Chapter 52 Support for Southern Xinjiang
August is the hottest season, and the control of the city is still not over.
However, the overall situation has been much better than in July, with each platoon and shift taking turns to carry out its tasks, and the armed police mobile squadron finally has some time to organize training.
However, less than three days after the training began, the squadron received an order from its superiors to transfer two platoons of troops to southern Xinjiang to assist in the task of searching for and arresting the backbone elements of the three forces.
Over the past month or so, thanks to the efforts of all kinds in Wushi, although many people of the three forces who participated, planned, and commanded the 75 crackdown, smashing, looting, and burning have been arrested, the real backbone elements have been hidden too deeply.
The public security, armed police, national security and other national forces, combined operations, failed to capture the real backbone hiding behind them, although they knew of their existence, but they still went unpunished.
Squadron leader Wu Sheng and instructor Tang Wenyi summoned two squads each in the first, second and third platoons to hold a meeting in the squadron conference room to announce the task and mobilize before the mission.
"Comrades, we have just received an order from our superiors that a group of backbone elements of the three forces are preparing to flee abroad through southern Xinjiang, and our superiors have asked us to rush to southern Xinjiang to assist in the search and arrest."
"But there are some things you need to know in advance before you go."
After Wu Sheng finished speaking, he turned on the projector, and the video screen appeared on the screen.
"There are quite a few recruits who have been in the army for less than a year and may not have heard of the three forces. You watch the video first, and then the instructor will explain it to you. ”
The video began to play, Zhang Wei looked at the video content, and his heart throbbed.
After the three-minute video was played, the conference room was silent, and everyone was almost shocked by the content of the video.
Instructor Tang Wen stepped forward, "Comrades, the video you just saw is part of the evil deeds committed by the three forces over the years, and it is inconvenient to continue to broadcast it here today." ”
"Comrades have just seen that the diehards in the three forces are very cruel and have received special training from foreign forces, and will snatch the guns and ammunition of the people's police and sentries by means of booby-traps and traps."
"These sentinels, people's police, and special police officers in the video are all professionally trained, but they are still killed by extreme criminals when they are defenseless."
"Although some of them are prepared, they do not have a full understanding of the difference between friend and foe during their mission, so that the ways and means of dealing with extremist criminals are not fully thought out and prepared."
"These tragedies all show the ferocity and cruelty of extremist criminals, and we must not treat them as if they were ordinary criminals, without any luck mentality, let alone attempt to influence them."
"Comrades should remember that at any time, the dispatch of the armed police force means that the situation is so urgent that it is about to get out of control, and if it is judged on the spot that the use of force is necessary, do not have any worries."
"There are enough tragedies and I don't want another tragedy in the squadron."
Through these words, the armed police soldiers knew that instructor Tang Wenyi's attitude towards the armed police force had changed, and he had begun to consider the issue of how to carry out the orders of his superiors in an emergency.
"The three forces are a collective term for violent terrorist forces, separatist forces, and religious extremist forces, and for a long time before, these three forces were not too deeply entangled, but in recent decades, the three forces have been intertwined with each other, difficult to distinguish from each other, difficult to sort out, and difficult to deal with."
"We don't discuss matters at the national level, we just need to carry out the orders of the higher authorities to arrest and eliminate the stubborn forces and extremist criminals among the three forces."
"This task is very arduous, and I wish the comrades a successful completion of the task!"
Tang Wenyi said a lot at length, and everyone was slightly relieved from the shock in the video.
Judging from his word "elimination", this mission is very different from the previous patrol mission, and the danger factor has skyrocketed.
"Comrades, the extremist criminals who will assist in the search and arrest this time have received special training from the overseas intelligence system, have strong investigation and counter-reconnaissance capabilities, and carry weapons with them, so they must be careful during their mission."
"All the staff will receive their weapons and equipment, and they will leave in half an hour."
As soon as the squadron leader's voice fell, the armed police soldiers attending the meeting quickly left the conference room, collected guns and ammunition, and made the final preparations before leaving.
The second platoon went out to carry out the mission this time it was the second and third shifts, and the second squad made a mistake before and could not have gone out to carry out the mission.
However, because the squad leader of the first squad was seriously injured on the night of the July 5 Incident, he is still lying in the hospital, and the deputy squad leader who was temporarily appointed as a squad leader has not been in the army for a long time and has no experience in performing this kind of task.
As a result, the second squad, which had fewer attritions, replaced the first squad and participated in the special task of searching for extremist criminals.
Military trucks carrying six squads of armed police soldiers left the garrison and headed straight for southern Xinjiang.
Whenever it was time to carry out a mission, the soldiers on the military vehicle were always uncertain and unwilling to say more.
But this time it was unusual, and the second row and second shift were particularly excited, because this was a rare opportunity for them to prove themselves!
Unlike the soldiers of the second squad, who are all high-spirited, the soldiers of the third squad are not in high spirits, and some of them have their sorrows written on their faces.
"Didn't this kind of task in the past be the business of the corps? How this time let's come. "The soldiers of the third squad were a little puzzled.
"To be honest, I haven't shot a real person yet, and if I really want to meet a real person, I don't know what will happen."
The fighters of the mobile squadron usually deal with emergencies within the city, and in most cases they do not use guns, even if they are on a mission, unless there are special circumstances, they do not carry guns.
In short, in a year, there are no more than two missions with guns, and there are almost no opportunities to use guns, all they do is to assist and vigilance, and when they really need to use guns, they are all on the public security special police.
It is so embarrassing to have no definite independent law enforcement power, and it is like doing miscellaneous work in the city, but it is not possible without the armed police force.
If you don't fight real people all year round, you can't practice your guts, and if you encounter extreme criminals with guns, you really don't know what will happen.
Although Chen Yanchuan, the third squad leader, is a veteran and has performed some special tasks before, he has really experienced gun-fighting with real extreme criminals.
So he also empathized with the discussions and worries of the fighters.
Especially since the July Five-Year Incident, several of his old comrades-in-arms have been injured and some have died, which has dealt a great blow to him.
The discussion of the fighters naturally resonated with him.
"So spiritless, can you face extreme criminals?" Platoon commander Dong Can was very unhappy.
"If you can't do it, pack up your bunk and go home to feed!"
Dong Can's ridicule had some effect, and the mood of the third class gradually adjusted for the better.
He glanced at the soldiers of the second squad, and saw that their morale was high, and he was very happy, these boys, it's good that they haven't been defeated!
