Chapter 416 Special Police Competition (Part 2)
The first event of the competition is manual explosive disposal, which is also known as bomb disposal in the popular sense.
Nowadays, in the context of high-tech police force, there are various forms of EOD, including detonation with detonators, water cannon shooting, remote demining by robots, and simple and crude ones such as direct burning and crushing. Manual detonation is actually the last resort. Means, he has not even appeared at the scene of the incident for more than ten years.
Therefore, the commemorative significance of this competition is far greater than its practical significance. After all, in the early years, the EOD police, who were poor and had nothing, really used their lives to protect the safety of the people. However, the Zhengming Brigade also took advantage of the project. If we look at actual combat, whether in terms of actual experience or EOD equipment, the commando team directly under the detachment must have a complete upper hand.
But the current competition event is manual explosive disposal, which is the strength of Xu Mingliang, who is nearly forty years old and has been tinkering with explosive disposal since more than ten years ago. After all, none of today's EOD operators can personally defuse bombs. They are all equipped with high-tech equipment. If we really want to talk about manual bomb disposal, it has to be veteran special policeman Xu Mingliang.
Wearing a 35 kilogram EOD suit, Xu Mingliang was carrying a bulky helmet and frowned: "Why didn't Li Da and Xie Chi come?"
As the most reliable scorer in the Zhengming Brigade, Xu Mingliang had the confidence to call the brigade leader by name at this time.
"Brother Xu, you're so awesome! You're calling people by their names." Chen Chuan raised his fist and hammered the abdomen of Xu Mingliang's thick and strong EOD suit, and said, "Isn't it uncomfortable to wear this thing?"
"Hey, I've already given them enough face by being here today. If they make me unhappy, they might just turn around and leave. Chen Chuan, take one." Xu Mingliang held out two fingers in front of Chen Chuan.
It has been several years since Xu Mingliang was transferred from the detachment to the Zhengming Special Police Brigade. However, due to his own reasons, he has never represented Zhengming in the traditional project of manual explosive disposal.
"I know, I know. Brother Xu's coming today has given us Chen Shutian a great deal of honor. Even if one is enough, we must get two!" Out of respect for the old comrade, Chen Chuan immediately put on an attitude of listening and hurriedly gave Hand over a few good cigarettes.
"Open and bright!" Xu Mingliang raised his eyebrows, and Chen Chuan handed him another cigarette and lit it.
Xu Mingliang, who is nearly forty years old and has a lot of experience in his early years, has reached an age where he does not need to prove himself on the martial arts field. He took the initiative to ask for a job this time. It is really for the sake of Chen Shu and he hopes that he can do his part. Bo Li, give a good boost to this captain who is quite good.
After all, he is still young and has a bright future.
Chen Shu came over with two bottles of mineral water, gave one to Chen Chuan, and handed another to Xu Mingliang, saying, "Brother Xu, how are you preparing? Are you confident?"
Xu Mingliang curled his lips at the assault squadron directly under the detachment not far away, and said dismissively: "I haven't done anything in so many years, and my hands are indeed a little rough. I don't know how to handle high technology. This is just a craft job. ”
The assault squadron directly under the detachment is truly the son of the detachment. Due to their emphasis on the competition, their equipment was the best in the field. In addition to carrying a competition gun, the sniper team also wore jungle camouflage uniforms with their faces covered in camouflage; the EOD team's competition Although the project was manual explosive disposal, water cannons and robots were still brought to the temporary station.
This attitude is indeed correct.
"That's your old employer, give them some face." Chen Shu patted Xu Mingliang's arm and encouraged him, "Wear the heaviest equipment and do the most delicate work. Brother Xu, come on! Let them see how old and spicy Jiang is, what is the steadiest hand!"
The time has come, Xu Mingliang nodded towards the Zhengming Brigade, solemnly picked up the big helmet with both hands and set off.
The detachment is directly under the first team and has a temporary rest room.
Captain Wei Hengyuan was startled, his single eyelids gleaming with light. He stared at Zhang Zhongzhen and said in disbelief: "Zhongzhen! Even though we are still in the first place, we are being bitten hard by the two behind us. If we are not careful, we will lose!"
After a pause, Wei Hengyuan stamped his feet, sighed, and complained: "Why did you send all the newcomers to the previous projects? At least a few top soldiers left a few winners for the team, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do it now. So passive."
In Wei Hengyuan's heart, or in the hearts of all the policemen in the special police detachment, if the first team directly under the command squadron did not win first place in the city's competition, it would be the same as losing. Once something like this happens that hasn't happened in more than ten years, it will be a serious blow to the reputation of their first team.
As the captain of the team, Wei Hengyuan cannot absolve himself of the blame. As long as he is still in the special police system, he will never have a chance to turn around. This principle also applies to Zhang Zhongzhen, the squadron leader of the assault squadron.
Afraid that Zhang Zhongzhen hadn't figured it out yet, Wei Hengyuan hurriedly stated the current situation of the competition between the teams: "Zhongzhen, we don't need to worry about Yong'an who is in second place. Anyway, the next events are his weaknesses. There is nothing wrong with him." But Zhengming, who is also biting us in the butt and is now ranked third, is different. Their captain is Chen Shu, who has maintained the sniper record for eight years. If he wins the sniper event. , the total score will immediately exceed ours in the last team assault event, we..."
"Wei Da, don't worry. Even if Chen Shu wins the sniper competition, he will not be our opponent in the final team event. We will definitely win the championship in the end." Zhang Zhongzhen smiled lightly and said unhurriedly .
Wei Hengyuan's eyes lit up, he took out his mobile phone, lowered his head and calculated for a moment, then nodded and said: "According to your calculation, even if Chen Shu won the sniper championship and then took second place in the team assault event, the total score would still be higher than ours. One point lower.”
Zhang Zhongzhen walked to the water dispenser in the corner of the lounge, took two glasses of water, handed one to Wei Hengyuan, and talked eloquently: "Wei Da, I have calculated the points. We will definitely still be first in this competition. As for Wei Hengyuan, I have already calculated the points." Why are all the newcomers scheduled to play? I mainly consider the provincial competition at the end of the year, so that potential newcomers can come on stage early to adapt to the atmosphere of the competition, regardless of whether they will participate in the provincial competition later. It will be of great help in terms of mentality and adaptability.”
Wei Hengyuan thought about it for a long time, and it was best to shake his head: "Zhong Zhen, your calculations are very accurate, your arrangements are in place, and you are very considerate. In terms of martial arts competition alone, there is no problem with your arrangement. But Have you ever thought that we did win first place on the field, but if we were only one point ahead of the second place, what would the detachment leaders off the field think of us? The whole detachment had devoted all its energy and financial resources to us? Yes, the most elite commando team! If we are only one point higher than those district and county brigades that only patrol the roads, what will the leaders think? "
"This" Zhang Zhongzhen, who was preoccupied with the competition in the provincial capital, was stunned. In his original plan, he only needed to win first place at the city level. He didn't even consider how many points the first place had to exceed the second place!
It's just a martial arts competition, how come there are so many tricks?
"Wei Da, we can explain to the detachment leader that we are sending young players on the field this time, and their results will indeed be worse than those of top soldiers. But this arrangement is also for the big competition in the province at the end of the year."
Wei Hengyuan waved his hand and interrupted Zhang Zhongzhen's explanation. He stared into the other person's eyes and said solemnly: "No leader will listen to our explanation. They will only focus on the final result. Zhongzhen, I have already let the young man lose his temper according to your temper." The team members are on the field to practice. The next event must be on the top! This is an order!”
Zhang Zhongzhen clenched his fists and retorted: "I am the squadron leader, and I can only report the personnel arrangement! If the detachment leader doesn't understand, then just ignore him! As long as I win the competition in the provincial capital at the end of the year."
"Zhongzhen!" Wei Hengyuan, who had been a leader for more than ten years and had much more field experience than Zhang Zhongzhen, couldn't stand listening anymore and shouted to stop Zhang Zhongzhen's defense.
He held Zhang Zhongzhen's arms with both hands and said word by word: "Zhongzhen, you have to understand that if you don't give the detachment leader a satisfactory answer in this competition, do you think you can still continue to lead the team?" Will the team go to the province to participate in a competition? "
This sentence instantly shattered Zhang Zhongzhen's defenses. Winning the provincial capital competition was one of his biggest goals in staying in the SWAT team for so many years. For this goal, he sacrificed everything.
In the end, he could only nod in agreement.
Chen Chuan and Pu Shu, who originally thought they would be thankful as long as they could maintain the second-to-last result in the city, couldn't bear it when they stood under each team's scoreboard and saw that the number in the last box of the "Zhengming" column was "3". Everyone's eyes widened.
How can this be!
They are well-known in the entire Dongzhou City Special Police System, being the last team over the years.
Even they themselves are convinced of this.
Therefore, neither the captain nor the instructor came over for this competition, and Zou Qing, the back-office staff member who was supposed to be in charge of logistics, also did not show up.
"How is this possible!" exclaimed a SWAT team member who came to copy the score. He quickly patted his colleague standing next to him, "How did Zhengming become the third one? Could it be that he recruited some special forces?"
The colleague with green paint on his face was full of shock and confusion: "I don't know, there are only two projects left. If nothing happens, they will be in the top three in the end."
"Top three? You can't be the first! If a group of people still pretends to only send new police officers to the field, hey, this year will definitely be overturned." A passing special police officer couldn't help but comment.
"Haha, they are not stupid. They will definitely send their main players to play next. Hey, let's not talk about whether Zhengming is first. For them to be second is already an incredible result."
Since the SWAT detachment has a commando team that spends time in the training ground every day and training is their only job, in the eyes of the district and county brigade, being able to get second place as a team in the competition is already a very remarkable achievement.
"Second!" The SWAT officer who was the first to exclaim was shocked again and said unconvinced, "How can it be second! There is not only a single event of sniper rifles and a team event of assault and fortification, these two events are the same. If you compare, maybe Zhengming will have to go down a few places.”
"Haha." The passing SWAT police looked disdainful and pointed to the competition registration notice not far away. "Go and see for yourself who is participating in the sniping. Chen Shu! The sniper record of our competition is still held by others. of!"
"real?"
"Why did I lie to you? Everyone who is older knows this!" The special police officer passing by looked like he was well-informed and continued to speak plausibly, "The sniper attack will start first in the afternoon, and then Chen Shu will take down this After winning the individual events, Zhengming’s total score will soon exceed that of Yong’an, who is in second place. As long as they play steadily and do not make serious mistakes in the team event, they will basically not be able to finish second in the total score!”
"Not necessarily. I haven't touched a sniper rifle in so many years. Chen Shu's condition may not be maintained. I am still optimistic about Zhang Zhongzhen of the Assault Squadron. This guy is all-round. If it weren't for the convention that each person can only sign up for one It’s a small project, this guy might be able to score a hat trick!”
"You said that Zhang Zhongzhen chose the sniper project with the intention of deliberately challenging Chen Shu, the old sniper king?"
"This kid is very arrogant. I think that's what being inseparable means."
"Haha, childish! The candidate they directly assigned to the first team's sniper project before was not Zhang Zhongzhen. They changed the person temporarily! Including the final team assault project, you see, in the name column of the applicants, only their first team is on the original list Why did you put a new sticky note on it?”
"Could it be that a large group of them also started to face it seriously and finally put on a posture? Haha, this was rare in the past."
"Look! Look! Zhengming won the three single-person events of unarmed five kilometers, armed five kilometers and manual explosive disposal this time. If he wins another one in the afternoon sniper, it will be four. . Not much worse than the first team!”
"Haha, fortunately they are not very good at the 400-meter barrier, drones and rapid shooting, otherwise the limelight would have been stolen by them this time."
"You're lucky? Bro, the limelight has been stolen. Zhengming really turned around this time!"
The three of them copied the scores respectively, shook their heads and commented on the interesting things in the competition, and walked slowly to the temporary residence of their brigade.
With their backs to the three of them, Chen Chuan and Pu Shu, standing under the scoreboard, finally couldn't help but laugh. As the three of them left, they burst into laughter.
Chen Chuan raised his elbow and gave Pu Shu a gentle blow: "Great hero, are you happy?"
Pu Shu, a second-generation rich man who graduated from a sports school, was recognized by others for the first time not because of his family's financial advantages.
Pu Shu felt secretly happy, raised his eyebrows and said: "Brother Chuan, actually we can get third place this time thanks to your efforts."
"Huh? Let's take advantage of you, Brother Chuan. After winning a championship, you start complaining?"
"How dare you. Brother Chuan, have you ever heard of the story of "Tian Ji's Horse Racing"?" Pu Shu paused, smiled and looked at Chen Chuan, shook his head and said, "Now the king's horse and the horse above him .”
"roll!"
"Hahaha!"
