Chapter four hundred and fortieth, heaven and earth(1/2)
"Run, run!"
Compared with the original time and space, the citizens of Xiangjiang in the Hong Kong Comprehensive World encountered too many disasters. There were robberies for three days and gun battles for five days. More than a hundred citizens were injured by gunpoints every year, and there were even more gangsters.
So much so that everyone is used to robberies and knows how to protect themselves.
The citizens in the encirclement stayed in their cars, and the men held their wives and children, waiting for police rescue.
outside the encirclement
If there is no traffic jam, either reverse or turn the car around and move backward as quickly as possible.
It's blocked and can't be moved.
Then he took his wallet and other important things, got out of the car and ran to the safe area.
"Mr. Au, something happened in the tunnel again. Two trucks blocked the tunnel less than 100 meters from the entrance and exit of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. That's not good!"
The employee in charge of monitoring in the tunnel control room shouted loudly, "Many people jumped out of the car. They had guns in their hands. Something happened in the tunnel."
After hearing the employee's words, everyone present looked at the monitor, only to see that both ends of the tunnel were blocked by vehicles, and a large group of armed gangsters were walking around with guns.
Under their threat, a large number of citizens evacuated urgently and ran to safety areas as quickly as possible.
"Quick, call the police, say the tunnel has been hijacked." Looking at the scene on the surveillance camera, Mr. Ou's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
It's over, something big happened.
Looking at the gun-wielding gangsters on the screen, there were at least forty people, all armed with micro-rammers and other heavy weapons. As for the hostages inside.
Now is the busiest time for the tunnel.
It is conservatively estimated that there are hundreds of hostages blocked inside, and if there are more, there may be thousands.
It is conceivable that in such a situation, the sun will rise from the west without any loss of life.
How could I be so unlucky to encounter such a thing while on duty?
Someone will definitely take the blame afterwards. As the leader on duty, I can't avoid it no matter what. The only difference is the size of the blame.
"My name is Huo Bang. Now, I control this tunnel." At the command center, Mr. Ou received a call from the robbers. "In addition to hundreds of hostages, I also have a lot of explosives. Hahaha, let someone who can
The person in charge will contact me."
…
"What, the Red Cross Tunnel has been hijacked. There are at least hundreds of hostages. Hurry, go to the scene."
After receiving the news that the tunnel had been hijacked, the entire police force was shocked!
The West Kowloon and Hong Kong Island Corps issued emergency orders, and all police officers on duty were mobilized to rush to the two exits of the tunnel as quickly as possible. At the same time, off-duty police officers were ordered to return to the team and go to the scene for support.
Police Commissioner Cao Tat-wah was even more anxious. First, the Hong Kong Governor called to inquire about the situation. As soon as he hung up, the Secretary for Security called again.
In a word, Cao Dahua must ensure the safety of the Red Cross Tunnel while ensuring the hostages. This tunnel has a great impact on Hong Kong's economy and no one dares to take the risk.
"So far, the Central Police Station alone has received dozens of alarm calls. We have verified with the telecommunications company and found that they are all from the Cross-Harbour Tunnel."
In the command vehicle rushing from the police station to the scene, Superintendent Jiang of the Hong Kong Island Region Heavy Eucalyptus Group reported to the Hong Kong Island Region Commander, Assistant Director of the Foreign Devils,
"The person who controls the tunnel claims to be hot-tempered. I'm not sure yet whether he has anything to do with Superintendent Zhou and the gangster in the Central Plaza, but what is certain is that the robbers are very professional in their methods.
After taking control of the tunnel, not only did they place bombs on the escape doors, but they also destroyed all the monitors.
As for the accident in another tunnel, we suspect that it was also caused by the gangsters. The purpose was to force all the traffic into a tunnel, so as to achieve their goal of controlling the tunnel."
"Do you have any clues?" the foreign commander asked.
"The delivery driver is not very suspicious. He took the order and delivered it. However, the person who placed the order is very suspicious. We checked and found that the order was placed under a false name." Superintendent Jiang replied.
"Quick, line up the cars and block the road!"
"Park a few more rows. If there are not enough rows, it will be easily overwhelmed by trucks."
"Have the Flying Tigers arrived? Hurry up and get them over. Get some sandbags and put them in the car. These are not bulletproof and can be easily penetrated. Don't be fooled by movies and TV shows."
Li Ying, who had been on standby at the West Kowloon Headquarters, immediately rushed to the entrance of the Cross-Harbour Tunnel in West Kowloon as quickly as possible after receiving the alarm call.
As the highest-ranking police officer on the scene, Li Ying took over the command upon arrival and began to deploy defenses at the tunnel entrance.
Although the gangster who hijacked the Red Cross Tunnel said that he was hot-tempered, through this period of investigation, Li Ying was 100% sure that this guy was Hong Jipeng, and that hijacking the Red Cross Tunnel was his purpose of returning to Hong Kong.
For a gangster who has made a name for himself in the Golden Triangle, one cannot be too careful.
"Are the snipers here? If they do, come forward immediately and find the sniper spot yourself, as well as the reporters. Let them all leave. Interviews are allowed, but they cannot affect the actions of the police."
Li Ying kept giving orders.
Soon, the nearest Yau Tsim District Commander, Uncle Piao and Instructor Wu, arrived with the main force from Tsim Sha Tsui and Yau Tsim Mong Police Stations. Seeing Li Ying's arrangement at the scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
With this arrangement, it will not be easy for the robbers to escape.
"Li Ying, has the director arrived?" Uncle Biao asked, anxious.
"No!" Li Ying shook his head, "I received an order and the director of the Hong Kong Island Region is in charge of the command. If the director came here, it would be embarrassing, so he didn't come."
"The old director of the Hong Kong Island Region, I hope he can do the job." Uncle Biao looked in the direction of Hong Kong Island, a little dissatisfied with this appointment. He knew that this old director was very good at grabbing credit and flattering him, and he was very bad at it.
Not as good as myself.
"I am Jiang Yaowei from the heavy eucalyptus group, and this is Henry, Assistant Director of the Hong Kong Island Region Commander. We are going to use this place as a command center." Jiang Yaowei and his party entered the command center not far from the entrance of the Hong Kong Island Tunnel.
As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Yaowei said unceremoniously: "Get your engineers, we need to know the condition of the tunnel."
"Sir, the person who controls the tunnel is called Huo Bang. He has dozens of subordinates. There are at least hundreds of hostages inside now. And the man named Huo Bang said that the truck blocking the tunnel contains a large amount of C4 explosives. It is said that the amount is more than one ton.
."
Mr. Ou had no objection at all to the police requisitioning the command center, because he knew that whether the incident would pass would depend on the competition between the police and the robbers. As a small citizen, he still hid aside and watched the fun.
"Please replay shot No. 2 and zoom in to see the close shot!"
As the head of the Explosion Section, Zhang Zaishan also rushed to the command center. Looking at the surveillance footage, Zhang Zaishan asked someone to play it back.
"It's Hong Jipeng, it's really him." Looking at the excitement on the camera, Zhang Zaishan said, "I knew this guy wasn't just coming back to Hong Kong to seek revenge on me. He was really making big moves."
"What did they install on the security door?" Jiang Yaowei asked as the camera zoomed in.
"It was a plastic bomb. It was deliberately made for us to see, so we destroyed the CCTV later." Zhang Zaishan pointed at the camera.
"Sir, the engineer from the Cross-Country Tunnel Company has arrived." The policewoman with the title of inspector on her shoulder came in to report.
"Let him come in." Director Gui said.
"This is the floor plan of the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel!" The engineer from the Cross-Harbor Tunnel Company who came from home didn't waste any time after coming in. He flattened a piece of engineering drawings on his desk, pointed at the drawings and said:
"The Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel was built using the caisson method. It consists of a total of fifteen double-tube caissons. The total length is 1.86 kilometers. In the middle of the two traffic pipelines is an engineering pipeline for maintenance. There are fifteen escape safety doors along the way.
, connecting two traffic pipes.
Judging from the video just now, these escape safety doors are all equipped with plastic bombs, which can be said to be useless."
"If we don't go through the safety door, is it possible for us to enter through the drainage pipe and ventilation pipe?" Jiang Yaowei suggested.
"Theoretically yes!" the engineer nodded.
"It's difficult!" Zhang Zaishan shook his head and said, "I know Hong Jipeng. He likes to do things without leakage. Since he dared to hijack the Hung Hom Undersea Tunnel, he must have understood the structure of the undersea tunnel in detail before.
Knowing that it is a defensive weakness, it can be said that whether it is the entrance or exit on Hong Kong Island or in the direction of Kowloon, they are all within the opponent's surveillance range. As long as we enter, the opponent will definitely be able to see it."
"Is there no other way?"
Hearing that all the roads were blocked, Jiang Yaowei became a little anxious. As for attacking from the front, don't even think about it. There are hundreds of hostages inside. Not to mention the director, even the governor would dare to issue such an order.
"It's possible from the sea, but it requires professional diving equipment, and..." Just as the engineer said that he could go through the sea, he heard someone pointing at the screen and shouting: "Look, someone ran out of the right channel.
"
After hearing this, everyone immediately turned around and saw two people wearing safety helmets and work clothes running wildly out of the passage.
"Who are those two people?" Jiang Yaowei asked.
"They are colleagues from the maintenance department. They were working inside to clear the tunnel. They must have been hiding in the engineering pipes just now, but now they ran out when they saw that no one was paying attention."
An employee of the CHT Corporation said.
"Go and have a look." Jiang Yaowei nodded and took the lead in running out of the command center.
"Da da da!"
The two people running out may be a little dizzy. If they run along the right side of the right tunnel and against the wall, then Hong Jipeng's people will definitely not be able to see it, and the two people will be safe.
But they ran to the left and entered the middle area where the police and robbers were confronting each other. This was not seeking death.
What makes people even more speechless is that the two men were wearing eye-catching engineering uniforms. The yellow reflective tape on their bodies was the best target in the dark. Hong Jipeng's people could not see it unless they were blind.
Almost as soon as the gunfire rang out, the two men were swept down.
"Save them back."
At this time, even if they knew that the hostages would be accidentally injured, the police had no choice but to shoot, use pistols, and micro-charge, and the scene suddenly became a mess.
"Where are the snipers? Why don't you let the snipers take action?" Looking at the TV screen, the police and Hong Jipeng's men were fighting lively. They even used micro-attacks, but the sniper could not even be seen.
Lei Weidong frowned. The commander's on-site command experience was too poor.
