eyes sunken deep in hunger!
Bagel repeated to the deserters on the ground: "Let's go!" No one will stop you! Go wherever you want, this damned war is over, go find your freedom! ”
The deserters got up from the ground tremblingly, knelt down together and kept kowtowing to Bajer, and it took a long time for them to climb out of the trench together, and slowly walked towards the position of the Chinese!
Looking at the backs of the deserters, Bagel said excitedly: "Order all the troops, if you want to leave, you are not allowed to stop them!" The soldiers have the right to ask to live! ”
The major stomped his foot hard, turned and left! There were not many people in the trenches anymore, only Bajer's personal guards and a few cronies! Sands and Sorge are also here!
Bajer looked at the sky that was about to light up, and said lightly: "Let out the signal, let's get out of here!" This is not our place anymore! ”
Sorge had been waiting for Bagel's words for a long time, and the soldiers formed a big circle on the ground with red flares! Soon, under the dark curtain, the sound of the roar of the helicopter began to come slowly!
Ten minutes later, four helicopter gunships loaded with weapons stopped next to the Bagel trench! Bajir took one last look at Dihua City, which was shrouded by the monster of the night, and stepped into the helicopter with a deep sigh! It was the most glorious battle of his life, and the most unsuccessful battle he had! As the helicopter flew away from Dihua City, he silently swore that he would definitely return here!
It's getting brighter! There are less than 10,000 people left, and almost all the defenders of Dihua City have surrendered! There are also religious fanatics who, just before the imminent defeat, choose to be loyal to their faith and shoot themselves! Sprinkle their sinful blood on this once hot land!
Without spending a single soldier, the Huaxia army rolled into the ruined Dihua City! Nighthawk and Commander Fang stood in a high rubble at the same time, like emperors, watching the dejected captives as they walked towards the trucks under the escort of the army! They will be sent to a secret prison and may never see freedom outside the walls again for the rest of their lives!
"The battle here is over, and now it's time for some finishing touches! Are you going with me? Commander Fang asked Nighthawk expectantly!
Nighthawk smiled and shook his head at Commander Fang, his eyes already looking to the far north: "My brother, you are still fighting there!" ”
