Chapter 4 Search
"The murderer has disappeared for more than a year since he fled!" Deputy Director Xie continued: "It wasn't until last night that we just got a report that the murderer appeared at home, because it was suspected that the murderer might be carrying a Type 56 submachine gun, so we ......."
Needless to say, I think Deputy Director Xie's consideration is not only that the murderer may carry a submachine gun, but also that he has mobilized more than 80,000 people last time but failed to stop the murderer.
"Hmm!" I thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "Let the armed police connect!" ”
This is actually nothing to discuss, the armed police company itself needs a combination of training and practice, and at first I was reluctant to do so just because at first glance this case seems too simple...... The murderer only has one person and one gun, even if he has a 56 punch in his hand, it is only a small matter for us, which has to be dealt with by a company of our armed police, which is a bit of a knife to kill chickens.
Later, I learned that there is actually a problem with this kind of thinking, that internal security is different from external wars, and that foreign wars are indeed about the comparison of forces with firepower, because the goal is clear, and the enemy has a company stationed on a high ground, and if we want to seize this high ground, we will need almost two companies.
But this is not the case with internal security, where the target is often only one or a few people, and it is rare to see so many dozen people, unless it is a gang, of course. However, these people are mixed among the people, unlike the soldiers on the battlefield, most of them can be identified by military uniforms, language, etc., so in fact, the focus is not "whether you can fight or not", but "whether you can find it". Just like Deputy Director Xie said about the last round-up of the murderer. More than 80,000 people could not beat a single person. Even if the murderer has 56 punches in his hand, it's the same. The problem is that these more than 80,000 people are looking for this person as if they are looking for a needle in a haystack, on the one hand, their location cannot be determined, and on the other hand, the forces are too dispersed, so that the suspect can take advantage of the loopholes.
It is precisely because I heard from Deputy Director Xie that more than 80,000 people failed to successfully arrest the murderer last time, so I realized that this task is not as simple as I thought, so it is also necessary to pull out the armed police company for them to refine, or this is also to see what problems they have in the actual implementation of the task, so as to further improve their training.
For the purpose of performing the task is to find the problem. Therefore, this time it was not only the armed police company that was dispatched, but also the entire staff headquarters led by me.
"What's the name of the murderer?" I was on the helicopter and asked Deputy Director Xie, "How did he escape last time?" ”
"The murderer's name is Zhao Xiaoping, male, 23 years old!" Deputy Director Xie replied while handing me the photo of the murderer: "He can drive a car, and last time he used this to mislead our search team, he hijacked a tricycle carrying passengers and drove it onto the highway, so that we used most of the police force on the highway, but he pushed the tricycle into the river halfway to hide, and then drove dozens of kilometers from the mountain road overnight to jump out of our encirclement!" ”
I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, this guy will still use his voice to hit the west. And he also drove dozens of kilometers of mountain roads overnight.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being a soldier, and this psychological element and physical element are obviously not possessed by ordinary people. It's no wonder that more than 80,000 people can't surround him.
More than half an hour later, the helicopter landed on the playground of the provincial middle school with the armed police company.
The reason why we chose to land on the playground of the provincial middle school is because our helicopter group is too large...... More than 200 people of the company were divided into 15 helicopters, with an average of 15 people per helicopter.
The reason why a helicopter can carry 15 people is that the armed police company is all lightly armed, and the helicopter does not carry weapons, so it can carry as many people as it can fit into the helicopter.
As a result, fifteen helicopters can carry more than 200 people from the armed police company around at a time, and the problem is that the space of the Zhiwu is a little smaller, and the cabin is a little crowded, but I believe that with the deepening of the training, this space will become more and more spacious.
As soon as the helicopter lands, it becomes a problem.
Landing outside the city, it will be too far from the target, not to mention the waste of time, in case there is an emergency to use a helicopter.
It is difficult to find such a large open space when landing in the city, and there are indeed squares and the like, but there are too many pedestrians, hawkers, etc., so many helicopters will inevitably cause a sensation or even an accident when they descend in one mind.
After some discussion, Deputy Director Xie thought that middle school was a good choice...... The wide, flat playground is perfect for helicopter take-off and landing, and students are relatively easy to organise compared to pedestrians and vendors, just notify the school and let the teacher restrain the students to the class.
As Deputy Director Xie said, when we came to the No. 1 Middle School in the provincial capital, the huge playground was empty, and the teachers had already been notified to take the students back to class. Even for the safety of students, a long cordon was set up outside the playground, and several public security officers in white uniforms patrolled back and forth on the cordon.
When a group of fifteen helicopters landed on the playground with a "whirring" sound, the students in the entire school building turned their curious eyes in our direction, even the teachers.
However, this is understandable, although it is a time of war, but our guns and cannons are only more common in the border area, and the peaceful world is more only heard, not to mention that they are still seeing fifteen helicopters full of heavily armed soldiers.
"How's it going?" As soon as he stepped off the helicopter, Deputy Director Xie asked the public security officers who came to greet him.
"Deputy Director!" The public security officer followed us closely and replied: "We just received information that Zhao Xiaoping hijacked another tricycle!" ”
Deputy Director Xie couldn't help but pause, and turned back in surprise and asked, "This trick again?" ”
"Yes!" The police nodded.
Because of the urgency of the war, everyone didn't say much, and they took a few military vehicles that had been prepared and drove towards the outside of the school.
In the jeep, Deputy Director Xie unfolded the map and said to me: "I don't know if this Zhao Xiaoping is a fool or what, his actions this time are exactly the same as the last time!" ”
"You mean hijacked the tricycle?" I asked.
"Yes!" Deputy Director Xie pointed to the map and said: "The murderer's trick seems simple but difficult to deal with, he hijacked the tricycle along the provincial road to the south, there are many mountain roads to walk on this road, and the murderer will definitely use some method to hide the tricycle when he abandons the car and walks, that is to say, we don't know which mountain road the murderer will enter, so each mountain road needs to be tracked and investigated by the police, which undoubtedly disperses our forces and increases the difficulty of pursuit!" ”
"Hmm!" I nodded, what Deputy Director Xie said made sense, this seemed to be a tried and tested method, but I felt that things would not be as simple as Deputy Director Xie thought.
"Last time, did the murderer escape during the day or at night?" I asked.
"Evening!" Deputy Director Xie replied without thinking about it.
"And now it's daylight!" I say.
Battalion Commander Yang meant...... "Deputy Director Xie is also a smart person, and he knows that there is something to be said about me."
"If it's at night, it works great!" I said, "Because the murderer pushed the tricycle down the river wherever he wanted, it would be very difficult for us to find out." But now it is daytime, on the one hand, there is a lot of traffic on the road, and the murderer is easily spotted by passers-by when he pushes the car down the river. On the other hand, during the day, we can also track the car through the tire prints, etc., it is not difficult to find the location where the murderer abandoned the car, and finding the abandoned car point means that we have found the mountain road that the murderer entered, so it will be much easier to catch up with the murderer! What's more, he has already used this method last time, so we will naturally be prepared this time. ”
"What Battalion Commander Yang said makes sense!" Deputy Director Xie nodded: "Then why did the murderer do this?" ”
"I don't know!" I said, "Let's find the murderer's abandoned car first!" ”
"Hmm!" Deputy Director Xie nodded, urging the driver to speed up, and the jeep with several military vehicles chased all the way to the route where the murderer had fled under the guidance of five helicopters.
Originally, if the news was timely enough, I don't think the murderer would have had time to abandon the car and escape...... We have a helicopter, and it turns and goes uphill on the ground, and our helicopter catches up with it.
It's just that the lag in the news of this era is unimaginable to me, a modern person, let alone us, and the public security bureau received the information an hour later.
Needless to say, the reason for this situation is that the communication equipment is backward...... In modern times, everyone has a mobile phone plus public telephones everywhere on the street, and in this era, it would be good for a village to have a telephone, even if it is not easy to find a public phone in this provincial city, so the people have to run to the public security bureau to call the police, so it has been more than an hour when the public security officers ask about the situation.
By the time we arrived, it had been two hours since the murderer had taken the car and escaped.
The first thing we did was to send a helicopter to search for it, which is fast, especially for mountain roads, which would take a few hours for ordinary people to walk away.
It's just that I believe that the helicopter search will not get a good effect, because if you look down from the air, you will indeed see people or cars, but there are countless people and cars below, and who can determine which one is the murderer.
Therefore, the helicopter is more used as an auxiliary tool and means of transportation at this time, and it still depends more on the ground search. (To be continued......)
