Chapter 280: The Subway Station Incident (2)
A subway station usually has multiple entrances and exits to make it easier for pedestrians to enter the station without crossing the road. In metro stations with multi-line intersections, there are often multiple floors, and metro stations are generally divided into lobbies and platforms. For the convenience of passengers, elevators, stairs and lifts are generally installed between the concourse and the platform, and there are even motorized horizontal walkways in metro stations with larger spans. The ticket gates of subway stations are generally located in the concourse.
At stations on some metro lines, especially those with fully automated trains, platforms are often equipped with platform curtain doors, which not only prevent the loss of air conditioning from the platform, but also prevent passengers from committing suicide or accidents by jumping off the rails. In the hall or platform aisle, it is generally used as a passenger to transfer to other trains.
Now there are a large number of people watching the road section where the incident occurred, and a cordon has been set up at the entrances and exits of the Xinmin Road subway station to prevent pedestrians from approaching, and a number of SWAT police cars and ambulances have been parked at 3 of them. The subway on this section of the line is temporarily suspended, and the surrounding area is closed.
Normally, in a hostage-taking incident, the hostage-taker may develop an emotional or psychological disorder. The specific reasons for the hostage-taking may be irrational, and the hijackers may also be suicidal. In such hostage-taking incidents, there is usually some kind of relationship between the hostage and the hostage-taker. Such events are usually unpremeditated.
Some criminals use innocent onlookers as human shields to evade police pursuit. This mostly happens when catching criminals. The criminals took hostages in a panic in an attempt to escape under their cover. In rare cases, hostages are part of an action plan for career offenders to assist them in escaping. But hostage-taking is usually not deliberate.
According to what I learned about hostage-taking incidents, the first thing to do after an incident is to stall for time, and the longer the hostage-taking incident drags on, the more likely it is that it will be resolved peacefully. Delaying tactics include asking for advice from superiors, delaying deadlines, and diverting the hijacker's attention to minutiae such as what type of aircraft they need. Also, ask open-ended questions, which are questions that cannot be answered with a "yes" or "no" alone.
Persuade the hijackers to agree to treat or release wounded or sick hostages, negotiate with the hijackers about the delivery of food and water, and negotiate the release of as many hostages as possible. Rescuing the hostages from the scene of the hijacking not only guarantees their safety, but also alleviates the complications of the scene when an armed attack is necessary. In addition to this, the rescued hostages can provide valuable information, including the location and habits of the hijackers, as well as the condition of other hostages.
From the initial hostage-taking to the negotiations that lasted for hours, the mood swings of the hijackers were extremely high during this time. They are often angry at what they feel is unfair and that leads them to take hostages. Not only that, but after the hostage-taking, they will be in a state of euphoria. An angry, agitated criminal with a murder weapon in his hand is quite dangerous for the hostages. Negotiators must never argue with the hijackers, nor can they say "no" to their demands, but should employ delaying tactics or bargain with them. Most importantly, the negotiator must maintain a positive, optimistic attitude and convince the hijacker that in the end everything can be resolved peacefully.
We are coming to the floor plan of this subway station, which is basically the same as a regular subway station, so in this operation, the command team is responsible for attracting the attention of criminals, covering the sniper team in the lobby to find a favorable sniper point, and the rest of the teams are ready to enter in the reverse direction from another exit of this subway station, from the underground track, in both directions, just in case! Because, judging from the current situation, we can't bother to investigate what the specific cause of this hostage-taking incident is for the time being, because the hostages can't afford to wait, what we have to do now is to shoot the criminals, and then rush in to rescue the hostages!
The leader of the command group quickly marked a few points on the floor plan, and then pointed at us separately, and each of our teams nodded in turn.
"It's all right, the sniper team solves target 1, and the rest of the team solves target 2." The leader of the command team asked us after identifying the two criminals. The so-called No. 1 target is the one holding the fruit knife on the student's neck, and the No. 2 target is the one holding the fruit knife to intimidate and kidnap the remaining nine students.
"Report! At such a close distance, after the criminals are killed, it is bound to have a serious psychological impact on the hostages, and I don't want to save a student who only has nightmares all day long. The "Night Vulture" lowered its head and thought for a while, then made a report.
"I'd rather save a living person with a nightmare than see a corpse with no vital signs!" The leader of the command team looked at the picture in the monitor, and suddenly said loudly, such a sound really surprised us for a while, after all, we have been together for so long, and have performed so many tasks, and we have never seen him like this.
After a long exhalation, the leader of the command group lowered his head, then raised himself again and said to the "Night Vulture": "I'm sorry, I ...... I'll explain it to you later, but let's see what you think. ”
"Flash detonation bombs! Just like in the previous inrush identification operation. The Night Vulture nodded, then spoke to the leader of the command group.
"Well, what you said, I also thought about it before, criminals hide behind the hostages, if they use flash detonation bombs, they must be very close to the hostages, and if they don't do well, they will also hurt the hostages, so that although they can bring as little psychological damage to the hostages as possible, substantial damage may also be inevitable." The leader of the command group patted the "Night Vulture" on the shoulder.
"Let's listen to the opinions of the hostages' parents." Another member of the command team gestured in the direction of the hostage's parent behind him.
Hearing this, the leader of the command group and the "Night Vulture" also nodded in approval.
Later, after communicating with the parents of the hostages taken by Target No. 1, they still chose the plan proposed by the "Night Vulture" to flash detonation bombs, after all, the damage caused by flash detonation bombs is indeed there, but it can be cured by basic medical care, but psychological trauma is difficult to heal.
After we submitted the battle plan, it was also approved, and the battle was officially prepared.
This battle to rescue the hostages seems to be really long, but in fact, the real battle time is only a short minute or two.
......
"Don't come here! I'll kill him if you come over again!" If you want me to die, then I'll take them to the funeral together! The two members of the command team walked slowly towards the No. 1 and No. 2 targets, taking off their equipment and unbuttoning their combat uniforms as they walked, signaling and proving to the two criminals that they were not carrying any weapons and equipment.
"Friend, you say, why do you have to kidnap these children? If you are dissatisfied, you tell me, I will find a way to solve it for you, you see, these are just children, I will exchange them, at the very least, I still have a bit of weight in my words, you hold these children, it is really useless. The leader of the command team said as he walked slowly towards Target One.
"Stand back! Back off! You...... You go further, I'm ...... I'll just ...... I'll kill him, yes, kill him, you, and you, you all want to kill me, you all want to kill me, hahaha, hahahaha, that's good, then everyone will die together, come on, stand back, stand back! Seeing the leader of the command team walking slowly towards him, he suddenly began to become excited, but, obviously, his spirit was already deranged, and he spoke a little incoherently, and even slashed at the air around him several times with his sword.
"Good, good! Don't get excited, I'll retreat, I'll retreat, but, don't get excited, no one wants to kill you here, I just want to help you, you say, what do you want? The leader of the command team suddenly became agitated when he saw Target 1, and then hurriedly took two steps back and said to the criminals of Target 1.
"The sniper team is in place, the range is good, and it is ready to fire at any time." At this moment, the call of a sniper team came from the headset.
"Wait for the assault team to flash the stun bomb." The leader of the command team replied to the headset quietly, but such a subtle movement was still discovered by the criminal who had fallen into a hallucination.
"You just now, you ...... Who were you talking to, no, you ...... You're just going to kill me! You...... You stand back! You...... You're just going to kill me! The fruit knife in the hands of Target 1 was swung forward a few more times, and then immediately rested on the hostage's neck.
Seeing this, the leader of the command group once again took two steps back: "You read it wrong, I didn't talk to others......"
On the other hand, the criminals of Target 2 are in a similar situation, and the hallucinations he has after taking drugs have also caused him to fall into a delusion of victimization.
"The assault team is in position!"
"The reconnaissance team is in place!"
Soon, the voices of two groups finally came from the headset.
"After five seconds, the flash detonation grenades will be thrown at the same time. Now the countdown begins! Five! Four! Three! Two! One! ”
As the countdown ended, a flash detonation grenade was thrown, followed by a "Bang! The Night Vulture opened fire, and at that moment, the other groups rushed out from various positions with the sound of gunfire......
