forty-four
After being silent for a while, Jiang Haowen sighed and looked at Ning Zhiguo.
"How? Is it to say or to resist? Ning Zhiguo asked Jiang Haowen.
"That's right! I am the fog of the underground head of the CCP in Guilin, which you have been looking for! Jiang Haowen replied to Ning Zhiguo.
"Finally admit it? Comrade Mist, you have fought with our party for so many years, and you have also helped our party a lot, I admire you very much! We've fought so many times in secret, and I haven't even seen you face to face! I've thought about many possibilities, and I even suspect your brother Jiang Haoyu's head! But I didn't expect that this legend of the Guilin underground party would actually be you! Ning Zhiguo said to Jiang Haowen.
"Deputy Stationmaster Ning, if you put aside your respective political positions, I actually appreciate you very much!" Jiang Haowen said to Ning Zhiguo.
"What do I have to appreciate? I've been fighting against you for so many years, but I haven't even seen you face to face, and I don't even know if you're a man or a woman! Ning Zhiguo asked Jiang Haowen puzzled.
"Deputy Stationmaster Ning, don't waste time, let's directly arrest the fog!" Che Jiayu urged Ning Zhiguo again.
"Shut up! Comrade Mist, you say! I, Ning Zhiguo, what is there to admire? Ning Zhiguo said to Jiang Haowen.
"You're a good agent! You have cultivated countless excellent spies who once terrified traitors and devils during the anti-Japanese period! You used to be an anti-Japanese hero, and you were a good partner who secretly cooperated with me! But the only regret is that we still have to go down the opposite path after all! Jiang Haowen said.
"The ways are different but not the same! But Minister Jiang, there is one sentence I really want to ask you! Ning Zhiguo said.
"Ask!" Jiang Haowen said calmly to Ning Zhiguo.
"We could have been a good partner! But why did you choose to embark on this road of no return? Ning Zhiguo's somewhat angry Jiang Haowen asked.
"For a clear conscience about the country!" Jiang Haowen replied firmly to Ning Zhiguo.
"You fart! Still have a clear conscience about this country? Who are you worthy of? Are you worthy of the cultivation that the party-state once cultivated you? Are you worthy of your faith? Ning Zhiguo questioned Jiang Haowen.
"My belief is the Communist Party of China! I have a clear conscience about my beliefs! Jiang Haowen replied.
"Are you embarrassed to say these words? What qualifications do you have to say these words? Don't talk about yourself so high-sounding, you are just a traitor, a traitor to the party-state! Ning Zhiguo said to Jiang Haowen.
"Deputy Stationmaster Ning! Why are you so stubborn? Don't you know better in your heart than I do? The current party-state is no longer the party-state of the past! It's still huge, but it's slowly corroding inside! Sooner or later, he will fall! Deputy Stationmaster Ning, I advise you to think clearly, what is the right path and what is the wrong path! Jiang Haowen said to Ning Zhiguo.
"The right path? The wrong path? Great! Is your communism the truth, the only correct way to save China? Less fucking fart! Don't fool me here! Yes, you communists are great! The Guilin underground party sacrificed so many people, isn't it just to protect you, a big man? How great! It's great! But Jiang Haowen, I, Ning Zhiguo, tell you that I am loyal to the party-state, and I will be loyal to the party-state for the rest of my life! I have no regrets! After Ning Zhiguo finished speaking, he shot Jiang Haowen in the arm.
Jiang Haowen fell to the ground in pain after being shot, he covered his wound hard, raised his head and looked at Ning Zhiguo angrily.
"Take it away!" Ning Zhiguo gave an order to the agents of the military command.
Just as Jiang Haowen closed his eyes and was about to accept the death sentence, there was a sudden sound of gunfire around.
The military commander's agents were shot one by one and fell in a pool of blood, and Ning Zhiguo quickly pulled up Jiang Haowen and put a gun to his head.
In the dark, Huang Tao and Liao Guiping led people from both sides of the stairs into the corridor.
Ning Zhiguo smiled bitterly at Huang Tao and the others who were approaching.
"Deputy Stationmaster Ning, long time no see!" Huang Tao mocked Ning Zhiguo.
"Huang Tao, you traitor still dare to appear! Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you right now? After Ning Zhiguo saw Huang Tao, his mood began to become unstable.
"Surrender, Deputy Stationmaster Ning! Do you think you still have a chance of winning at this point? Liao Guiping said to Ning Zhiguo.
"Although the reinforcements of the military commander and the Gui family have been intercepted and interfered with by you, they should be almost there! As long as I can delay, do you think you'll be able to get out of the Gui station alive? Ning Zhiguo said mockingly to a few people.
"Kill you, and no one will know about today!" Liao Guiping angrily pointed a gun at Ning Zhiguo.
"If I die, I will also pull Jiang Haowen to the bottom!" Ning Zhiguo viciously held a gun against Jiang Haowen's head.
Huang Tao's face showed a nervous expression, he understood that now that he and the others had forced Ning Zhiguo to a dead end, once Ning Zhiguo's anger came up, Jiang Haowen would sacrifice in his hands at any time.
"Deputy Stationmaster Ning, make a deal! I'll be your hostage, and you'll let my big brother go! We can guarantee to let you go! What do you think? It's a money-making deal! Huang Tao tried to calm Ning Zhiguo's emotions.
"Ah Tao! Don't be stupid! Jiang Haowen stopped Huang Tao.
"Do you think I'm a fool? Jiang Haowen has a lot of chips in my hands! What kind of thing are you, why do you want to exchange you for Jiang Haowen? Besides, how do I know if you're going to let me go? Ning Zhiguo replied angrily to Huang Tao.
"Do you think you have any other options now?" Liao Guiping said to Ning Zhiguo.
"If you don't take Jiang Haowen's life seriously, come up and try it!" Ning Zhiguo clenched the gun in his hand and said to a few people.
The suppressed emotions in Jiang Haowen's heart broke out again, he used all his strength to hit his elbow behind him, Ning Zhiguo, who had already entered middle and old age, did not catch his full force, and the whole person fell directly to the ground.
Because he was holding the gun tightly in his hand, the gun in Ning Zhiguo's hand did not fall even if he fell to the ground.
Ning Zhiguo reacted quickly, he raised his gun and aimed it at Jiang Haowen to shoot.
"Big brother be careful!" Huang Tao rushed in front of Jiang Haowen with great speed and blocked the fatal shot.
"Tao!" Jiang Haowen immediately supported Huang Tao, who was about to fall to the ground.
Liao Guiping and the surrounding guerrillas continuously pulled the trigger on Ning Zhiguo, who fell to the ground, and Ning Zhiguo died at the door of Bai Dongnian's office.
"Tao!" "Comrade Lijiang!"
"Big, big brother! Let me call you one last time! After that, there is no chance! Huang Tao covered the bleeding wound and said to Jiang Haowen.
"No, it won't! Don't talk nonsense, you'll be fine! Jiang Haowen held back his tears and said to Huang Tao.
"Big brother! Only if I die here, can your suspicion be truly lifted! You must keep fighting! Don't give up! Brother, go first! Huang Tao said intermittently to Jiang Haowen.
"No, it won't! Comrade Lijiang, you will definitely be fine! Liao Guiping said to Huang Tao with tears in his eyes.
"Xiao Liao! In the future, you will take my place and continue to complete those tasks for me, which are not completed! Please, please! Huang Tao said to Liao Guiping.
"No, it won't! Comrade Lijiang, you'll be fine! You will always be my upline Comrade Lijiang! The more Liao Guiping said, the more tears flowed.
Jiang Haowen held back the sadness in his heart and looked at Liao Guiping.
Jiang Haowen escaped a roll of film from his pocket and handed it to Liao Guiping.
"From now on, you will be Comrade Lijiang! This is the list of agents for Project Plague! Take it with you and go back to the liberated territories! Jiang Haowen explained to Liao Guiping.
"I'm not leaving! I want to stay and fight with you, Comrade Lijiang will not be sacrificed! There's no way I'm going to replace him! Liao Guiping replied to Jiang Haowen.
"If your people don't leave, after a while, the people from the Gui family and the military commander will come, and none of us will survive!" Jiang Haowen said to Liao Guiping seriously.
"Hurry up! Walk! Jiang Haowen's last sentence turned into a roar.
"Comrade Mist, you must live safely!" Liao Guiping got up and wiped his tears, and after saying goodbye to Jiang Haowen, he left the Gui station with people.
Huang Tao looked at Liao Guiping's departing back, and finally closed his eyes with peace of mind.
"Tao!"
Jiang Haowen looked at Huang Tao, who had his eyes closed forever in his arms, his emotions instantly collapsed, and his tears could no longer be stopped.
Huang Tao sacrificed, but he died following his beliefs.
Jiang Hao was not a sad moment now, he put down Huang Tao's body, took out a dagger and stabbed it at his other hand.
After that, he swallowed the pain and went to the staircase and pretended to pass out on the ground.
The reinforcements of the Gui family and the military commander soon came to the Gui station, and found Jiang Haowen and others.
Because Jiang Haowen was still alive, he was immediately sent to the hospital for treatment.
Because the undercover agents within the Gui military system were anxious at that time and directly notified Ning Zhiguo, Su Ben did not receive the news.
And judging from the scene, there is no direct evidence to prove that Jiang Haowen is an undercover agent.
On the contrary, countless evidence points to Jiang Haoyu's heroic deeds, and it was he who heroically killed Huang Tao, the underground party of the Communist Party of China.
Before reinforcements arrived, Liao Guiping and his men had already retreated into the mountains.
In this battle, the losses on both sides were large.
However, because of Jiang Haowen's meticulous planning and the wise command of the executors, the losses of the underground party and guerrillas in Guilin were minimized in this battle.
