USSR 1991

"Yes!" The soldier sitting on the roof repeated, and everyone's answers were louder and more orderly this time.

"Very good, the ditch is not deep, everyone get out of the car, find the red star badge and move on! Soviet soldiers can't even protect their own people, what kind of heroes are they!"

Lieutenant Valenin's order is unquestionable. These enthusiastic young men jumped off the chariot and joined the ranks of helping to find the badge, groping in the ditch regardless of the cold winter and the filth of the mud. No one complained and no one Yang obeys and Yin violates, because they all know that everything they do is for the people.Relying on the advantage of their large number, these Soviet soldiers quickly found the lost badge from the mud.

"Look, I found it." A young man held up the badge he found as if he was showing off his treasure, and the people around him stopped looking and came forward to praise him.He carefully wiped off the dirt with his cuffs, then handed it to Ivauri with both hands, and said to him with a smile, "Fortunately, the badge is not damaged, it's just a little dirty. Don't be sad, senior."

Facing the young soldier with a gentle smile, Ivauri's eyes suddenly became blurred, and old muddy tears ran down his cheeks. He had a lot to say, but in the end he just said thank you with an excited expression.

Second Lieutenant Valenin wiped away Ivauri's tears and dirty dirt on his face with a clean towel, and said in a heavy tone, "Senior has suffered, I know not everyone can understand our lofty ideals, There will always be offal laughing at us, but no one can deny its greatness. You did your best in the Great Patriotic War in 1942, now, it is up to us to take over the flag in your hands and move on.”

"Don't cry, senior. We will inherit your will to fight regardless of everything."

Ivauri was at a loss for words for a moment, as if standing in front of him was the company commander who took over the hammer and sickle red flag from the dead flag bearer during the last charge, leading everyone to the most tragic advance.He vaguely remembered that the company commander planted the red flag on the ground before he died. Even though he was shot several times in the end and died, he still held the red flag tightly with both hands before he died.

"Boys, don't be dazed, we are ready to set off to clean up those bastards." Lieutenant Valenin climbed back into the first infantry vehicle, and after everyone was seated, he patted the driver's cover and pulled The voice yelled at the people inside, "Hurry up, it's time to start. Otherwise we won't be able to catch up."

"Go forward, Davarich." The others shouted in unison.

The front BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle was started and continued to move forward. Some Soviet soldiers sitting on it smiled and waved goodbye to Iwauri, like a young face preparing to go to the front line in 1942, and ran towards the unknown. Danger ahead.But the veteran Ivauri knew that no matter how dangerous the front was, these young and determined soldiers would not retreat, because he saw the shadows of the comrades who died in these people.

When they waved goodbye to their relatives and headed towards Stalingrad, didn't they look as determined as they did?

"Company commander, political commissar, have you seen that?" Iwauri, who was looking excitedly, kept looking at the direction they were going away, and said to himself, "The Soviet has not fallen, and our will will still be inherited."

Your will, we will inherit.

This sentence has been echoing in his ears for a long time.

Chapter 81 Liberation Square

The armored units of the 03th Motorized Infantry Regiment entered the square half an hour later than the scheduled time. Before they encountered the roadblocks set up by rioters on the street, the skirmish line stopped and stopped until 30:[-] At that time, the motorized infantry regiment came into contact with the angry crowd in the area on the right side of the government building, trying to clear the scene and drive those assembled from the square in front of the government building.

Lieutenant Colonel Baranknov, who was in charge of on-site operations, stood on the front T72 tank and spoke to the opportunity personnel through a loudspeaker, advising them to leave the square and warning that unauthorized gatherings must not continue, otherwise we will use Military forces carried out violent clearance.Look firm and show a "don't say it's unpredictable" attitude.

But his response was booed by a large mob, some of whom threw stones and wine bottles at Lieutenant Colonel Baranknov and shouted that the Soviet mob should get out of Georgia.However, due to the distance between them, some wine bottles just hit the shields and helmets of the front soldiers, causing no casualties.

In desperation, Lieutenant Colonel Baranknov had no choice but to invite the influential Supreme Bishop Ilya II of Georgia from the Georgian cathedral to speak to the masses. Ilya II came out with the help of Barankenov and stood in front of the gathering crowd.

Ilya II asked them to stop the assembly and go home obediently according to what the army said. He warned the ignorant and fearless crowd with some anxiety, "There is really danger here, it's only a few minutes away, listen to me , hurry up and leave."

"Bah!" The person standing at the front made an insulting gesture towards Ilya II, "Get out of here, old man, don't you feel ashamed here? What benefits did the Soviets give you? If people don't do it, I am willing to be a dog of the Russians."

"Yes, lackey, you lackey of the Soviet authorities! You are not worthy to be the patriarch of the Orthodox Church! Get out! We need to elect another patriarch who supports democracy." Someone began to scold Ilya II who spoke for the Soviets, as if Whoever speaks for the Soviet Union is a traitor to Georgia.

"Go back, we don't have a patriarch like you! Get out!" One of them grabbed a stone and threw it at Ilya II. Lieutenant Colonel Baranknov, who had quick eyes and quick hands, rushed in front of Ilya II. He blocked the stone for him, but luckily it didn't hit the chief patriarch's head, but hit Lieutenant Colonel Baranknov on the back.There was still some pain when the sharp stone hit his body, Lieutenant Colonel Baranknov bit his lip and frowned, cursing inwardly as a bastard.

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant Colonel Baranknov, for troubling you. It seems that these people are unwilling to follow my advice." Ilya II said with some guilt.He really wanted to stop these people from acting irrationally, but their instigated fanaticism could no longer be calmed down, and a calm tone could not talk to such a group of paranoid people.

"It's okay, Patriarch." Baranknov smiled pretending to be okay.

Maybe they really need to really feel the fear of the violent machine before they will really be willing to sit down and listen to the army's advice to leave after they are stained with the blood of their companions.

Ilia II shook his head, drew a cross on his chest, and said repentantly, "Merciful Lord, I have tried my best, please forgive these lost lambs."

"Forgiving them is God's business. We are only responsible for sending them to meet God." After all, Lieutenant Colonel Barankenov looked at the complacent idiot in front of him with some regrets. He picked up the communication phone and spoke to the people present All army combat teams gave the final order to clear the field.

"Violent clearance, drive these people from the square with sticks and bullets, defend the Soviet!"

After receiving the order to clear the field, the ones at the front began to move forward with a line of shields to expel the rioting crowd.But the cunning opposition formed a fighting team composed of athletes who mastered fighting skills and strong men. When the clearing began, they rushed to the forefront and clashed with the shield team first.These people started a fierce and tenacious resistance with wooden sticks, metal devices, knives and javelins in their hands.The soldiers rushing to the front were not their opponents at all.All of a sudden, the team was restricted and could not move forward half a step.

However, the military personnel are also not to be outdone. The explosion-proof guns in the hands of the soldiers hiding behind the shield phalanx are not vegetarians.Their guns were aimed at the rioting crowd, and the crowd who rushed to the front with weapons were instantly overturned by the anti-riot guns and couldn't move. In the past, ghosts and wolves who were trampled on in an instant cried and howled.

"Students, follow me and kill these Russian beasts!" The student leader raised his head and shouted to rush to the front, calling on others to follow him to beat the soldiers.

Some fresh-blooded students were driven mad by the sight before them. They rushed forward desperately to beat the soldiers, snatch the batons and smash the shields. The student leader was holding an iron rod, and was about to call out to his hesitant accomplices behind him. He continued to rush forward, but was hit hard on the back of the head with a baton.

Lieutenant Valenin, who was holding a nightstick, spat at him and said disdainfully, "Bastard, why don't you stay in school and study for fun, you deserve to be beaten."

The student leader who was beaten squatted on the ground and covered his bleeding head. The noisy crowd around became quiet as if the sound was filtered by a sponge. He wanted to call the people around him to come and help, but found that the surrounding scene became blurred .Then he didn't know if his stomach was kicked hard by his own people or by the army. The student leader who had been so glorious just now fell silently, allowing the people around him to step on him.

The clearance operation has become stalemate, and the army and the demonstrators are now evenly matched.Lieutenant Colonel Baranknov had no choice but to order the troops to use Lishu-3 and K-15 tear gas bombs and throw them in front of the citizens who refused to leave.The irritating smoke left others gasping for breath, crying non-stop, and unable to open their eyes.

The parade citizens who temporarily took to the streets did not know that the army had prepared such a gift. Those who did not have gas masks had no choice but to drop their weapons and retreat one after another.

The prepared troops had already put on their gas masks. Although some were injured, the vast majority still maintained their combat effectiveness. Relying on the neat line of shields, they continued to move forward.Squeeze the people with shields, drive those people out with sticks, and drive them out of the square completely.

The rebels gradually became powerless and were forced to retreat step by step.Although some people are still throwing stones and wine bottles at the soldiers, they have no combat effectiveness.Just when Lieutenant Colonel Baranknov was already in his hands, something unexpected happened.

A frightening gunshot came from the opposition, stimulating everyone's nerves.Both the retreating opposition and the advancing soldiers paused, because they saw the soldiers walking in front fell to the ground when the gunshots sounded, lying in a pool of blood.The people around rushed to help them press the wound, and called the doctors behind to come forward for emergency treatment.

Lieutenant Colonel Baranknov restrained his smile because he saw someone on the opposition side holding an RPK light machine gun and rushing towards them.Surrounding the machine gunner was a group of guys holding Kalashnikov and Tokarev pistols, running aggressively towards the army, beckoning the people around them to charge with them, and yelling to kill all the Soviet troops .

The disorganized opposition began to gather again, and the thugs, supported by guns and ammunition, rushed forward to the army even more brazenly, shouting loudly to fight the Soviet army to the end.

Seeing this scene, Lieutenant Colonel Baranknov's heart suddenly shrank, and the scene he least wanted to see still appeared.What these people have done is no longer a street political drama, but a complete rebellion!

Chapter 82 Crush 'em!

Before Lieutenant Colonel Barankenov came to Tbilisi to take charge of on-site issues, Yanayev made a private phone call to him in the Kremlin and revealed to him a shocking news. Possibly possessed a batch of firearms shipped from abroad and used them against Soviet troops.Therefore, when Lieutenant Colonel Baranknov is responsible for maintaining stability on the spot, he must bring live ammunition and guns to avoid heavy casualties for the army.

Of course, the person who provided this information was Victor Bout of the dead businessman. He has been taken care of by the Moscow side, and he has always been a duck to water in international arms transactions, and he has met a group of influential friends in the international arena.Of course, the secret information on weapons was also provided to him by those friends, and then he provided it to the top officials in Moscow.

After Yanayev received this information, he did not directly question the President of Georgia, but stayed still until he showed his feet and then caught him all.

Although he was somewhat suspicious of the authenticity of the information provided, Lieutenant Colonel Baranknov did as he did. He ordered all combatants to prepare live ammunition before leaving the military base, and be ready for armed conflict with those militants at any time.

Sure enough, at this moment, what Moscow’s high-level officials told him was fulfilled. The rebels with Kalashnikov rifles held the guns against their waists, held the grip with one hand, clamped the butt of the gun with their arms, and held the gun with the other hand. Grab the handguard and straf the troops.While pulling the wounded soldiers back in an orderly manner, the remaining troops fired back with the explosion-proof guns in their hands. They all hid behind armored vehicles and tanks to prevent being hit by bullets.

The frenzied militants shot at the wounded soldiers on the ground while the troops were retreating. Soldiers who were still struggling or seriously injured and immobile became the targets of their venting. Some wounded soldiers who tried to rescue them were also shot. Knocked down.The cunning militants kept torturing the psychological defense of the Soviet soldiers by using the method of encircling the points to fight for aid.Those who wanted to rush forward desperately were stopped by other companions.

Fortunately, he followed Moscow's advice before. At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Barankenov finally issued an order to clear Moscow violently. When he asked how to deal with armed rioters, the Soviet General Secretary Yanayev on the phone Respond to him in the harshest tone.

"Wherever you meet militants, kill them, and if you don't have bullets, just crush them with tanks!"

To prevent the live ammunition firearms from being seized by the people before, all the soldiers' weapons are kept in the rear, but now the rioters who have finally torn their faces are just the targets of these firearms.The angry soldiers immediately fought back against those people after receiving their guns. Except for the Soviet soldiers who were suppressed by them when they had no guns at the beginning, the armed mobs never had a chance to suppress the Soviet army.

Four T72 tanks began to move forward. The general-purpose machine guns on the tanks suppressed the attacking militants. The person carrying the RPK machine gun was instantly killed. Other militants were also suppressed by the machine gun fire, and some were killed on the spot Those who were killed and those who were not killed hurriedly searched for shelters to avoid, and they could not move after hiding in the bunkers.The soldiers hurriedly dragged the wounded companion lying on the ground back and evacuated to a safe area.

When the general-purpose machine gunner on the tank suppressed the opponent's firepower, the soldiers who had been hiding behind the T72 tank stood up. They were distributed on both sides of the tank and followed the tank while shooting and pushing forward. This moment was perfectly interpreted.

The militants, who realized that the situation was not good, tried to escape, but they were suppressed by machine guns, so they had to hide behind the bunker and could not move. Except for the bunker, there was an open space nearby, and as long as they took a step, they would be killed.

The steel tracks continued to move forward, and the militants looked ridiculous and small in front of the huge body of the steel monster weighing more than ten tons, which caused a great psychological blow to them. These guys with rifles Not a match for tanks at all.

"Don't shoot, we surrender!" Knowing that he had no chance of winning, someone finally threw the rifle out of the bunker. He raised his hands and said tremblingly.

Lieutenant Colonel Baranknov decisively ordered the soldiers to stop shooting. After seeing the shooting stop, other militants who were greedy for life and fear of death also came out of the bunker one after another, threw their rifles aside, and begged the Soviet soldiers with their hands high up shot.
