"What''s the situation?" I asked Lao Qin in a low voice.


    "We set up secret sentries outside the hospital. According to the situation reported by them separately, it''s generally like this. At the intersection outside the hospital, about 10 minutes ago, a lot of armed police and special police suddenly came. Armed with live ammunition, they blocked all the intersections and set up road cards. They strictly checked the vehicles and pedestrians who went out, but released those who came in." "Now it''s snowy and windy outside, and there are few vehicles and pedestrians on the road," he said in a low voice


    "It''s obvious that your whereabouts are exposed. They''re coming for us. Their main target is:" I''m stumbling. "They''re obviously coming for the commander-in-chief


    Lao Qin frowned: "since it''s aimed at us, why don''t we directly block the door of the hospital? There are only three doors in the whole hospital. As long as the door is blocked and the hospital is blocked, we can''t escape Even if they can directly block the inpatient building, isn''t that more convenient? "


    I pondered: "I''m afraid they also have concerns and scruples. They must have guessed that our people are deployed around the hospital and the inpatient building. If they directly blockade the hospital or surround the inpatient building, it will inevitably lead to close combat and direct armed conflict, which will make the whole hospital bomb camp.


    "Once there is a gunfight, on the one hand, they may not be able to control the situation; on the other hand, they may not be able to achieve their goal in chaos; on the other hand, they will have too much impact; once civilians are injured, their pressure will be greater; on the other hand, maybe they want to control the periphery first, and then gradually narrow the encirclement, gradually advance and steadily approach the hospital building."


    Lao Qin nodded: "your analysis is reasonable. It should be like this. According to the investigation, they have a lot more people than us. There are about 300 armed police and special police deployed. We only have more than 50 people. Although our people are brave and good at fighting, our greater advantage is fighting in the jungle and in the city, not our strong point.


    "At the same time, our purpose is different from theirs. They want to defeat us and seize the commander-in-chief. Our main purpose is to protect the commander-in-chief to get away safely, not to fight with them. Therefore, our first consideration is how to ensure that the commander-in-chief leaves here unharmed. "


    I said: "it''s best to get away without a gunfight. Once you fire, you''ll be entangled, and it''s hard to get rid of for a while. Once you''re bitten by them, the longer you stay, the worse it will be for us."


    Lao Qin pondered for a moment: "according to the current situation, they have just completed the encirclement of the periphery, and there is no sign of narrowing the encirclement. It is estimated that their next action will be in the second half of the night, and there will not be any sudden action for the time being. Of course, we should also prevent them from launching a surprise attack. I think their combat plan is to solve the problem before daybreak, one day Bright, the pedestrian on the road is much more disadvantageous to them. Of course, a long time is not good for us


    My brain whirled around quickly and said, "it''s not suitable to stay here for a long time. I think we must make a quick decision and not delay. The more we delay, the worse it will be for us. I think we can do it in three steps. First, let the commander-in-chief leave the ward and join us, so as not to disturb the old man and the old lady. Second, find out the weak points of their encirclement and decide the direction to break through. Third, when breaking through the encirclement, we should use the method of East and west to send some people to feint in the opposite direction to attract their attention, The other part of the people hide, fight and rush from the weak link, cut the mess quickly, and rush out - "


    after listening to me, Lao Qin nodded:" your method is good. According to the situation reported by the secret sentry, the direction out of the East Gate of the hospital should be the weak link. Out of the east gate there, it''s a large residential area, all bungalows, lots of alleys, and the alleys are complicated, just rush through It''s easy for the road to enter the roadway


    "At that time, I''ll take people to rush out from the west gate, feint the encirclement of the intersection on the west side, and attract their troops. Don''t go out and watch the situation change. As long as we attack the encirclement in the direction of Ximen, the people from other places around us will certainly send out their troops to support us. The vigilance in the direction of Dongmen will be relaxed, and the blocking force will be reduced. Then you can surprise yourself and rush out to the residential area. As long as you enter the roadway in the residential area, it''s easy to do


    "At the same time, all of us, including you and the commander-in-chief, wear face masks when attacking, so that they can''t distinguish who is who, and at the same time, they can''t expose you..."


    Lao Qin''s consideration is considerate, I nodded: "it seems that a bloody battle tonight is inevitable, tonight must be dead."


    "I can''t help it. I have to be dead when it''s time to be dead!" Lao Qin looked a little gloomy and said, "revolution always kills people!"


    I was speechless for a moment, thinking that once a large-scale gun battle broke out, it would be the headline news that shocked the whole country tomorrow. No one is sure that we will succeed in our action tonight. If we fail, maybe we will both die in the street on a snowy night. Our lives will come to an end. All my glory and dreams will come to an end, and Li Shun''s revolutionary cause will go bankrupt.


    Lao Qin continued: "after you enter the laneway of the residential area, you must not love to fight. You should separate a small group of people to attract their attention. The other group should protect the commander-in-chief and move quickly in another direction. You should get away from the scene as soon as possible, leave the urban area and go to the northern mountain area. When you get to the safety zone, we will contact you again.""You can''t love war either." I said.


    "I will take people to delay as much as possible, and strive for more opportunities for you to break through." Lao Qin said.


    As soon as I heard Lao Qin''s words, I immediately understood what he meant. He wanted to lead people to hang out with them. The longer he stayed with them, the greater the safety factor of Li Shun''s breakthrough. Lao Qin is ready to go back, he has put his life and death aside.


    Lao Qin added: "after you get to the safe area, if I haven''t contacted you after dawn, you don''t have to wait. You immediately arrange for the commander in chief to leave and don''t go back to the winter training camp of Tianhua mountain. Let the commander in chief immediately go back to the golden triangle and go back by sea. Sea is my old traffic line. Enter the high seas and go south, cross the Bashi Strait and bypass the Philippines ……


    "Don''t delay to see off the commander-in-chief. Go back to work immediately. The safety of the commander-in-chief is the first priority. You must also not reveal your identity. If I am honored, you will have a heavier burden in the future The commander-in-chief and the revolutionary army are inseparable from you! "


    I suddenly felt a sense of solemn and stirring, said: "Lao Qin, you have a wife and children, you can''t die, I''m a single, or I take people to feint from the west gate, you protect the commander-in-chief to break through!"


    "No, it''s too dangerous. I can''t let you die for nothing. I''ve lived for most of my life. I''ve already died. I''ve already died in the tropical jungle. It''s time to join my comrades in arms. It''s worth living so many more years. I''ve already arranged for my wife and children. I''m ready to see Marx at any time. I don''t have any worries.


    "But you are different, you are still young, you still have a good life to enjoy, you have to live well, you are about to get married, you still have parents in your family, you are dead, do you have the heart to let your parents give black hair to white hair? You have registered. Do you have the heart to let Haizhu be widowed before the wedding ceremony? " Lao Qin said in an unquestionable tone: "so, let''s not fight. Let''s just follow the division of labor."


    I clenched my lips and suddenly felt very sad.


    Lao Qin looked at me and said with a smile, "in fact, I may not necessarily die. I''ve been fighting in the tropical rainforest for so long, and many times I''ve come to the end. I''m doomed Also, in terms of actual combat, your experience is not as good as mine. If I take people to feint in the west, the chances of success and survival will be greater. So, brother, let''s not fight. "


    I suddenly said, "let''s think about it carefully and see if there are other better ways to get away safely without firing or armed conflict."


    Lao Qin looked at me: "what? Are you scared? "


    I said: "if you think so, I don''t deny it. Yes, I''m afraid, but I''m not afraid of my own death. I''m afraid that a lot of people will die. Once large-scale fire is fired, a lot of people will die. These people are young lives. They all have parents in their families. They all have their own beautiful youth and their own beautiful life vision, They all have their dream lovers. If they are going to die just because of us, I suddenly feel a little scared! "


    Lao Qin''s eyes were chilly: "do you think there is a better way now? You don''t want to use force. Do you think the other side will not use force? You pity those lives. Do you think they care? If you don''t want to kill one person without one shot, then there''s no way. "


    "What can I do?" I said.


    "Let the commander in chief turn himself in!" Lao Qin said.


    I was cold all over. Looking at Lao Qin, Lao Qin''s eyes grew colder.


    "Is that what you mean?" Lao Qin said.


    "Of course I didn''t mean that!" I said.


    "What do you mean? What do you mean by the plan of action just discussed that you have to back out in the face of the battle? " Lao Qin asked me.


    "Lao Qin, I think you misunderstood me:" I sighed: "well, I didn''t say what I said just now. Don''t think I''m afraid of death. If you think I''m afraid of death, let''s exchange. You protect the commander-in-chief to break through the encirclement, and I''ll take someone to fight West! Now that you''ve decided to fight hard, you''ll fight to death, or you''ll die! "


    Lao Qin was silent for a moment and said, "don''t say angry words. It''s useless to say angry words at this time."


    "What do you mean by that?" I''m a little angry.


    Lao Qin sighed: "well, deputy commander in chief, I apologize to you. I''m wrong. I shouldn''t have said those words!"


    When Lao Qin said this, I felt a little impatient and said, "OK, let''s not talk about this. Since the action plan has been decided, let''s start to implement it. You go to arrange the personnel, and I''ll go up to the commander-in-chief!"


    At this time, I have a premonition in my heart that I may not live until dawn, not only me, but also Lao Qin, and even Li Shun.


    Having been involved in the underworld for so long, my biggest retribution is finally coming. I''m finally going to pay for what I''ve done before. I''m finally going to draw an end to my involvement in the underworld.
