Shu Liang looked back at the three people behind him. His eyes were full of tears. His submachine gun clubbed on the ground, and the blood kept flowing down his cheeks. When one leg crossed the minefield, it was dislocated by the air wave of the mine, two fingers of the left hand were blown off, and shrapnel passed through the back of the waist, leaving a foot long blood groove. Fortunately, it missed the point, otherwise I would sleep in Ganzigou like other comrades in arms.

Although the sneak attack on Ganzigou failed, Shu Liang didn't have any depression on his face. The only thing that worried him was the 397 missing soldiers.

A sudden sandstorm completely disrupted the operational deployment, and the operation was not a complete failure. The opponent also suffered a sandstorm attack, and the loss was no less than Shu Liang. It is expected that it will be difficult for the opponent to organize an effective attack within two or three months.

All this is because of the rich coal mines in hacheng. Banknotes have long become a piece of waste paper. Metal currencies such as gold and silver have also lost their value. The goods traded by both sides are limited to grain, white crystal and genetic drugs. In addition, there is only one way left to plunder by force.

In order to compete for coal resources, the rebels entrenched in Wucheng have constantly launched one battle after another against the coal mines in hacheng. The two sides have developed from a small-scale conflict of more than a dozen people to a big scuffle of thousands of people. It is unknown how many people died in the coal mine battle. God knows how long the war will last.

This is an undisclosed battle. Both sides involved in the war are regular armies. For their respective interests, they have to tear their faces and compete for resources.

"Battalion commander, what shall we do now?" he was talking about the investigation and elimination of tigers. A deep bone wound hung on a childish little face, adding a bit of the strong color of soldiers.

"Where are we now?"

Huzi turned over the military map, drew on the map with his hand, and compared with the surrounding scenery: "battalion commander, this should not be far from Lihua coal mine, or I'll investigate it.".

Shu Liang looked at the gray sky and said, "I'll give you an hour. Go and go back.".

"Yes!" tiger turned and ran to the nearest mountain.

"Lihua coal mine!" Shu Liang unfolded a topographic map of hacheng in his mind, identified the direction, and ordered the two soldiers around him: "you fan search the range of three kilometers to the East, look for the missing survivors, don't get close to the minefield, go and return quickly!"

With the escalating battle between the two sides for coal mines, the two sides buried a minefield 20 kilometers long and 500 meters wide in Ganzigou area. It is this huge minefield that blocks the possibility of continued large-scale conflict between the two sides. However, just a few days ago, the informant reported that the opponent secretly deployed 3000 troops in Ganzigou area, and a large number of minesweepers appeared on the other side of the minefield, and a large-scale conflict was imminent.

In order to contain the opponent's possible attack, Harbin City decided that Shu Liang led a 400 person team into the opponent's position and destroyed the opponent's Minesweeper.

The operation started very smoothly. The opponent did not find Shu Liang and the sneak attack troops suddenly appeared in his position. After successfully blowing up 14 minesweepers, Shu Liang led the troops to retreat. At this time, the sandstorm without any sign suddenly attacked Shu Liang's army and the rival army. Both sides lost their way in the sandstorm and broke into the mine area planted by both sides.

The sandstorm was ferocious. The dust covered the sky and reduced the visibility to 0. Even if the hostile sides stood face to face, they could not see the face of the people in front of them.

The two sides had to stop hostilities, get involved with each other, lie on the ground and wait for the dust storm to pass.

From the beginning of the disaster, this is the 14th sandstorm that Shuliang has encountered. Compared with the previous 13 sandstorms, this sandstorm is more violent. It lasted longer. After the dust storm slowed down, Shu Liang found that he had been buried in the ground by more than a foot thick dust. There were less than thirty or forty people around him. The people hiding in the bunker with him were his former opponents.

Under the rational control of both sides, they began to break away from contact "politely" while the dust storm weakened.

Perhaps the two sides were too nervous. Someone detonated a mine when they broke away from contact. A friction inevitably occurred. Shu Liang took more than a dozen soldiers to fight and retreat. In panic, someone detonated an underground mine. Shu Liang was injured at that time.

No one knows whether the remaining comrades in arms are there, whether they are dead or alive, whether they can safely get out of the minefield, and finally how many people can return to Harbin alive. Everything is unknown.

"Damn sandstorms", Shu Liang didn't resent his opponent, but gave his hatred to the unpredictable sandstorms. He didn't understand why sandstorms became more and more frequent and more violent. The abnormal climate has caused the disappearance and death of many soldiers. "This battle can't be fought anymore". There have been 14 sandstorms in only half a year. I don't know whether there will be more sandstorms in the coming dry autumn.

Shu Liang leaned against a rock and covered the aching and bleeding wound. He thought of his two-year-old son and his innocent smile. The pain on his body was not so severe.

"Battalion commander, the investigation is clear. Lihua coal mine is less than ten miles away!"

I don't know when the tiger who went out to investigate appeared in front of Shu Liang. He struggled to hold the rock and stood up and looked around. The soldiers searching for survivors have returned. There are more than a dozen wounded soldiers around. Some of them lean against the tree, some lie on the bare yellow soil, with a painful color on their face, but they all bite their teeth without making a sound.

"Target Lihua coal mine, let's go!"

The sky gradually darkened, and there were still traces of dust storms on the ground. The thick and thin trees at the mouth of the bowl were uprooted. The air was filled with invisible dust, and the mouth seemed to swallow a handful of sand, which was raw and difficult to swallow.

The surviving soldiers were gray all over, and the camouflage clothes lost the role of camouflage. The soldiers with broken hands helped their comrades with broken legs, snuggled up to each other and staggered forward.

Lihua coal mine is the coal mine closest to the minefield. A company of soldiers has been stationed for a long time. Now Shu Liangzheng is leading the surviving soldiers to Lihua coal mine. Only there can these soldiers get treatment and rest.

"Bah!" Shu Liang spat with dust and was helped forward by the tiger. This action did not fail, but he may lose the opportunity to lead the army. The cruel internal struggle is no less bloody than the battlefield. This is the end of the world. He can't return to Harbin now for his warm family, his wife and his two-year-old son.
