The first shots exploded around 9:40 p.m.
On Sept. 11, 2012, a group of local fighters, AK-47s in hand, burst through the fortified front gate of a US outpost in Benghazi, Libya.
One very long night later, the diplomatic compound was engulfed in flames and a covert CIA base a mile away lay in ruins, partially reduced to rubble by mortar fire.
Four Americans were dead, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens and two CIA members.
What happened in between is covered in “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi,” a new film from Transformers” director Michael Bay in theaters Friday.
It focuses on a team of six military contractors who happened to be stationed at the CIA base when the fighting broke out. 
They chose to join the battle, spending more than half a day repelling attackers.

Read on and cry for our heroes.
