Chapter III: *******
Bang!
A gust of wind slammed open the door of the wing.
The chill instantly poured into the room, and Li Tongsheng, who was lying on the kang, shivered, and slowly opened his eyes.
Where is this?
He immediately sat up and looked around warily.
Maybe it was because the movement was too violent, and the wound was pulled, and the severe pain made people can't help but cry softly.
However, he quickly calmed down and looked around.
It was an ordinary room, and on the other side of the kang was a basin of water, and next to the basin was a very delicate-looking bayonet. Li Tongsheng recognized the bayonet at a glance...... M1921 bayonet, a new bayonet that the US military completed testing only in 1921.
This kind of knife has not been officially launched so far.
Cause? Quite simply, it is much shorter than the previous standard bayonets in Europe and the United States, only 21 centimeters in length. This is much shorter than a conventional bayonet, so the US military has not yet made up its mind whether to mass-produce and equip it with a standard bayonet. It is for this reason that the M1921 bayonet is very rare, and in the United States, most of them are privately ordered and collected by enthusiasts.
The bayonet in front of him is no stranger to Li Tongsheng.
Two years ago, when he was on a mission in Shanghai, he did a favor to an American named Marvin. Later, that Marven gave him a bayonet, which was the bayonet that Li Tongsheng saw in front of him.
According to Marvin, the knife is a treasure trove produced by the American company Union and is extremely valuable.
Later, Li Tongsheng met Su Wenxing when he was passing through Gongxian County, so he gave this M1921 to Su Wenxing.
This is the residence of my brother-in-law?
Li Tongsheng reacted instantly, and his heart suddenly burst into ecstasy.
He glanced down at the bandage on his body, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, struggled to get down from the kang to the ground, and slowly stood up.
At the head of the bed, there is a cotton coat.
He reached out and pulled it over him, draped it over his body, and walked out of the room instead.
"Brother-in-law?"
Li Tongsheng shouted at the door of the room, and then heard a soft click.
The voice, which he was no stranger to, was the sound of a firearm. Looking up, he saw that the door of the main hall was open, and Su Wenxing was half-squatting behind the threshold, holding a rifle aimed at him, which frightened Li Tongsheng and suddenly exploded.
"Brother-in-law, it's me, Xiaosheng."
"Are you awake? Come here! ”
The tone was very cold, but Li Tongsheng felt very warm.
He wrapped his cotton clothes tightly and walked to the door of the main hall with patience. At this time, Su Wenxing had already put down his rifle and stood up. The two of them are across the threshold, you look at me, I look at you. Suddenly, Li Tongsheng felt that his nose was a little sour, his eyes were red, he stepped forward and crossed the threshold, and hugged Su Wenxing.
"Brother-in-law, long time no see."
The last time he was in a hurry, he didn't pay attention.
And this time, although the light in the hall was dark, Li Tongsheng saw it clearly.
Compared with the brother-in-law in his memory, Su Wenxing now looks a lot older, and even has a few gray hairs on his temples. However, my brother-in-law is still so handsome, even if he is dressed in a Taoist costume, it is difficult to hide that heroic spirit. At the same time, it seems to have a more indifferent temperament, standing there with a graceful demeanor.
Su Wenxing was taken aback by Li Tongsheng's sudden action, but he was immediately relieved.
For Su Wenxing, Li Tongsheng is his last relative in this world; So for Li Tongsheng, he Su Wenxing is also his closest person. With a gun in one hand, he patted him on the back with the other.
"Xiaosheng, do you feel better?"
"Ah, brother-in-law, I'm much better."
"What the hell is going on? So embarrassed? ”
Su Wenxing squatted down and sorted out the guns in the box.
Li Tongsheng also squatted down, first glanced at the rifle in Su Wenxing's hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up and said: "Legendary rifle, M1903?" Brother-in-law, this is a good gun, where did you get it? ”
The rifle in Su Wenxing's hand is known as M1903, also known as the Springfield rifle.
At first glance, I thought it was made in Japan. But in reality, this is a real American ......
Li Tongsheng was also born in the army and is very fond of firearms.
It's a pity that the national strength is weak and the weapon manufacturing capacity is very low, so most of Li Tongsheng's collection is foreign goods.
The M1903MK1 type, which was transformed by Springfield Company in the seventh year of the Republic of China, used the Bendson bomb feeding device. After I quit the party, I helped my master with things, and it was a gift from my master.
M1903 and M1911 are legendary suits! Hehe, I've kept it, and I'll take care of it if it's okay. ”
M1911, the pistol in the box.
Li Tongsheng knew that this pistol was a gift from his sister on his brother-in-law's birthday.
The brother-in-law of the year was a gun addict and a famous gun addict. If it hadn't happened to that accident, my brother-in-law might have been able to be a general now. Well, with his qualifications and military merits, it is more than enough to be a general.
"Xiaosheng, what the hell is going on, you haven't told me yet."
Su Wenxing put the rifle beside him, then picked up a magazine from the box and loaded the bullets into it one by one. Li Tongsheng came back to his senses, picked up a magazine, and began to load the bullets.
"Brother-in-law, don't mention it, I almost planted it this time."
"You can see that it's Japanese?"
"Hmm!"
Li Tongsheng was very fast, loaded a magazine, and placed it next to the pistol.
"This time I was ordered to prepare to go to Qi County to pick up people, because of the special nature of the mission, so I can't make a big show. Originally, I planned to bring two subordinates, but I didn't feel safe, so I thought of my brother-in-law. I want to ask my brother-in-law to go to Qi County with me, after so many years of nesting here, it's time to go out and breathe. ”
Su Wenxing took a beating, but he didn't open his mouth to interrupt Li Tongsheng, but the speed of loading the bullet was much faster.
"Originally, I arranged to get on the bus from Xi'an, get off in Zhengzhou, and then come over to visit my brother-in-law...... But I didn't expect that as soon as I crossed Sanmenxia, I found that I was being followed. I didn't feel right, so I got out of the car in Luoyang and prepared to change my itinerary. Unexpectedly, in Yanshi, we were attacked by the Japanese. Two of my subordinates died one after another to cover me, and I fled to Zhengzhou alone.
After I arrived in Zhengzhou, I contacted the people at Zhengzhou Station, and the result was ......"
Li Tongsheng didn't continue, but let out a sigh.
Su Wenxing filled the last magazine, then picked up the pistol and loaded the magazine.
"Xiaosheng, your communication investigation team, isn't it ......?"
"Hmm!"
Li Tongsheng didn't wait for Su Wenxing to finish speaking, so he nodded in agreement.
Actually, it's not hard to guess. My brother-in-law also served in the party-state, and he knows very well what is wrong with this.
"And what are you going to do next?"
"Brother-in-law, Nanjing is now in a mess, and judging from the reaction of Zhengzhou Station, I am afraid that there is a problem with the headquarters. I originally thought that this task would be easy, but now it seems that it will not be easy.
Brother-in-law, I want to ask you to help me. ”
Su Wenxing raised his head and looked at Li Tongsheng, his eyes shining.
"Xiaosheng, after your sister's accident back then, I swore that I would never do anything for the party-state again."
"I know."
Li Tongsheng sat on the ground, sighed softly and said, "Brother-in-law, I know that you hate the party-state and some people. To be honest, I hate it too! When you quit the party, I also thought about leaving with you...... But in the end, I stayed. Brother-in-law, do you know what the reason is? ”
"Huh?"
"The luckiest thing in my life is to meet you and my sister.
I remember when I first started to read and write, I learned my name first, and then I learned the words written by my sister: *******, *******. Brother-in-law, it's the painting you hung in the study, I remember, you taught me to write it by hand, and my sister explained it to me word by word. ”
Su Wenxing's face changed slightly.
"I didn't stay here for the sake of glory and wealth.
If I want to seek glory and wealth, staying in the army is much more promising than staying in the communications investigation team. However, I want to do things well, and only in this way can I live up to the words that my sister and you taught me.
In the past two years, the party-state has indeed changed and become more and more ......
Sometimes I feel sorry for my conscience for what I do. Catch **, clear the party...... There were several times when I wanted to quit. But in the end, I stayed. Because, the party-state needs someone to do things in a down-to-earth manner, instead of intrigue. I just want to do something for this country. ”
Li Tongsheng's eyes flashed with tears.
Su Wenxing looked at him quietly and didn't say a word.
After a long time, he said softly: "Xiaosheng, you have really grown up, what you just said is so good!" ”
"Brother-in-law."
Li Tongsheng showed a blank expression, scratched his head and smiled.
"Really, I'm not perfunctory to you, my brother-in-law can't compare to you. If your sister is still alive, you will be very happy to have a brother like you. I also know that my brother-in-law has bothered you all these years. ”
"Brother-in-law, don't say that."
Li Tongsheng blushed, waved his hand again and again, and his eyes became bright.
"What about going to Qi County......"
"I'll help you!"
Su Wenxing smiled and stuffed the pistol into Li Tongsheng's hand.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing here?"
Li Tongsheng caught the pistol and looked at Su Wenxing suspiciously.
The smile on Su Wenxing's face gradually faded, he reached out and grabbed two rifle bullets and put them in his pocket, and then stood up suddenly.
"Brother-in-law?"
"I promise to accompany you to Qi County, but you have to send off the guests outside first."
Li Tongsheng's face changed, and he struggled to get up from the ground, and his heart was pounding randomly, revealing a nervous expression.
He fought his way out of Zhengzhou and found his brother-in-law.
But this does not mean that he is safe, on the contrary, those people are likely to chase after him. In this way, it is equivalent to dragging my brother-in-law into a dangerous whirlpool. Li Tongsheng stretched out his hand and pulled the bolt of the gun, and said softly: "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry." ”
"You're my brother, what do you say I'm sorry?"
"Brother-in-law, listen to me, those Japanese are not simple, and there are many masters.
I'm injured now, and I'm already a drag on you. Hurry up and get out of here, I'll cover you...... If I really have three long and two short, please help me complete the task. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the No. 1 room of Tianzi in Qi County Tongfu Hotel will live in a person named Hai Huona. You send her to Nanjing. ”
"That's a lot of nonsense."
Su Wenxing interrupted Li Tongsheng's words sharply, stepped out of the threshold with one foot, pulled the bolt, and immediately raised the rifle in his hand and pulled the trigger. Crack, the crisp sound of gunfire echoed over the old temple, and a black shadow popped down from the spear head of the gable, fell into the snow, and there was no more movement......
"If I want to go together and leave you behind, how will I go to see your sister in the future?"
Before the words fell, Su Wenxing had already dodged behind the guardrail outside the main hall, squatted down, and raised his gun.
