Chapter 661: 661 Revenge War
Chapter 661 Chapter 661 Revenge
In Beiyuan City, on a street full of rubble, a No. 4 tank was advancing, followed by Tang Army soldiers carrying weapons and advancing cautiously.
After resisting for two days, the Mirage troops are now almost in a state of complete collapse. They have lost organized resistance and are fighting independently but still insist on fighting.
Because they understand better than anyone else that their hands are stained with blood and no one will let them go. They are already...dead.
The Tang army was not willing to bear the notoriety of killing prisoners, so they basically did not accept the mirage army's request to surrender. After several attempts, the Mirage people basically gave up on the thought of surrender.
Even if they only have one stick left, they can only bite the bullet and fight to the end with the tanks of the Tang Army. This is their fate and their final outcome.
"Ah!" A mirage soldier without bullets shouted and stood up from the ruins with his weapon in hand. He rushed towards the soldiers of the Tang Army, wanting to use his bayonet to fight his opponent.
He was greeted by the sound of a gunshot and a flying bullet. The mirage soldier fell down, and his body hit the gravel with a muffled sound.
The Tang Army's team continued to advance. They searched every building, cleaned up the ruins, dragged out the mirage people who had been hiding in them and had not eaten for two days, and then beat them to death on the street.
As the battle continues, many Tang soldiers have become somewhat accustomed to what they are doing, because they have seen too many things that they have not seen before, and they also understand why their commanders do not regard goblins as human beings.
Because they often push open the door of a building and find it filled with dead and wounded goblins. Most of these corpses were suicides, and some were killed by the Mirage people themselves.
Later, the Tang army also found wounded soldiers from the Mirage Kingdom who had starved to death. A room was filled with corpses of goblins that had no time to deal with. They only put a seal on the door and that was it.
You can see mirage soldiers committing suicide everywhere, and there are discarded weapons everywhere. The heavy artillery that had been drained of shells just fell over in the streets and alleys, which looked like an apocalyptic scene.
The goblins are so cruel to their own people and have no humanity at all, so the Tang army soldiers are very disgusted.
But if that were the case, the soldiers of the Tang Army would not regard these goblins as species other than humans. It wasn't until they saw more corpses, more corpses of Qi people, that they truly realized how cruel these goblins were.
The Tang army found a lot of charred corpses from the buildings that had been set on fire. The Mirage soldiers often used this more convenient method when dealing with the civilians of the Qi State.
They will find a house in advance that will not cause fires in surrounding houses, then drive the civilians inside, and then set the house on fire to kill everyone inside.
These goblins would also pile up the corpses of Qi people killed everywhere in a room, then seal the door of the room and leave.
When the soldiers of the Tang Army inspected this type of house, they opened the door and saw a debilitating smell accompanied by countless flies rushing out of the door, which almost scared the young Tang Army soldiers to death.
With tens of thousands of flies swarming all over the place, no one would want to try it a second time, right? And the scenes inside these houses are enough to cause mental trauma just by looking at them.
The soldiers who saw the scene in the house had nightmares for two days in a row. In order to prevent them from attacking friendly forces, the troops even confiscated their weapons.
When the carefully selected warriors had the courage to go in and dispose of the body, they quickly withdrew and then gave their own opinion on how to deal with it: "Burning may be the best way."
There is no need to hide or publicize it. Places like this can be found everywhere in Beiyuan City, so various stories soon began to spread among the army.
After that, almost all the soldiers began to faithfully carry out the orders given to them by their superiors: shoot whenever they see the enemy without any hesitation.
Sometimes I have to lament the tenacity of human vitality. Even in this state of Beiyuan City, a large number of Qi people still survived.
They hid in cellars, on rafters, among ruins, wherever they could.
Most people were tortured to the point of being miserable by hunger and fear, but they still survived and saw the light that belonged to them.
The Tang Army was once again deceived by the refugees. They had a glorious tradition in this regard and used everything they could.
Raincoats, cans, rations, clothing, shoes, and socks...these materials were once again lost in large quantities. There were more than 10,000 troops entering the city, and almost 20,000 sets were lost.
In order to take care of these survivors who were barely clothed and fed, the Tang army opened some evacuation channels, which allowed these people to temporarily leave the city and live temporarily in surrounding camps. The workload of settling these survivors is even greater than the workload of attacking Beiyuan City itself.
There was no way. No one thought beforehand that the Mirage people would massacre civilians here, turning a siege into a desperate battle of revenge.
"We are counting the number of people, but at most there are only 20,000 or 30,000 people... Preliminary estimates indicate that at least 200,000 people died in the massacre." At the door of a relatively clean building in the city, an officer of the Tang Army was reporting to his superior own work.
“Provide them with food and clothing as much as possible. Now they are all our compatriots.” The colonel looked at the children standing on the roadside and said unbearably.
These children are so thin that it makes people feel distressed. On their feet are the big-toed shoes of Mirage soldiers with dried blood stains. Around their waists are the underwear of Tang Army soldiers. Their upper bodies are naked, and they are holding torn packages in their hands. candy.
They looked curiously at the tanks and cars parked on the roadside in the distance, and at the same time looked at the soldiers who were carrying equipment and supplies into the room.
Thick smoke was billowing everywhere in Beiyuan City, and gunshots and explosions could be heard in the distance. But obviously, they are safe here, because this is already considered the territory of Tang State.
The colonel, who had already begun to take over the entire city, once again warned his surrounding men: "Soldiers are not allowed to search for water sources on their own in the city! Send epidemic prevention experts to check all wells. This is hell, and nothing is safe."
"Yes! Sir!" A captain next to him saluted with a military salute and recorded his commander's order.
"Remember to write down the reason for the report that the No. 4 assault gun is not as effective as the No. 4 tank in street fighting!" The colonel looked to the other side and explained the task to another subordinate: "There is also a report about landmines. We had another report yesterday. Three soldiers have been lost. Let the platoon leader and squad leader below be smart and stop opening the door casually!"
"Understood! All troops entering the city have strengthened their safety awareness education, but some people will forget it during the fight." His subordinates were helpless and explained.
The mirage army made the few remaining grenades, explosives and landmines into booby traps and randomly deployed them behind some doors.
Even they themselves may not remember where they buried a powerful explosive package, so the Tang army who entered the city and fought in the streets suffered a lot of losses.
At least 100 soldiers were killed and injured by this kind of thing, which has become a big reason for the losses of Tang army soldiers.
"The bodies must be counted as much as possible, and every deceased must be found as much as possible! If we don't do this job, no one will be able to figure it out in the future." The leading colonel patted the other party's shoulder and talked to him just now The men who reported to him talked about the massacre: "Investigate every living survivor and ask them for their names, the names of their neighbors, the names of their friends, the names of their teachers, even the names of their enemies!"
"Yes! Sir! This is exactly what we are doing." The officer nodded slightly and replied.
"In order to cover up their crimes, those **** **** burned all the population information and household registration information in the city lord's palace! Damn it... they are just a bunch of lunatics, a bunch of bastards!" The colonel cursed: "I should hang that guy with my own hands. What’s the name Mirage Takesaburo!”
When he mentioned this, he immediately asked: "By the way, speaking of him, hasn't this guy been found yet?"
"We tortured the prisoners who stayed behind on purpose. Before they were alive, they confessed that Mirage Musaburo was in the port area. We had just captured it and the work of clearing the prisoners had not yet been completed." said the officer under his command.
After speaking, he added: "Please understand, sir, it will take time to kill tens of thousands of goblins hiding in the ruins. They are like mice. It is difficult to find them if they hide in the east."
"Okay! I understand, hurry up!" The colonel nodded, tried his best to smile at the little boys across the road, turned around and walked into his new headquarters.
It is not easy to find a relatively clean house in this city, because it is really almost in ruins.
In another place in the city, some Mirage prisoners who were kneeling on the ground and holding their heads in their hands looked desperately at the Qi people across the road who were watching the excitement.
Not so long ago their situation was exactly the opposite. Their expressions were numb now, and they completely lost the ferocious look that had driven and massacred the Qi people in the first place.
Now, they heard the rustling sound of the Tang Army soldiers behind them raising their weapons, and then their heads were shattered in a series of gunshots.
The officer who ordered the execution looked at the remaining goblin prisoners who were dull and shouted, ordering them to carry the corpses on the ground onto a carriage piled with goblin corpses.
Then the remaining goblins will be guarded and lead the carriage, filling the huge craters with their own bodies and those on the carriage.
