Chapter 6: Waiting for orders
"Medium-shaped, disperse!"
At the order, the nine-man team quickly rushed to the place where the mob was concentrated with shields in hand, and in one fell swoop rushed away from the mob that was about to gather, dividing them into two parts.
Without the injured masses being entangled, the armed police squad quickly adjusted its direction and formation, interspersed and divided at will, and soon scattered the mobs and prevented the possibility of gathering again.
The mob wanted to gather, tried to attack, and in the chaos had no way to start, and finally had to scatter in all directions to avoid the onslaught.
The armed police squad immediately formed a circular formation to temporarily rest and recuperate, while observing the development of the surrounding situation and preparing to intervene at any time.
It's been ten minutes, and I still haven't waited for the order from my superiors.
Without orders, they could not take any active measures against the mob, neither to control nor to arrest them.
If you continue to play cat-and-mouse games like this, you will be pinned down here.
At this moment, I don't know how many people are being violated, and they are in urgent need of rescue and protection, and maybe a minute late will be life-threatening.
The second platoon and the second squad have been delayed for too long on the 30-meter-long street, and they cannot afford to delay, let alone the party and the people.
There was no command on the intercom that the squad leader wanted.
"Xiao Zhang, how many have you locked?"
"Five. The two had mobile phones, and they had been making and receiving calls without stopping, and they were mixed in with the crowd of onlookers. The other three were in the crowd of troublemakers, responsible for incitement and specific command. ”
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he added: "At present, the five of them have been discovered, and I am not sure if there are more leaders hiding in the shadows." ”
"Xiao Zhang, you are temporarily assigned to the arrest team, and if there is any action next, you will act as an eye."
"Yes!"
The shops on fire on the side of the street are burning brighter and brighter.
Five minutes passed, the fire brigade had not yet arrived, and there were no firefighting appliances at the scene, and the armed police team watched the fire burn and could not do anything.
They are good at dealing with all kinds of mass emergencies, but they are not good at fire fighting, because they are also armed police, and they believe in the professional ability of the fire brigade.
The scattered mob did not do anything more for the time being, not knowing whether they were waiting for orders or taking a break.
Of course, there are still a small number of mobs who are not idle, some of them smash cars, some smash windows, and some interrogate pedestrians.
They seem to be unorganized, scattered in twos and threes, but all of them continue to wreak havoc and show no signs of stopping.
After calming down and observing carefully, the squad leader quickly understood that these troublemakers in front of him must be organized, not an emergency, but a well-planned event!
"Near the Party Committee of the Guangming Road Corps, five backbone leaders have been locked, and two of them have been answering the phone, mixed in with the onlookers, and can be controlled at any time!"
The murderer of the masses and the dangerous elements who destroy stability are just around the corner, and the squad leader can't wait, he desperately wants to attack immediately and control the bad guys.
"Your message is very important, and your superiors are studying and judging it. Keep an eye on it and wait for orders! ”
"Be careful, don't act rashly without an order!"
"Yes!"
Apparently, the instructor did not receive exact orders either.
The superiors asked them to activate the "No. 3 plan" to disperse the troublemakers and maintain order on the scene, but now the situation is beyond expectations, but they can only continue to wait for orders.
Seeing that the bad guys were plotting nearby and continuing to wreak havoc, Zhang Wei and his comrades-in-arms could only defend passively, not to mention how anxious they were.
At this time, not only them, but the armed police officers and soldiers at all levels involved in the operation in the entire city of Wuhan were waiting for orders, and they were all suffering from watching the bad guys under their noses, but they could not control and arrest them.
"Squad leader, can we control the leader first?" Zhang Wei suddenly proposed to arrest him.
The squad leader was a little surprised, and then asked, "What did you find abnormal?" ”
"Those two guys who were mixed in with the crowd of onlookers could flee the scene at any time under the cover of the crowd. The line of sight is not good, and once they are allowed to escape, it is difficult to catch them. ”
"We can't act without orders from above."
After the squad leader finished speaking, he felt a little stiff, and added an explanation: "Detection is the responsibility of the public security, and we are only responsible for carrying out orders and assisting in arrests when necessary." Even if they are allowed to slip away today, tomorrow the police will find out their identities and they will not be able to escape. ”
Zhang Wei didn't say anything more, there were some things he couldn't figure out, so he stopped being distracted and focused all his energy on staring at people.
One of the reasons why the mob stayed was that they knew that the armed police would not attack them or arrest them, and the other reason was that there were leaders and cadres who were inciting them and controlling them.
In order to completely disperse this group of mobs, the leader and backbone must be controlled, the so-called thief first captures the king, and controls the leader, and the others naturally have no master.
The members of the armed police pinched the time, and every minute and second passed for a very long time.
Another minute passed, and there was still no order from the higher authorities on the intercom, which meant that the confrontation continued and the destruction continued.
The nine people could only rely on defense and could not control the development of the situation in any case, so they could only do their best to protect the lives of the masses, and the safety of cars, shops, and other property could only be put aside for the first time.
In the previous offensive and defensive conflicts, Zhang Wei and his comrades-in-arms were all injured, and at this time, there was a minute or two of idleness, the tension weakened, and the pain on his body gradually became stronger.
The squad leader noticed that his comrades-in-arms were in a strange state, and immediately ordered: "Shape! ”
"The first detachment to the left, the second detachment to the right, approached the onlookers, told them to go home, and assembled in place in a minute."
"Stay safe, act!"
The two squads sprang into action, leaving aside the nearby mob and heading straight for the crowds of onlookers on both sides of the street.
The crowd still standing in the street is the same as not afraid of being attacked by the mob.
As it turned out, they were not attacked, they were all intact, and they watched the mob smash cars and shops as if they were watching the excitement.
Although they did not participate directly, watching the lively behavior undoubtedly increased the courage and confidence of the mob to destroy, and even gave them wrong psychological feedback, and it is possible that in the eyes of the mob, the onlookers are supporting them.
Regardless of the role of the onlookers, it is not appropriate to remain on the street, and they must be allowed to go home, or simply dispersed.
"Hurry away, don't linger on the streets!"
The squad leader didn't talk too much nonsense, and took the team to the side of the street to drive people directly.
Hearing this, some of the onlookers left, while most were unmoved.
"We're on a mission, don't be a spectator, please leave quickly!" The squad leader raised the pitch to the highest.
Those who were about to leave walked away quickly, and those who didn't want to leave were like they didn't hear it, standing still and motionless.
Seeing this, the squad leader immediately issued a warning: "Please leave quickly, otherwise you will bear all the consequences!" ”
After the warning, some people left, and some people remained motionless from beginning to end, as if they wanted to see the end of the confrontation between the two sides.
At this point, Zhang Wei and his comrades-in-arms can understand it.
The crowd of onlookers and the mob must have been connected, and if they don't handle it well, they may eventually join in!
