            Strongpoint  Beatrice  506,  made  the  surface  of  the  hill  as  the
            beehives, and the blood mixed with water filling in slowly. The
            defense bunkers broke down on the ground as the big earthquake
            disaster with the weak smoke, and  flames are rising under the
            drizzle. The dead bodies lay everywhere on the battle, while the
