Chapter 362 Christmas (V)
In addition to weapons and ammunition, the War Police Base also has a large amount of fuel. After receiving feedback on the results of Operation Dusk, Two-Headed Dog ordered Operation Flame. In simple terms, it was to have the old guys use cars to transport fuel to the villa area, and then use bombs to detonate the fuel. Since the bodyguards were unable to conduct system defense and were fighting on their own, no bodyguard would risk stopping the fuel truck. Operation Flame went more smoothly than anyone expected, and the residential area soon turned into a sea of fire.
Shui Yao, who was in charge of the feint attack, used the autopilot technology to drive two cars full of fuel into the security building, and then shouted with a loudspeaker: Either everyone keeps peace, you eat and drink inside, and we tremble outside. Or I will blow up the two cars and turn the security building into a sea of fire.
In this Bloody Christmas, each of the Seven Killers has at least one to three, and the most exaggerated ones are Wood and Sun. Because Wood and old Sun have worked for more than 15 years, there are a lot of quasi-Wood and quasi-Sun under them.
Wood is the master of poison, and they are responsible for dealing with those who defend the basement. Sun is the master of sniping, and they are responsible for shooting from behind, making it impossible for the bodyguards to organize effective attacks and defenses, and controlling the open-air areas of the residential area.
After Yiyi helped One-Eyed Dragon open the armory, the outcome of Bloody Christmas was decided. In addition to pistols and rifles, there were also a large number of M60 general-purpose heavy machine guns and K3 light machine guns in the armory.
In addition, the one-eyed man also found 8 USAS fully automatic pump-action shotguns by accident. This type of gun is the king of indoor combat, with a 20-round super-large drum magazine, which can theoretically fire 260 rounds per minute. It is called a destructive weapon. It is a rare light weapon that is difficult to obtain through the black market.
After 90 minutes, Qi Sha completed the strategic goal, and the next pressure was on Hancheng Forum. They had to open a safe passage for Qi Sha to retreat. If everything above was planned, then Cui Jian and others' retreat was not planned accordingly. It's not that the two-headed dog didn't do it, but that it couldn't do it. There were too many variables and many problems.
Let’s go back to the ten-minute deadline given by Cui Jian. The command center called one minute in advance to inform that the clothes and food were all ready.
No. 2 picked up the bomb hanging on the east gate and stepped aside. Three uniformed police officers pushed three carts into the inner hall. On the carts were three trapezoidal barrels, which were usually used to transport sheets and bed sheets in hotel rooms. Two barrels contained clean towels and sportswear, and one barrel contained food.
Cui Jian picked up one of the loaves and took a look at it, and found that it was a product from a nearby bakery. Throwing the loaf back, Cui Jian asked the male police officer: "Does your boss have any requirements for you?"
Negotiation expert Jin Er reminded the male police officer: "Tell the truth."
The male police officer replied: "Pay more attention to the situation inside."
Cui Jian nodded and asked, "Do you want to take a look around?" As long as there was no conflict of interest, Cui Jian was still happy to help.
The male police officer was startled and replied, "Okay, thank you."
"Then I'll trouble you two to distribute the food to each table." Cui Jian gestured to the five hotel staff members: "You can also come and help distribute the clothes."
There was a police officer standing outside the east gate, seemingly supervising the work of the police inside. Beside him was a team of combat police holding shields to protect him. The police officer was wearing a law enforcement recorder. Through the video recorded by the law enforcement recorder, Jin Da found that there was a relatively chaotic scene when food and clothing were distributed in the inner hall, so he said to the commander: "This is an opportunity." He knew that ten meters away from the east gate, there were more than 30 combat police on standby, ready to raid at any time.
The commander pointed to the screen and asked, "Did the body camera capture any of the criminals?"
Jin Da didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
The commander said, "They have already taken position and are ready to deal with the surprise attack. But why should they give us the chance? Casualties of police officers and hostages will not benefit them, not to mention that they will not gain the upper hand if a real fight breaks out." The first sentence was an answer to Jin Da's question, followed by questions about the behavior of Cui Jian and others.
Jin Er said: "That's not the case. I think Yueyao's idea is simple and crude. The hostages need food and water. The police brought food and water. If the police want to take action, they can only resist. Of course, they are ready to resist. Where are the bodies? So many people died. Where are the bodies?"
The male police officer distributing food replied: "It's two meters to the left of the east gate. There are several bundles of bombs stuffed among the corpses."
The commander said: "We will attack from the east gate, and the enemy will immediately detonate the bombs in the bodies."
Jin Er replied: "It should be. Will it work?" I have never heard of such a tactic.
The commander nodded. "The assault team is equipped with gas masks. Large-area splashes will cause the assault team to lose vision. The attackers were temporarily blocked in the area near the east gate. If one or two stun grenades or a one-kilogram bomb were thrown at this time, the consequences would be disastrous."
The commander did not intend to do anything, there was no need. However, he was very happy that Cui Jian allowed the police officers to enter the inner hall, so that he could obtain first-hand information.
The atmosphere in the command room was relatively relaxed. The commander and two negotiation experts leisurely analyzed the information they saw from the video.
It happened suddenly.
Gunshots rang out, the recorder shook, and then the sounds at the scene became chaotic. Roars, gunshots, explosions, screams, all mixed together in an instant, making it impossible to distinguish them.
After 20 seconds, the video stabilized, but the camera was facing the ceiling, which meant that the officer carrying the camera was dead. The camera didn't move, the gunshots and shouts continued, and a splash of blood splashed onto the camera, staining the lens blood red.
The commander at the East Gate scene shouted through the recorder: "Retreat, retreat, everyone retreat."
As he roared, the gunfire stopped and the scene became dead silent.
Before the commander asked, the on-site commander at the East Gate connected with the commander first: "Tell the police not to advance rashly. Also, a large number of emergency medical resources are needed."
The commander gave the two orders immediately without asking for the reason, and the squad of combat police that had been moving towards the east gate all retreated to their positions.
Soon, the on-site commander reported to the headquarters, and the commander asked, "What's the situation?"
The on-site commander thought for a while and said, "Damn it, it's hard to explain."
Just as the service staff and two police officers were distributing clothes and food to the hostages, a middle-aged man near the east gate suddenly ran away. No. 3 raised his gun to shoot him, but the female police officer subconsciously rushed forward to stop him and was shot dead by No. 2 with three shots. The war police outside the east gate saw that the hostages had escaped and another police officer had been killed. The shield bearer immediately rushed into the east gate to protect the middle-aged man from evacuating. The team members behind him followed closely. Seeing this, Lao Tu, who was in the corridor on the second floor, pulled the trigger without hesitation. The high rate of fire of the AK rifle blocked the east gate, and the bullets easily penetrated the explosion-proof shield and knocked down several war police.
The police officers outside the circle immediately stepped forward, shooting to cover, while trying to drag the fallen person out of the battle area. Lao Tu was on the second floor, with the advantage of terrain. Two groups of eight people covering the personnel reached the bottom of the east gate to suppress Lao Tu.
A stun grenade flew in from the stage on the side of the East Gate. No. 2 on the left, Cui Jian on the right, and Lao Tu on the second floor, one by one, the policemen were knocked down. Seeing this, the policemen behind subconsciously stepped forward to support. Because there were a large number of hostages within their shooting range, they could not shoot. No. 2 took the opportunity to throw a bomb prepared by Jin Yue out of the East Gate and pressed the detonation button.
Cui Jian took the opportunity to throw another stun bomb out of the door, quickly changed the bullet, and continued to attack. No one suppressed Lao Tu on the second floor, and Lao Tu's AK rifle continued to block the east gate. The injured police officers who had fallen to the ground were all taken away by this wave.
In this battle, no hostages were injured or killed, including the middle-aged man who wanted to escape. After the gunshots, he fell to the ground and pretended to be dead. The SWAT team was afraid to use the right weapon, so the seven kills were almost equivalent to a one-sided output. 9 SWAT team members and 3 police officers were killed, and another 4 were injured.
The police suffered so many casualties because they underestimated the criminals' fighting power. Another reason was that they acted independently and it was not a surprise attack.
Cui Jian soon received a call from the commander, who first apologized for what had happened and made a request.
Cui Jian answered simply: "You can take the injured and the bodies away."
This time there were no problems. Four men in chemical protective suits carried all the injured and dead bodies onto a cart. After getting permission, two men connected a water pipe to the inner hall and flushed the bloody water at the east gate out of the door. After they were done, they left and cooperated to close the east gate.
The reason for transporting the bodies and washing the floor is the same, which is to reduce the hostages' fear as much as possible. To prevent the hostages from losing control of their emotions due to excessive pressure. After all, Cui Jian and his group do not have empathy and understanding for the hostages, and only take the simplest and crudest way to resolve the unstable factors.
Jin Er said: "Yue Yao is different from common robbers and terrorists. The first difference is that he has no desire for revenge. He will not execute the hostages because of the chaos just now, but it is not ruled out that he will execute the hostages to intimidate us. Since the losses of both sides in the chaos are not equal, he also knows that it was not intentional on our part, so there is no need for him to intimidate us."
Jin Erdao: "The second difference is that his emotions are very stable, not nervous or excited. Being a police officer, hostage, civilian, or target will not affect his judgment of the situation."
Jin Er said: "The third difference is that he doesn't bargain. He doesn't look at what we can give. He only says what he wants. He doesn't ask for more, but once he opens his mouth, he will do everything he can to achieve his goal. For example, some terrorists' conditions are to release all their accomplices in prison, but in fact his psychological bottom line is only 20 core accomplices, and he only needs to release these 20 people. Yue Yao will not ask for the release of all his accomplices, he will directly ask for the 20 core accomplices. No discounts, no bargaining."
Jin Er said: "When communicating with this person, honesty is the best way to win."
The chaos in the inner hall ended, and the hostages crawled out from under the table at Cui Jian's urging. It's not that they didn't want to run, but they had nowhere to run. Bombs were still hanging on the north and south gates, and the east gate was the main battlefield. For example, Duanmu had thought about assisting the police in killing the criminals, but as a raincoat man, the rise of Qi Sha was in line with his values. Secondly, Qi Sha completely controlled the situation, and one more person might just be one more body.
At this moment, Duanmu missed Cui Jian very much. If Cui Jian were here, he could join forces with him to give it a try.
Cui Jian explained that starting from the main table No. 1, they should take turns to take towels and clothes to the bathroom. The food was on the table and could be taken at will. The five waiters would fill the kettles of each table with water. Under his instructions and command, the hostages went to the bathroom and changed clothes in an orderly manner.
Qi Sha did not send anyone to follow him into the restroom, so the short time to change clothes in the restroom became a time for everyone to chat freely. After the chaos, the hostages lost confidence in being rescued. As businessmen, they could also see that Qi Sha would not kill them for no reason. The final consensus: As long as they help meet Qi Sha's conditions, they can save their lives.
For the next hour, the guests and hosts had a great time. Cui Jian did not stop them from chatting, and he satisfied all of their needs to go to the bathroom. Even when someone wanted to change seats, Cui Jian agreed. However, Cui Jian also had his own requirements: they were not allowed to leave their seats at will, take photos or videos, or make loud noises.
The harmonious atmosphere lasted until the battle of Plum Island was nearing its end.
Cui Jian used Ye Lan's phone to call the headquarters. For the past hour, the headquarters has been paying attention to the battle on Meihua Island, because they all know that if there is no change on Meihua Island, there will be no change on the Hancheng Forum. The commander adopted Jin Er's suggestion and did not take the initiative to contact or harass Cui Jian.
When Cui Jian called, they answered the phone immediately: "Hello."
Cui Jian sat on a chair at the main table, sitting alone opposite the six guests, and said, "My first request: three planes will take off from Meihua Island Airport in half an hour. Do not attack them, and do not send fighter jets to track them. If you complete this request, I will release the 20 hostages."
The commander was very surprised: "Is the battle of Plum Island over?"
Cui Jian was stunned: "The topic we are discussing is the Hancheng Forum hostage incident, right?" As a negotiation expert, Cui Jian is not qualified.
Jin Da interrupted and said, "Mr. Yue Yao, 20 hostages are not enough. You must release at least 40 hostages."
Cui Jian asked: "Do you mean to reject my conditions?" This sentence was not a rhetorical question, but a question.
Jin Da explained: "Listen to me, according to international practice, the authorities will not allow..."
Cui Jian hung up the phone, picked up his pistol and shot Lin Hai in the head. The people at the table screamed and dodged. Cui Jian stood up, took a photo of Lin Hai looking up at the ceiling with his mobile phone and sent it to the commander. After waiting for a while, he called the commander again.
When the commander saw that the dead man was Lin Hai, he wanted to die immediately and wanted to crush Jin Da to death. He anticipated the scene in the future when the Lin family would vent their anger on him. Of course, he did not expect Cui Jian to attack a big boss like Lin Hai. Not to mention the commander, the hostages, and even Lao Tu did not expect Cui Jian to kill Lin Hai first.
Why did you choose Lin Hai? No other reason, it just came handy.
After seeing the photo, Jin Da stood there in a daze, as quiet as a chicken: Is he so fierce?
Jin Er drank his tea leisurely: What did I say? Yue Yao's style is simple and rough, don't bargain with others, don't beat around the bush.
Are you happy? The three chaebol leaders were killed because of your nonsense.
Yes, the responsibility lies with Yueyao, but the Lin family cannot find Yueyao. Even if the Lin family finds Yueyao and kills him, it will be difficult to appease their anger.
