Chapter 7: Sniping
Now it seems that I only have two options: one is to storm and the other is to snipe.
However, neither of these options seems to be a good choice.
The first is the onslaught.
At the beginning, I only thought of trapping the gangsters on the highway bridge so that they could not escape, there are deep ravines on both sides of the highway bridge, and our armed police officers and soldiers are blocking them at both ends, and the gangsters will be unable to fly even if they have wings, right?!
But what I didn't expect was that such gangsters would not be able to escape, and at the same time, we would not be able to attack them...... The only directions that can attack are the front and back, and the gangsters can clearly understand our movements through the glass when they stand in the middle. What's more, he still has a 56 punch in his hand, and if he finds out that we are attacking, as he said, he will soon shoot the hostages in the car.
It was a 56-punch, and there were at least three or four magazines, each of which had 30 rounds, and the dozens of people in the car were not enough for him to sweep a few times.
Another option is sniping.
But as Daniel Zhang said, the gangsters are hiding in the car, because of the angle problem, it is difficult for us to see the target, not to mention that the gangsters also have a good sense of anti-sniping, and have been using the people to cover for themselves.
I have also considered using helicopter rappelling to launch a surprise attack on the gangsters, but first, the armed police company itself is not very familiar with the rappelling, and second, the rappelling raid is too dangerous, and the main danger comes from the fact that the glass doors on the windows are closed, and the outside of the car is bright and the inside of the car is dark, so that the glass window is like a mirror to the outside, and it is difficult to see the inside from the outside, but from the inside you can see the outside clearly.
In this way, even if we can descend to the height of the car window, we can not find the gangsters in time, so the gangsters have the first opportunity. This is undoubtedly dangerous for both the people and the armed police soldiers.
Maybe we have another option. That is to agree to the gangster's request to let him go.
On the surface, this may seem like a good choice. At least we don't have to face the problem of the death of the hostages right away, and even if the gangsters show mercy, the best outcome is that the gangsters run away alone, and the other hostages are out of danger.
Some people may think that the gangsters can be arrested again after they run away, and the most important thing is to keep the hostages safe first.
However, in fact, the problem cannot be said in this way, and many countries have realized that they must not meet the demands of the gangsters, even if it is the safety of the hostages, even if it is the life of the hostages.
The reason is simple, if the gangsters' demands are met now, the safety of the hostages is now guaranteed. But it will have a very bad impact on society, and other gangsters can't even be regarded as gangsters...... There is also such a good thing, as long as you hijack a car and capture a few hostages, and then give whatever you want, the government will give you anything, so they follow suit. The end result is that the security of a small part of the current hostages has been exchanged for the insecurity of more hostages in society as a whole.
If, on the other hand, the government takes a tough stance, then other gangsters or those who are preparing to do so will see it and understand that it is useless to do so, so they will stop thinking about it. And so it goes. The insecurity of a small part of the current hostages is exchanged for the safety of more potential hostages in the whole society.
Which of the two is better or worse? In fact, you don't have to think about it, as long as you understand it, you will know the answer.
The problem is that we can't do it so simply when we really face this situation, because we are dealing with a living life, and we always want to do our best to save one by one.
Just when I was in a hurry, there was a new movement in the direction of the bus...... One by one, dozens of hostages stood up and leaned against the window with their hands outstretched. It is clear that they were forced to do so by the gangsters.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but secretly say that the gangsters would not have to worry about the hostages resisting, and they could also worry less about the threat from outside the car...... There are hostages blocking the car window, and if you have the ability, you can shoot at the hostages!
However, there are pros and cons to everything, and I suddenly thought that doing so would be fatal to the gangsters, so I immediately gave Daniel Zhang a series of orders and asked the helicopter to lower the rope ladder and transport me to the other side of the bridge.
For example, now, I can easily and quickly use the helicopter to move my position on such terrain, otherwise ten minutes will not be enough.
The helicopter hoisted me down at the bend in the opposite road, where a military car was already waiting for me, and without saying a word, I climbed into the back of the car, took the 79 sniper frame handed by the sniper, put it on the sandbag, and made some minor adjustments.
These are all orders I have just given, and although the armed police company at this time is a little helpless in the face of this unexpected situation, it is still possible to ask them to arrange a military vehicle and prepare sandbags and a sniper rifle in the rear compartment. After all, these are just small things, and the habit of being a soldier is to move quickly.
When I was ready, I ordered the walkie-talkie: "Report the situation to each unit!" ”
"Number two is in place! Good sight! ”
"Number three is in place! Good sight! ”
……
There wasn't just me as the sniper around the corner, there were four of them, and I wasn't sure where the gangsters would be, so I couldn't go wrong with a few more snipers.
But then again, the reason why I chose this sniper position on the highway, that is, facing the front of the bus, is because I know that most of the gangsters will be in the front of the car.
The reason is very simple, people have such a weakness, when they are nervous and scared, they always want to be able to understand the situation around them at the first time, which can also be said to be human instinct.
In other words, once the car is driven, the gangsters will naturally move to the front of the car and look in the direction of the bus.
Of course, at this time, he will still be very careful to use the hostages as cover, but I have another plan for this.
"Deputy Director Xie!" After receiving a response from the snipers at the ready, I ordered, "It's time to go!" ”
"Yes!" Deputy Director Xie responded, and immediately raised the microphone and shouted at the bus: "Zhao Xiaoping, don't mess around, the superiors have decided to agree to your request, you can go, but you must ensure the safety of the hostages, if you shoot at the hostages again, then we have no choice but to attack!" ”
As he spoke, he shouted through the loudspeaker and ordered the cars and armed police in front of the bus to get out of the way and clear the roadblocks.
The gangsters didn't believe that this qiē was true at first, in fact, anyone would be surprised in this situation, originally thought that they were dead, but they didn't expect that there would be a way to survive so easily, so they naturally became suspicious.
But the gangster has no choice, he can only believe in this way, otherwise what else can he ask? Do you want the armed police around him to commit collective suicide to completely reassure him?
So in the end, the bus slowly drove forward under the eyes and guns of the armed police soldiers, perhaps because it was found that the armed police really did not catch up and did not have the intention of intercepting, and the bus quickly accelerated and rushed forward.
But the good times didn't last long, and the bus didn't have to run on the road for a sudden brake at the corner...... For no other reason, there was a log on the road in front of the bend.
Of course, this was also my arrangement, because the log was horizontal in the corner, so the driver of the bus was already nervous when he found it, so he subconsciously had to slam on the brakes at the same time.
This changed the situation, that is, I finally found the gangsters hiding in the hostages, because all the hostages were holding their hands against the window, because they were not mentally prepared and did not have anything to rely on to stabilize their center of gravity...... Everyone raised their hands, so this sudden brake made them stagger, and there was only one exception for one person, that is, the gangsters who didn't have to raise their hands!
When I found him, he was holding the seat next to him with both hands to prevent himself from falling, and even the 56 Chong in his hand was held up to the sky...... It was a knee-jerk action, so he didn't rush to think about whether he should do it or not.
This Zhao Xiaoping was obviously a smart person, because he soon found that there was a car not far in front of him, and the back compartment of this car was stacked with sandbags that he was familiar with, and what made him even more terrifying was that there was a gun on this sandbag, a high-precision sniper rifle, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at him.
He quickly realized that he was wrong, and that he should have fallen to the ground by the inertia of the brakes like everyone else.
He did it the next second, but unfortunately it was too late......
"Bang!" With a bang, I pulled the trigger with my index finger and the bullet came out of my disembowel.
The target is only about 30 meters away from me, and there are two reasons why I want to set such a close distance, one is that this is at the corner of the road, and the target can't find my storage zài at all when turning this corner, so if I can get closer, it will be good for me to successfully snipe the target.
The second is that the bullet must pass through the glass before hitting the target, and I am worried that if the distance is too far, if it misses the target or kills it with one shot, the consequences will be quite severe.
Although I know that even if there is any loss, I can't blame me, and no one can control the situation 100% in this situation, but I can't pass this hurdle on my conscience...... If I hadn't fired this shot and led innocent people to die as a result, then I think it would have cast a shadow on me in the rest of my military career.
Fortunately, the bullet penetrated the front windshield of the car very smoothly, and then hit the target in the chest very hard.
Because this was a secondary kill, the bullet made a large hole in its chest, and the inertia of the bullet flew fiercely to the back seat with the gangster and fell to the ground.
He's still alive, but only for the sake of convulsions on the ground! (To be continued......)
