Chapter 42 Counter-Strike
Note: Chapters 40 and 41 have been modified. The terrorists in Chapter 40 did not escape and were killed by Rotun in the end. In other words, Rotun has now made a great contribution. Sorry, the plot content may have some problems. Now adjustments have been made. If there are any shortcomings, please forgive me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Reporters from various media outlets heard the news and came to the scene. They moved extremely quickly. In order to get the news faster, they were professional and worked hard, even faster than the police.
Only when there were already quite a few media reporters here did the police from the South Mumbai district begin to gather here, but these police officers could only surround outside the hotel.
Because they didn't have enough guns, and even if they did, they were some old grandfather guns, the old British bolt-action rifles from World War II, the kind that fired one shot and pulled the rifle once.
The terrorists are armed with AK automatic rifles, and they can fire directly. One person can match the firepower of dozens of you. How can you fight? Not to mention explosives, grenades and so on, the terrorists' bags are full of them.
There are nearly 100,000 police officers in Mabang, but only more than 2,000 guns.
Mumbai has about 20,000 to 30,000 police officers. Due to its status as a financial center, the number of guns equipped is relatively high, with about 600 guns.
There are only 600 guns for 20,000 to 30,000 policemen. Not only are these guns old, but only half of them can be fired successfully. I don't know if even half of them can be fired successfully. Facing terrorists with such equipment is tantamount to sending heads to the enemy. As many as you get will die.
This is just in economically developed areas like Mumbai. The gun situation is even worse in other places.
Therefore, the reason why the casualties in the Mumbai terrorist attack were so heavy, in addition to various outrageous operations, was that the police equipment was too poor and the hardware could not keep up.
When the first terrorist attack occurred, there were brave police officers who wanted to stop it, but unfortunately they paid with their lives without being able to hurt the enemy.
The police only had batons in their hands and had no other way to deal with the situation. They could only flee for their lives like the rest of the people and watch the terrorists kill people indiscriminately.
The news that Rodon had shot the terrorist was soon known to the reporters, and countless reporters wanted to interview him.
However, senior police officers quickly ordered Rawdon to be protected.
At the same time, senior officials sent people to inquire about Rodon's killing of terrorists.
You have to know that these terrorists have been killing people in several places in Mumbai and none of them has been caught yet, and they are still killing crazily.
I didn't expect that a small sheriff like Rawdon could actually kill a terrorist.
The police are under considerable pressure this time because the noise was too loud and the casualties were too heavy. What's even more fatal is that the police are now helpless against this group of terrorists.
So when they learned that Rawdon had shot a terrorist, the pressure on the police leaders suddenly eased a lot. After all, there was an achievement, right? They had an explanation to both the media and the higher-ups.
Roton definitely can't be allowed to talk about this kind of thing to the media; a senior police spokesperson must come forward to handle it.
Of course, Rotun did not hide anything and told everything that happened.
Then he was arranged to rest in a small room in a makeshift command post near the hotel. Bud and North were also arranged, as they were meritorious personnel after all.
Roton is not in a hurry at all now. This terrorist attack will not end so soon. It will last for nearly 60 hours. The other two major achievements will be completed by tomorrow.
Police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, and various sirens continued to sound near the Taj Mahal Hotel.
The whole of Mumbai was in chaos, with several places attacked at the same time. The police were unable to sort out the situation for a while and could only handle the incidents within their own jurisdiction.
At first, they just thought it was an attack like any other, except that the criminals had guns.
But they underestimated this group of terrorists. They were well-trained and killed the policemen who were originally responsible for grassroots public security, making them cry for help.
It was not until a large number of casualties began to occur among police officers and civilians that the police realized something was wrong and began to request reinforcements from the armed police force.
Although they are an armed police force and their equipment in terms of guns and other aspects far exceeds that of the public security police, they are only able to deal with ordinary criminals, but it is still far from enough to deal with these terrorists.
Especially since these terrorists hid in buildings and took hostages, it was very difficult to rescue people at once.
The police naturally reported the incident to the highest leader of Maharashtra, the Chief Minister.
It’s just that the Chief Minister is not in the state right now, but attending events in other states.
After receiving the news, he was unable to judge the seriousness of the incident for a while and believed that the Mumbai police could handle the incident.
It was not until more than an hour later, when he received more information, especially when he heard that countless magazines and bomb grenades were found on a dead terrorist, that he realized the incident was beyond his imagination. He then called the Federal Central Minister of the Interior and requested the dispatch of anti-terrorism elite forces for support.
This is where the weird operation begins.
Since the counter-terrorism elite force is stationed in Delhi, more than a thousand kilometers away, the counter-terrorism elite force here is the famous Black Cat Commandos, known as the pride of India.
If you want to transport hundreds of commandos at one time from Delhi to Mumbai, which is hundreds of kilometers away, you need an Il-76 transport aircraft.
Coincidentally, Delhi did not have Il-76 transport aircraft and had to transfer transport aircraft from other places.
So, various contacts were made, the pilots were woken up, and various preparations such as refueling were completed. By the time they flew to Delhi to pick up the Black Cat commandos, it was already past two in the morning of the next day, the 27th.
Due to the slow flying speed of the transport plane, it took another three hours for the Black Cat Commandos to finally arrive at the Mumbai airport. It was already 5:30 in the morning of the 27th.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
As soon as they got off the plane, the commandos were stunned. They found that the local government had not organized any personnel to connect with them, let alone any vehicles to pick them up.
On the one hand, the city of Mumbai was turned upside down by terrorists, causing countless casualties; on the other hand, hundreds of Black Cat commandos who had traveled thousands of miles to arrive were left alone at the airport, how ridiculous!
After the local departments of Mumbai made rapid and effective communication, they finally mobilized professional transport vehicles - several ordinary local buses - in just "three hours".
With the rapid transportation of the bus, an hour later, the commandos finally arrived at the designated attack sites at around six in the morning.
At this time, more than nine hours had passed since the terrorist attack began, which was simply too "fast".
At around 6 o'clock in the morning on the 27th, local police and armed police had actually attempted to attack several times since last night, but each time ended in failure. After many casualties, they gave up and ordered a siege and wait for support from the anti-terrorist elite forces.
In addition to the police and military personnel, there were also reporters from various media outlets, both domestic and foreign. Their cameras were pointed at the hotel or at the officials at the scene, and they were broadcasting live.
Some brave citizens also stayed near the scene and watched the development of the incident.
"There is danger ahead, please do not approach, please step back." The police officers who were maintaining order tried their best to ask some reporters who were moving forward to step back.
Due to the arrival of some members of the Black Cat Commando, the media at the scene went a little crazy, and they all wanted to squeeze to the front to take pictures.
In their view, the arrival of the Black Cat Commandos could easily capture the terrorists inside.
This is India's proudest counter-terrorist, and every move he makes is extraordinary.
So they all wanted the leader of the commando to say a few words.
The leader of the commando team didn't say anything, but the local Mumbai officials at the scene loudly announced to the media that with the Black Cat Commando, they would finish the battle in an hour, and they also added that the government departments would make such and such efforts, and even took credit for themselves...
No matter what this guy's little thoughts were, the arrival of the Black Cat Commandos made everyone in the audience very excited. After all, the attack was too brutal.
