The Green Mountain Stronghold was the base camp that Zhao Fan had painstakingly built over the years. The defense wasn't impregnable, but it was also exceptionally sturdy. If they wanted to break through, they would need at least three or even four times the number of troops to have the capital to fight. It was a path up and down the mountain! There was only a road that could accommodate three trucks side by side to go up the mountain, and there was no cover to speak of.
At the door, there was a wall that was more than 20 meters long. It was filled with machine gun firing holes. In the middle of the wall were two large iron gates. When he walked up to them, Li Wei realized that the iron gates were ten centimeters thick! Moreover, the walls seemed to be made of reinforced concrete and were extremely sturdy.
On the way, Zhao Fan introduced," This Green Mountain Stronghold was built by a wealthy businessman in Shanxi during the early years of the Republic of China to avoid disaster. It was built according to the standards of a military base. Later on, that rich merchant died outside, and this place was occupied by a group of bandits. In 1938, I lured the bandits out of the Green Mountain Stronghold and exterminated them all, so I occupied this stronghold myself!”
"1927? It seemed like Regiment Commander Zhao had already made preparations for an uprising at that time.”Xue Lin's beautiful eyes kept looking at the machine gun positions and other important places.
"Haha." Zhao Fan laughed.”
After entering the gate, the inside was suddenly open. Behind the gate was a platform about 1,000 square meters. At the end of the platform was a bridge that was four to five meters wide and connected to a cement building opposite. Upon closer inspection, Li Wei couldn't help but click his tongue. The cement building was actually built on a lone mountain! Only the bridge in front of him was connected to it.
"That was really dangerous." Li Wei sighed.
"If we were to attack from the front, there wouldn't be enough people outside the gate for a battalion, so we can only fill in one company at a time! "You can say that my Green Mountain Stronghold…" Zhao Fan waved a finger in the depths of his head."No one can break through!"
The soldiers on the trucks jumped down and called for the remaining soldiers of the 3rd Battalion to unload the weapons and equipment from the trucks. A company commander of the 3rd Battalion excitedly ran over to take a look and pulled a company commander of the 1st Battalion to ask,""How come only the 1st Battalion returned? The people from the Second Battalion? Where's Baozi? Hmm? Say something! Where's Baozi?"
The smiling face of the 1st Battalion Company Commander suddenly darkened.
The commander of the 3rd Battalion seemed to have understood something. The light in his eyes faded, and his hands fell weakly. Suddenly, he saw Zhao Fan. His eyes lit up with hope. He ran over like the wind and grabbed Zhao Fan's sleeve.
"Regiment Commander, why hasn't the 2nd Battalion returned?" he asked anxiously. Where did the 2nd Battalion go? Little Treasure? Did you send the 2nd Battalion on another mission?”
Zhao Fan opened his mouth, only to find that his mouth was filled with bitterness.
The person in front of him had the surname Yu. He had a very common name. His name was Yu Dabao. And the Baozi that he had always talked about was his younger brother. Baozi also had a very vulgar name called Yu Xiaobao.
The two brothers were in the army together. Because Yu Dabao was smart, he was now the company commander of the 3rd Battalion. Yu Xiaobao was also the platoon leader of the 2nd Battalion.
When the 2nd Battalion was attacked, Yu Xiaobao's abdomen was shot through by a machine gun. The 1st Battalion found his body in the wreckage of a truck. Because the truck did not explode and catch fire, the body was well preserved. Zhao Fan remembered that his face was twisted from the pain. He did not die from excessive blood loss. There was a bullet wound on his right temple…
He committed suicide because of extreme pain…
What should Zhao Fan say? Should he tell the truth? "Your brother passed away unpeacefully. He couldn't bear the pain and committed suicide?”"Your brother didn't suffer anything and passed away peacefully?"”Or perhaps she could pat him on the shoulder and say some words of sympathy?
Sorry, Zhao Fan couldn't say anything right now.
Was it his fault that the 2nd Battalion was attacked by air? No, it wasn't.
No one knew that one of the reconnaissance planes had spotted the 2nd Battalion, and no one knew that the two Type 0s would give up on the 1st Battalion and attack the 2nd Battalion instead.
This battle was not a crime!
Yu Dabao's deputy hurriedly ran over and hugged him. He whispered in his ear,"That's enough, Company Commander, didn't you see that only half of the 1st Battalion's men have returned?”
Yu Dabao was stunned for a moment. Then, as if he had lost his soul, he walked towards the military camp next to the cement building across the bridge.
"One general's achievements are worth ten thousand bones." Zhao Fan sighed.
Everyone fell silent. This was the first time Li Wei had seen such a scene. The remnants of the 3rd Battalion and 1st Battalion, who were unloading their equipment from the trucks, started to cry.
Wei Li had not lost a single subordinate since he transmigrated. All the battles were won without any problems. Wei Li always had the last laugh. He even played some tricks and used his uneven experience and intelligence to scheme against Xue Lin, the senior agent of the military commander. But what could this prove? Li Wei had never been a strong-willed person. If it weren't for God's mission, Li Wei would have found a safe place to hide until the end of the war.
Now, Li Wei's originally unstable will was shaken. Li Wei, who was soft-hearted towards his friends and could not bear to see his friends sad, asked himself. He was caught in a dilemma…
Should he walk the path of hegemony that was filled with blood, war, and the corpses of his enemies and friends, or should he just be an ordinary person and watch the train of history roar past him?
Unknowingly, the sky was already dark.
Li Wei turned around and saw Dai Tao, Wei Xiang, and the rest of the soldiers standing loyally behind him. Beside them was Song Xi, who was shivering from the cold.
Li Wei smiled and looked at the sky. Unlike the lights on the ground, there were only three dim stars hanging in the sky, emitting a weak light in the endless night sky.
……
Decades later.
His Majesty Li Wei, the former emperor of the Empire, who had just announced the change of the Empire from a monarchical system to a democratic system, recalled what happened today when he was interviewed by a beautiful reporter of the Empire Daily.
"If it weren't for Yu Dabao and the three stars," the emperor said with a smile,"perhaps I would be a businessman and a teacher today." However, it was definitely not the emperor! They changed me, and I changed China and the world.”
After the empire was established, the Green Mountain Stronghold became a famous scenic spot in Shanxi. Every day, countless people would stand here and look up at the starry sky, hoping to find their own three stars.
……
"That…Third Battalion Commander, find some clean rooms for these friends and have them cleaned up.”Zhao Fan rubbed his red eyes.
"Yes."
"Commander Zhao, do you have a radio station? I want to contact Chongqing." Xue Lin didn't seem to be affected by the sad atmosphere. She still acted like an iron lady. However, Lin Yue, who was behind her, was already in tears.
Zhao Fan nodded." Yes, but Miss Lin, you should rest for the night. We'll talk about it tomorrow."”
"Mm, that's good too." Xue Lin nodded.
"Oh right, Brother Li, why didn't your tank come up?”
"Hmm?" Li Wei looked back and saw that there were only three tankers in jackets. There was no sign of the T-64. It seemed that the system had taken it back. Li Wei rolled his eyes and thought of an excuse."Oh, you mean that tank? That's not mine. I rented it. Now that I've used it up, I'll naturally return it.”
"Rented? Who are you renting it from?" Zhao Fan couldn't believe it.
Xue Lin also perked up her ears.
" This... um..." Li Wei hesitated for a moment and said,""He told me to keep it a secret, so I can't say!”
