"Woo... Wu..." On the street, a child was crying non-stop. The man holding her hand was no longer in the mood to take care of his child at this moment.
On one side of him is his father, on the other side is his wife. He was lucky enough to work in a factory, and unlucky enough to work in a factory in Wuyang City.
Because he was a very good machine tool worker, he was not drafted and sent to the front line. However, the war was about to spread to Wuyang, and it became very difficult for him to leave the city.
"We have passes!" The man waved the certificate in his hand, but the soldiers blocking him showed no intention of letting him go.
"You don't have a certificate of containment from the Western Wall Fortress, so you can't leave Wuyang!" The soldier carrying a rifle roared loudly. If he didn't roar, there would be almost no sound here.
There were people shouting and children crying everywhere. Because the environment is too noisy, all communication here is full of desperate hysteria.
"Where are we going to find proof of the Western Wall Fortress?" the man shouted loudly, waving the document in his hand. He is just a machine tool worker, responsible for the production of firearms, and is a very important "talent".
On weekdays, he is very proud of his job, because he works very safely in the factory and has no worries that one day he will be deployed to the front line to fight.
Moreover, because his job is very important, his income is also very good. Being able to buy a house in Wuyang City is almost considered the middle class of Qin State.
Although he may be given a few difficult words by his supervisor on weekdays, overall, his life is already better than more than 90% of Qin people.
But this time, his pride was shattered. Originally, he thought that due to the intense war in Wuyang, the talents in the factory needed to retreat to the safer Western Wall Fortress to reorganize production, so he should go smoothly.
But in fact, he was wrong. Due to the confusion in communication, the Qin State did not do any coordination work at all, and almost everyone's movement was blocked by the checkpoints.
The war was in chaos, and the common people did not dare to take the so-called wild road, because according to the laws of the Qin State, once civilians who fled without authorization were caught, they would be executed on the spot without conviction.
Not daring to take risks, they could only crowd in the train station, waving their "passes" which were more valuable than gold, trying to let the soldiers guarding the train station pass.
Unfortunately, the soldiers were ordered not to allow anyone to leave Wuyang. Those workers who are transferred away from Wuyang must have a certificate of accommodation from the receiving place.
In other words, the factory behind them must confirm that they will accommodate these skilled workers, and the workers here must have passes before they are allowed to leave.
The front was advancing so fast that many tasks could not be coordinated at all. The Qin State has not made corresponding preparations at all, so it is impossible for anyone to obtain the so-called "containment certificate" from another factory in the rear in a short period of time.
Even if the factory in the Western Wall Fortress has made these certificates, it will take time to send them to Wuyang City. By the time these documents arrived at Wuyang, there would have been a fight outside Wuyang City.
Moreover, the postal system needed to transport and mail these certificates has collapsed as the war progressed. The communication network in Qin State has almost been paralyzed, and there are no so-called postmen to take care of these messy things.
Some high-value intelligence or high-level contacts may be guaranteed. Who has time to pay attention to the transfer orders of those workers?
"You are killing people by doing this!" the man shouted angrily. He really couldn't understand why these people could do things that harmed this country with confidence.
If workers like him are not allowed to produce safely in the rear, how can there be weapons to arm more troops? Should we use stones to drive away intruders?
These soldiers just don't understand such a simple truth and are not even willing to be accommodating. They are simply poaching this country!
But his shouts were useless, because behind him, more people were crowded together, and the shouts were even harder to hear. There were all kinds of swear words, mixed with the screams of women and the cries of children.
"Stop pushing! There's no way to get through!" A woman shouted, but her voice seemed so small in the train station and was quickly drowned out by other shouts.
"Who touched my butt?" Farther away, a woman was also shouting, but her shout attracted a group of men's evil smiles. At this time, integrity and etiquette no longer exist.
Along with the shouting, another train arrived in Wuyang. The train slowly stopped on the platform, and soldiers carrying weapons jumped out of the carriage one after another and lined up in the white smoke that had not completely dissipated.
The civilians stuck here are no longer surprised by this kind of scene, because recently countless soldiers have been rushed to Wuyang in this way. They were briefly assembled at the station and then lined up and drove out of the city.
I heard that trenches had begun to be dug outside the city, and that many building materials had been seized and controlled by the army. Even some engineering teams were recruited and began to build so-called fortifications outside the city.
Because time is tight, most of the projects are based on the original things: turning the buildings into bunkers, turning the courtyard walls into parapets... In short, the factories in the suburbs of Wuyang City, especially the eastern suburbs , have begun to become so-called construction sites.
Of course, for the common people in the city, these are what they have heard. They cannot see the so-called construction sites at all, because civilians are strictly prohibited from approaching them.
However, there were still some things they could see, and some soldiers began to be ordered to place heavy machine guns on the roofs of taller buildings to enhance the air defense capabilities of the entire city.
Some anti-aircraft guns that were snatched from unknown places were set up in some squares, with a circle of sandbags piled around them, which made people extremely nervous.
There has not been a war in Wuyang City for many years. Where have the common people seen such a battle? If the Tang Empire hadn't used ballistic missiles to attack the city, they would probably be ten times more panicked than they are now.
Soon, the soldiers on the platform began to leave eastward along the direction of the railway extension. They were the Qin army from Daxiguan, and they were at least much stronger than the new city guard soldiers in Wuyang City.
The train that stayed in place made the crowded civilian crowd even more excited. Everyone is clamoring, hoping to board this train and leave this dangerous place.
