"According to the usual procedure, we first called through a loudspeaker, then swept the streets with tear gas, and the other party seemed to be prepared, wrapped in wet towels in their faces, and threw bricks at us, and we had to return fire with rubber bullets. In the chaos, someone shot at us, others fired rockets, threw zha medicine packets, a riot armored car collapsed, the captain was annoyed and ordered to return fire with live ammunition, I received an order to shoot whoever had something in his hand, I pulled the trigger seven times that day, and confirmed that six were killed. ”

"It's a last resort......

"Later, I walked over and pulled off the wet towels on the faces of several people, all of whom were young people in their teens and twenties, and later I learned that many of the people who were killed were still middle school students......

Liu Bailiang put down the steamed bun.

"That's your job."

"I know it."

"You pity them?"

Wang Zhi lowered his head, and the index finger and thumb of his left hand tightly kneaded the index finger of his right hand, the finger that pulled the trigger.

“…… I just kept asking myself, why are they doing this? Why do you want to fight with us so fiercely? What is it that makes them so disdainful of their lives and futures? For what... What is ...... for what is ?"

Liu Bailiang reached out and pressed Wang Zhi's slightly trembling right index finger and brought it back into the shelter of his palm.

"Then it occurred to me that they may be completely desperate, and desperate people don't cherish anything."

Wang Zhi said, his right hand clenched into a tight fist.

"In our time and space, in terms of informational significance, there are no protests and riots against the government in our country, and certainly no such thing as repression...... The state's control over information has penetrated into every corner, domestic radio stations and newspapers must be guided by the Central Propaganda Department, foreign radio stations will be subject to screening interference, and telephone communications will be screened and eavesdropped by computer systems......

"I think there must be a reason why people lose their minds. Perhaps the people there have been oppressed and harmed by the Tao that we do not know, but there are no more people who know or believe it except themselves and their parents, or even if anyone knows and believes it, there is nothing they can do, because the relevant information cannot be disseminated by legal means...... The accusation to Lu's superiors may also be useless because of the protection of officials and officials, and he was forced to use his radical actions to attract the attention of the outside world. ”

Liu Bailiang analyzed, glanced at Wang Zhi, and the other party's face did not show a sense of approval.

Wang Zhi shook his head: "If they still believe that someone will help them, they should find someone to negotiate, why do they want to shoot us?" I think it's probably an outpouring of despair - you can't change the status quo anyway, so let's destroy it together......"

"The world of despair...... I think we can probably understand the thoughts of those middle school students: they are desperately admitted to university, but they can't afford the higher and higher tuition fees, and even if they borrow money to pay their tuition, there is a 70% chance that they will join the unemployed army after graduation, and go home with heavy debts to eat their parents, what is the meaning of such a future......

Near, far away, the dense sound of cannons shook the dry eardrums of human beings.

"It is indeed a world ...... that makes countless people desperate."

"Are you desperate too? You should be better off than many people, and so am I, because we've always been taught to be on the side of those in power, and from an economic point of view, we have to be on the side of those in power. ”

Wang Zhi pointed at Liu Bailiang with chopsticks: "But you betrayed them." ”

"I'm only true to myself."

"I remember that Zhong Xiahuo pulled you in, Zhong Xiahuo thought so too?"

"He is only loyal to Liu Yun."

Wang Zhi put down his chopsticks, poured some two pots into the white porcelain wine glass, and swallowed it with a bitter face.

"Liu Bailiang, do you know who pulled me in?"

"I don't know what to do."

"It's Liu Yun, I missed the K129 operation in 24 years, and I actually lost the target in a favorable situation, he asked me to talk, and he saw through me at a glance, he said that I was passive and slacking off, and there was no fundamental difference from rebellion. Indeed, at that time I had already begun to doubt and think, and the more I thought about it, the more meaningless I felt, that the riots still did not exist, that the repression did not exist, that we and the young people were doing things that did not exist, that we were getting hurt and dying because of things that did not exist...... We had no choice, it was a huge trap that surrounded us, and if we stepped in either direction, we could only fall......"

Liu Bailiang took the palm-sized glass wine bottle containing the second pot head from Wang Zhi's hand, lit two or three drops into the wine glass, and swallowed it.

"Ding Jieyun, they just want to establish the kind of world realm that makes countless people despair, and exchange the despair of countless people for the infinite hope of a few people, including them."

"Do you think Liu Yun wants to do the same?"

"I hope not, but I feel more and more that he might want to build a machine to smash the machines of the existing world......"

Wang Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Forgive me for being stupid, I can't see it, but I don't think I'm a part of a machine, if we came here just to create a country that is not fundamentally different from the original time and space, then what's the point of everything we did before?" ”

"Now that I know what to say, let's stop here."

After Liu Bailiang finished speaking, he took a big bite on the steamed buns.

Wang Zhi shrugged and smiled: "Liu Bailiang, do you want me to get to know you again?" ”

"Hmm...... It's ...... I want to get to know you again."

"It's useless, I'm the same as Zhong Xiahuo, I'm only loyal to Lord Liu, Duke of Wuwei."

"Hmm...... , Zhong Xiahuo is loyal to his Captain Liu. ”

"You're such a fool."

"Eun...... each other. ”

"So what are you here for?"

"Well...... Because it's boring there. ”

"."

"Really, if you don't believe it, go ask Zhong Xiahuo."

"Cut, believe you're a fool......"

……

At one o'clock in the afternoon, coalition artillery fire extended deep into the Russian positions, and the offensive began.

"Countless ants."

Liu Bailiang said that the telescope was full of human heads on the hillside.

"I think it will work out this time."

Wang Zhi said that the telescope was full of billowing black smoke rising from the mountain.

Behind them was a map of the war zone, with a ball of woolen contour lines forming a series of hills, and red and blue jagged line markers were irregularly inlaid in between, and the ball of wool in the center of the blue line of defense was marked with four small black characters near the top.

To the north of the main peak of the summit is the symbol of a fort with a "D" next to it, and to the east of the summit is a fortress "E" and a fortress "F" along the girder to the foot of the mountain, and a fortress "C" is located a little lower to the west of the summit. From west to east, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 batteries were set up on the mountain beams.

Four forts and three batteries covered each other, together with a large number of trenches, sheltered fortifications, bunkers, small multi-faceted forts, one-way spectacle forts, and electrified barbed wire, minefields, deep trenches, and artificial cliffs, constituted the defensive area of Mount Kimir, and the defenders of the entire defensive area were estimated to be between 10,000 and 15,000 men.

Among the four fortresses, the most important is the D fortress near the main peak of Mount Kimir, which was built by the Russian army in 1898 and completed after four years, with a pentagonal shape, a circumference of nearly 1,000 meters, and an area of about 50,000 square meters, making it the largest fortress in the fortress area. On it there is an armored watchtower not found in other fortresses, the tower is 2.4 meters high, 0.8 meters in diameter, the top is semicircular, the whole tower is made of steel plates 19 to 35 mm thick, resistant to large-caliber artillery shrapnel, specially used to observe the attack of the Allied forces on the fortress, and to teach the impact point for the 254 mm heavy guns and 152 mm cannons on the No. 4 battery behind it. The Russian army attached great importance to the defense of the fortress, and the fort was surrounded by strong auxiliary fortifications, crisscrossed by secret passages in the fort, and a team of more than 2,000 people was usually deployed, equipped with 4 152mm cannons, 3 100mm guns, 5 47mm guns, 14 37mm guns and 7 machine guns.

In the second general offensive launched by the coalition forces last month, the 37th Brigade of the 13th Division of the Chinese Army directly attacked the fortress, suffered more than 4,000 casualties in two days, changed three brigade commanders, and none of them were captured, and then the 33rd Brigade of the 11th Division attacked in two ways, and finally occupied a section of the ravine only 300 meters away from the chest wall of the fortress at the cost of nearly 3,000 casualties. The progress of the operation was very slow, and by the day of the attack, the minefield had not yet extended under the enemy fortress.

On that day, the 31st Brigade of the 11th Infantry Division, which commanded the 91st, 92nd and 93rd Infantry Regiments, was responsible for attacking the fort, reinforced with a regimental engineer battalion and a heavy mortar battalion equipped with 18 100-mm mortars.

Brigadier General Fang Shensi, the brigade commander, made a military order in front of General Liu Bailiang before he set off: In this battle, he will either win the fortress or destroy the whole brigade in front of the battle, and there is no other possibility.

At present, Fang Shensi has led the officers and men of the 31st Brigade, braving the blazing artillery fire of the Russian army, along the undulating communication trenches to the parallel trenches and shelters behind the trenches that are only two or three hundred meters away from the chest wall of the enemy fortress.

The horn of the charge sounded.

Dozens of battle flags of the Red Land Golden Dragon were raised almost simultaneously on a battle front of more than 1,000 meters......
