"Thirty to fifty?" Lei Zhengwu was extremely surprised, "Why didn't you say three hundred to five hundred? You don't even know how many enemies there are, what do you do for food!"
The captain's face changed greatly, and he reluctantly defended: "Commander, this is the lair of a gang. These people are very cunning. Even their own members don't know how many people are hiding in this building. We have raided and interrogated several gangs.
Members, they said that a large number of hostages have been held in the building, but they don't know how many there are.
"How did you calculate the number of hostages to be nearly a hundred?"
"Through the supplies consumed and the garbage produced every day," the captain replied.
Lei Zhengwu finally nodded: "Not bad. Contact the people in the building immediately and tell them I'm here. Ask their leader to come out and ask me if you have any conditions."
The captain hesitated and said: "Commander, there is no need for you to come forward..."
"I don't plan to show up, I just want you to tell them like this!"
The captain suddenly understood and quickly agreed and ran away.
Lei Zhengwu said again: "Ye Han, go to the car behind and get a sniper rifle. Find a sniper position yourself. Be careful not to let people in the building discover it. Wait for my order when you are ready!"
"Yes!" Ye Han quickly jumped off the off-road vehicle, ran towards the armored vehicle behind, and received a JS sniper rifle equipped with a thermal imaging camera from the armored vehicle.
The calibers of this kind of gun include the traditional 7.62 and 12.7, as well as small caliber adapted to the military. Ye Han chose a small caliber bolt-action sniper rifle without hesitation.
The so-called bolt-action rifle is a rifle that fires a shot by pulling the bolt, and then pulling the bolt again. Before World War II, a large number of troops were equipped in various countries. Many rifles that are familiar in movies and television are of this type.
For example, the Mosin Nagant, nicknamed Shui Lian Zhu; the Mauser 1888, nicknamed the old sleeve, and its improved version made in Hanyang; the Lee Enfield, nicknamed Ying Qiqi; and the most familiar 38 cover to the Chinese people.
After World War II, due to the rise of automatic weapons, automatic rifles completely replaced bolt-action rifles, but only in the field of sniping, bolt-action rifles have always had a place!
Although the shooting speed of bolt-action rifles is appallingly slow, bolt-action rifles are world-famous for their accuracy because of the few moving parts. Most high-precision sniper rifles are members of the bolt-action rifle family.
Ye Han also had certain considerations in choosing a small caliber, not because he was used to using small calibers, but because the upcoming battle was to rescue hostages.
In battles aimed at annihilating the enemy, both 12.7 and 7.62 are more suitable than novel calibers, especially the 12.7 mm caliber, which has a stronger psychological shock to the enemy than the gun itself.
However, when rescuing the hostages, the safety of the hostages must be taken into consideration, and under normal circumstances, the sniper distance is only a few dozen meters. In this case, the more powerful the bullet, the more likely it is to accidentally injure the hostages. Small-caliber rifles are more likely to accidentally injure hostages than medium-caliber and large-caliber rifles.
More advantages.
When Ye Han received the equipment, other snipers had already entered the building opposite the office building under the cover of vehicles, each looking for a suitable sniping position.
Seeing this, Ye Han simply didn't enter the building. He ran directly to an armored vehicle, opened the shooting hole and looked around: "The lone wolf is in position!"
Soon after, the signal of the last sniper's position was transmitted to the command vehicle. At this time, the negotiation between the captain and the gang also came to fruition. Lei Zhengwu stepped out of the off-road vehicle and took the electric horn from the captain: "I am Lei Zheng, commander of the Provincial Military Region.
Zhengwu, if you have any conditions, just tell me."
A hoarse voice came from the building: "I want a plane, please send a plane to take me away!"
"Impossible!" Lei Zhengwu's answer was decisive, "Put down your weapons and surrender immediately. I guarantee your life safety!"
"Stop fooling people, I'll give you five more minutes. If you can't see the plane for five more minutes, I'll kill the hostages and show them to you!"
"You have watched too many movies!" Lei Zhengwu sneered, "We are the army, not the police. We will never accept any of your conditions. If you want to survive, put down your weapons and fight stubbornly to kill them on the spot!"
"Stop blabbering, will you send a plane?"
Lei Zhengwu suddenly said in a cold voice: "You are not qualified to negotiate with me, let's find someone else!" After saying this, he waved his hand towards the command vehicle.
Ye Han immediately heard two words coming from the earphones: "Grouse!"
"receive!"
Bang--
There was a loud noise, and the 12.7mm sniper rifle arranged opposite the office building opened fire. The warhead accurately hit the outer wall of the office building. The gangster hiding behind the wall did not say a word, and his head was cut into pieces by the bullet.
The gangsters in the building collectively lost their voices, but soon a guy stood up under the gunpoint of the leader and shouted in a trembling voice: "You, if you dare to kill one of us, we will kill two hostages!"
"Please!" Lei Zhengwu waved his hand again.
Bang--
Another shot went through the wall and killed him on the spot.
The gangsters were overwhelmed by the military's toughness. They were so angry that they took out a hostage who was almost mentally broken and pushed him to the window. He pointed his gun at the hostage's temple without hesitation.
Seeing that the hostage was being shot to death, the command vehicle decisively ordered: "Save them!"
Bang--
Ye Han shot the gangster through the wrist without hesitation. At the same time, the 12.7mm sniper rifle also fired, killing the gang leader with one shot.
Suddenly two gunshots were heard in the office building, and a stream of blood spurted from the forehead of the hostage standing at the window, and he fell softly to the ground.
"If you dare to shoot again, we will kill a few more hostages..."
Lei Zhengwu's face was as dark as water, and he uttered two words coldly: "Strong attack!"
"Yes!" the captain agreed, and the already prepared troops immediately fired tear gas canisters on all floors. A large amount of tear gas immediately filled the office building and came out from the broken windows.
Dozens of soldiers wearing gas masks quickly rushed into the office building, and intense gunshots were immediately heard in the building.
Time was running out, and Lei Zhengwu didn't even have the patience to wait for the battle to end. He turned towards the command vehicle and ordered all snipers to withdraw and immediately move to the next battlefield.
A dozen snipers quickly withdrew, and Ye Han consciously got into an armored vehicle instead of continuing to rub against Riesling's off-road vehicle.
When the convoy drove a few hundred meters away, news came that the battle in the office building was over. Sixty-seven gangsters had been wiped out, 121 hostages had been rescued, and a total of fourteen hostages had been killed by gangsters or accidentally injured in the battle.
When the convoy arrived at the second battlefield, Lei Zhengwu directly ordered the gangsters to surrender. When they refused, he immediately ordered a storm. He would rather sacrifice the lives of the hostages and soldiers than delay for a minute.
When the scene changed for the third time, Lei Zhengwu did not even give a warning and directly ordered the troops to attack over the radio.
Lei Zhengwu's handling methods were too rough and urgent, which made Ye Han vaguely feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what happened.
