Chapter 52 2. The mockery of beasts

The huge vibration made the wooden table on our side shake, and the gunshots of the 87 faction suddenly became denser, even surpassing any previous one, especially in the several sniper positions on my side, where the bullets were so densely packed. It prevents you from raising your head to aim and shoot. The sound of the tank's rumbling tracks and the sound of the guns approached the gap that was blasted on the right, and our attack was also concentrated on this gap, and a huge iron bump rushed in through the gap screaming.The tanks were firing flames more than half a meter long in the air, and they were shooting continuously, making it impossible for people on our side to get close.

The vice-captain Liu Qiang was roaring and resisting, and the layers of defensive sandbags we built up at the front door were blown up, and Liu Qiang was also staggered by the air wave and fell to the ground.Another tank rushed straight to the front door. Liu Qiang struggled to stand up, his face was covered with blood, but he still howled: "Retreat! Retreat!" Zhao Demin and I jumped off the stage, and everyone retreated into the factory in a panic. For a behemoth like a tank, our millet rifles can only tickle it. Did the army participate in the 87 faction?Although the fighting in the South China Sea lasted for a long time, at the beginning it was just a fight with a stick and a shovel. I don’t know where the first shot was fired, killing a member of the 87 faction, and then everyone started to use guns.

Since the South China Sea is very close to Kinmen, there are many militia organizations, and there are militia armed with guns in many coastal villages. Therefore, after using guns, the situation is out of control.I don't know how so many guns got into our hands and theirs.As for us Red Guards, we have all received military training and know how to shoot and kill people, and we are all young. Many of us have known each other since we were young, and we are all from the north of the city. The 87 faction are basically people from the south of the city, and before the fighting started, there was constant friction.In addition, everyone’s ideas are different now. Our Paulin faction firmly believes that Secretary Lin Pingwen is a hero of the revolution and the most steadfast revolutionary leftist, but the people of the 87 faction don’t think so. Lin Pingwen is a counter-revolutionary rightist. Is the most staunch revolutionary leftists.From the matter of Secretary Lin Pingwen, the two sides have developed from a sharp "big debate" to a confrontation with swords and swords, and developed into a street fight.Finally, it was upgraded to a contest with real guns and live ammunition between the two sides.

At this time, fighting is going on all over the country, maybe our fighting is just a child's play. I didn't have any hesitation in killing my compatriots. I think our side is the real revolution, and the 87 faction are all pests, and death is not a pity.What's more, in the increasingly fierce fighting, the 87 faction continued to kill our Baolin faction members, which aroused our anger even more. Seeing each other is like seeing a class enemy. I believe that what I do is right, I have a great idea of ​​socialism, in order to realize our ideals, I am willing to fight against all opposition forces, even if it means sacrificing my life.

Believe even though I believe, but sometimes when I lie in bed and think about these things, I still have some doubts. What happened to me? How did I become so cruel? , I didn’t even dare to watch when the pig was slaughtered, how could I end the life of a compatriot so resolutely?I can't sleep, and I have doubts about whether I am still a normal person, but I will quickly laugh at myself for not being firm in my revolutionary will. It may be that my father's identity as a capitalist makes my blood not red enough, so I always have these It is the fantasy of capitalism that makes me doubt all this.

But Zhao Demin is different, he once discussed this issue with me quietly in the middle of the night, he thought that what we did might be wrong, it seems that we have all been brainwashed, as if we are not ourselves anymore.He said that he had memorized Chinese etiquette regulations since he was very young, which should not be the case for Chinese people.However, he also couldn't tell what exactly we did wrong.Although I warned him sternly, he would go the wrong way if he thought so, and he would be abandoned by the people.But there are ups and downs in my heart, I really want to follow his words and discuss this world that I don't know what's going on, but I don't have the courage to speak out like Zhao Demin.I will not expose Zhao Demin, because he has the same bad background as me. If I betray him, then I don't know if I will betray myself one day.

I know what will happen to Zhao Demin if I expose him, because at least Zhao Demin dares to tell me because he trusts me completely.Moreover, I dare to believe that there are not a few people who have doubts like Zhao Demin and I, but everyone is holding back, holding back, no one dares to speak, and finally vents by beating, smashing and grabbing.Zhao Demin and I both went to high school, and we were educated by our parents when we were young, and we received a lot of education that was completely different from the textbooks.Therefore, I always feel that we are heretics, and the more I feel that I am a heretic, the more I want to show that we are the same in front of everyone.I was definitely the loudest in shouting slogans and the most resolute in expressing my determination, and I was definitely in the forefront in criticizing counter-revolutionaries and capitalist roaders, and I was the one who struck hardest and most mercilessly.

After my father was overthrown again in 1966, I participated in the criticism meeting against my father. In order to show my determination, I rushed to the stage to slap my father in front of thousands of people, and cursed my father for various counter-revolutionary behaviors.My father just smiled faintly, and his eyes still looked at me very warmly. This kind of eyes made me wake up in a dream, and even found a place to cry bitterly once.I feel that although I resent my father's identity, when I think of my father's eyes, I still feel anxious. When I cried bitterly, I felt that I was not a human being, but when I came back to everyone, the team leaders praised me for being very firm in my revolutionary consciousness. , but vainly thought that what he did was not wrong.It was also because I killed my father that I finally joined the marching brigade of my dream and became a glorious Red Guard.

I once asked Zhao Demin how he joined the Red Guards. Zhao Demin always smiled and told me not to ask.But I know that he must have had similar inner tortures as me, and did some things similar to mine.Likewise, I don't say a word about how I once slapped my father, and I'm terrified of looking cowardly when I talk about it. This inner struggle always comes before I go to sleep, which makes me often suffer from insomnia.In these few days of fighting, I can basically only fall asleep for 2 to 3 hours a day. The tank rushed in with a bang, and we had absolutely no power to fight back against such a steel monster.

We know where we should retreat, and the second line of defense is at the second gate of the factory.But there is no wall around the second gate, and several factory buildings are also the barrier of the second gate. It seems that street fighting is inevitable.But I know that we still have magic weapons, that is, explosives and countless incendiary bombs. When the tanks are trapped in the factory area and the space is narrow, they will definitely be able to play a role. By the time Zhao Demin and I rushed to the second gate and rejoined our combat positions, the front gate was completely captured. People from the 87 faction rushed in in twos and threes through the front door and the damaged fence, and quickly disappeared into the shadows of the factory building. The tanks of the 87 faction did not immediately drive towards the second gate, but the three-beam tanks spread out and lined up seventy or eighty meters away from the second gate.

It seems that the members of the 87 faction did not dare to act rashly. If they went deep into the factory area, it would definitely not do them any good. The two sides confronted each other briefly, but no one fired, only some sporadic gunshots came from some corners.For a while, the entire factory area was extremely quiet, and no one dared to speak out, but they were all aiming at each other. Then the members of the 87 faction started shouting with loudspeakers: "Listen, people of the Baolin faction, hand over Lin Pingwen, we are all comrades-in-arms of the revolution. If you resist to the end, you will die." Soon, the loudspeaker upstairs on our side also roared, more imposing than them: "87 faction, listen up, what you have done has betrayed Chairman Mao, surrender as soon as possible, and there is still a chance to repent and start a new life .” In this way, you have come and gone for several rounds, and this kind of threat and debate with the loudspeaker has long made your ears callous.It's just that each other wants to use this trick to hit each other's morale and buy time for their own redeployment. I used the scope to see several lesbians from the 87 faction also came in through the front door, and suddenly I thought of something, where is my sister Zhao Yahui?She has suffered severe wind and cold for the past two days, and she should still be in her dormitory now, and her dormitory is between the second gate and the front gate.And the 87 faction came in very quickly, my sister couldn't have retreated yet.It would be terrible to be caught by the 87 faction. I glanced at Zhao Demin next to me, he was aiming intently, I touched him, and said anxiously: "Demin, have you seen my sister?" Zhao Demin was startled, and said: "No, my God, Your sister isn't still in the dormitory, is she?" As soon as I put my hand on it, I was about to get up. Zhao Demin pulled me back and said, "Dangerous, Yajun! You are courting death by going like this!" I lowered my body again and said, "Then what should I do!" Zhao Demin said: "Go to the back and ask Yiqiao and the others, what if your sister also retreats?" I pondered for a while, and I really should ask Yiqiao and the others first. I stooped up, trotted a few steps, and approached Wang Degui, the captain of our advancing brigade, and said, "Captain Wang, I don't know if my sister has withdrawn. I'll ask Pang Yiqiao and the others." Wang Degui looked at me and immediately said, "Go and come back!" I responded and ran back. Yiqiao and the other female soldiers retreated in the No. 8 factory building. Many comrades who had been shot were moaning and rolling on the ground, and the whole room smelled of blood.From a distance, I saw Yiqiao helping to bandage a comrade.I ran up three steps at a time, grabbed Yiqiao, and asked, "Did you see my sister?" Yiqiao was stunned for a moment, but she immediately reacted and said, "No! Oh! Let me ask for you." Yiqiao took me around to ask people, but they didn't know about my sister. It wasn't until I asked the monitor of my sister's class that she was sure that my sister hadn't withdrawn. At that time, she was alone in the room and couldn't get up.Everyone ignored the haste of the retreat. It wasn't until I asked my sister's squad leader that he panicked. I didn't even think about it, so I ran out. After two steps, I was stopped by Yiqiao who was chasing me. Yiqiao said, "Don't go! Don't go! It's too dangerous! People from 87 will not treat lesbians. How is it?" I stomped my feet anxiously and cursed: "Then what should I do!" Yiqiao said: "It's useless for you to go there now! The 87 faction won't be able to deal with your sister." I sighed heavily: "Hey! How could this happen!" My sister's squad leader also ran over and said, "Comrade Zhao Yajun, I'm really sorry. It's all my fault. The people from the 87 faction called me so suddenly." I broke free from Yiqiao's hand and said, "Don't say that. I'm going back to my post first. Take care, too." Yiqiao glanced at me with red eyes and nodded.It made my heart ache, why do we have to be tortured like this. As soon as he ran out of the No. 8 factory building, he didn't run a few steps towards the second gate, when he saw a loud noise and flames ahead, and the people from the 87 faction opened fire. I fell to the ground, gunshots rang out in my ears, and the two sides met again. I quickly got up and ran forward against the wall of the factory building. Not far away was the figure of the tank. The tank should be charging towards us. After running a few more steps, two loud bangs were heard, and the tank was blown to one side, and then smoke began to rise.I yelled good, this should be the tank was blown up by the explosives. I climbed into my sniper position, Zhao Demin was firing a gun, I lay down next to him, and immediately took aim. One of the three tanks of the 87 faction was blown up, and it was still more than 30 meters away from the second gate.The remaining two vehicles have stopped advancing, and one of them is still moving backwards. People from the 87 faction ran around behind the tank, and the windows of many buildings opposite had been occupied by people from the 87 faction, and it seemed that they had entered a stalemate again.However, the gunfire was very dense, and the entire yard was filled with gunfire. I fired two shots but missed the target. When I was about to fire the third shot, Zhao Demin asked me loudly, "Did you find your sister?" I turned my face and answered him loudly: "It's not removed, it should still be there." Zhao Demin shouted: "Then what to do!" Bang bang bang, several gunshots exploded in front of us, Zhao Demin and I quickly lowered our heads, and the sandbags on the sniper position were shaken. I yelled: "Fate to fate! Hold on first and talk later!" Zhao Demin shouted: "No way, the 87 faction can do anything! I'll save your sister." As soon as I finished speaking, I was about to retreat, but I didn't hold back, and Zhao Demin jumped from the sniper position. I cursed: "Demin, I can't take care of my sister now! Come back!" Just as I was about to jump down to catch him, a series of bullets came up again, hitting me so hard that I didn't dare to move. Looking back, Zhao Demin had disappeared. I yelled, and quickly jumped down from the sniper position, only to see the Yiqiao cat approaching me from the corner. I quickly ran over with my waist down and shouted: "Yiqiao, you are crazy. Why are you here?" Yiqiao said, "I'll go find your sister with you!" A few bullets whizzed past my head again, and I quickly pushed Yiqiao down to the ground. She raised her head and turned to Yiqiao. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but Yiqiao also raised her head and turned to me, and our faces met firmly. My face flushed immediately, and Yiqiao should do the same. But we calmed down immediately, how could we have the energy to think about so many romances at this time. I yelled: "Zhao Demin has gone. You stay here, and I will bring Zhao Demin back." Then I got up and ran to the side. If Zhao Demin went to find my sister, he would go out through the gap between No. 4 and No. 5 factory buildings, which is the closest to my sister's dormitory. I stooped and ran for two steps, and when I turned around and saw Yiqiao following me, I scolded: "Yiqiao, you're crazy!" Yiqiao looked at me firmly: "If you are dead, my life is meaningless." My heart felt hot, could this be Yiqiao's confession to me? I shouted: "I won't die! You wait for me to come back!" Then I ran forward desperately, but Yiqiao still followed me. Although my heart was very hot, I knew that I must not let Yiqiao go out with me, so when I went around the No. 4 factory building, I ran into Dong Qingsong and Tian Deguang from our team, and I immediately said to them: "I'm going to save my sister. You hold Pang Yiqiao and don't want her to die." The two people were stunned for a moment, but unexpectedly grabbed Yiqiao who was following behind without thinking. I came to the position between No. 4 and No. 5 factories and asked a person in our brigade: "Has Zhao Demin passed by?" He said: "Not long ago. Didn't say anything!" I yelled: "Brothers, take cover." Then, taking advantage of the sound of gunfire here, I rushed out. In the middle of No. 4-5 factory buildings, there is a large flower bed, and there are two three-story small buildings next to it. There is an independent two-story building in front of the small building on the left. The second floor, the third one, is my sister's dormitory. I hid in the flower bed in the middle of the three-story building, and I could clearly hear people from the 87 faction yelling and running around. I stayed for a while, seeing that there was no movement in front of me, and then I got out and ran forward against the base of the wall. As soon as I walked around the three-story building, I saw two people dragging one person down from the third floor. It seemed that someone was injured. I hurried to a dark room on the first floor. As soon as I got in, a person rushed out of the darkness and tripped me to the ground.I was startled, but I didn't dare to shout out, and immediately fell to the ground along with him, and wrestled on the ground.The two hugged and rolled on the ground twice, the guy's moaning sound was very familiar.And this guy seemed to recognize me too. I took a closer look, and it really was the kid Zhao Demin.Zhao Demin also recognized me, he scolded my mother lightly, and the two of them rolled into a dark corner. Zhao Demin scolded in a low voice: "Why are you here?" I also said in a low voice: "Nonsense!" Zhao Demin straightened up, looked out the window, and said, "It's just opposite, but there seem to be quite a lot of people in that building. I guess your sister must have been discovered." I said, "That's really bad." I also raised myself and looked out the window. Sure enough, there were a few people from the 87 faction standing at the stairs on the second floor opposite.A person looks familiar. I poked Zhao Demin: "The tall guy at the top of the stairs looks familiar." Zhao Demin hummed, and said, "It seems to be Wan Haitao, damn it, he has always been a gangster, why did he join the 87 faction?" I thought of this man, indeed this guy is a hooligan, I knew that he often fought with people when he was in school, and even beat people in our school.But this guy came from a very good background, eight generations of poor peasants, and his father was a martyr, so he was arrogant.Smashing and looting was his favorite thing to do. I asked, "Isn't it true that Wang Shanlin is also from the 87 faction?" Zhao Demin said, "It's possible." Wang Shanlin is a well-known hooligan in the South China Sea, a typical street hooligan, the kind who seeks trouble for nothing, and seems to have been sentenced for intentional wounding, he should be four or five years older than me.Everyone knows that Wan Haitao is actually Wang Shanlin's younger brother. As soon as he thought about this, he saw that someone had come down from the building. Wan Haitao and the others who were guarding the entrance of the building moved away respectfully. Three people came down from upstairs, and the one behind seemed to be still wearing a belt. Zhao Demin immediately said, "Damn it, it's Wang Shanlin's grandson." The leader was indeed Wang Shanlin. This guy belonged to the kind of person who can't be forgotten at a glance, with a fierce look on his face and a smirk from time to time. It seemed that after Wang Shanlin chatted with a few people, the group quickly followed Wang Shanlin and ran away. I felt bad, so I looked at Zhao Demin.Zhao Demin nodded, and the two of us got out of the room. After a few steps, Zhao Demin and I ran to the stairs of the dormitory, looked around for a while, and went to the second floor with Zhao Demin. There was no one on the second floor. Zhao Demin and I quickly approached my sister's dormitory. The door of my sister's dormitory was wide open. As soon as I entered the door, I felt that something was wrong. With the light outside, I saw the situation in the room, and my heart sank. My sister's face was covered with blood, her clothes were torn to pieces, and she was lying half naked on a square table in the room. The gun in my hand fell to the ground, walked up a few steps, and yelled twice: "Yahui, Yahui." My sister didn't respond, I took two steps up, but I couldn't move anymore, because I could see my sister's eyes were still open, but, I knew, she was dead.As soon as my eyes turned black, my body seemed to weaken and I was about to fall. Zhao Demin supported me and said, "Yajun, calm down, calm down." I said in a low voice: "She died, she was raped! She died! She died!" Then I didn't know how to surge up a lot of energy, and I threw away Zhao Demin, grabbed the gun on the ground, and was about to rush out. Zhao Demin pushed me down to the ground with one stride, and I shouted, "Let go of me, Wang Shanlin, I'm going to kill you!" Zhao Demin tried his best to push me to the ground, but he still couldn't control me, and I wanted to rush out like crazy. But at this moment, a figure appeared at the door, and I looked up, and it turned out to be Yiqiao. This made me soften all of a sudden, Yiqiao took two steps into the room, stared blankly at my sister's body, covered her mouth with her hand, and cried out. Zhao Demin said: "Yajun, now is not the time for revenge, you calm down, you calm down. Please!" Yiqiao also saw the two of us, she looked at me, and I looked at her, she choked up and said, "Yajun, clean up Yahui first." I numbly rushed to the ground and crawled up to my sister with tears on my face. I tidied up my sister's blouse, took off the sheet from my sister's bed, and bound up her naked body.The younger sister's eyes were kept open and there was a distinct bruise on her neck where she appeared to have been strangled. After I finished bandaging, I was about to close my sister's eyes. I heard Zhao Demin roar: "Dangerous." Then there was a gunshot.I turned around and saw that Zhao Demin was throwing Pang Yiqiao to the ground, and it was Wan Haitao standing at the door! I screamed and rushed towards Wan Haitao, Wan Haitao fired a shot at me, my right leg went numb, but I didn't care about anything and threw Wan Haitao to the ground. Like an angry lion, I threw my fists and wheels at Wan Haitao's face, and Wan Haitao stopped moving after a few blows. Yiqiao pulled Zhao Demin to stand up, I supported Zhao Demin, Zhao Demin's back was bloody, he must have been hit on the back. Zhao Demin said to me: "It's okay. Let's go." I looked back at my sister, and carried Zhao Demin out of the house.There was a strong smell of gasoline in the room, and Wan Haitao actually brought gasoline. It seemed that he wanted to destroy the corpse. We had just walked downstairs when several guns were pointed at us.It was Wang Shanlin who came head-on.I originally wanted to rush over to fight this guy, but Yiqiao and Zhao Demin beside me made me hold back. I only heard Wang Shanlin say: "The Baolin faction dared to come and lay an ambush? It seems that you don't want to live!" I stared at him without saying a word. Wang Shanlin looked at Yiqiao, and a disgusting smirk appeared on his face: "Hehe, there is such a handsome girl. The three of you really have a set." Then he came up and actually wanted to touch Yiqiao's face, and a few of his dog legs beside him also smirked. I thought in my heart that I would fight them all, and even if I tried my best, I couldn't let Wang Shanlin touch Yiqiao. Just as I was about to let go of Zhao Demin and rush forward, Yiqiao had already spit into Wang Shanlin's face. Wang Shanlin didn't pass by, his face changed drastically, he took a few steps back, and cursed: "Stinky bitch, you are looking for death." Then he glanced at several people around him, and slowly said: "Kill them to death!" Before he could finish speaking, a few flares above his head flashed, illuminating the place brightly, and at the same time, several huge speakers shouted: "Everyone put down their weapons! We want to fight civilly, not violently! I am Chen Jingqiang! Say it again, everyone put down their weapons! I am Chen Jingqiang! Anyone who shoots another shot will be punished as homicide! Put down your weapons!" At the same time, we saw a few Red Guards running towards us in the distance, and the gunshots stopped quickly.Chen Jingqiang is the biggest leader of the South China Sea rebel faction and the director of the South China Sea Revolutionary Committee. All the Red Guard brigades were awarded titles by him.Therefore, the name Chen Jingqiang is quite important in the hearts of all Red Guards.However, Chen Jingqiang acquiesced in the fighting in the South China Sea, because he once held a meeting with our Paulin faction and conveyed the central government's intention to stop the fighting by fighting!If the opponent attacks, you must fight back to defend your revolutionary ideas! Wang Shanlin stared at me and Yiqiao bitterly, and said, "Guilt son, good luck to you! Don't let me touch you next time!" At this time, flames burst out on the second floor, and my sister's room was on fire. Then Wan Haitao was taken down by someone. Wan Haitao glanced at me with a bruised nose and swollen face, and said to Wang Shanlin, "I know this kid, he is that girl's brother." Wang Shanlin actually laughed out loud, sneered at me ferociously, and said, "Boy, you're late." Those Red Guards had already run over, wearing red armbands, which clearly belonged to the headquarters of the South China Sea Rebellion Revolution.Shouted at us: "Everyone put down their weapons! Let's fight with words, not fight!" Wang Shanlin first dropped the gun in his hand and said, "We never fired a gun." The flames on the second floor were soaring into the sky, and in a blink of an eye, the small wooden building was on fire, and my sister disappeared in the fire. And my hatred, like this big fire, blazed up.
