Chapter 778: The Wanted Criminal Team takes action
"I am Supervising Detective Jack Tavole. Who is in charge of the scene at the moment?" Jack asked loudly and showed his ID.
"This is Captain Luce, sir." A young white patrolman got out of the parked police car on the left, with a look of undisguised panic on his face.
"We only have one police car with a rifle. We have already gone in to support, and Captain Luce is also inside."
Jack briefly explained his situation, "We are wanted by the FBI. The key criminal team is performing a mission nearby. I heard that a police officer was injured and rushed over to provide support.”
Although the CMPD's seniority stamps are different from those of the LAPD and NYPD, they are very similar. The patrol officer looked like a rookie at first glance and looked very frightened. He swallowed dryly and glanced at the gang of police officers again. Armed FBI.
Although there were only 5 people in front of him, including two beautiful girls who looked more like movie stars than police officers, but just looking at the equipment, he thought they were the top anti-terrorist operations team of the FBI. HRT (Hostage Rescue Team) is here.
The young patrol officer immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and started calling. Within a few minutes, a patrol captain with a gray beard and a fat beer belly ran over panting.
“I’m Captain Humberto Luce. You guys arrived just in time. They said it would take half an hour for the SWAT team to be in place. Two of our guys are lying there not knowing whether they are alive or dead. We can’t wait that long. "
This Captain Luce is wearing a soft body armor that can barely protect against pistol bullets, without even a flap. He is holding a Glock 17 in one hand and the other in the other hand. He was holding a walkie-talkie, his hat was nowhere to be found, and his bald head, which was almost barren, was covered with sweat.
"We need to borrow one of your car radios, and Jiejie will stay behind to take charge of communications."
Jack didn't waste any more nonsense. At this time, the gunshots not far away were still ringing, and they were clearly audible. The bursts of gunfire from two large-caliber assault rifles suppressed the entire audience. In comparison, the return fire from CMPD's Glock pistols and M16s seemed a little inadequate.
Several people bent down and followed Captain Luce along the street houses into the shooting scene. It can be seen that this should be a pretty good mid-rise community. The roads are clean and almost no garbage can be seen. There is greenery. Not bad either.
Unfortunately, this place has become a battlefield at this moment. A police car with a white paint job and a few blue stripes is lying on the roadside. A police officer squatting at the front of the car is being suppressed and unable to raise his head. , the M16 in his hand should be the only rifle CMPD had at the scene.
A police officer at the rear of the car, who was originally relying on the rear wheels for cover, was running away. When Jack and others arrived, he had already rolled and crawled into a house across the street.
The owner of this house is a bold owner. It seems that he has been secretly filming with his mobile phone and kindly opened the front door in advance.
Shortly after the police officer entered the house, the homeowner opened the back door and ran out, probably because several bullets chased the police officer and entered the house.
Jack noticed that the trunk of the police car was punctured on both sides. He reached out and patted Clay's shoulder in front of him, telling him to pay attention to the impact points.
“It’s the same large-caliber AR or AK as ours, but the sound of AK’s gunfire is not like this.” Clay responded loudly and experiencedly. The sound of the police siren can't be heard clearly if you don't speak like this.
The wanted criminal team arrived faster than the ambulance. Jack glanced at several injured police officers on both sides of the road who were receiving emergency bandages. They should be the fugitive pursuit task force that was attacked before. team member.
The gunman occupied a rectangular house with a red roof. Like the surrounding houses, it only had one floor and a half-story attic.
The difference is that because this house is rectangular, there are one more windows in the attic at the front and back. The two gunmen occupy the left and right, intentionally or unintentionally, forming a cross shooting angle, which perfectly covers the house. In the open space in front and behind the house, the policemen, armed with only one rifle, could not raise their heads.
Under normal circumstances, the police only need to maintain a blockade and wait for reinforcements, but now they have to risk their lives and keep shooting at each other, because in front of the house, in addition to the bodies of two police officers who were beaten into a hornet's nest, there are also two An injured police officer was trapped.
Seeing this, Jack could roughly picture the scene that happened not long ago in his mind.
A group of 8 people was divided into two groups of 4 people, trying to approach the house from both sides of the front yard. It can also be seen from the previous arrest warrant that they knew that the other party might be illegally possessing There were guns, and two riot shields just in case.
It cannot be said that the task force was completely unprepared, but it was obvious that there was not much preparation. This may also have something to do with the local security environment. No one expected what would happen next.
Because the information from the Marshals Service was correct but not entirely correct, the young Terry Hughes they wanted to arrest not only illegally possessed a gun, but also a large-caliber and powerful fully automatic rifle, and he also had a helper. The two of them had obviously expected the arrival of the police and had been prepared for it. When the two groups of four had just stepped into the front yard and were still more than ten meters away from the gate, Terry Hughes Jr. and his accomplices jumped out from behind at the same time. He poked his head in the attic and shot out from a high position.
This scene is actually somewhat similar to the scene where a team of mercenaries attacked Jack's house, except that the other party directly used RPG without any martial ethics, otherwise Jack could have used condescension to The advantage will block all opponents 50 meters away.
Of course, it is impossible for the fugitive pursuit task force to use RPG. Apart from two shotguns, they did not even bring a long gun. The two explosion-proof shields and body armor on their hands could not stop large-caliber military weapons. The rifle bullets, plus the bullets coming from the side and above, were caught off guard.
Two police officers holding shields were knocked to the ground on the spot, and the rest also suffered gunshot wounds of varying severity. The police officers on the right were relatively lucky, as there were some sparse bushes on their side.
Brushes cannot withstand bullets but can block sight. Two slightly injured police officers dragged a seriously injured colleague out in time with the help of the cover of the bushes.
The four-man team on the left was not so lucky. According to Captain Luce, they were nailed to the spot for five minutes. One of the detectives from the Marshals Service tried to cover The colleague who was shot bravely stayed on the spot without cover and used his pistol to shoot at the two gunmen in the attic.
As a result, his colleague who was shot and fell to the ground managed to climb to a small tree and lost consciousness. The Marshal Police detective was also knocked to the ground and barely climbed into the blind spot of the gunman's sight. Now the two of them were No one could withdraw.
"They were nailed there, and we couldn't help them." Captain Luce pointed to the police car that was turned into a hornet's nest, only five or six meters away from the two wounded people who fell to the ground. .
From time to time, bullets whizzed past the two of them and hit the car. Some of the missed shots even landed on the mud in front of them and on the road behind them, sending up clouds of smoke and dust.
"Ammunition! Ammunition!" the police officer holding the M16 rifle shouted desperately. Apparently, the magazine in his hand was almost empty.
But if he stopped shooting, the gunman's attention would probably return to the two police officers who fell to the ground and shoot them again.
This can be seen from the bloody corpses of the other two police officers who died at the scene. There were dense bullet holes on the cement floor next to the corpses. The frantic gunman obviously shot them more than once. round of shooting.
"Take over the guy's cover and let him retreat first." Jack first patted Clay on the shoulder, then turned to Hannah and said loudly.
"Find a commanding height and cover Clay."
Hannah still held her usual G28E precision marksman rifle in her hands. The accuracy at this distance was no different from that of a professional sniper rifle.
The problem is that this community is full of bungalows of about the same height. The surrounding trees are not too thick, but the canopy is extremely lush. It is not a good view, but it should be enough for cover shooting.
Hannah directly chose the bungalow behind the police car, which also had an attic, and because the resident had escaped just now, the back door was open at this time.
Clay and Hannah, who were already eager to try, entered the house through the back door and loudly identified themselves. Don't forget that there was also a police officer who had just hid in the house at this time.
Soon the clear gunshots of the G28E rang out from upstairs, and the arrogant firepower on the opposite side was stopped. Clay took the opportunity to rush out of the front door, bent down and slid to the policeman who had run out of ammunition. .
He pulled the police officer behind him, put the Noveske N4 on the hood, and fired a few short bursts, in conjunction with Hannah's G28 above his head. Suppressed the arrogance on the other side.
At the same time, Jack was also making preparations for rescuing people. Aubrey ran back to the Saboban they drove from and got two spare heavy-duty body armors and several bulletproof inserts.
Captain Luce asked his men to send two explosion-proof shields and several rolls of tape. He put a body armor and a bullet-proof insert between the two explosion-proof shields and then wrapped them tightly with tape. It was a simple but practical temporary bulletproof. The shield is done.
