Chapter 33: Extraordinary Times, Extraordinary Means
The shop is blazing, and the fire is soaring into the sky.
Under the light of the fire, smashed vehicles and shops can be seen everywhere on the street, and the goods in the store seem to have become free items, bags and hugs, which are taken away at will, no one stops, everyone only hates that they only have two hands, otherwise they can carry more free goods.
It's a riot for peace-loving people, police and armed police fighters, but it's definitely a carnival for these mobs!
For these mobs, they don't know how many times they have rehearsed this kind of scene in their hearts, they don't know how many years they have waited for this kind of opportunity, and it will be realized overnight, so naturally they can be as crazy as they want, and they can be as arrogant as they want, and they don't need to be afraid, let alone restrained.
The law does not blame the people, and the law does not hold them accountable, to tell the truth, that's what they think.
Even when the armed police force came here, they still thought so.
The armed police force that rushed to control the situation didn't care who they were, in the eyes of the armed police there were only law-abiding people and lawbreakers, this mob was mad and bold, and if they were not punished, there was no national law!
"Shape!"
"Dispel!"
Dong Can gave an order, and the soldiers of the second platoon and three squads immediately took action, the first squad rushed into battle, the second squad followed to expand the battlefield, and the third squad took cover behind the palace, like a bulldozer, and rushed directly to the place where the mob was most concentrated.
Platoon commander Dong Can had already explained to the team members that if he could not ensure his own safety, he would not be able to carry out the task of dealing with emergencies assigned by his superiors.
There have been a lot of losses and casualties before, and the superiors have already allowed the armed police soldiers to lift the ban on force, and they should go all out to deal with the mob, and they will no longer joke about their own lives
The armed police force, numbering more than 20 people, used the riot shield in their hands as a shield to resist the damage from the mob and also used it as a weapon for impact, and at the same time, the batons in their right hands were constantly waving to suppress all the mobs that appeared in front of them.
Regardless of whether the other party holds a knife or a stick, they will all be put down with a stick, and if they can't be put down, there will naturally be armed police comrades who rush up behind to make up for the knife.
In the face of the frenzied mob, the armed police fighters no longer demanded arrest.
Because no matter how many people are arrested and what sector of backbone is caught, it will become a burden to their actions, and it is even possible that they will be besieged by the mob again because of the arrest.
In contrast, although arrests can control the backbone leaders, they are far less flexible and easy to disperse and suppress mob groups.
After all, they were tasked with controlling the situation and dealing with sudden crises, not arresting criminals.
Moreover, since the higher authorities have used the mobile units of the armed police, it means that the higher authorities have judged that the situation has reached a point where it is difficult to control it by conventional means, and it is not a great deal that the mob will be killed or injured when the state force is used to carry out the task.
Extraordinary things, extraordinary times, naturally use extraordinary means.
Otherwise, why didn't the higher-ups let the police, who were also in Nanhu Square, deal with the situation near the Agricultural University?
Once it is introduced into the school, it will cause turmoil, the situation will be more tricky and more complicated, and its influence will expand unimaginable.
Once it is transmitted to the school, it is spread from school to school, and no one can afford this responsibility!
Therefore, there is no doubt that the superiors must hope that the armed police force can destroy the withering and decaying, quickly control the scene, and disperse the mob groups that are making trouble near the Agricultural University!
As for the means to be used, the higher-ups do not need to say it explicitly, and the attitude of using the armed police mobile unit has already been explained.
Although Dong Can didn't understand the twists and turns of his superiors, his political study was the same as military command training, and he didn't fall behind.
He understands that controlling the state of affairs and dispersing the mob is definitely a political task, not an administrative one.
Otherwise, the superiors will ask them to assist the police in dealing with it, rather than letting them deal with it alone.
Since it is a political task, there is no room for negotiation, and no matter what means are used, it must be accomplished to the letter.
"Carry out the task, don't be soft!"
"Within five minutes, the battle must be resolved!"
Dong Can didn't hear the mob no matter how he shouted, and at the same time, he reminded the team at any time that this was a real mission, not a drill.
The meso-shaped stormtroopers rushed through the wide streets of the mines, but all those who were in charge were brought down by shields and batons.
Those who dare to confront the armed police soldiers, whether they are holding knives or sticks, as long as they have weapons in their hands, they will be treated as dangerous elements, and they will be incapacitated in an instant, and after that, they will not know whether they will live or die.
After six or seven intermediate charges, hundreds of fairly organized mobs were routed, leaving dozens of mobs lying on the ground and others retreating.
Some took the opportunity to escape, while others simply stayed away from the armed police fighters in an attempt to avoid being dealt with.
However, armed police soldiers will not let them go just because they have withdrawn from the middle of the street and hid on the side of the street.
Without complete dispersal, the task of the armed police mobile unit will not be completed.
"Split up and chase and assemble in place in two minutes!"
At the sound of an order, the second platoon and three squads divided into three teams to disperse the pursuit, look for the mob, and disperse the suppression.
A small group of a dozen or dozens of mobs, even if they wanted to resist, was no match for a squad of armed police fighters, and often left three or two mobs behind, and then scattered in a hurry, ran into the dark streets and alleys, and disappeared.
The alleys were too dark and complicated, and the armed police soldiers knew that they were powerful, so they didn't go in at all, they only pursued the mob that was still stranded on the street.
The battlefield is one-sided, in the firelight and night, the mob runs, the armed police chase, except for the screams on the street, no longer hear the clamour, and the surrounding area returns to the quiet of the past night.
Under the unrelenting pursuit, for a short time, as far as the eye could see, there was basically no trace of the mob stranded.
The third class gathered, everyone was out of breath, and they attacked with all their strength, consuming almost all their energy and physical strength, and they really wanted to lie down and rest on the spot.
"Brothers, the stakes are very high here, even more sensitive than Nanhu Square, and no troublemakers should be allowed to linger nearby, let alone incite the masses and students."
"Until there is a new order from above, we are responsible for patrolling this area, and anyone stranded on the street must leave. In the vicinity of the school, no unidentified person is allowed to approach. ”
"Each squad is responsible for 100 meters, and there is no support, and the street patrol is non-stop!"
"Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, set off in turn!"
Although Zhang Wei and his comrades-in-arms are very tired, in the face of the task, no matter how tired they are, they must cheer up!
Each class moves quickly to take control of the area to which the class belongs.
