Chapter 2: Shootout along the street

Although no one in the park was in full swing with foreigners who found out what was happening at the door, but there were people walking on the Huangpu Road, Xiao Zhenlei was discovered after killing two British soldiers guarding the door in a row with lightning speed, but the distance was a little far, and this matter was related to foreigners, the witnesses were still stunned, Xiao Zhenlei pulled Ma Xiaoshuang and ran away.

At this critical moment, the whistle of the patrol sounded, which was a measure for the patrolmen to notify their companions when they found the police situation while patrolling the streets, in order to notify the nearby companions to come for reinforcements in time.

Hearing this whistle, Ma Xiaoshuang was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground with a pop, Xiao Zhenlei saw it, hurriedly turned around and pulled it up, and the two continued to run forward, but they didn't want to be dozens of meters ahead of them from the fence in the park at this time, and the two patrols just blocked their way.

"Stop, stand still!" The front was led by a probe in a black dog skin uniform, seeing Xiao Zhenlei and Ma Xiaoshuang looking panicked, the two of them were carrying guns on their backs, and there was a police whistle from their colleagues behind them, so they knew that the two of them were the ones to be arrested, and immediately shouted, and took out a revolver from their waists and aimed at Xiao Zhenlei and the others.

Detective is the criminal investigation police, commonly known as detective, the leader of the detective in the concession, Huang Jingrong's identity in the French Concession is detective, Huang Jingrong is a plainclothes detective, but the detective in front is wearing a uniform, and he is a foreigner, Xiao Zhenlei's heart sank, and he didn't want to immediately pull Ma Xiaoshuang to hide behind the stone pier of the park wall.

"Come out! If I don't come out, I'm going to shoot! The detective slowly approached the stone pier where Xiao Zhenlei and the others were hiding with a revolver in both hands.

Xiao Zhenlei's heart sank at this time, but he didn't have the slightest regret about what he did just now, since the matter has been done, it is useless to regret it, and now the top priority is to escape, there are patrols in pursuit behind, and there are patrols in front of him blocking the road, if you want to escape, the only way to kill the two patrols in front of you is to kill the two patrols in front.

But the probe had a revolver in his hand, Xiao Zhenlei looked at Ma Xiaoshuang, who was trembling beside him, and said in an apologetic tone: "Xiaoshuang, it was my brother who killed two British soldiers on impulse, which affected you, but Xiaoshuang, don't worry, brother will help you escape even if he dies!" ”

Although Ma Xiaoshuang has been in Shanghai with Xiao Zhenlei for a while, he is a country boy after all, where has he experienced this kind of formation? For a while, he was frightened and a little masterless, at this time his face was already pale, beads of sweat kept falling from his forehead, and he stammered: "Brother Zhen, Brother Zhenlei, this is a big trouble, we won't be arrested and killed by foreigners, right?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei saw that Ma Xiaoshuang was frightened, and hurriedly comforted: "Xiaoshuang, I believe that brother, brother will take you out, but you must cheer up, you can't be afraid anymore, come, listen to brother, take a deep breath, yes, take a deep breath, inhale - exhale, okay, don't be afraid!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei took off a long gun on his back, and found that this was a Lee-Enfield magazine-type short rifle, and he didn't pay attention to it when he took these two guns away just now, and now he was about to use the gun only to find out that it was this gun type, the magazine was below, the double-row magazine, the magazine capacity was five bullets, the double-row magazine was ten rounds, 7.7 mm caliber, the gun weighed about 8.8 pounds, the total length was 1130 mm, the barrel was 640 mm long, the muzzle velocity of the bullet was 738 meters per second, and the maximum firing range was 1,000 yards.

This Lee-Enfield Magazine Short Rifle uses a rotating pull-back bolt invented by James Paris Lee and a box-shaped detachable magazine (since then, many Enfield manual rifles in the British Army have been improved by this system), and the rear end is locked with a rotating pull-back bolt for faster reloading; Install a fixed box-type double-row capacity 10-round magazine loading, although the magazine is detachable, it is only convenient for maintenance or damage replacement, the magazine is not disassembled in use, and the bullet is filled through the top of the receiver (loading port), which improves the continuous firepower, and is one of the fastest rotary pull-back bolt rifles in actual combat, and has the advantages of reliability, short bolt stroke and convenient operation.

Xiao Zhenlei pulled the bolt, and soon became proficient, through the bullet hole, you can see that the magazine of this Lee-Enfield magazine-style short rifle is full of ten bullets, he pushed the bolt forward to load the bullet, patted the body of the gun and said: "Man, it depends on you whether you can escape today, Xiaoshuang, you hide well, wait for the fight, the gun doesn't have eyes, do you understand?" ”

When Ma Xiaoshuang saw Xiao Zhenlei's posture of wanting to fight with the patrol of the concession, he was immediately frightened, and said with a sad face: "Brother Zhenlei, you really want to fight, there are only two of us, and the patrols must be coming from all directions to ......."

Xiao Zhenlei shouted in a low voice: "Less nonsense, things have come to this point, you can only forcibly kill out, you hide first and don't move, if I let you run, you will run, you know?" Otherwise, we'll both die here!" ”

"Okay, okay!" At the moment of life and death, Ma Xiaoshuang can only pin his hopes on Xiao Zhenlei, and it is Xiao Zhenlei's composure and strength that keeps him from being paralyzed.

The two hid behind the stone pier, unable to see where the probe in front of him had gone, Xiao Zhenlei thought about how to kill the probe with the gun, looked down and saw that there was a small stone under his feet, and hurriedly said to Ma Xiaoshuang: "Xiaoshuang, there is a stone under my feet, you pick it up and throw it forward, quickly!" ”

Ma Xiaoshuang trembled when he heard this, squatted down and picked up the stone, then got up and threw it forward, and was holding a gun to the stone pier to see a black thing smashed towards him, subconsciously closed his eyes and turned his head to dodge, at this moment, Xiao Zhenlei suddenly dodged out and aimed at the probe is a shot.

"Bang!" The crisp gunfire resounded throughout the Huangpu Beach, overshadowing the dance music in the park next to it, and the foreigners who were spending time in the park were frightened by the sudden gunshots, and the whole scene was completely chaotic.

After the gunshot, the probe who took the gun was shot in the chest and fell to the ground on his back, Xiao Zhenlei immediately pulled the bolt to reload, the single-shot manual rifle is not good, the loading needs to be manual, and it cannot be fired continuously, but this gun is already a very advanced rifle in this era, and it is one of the fastest rifles in this era in terms of rate of fire.

"Bang!" After loading, Xiao Zhenlei did not stop doing anything, and fired another shot to kill the Indian patrol who followed behind the probe and had time to dodge.

The patrol blocking the road in front was cleared, and Xiao Zhenlei immediately said to Ma Xiaoshuang: "Xiaoshuang, run, keep running forward, I'll follow behind!" ”

"Oh, good!" Ma Xiaoshuang didn't care about being polite, and ran away, but because of the fright just now, his legs were a little weak, and he almost fell to the ground after running a few steps, and Xiao Zhenlei, who came up from behind, helped him not to fall.

The two ran for dozens of meters, and there was a gunshot behind them, and the bullets whizzed in a straight line in Xiao Zhenlei's ears, Xiao Zhenlei looked back, and it turned out to be a team of British soldiers in charge of security in the park rushing out, followed by a few Indian Asan-patrols who only held batons.

Xiao Zhenlei felt a pang in his heart, knowing that he was only afraid that he would not be good tonight, and if he wanted to escape from here, he would have to fight with a team of more than a dozen British soldiers behind, he immediately leaned sideways against the wall, picked up his rifle and fired a shot at the British soldier who was chasing at the front, and then quickly unloaded his shell.

Seeing that the first soldier was shot, several British soldiers behind him were so frightened that they immediately lay on the ground, while others hid behind the stone piers of the wall, and the British soldiers began to shoot back, and the bullets kept beckoning to Xiao Zhenlei's hiding place.

When the firepower was a little weaker, Xiao Zhenlei immediately dodged out and fired a shot at a British soldier lying on the ground, this shot directly exploded the head of the British soldier, the red and white can be seen clearly in the light of the street lamp at night, and the other British soldiers hurriedly hid, and the one lying on the ground ran directly to the stone pier by the wall to hide.

"Bang!" A British soldier couldn't help but show his head, but he was killed by Xiao Zhenlei with a shot, which really scared the remaining ten or so British soldiers stupidly several times in a row.

I don't know how long it took, when a British soldier carefully stuck out his head to observe the situation, Xiao Zhenlei was already missing in front of him.

At this time, Xiao Zhenlei had already used a foreign bicycle snatched on the road to carry Ma Xiaoshuang through the north city wall of Shanghai County and entered the French Bund Road in the French Concession.

Xiao Zhenlei thought about such a big thing in the British Concession tonight, the Concession Ministry of Industry Bureau will definitely make a fuss, maybe now the patrol rooms in the Concession have received a call, and the overnight pursuit of the murderer must have become the top priority of the Concession authorities, openly attacking and killing British soldiers in the Concession, and brazenly fighting with the British Army and the patrol, which is simply a provocation to the Concession authorities and the British Empire, which is absolutely intolerable to the Concession authorities, so the bicycle under him must be dealt with, and even the two rifles that were snatched by hand must be hidden. Once someone finds out, they will face endless trouble.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhenlei pedaled hard under his feet, and the bicycle accelerated to the south, and now the gates of Shanghai County have been closed during this time period, and it is impossible to enter the city, so he can only go to the south of Nanshi to find a place to spend the night.

The two rode bicycles and soon went around the moat of the east city wall to Nanshi, Xiao Zhenlei pushed the bicycle into the moat, sank to the bottom of the water to prevent being found, buried two rifles and some rifle bullets on the edge of the moat, and entered Nanshi with Ma Xiaoshuang.

Nanshi is the material transfer center of Shanghai county, all the goods and materials that want to enter Shanghai county or come out of Shanghai county must first pass through Nanshi and then transfer out, the south railway station is here, in addition to trains and carriages, there is a shipping terminal in the south of Lujiabang.

The two walked around Nanshi for a while, Xiao Zhenlei took Ma Xiaoshuang to find a Ningbo inn to stay, and after entering the store, Xiao Zhenlei said to the shopkeeper standing in the counter: "Shopkeeper, is there still a room?" Open one for our buddies! ”

The shopkeeper with the landlord's old wealth hat on his head saw that someone wanted to stay in the hotel, and his face immediately piled up a professional smile: "Yes, yes, two little brothers come with me!" ”
