Chapter 1119

"It's started."

Dai Mingsheng stood in the command center of the Lanyue Municipal Bureau, his heart surging like a groom holding a ceremony, or like an adjutant... to a general.

The general was the director of the Lanyue Municipal Bureau, the man who truly signed for the budget and was responsible for Xu Taining.

At this very moment, Dai Mingsheng didn't even have the qualifications to speak; he just stood beside the director, whispering, waiting for the leader's inquiries at any time.

Jiang Yuan and Xu Taining sat on either side of the director, watching the command center screen in a way that was particularly unnecessary yet particularly necessary.

The main screen in the center displayed a perspective carefully selected by the front-line assault team. The clarity was extremely high; it wasn't simply filmed by body-worn cameras, but rather a task completed by a professional photographer under the relay of the technical reconnaissance vehicle behind them.

Technical reconnaissance had already fully taken over the phone and mobile signals at the scene, with a group of people squeezed into an MPV that no one else was allowed to enter, making the atmosphere at the scene heavy and formal.

Wu Junhao was also squatting at the scene, holding his Type 09 shotgun. A shotgun loaded with tungsten-alloy slugs could kill someone through a wall, and its power was only stronger, not weaker, than a sniper rifle.

The one Wu Junhao was holding was also brought from Ningtai County. This was relatively rare in normal police exchanges, but because of Jiang Yuan, the Lanyue Municipal Bureau agreed to it.

After all, they had already agreed to let Wu Junhao participate in the capture operation in Lanyue City; what else could they not agree to?

Wu Junhao was full of ambition. As a middle-aged deputy section-level officer, he really wanted to advance, even though he had only advanced for a little over half a year.

"It's started." His deputy touched his bald head and whispered.

"Mm." Wu Junhao nodded. He wasn't sure if he would have a chance to perform, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the high-rise building on the right.

This criminal gang called Heavy Load had no experience in anti-sniping. Their largest local stronghold was set up in an office building in the city center, just for the convenience of traffic. The house they lived in was surrounded by large glass windows; although they were drawn so you couldn't see inside, they were completely un-bulletproof. It wasn't like old-fashioned tower buildings where at least the parts used as load-bearing walls could serve as cover to withstand a few hits.

Of course, there was almost no indoor architecture in the country that could defend against sniper rifles. And if anyone from this criminal gang got out, they might notice the issue of sniper points in the future, and perhaps they would also pay attention to assault points, technical reconnaissance, and thermal imaging... If they learned well enough, they might be able to get into college.

"Assault team, prepare!" A white-shirted officer came to pass the order, pressing his hand on Wu Junhao's shoulder, and said: "You are the second wave; wait for orders at any time."

He didn't leave after speaking, but stayed right beside Wu Junhao.

Wu Junhao smiled, glanced at him, and said: "Are we the reserve team?"

"It's not aimed at anyone. For the first wave of the attack, we hope to coordinate with a more skilled team," the white-shirted officer patted Wu Junhao and then smiled: "Seriously, how could we easily change the tasks arranged by Team Leader Jiang?"

Wu Junhao gave him the smile a bald man should have and then said: "We will definitely cooperate fully."

"That's good." The white-shirted officer squatted nearby and smiled: "Next, let's watch the performance of our First SWAT Brigade."

Provincial capital cities today basically have this configuration.

At this moment, following the First SWAT Brigade in were the engineering troops they had borrowed.

According to the previous plan, if the first wave of the attack didn't go smoothly, the engineering troops would immediately enter from the next door and the floor below, directly blasting open the adjacent wall to assault. If they encountered determined resistance, they would resolutely blast the floor of the resisting level to sweep everyone away from below.

The atmosphere at the scene could be described as serious yet lively.

Although the Heavy Load gang were arms dealers, their combat power wasn't particularly strong. At least, from the perspective of armed forces, they couldn't be considered a serious threat.

And for the police, the gang had no hostages and no particularly important figures, so the assault itself actually couldn't be considered difficult.

However, there was still a possibility of casualties.

Bang!

A sound rang out without warning, echoing within the building complex.

Wu Junhao turned to look immediately and saw that a cordon was being set up at the intersection, and the crowd blocked outside the cordon was still looking around curiously. Their expressions clearly showed they didn't know the sound they just heard was gunfire.

Bang!

Another dull sound rang out. In Wu Junhao's mind, he could already imagine the scene of two criminals falling to the ground.

At this very moment, the first wave of the assault team should have rushed through the door; they might have even opened fire already.

Wu Junhao couldn't help but lick his dry lips. An assault protected by snipers, even if they were holding pistols, should be very exciting.

He tilted his head to listen, but couldn't hear any movement inside the room. Perhaps the attack was going smoothly, or perhaps the gunfire inside couldn't travel very far.

All around was the bustling commercial center. If you walked a little further away, no one cared about the situation here. Everyone lived their lives sweeping the snow from their own doorsteps; even if an arms dealer lived next door, they only cared if he was noisy.

Bang!

In the command center of the Lanyue Municipal Bureau, the excellent sound effects made the video transmitted by the cameraman feel quite immersive.

Of course, this was something the people at the scene absolutely could not say.

The director even looked at the live broadcast screen and emphasized: "Pay attention to safety."

This is the troublesome part of Image Reconnaissance. The range seen by one camera is limited, but another camera doesn't necessarily connect seamlessly. Or rather, even if it can connect seamlessly, wanting to accurately transfer from one camera to another also requires a bit of brainpower.

The director could only nod.

The image he saw was the backs of the people in front; he wasn't clear about the situation at the scene, only seeing the shoulders of the people in the front row heaving and hearing the delayed gunfire.

Pfft pfft pfft...

The sound of the Type 79 submachine gun firing indoors was slightly dull.

The people in the command center also inevitably became nervous at this moment.

No matter how well the plan is made, once you reach the scene, there will always be all kinds of accidents. To score 100 points, you need 120 points of ability.

"Continue forward, Second Team, control the left flank!"

The voice of the on-site commander came through, a very steady order.

In the command center dozens of miles away, the emotions of everyone were instantly calmed.

On the screen, the police officers wearing bulletproof vests moved increasingly fast.

Instead, the cameraman's light panting sounded a bit abrupt in the suddenly quiet room.

Bang bang bang...

A sound that was clearly not from a Type 79 submachine gun rang out abruptly. Before anyone else could get nervous, the gunfire stopped, and immediately after, came the sound of bodies falling.

"Sniper No. 3 hit! No need for follow-up shots."

In the command center, the voice of either the sniper or the observer came through simultaneously.

The police team immediately took action.

When passing through a room, the camera turned slightly to see a corpse broken in two, lying behind a low wall, the blood already drained.

"We surrender!" Someone shouted loudly from a room further inside.

Old Jiang's voice didn't change in the slightest, only saying: "Throw the guns out."

Thud.

Thud thud.

Three long guns were thrown out one after another, one of which was an American M4, desert-painted, and a bit old.

"Pistols. Explosives, throw them all out. Don't make me say it again." Old Jiang didn't relax in the slightest.

Thud thud...

A few more items were thrown out from inside in one breath; only one was a pistol, and the rest were magazines and hand grenades.

Several people in the command center couldn't help but shrink their necks.

"Nothing left!" the person inside shouted.

"Open both hands, come out with your hands up, don't move around. If you get shot by a sniper for moving around, don't blame me." Old Jiang spoke a bit wordily and slowly, but still emphasized: "Walk slowly, take small steps. If you don't listen to orders, I'll open fire immediately!"

Throughout the entire assault process, the capture part was actually what made Old Jiang the most nervous.

Three men and one woman walked out slowly from inside with their hands held high.

Old Jiang directed them all the way outside the corridor before handcuffing the four of them.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In the thermal imager, there was no one else left.

But Old Jiang still took his men to sweep through it again before letting the forensic science personnel come in to extract evidence.

When sending for inspection and prosecution later, these things would still be indispensable.

Old Jiang personally escorted the vehicles, sending the few people to the prison vans separately.

Accompanying them was a hearse for transporting the bodies. It had been prepared long ago.

The expressions of the few who survived in the end were not very good. Old Jiang was accustomed to this.

After all, for these few criminals, starting from today, their lives could be said to have had a huge turning point, or to put it bluntly, the lives they were accustomed to were considered over starting from today.

"How did you find us?" the criminal in the vehicle spoke up first.

Old Jiang looked over and saw it was the oldest one among the few captured, so he said: "What, do you think what you did was done without anyone knowing?"

The other party stared fixedly at Old Jiang, and after a while, said: "You didn't find us by following the business; we are isolated from the sales end."

Old Jiang chuckled; where is there any true isolation nowadays?

The other party also fell silent, but after only a few seconds, he spoke up: "I want to name some people."

"Hmm?" Old Jiang raised his head again: "You want to report others to earn merit?"

"Can't I?"

"Of course you can. But it must be criminal plots and criminal personnel that we haven't grasped yet." Old Jiang said, smiling inwardly, thinking to himself, and they even asked how we found you!
