There are many shoe shiners in Nanjing and Shanghai, who carry a shoe shine box on their backs to make a living. Tang Cheng has also had the experience of shining shoes outside many times, but this is the first time he has encountered someone who can get the shoe polish into the socks of customers. I was a shoe shiner, and more than once. If Tang Cheng was just an ordinary young man, he might not pay too much attention to such trivial matters, but Tang Cheng is not an ordinary person, or his profession is not ordinary.
Being engaged in an extraordinary profession means having a keener awareness than ordinary people, especially Tang Cheng who has a heaven-defying system. Tang Cheng, who was already suspicious, secretly activated the system skill trigger. When the middle-aged shoe polisher in front of him applied shoe polish to his socks again, he naturally reached out and pushed him. A handful.
"I asked you to watch and see if I can still wear these socks?" The fingertips of his right hand just touched the opponent's arm. Tang Cheng was slightly stunned, and then stood up. While yelling at the middle-aged shoe shiner, he took out a banknote from his pocket and threw it on the ground, then walked away quickly with an angry look on his face. It was so unexpected that I just wandered here and met someone from the Chongqing underground party. Tangcheng turned around and left, trying hard to see clearly what the person was thinking, and blended into the crowd without looking back. gone.
After walking along the street and turning the corner in front, the feeling of being watched all the time disappeared. Tang Cheng, who was walking slowly, speeded up and dived into an alley on the side of the street. A few minutes later, Tang Cheng came out of the alley and seemed to have changed his clothes. Even his face was disguised. He looked like the same person as before. After changing his clothes, Tang Cheng walked back the way he came. But just after he crossed the street, he stopped, and the feeling of being spied on came back to him.
Tang Cheng, who realized that someone was secretly observing him, did not stop where he was. Instead, he moved and followed a middle-aged clingy man. The old god was leisurely watching the chess game on the street with the others. But while others were concentrating on the fierce battle between the chess players, Tang Cheng was paying attention to the movements around him, especially those pedestrians who looked suspicious. As time passed, Tang Cheng's heart gradually filled with anger because he had never found the guy who was secretly observing him before.
Something seemed wrong. Just when Tang Cheng suddenly felt that the surrounding atmosphere was not quite right, he suddenly saw a group of people suddenly pouring out of the street opposite. Tang Cheng subconsciously unbuttoned his suit. If things went bad, it would be very convenient for him to take out the gun from the holster under his arm. The group of people, who were strong and light-footed, quickly passed the location of Tang Cheng. They only heard a burst of exclamations and shouts. Tang Cheng, who was stunned, and others, heard the sound of being ordered to arrest someone.
Ordered to arrest someone! There are many meanings in this. The police can be ordered to arrest people, and the army can also be ordered to arrest people. However, in Tangcheng's eyes, this group of people neither looks like the police nor the army. The mystery was soon revealed. Along with several gunshots, Tang Cheng watched from a distance as a shop in the middle of the street was surrounded by a group of people. Soon someone was dragged out of the shop, and then there were shouts of arrest. The cheers of being caught were suppressed.
"It's because they are arresting underground gangsters!" The idlers around Tangcheng who were watching the chess game started talking, and a middle-aged man with a mustache said with certainty. "One of the people who passed by just now is one I know. I heard that he works in the party affairs... investigation department, and he directly obeys the orders from Nanjing. He is very powerful." The words of the middle-aged man with a mustache were confirmed. Tang Cheng's guess.
Thinking back to the position of the shoe shiner before, Tang Cheng, who was mixed in the crowd, suddenly realized that the group of people who passed by just now should be the operatives of the Central Unification Committee, and the stronghold of the Chongqing underground party might be the shop surrounded by them. So, the people they dragged out of the store at this moment may be members of the Chongqing underground party. At this moment, Tangcheng no longer dared to think about it. The Central Government mobilized troops in such a way, and the action must have been carefully planned. The Chongqing underground party was obviously caught off guard.
Do you want to do something yourself? Tang Cheng, who was mixed in the crowd, was a little confused. In his equipment bag was a Mauser rifle and a Mauser submachine pistol, as well as a handgun and more than a hundred rounds of ammunition. If he rashly intervenes in this matter, it may be impossible to completely wipe out these operatives of the Central Unification, but it is somewhat possible to stir up the situation and fish in troubled waters. However, Tangcheng does not know whether those in the underground party can seize this opportunity to escape.
Tang Cheng has always been someone who dares to speak and act. Since he has already thought this in his heart, he will immediately implement it in action. Glancing around, he saw that everyone's attention was focused on the commotion in the middle of the street. Tang Cheng then slowly withdrew from the crowd, then rushed forward, stepped on a section of the street wall, and climbed up to the roof of a shop. Tang Cheng moved very quickly, but he was still seen. When the exclamation started, Tang Cheng was already stepping on the tiles on the back of the roof, ducking down and moving quickly towards the middle of the street.
Sun Liang, who was shot in the left shoulder, was lying on his back on the street at the moment. Beside him, there were several action members of the Central Government standing around. In their eyes, Sun Liang was already a big piece of fat on the chopping block. , we can only let them chop and chop at will. Zhou Chu, the head of the Zhongtong Chongqing Work Station, was not at the scene. The person directing the operation was Zhou Chu's trusted general Shen Xinhe. It was Shen Xinhe who shot and wounded Sun Liang just now.
There were still gunshots rang out in the middle of the street, but compared to just now, the gunshots now were much sparser. Sun Liang, who felt that there was no hope of escape, also screamed and tried to get his companions who were shooting and fighting him to leave. But he didn't know that the Central Government had made careful arrangements. The underground party members who appeared in this street today, I'm afraid no one can escape. "There's someone on the roof opposite!" The shouting at the corner of the street was finally noticed by a member of the Central Unification Operations team.
"Bah bang bang... bang bang bang..." After all, his reminder was a little slow. Tang Cheng, who had already stepped on the roof tiles and moved to the middle of the street, had already stretched out the barrel of the Mauser submachine pistol according to the roof ridge, and added The Mauser pistol installed in the wooden gun case was shot by Tangcheng at the rate of fire of an automatic rifle. Tang Cheng's purpose was to rescue the two underground gang members who were dragged out of the store by Zhongtong, so the first people he targeted were the Zhongtong action members who were standing around Sun Liang and his companions.
The effective killing range of the Mauser submachine pistol is more than 100 meters. The effective killing range in actual combat is only about 50 meters. The distance between the roof where Tangcheng is lying on and Sun Liang and others is not more than 50 meters. range. Accompanied by rapid and continuous gunfire, the several members of the Zhongtong Operations who were standing around Sun Liang didn't even have a chance to raise their pistols, and fell down with howls of being shot.
"What's going on?" Shen Xinhe, who was fighting the remaining enemies in the backyard in the shop, was shocked. How could such a careful operation suddenly cause an accident? The sudden sound of gunfire outside the store made Shen Xinhe have to turn around to see what was going on, and then turned around and appeared at the door of the store. Shen Xinhe was almost hit by the oncoming bullet. Shen Xinhe was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat and had to hide behind the store. wooden counter behind.
Tang Cheng was lying on the ridge of the roof, his face covered with a black scarf, and he also wore a peaked cap on his head. Even if the members of the Zhongtong Operations in the shop opposite saw Tang Cheng, they would have no way of knowing his appearance and identity. "Captain, the gunman opposite is a master. He should be using a Mauser submachine pistol. No matter in terms of lethality or ammunition capacity, our Browning is no match." One of Shen Xinhe's team members was lying on the street facing the store. Under the window sill, there was no thought of shooting back. At this time, no one was willing to rush to die.
An originally ordinary arrest operation turned into a street shootout due to Tang Cheng's hasty participation. Seeing that all his men outside the store had been shot and fell, Shen Xinhe, who was huddled in the store, felt very sad. Annoyed. But at this moment, he could only feel aggrieved and annoyed, but he did not dare to rush out to compete with the opponent, because the action team members who were shot and fell outside the store at this moment had already proved their opponent's marksmanship very well.
Cao Jiang, who was disguised as a shoe shiner, was dumbfounded at this moment. The Zhongtong people appeared too suddenly. There were two Zhongtong operatives standing next to him. Cao Jiang did not dare to pull out his gun to rescue Sun Liang who was shot. Two people. However, the sudden sound of gunfire on the roof behind him instantly reversed the situation that was unfavorable to the underground party. Seeing the enemies in the street being shot one after another, Cao Jiang suddenly rushed out from behind the shoe shine stall like a cheetah. Cross the street, and then drag the injured Sun Liang back to the street one by one.
"Lao Cao, please leave quickly. Xiao Li and I are both injured. If you take the two of us with you, you won't be able to escape." Sun Liang, who was only shot in the shoulder, struggled to get up from the ground and was shot with him. Xiao Li was shot through the lungs by the bullet and fell into a coma. Sun Liang tried to snatch Cao Jiang's pistol because he knew that if Cao Jiang took him and Xiao Li, none of the three of them might be able to escape.
"Shut up!" Sun Liang tried to grab the gun but was pushed away by Cao Jiang. "There are three of us, and I am the only one who is safe now. You push Xiao Li away first, and I will protect you from behind." Cao Jiang couldn't help but say , he just spread the injured and unconscious Xiao Li on his own trolley, which was used to push shoe polishing tools, and then pushed the trolley to Sun Liang, who still had one left hand to use.
"Listen, there is someone on the roof behind us helping us. I don't care if he is an enemy or a friend. As long as you remember, I will come to the rear. If you don't want me to die here, take Xiao Li and leave immediately. You go. The faster he goes, the sooner I will withdraw." Sun Liang wanted to argue, but was pushed away by Cao Jiang. Sun Liang, who understood in his heart, had no choice but to grit his teeth and push Xiao Li away. Amidst the sound of gunshots and shouts, He quickly disappeared into the street ahead.
