467 Serious cases against terrorism
When Ho Ting-yin arrived at the scene, the airport had been blocked by more than 300 police officers, with Wang Zhe, senior assistant director of the Kowloon District, as the commander-in-chief, and 50 police officers holding guns in both hands, aiming at the entrance and exit in front of the tarmac.
A Boeing parlor was parked alone in the berth, the front cabin door had been opened, and a British superintendent was negotiating with the criminals.
"Ho sir."
Inspector Huo Qilin, wearing a white shirt, strode forward: "There were six robbers on the plane, armed with AK rifles, and a total of 67 hostages. β
"This flight is a redirect route from the Philippines to Hong Kong Island, and 35 of the 67 people are Chinese, and the remaining 19 are British."
"There are also thirteen expatriates, including the United States, France, Singapore, and the Philippines."
He Dingxian nodded, his eyes glanced around the scene, and his first thought was not how to solve the criminals, but how to use this incident to achieve political goals.
First, the hijacking incident was an international incident with a huge political impact; second, the incident happened suddenly, and the military did not have an order from the ancestors, so the garrison could not be dispatched; third, the plane landed in Kowloon District, and the overall responsibility should be assigned to Kowloon.
Although the military has been acting as the actual controlling party and monitoring and leading this incident, as long as the Hong Kong government does not enter a state of emergency, the military can only provide intelligence support and cannot deploy troops out of the station.
The Hong Kong government's mobilization of troops for the sake of a hijacking incident will appear to be in a big way and lack police force.
It seems that this incident can easily achieve the political goal of establishing a special forces, and God is indeed the best director, an unexpected hijacking incident sounded the horn for the police force's counterattack.
This is not that the police force has to rely on coincidence to win a city, but that the police force is responsible for public safety and the handling of emergencies.
If the hijacking does not take place, there will still be other activities that will prompt the Force to strengthen its equipment and enhance its force, which will be the reason for the Force establishment. Historically, it was on March 13, 71 that a Philippine national love air plane was hijacked and landed on Hong Kong Island, and the Hong Kong police finally decided to set up a special forces and mobile force "Special Mission Company" due to insufficient disposal forces, and the Flying Tigers were the title given by the people.
He Dingxian just wants to promote the early establishment of the Special Task Company, and before the establishment of the ICAC, he will hold a new gun in his hand!
Unexpectedly, the reasons, opportunities, and events all collided!
He has some secret luck in his heart, sure enough, self-helpers, God helps, sometimes it takes a little luck to succeed, the right way to go, twice the result with half the effort.
"Where's Inspector General Hua of Kowloon?" He retracted his gaze, stared at the fire qilin and said: "The matter happened in the Kowloon District, the heads of various departments should be in place as soon as possible, if there is any accident, I can't protect you!" β
The fire qilin's heart itself was empty, and when he heard the chief's scolding, he immediately saluted in a panic and stomped his feet: "Lei sir is on his way over." β
"Hmph."
He Dingxian snorted coldly, turned around and beckoned to Chen Zichao, Chen Zichao hurriedly stepped forward: "He sir, the snipers have been arranged, the three stormtroopers have been formed, and they can start acting at any time." β
"Wait for my news."
"This time, we have to rely on the Serious Crime Team." He Dingxian patted Chen Zichao on the shoulder, and stayed in Daguan to serve, just to hold the elite soldier in his hand and be able to take it out at a critical moment.

Chen Zichao stood up and saluted.
The fire unicorn bowed beside him and followed humbly.
"Sir Wang."
Ho Ting-yin came to shake hands with the Kowloon district leader.
Wang Zhe saw that he arrived with the serious crime team, his expression was much more satisfied, but his eyes were a little complicated, and he said straightforwardly: "I handed over the scene to you, can it be done in an hour?" β
"Yes."
He Dingxian pondered for two seconds and immediately agreed, and was surprised by Wang Zhe's refreshment.
As everyone knows, Wang Zhe is also a good person in politics, and he has already linked the dynamics of Chinese police officers with the hijacking incident, otherwise, how could things be so coincidental? Xie Ling still needs to be Lingren, and it will only be best to hand over the action to him.
"Okay."
"From now on, the on-site command will be handed over to He Sir, and all departments will report directly to He Sir." Wang Zhe didn't want to be responsible for this matter, so he announced to the people present in public: "Everything is to rescue the hostages as the highest goal!" β
"Now, the international community is very concerned about this incident, and the outcome of the case is related to the reputation of Hong Kong."
Although the news has not yet appeared in the newspapers and the citizens have not received the news, the flight information is internationally public, and the hijacking incident has long been spread throughout the world. The entrance of Kai Tak Airport has been blocked by a large number of television, newspaper and radio reporters, and more than 100 uniformed police officers have been deployed to maintain the cordon.

He Dingxian stood up and saluted very formally, watched Wang Zhe walk to a chair in the corner and sit down, and turned his head to look at the British superintendent who was negotiating with the robbers in front: "Tell me more about the situation in the plane." β
"There are 90 seats on the plane, 60 passengers and 7 crew members, including two American pilots." The superintendent was wearing a uniform, dressed in white skin, with a stubble beard, and his eyes were full of intelligence, and he said eloquently: "The six robbers, all of them are Americans, and the bandit leader has a tattoo on his neck, which has been confirmed to be the number of the special forces. β
"When I was on the plane, I also saw them use military gestures to communicate, and the robbers most likely served in the army, and they were a special squad in formation."
He Dingxian lit a cigarette and stood in the circle of police officers, with a solemn expression, already knowing that today was a bloody battle. This may also be the most militarily qualified and capable bandit that the Serious Crime Unit has faced since its establishment.
"Ho sir."
"Coffee."
A British female inspector wears a hip-hugging skirt and hands over a cup of iced coffee.
When He Dingxian saw the coffee cup, his pupils were full of surprise, but the ghost police officers turned a blind eye and took it for granted, which showed the ghost's ability to do things.
Seeing this, Ho Ting-yin also took the coffee cup, took a big sip, and returned it directly to the female inspector, and then signaled the superintendent to continue.
The superintendent said: "The robbers offered a ransom of $500,000 and filled the plane with fuel, demanding that it be collected within two hours, and a hostage would be killed ten minutes later." β
"The point is that the robbers will use the in-flight radio, and the shouting can be intercepted by civilian radios, and it is likely that the conditions have been known to the outside world."
This is a subtle reminder to pay attention to public opinion, which shows that there are smart people among the robbers who know how to use public channels to exert pressure on the Hong Kong government. The reason for the frequent occurrence of KB operations in the Cold War was, firstly, because of the tense world situation, and the political purpose behind many activities, and secondly, because of the imitation effect, many people who had received military training or were simply reckless turned into professional bandits. Third, the anti-terrorism system is not perfect at this stage, resulting in the spread effect of many activities, which occur once in one area and may occur in another.
However, the Philippines is indeed a country with extremely poor law and order, not only with political chaos, but also with rampant banditry. There have been no less than ten hijackings in history, the most in Asia, and there were two in 71 years, and this one on Hong Kong Island is just an appetizer.
"The Hong Kong Island police will never bow down to criminals." He Dingxian pinched his cigarette and looked at the Boeing plane at the door through the glass: "Let the airport send a refueling truck to refuel the Boeing plane first, and replace all the refueling personnel with our people." β
"Fire Kirin."
"Huh."
"Ho sir." The fire unicorn said busily.
"You're in charge of the fuel truck."
The fire qilin secretly said that it was fatal, and hurriedly agreed: "Yes!" β
"Sir!"
He Dingxian beckoned to the director of the airport side, pointed to the plane and said, "Can you recognize what type of plane this is, find one for me, or draw a cabin drawing." β
"There is a backup in the cabin." The supervisor hurriedly said: "All the planes that will land and transit on Hong Kong Island need to submit a cockpit division plan and design drawing, one in the service department, and one in the maintenance department."
"Hurry up."
He Dingxian waved his hand to drive people away, and found an airline manager: "Is there still a helicopter at the airport?" β
"There are three."
"Requisitioned." He Dingxian gave Chen Zichao a look, and Chen Zichao handed the walkie-talkie in his hand to Li Wenbin and asked Li Wenbin to lead a team of people to get the helicopter.
Five minutes later.
He Dingxian pasted a drawing of a Boeing plane on the whiteboard, asked the three teams of the serious crime team to gather for a meeting, drew a red cross on the door of the plane drawing, and said loudly: "The internal space of the plane is closed, the aisle is narrow, the windows are not large, there is a lack of external vision, and there are large blind spots. β
"According to the sniper's observation, there is at least one robber guarding the hatch and is responsible for observing the outside world."
"There are five people left, one at the stern and one guarding the rear security door." He drew two more crosses on the drawing: "The remaining three people moved along the aisle, guarding the hostages." β
"The robbers had the largest blind spot at the tail of the plane, and the remaining blind spot was in the sky."
All doors and windows of the aircraft have emergency switches on the outside, such as in high-altitude flight or due to air pressure, but it is absolutely possible on the tarmac.
"Team A, taking advantage of the side view of the refueling truck, took a pickup truck to the tail compartment of the plane, and rushed along the bottom of the aircraft to the front hatch!" He Dingxian's expression was serious and his methods were tough: "Team B, take a helicopter to land above the plane, open the rear hatch and break through." β
"Team C's boarding gate is on standby, once the breakthrough is not smooth, all of them will be pressed, and all the bandits must be killed."
The 30 members of the serious crime team wore uniforms and held firearms, and they were half-squatting on the ground with very solemn expressions. Since the errand has been in office, there has been no shortage of money and cases, but this is the first time that anti-terrorism activities in a small space have been carried out, which is a cross-era challenge for the Serious Crime Unit.
He Dingxian looked at everyone and reminded: "This operation is very dangerous, the police force has borrowed body armor, bulletproof helmets and sights from the military for you, a total of 67 lives on board, I don't ask you to bring back many people." β
"I have only one request, not one more life on board!"
Chen Zichao, Li Wenbin and other 30 police officers of the serious crime team shouted in unison: "Yes, sir!" β
The sound spread throughout the station, and all the police officers looked sideways, knowing that the Chinese police officers were about to start an operation.
It is not that there are no elite squads with better equipment and better quality than the major crime team, but the ghost police officers obviously do not gamble with their lives on the reputation of the city, and the drudgery that requires their lives has always been done by the Chinese.
"In two minutes, all the staff changed their equipment, Group A and Group C went to the predetermined point to be ready, and Group B stayed for five minutes to learn how to open the hatch." After He Dingxian said this, the police officers moved, and after a burst of neat equipment, they rushed to the battlefield.
