Besides, Lin Demeng, Li Liang, Xu Hongyu and his entourage came to Longcheng Power Plant. As soon as they entered the factory, Lin Demeng, Li Liang, and Xu Hongyu ordered the soldiers to remove the explosives from the car and carry them to the factory. When they were about to approach the factory, many workers armed with iron rods, shovels, hammers and other tools rushed out of the workshop. Standing at the front, the two leaders were Lao Chen and Wang Xiaodong, the person in charge of Chengnan District. When I heard the news that the Kuomintang soldiers were coming to bomb the factory, more and more people came up from all directions.

"Acquaintances, get out of the way of Lao Tzu! Otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind! Xu Hongyu, the commander of the garrison company, raised a pistol and threatened.

"The factory is our lifeblood!" "Don't destroy the factory!" The workers roared.

"The brothers are also acting on the orders of Shangfeng, and we can't help it, please cooperate with you." Lindman said.

"With what? Without the factory, you care about the food of so many of us? Wang Xiaodong asked rhetorically.

"This Lao Tzu doesn't care, Lao Tzu only knows how to do things according to Shangfeng's orders, whether you have food or not, we don't care!" Xu Hongyu played a trick.

"Unless you kill all of us, don't even think about stepping into the factory!" Wang Xiaodong said.

"Do you think Lao Tzu wouldn't dare? Brethren! Load all the guns! The soldiers put down the explosives in their hands, removed their guns from their backs, loaded them, and pointed them at the workers who were in front of them. The two sides tensed their nerves and stalemate. Xu Hongyu took the gun, walked up to Wang Xiaodong, and put the gun against Wang Xiaodong's jaw. said fiercely: "Tell your people to get out of the way, or Lao Tzu will kill you with one shot!" As he spoke, he loaded his gun.

Lao Chen saw that the enemy was going to make a move. Hurriedly said: "This chief, there is something to discuss." Bring the box up! Several workers brought up two boxes from behind and opened the lids. Immediately, the white silver dollars were displayed in front of people's eyes, so that the eyes of the Kuomintang soldiers were straightened, and the muzzles of their guns drooped.

"Brethren! As long as we don't blow up our factories, these money. It's all yours. The soldiers looked at each other and were very moved. Xu Hongyu also hesitated when he saw so much money.

"Company Commander Xu! Don't listen to him! The order of the peak cannot be disobeyed. The power plant must be fried! Seeing Xu Hongyu's hesitation, Lin Demeng became anxious and hurriedly shouted. Xu Hongyu heard Lin Demeng say this, but there was no way. I had to cry out, "Brothers! Lift the gun up. If they don't give way, they shoot Lao Tzu. "Lao Chen saw that this trick didn't work, the enemy wanted to shoot, and many worker brothers would die. At the critical moment, he took advantage of Xu Hongyu's unpreparedness, snatched the gun from Xu Hongyu's hand, and suddenly pressed against Xu Hongyu's head, shouting: "Call your people quickly." Put the gun down! ”

"Don't, don't...... Don't shoot! There's something to say, it's good to say. Brethren! Handful...... Put the gun down. Xu Hongyu felt the muzzle of the gun cold. It's terrifying!

"Put the gun down!" The gun in Lin Demeng's hand had already reached Lao Chen's head.

"You'd better put your gun down! Otherwise, I want your life! Li Liang, who had been silent beside Lin Demeng, had also put the gun on Lin Demeng's head.

"Deputy Section Chief Li, you are mistaken! The top of your gun is in the wrong place. Lin Demeng was surprised.

"That's right! The top is you! Put the gun down! ”

"Could it be that you are ...... 'lily'?" Lin Demeng finally came to his senses, Li Liang may be the Communist spy "Lily".

"You're right, I'm the Communist Party, but I'm not a 'lily', I'm a 'yellow finch'." Li Liang not only told Lin Demeng about it, but also told Lao Chen his identity. Wei Yan once said that there was a comrade with the inner code name "Yellow Sparrow", it turned out to be him, and when he rescued Ding Yonglian and Bai Yesheng last time, he was the internal response.

Seeing this, the workers consciously and slowly surrounded it, forming a large encirclement to prevent the enemy from escaping.

"Don't come here! Come on again, we're going to shoot! The soldiers looked at the crowd slowly surrounding, very nervous, and there was a possibility of misfire at any time. At this time, dense gunfire was faintly heard in the direction of the northern part of the city, and it was getting closer and closer.

"Did you hear that? That's not the sound of firecrackers, it's the sound of gunfire, the liberation army has entered the city! You're almost finished, what are you going to blow up? Run for your life! Wang Xiaodong shouted. When the workers heard this, they became more energetic and surrounded more tightly, for fear that the enemy would run away. The soldiers were even more panicked, and the hands with guns began to float, and the six gods looked at their company commander Xu Hongyu without a master. And Xu Hongyu couldn't move at this time.

Lin Demeng saw that the communist army had already entered the city, and if he didn't want to do anything and blow up the factory, he was afraid that it would be too late, so he decided to make a desperate bet. Lin Demeng shouted: "Since the People's Liberation Army is about to arrive, everyone might as well put down their guns and have something to discuss." After speaking, he first put down the gun, Li Liang and Lao Chen thought that the enemy wanted to negotiate conditions, so they also put down the gun. At the moment when Li Liang and Lao Chen put down the gun, Lin Demeng suddenly raised the muzzle of the gun, and a shot of "Bah" hit Lao Chen's left rib in the chest, and before Lao Chen fell, Lin Demeng quickly turned and aimed the muzzle at Li Liang, and before he could shoot, the gun in Li Liang's hand rang out, and the bullet went directly into Lin Demeng's chest.

"Okay, you Li ...... Plum...... Good. A stream of blood spurted out of his mouth and he fell to the ground and died.

"Old Chen......" Wang Xiaodong hugged Lao Chen, who was about to fall to the ground, and put him in his arms.

"Don't come, all of you! We have guns in our hands, and explosives, and we die together! Xu Hongyu and his soldiers, holding guns in their hands, swayed from side to side, their nerves were already tense to the extreme. The enemy has guns and explosives in their hands, which can endanger the lives of the workers at any time. Seeing this scene, Li Liang first put the gun in the holster, and then approached Xu Hongyu and said, "Company Commander Xu, brothers of the national army! You are listening to the gunshots getting closer and closer, what are you looking at on the fire tower over there? It's a five-star red flag. Xu Hongyu and those soldiers looked at the Wanghuo Tower, and sure enough, there was a five-star red flag fluttering there, "Where there is a five-star red flag, it means that it has been liberated by the People's Liberation Army." I said, Company Commander Xu! If you don't leave, I'm afraid you'll be taken prisoner. Why don't you take the money. Run for your life! ”

"Good! Listen to you, Section Chief Li! You tell them not to embarrass us, let's go!" Xu Hongyu saw that the People's Liberation Army was about to arrive. If you don't leave, it's too late, now, surrounded by workers, I'm afraid it's hard to get out, I didn't expect Li Liang's words to be in the middle of it, I can't ask for it!

"Comrades workers! Please give them a way, our purpose is to defend the factory. "The workers made way for an exit.

"Brothers! Hurry up and get the money and leave! Xu Hongyu took the lead and filled the two pockets of his clothes with silver dollars. The soldiers in the back followed and stuffed their pockets with silver dollars. Then, Xu Hongyu took his men and threw down explosives and cars. Hurriedly fled to the south.

"Lao Chen! ...... wake up," Wang Xiaodong hugged Lao Chen and called sadly. Li Liang squatted down to Lao Chen's side and held his hand, and called softly: "Lao Chen, Lao Chen......" Then. said to Wang Xiaodong: "Let's hurry up and use the car." Send Lao Chen to the hospital! Saying that, with the help of the workers around them, the two were preparing to carry Lao Chen to the hospital. Lao Chen suddenly coughed violently a few times, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Is the factory alright?" Lao Chen asked with difficulty.

"The factory is fine." Wang Xiaodong replied in a choked voice.

"It's okay! What about those Kuomintang soldiers? ”

"I took the money and ran away, and no workers were hurt." Lao Chen listened, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"I'll drive you to the hospital, Lao Chen!" Li Liang asked with concern

"No need. Comrade Huang Que, I can't do it anymore. It's a pity. I can't be with you anymore for liberation. ”

"Yes, you can, I don't believe you look at the distance, what is on the fire?" Li Liang's tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes.

"Help me sit up, I want to see the five-star red flag!" Lao Chen used his last strength to struggle to sit up, Li Liang and Wang Xiaodong helped Lao Chen sit up, one left and one right.

Li Liang pointed in the direction of the Wanghuo Tower, looked at Lao Chen, and said excitedly: "Look! Isn't that our five-star red flag? Following the direction of Li Liang's finger, Lao Chen finally saw the long-dreamed five-star red flag, flying high in the sky above Dragon City. Yes! That's our five-star red flag, you see how happy she is! Wang Xiaodong said: "Lao Chen, did you hear that? The gunfire is getting closer and closer, and the liberation army is about to appear in front of us, and we are finally victorious! ”

Lao Chen heard it, and he saw it too, and his face was full of a smile of victory. His eyes began to blur, his consciousness began to blur, he was sleepy and tired, he wanted to rest and rest, to see his five-star red flag flying forever in his dreams, to listen to the never-ending charge of the People's Liberation Army, he was going to see Ding Yonglian and tell him that he Lao Chen had finally seen the liberation, and when the liberation came, he wanted to celebrate with Comrade Ding Yonglian.

"Lao Chen......" Li Liang cried, Wang Xiaodong cried, and the workers cried, but the factory defended by Lao Chen laughed, they were saved from the destruction of the enemy, and from now on they were a brand-new Dragon City, shining and hot!

The gunfire in the street gradually subsided. The vanguard of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) took control of the main departments and important facilities of the puppet government. At all major street intersections and sections in the urban area, there are soldiers with the words "Chinese People's Liberation Army" printed on their chests and people wearing red armbands on their arms to maintain order. The entire urban area has gradually returned to its former calm.

Two days later, the main forces of the People's Liberation Army entered Longcheng. Propaganda slogans welcoming the People's Liberation Army and celebrating the victory were posted at all intersections and conspicuous positions, and one of the slogans was particularly eye-catching. The slogan reads: "Brother Peace, I'm back!" "It reflects the strong desire of the people of Longcheng to look forward to peace, love peace, and stay away from war. Party organizations at all levels in Longcheng also organized 54 propaganda teams, 18 service stations, and 8 tea stations to warmly welcome the people's soldiers who entered the city. The streets and alleys of the city are lit up with lights, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere.

The waist drum corps wore festive costumes and danced to their heart's content; The reception work of the service station is busy and happy; The tea station is to serve tea and deliver water, and it is overwhelming.

He stepped back and continued: "I would like to express my high respect and deep condolences to the martyrs who have made great sacrifices for the liberation of Dragon City!
