50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 82 Catching the Fire
"Wait a minute, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xu, let us use your red armbands so we can distinguish between friend and foe."

Aunt Liang is indeed a veteran, and she considers things more carefully than Sun Zhiwei.

Indeed, there will definitely be many comrades coming to support you soon. They may not know who you are, so if you can't distinguish between friend and foe, don't let your own people get killed.

Aunt Liang and Sun Zhiwei put on their red armbands. Before leaving, Aunt Liang instructed the three staff members: "Please take care of the children. Please close the door after we leave. Don't open the door for others until we come back."

The three of them quickly agreed: "Don't worry, Director Liang, we can't fight, but we can take care of the children."

Aunt Liang and Sun Zhiwei looked at each other, then each of them opened half of the door and rushed out together.

The sound of gunfire came from the alley ahead. The two of them hurried to the alley entrance. Aunt Liang slowly stuck half of her head out from the side, then immediately retracted it.

"Four people, 4 meters away, approaching." Aunt Liang whispered to Sun Zhiwei about the situation in the alley.

Sun Zhiwei and Aunt Liang looked at each other, and then began to retreat together.

A few steps away was a stall selling spicy soup. The stove on the stall was still on, but after the gunshot just now, everyone in the stall had run away.

The two hid behind the stalls and aimed at the alley entrance. Just as they were ready, several people rushed out from the alley.

Those men were disheveled, looked panicked, held guns in their hands, and kept looking back.

"Surrender your weapons and you will not be killed."

Aunt Liang's voice suddenly sounded from beside Sun Zhiwei, startling him.

In his opinion, he should shoot immediately when they are off guard and kill a few of them first.

This is because he doesn't understand Director Liang. Our troops have a tradition of recruiting surrenders. Director Liang also came from the battlefield, and this is the combat habit she brought back.

However, these people are not soldiers on the battlefield, but lurking spies. If they were not stubborn and unrepentant, they would not have been lurking until today.

After hearing Director Liang's shout, the four men turned around and opened fire towards the stall, sending broken pieces of tables, chairs and signs flying everywhere.

The distance between them was less than 10 meters, and all the bullets were fired at full power. Sun Zhiwei and Director Liang could only hide behind the stove to avoid the flying bullets.

At this time, Sun Zhiwei had no time to blame Director Liang. He quickly expanded the ring space and extended it to the enemy side. There were three people covered by his space.

Sun Zhiwei confirmed that the fourth person was with Director Liang. He found out the positions of the three people and while the person at the edge was distracted and checking the movements in the alley, he quietly extended the muzzle of his gun, took careful aim, and pulled the trigger.

One of the four enemies fell, and the other three fired in panic. In less than 4 seconds, the enemy stopped firing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Director Liang and Sun Zhiwei decisively stuck half of their bodies out from both sides of the stove and fired several shots at the enemy's position.

The distance was so close that there was no need to aim. The three enemies outside were shot and fell to the ground.

Just now, Sun Zhiwei saw through the space that the enemy was changing magazines, so he attacked decisively. Director Liang relied entirely on combat experience.

She knew how many bullets a gun had. The enemy fired too quickly and ran out of bullets quickly. She relied on her experience to judge that the bullets in the enemy's gun had been used up, so she dared to come out and shoot.

Both of their judgments were correct. The enemy's reloading gave them a chance to attack calmly, and all four enemies were knocked down.

Sun Zhiwei didn't know where the enemy had been hit. He hadn't dared to look closely when he fired, but there should still be some who were alive. He could still hear them groaning. "Aunt Liang, are we going out?"

"Wait a little longer, the comrades in the alley will be here soon. We can only be safe if we work together."

What you said makes sense and your IQ is also on point, but how did you have the courage to say that just now? You almost killed him here.

"Aunt Liang, next time you call out, please remind me first."

"Hey, these guys are different from the enemies on the battlefield. When we met the White Army before, they all knelt down as soon as I shouted."

OK, I get it. Aunt Liang must have been from the local army before. She uses this tactic of 'surrounding and then trying to persuade them to surrender' very easily.

The two hid behind the stove, not caring about the lives of the spies lying outside. While they were complaining, they heard someone shouting, "Which department are you from outside? What's the enemy situation?"

Director Liang quickly took over, "I'm Liang Xiuying from the street office. There are four enemies. They've been shot and fallen to the ground, but they're still alive. Which unit are you from?"

"Director Liang, I'm Yue Ming from Team 9. I'm with the patrolling soldiers. Let's go out and take a look."

"Okay, let's work together to keep an eye on the enemy and prevent a counterattack." After saying that, Director Liang walked out first, with the muzzle of his gun always pointed at the wailing spies on the ground.

Sun Zhiwei followed closely behind, covering the four people on the ground in front of him with his gun pointed at them, and then quickly confirmed the number of guns dropped on the ground, 4, 1, 2, 3, just right.

At this time, six or seven people came out of the alley. The one wearing work clothes should be Yue Ming who had just spoken, and the others were wearing military uniforms. They should be patrolling soldiers.

The two sides approached quickly, and the first thing they did was to take away the guns on the ground. Then they stepped forward and kicked several spies to the ground.

Only after confirming that the enemy had been captured alive did Sun Zhiwei turn off the safety and put the gun back into his waist.

Seeing that the soldiers had no ropes, he immediately turned around and took a few ropes from the spicy soup stall. Several soldiers took the ropes and tied up the enemy, and the atmosphere at the scene became relaxed.

"Yue Ming, what's going on?" Director Liang asked the staff member of Team 9.

"Director, our team 9 was just distributing food ration books to a family on Aimin Street. I saw these people and they didn't even have household registration books. I became suspicious."

“Once we got out, we immediately found a nearby patrol to check on them, but they were just coming out of the house and opened fire on the soldiers when they saw them.”

"Then we chased them all the way here. Luckily, Director Liang and you guys stopped them, otherwise they would have gotten away. Damn spies."

"You've done a great job. I've been doing door-to-door registration these past few days. This situation should continue. I'll report this to the higher-ups and have all work teams armed starting tomorrow."

Director Liang was a little angry. This happened in her jurisdiction. Fortunately, no one was hurt, otherwise she would also be responsible.

Aunt Liang then went to communicate with the patrol team members and asked them to inform the street committee of the results of the interrogation, as they also wanted to hold a meeting to discuss the situation.

“Aunt Liang, it’s better to go check on that family. I’m afraid?”

"Yes, that family was either murdered or kidnapped, or they are accomplices. We must go and check it out."

Director Liang decided to check on the family, so she discussed it with the patrol soldiers and asked them to go with her to take a look.
