Chapter 64: Dilemma Strikes Back (2)
I silently climbed onto the roof, tiptoeing around the messy TV antennas, communication boxes, lightning rods, and large and small solar water heater units, gradually approaching the northeast edge of the roof.
The sniper was prone on a canvas mat, his spear sticking through a broken drain and tilting downwards towards Jiang Xue's underground garage.
At this moment, the garage and the first floor are pitch black, and the sniper cannot find an obvious sniper target, and is pressing the spear in his right hand and holding a monocular observation scope in his left hand to search down.
I stood behind the sniper's right and looked down, and soon spotted the auxiliary sniper lurking on the gazebo. The sniper position there was very dangerous for the garage, and after the car drove out of the garage, at least a hundred meters of the driving section was exposed to the man's gun. Obviously, the car has just started, even if the accelerator pedal is pressed to the end to accelerate with all its might, and it is controlled by a professional driver, it will take about 15 seconds to complete this 100 meters.
If a sniper had used an oversized magazine of 25 pieces, fifteen seconds would have been enough to shoot the car into a sieve.
It seems that there was no choice to rush out blindly, and it actually saved the lives of the three of us.
I lay silently, holding my breath, and crawled forward against the ground until I was next to the sniper, and then silently pressed the blade of the knife against the back of his neck, while whispering a "shhh" in his ear.
When a modern team attacks, any single soldier will carry two sets of communicators, one for use and one for backup. I can't make any unusual noises, or I'll alarm the snipers below and make them desperate or frightened birds.
The sniper's shoulders shuddered, and his throat thrust before he could make a sound.
I dragged the tip of the knife against the softest part of the other person's Adam's apple with the sharpest point of the knife, and then gently shh β
As I expected, this killer is also a Chinese face.
I reached over and pressed the headset switch on the left corner of his mouth.
"Is there a backup communicator?" I asked in the same slight tone.
He shook his head, put down his binoculars, took a walkie-talkie from the side pocket of his pants, and placed it in front of me.
"Very good, very good, it seems that we can work together and talk very amicably. I'd better put down the knife, and you'd better not think about anything else, because you'd hurt yourself by mistake. I cautiously admonished the other person, and only after the other person nodded forcefully did I slowly withdraw the knife.
In hand-to-hand combat, wisdom and physical fitness, skill and combat are essential, and I no longer use a knife to force the other party, but to create a channel where communication can be smooth. If the opponent attacks violently, I will definitely be sure that I will be able to knock the opponent down in an instant without affecting the progress of the plan.
"Is there a sniper besides the one on the gazebo?" I asked.
The man shook his head and replied in Chinese: "Two snipers are already the highest configuration of the combat group. β
I sensed the suspicion in his words and immediately asked, "Why do you want to adopt a high-configuration combat mode?" Which of us is your focus? β
If I had to answer this question, I would choose the woman as the answer.
She is from the Yellow Flower Society, and that is the most feared opponent of the Northern Emperor.
As for me and Jiang Xue, one is a little-known civilian, and the other is a local policeman, of course, it will not cause special "care" from the forces in the rivers and lakes.
"Well, I'm just a member of the lowest battle group, and I don't know the specific goal. Before leaving, I heard from my companions that this time we were going to face the best in the industry, and we had to be vigilant and prepared to fight a vicious battle. As a remote sniper, I just need to do my job and control the big picture, and the real hard work is the six companions who touched the house. He said.
That woman can be regarded as a top killer, just imagine, if I don't move, she will also make a decisive move, kill one person in ten steps, and leave endless * annoyance and mess for the Dunhuang police.
"Okay, now, tell me, how many of you have infiltrated Dunhuang? Dive time? What is the estimated evacuation time? I asked again.
The man replied: "Three hundred in total, they infiltrated separately five months ago, and the evacuation is expected to be Christmas." β
I couldn't help but sweat for Jiang Xue and all the Dunhuang policemen, and immediately decided that I must leave Jiang Xue aside and not involve her in the more dangerous whirlpool of rivers and lakes. Doing so is too unkind, and it is tantamount to dragging a "soldier" to do the "thief" thing, which will eventually cause a fatal blow to her career and future.
"Turn the muzzle of the gun and aim at the gazebo, the target point, the left side of the sniper's back, make sure that a bullet pierces the heart." I commanded in a low voice.
The man hesitated, refusing to carry it out.
"Listen to me, and everyone will be fine." I say.
"I can't kill my own companions, even if no one sees them, if I examine the wounds and test the ballistics in the future, the experts in the organization will be able to analyze at a glance that I fired the gun. If you don't kill me, I'll die even worse then! "He rejected me outright.
I didn't even kill the police at the moment when I broke into the police safehouse, and I certainly wouldn't force the snipers to kill each other now. It's just that I have to control the whole scene in an orderly manner, clear the obstacles in the most effortless and worry-free way, and break out of the encirclement with the two people trapped in the house.
"Listen to me, I don't kill people, I just want your companions to abandon their guns. It's a help for him, and it's a help for you. "Instead of coercion, I continued to whisper to persuade him.
The man shook his head, not believing me.
I took off his headset and put it on my right ear.
"Turn the gun, I'll talk to your companion!" I accentuated my tone.
According to my estimate, if this person's fighting skills pass the test, I am afraid that he will immediately drop the gun and fight with me to break the net. The knife is in my hand, I will not hit him hard, I will only make him retreat, just be honest and obedient.
Three years have changed my appearance and my heart.
Buddhist scripture cloud: Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the ground.
But I have a knife in my hand, and my heart has become a Buddha.
The funny thing is that when I was ready to fight back, the man rolled over continuously, jumped up and hid in the shadows, and didn't even have the courage to draw * and draw a gun to fight to the death.
With his battlefield adaptability, he will only be evacuated from the rope ladder and then trapped in mid-air.
I didn't get distracted anymore, I held my gun with both hands, pointed at the top of the gazebo, and quickly locked onto the left midpoint of the man's back in the scope.
Looking down condescendingly, after the enemy is lying flat, his back is like a cutting board, horizontal and vertical, the size is regular, and it is extremely appropriate to aim anywhere.
I picked up the telescope with my left hand, focused my saffia-filigree on the man's mouth, and pressed the headset switch.
I took a few deep breaths before I spoke.
In the telescope, the sniper immediately touched the headset with his left hand and nervously asked, "What's wrong?" What's the situation? β
Now that the communication is good, I can start the battle plan in turn.
I slowed down my tone and said slowly: "My gun is pointed at your back, and now, at my command, leave the spear with your right hand and put it behind your head." β
In the binoculars, his movements were very clear, first his body froze, then he twisted his neck with difficulty, and looked at me.
"Don't look, don't doubt, it's just the two of us alive right now. If you throw away the gun, you can save your life, or I'll shoot you through the heart and wait for the police to collect the body. I said coldly.
The man froze for another ten seconds, then raised his hands, slowly moved back, and buckled them to the back of his head.
"Very well, you stand up, turn back, and start running, as fast as you can, as far as you can, until death can't catch up." I commanded for the third time.
"I don't understand...... I don't understand, who are you? How did you get to the top of that building? You killed everyone? Are you the key target that your superiors say? I admit it to you, alasβ" He stood up with his head in his hands, turned back, and fled with his legs, leaving only the spear and canvas mat on the gazebo.
All the troubles were settled, I grabbed my spear, went down the stairs, and then turned to the back of the building.
The funny thing is that the sniper who escaped is still hanging in the air, unable to go up or down, which is extremely embarrassing.
I left him alone and quickly returned to the underground garage.
Both of them were in the car, the car had already started, and the remote control to open the roller shutter door was also in Jiang Xue's hand.
"Have all the roadblocks been done?" The woman laughed and exclaimed, "I'm 100 percent confident in you!" β
Jiang Xue also shouted: "We all have confidence in you......"
In the face of their cheers, I was as proud as a lone hero in triumph. In the ordinary days of Dunhuang, people have never had such a moment to accept the cheers and greetings of others.
I walked outside the passenger door, and Jiang Xue immediately lowered the window glass and looked at me with blazing eyes.
"Get out of the car." I pulled the car door.
"What?" Jiang Xue asked in surprise.
"Get out of the car, you can't go with us to the anti-thief pit. You're a cop, you have to stay and clean up the mess and do what you're supposed to do. I said with a calm face.
"You...... Mr. Long, what happened? Do you doubt the sincerity of my cooperation? Of course I'm a police officer, you knew it in the hospital, why did you bring it up at this time to part ways? Jiang Xue was puzzled and shouted angrily.
Instead, the woman fell silent, tilted her head, and looked at me earnestly.
"You are a policeman, and the affairs of the rivers and lakes are not under your jurisdiction, and they are not under your control. Okay, don't be verbose, get out of the car quickly, don't delay our journey. "I endured my apologies and coldly ordered the eviction.
Jiang Xue didn't lie on her seat, but jumped down.
I got into the car and slammed the door shut.
The woman whistled, pointed at Jiang Xue, and then pointed at the rolling shutter door in front.
Jiang Xue was angry, raised her hand and pressed the remote control, and the roller shutter door went up with a bang.
"What is the future?" The woman asked.
I nodded, stared ahead, my face sinking like water, and I didn't say a word.
The roller shutter door was halfway up, and as soon as the woman stepped on the accelerator, the car rushed forward and jumped out of the garage.
In the rearview mirror, Jiang Xue stood at the door of the garage, looking at us motionlessly, as if she had become a statue.
The car drove out of the community, and the woman released the throttle a little and maintained a speed of 40 kilometers per hour. The main streets of Dunhuang are limited to speed photos, and if you don't want to swagger through the city, you have to honestly obey the traffic rules.
"I'm curious, how did you manage to manage two snipers with a distance of almost 100 meters in a straight line in a short period of time? When I first got out of the garage, I probably calculated that there were about 80 to 120 meters of the road where the sniper's best view was fully exposed. Even if the other party does not use high-precision sniper rifles, but uses melee weapons such as assault rifles and squad light machine guns, and suddenly sweeps in a flurry, they may send us to God......" The woman asked.
I shook my head, sighed wearily, and leaned back against the door.
Even if she doesn't take Jiang Xue on the road, she may not be safe.
The Northern Emperor has sent so many lurkers across the border, and the plot will never be a small number.
Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while. This is a glorious moment to test the actual combat ability of the Dunhuang police, and it is also a terrible moment when it is very easy to "die before the ambition is paid". Those who rush to the front at a critical time may have to touch the nose of death.
