Chapter 588: On the eve of the decisive battle

Li Qi was watching television, and the news reported that the terrorists had at least 400 hostages, and probably 700. Among these people, the number of guests is still relatively small, estimated at 100 to 200, most of whom are hotel employees. Not only is the hardware top-notch, but the software is also world-class. The Royal Suite is a 7:1 service with a butler, whose basic requirement is to be able to immediately tell the current prices of stock indexes, gold and oil futures around the world on the day. Traditionally, the ratio of guests to staff was 1:4. The number of terrorists is estimated at between 70 and 120.

Now one of the questions that everyone is concerned about is how the other side will bring such a large amount of arms into City D. It is not difficult for people, D City is an open tourist city in the Middle East, and there are countless excuses to enter D City smoothly. But it is quite difficult to transport such a large number of weapons that are needed by so many people without alerting the police and anti-terrorist departments.

The first and second floors are used to defend the military and police, and most of them are hotel staff. Guests are clustered in a 10-storey Roman restaurant. There is currently no record of staff being deliberately killed by terrorists. But the terrorists have killed thirteen residents. This Jiang Ying and Li Qi said that first of all, you have to contact your relatives, and your relatives will show an account number, and how much money in the account has reached before you are eligible to be kidnapped. Then within eight hours, your loved one will complete the ransom transaction as the other person demands.

Those who are unable to complete the first step will be sent to the first floor, where they will be the first row of meat shields and will be the target of the military and police who will be shot first. If you can't complete the second step, when the time is up, you will be shot directly. The price is also different for each person. The famous athlete trained by a small country is worth 30 million US dollars. Extort directly from the government of their country. The government refused. He was shot dead. Jiang Ying's head is 3 million US dollars, and Jiang Ying's mistress sent a photo of a piece of jewelry on the spot, which is worth at least 10 million US dollars. This also allowed Li Qi to find them and rescue them.

Terrorists work in an orderly manner, and there is a division of labor within them. Human-bullet black widows, hostages, air defense personnel, position personnel. Technical personnel. But they were also stuck by three security companies. As a follower of a former Marine, he underestimated the belief in honor of these veterans of MP. He can't be blamed for this, his faith has long been not an honor.

At half past ten in the evening, Xiao He lay motionless on the ceiling. He found himself preferring the profession to being a leader. Unfortunately, only leaders have room to rise. He not only looked at the doorway, but also looked at the shadow of the corridor from a high position. The people in the corridor couldn't see him, and he couldn't see the people in the corridor, but he could see the shadows in the corridor.

Xun Xuan has been worried about Sister Lin thousands of miles away, but he needs to work. There is nothing absolutely important for the work of all people here, but there is nothing that is not important. Everyone is using their potential to complete the work assigned to them perfectly. He was the same. He has always warned himself not to think about Sister Lin, because he is not the only one here.

Compared with. Ouyang Jianlan is much simpler, her only thought is to better defend and supervise everyone.

The hall was silent, and the lid of the piano that served as a bunker was suddenly opened, and Blue River sat down to play. The play is very calm, which seems to indicate that his mood is also calm.

Amid the sound of the piano, Li Qi was inspecting the position. Each gunner was rested with a back-to-back gunner by his side. The number of bullets and firearms is still quite satisfactory to Li Qi. Walking to the window and pulling back the curtains, there were four helicopters circling nearby, but none dared to approach. One is a TV helicopter. The curtains were also drawn to prevent some unscrupulous reporters from filming their defensive positions in the live broadcast footage.

"Alert." Xiao He shouted.

Almost at the same time, two jars were thrown in. Flashbangs, although far away, also blinded the gunners temporarily. Li Qi was not in a hurry and said: "Spare gunner." ”

The gunner, with his back to the bunker, mounted his rifle and opened fire. In five seconds, the terrorists dropped two bodies. Everyone was on guard until Xiao He said: "The other party evacuated." ”

Ouyang Jianlan asked beside Li Qi, "Do you want to go and get a weapon?" ”

"No, this attack is a little weird." Li Qi shook his head. Although the flashbang was temporarily blinding, with such a small scale and rifle, there was no possibility of breaking through.

Xun Xuan took a rifle and agreed: "There are not only living bombs, but also dead body bombs." ”

Li Qi said: "To attack our position, there must be cover. They can use smoke grenades with improvised steel plates, this is not a forcible attack, this is pure death. ”

Xun Xuan suddenly sighed.

"Huh?"

Xun Xuan said: "I remembered an extremely despicable tactic to break our defenses. ”

"What tactics?"

"Human Shield." Xun Xuan said: "Fifty hostages opened the way, and terrorists followed them or surrounded them. Even if we shoot the terrorists with a sharpshooter and the hostages flee in all directions, in case there are a few Black Widows in it......"

Li Qi was silent, and after a long time, he said, "Then we can put incendiary bombs at the door to come in handy." ”

"You're going to kill all the hostages?"

"Don't worry. The other side is not so stupid. If they do so, the military police will attack without scruples. ”

Xun Xuan also smiled: "It's good that it's not the Philippines, otherwise everyone here will have to die." ”

Li Qi shook his head: "If the military is capable, a tactical team should be sent to infiltrate at this time." ”

Mi Wu said: "Advisor, I got the surveillance. ”

"Huh?" Li Qi walked back to the office, and the desktop was full of computers, and there were many surveillance screens on the computers.

Mi Wu said: "You can only get the monitoring screen, but you can't get the monitoring control." ”

"Good." Li Qi looks at the monitoring, there is elevator monitoring, there is corridor monitoring, there is lobby, restaurant, sports venue monitoring. The only pity is that the fire escape is not monitored. Li Qi pointed and asked, "Why are these pictures blurry?" ”

Mi Wu said: "These seem to be surveillance installed by terrorists temporarily. ”

Li Qi looked at the shooting angle, and the installation was very thief. The surveillance is usually from the top down, and some of the surveillance here is installed in the middle, and some are simply installed at the bottom, and only the feet can be photographed. Li Qi asked: "How much is this monitoring?" ”

"Twenty." Mi Wu said: "They are divided into open-air swimming pools, tennis courts, and underground pipelines. ”

"Yes." Li nodded, these secret sentinels watched over places that might be parachuted or infiltrated by the military police. If the military police dispatch a tactical infiltration team according to the layout of the hotel, they will be arrested by the other side.

Some people appeared on the screen on the 50th floor of the tarmac, and Li Qi looked at the screen, this was the fourth batch of hostages to be released. Li Qi's eyes lit up: "Baitula." ”

It was Baitullah who personally brought four people to the tarmac with five hostages. If you detain this woman or kill her...... Li Qi sighed, forget it. Zhao Yun and Jiang Ying are uncertain because of their personal heroism. It's better to compete, don't worry about real death, and won't be tied up.

Xun Xuan was also watching the video and watched it very carefully. Finally, he said: "I speculate that the other party has no intention of launching a general attack on one of our companies for the time being, and at most it is a harassing attack like stealing chickens." ”

"Wait." Li Qi looked at the tarmac video: "What about Baitula? Migo, video. ”

Mi Wu hurriedly played the video, and Li Qi realized that Bai Tula was not a terrorist at all, but a hostage. Li Qi was shocked: "Damn! ”

"I'll do it too." Xun Xuan watched the video, and Baitura ran away, what does this mean? This means that the kidnapping is over, or is about to end. The remaining terrorists are going to carry out political and strategic attacks without fear of life and death. Xun Xuan suddenly realized: "No wonder the first few times I sent hostages, these hostages were sent to various locations. ”

The helicopter was piloted by the police, but the co-pilot was a terrorist. The terrorists turned off the radio and ordered the police to drive the helicopter somewhere to pick up passengers. After the hostages left, the terrorists did not run and sat on the plane. Wait for the next pick-up instruction from the hotel. The police did not dare to touch this person, and if they did, the terrorists would retaliate, and the remaining hostages would not be able to be brought out. But I didn't expect that there was another important reason for the other party's arrangement, that is, to escape. No one thought that the leader of the terrorists would quietly escape, and in everyone's opinion, the terrorists should be the very heroic kind, the kind that never stops dying.

"Did you find followers?" Xun Xuan asked urgently.

"Looking, looking." Mi Wu rubbed his eyes and stared at the screen for a long time, his eyes were very uncomfortable. Mi Wu pointed and said, "There is." ”

In the hostage hall on the tenth floor, the followers are still there. Xun Xuan sighed: "It's a big trouble." ”

Mi Wu didn't understand: "This one of the leaders ran away, and you are nervous. None of them ran, and you're nervous? ”

Li Qi explained: "Because, the followers will lead them to launch a general attack on our three companies. Before that, he had sent his sister away, partly because he had faith that he would die, and partly because his sister would use the funds obtained to form a new terrorist gang. If the followers are also gone, it means that the opponent's combat effectiveness has dropped by at least one notch. Migo, tell IZO the news, and get ready for a tough battle. ”

The composition of terrorists is complex, but the essence is very simple. There are two kinds of people in the terrorist group: one is the indispensable people such as technicians, strategic commanders, fundraisers, intelligence gatherers, etc., and these people do not come to the forefront, and they are also the targets of the counter-terrorism department. The other type is called the Holy Warrior (unrelated to Seiya), and this type of person appears at the forefront according to the will and support of the first type of person. Once they appear, they will not leave any way back, they are more like brainwashed tools, and the anti-terrorism department is significantly less interested in them than the first type.

Judging by the current information, Bytura belongs to the first group of people, and the followers belong to the second group. (To be continued......)
