Chapter VIII Tactical Reform
The battle ended when the gangsters were killed.
Perhaps because they were too scared, or because they were worried that the gangsters were not dead, no one in the car had gotten out of the car until this time, and they didn't even dare to shout loudly, only bursts of sobbing.
The armed police fighters who had been lurking on both sides of the bus for a long time were not slow, and the moment I opened fire, they jumped up from the bunkers on both sides of the road and pounced on the bus.
In fact, this is also one of my pre-arrangement, because when I pull the trigger and fire a bullet, they have to take action regardless of whether the bullet hits the gangster or not.
If it hits, it is best, and the armed police fighters can quickly control the situation and prevent the gangsters from detonating grenades or something before they die.
If they don't hit, then their task is to rush in and fight the gangsters. Of course, this process will definitely lead to some casualties of the hostages, but there is no way to do it.
Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not happen, and the armed police soldiers quickly took control of the situation.
Then Daniel Zhang's report came from the walkie-talkie: "Battalion commander, the gangster is seriously injured, and he is about to die!" ”
"Hmm!" I didn't relax until I heard this, I didn't move until now, just because I was worried that the gangster might jump up again or make some moves.
Relieved, I casually threw my rifle to the sniper next to me, and I jumped out of the car and trotted all the way to the bus.
As soon as I stepped into the bus, I saw a shocking bright red everywhere, and everywhere I could see people lying on the ground, more or less stained with blood. It's a mess, and I don't know which one is dead, which one is injured, and which one is okay. They all looked at us with horror.
glanced at the gangsters who were still twitching at the front of the car. I said to the people, "You are safe, because the doors are crowded, and it is inconvenient for us to carry you out of the car one by one, and those who are not injured and can walk are queuing up to get off!" ”
However, I obviously overestimated the self-control of these frightened people, and as soon as they heard that they were safe, they rushed to the car door in a hurry, and the cries and cries for help suddenly erupted.
But they can't be blamed for this, they are all people who live in a peaceful world, and when have they ever seen such a scene. It's good not to be scared out of the disease.
After getting out of the car with kinetic energy, those who remain in the car are those who can't move. The next second, the military doctor walked into the car to check on them, and then carried some people who were still alive out of the car for rescue, but the military doctor only picked out three ......
Then Daniel Zhang came to me and reported in a heavy tone: "Battalion commander, twelve people are dead and three are wounded!" ”
"Hmm!" I nodded.
"Among them......" Daniel Zhang was a little difficult to say: "Eight people died at the hands of gangsters!" ”
"Hmm!" I turned grimaced and said, "That means we killed four people and wounded three!" ”
"Yes." Daniel Zhang nodded awkwardly.
"It's good to have this result!" At this time, Deputy Director Xie walked in and said: "Considering that the gangsters fired indiscriminately at that time, the armed police soldiers fought back or planned to stop the gangsters from hurting people. But the bullets don't have long eyes, and the car is full of people. It's inevitable to get a few injuries by mistake! Battalion Commander Yang, you should think that we have rescued a total of twenty-seven hostages, this is already a big victory, don't ask too much of yourself! ”
I just shook my head helplessly, maybe Deputy Director Xie is right, for people in this era, it is good to be able to achieve such results in this situation, but it is far from enough for me.
But this time it wasn't without any benefits, at least it made me realize that it was not enough for the armed police company to continue training according to the existing training subjects.
"Back to base!" I squeezed a few words out between my teeth.
"Battalion commander!" Daniel Zhang looked at the gangster who was still twitching at the front of the car and said, "That...... What did he do? ”
Deputy Director Xie raised his head and said, "Why do you care about him so much?" If you're dead, there's one less scourge! ”
"No!" I blushed and said, "Let the military doctor bandage him, and let him live as long as he can!" ”
Hearing this, Deputy Director Xie couldn't help but be stunned, but then quickly understood my real intention in doing this.
"We made a mistake!" After returning to the base, I said to the cadres in front of me at the work summary meeting: "We always thought that there was not much difference between the armed police force and the ordinary army, so we trained the armed police force according to the same subjects as the ordinary army, but now the facts tell us that this is obviously a problem!" In this battle, we faced only one gangster, but our side paid the price of killing 12 civilians, wounding 3 civilians, and wounding 4 armed police soldiers! Some of them died at the hands of our own.
Although we finally succeeded in subduing the gangsters and controlling the situation, the casualty ratio was too asymmetrical! ”
"Battalion commander!" At this time, a cadre interjected with some disbelief: "It's unfair to our armed police company to say this, the gangsters have hostages in their hands, and we throw rat traps, just like tying hands and feet to fight with the gangsters!" ”
"You're right!" I said, "It's true that we're fighting gangsters with our hands and feet, and that's really unfair, but have you ever seen a really fair battlefield?" Can you tell the enemy and the gangsters fair? ”
As soon as I said this, the fighters were all silent, and it is true, the real problem is this unfair situation, and all we can think about is how to solve it, and only how to do better in this situation, instead of complaining about whether it will be fair!
It's similar to fighting on the battlefield.
"Battalion commander!" After being silent for a long time, Zhao Jingping said with some embarrassment: "We also know that we didn't fight well in this battle, and we also understand that there is a problem with training, but ...... We don't have a clue how to train such a force! ”
Zhao Jingping's words are to the point, the purpose of this armed police company trained by our synthetic battalion is to find problems and then solve them, and now the problem has been discovered, but how to solve it?
After thinking about it, I said: "First of all, we must cultivate the awareness of the armed police company to pay attention to the safety of hostages!" Just like the cousins of many fighters in this battle, when they saw the target shooting, they blindly shot at the target without regard for the safety of the hostages or even their own safety...... I can understand this, the soldiers are all soldiers who have come over, and many of them have even come down from the battlefield, or have fought with the Yue devils. We can indeed have a good time on the battlefield, and we will return fire when the enemy shoots, but now as an armed police soldier, it is different, and this thinking will be changed. The reason is simple, it is hostage! ”
"The battalion commander is right!" The instructor continued: "As an armed police soldier, the difference between me and an ordinary soldier is that when we fight on the battlefield, we are facing a large-scale, recognizable enemy, which is on the border, and even inside the enemy to protect the safety of the people, so we don't have to worry about fighting."
However, the armed police force is on our own land, and it is close and direct to protect the safety of the people, and even our target is the 'enemy', which can also be said to be our own people, which makes the problem even more complicated, if we are not careful, it is very likely to cause a very bad impact on society, for example, the people will not understand that we have accidentally injured the hostages, and will destroy the relationship between the military and the people in a great way. Comrades, we are the people's troops, and the masses of the people are our foundation, especially now, our army is actively improving its image in the hearts of the people, and if it has caused a negative impact among the people at this time, it will not only be a tactical failure, but also a strategic and political failure! ”
I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and secretly said that this instructor is really worthy of engaging in ideological work, and looking at problems is profound.
"As for how to solve this problem!" I continued with the instructor's words: "Actually, it is not difficult, plus a hostage rescue subject, we can do our own to build a base for actual combat exercises, this base can be a variety of environments, such as buildings, jungles, cars, etc., a place in life and society where hostage-taking may occur can be our simulated environment." Then set up some half-body targets or full-body targets in it, these targets have hostages and gangsters, and these targets randomly pop up where they may appear, so that on the one hand, we can enhance our awareness of the safety of hostages, and on the other hand, we can also train our resilience! ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw that the cadres in the audience nodded one after another, saying that this was a simple and practical method.
It's a good idea, of course, but it's not something I came up with...... Nowadays, there are a lot of similar shots like this on TV and movies, and I didn't use this method before, but I just didn't think about it.
"Secondly!" I said, "We need to completely change the tactics of the armed police force!" With regard to the training of the armed police force, we must change the thinking and tactics of killing and injuring the enemy on a large scale and in a large area on the battlefield, and replace it with differential treatment and precision strikes. That is, to fight hostages who can not be found among many gangsters, or only gangsters among many hostages.
It's not easy to do that, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. To do this, we need to use a variety of means to accurately obtain information about hostages and gangsters before attacking, such as sniper observations, reports, and summarizations, and electronic devices for observation. When attacking, more special means such as flashbangs, smoke bombs, and tear gas are used to temporarily lose the ability of the gangsters to fight, etc., in short, in a word, fight a surgical battle!
