Chapter 270: The situation is urgent

Luo Xiaoning asked to participate in the hostage rescue operation.

After receiving the report of the case, the director of the department, Chen Ruchang, rushed to Cao Yue as soon as possible, personally commanded and comprehensively dispatched all aspects of the police force. Wu Yongming, as the on-site commander, was responsible for the specific formulation of the operation.

After a comprehensive analysis of the situation inside, Chen Ruchang decided to launch a rescue operation, control the floor below, and buy time and space for the bomb disposal experts to defuse the bomb.

However, Wu Yongming strongly opposed a rash attack.

He believes that if we launch an attack without fully understanding the situation inside, our fighters are likely to suffer casualties, because these criminals are well-trained and are not ordinary gangsters. The combat effectiveness of the reinforced special police is not very strong, and the combat effectiveness of the police who cooperate with the attack is also average. And a rash attack is likely to anger the gangsters and make them act irrationally.

But Chen Ruchang vetoed Wu Yongming's proposal and made a strong decision to take control of the floors below by storming, and then let the bomb disposal experts defuse the bomb. As the head of the provincial department, Chen Ruchang made a decision and did not accept Wu Yongming's opinion, and others did not dare to object, so the action was immediately launched.

As the first batch of police officers to arrive at the scene, and the deputy director of the sub-bureau in charge of serious cases, Luo Xiaoning took the lead in applying for the battle and was approved.

Luo Xiaoning is actually good in all aspects, whether it is grappling or shooting, she is the outstanding person in the sub-bureau. As a leader, you must lead by example and rush to the forefront of the battle, this is Luo Xiaoning's code of conduct, so she strongly asks for her life.

In the end, Chen Ruchang approved Luo Xiaoning's request, and asked her to lead a police force to cooperate with the special police to rush into the building and occupy the lower floors of the house to buy time and space for the bomb folding experts. At the same time, he asked the negotiators to negotiate with the gangsters, delaying as much time as possible.

But the result of the operation was very disappointing, the combat effectiveness of this gang of gangsters was very strong, and the special police and police officers who participated in the operation did not even rush to the third floor, and suffered losses.

The gangsters set up ambushes on the stairs on the third and second floors, and the gangsters who hid in the shadows returned fire to the attacking police with intensive shooting, and finally the police and special police who participated in the operation did not make any progress, and they were trapped on the second floor after paying the price of one serious injury and one minor injury.

The gangsters should have snipers on all floors, two injured policemen, depending on the situation, were shot by snipers.

Fortunately, they were wearing bulletproof vests and steel helmets on their heads, otherwise the injuries would have been more serious.

Luo Xiaoning, two policemen and two special police officers, under the suppression of the gangsters' firepower, were forced to retreat to the hall on the second floor, using the pillars as cover to avoid the snipers on the third floor, and blocking the main staircase to block the gangsters' escape passage.

Another team of policemen was forced to hide at the end of the corridor, near another staircase, and there was no way to reinforce them.

Because of the threat of snipers among the gangsters, they can be said to be unable to advance or retreat, and even the wounded cannot be sent down.

This situation was not expected by Chen Ruchang, who decided to take action, but it was expected by Wu Yongming.

Chen Ruchang thought that all or most of the gangsters retreated to the twelfth floor, and even if there were gangsters left on the lower floor, there were few people, and sending elite police forces to participate in the operation should be able to achieve results.

The biggest threat to the building is the bombs on the floors below, and if the bombs on the floors below can be dismantled, the gangsters will have less damage to the building even if they detonate the bombs on the upper floors.

But the cruelty of reality hit him hard and complicated the situation.

Wu Yongming has experienced more cases than Chen Ruchang, and he has presided over and commanded similar cases several times, and he knows very well that this time it was not an ordinary gangster who committed the crime. In a very short time, occupying a department store, taking hostages, and planting bombs, will this be ordinary gangsters?

This is also the main reason why Wu Yongming strongly opposes a rash attack.

A hasty attack without making the opponent's detectives clear and understanding the situation inside the building is likely to cause heavy losses and anger the gangsters. The final result was similar to Wu Yongming's expectations, the police paid a relatively large loss, and also succeeded in provoking the gangsters.

After being attacked by the police, the gangsters disposed of a hostage as a warning to the police.

Chen Ruchang had no choice but to give an order to temporarily stop the attack and ask his superiors for reinforcements.

Nie Dan also rushed to the scene of the incident as soon as possible.

When Nie Dan arrived at the scene, the first operation personally arranged by Chen Ruchang had already failed. After Nie Dan severely criticized Chen Ruchang's recklessness, he immediately summoned the senior leaders of the public security, armed police, and anti-terrorism at the scene to discuss solutions.

Mayor Wang Guanzhong, Vice Mayor Wu Chengsi, and District Mayor Ning Shouye also came, and they attended the on-site emergency meeting together. Because of the failure of the first operation, Chen Ruchang also lost his confidence and did not dare to be the first to stand up and express his meaning.

Nie Dan also decisively canceled Chen Ruchang's commander-in-chief authority and let Wu Yongming be responsible for the scheduling and command of the entire scene.

Hearing Nie Dan announce this decision in public, Chen Ruchang's face was like ashes, but he didn't have any choice.

He attacked in a hurry, but he didn't want to make things bigger.

For leaders at all levels, security is a top priority. If the matter gets bigger, then he will definitely be punished, so he is anxious to solve the case and minimize the impact. didn't expect the result to be so miserable.

After listening to Nie Dan's announcement, Wu Yongming did not feel any joy, but felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy. He immediately ordered the building manager to take out the design drawings of the building and thoroughly familiarize himself with the situation on the spot.

According to the information reported by the gangsters, the bomb was a liquid bomb with tremendous power, and the people who installed the bomb were extremely skillful in their methods and advanced means, and they were worthy of being called "professional" gangsters, and the places where they planted the bombs were all places where the building was load-bearing, and if an explosion occurred in these places, the consequences would not be unimaginable.

In order to defuse the crisis, it is necessary to find a way to have riot prevention and bomb disposal experts go upstairs to defuse the bomb in the shortest possible time, and at the same time arrange for police forces to seize the time to carry out a control search of the entire building, and not a single bomb can be missed.

But all this is based on the premise of taking back control of the building.

How to take back control of the building, Wu Yongming didn't know the bottom in his heart.

At this time, Cao Yue called and took the initiative to ask to participate in the operation.

Considering many aspects, Wu Yongming felt that if Cao Yue and the comrade-in-arms beside him could participate in the war, the problem would be much easier to solve.

Therefore, without asking Nie Dan, he agreed to Cao Yue's request and asked them to come to the scene.
