Chapter 1053: Fighting between police and criminals
There was a burst of gunshots, especially a few loud and dull gunshots, and the small group of water bandits made no sound.
Although the Marine Police's combat effectiveness is not very good, there are still a bunch of people hugging together! Those small sampans were crackling and fighting, and when they realized what they were doing, the boats began to sink.
Captain Li was also a little confused. It took him a while to figure out that they didn't light the lights and several small boats rushed directly towards them.
It's late at night, and there are a bunch of boats running outside. No matter who they are, ordinary people will definitely stay away from them when they see them. Who would not be afraid of death and get on board? Anyone who dares to do this is not only a water bandit, but also has evil intentions.
So, the marine police didn't wait for the other party to get close and started to chatter, they just started beating them one after another, and other people who didn't understand the situation also followed suit, and they didn't know what the situation was until they were killed.
Although he still couldn't figure out the cause and effect, Captain Li was sure that he had just heard a gunshot from the opposite side, and these people were definitely not ordinary people.
Regardless of whether the other party is a water bandit or not, and whether they are the target water bandits, since they have made such a big noise, their whereabouts must be hidden.
So Captain Li immediately shouted an order and asked his marine police officers to take precautions. Although he had only been in office for a few days and had not met many of his men, there were still many people who wanted to flatter him.
Therefore, although the scene was slightly chaotic, it was still managed to be organized in a decent manner. What he did was correct, because the enemy was indeed attacking.
The water bandits, who were approaching with great momentum, heard the sound of gunshots. They mistakenly thought that the group had not escaped yet, or that they were hiding nearby and wanted to ambush them. So they gathered a group of people and came directly to kill them.
Although Captain Li and other gentlemen may have problems with this or that, they did a good job of keeping it secret, or they didn't mention it at all.
The information channels are established by their own families or organizations, their parents are responsible for making decisions and procedures, and even those who issue orders are their own family members or superiors from the same faction of their own family members.
And they didn't need to explain this to their subordinates. Even their subordinates only learned about it shortly before the operation, which naturally kept the possibility of the information leaking to a minimum.
In addition, Jin Asan's group moved very quickly. They took action as soon as they made the decision. How could they get the news in advance? It would probably be too late to deliver it.
This resulted in them not knowing at all that they were also being targeted, and a large group of people were following behind them. Through such a strange combination of circumstances, they led a large group of people and killed them directly.
The crackling, the movement made the scream loud! But the scene was a chaotic mess, and there were basically no tactics. It was just two groups of people driving boats on the water and shooting at each other.
On the water bandits side, there were some who dared to use their boats to charge. On the water police side, some even wanted to turn around and run away at first. It can only be said that they didn't have the will to fight to the death.
Fortunately! The young men were not short of money and installed ship guns on almost every boat. The water bandits rushed up with two flexible boats, and the result was unbelievable.
Because they rushed a little closer, there were many people on the marine police side, and they could see clearly. After three or five shots were fired, everyone on the boat fell cleanly like mowing grass, and they couldn't even let out a scream.
They didn't dare to fight against the headwind, but in this kind of tailwind situation, they still felt that they could do it, so they stabilized their position for a while.
However, it only lasted a short time. Although the fight between the two sides was not very good, the casualties were not low. After all, this was not land.
The boat is floating on the water, so you can point it at such a big target, right? The space on the boat is limited, and both sides are basically wooden boats with little protection. Bullets are flying everywhere, and some are unlucky, and there are quite a few.
But fortunately, as soon as the other side received fire, some smart people realized that something was wrong. Except for a few of the top ones, they rushed over, and the rest only dared to shoot at each other for a test.
Seeing that he was not getting any good, he retreated decisively, turned around, and began to flee. Captain Li wanted to catch up, but unfortunately his men were in a mess, and the order could not be conveyed at all, and he could not organize for a while, so he had to give up.
Although he was not satisfied with the performance of his men, Captain Li did not say anything in mourning after the lanterns were lit and the chaos was barely controlled.
In his words, this turned into a great victory in the battle against the water bandits, and he said that after returning, he would be rewarded for his merits, bonuses, and feasts, etc.
No matter whether it can be fulfilled or not, the atmosphere has arrived. Everyone is shouting at the top of their lungs, but with a bunch of people shouting, it sounds like a ghost crying or a wolf howling.
Even if he cashes in, it's not now. After everyone roared for a while, Captain Li took advantage of the situation and made the next arrangements, including fishing for corpses, fishing for boats, catching alive people, etc.
Many corpses fell into the water. If your side wins the battle, you will naturally have to rescue those who were killed or fell into the water. You will also have to rescue those on the other side. That is all military merit!
The same goes for the sunken ships. Apart from the sunken ones, there are still seven or eight large and small boats left on the opposite side. There are five or six small boats that have not sunk or were abandoned in a hurry to evacuate.
The big ship left two of them behind. I don’t know if something went wrong or they were abandoned in a hurry. But no matter what, they were both victory and money, and they must be towed back together.
As for catching people alive, they may have jumped off the ship when it sank, or they may have accidentally fallen into the water during a firefight, or they may have jumped out of their minds. Of course, most people were thrown away in panic during the final evacuation.
The smart ones have taken advantage of their confusion and swam away quickly, but there are also many who are still flopping on the water, whether they are injured, their water nature is not fake, or for other reasons.
First they arrested people and inspected the boat, and then let those who were brave enough to swim go down to retrieve the corpses, and then they dived into the water to retrieve the boat and retrieve weapons and other items. Fortunately, the water here was not deep, and the ones that sank were small sampans and awning boats.
kind.
"How's it going? What have you gained?" Captain Li asked when he saw Vice Captain Su boarding his boat.
In the previous battle, and after the battle, his performance was quite remarkable, and he even gained a little limelight, but Vice Captain Su's performance was a bit unbearable.
So he handed over the finishing work to the other party as a support. After all, he pulled these people to form a small group, and he must have wanted to help him.
If you can't get up, where can you start talking about helping? Besides, the other party wants the same thing as him, and it's unbearable. But he has already taken the majority of the benefits, so he doesn't mind sharing this little bit of soup.
"More than 20 people were caught alive, but more than 10 of them were injured. Seven or eight of them were seriously injured and probably won't survive. Whether the rest of them can survive after being soaked in water like this depends on their fate.
Quite a lot of people died. Fifty or sixty corpses were found, most of them killed by the shotgun. Their bodies were bloody and full of bullet holes. Four or five of them were probably unrecognizable.
Counting the small boats, there were more than a dozen sunk, and there were only two big ones. There were also a lot of weapons, forty or fifty, and there should be more underneath. When the opponent ran away, a lot of them were probably thrown down.
In addition, after interrogating the captured guys, they found that they were all members of Jin Asan. They were planning to come tonight to deal with the people who had caused them harm before, but as a result, the other party had already run away, either because they had received the information in advance or something.
After they came over and confirmed that they were not entrenched in the reed marsh that finally disappeared, they sent people to search the surrounding area. As a result, one of the group of people bumped into me.
After the exchange of fire, they heard the noise and mistakenly thought that the group had not gone far and might even be hiding around to ambush them, so they rushed over with their men and started fighting with us."
Vice Captain Su gave a brief report on the situation. He was just a little concerned about his life, but that didn't mean he really couldn't do things. He really didn't have the slightest ability, and others wouldn't let him play with him.
Captain Li nodded. He also had some guesses about the situation. This was not too unexpected, but he was a little dissatisfied with the results. After all, they were a joint operation of several teams of marine police.
"Have anyone identified any important people among the people captured or killed?"
Captain Su nodded and said: "We killed a middle-level leader of Jin Asan's gang, but he was the kind who didn't make a name for himself and couldn't be named. There were also several smaller leaders, who were basically all
That’s it.”
Captain Li frowned, thought about it, and then ordered: "Ask them clearly about their names, go back and let the newspapers write about them, brag about them, and put some cases on them."
Since he is not famous, then he will build momentum for the other party and make a name for himself. When he comes out, he will only engage in small minions that others don't know about. How can that be done?
"Let everyone prepare a little more. Later, we will go and sweep away the two groups of little water bandits that we have defeated in advance!"
Soon, except for leaving a few boats to continue searching for corpses and weapons, Captain Su took the remaining boats, blew out the lights, extinguished the torches, and struck again while the iron was hot.
Having just beaten away the famous Jin Asan, the marine police suddenly felt that they were doing well again. There was no objection, and some were even a little ready to take action.
Facts have proved that it was indeed a little successful. The first group of water bandits were directly surrounded by them, and they fought hard. In the end, they killed ten or twenty people. Except for a few people who escaped, the rest all raised their hands and surrendered.
As for the second group, they ran away, not because they were beaten away, but because they probably heard the previous noise and ran away in advance.
Although water bandits would also build shacks, grass villages and the like to live in or use as dens and strongholds, most of them still made a living on boats to facilitate their quick escape. Even their belongings were often placed on boats.
This is even more obvious among small groups of water bandits. Some of these small groups don't even have dens on land. They live in boats or live scattered lives, and they only work together when they have a living.
Therefore, these people are very mobile and mobile, which is part of the reason why these bandits cannot be swept away in the core area of the government.
These two groups of water bandits only number about a hundred people, and they were only recently expanded. They don't have large ships at hand, and they retain the habits of small gangs.
Therefore, the latter group, feeling that something was wrong, immediately fled in all directions. Taking advantage of the complex surrounding environment and the fact that the waterway would not leave any obvious traces, Captain Li and others were unable to pursue them.
If you run away, run away! Captain Li took his people back to the place where the previous firefight occurred and looked at the results of the search. Unfortunately, there were no surprises, that is, they found two more corpses and some weapons.
Although a little disappointed, Captain Li quickly adjusted the situation, led his people, and began to clean up the results of this victory.
He understands very well that it is not very important whether the credit is great or not. If there are enough and it is good enough for nature, but not so many and big, a little is fine. If you polish it well, it will actually work.
Stuffing private goods into trophies would probably make people laugh if word spread about it, but polishing the existing ones would make them more eye-catching, like adding more holes to the ship...
