Chapter 24: Platoon Commander's Concerns
There are too many people in Nanhu Square, the scene is too chaotic, and if you don't evacuate quickly, the consequences will be unimaginable.
After receiving the task, Dong Can, the commander of the second platoon, immediately led all the soldiers of the second platoon to cross the green belt, climb over the fence, and rush to the duty point 100 meters away.
When I arrived at the scene, I saw that the officers and men of the armed police on duty at the gate were already facing the enemy, but the strength was really not enough.
"Comrade, we have been ordered to come and assist in the duty!" Dong Can stepped forward and saluted to explain his intentions.
The squad leader on duty on duty immediately returned the salute and reported the situation on duty, "Report to the platoon commander, my squad should be eight people, but there are eight people!" ”
"Class 1, Class 2, five meters away, three meters away!"
The platoon commander gave the order, and the squads followed the order, quickly lined up five meters away, and prepared to defend against the impact.
It was difficult to carry out the task when the situation was unclear, and the team members lined up in front of them, and Dong Can immediately asked the squad leader on duty about the situation.
"How's it going? Is there any trouble? ”
"Report to the platoon leader, there was a disturbance crowd passing by twenty minutes ago, and about 20 people have already left the park. I don't know if there are any troublemakers in the park. The squad leader replied truthfully.
"Okay, keep on duty."
This news does not mean anything to Dong Can.
The mob group that passed twenty minutes ago should have been dispersed near the museum, and how many mobs there are in the park of several hundred acres, the troops on duty will not know.
I walked to the front of the team and looked around, it was hazy, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
When I turned around to see the ** building, it was also black, and no one was on duty on weekend nights, let alone overtime.
In the event of such an emergency, the leaders of important departments and important positions should have arrived, or are on the way to come, and I don't know if the lights in front of the door will be on when they arrive.
Being in the dark, it was like fighting blindfolded, which made Dong Can feel bottomless.
The Nanhu Square across the road is full of crowds, once they urgently turn to tear down the fence and cross the bushes, they will rush to the ** gate in a blink of an eye.
If this potential danger cannot be resolved, then this could happen tonight.
Although the cause of this emergency is not yet clear, the organizers are about to come out, and they don't need to think about it, they must have a great relationship with the three forces, or they personally planned and commanded it.
The higher authorities did not say it explicitly, but they did not have conclusive evidence, and it did not mean that it was not the work of the three forces.
The so-called three forces refer to violent terrorist forces, separatist forces, and religious extremist forces.
They have been entrenched in the frontier for a long time, and the historical, cultural, and geopolitical factors of their formation are very complex, coupled with the frequent linkage at home and abroad in recent years, and the three forces are deeply intertwined.
Because the three forces have existed for a long time, have a wide range of influence, are difficult to eradicate, and some of them are themselves within the system, they are more troublesome to deal with.
In addition, the three forces are supported by some European and American countries and South Asian countries, and it is very convenient to use various foreign media to fabricate lies, fabricate facts, and incite overseas groups, which always makes the first person face great pressure from public opinion.
Their linkage at home and abroad has made them more passive in dealing with this situation.
It is precisely because they have a very strong ability to fabricate facts, spread rumors and slander that once they create an incident in China, take videos and photos, and hype up the matter, they will inevitably set off a new round of public opinion offensive against China.
Dong Can knew that even if there were no people from the three forces in front of him, it could not be ruled out that their long guns and short cannons had already been secretly aimed at sensitive areas, ready to record and take pictures at any time, and the city ** was a must-choose target!
Now that their guns are already aimed here, they can't fall into the trap of the other side, and when countless people rush over, the problem will become very tricky.
Whether it is blocked or not, the video and photos are transmitted to the Internet, which is big news and will definitely set off huge waves.
As a grassroots commander, Dong Can executes orders on the one hand, and it is also his power and obligation to make suggestions to his superiors.
"Report to the instructor, the crowd in the square is too close to the ** gate, if the crowd panics, it is very likely to break through the fence and pose a threat to the troops on duty. If there are saboteurs among them who incite the masses to storm the gates, we will be extremely passive. ”
Dong Can didn't think about it for too long, so he expressed his concern to the instructor Tang Wenyi through the walkie-talkie.
There was silence on the walkie-talkie for a while, and Tang asked the other side before replying: "Your worries are also my worries, but we currently have insufficient troops, so we can only deploy according to the established deployment and carry out the defense mission." ”
"But I'll report your ideas to my superiors, and I think they'll come up with a better solution to deal with this situation."
"Yes."
Tang Wenyi's answer, Dong Can was not satisfied, but the other party was a superior, and he could only obey orders.
The problem remains, and the current situation is not optimistic.
In the vicinity of the museum before, although the mob was dispersed, only twenty or thirty people were captured in uniform, and the remaining four or five hundred people all ran away, and if half of them ran into the park and continued to incite the crowd, it was not impossible to pull up three or four hundred people in a short time.
It is not difficult to imagine what it was like for three or four hundred people to chase after the unarmed masses.
Once the lives of the masses are threatened, they dare to jump into the lake in order to save their lives, let alone tear down the fence.
The squadron is scattered, and Tang Wenyi's current command is very limited, and he has to carry out such an arduous task, focusing on stability, Dong Can can understand.
But in order to complete the task of defending the city well, passive defense is obviously not possible, because the blind man never knows when the enemy will sneak attack.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles, and grasping the enemy's movements is always the basis for victory.
After a short period of thought, Dong Can decided to send a team to the park to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and wait until he had accurate information before asking for instructions.
"There are saboteurs lurking in the park, who may incite the masses at any time and storm the city. In order to avoid this situation, it is necessary for small detachments to reconnoiter and grasp the enemy's situation. ”
"Who wants to go on a reconnaissance mission?"
Dong Can's gaze swept over the faces of the team members, and in the dim night, he couldn't see their determination clearly.
There was silence, more than two dozen people, and no one spoke.
"Didn't you?" Dong Can shouted.
However, the team's answer to him was silent.
Dong Can was a little disappointed, and just as he was about to take the roll call, someone suddenly broke the silence.
"I'll go."
"Name it!"
"Second class soldier Zhang Wei!"
"Platoon commander, I'll go too."
"Good. Zou Yitian, Zhang Wei is your soldier, you two go together. ”
"Yes!"
After receiving the task, they put down their shields and were about to leave, but they saw the squad leader on duty holding a box of water, "Platoon leader, comrades have worked hard, drink a bottle of water." ”
Dong Can didn't say a word, took two bottles and handed them to Zou Yitian and Zhang Wei.
"Stay safe."
"Yes."
