Chapter 1052 Big Brother, why didn't you say so earlier?
Liu Yuncang let out a low growl, his suppressed ferocity and emergency response honed over years of licking blood from the knife erupting instantly!
He suddenly leaned his body to the side and back, using his weight and unexpected force to disrupt Tang's balance. At the same time, his right arm, which was being held, stopped struggling outward and instead rammed inward into Tang's arms. His left foot also silently lifted up and kicked towards the place where Tang's legs met, with his toes pointed, fast and fierce!
This sudden breakout and counterattack was both cunning and treacherous, a desperate gamble aimed at creating chaos and escaping or at least gaining the upper hand!
"Hey! That's more like it! It's no fun hiding things!" Ru Chuang was not surprised but delighted. He provoked the other party to make him take action. Only by taking action could he completely destroy the last bit of reliance and pride he had left!
Company Commander Tang went with the flow, taking advantage of Liu Yuncang's momentum to retreat, giving the main stage to the eager Squad Leader Ru, while simultaneously blocking the alley behind him to support his apprentice.
At this moment, Liu Yuncang's body inevitably lost its balance and lurched forward slightly due to Tang Lianchang's retreat. However, he reacted extremely quickly and simply turned the force of his forward lurch into an offensive. His insidious groin kick was even faster and more vicious, aimed at Ru Chuang's knee side!
Faced with this groin kick, Squad Leader Ru neither dodged nor avoided it. Instead, the muscles in his right leg instantly bulged, his trouser leg tightened, and he forcefully took the blow with the outside of his calf!
With a muffled thud, Liu Yuncang felt as if his toes had struck a solid earthen wall. The force of the impact made his toes go numb, and he was horrified.
Squad Leader Ru was kicked, but his body only swayed slightly. Instead, a look of contempt appeared on his face, as if to say, "Is that all?" His left hand, which he extended, continued its momentum like a venomous snake emerging from its hole. His five fingers were hooked, and with a sharp whistling sound, he fiercely grabbed the inside of Liu Yuncang's right leg, which was his supporting leg!
Seeing the situation was dire, Liu Yuncang hurriedly pulled his leg back, but his center of gravity was slightly unsteady due to the forward momentum and the leg retraction. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and using the momentum of the leg retraction, he pivoted on his left leg and twisted his body violently. His right arm, which had been "released" by Company Commander Tang, was now free to move. Instead of trying to completely escape, he bent his elbow, like a scorpion's tail, and delivered a vicious elbow strike straight at Squad Leader Ru's left rib opening!
At the same time, he formed a claw with his left hand and grabbed at the wrist of the arm that Sergeant Ru was reaching out to, attempting to counterattack.
"Well done!" Sergeant Ru shouted in a low voice, his anger replaced by delight.
In the nick of time, his left hand, which was gripping the other's thigh, changed from a claw to a palm and pressed down, precisely hitting the side of Liu Yuncang's elbow as it struck, cleverly deflecting its force.
At the same time, he nimbly changed his footwork, his body sliding half a step to the side like a fish, not only clearing his ribs but also getting closer to Liu Yuncang's center gate.
His right hand had somehow clenched into a fist, and taking advantage of the momentum of his sideways step forward, he delivered a short and powerful straight punch, like a cannonball, straight for the triangle area of Liu Yuncang's chest and abdomen exposed by his spinning elbow strike!
"This punch is going to hurt a lot!"
Liu Yuncang's elbow strike was deflected, and his left hand, which was grabbing the opponent's wrist, also missed. His old strength was exhausted, and he had not yet generated new strength. He could only watch helplessly as the fist rapidly enlarged in front of him. He only had time to barely tuck in his stomach and chest, and cross his arms to press down and block.
"Oh!"
The fist slammed solidly into his crossed forearms, and an overwhelming force surged through him. Liu Yuncang felt excruciating pain in both arms, as if his bones were about to crack. His crossed defenses were forcefully broken, and the remaining force of the fist imprinted heavily on his chest.
"Ugh!" Liu Yuncang groaned, staggering backward as he was hit. His blood was churning, stars were flashing before his eyes, and he felt nauseous and almost couldn't catch his breath.
He stumbled back several steps until his back slammed against the earthen wall of the alley with a thud, barely managing to stop his retreat. He clutched his chest and coughed violently, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Ru Chuang.
Ru Chuang didn't pursue. He simply withdrew his fist, stood still, and flicked his wrist. His face still wore that infuriating smile as he commented, "Not bad, but the style is too wild. With just these skills, you dare to be unruly?"
凸(艹皿艹)！ ！
Liu Yuncang charged forward again, and at the same time, he reached to his waist and grabbed the short steel bar he used to pry open the window bars. He then swung it at the calf of the approaching Squad Leader Ru!
The blow from the stick was fierce; the attacker had truly gone all out.
"They've started using weapons?" Squad Leader Ru raised an eyebrow, took a half step back to avoid the sweeping stick, turned sideways, and reached for the package by the wall.
With a swift and fluid motion, he hooked and pulled at a certain spot on the strap of the package, and a rifle covered with a gun cover slid into his hand.
He gripped the middle of the gun with one hand, his thumb pressing against a mechanism near the handguard, then swiftly flicked his wrist upwards and outwards...
"Clang... Clang!"
A crisp, sharp, metallic clang suddenly shattered the silence of the alleyway!
Beneath the gun barrel, the unique, non-removable triangular-grooved bayonet, like a lurking beast suddenly baring its fangs, points straight forward in a cold, eerie light!
The entire action of thrusting, extending the knife, and gripping the blade was performed in one smooth, clean, and efficient motion, carrying an almost instinctive elegance and deadly beauty.
Squad Leader Ru slightly turned his body, lowered his center of gravity, rested the butt of his rifle on his shoulder, and steadily aimed the sharp triangular tip of his bayonet at Liu Yuncang, who had just missed with his baton, assuming an impeccably standard thrusting stance.
That chilling killing intent, forged in the crucible of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, born purely for slaughter, was no longer concealed and suddenly filled the small space.
Liu Yuncang's steel rod froze in mid-air, his eyes wide open, staring intently at the unique triangular bayonet and the opponent's fierce posture—despite his dark skin, which instantly overlapped with certain images from his memory and legends. An incredulous exclamation escaped his lips:
"Our People's Liberation Army!"
Before he could finish speaking, he abruptly threw away the steel rod in his hand, and knelt down on the ground with a "thud," raising his hands above his head as if on cue. The action was so practiced that it was heartbreaking.
"Huh? You just knelt down like that? Not even trying anymore?"
Liu Yuncang lay on the ground, speechless, his tone full of grievance and resignation: "Brother! You should have said you were soldiers from the People's Liberation Army! Then why am I struggling like this? Can I outrun bullets, or can I beat professional killers like you?"
"Hey, aren't you a veteran spy? You didn't even recognize me..."
Liu Yuncang glanced at the appearances of Tang Lianchang and the other man, then simply buried his head in the ground, not wanting to argue about it, preferring to ignore it!
It's no wonder this guy couldn't recognize them; their appearances were just too deceptive!
You must know that the people of our Celestial Empire crush these small foreign countries in every way, even in terms of skin color.
That kind of noble yellow color is something that the natives can never produce.
However, having spent so much time in the island nation, even with the gentle sea breeze and the pesky, Phoebe and Chirp, their skin had become tanned and shiny, almost indistinguishable from the local natives. In addition, the two deliberately wore coarse cloth short jackets for disguise, making them look nothing like soldiers.
This is also why Liu Yuncang was followed all the way but never found the two men – he didn't take these two natives seriously at all.
As Sergeant Ru was about to use his belt to tie Liu Yuncang's hands behind his back, Liu Yuncang suddenly looked up and asked a question: "Sirs, I have a question. What happened to that pilot surnamed Xu who flew over from our side in an F-86 this June?"
Company Commander Tang and Squad Leader Ru exchanged a glance.
Company Commander Tang said in a deep voice, "You mean Xu Tingze? He came back in 1963. Once he's back, he's one of us. The country hasn't treated him badly; he has everything he deserves. He's doing quite well now."
Although they were on missions abroad, they had heard of such landmark events.
In fact, Company Commander Tang had already underestimated the situation.
After arriving, he was awarded the rank of Air Force Major, then entered the Air Force Academy for further study. After graduation, he served as the Deputy Chief of Staff of an Air Force unit, enjoying the corresponding rank and benefits. Not only were all issues such as housing and family resettlement resolved, but he also received numerous commendations. In his later years, he lived a stable life and was able to enjoy his family life in peace.
In contrast, the guy surnamed Liu who harbored resentment over the distribution of a watch last year and went to the other side of the strait is in a more tragic situation.
What? You're saying he got a thousand taels of gold? And he married a rich and beautiful woman?
Ha ha……
Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no offspring. That rich and beautiful woman can't have children...
Perhaps, someone didn't want him to have descendants...
We've gone off on a tangent, let's get back on track.
Hearing what Company Commander Tang said, Liu Yuncang's eyes visibly brightened, and his throat bobbed. Without further hesitation, he proactively stretched out his hands, clasped together, in front of Squad Leader Ru, urging, "Sir, tie them tighter! I'll cooperate, I'll definitely cooperate!"
They acted as if they weren't going to be captured, but rather to receive a reward.
As Company Commander Tang gestured for Ru Chuang to tie him up, he looked at him with a hint of amusement: "What, do you know him?"
Liu Yuncang's hands were tightly bound by a military belt, but he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and answered honestly, "Reporting to the sir, Xu... is a distant cousin of mine, and our families have been in contact before."
His family kept his past a closely guarded secret, but I secretly inquired about it... I never expected he'd be treated so well..."
He licked his slightly chapped lips and looked at Company Commander Tang:
"Sir, I... I guess I could be considered... could I be considered to have 'repented'? I'll confess, I'll tell you everything I know!"
I know a thing or two about that 'Xiangjiang Project,' Zhang Peizhi, the people they arranged, and the places where they hid things!
I demand… I demand the same treatment as Liu Chengsi! No… it doesn't have to be that good. Just give me some money, a piece of land, and let me go home to take care of my elderly mother!
"Oh, so he's a filial son!"
Looking at the "pangolin" in front of him, who was eager to fight just a moment ago but was now anxiously demanding "treatment," Company Commander Tang was speechless, and Squad Leader Ru rolled his eyes.
However, it's always a good thing to be able to capture a "tongue" without bloodshed, especially one that seems to know a lot of inside information.
"As for your treatment, it depends on whether what you've given us is worth it. Now, behave yourself and lead us out." Company Commander Tang patted his shoulder, signaling him to get up and lead the way.
Liu Yuncang nodded hurriedly, struggled to his feet, and took the initiative to walk to the front.
However, problems soon arose.
Liu Yuncang himself was lost. Although Company Commander Tang and Ru Chuang followed him in, their attention was entirely on people. They were equally clueless about the winding, chaotic, and seemingly ever-changing slum alleyways.
The three wandered around the maze made of broken planks, sheet metal, and sewage for a while, only to find themselves back at the alley entrance with the familiar garbage dump.
"..." Company Commander Tang remained expressionless.
"..." Class monitor Ru scratched his head.
"You son of a bitch, you still haven't given up your thieving ways!"
"Injustice!"
