The cold wind blew through the streets of Dalkas, picking up the drifting snow that no one had dealt with, and slapped it on the mottled walls. A military truck was parked in the middle of the street, and dwarf soldiers with guns around them were knocking on doors from house to house.
Gates of small town houses.
"Open the door! If there is someone inside, it is a crime not to open the door!" The shivering soldiers stamped their feet and slapped the door. They needed a place to stay warm and avoid the cold, and these intact buildings were simply the best place.
Along the way, they have had enough of those leaky tents, so they want to share the warm room with these sinners... yes, sinners.
According to the decree issued by Binghan I more than two months ago, the dwarves in the occupied areas are guilty. They should actively resist before they are occupied, and they should continue to fight after being occupied.
But of course it is impossible for civilians to implement such a decree. Everyone thinks that such an order is simply drawn up by a madman. The soldiers have been beaten away, what can they do if they are left behind as civilians? Do they use forks and hoes to find the Tang army?
Death-defying?
In the past two months or so, the dwarves were naturally unable to implement such a decree, because they had no ability to successfully retake the area occupied by the Tang Army. Therefore, this decree was in vain and no one cared about it.
The situation is different now. The dwarves have recaptured a large area in the southern plains. The dwarf civilians in this area have naturally become "criminals" who may be liquidated at any time.
Originally, there was no problem with this. Everyone knew that no lunatic would really punish civilians based on such a law. But sometimes, some coincidences can be so fatal.
You must know that the marshal who organized this counterattack was Xie Ke. He retreated all the way from the northern front to here. The troops in his hands also looted and looted all the way until today.
They have all become accustomed to the pitiful days of low logistics supplies, and have long been accustomed to finding food, drink, and clothing by themselves. Now, in front of them is a group of legally guilty people, how could they let them go?
These people had plenty to eat and drink. The troops of the Tang Empire did not plunder them. Instead, they carried forward their glorious tradition and provided a lot of food relief to these civilians.
Well now, once the dwarf troops arrived in Darkas, these reliefs turned out to be evidence that these civilians were collaborating with the enemy and treason: If you are willing to hand over all your money and grain reserves, your house and clothes, and leave your daughter
If you respect the officer, you can go out and freeze to death with a dog's life. If you don't want to... then you can only choose another way to die.
"Open the door!" The reason why he knocked patiently on the door was mainly because he didn't want to kick open the door and let the air leak out, causing trouble for him to occupy the magpie's nest. If the people inside were willing to open the door and cooperate, they would also save themselves the trouble of finding something to repair the door in the future.
But most of the dwarf civilians who already knew the virtues of these people were reluctant to open the door. On the outskirts of Dalkas, these thieves of the 9th Army had killed many people and cleared many streets.
"Sir, we have nothing to eat. The people who came in front have taken away all the food. Let us go..." The old man in the room said in an extremely sour tone. When humans came here, they didn't
endured such humiliation.
"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't open the door, you will be in trouble when we get in!" The soldiers outside the door were impatient and shouted at the top of their lungs.
He didn't get many supplies along the way, and his clothes were very thin. If he didn't grab some clothes and food, he doubted whether he could make it to the next village.
As for how much food the civilians in the house have left and whether they have anything to eat, that is not what he cares about. As long as he goes in and gives them a good beating, the other party will usually do anything.
If it really doesn't work, you can kill them and then look for them yourself, and most of the time you can find some: anyway, this is not the first time they have done this, and they no longer feel any guilt in their hearts.
"Please, let us go!" The man in the room grabbed a shotgun and looked nervously at the door and begged: "My son is also a soldier... We have never betrayed this country...
"
Behind him, the young granddaughter was shivering, with a pair of frightened eyes full of uneasiness. She knew what would happen to her and her grandfather if the door was opened. Their neighbor had already experienced it yesterday.
Those people took away all their food and all their money. Because the amount given was quite considerable, she was able to survive by hiding in the cupboard. The girl next door was not so lucky.
He was defiled by many dwarf soldiers and hung himself from the rafter last night.
"Open the door for me! If you don't open it, we'll smash it down!" The soldier outside the door showed a ferocious look. He was already getting irritated because the old man in the room was a little too ignorant.
"Smash!" Before the other party could open the door, the dwarf soldier carrying a rifle shook his chin at his comrades. While saying this, he also took off the rifle on his back.
"Bang!" The door was hit with a muffled sound, and the grandfather and grandson in the room were frightened. The old man's hand holding the rifle was trembling. He had never used this thing on anyone.
This rifle is a needle-fired rifle that has long since been obsolete. The manufacturer is the Datang Group. I don’t know what channel it went through, but it was sold here and became a hunting rifle. It fell into the hands of this old hunter.
.
"Crash!" Finally, the fragile door was kicked open by someone, and a few dwarf soldiers who had become completely irritable rushed into the house. In their view, the people in the house were already lambs to be slaughtered.
, they will soon be able to legitimately occupy this house and occupy everything inside.
"Bang!" A crisp gunshot echoed in the wind and snow. The dwarf soldier who had just slapped the door stopped his arrogant steps, looked down at the blood gushing out of his chest, his eyes darkened, and he fell down.
The soldiers nearby reacted immediately and ran for cover: "He has a gun! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
On the street outside the door, the dwarf soldiers who were searching for civilians instantly panicked. If this shot meant that the Tang army had returned, then they would not be able to resist in this state.
The soldiers who were extremely arrogant just now all hunched their necks and looked for hiding places. After all, they were all soldiers who had been fighting for a long time, and their tactical abilities were still somewhat limited.
