Hong Kong Island Old Events

When He Dingxian arrived at the scene, the airport had been blocked by more than 300 police officers. Wang Zhe, the senior assistant director of Kowloon District, served as the commander-in-chief. Fifty police officers held guns in both hands and were on guard at the entrance and exit in front of the apron.

A Boeing saloon was parked alone on the berth, the front cabin door had been opened, and a British police superintendent was negotiating with the criminals.

"Sir."

Detective Huo Qilin from Kowloon Tong, wearing a white shirt, strode forward: "There are six robbers on the plane, holding AK rifles and holding a total of 67 hostages."

"This flight was diverted from the Philippines to Hong Kong Island. Thirty-five of the 67 people on board were Chinese and the remaining 19 were British."

"There are also thirteen foreigners from the United States, France, Singapore, and the Philippines."

He Dingxian nodded and glanced around the scene. His first thought was not how to deal with the criminals, but how to use this incident to achieve political goals.

First, the hijacking was an international incident with a huge political impact. Second, the incident happened suddenly. The military had no orders from the family and could not mobilize the garrison. Third, the plane landed in Kowloon District, and the overall responsibility must be assigned to Kowloon.

Although the military has always been the actual controlling party, monitoring and leading this incident, as long as the Hong Kong government does not enter a state of emergency, the military can only provide intelligence support and cannot mobilize troops out of the station.

If the Hong Kong government mobilizes the garrison for a hijacking incident, it will appear to be a big deal and lack police force.

It seems that this incident can easily achieve the political goal of establishing a special force. God is indeed the best director. An unexpected hijacking incident sounded the clarion call for the police force to counterattack.

This is not because the police force has to rely on coincidence to win a city, but the police force is responsible for public security and handling emergencies. Under the Cold War structure, the reason why the police force has high power proves that the international situation is not optimistic.

Even if the hijacking incident does not occur, there will still be other activities, prompting the police force to strengthen equipment and increase its force, which will become the reason for the police establishment. Historically, it was on March 13, 1971, that a Philippine National Airlines plane was hijacked and landed on Hong Kong Island. Due to insufficient handling capacity, the Hong Kong police finally decided to establish a special force and mobile force "Special Mission Company" to fly Tiger Team is the title given by the people.

He Dingxian just wants to promote the early establishment of the special mission company, and hold a new gun in his hand before the establishment of ICAC!

Unexpectedly, reasons, opportunities, and events all collided!

He secretly had some good luck in his heart. Sure enough, God will help those who help themselves. Sometimes you need a little luck to achieve success. If you follow the right path, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

"Where's Inspector Zonghua of Kowloon District?" He looked around in circles and looked at Huo Qilin and said: "When things happen in Kowloon District, the heads of various departments should be in place as soon as possible. If anything happens, I can't protect you." !”

Huo Qilin felt weak in his heart. When he heard the superior's scolding, he immediately saluted in a panic and stamped his feet: "Sir Lei is on his way over."

"snort."

He Dingxian snorted coldly, turned around and waved to Chen Zichao, who hurriedly stepped forward: "Sir He, the snipers have been arranged. The three stormtroopers have been formed and can start action at any time."

"Wait for my news."

"This time we have to rely on the serious crime team." He Dingxian patted Chen Zichao on the shoulder and stayed in Tai Kwun, just to hold on to this elite soldier and be able to use it at critical moments.

"Yes, sir!"

Chen Zichao stood at attention and saluted.

Huo Qilin bowed and followed humbly.

"Wang sir."

Ho Ting-yin came to shake hands with the top leaders of Kowloon District.

When Wang Zhe saw him arriving with the crime team, his expression was much satisfied, but his eyes were a little complicated. He said straightforwardly: "I'll leave the scene to you. Can we finish it in an hour?"

"Can."

He Dingxian hesitated for two seconds and immediately agreed. He was also surprised at Wang Zhe's cheerfulness.

As everyone knows, Wang Zhe is also a good person in politics and has already linked the dynamics of the Chinese police officers to the hijacking incident. Otherwise, how could things be such a coincidence? Xie Ling still needs to be tied to Ling, so leaving the action to him will naturally be the best.

"OK."

"From now on, the on-site command will be handed over to Sir He, and all departments will report directly to Sir He." Wang Zhe did not want to be responsible for this matter, and announced to the people present in public: "The highest goal of everything is to rescue the hostages!"

"Now, the international community is paying close attention to this incident, and the outcome of the case is related to the reputation of Hong Kong."

Although the news has not yet appeared in newspapers and citizens have not yet received the news, flight information is publicly available internationally, and the hijacking incident has already spread throughout the world. The entrance to Kai Tak Airport has been blocked by a large number of reporters from television, newspapers and radio stations. More than a hundred uniformed police officers have been deployed just to maintain the cordon.

"Yes, sir!"

He Dingxian stood at attention and saluted very formally. He watched Wang Zhe go to a chair in the corner and sit down. He turned to look at the British police superintendent in front of him who was negotiating with the robbers: "Tell me more about the situation inside the plane."

"The plane has a total of ninety seats, with 60 passengers and seven crew members, including two American pilots." The police superintendent was wearing a uniform, with white skin and stubble, and his eyes were full of intelligence, and he spoke eloquently. He said: "The six robbers are all American. The leader of the bandit has a tattoo on his neck and has been confirmed to be a special forces number."

"I also saw them using military hand gestures to communicate when I was on the plane. It is very likely that the robbers have served in the military and are an established special forces team."

He Dingxian lit up a cigarette and stood in the circle of police officers with a solemn expression. He already knew that today was a bloody battle. This may also be the most powerful and capable group of criminals that the Crime Squad has faced since its establishment.

"Sir."

"coffee."

A British female inspector wearing a hip-hugging skirt handed over a cup of iced coffee.

When He Dingxian saw the coffee cup, his pupils were full of surprise, but the ghost police officers turned a blind eye and took it for granted, which shows the ghost police officers' capable working style.

Upon seeing this, He Dingxian also took the coffee cup, took a big sip, returned it directly to the female inspector, and then motioned to the superintendent to continue.

The police superintendent said: "The robbers offered a ransom of US$500,000 and filled the plane with fuel. They asked for the ransom to be collected within two hours. A hostage would be killed ten minutes later."

"The key is that the robbers will use the in-flight radio and their calls can be intercepted by civilian radios. It is very likely that the conditions have been known to the outside world."

This is a subtle reminder to pay attention to public opinion. It can be seen that there are smart people among the robbers who know how to use public channels to put pressure on the Hong Kong government. The reason why KB operations occurred frequently during the Cold War was firstly due to the tense world situation and many activities had political purposes behind them. Secondly, due to the imitation effect, many people who had received military training or were simply reckless became professional gangsters. Third, the current anti-terrorism system is imperfect, resulting in many activities having a proliferation effect. If something happens once in one area, it may happen in another area.

However, the Philippines is indeed a country with extremely poor security. Not only is the political situation chaotic, but bandits are rampant. There have been no fewer than ten hijackings in history, making it the country with the most hijackings in Asia. There were two in 1971. The one on Hong Kong Island was just an appetizer.

"The Hong Kong police will never bow to criminals." He Dingxian held a cigarette and looked at the Boeing plane at the door through the glass: "Let the airport send refueling trucks first to refuel the Boeing plane, and replace all the refuelers with us people."

"Fire Qilin."

"Hey."

"He sir." Huo Qilin said hurriedly.

"You're in charge of refueling the truck."

Huo Qilin thought to himself, and quickly agreed: "Yes!"

"Sir!"

He Dingxian waved to the airport manager, pointed to the aircraft and said, "Can you identify what type of aircraft this is? Find one for me, or draw a cabin drawing."

"The cabin is backed up." The supervisor hurriedly said: "All aircraft that will land or transit on Hong Kong Island need to submit a cockpit layout diagram and design drawing. One copy is in the service department and the other is in the maintenance department."

"hurry up."

He Dingxian waved the people away and called for an airline manager: "Are there any helicopters at the airport?"

"There are three."

"Requisitioned." He Dingxian winked at Chen Zichao, who handed the walkie-talkie to Li Wenbin and asked Li Wenbin to lead a team of people to get the helicopter.

five minutes later.

He Dingxian pasted a drawing of a Boeing aircraft on the whiteboard, asked the three teams of the serious crime team to gather for a meeting, drew a red cross on the door of the aircraft drawing, and said: "The internal space of the aircraft is closed, the aisles are narrow, and the windows are It’s not big, it lacks external vision and has a large blind spot.”

"According to sniper observation, there is at least one robber guarding the hatch, responsible for observing the outside world."

"There are five people left, one at the end of the cabin and one guarding the rear safety door." He drew two more crosses on the drawing: "The remaining three move along the aisle to guard the hostages."

"The robber has the largest blind spot at the rear of the plane, and the remaining blind spot is in the sky."

All aircraft doors and windows have emergency switches on the outside. They cannot be opened and closed when flying at high altitudes or due to the influence of air pressure, but they can definitely be opened and closed on the tarmac.

"Team A, using the side view of the refueling truck to block the view, took a pickup truck to the tail cabin of the aircraft, and rushed along the bottom of the aircraft into the front door!" He Dingxian looked serious and used tough methods: "Team B, took a helicopter and climbed above the aircraft. Descend, open the rear hatch and break through."

"Team C is on standby at the boarding gate. If the breakthrough fails, all troops will be pressed in. All the gangsters must be killed."

Thirty members of the crime team were wearing action uniforms, holding firearms, and squatting on the ground with very solemn expressions. Since I started working, I have collected a lot of money and handled a lot of cases, but this is the first time I have carried out anti-terrorism activities in a small space. This is a cross-generational challenge for the crime team.

He Dingxian looked at everyone and reminded: "This operation is very dangerous. The police force has borrowed body armor, bulletproof helmets and sights from the military for you. There are a total of 67 lives on board. I don't ask you to bring back how many people." .”

"I have only one request, don't let anyone else die on board!"

Chen Zichao, Li Wenbin and other thirty police officers from the serious crime team shouted in unison: "Yes, sir!"

The sound spread throughout the station, and all the police officers looked sideways, knowing that the Chinese police officers were about to take action.

It is true that among the Gui Lao police officers there are elite teams with better equipment and better quality than the crime squad. However, the Gui Lao police officers obviously will not risk their lives on the reputation of this city. The hard work that requires their lives has always been done by the Chinese.

"In two minutes, all personnel will change equipment. Group A and Group C will go to the predetermined point and get ready. Group B will stay for five minutes to learn how to open the hatch." After He Dingxian said this, the police officers moved They stood up, put on their equipment neatly, and then rushed to the battlefield.
