Chapter 20 The Body is a Shield
It was a security operation against the Special Envoy.
The Central Investigation Department received information that both the Soviet Union and the United States were going to assassinate the Chinese envoy to South Africa. Bai Qiulu's task is to ensure the absolute safety of the envoy with his life when he is in danger.
Natalia was the leader of the assassination team, and Natalia was followed by Lyuba, Grigory, Belinsky, Ivanovich, and Repin of the Operations Directorate of the USSR State Security Council. None of them were in South Africa for the first time, for them: the world was in their hands, they were another expression of death, and everyone in the Operations Directorate of the USSR State Security Committee was a legend. Anyone who the USSR did not like was included in the list of assassinations of the USSR State Security Council. As long as you are included in the assassination list of the State Security Council of the USSR, then, your existence is only a matter of time. Those who were fortunate enough to be included in this assassination list were politicians, thinkers, economists, celebrities, businessmen, and so on from all over the world that were not popular with the Soviet Union, and their industries covered the political, military, economic, cultural, and business circles, including domestic politicians, marshals, generals, writers, journalists, and so on. The 23 bureaus set up by the State Security Committee of the USSR carried out the surveillance of personnel in all spheres of the Soviet Union, from politics to economy and culture, so as to achieve the purpose of control. From within the Soviet Union to the countries of the world, as long as the State Security Committee of the USSR is not happy with you, then you are the end of the world. The Soviet State Security Council will go to great lengths to hunt you down until you disappear from this world. Therefore, the unit of the State Security Council of the USSR was called the "butcher" in the eyes of the Soviets, and equally in the countries of the world. The only thing that can be compared with the USSR State Security Council is the CIA of the United States. The CIA and the USSR State Security Council had the same functions. In order to complete the hunt for a person, hundreds of repeated attempts can be made until the mission is completed.
As soon as they arrived in Tshwane, the capital of South Africa, they went shopping frantically, and then went to the nightclub, Natalia and Fangba they had to vent hard, they knew that the opponent of this operation was a Chinese agent, it was a battle of life and death, either alive or dead, living was another luck, but dying was a regular result, so before dying, you have to treat yourself well, just like the most beautiful flower at a time, in short, you have to push your life to an extreme.
People like Lyuba have become killing machines, and the two outcomes of living are killing people and being killed. It's not that they don't have fear, but they slowly become numb in one bloodbath after another. The numbness is because the result of being killed will one day fall on one's head. So they all cherish every second of their life in the world, eat the best, wear the best, see the best moonlight, feel the warmest sunshine, they don't regard every day as the last day, but every second as the last second. When you can't kill your opponent and you might be caught by your opponent, you will ruthlessly save the last bullet or bomb for yourself.
Lyuba sat in an American-style jeep, she wore a gray trench coat today, high-heeled boots held her already tall body higher, a black veil of a wide-brimmed lace-trimmed hat covered her delicate face, she deliberately put on makeup, and the lipstick on her lips was painted blood-red. The other four Russian men in the action group, all dressed in crisp designer suits with the alluring smell of French perfume and long black trench coats over their suits, did not appear to have come to kill people, but to attend a feast.
South Africa is located in the southernmost part of the African continent and borders Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Eswatini to the north. It is surrounded by the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean on the east, south and west. Its southwestern tip of the Cape of Good Hope route has historically been one of the busiest sea lanes in the world, known as the "lifeline of the western seas".
In the capital city of Tshwane, the envoy walked out of the doorway of Singh's villa, and the people guarding the door immediately approached when they saw the envoy coming out, naturally forming a human wall.
Lyuba led the other four killers of the action group to calmly get out of the jeep, forming an encircling arc and walking towards the envoy. Facing up, without any dodging, closer, closer again, Bai Qiulu recognized the delicate face of Liu Ba behind the veil, and pulled their guns at the same time as each other, this was a battle of courage to the death. The guns of the five killers formed fire to force the envoy, Bai Qiulu covered the envoy with his body, the hands of the five killers holding the guns were hit by bullets, and the guns of the five killers were knocked away, Bai Qiulu, Zhao Hanbing, Huang Weiguo, Ji Sen, and Wangxi were also shot, in this desperate killing, Bai Qiulu They were ruthless, and when the five killers pulled their knives to find the gun, all the bullets in the gun were shot into the killer's body, for the safety of the envoy, Bai Qiulu and they discussed countermeasures, no matter who the opponent was, they would not be entangled, Attack your opponent as quickly as you can and don't let them fight back. At this time, the police's car arrived, blocked the scene, Bai Qiulu helped the envoy up from the ground, at this moment, the door in front of the envoy was wide open, people thought the battle was over, Bai Qiulu felt a bullet go straight to the center of the envoy's eyebrows, and it was too late for others to rush to the envoy, it turned out that the killing just now was just a prelude to the perfect hunt, Liuba They just died to let everyone relax their vigilance, and this is when the real killing began, Wangxi struggled to push Bai Qiulu and the envoy to the ground, Then he gave the back of his body to the sniper, the second bullet flew and hit the body of Wangxi, the police began to use the submachine gun in their hands to make a meaningless return fire in the direction where the sniper's bullet flew, Bai Qiulu estimated that the sniper may be 1500 meters away from the scene, and when people rushed over, the sniper was long gone.
Bai Qiulu was highly nervous, she only scratched a little skin, and Wangxi was not so lucky, lying in the ambulance and bleeding all the time, looking at Wangxi in a coma, Bai Qiulu was a little annoyed, what else could she use besides using her body as a shield? But in this urgency, what else can you use except your own body? Or what can you do but lay down your life? The powerful force of the sniper rifle tore through the body of Wangxi. Huang Weiguo, Zhao Hanbing, and Ji Sen also had blood on their bodies, and they were still alive compared to the Soviet agents who were killed on the spot. It's a battle to the death and a battle of courage, either you die or I die, it's speed and agility, and a little bit of luck. In order to kill the envoy, Soviet agents came to fight for their lives. So, so the beginning is the decisive battle, the beginning is the end, it is not the Soviet agents who fall, then it is they who fall.
They have thought too much about security schemes, the most important one is that if the bullet is close to the envoy, unless it passes through their body, this is done, but it still misses the sniper, in the kill just now, the long-distance sniper is the organizer and bystander of this kill, she is just waiting for a flaw, this flaw makes the kill perfect, Natalia's only miscalculation is that she did not expect that the Chinese would use her body as a shield, it was this "shield" that shattered her perfect kill plan. Natalia disassembled the sniper rifle into the compartment and repositioned it, aiming her gun at the window of Singh's mansion, waiting for the next chance to kill the envoy. But she had an ominous intuition that this opportunity was disappearing, an intuition that she had never had before, and she believed in it, because it was an instinctive reaction from her body, and the opponent already knew of her existence and was bound to clear her. From the scope she had already seen the reaction of the Chinese as an opponent, and she had not been able to understand why her man, who was regarded as a hero among heroes in the "KGB", died at the hands of Chinese agents, and at this very second, she figured out that, judging by her lightning-fast skills, she had never encountered such a fierce opponent in her mission career.
The ambulance arrived at the hospital, and Wangxi was pushed into the emergency room, and the doctor bandaged the wounds of Huang Weiguo, Zhao Hanbing, and Ji Sen, Huang Weiguo was shot in the left leg, Zhao Hanbing was shot in the right chest, and Ji Sen's left hand was shot, only Bai Qiulu's neck was bruised, which seemed to be the lightest injury, but it was also the closest to death, because, if the bullet was close to the throat, then Bai Qiulu had no chance of being pushed into the emergency room. But in such a decisive battle, it seems that death is honor, wounds are medals, and life is shame. Huang Weiguo looked at Bai Qiulu's uncomfortable expression, understood Bai Qiulu's thoughts, and said: Do you think you are not seriously injured? We are dying to complete the tasks assigned by the state, not for any honors and medals.
Bai Qiulu said: There is always a feeling of stealing life.
Huang Weiguo said: Qiu Lu, we can fight to the death, but it is not the same as to fight to death.
Bai Qiulu said: I will feel a little better if you say this. I guess the KGB snipers are still standing near Dr. Singh's mansion like ghosts, and I'll have to rush there.
Huang Weiguo said: Okay, you hurry up. Without our people by the envoy's side, there is always a fear that something will happen. Who knows what the CIA will do to come out?
On that trip to South Africa, he successfully completed the task of defending the Chinese envoy, and Wangxi once again swore his loyalty to the organization with his body, and Bai Qiulu also fell in love with Wangxi from this trip to South Africa. How could such a person who represents loyalty be an apostate? Bai Qiulu couldn't find a reason, and the organization hadn't found a reason yet, how could a person who used his body as a shield to protect his loyalty be a renegade? It is this man who loves his country far more than he loves himself, far more than he loves his family, how can he be the one who betrays the country he loves so much?
Don't say that Bai Qiulu doesn't believe it, and my father Huang Weiguo doesn't believe it either.
In those days, Bai Qiulu, Zhao Hanbing, Ji Sen, Qi Wangxi and my father Huang Weiguo were all people who lived and died for the country, they worked for the country, lived for the country, and loyalty was their only belief. On that desperate night in the spring of 1983, my father Huang Weiguo didn't dare to think about the loss of contact with Wangxi, because this was not only the thing that made Bai Qiulu collapse, but also the thing that made my father Huang Weiguo collapse, and the organization did not want to believe that Wangxi was the renegade, but the loss of contact with Wangxi was already a fact, in the revolutionary ranks, there have long been such examples of people who were very loyal at the beginning and then disloyal, before the matter is determined, what else can be done except risk control? No one wants to see Lookout West the apostate, but what if? My father, Huang Weiguo, had a feeling that he was going crazy. He is more reluctant than Bai Qiulu to see that Wangxi is the renegade, this is not just that Wangxi has a life-and-death relationship with my father, but in my father's heart, he has always been in love with Bai Qiulu, he can't be Bai Qiulu's lover, but he hopes that Wangxi is the man who has guarded Bai Qiulu all his life, if Wangxi is characterized as an apostate, it will be a disaster for Bai Qiulu. On that desperate night, my father, Huang Weiguo, was suffering greatly in both his soul and body. Where is the "backup system"? How he wished that on this night the Lookout suddenly appeared, and then everything would go back to the way it was. He didn't even know that the risk was expanding by second, but he understood what would happen if the "backup system" could not be found, and yes, from the dark night in Manhattan to the arrest of Chinese scientists, if the "backup system" could not be found and turned on in time, then the damage caused by the system risk would be immeasurable.
My father, Huang Weiguo, looked up like a madman and said, "What is the "drought dam"? What is "What is a Drought Dam"? Someone's coming? Someone doesn't? Find me a professor of ethnolinguistics at Peking University? In the silence of the night, the mad and mournful voice of my father, Huang Weiguo, was like lightning tearing through the sky.
