01513 Seven days (DAY6)(2/2)
But how can such a broken candle face the ravages of the cold wind?
Zhang Haizhi smiled bitterly: "Old man, maybe you are right, but now I really can't see even a little bit of hope... There were originally two million people in the shelter, which is equivalent to the size of a medium-sized city... But now
, at least 1.8 million of the two million people are infected! 1.8 million! That is an unimaginably large number! What do you think... what should we do?"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Gongyi did not comfort Zhang Haizhi after hearing this. Instead, he sneered and said mockingly: "Look at your bearishness! Young man, you are still too shallow."
Zhang Haizhi laughed at himself when he heard this, but he did not refute.
When he was young and frivolous, Zhang Haizhi was full of confidence, but who would have thought that after the "sun disappeared", a disaster would make him breathless.
The old man said quietly: "I think back then, my team only had 300 heads, but the enemies we had to face were 30,000! We were very scared at the time, and we couldn't figure out why we knew that there were 300 people in our team.
If we rush out, we will die, and the superiors asked us to stay here, so we asked our company commander if it was because we all made mistakes, so we were treated as victims... What do you think my company commander said?"
Zhang Haizhi was actually not very interested in these stories about the elderly. He was tired of hearing the truth, but he had nothing to do now, so he echoed and asked, "How do you say it?"
Zhou Gongyi let out a laugh: "Mom, what are you thinking! The organization keeps us here because this is our home. We Chinese believe that fallen leaves return to their roots, so even if we die, we have gone home!"
Zhang Haizhi was stunned when he heard this: "What kind of answer is this? Aren't you afraid of causing a mutiny?"
Zhou Gongyi smiled: "Of course, we were not happy at the time! We were on good terms, but before the fight even started, were we doomed to die for the three hundred of us?"
Zhang Haizhi frowned and wanted to continue listening.
"Then the company commander said... You don't have to win every battle before you fight it! Sometimes even if you know you will definitely die, you still have to charge forward! Because this is the bloody nature of our soldiers! We can't retreat! We can only fight! Listen to me
, the blood of a warrior..."
Zhang Haizhi still doesn't understand. It's not that he can't understand the literal meaning, but he can't understand this kind of mentality of facing death calmly.
Zhou Gongyi sighed deeply, and continued: "Then let's fight. Three hundred people versus thirty thousand people. Even if they defend the natural chasm, it's still like a mantis' arm is like a chariot... When the bullets are gone, fight hand-to-hand. When the person is almost dead, tie him up."
Explosives jumped into the crowd, in short... after a battle, they were all gone... not a single one was left..."
Zhang Haizhi had no idea which battle Zhou Gongyi was talking about, but he could tell that Zhou Gongyi was not just making it up. He could see this from Zhou Gongyi's eyes.
"What happened next...did you stop the enemy?"
Zhou Gongyi shook his head: "How is that possible... Three hundred versus thirty thousand, do you really think it is an arithmetic problem, and you can win by killing a hundred?"
Zhang Haizhi was stunned: "Then..."
"Do you think this kind of sacrifice is meaningless?"
Zhang Haizhi didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he did have this idea.
"Yes, if we talk about the meaning of life and death, there are thousands of explanations, but there is always no truth that satisfies everyone... Even if you brag to the next generation about the glory of this team, it will still be
There will be people who don’t understand why 300 people have to be sacrificed to defend the pass. Why?”
Zhang Haizhi shook his head, he didn't understand.
"Because in the eyes of many people, this is just an arithmetic problem. In the most fashionable words of you young people, it is an algorithm. Therefore, they think it is meaningless to leave three hundred people behind to die. They may even think that these people's death is meaningless.
It is worthless and is purely a tactical mistake."
Zhang Haizhi heard this and asked: "Isn't it?"
Zhou Gongyi smiled: "Yes, after a battle, three hundred people died without even holding on for half a day. It is indeed worthless... But do you know where we were guarding at that time?"
Zhang Haizhi frowned and asked, "Please tell me."
"Haha... That place is actually nothing. It's just a barren land with no flowers or grass, and it's frozen solid. But that's the place for us Chinese... It's a place that even New America and the United States can't grab.
Where to go! So even if we are outnumbered, even if we are passively beaten at the time, before we withdraw our fists and fight out, we must dye that inch of land red with our own blood! Tell the intruders that this is ours and no one can take it away.
!" At the end of the sentence, Zhou Gongyi clenched his fists, as if he was back on the battlefield.
Zhang Haizhi finally remembered.
I remember that blitzkrieg that was planned by the New American League and was later severely beaten.
At that time, the intention was to encroach on the territory of Northeast China, to enter the Greater Khingan Mountains, and to...
Very few people knew about this war, mainly because the things involved were too dangerous, so under the coordination of the First Central Axis, the New American League finally paid compensation, and the matter was settled.
Zhang Haizhi didn't know it at first, but after entering the first central axis, he often heard some old people mention it. At that time, the invaders from the New United States who invaded Northeast China and tried to enter the Greater Khingan Mountains used the blitz strategy. Unexpectedly,
Seventeen hours after the battle began, a certain unit of China's Northeastern Army, which had shrunk its formation to preserve its strength, immediately launched a powerful counterattack. None of the 30,000 invaders were able to get out of the border.
