Simulation Game: Crisis Management
Chapter 500 - 234: Combat in the Narrow Train Car
The hidden implication of Wu Kang’s words is actually the danger of rushing into the subway car alone.
They needed to consider two factors:
First, Jingshang Gaoming did not give them the right to shoot;
This meant that even if they found the criminal in the car, they couldn’t shoot, exposing themselves to danger and possibly endangering the civilians around them.
Second, how many people Liangben sent this time, and what weapons they were equipped with, were unknown;
Entering the car alone meant separating from the main force, with little chance of immediate backup.
Since the bloody battle at the Funeral Mountain during the day, Wu Kang had kept it in mind, as the second basic principle of police tactics is always to prioritize control and ensure safety!
"Don’t forget the objective of this mission, Mr. Qiao instructed us to protect Jian Na and her family with all our efforts. Now both are in Liangben’s hands, we must catch up; otherwise, the whole operation might fail. Follow my orders, and I, Gu Ji, will bear any consequences!"
Gu Ji quickly explained once, pressed the earphone, stepped into the carriage, and aimed the gun to the right: "Report! We’re preparing to enter the carriage for pursuit! Repeat...Gao Bo! Both sides ready!"
Upon hearing the word "bear," Wu Kang was momentarily startled.
Only at that moment did he understand why Gu Ji could always become the commander among everyone during every drill or action.
For one, his abilities were excellent, calm and composed; on the other, and most importantly, he was daring and responsible.
If it were him, he feared he wouldn’t have the courage to utter words like Gu Ji’s.
After all, if something went wrong, it wouldn’t just be about losing the police uniform; it might even mean facing jail time.
Without a word, Gao Bo followed closely, aiming the gun to the left.
"If I die, so be it!" Wu Kang murmured, gritting his teeth, squeezing in at the last moment before the door closed, and keeping his gun misaligned with Gu Ji to broaden the field of view.
Inside the carriage, the panicked passengers were all crowded on one side, eyes shocked as they looked at Gu Ji and the other two.
"SAT, don’t be afraid, everyone move back!"
Gu Ji extended his left hand, softly reassuring everyone, while his right hand drew out a USP handgun from the quick-draw holster on his waist, then tightened the tactical sling to securely fix the MP5A5 on his chest, "Narrow space, tight formation, pay attention to weapon switching, Gao Bo’s Vanguard, Wu Kang brings up the rear!"
"Yes! Ready to take over!"
"Permission to take over!"
Gao Bo and Wu Kang each said a phrase, rapidly changing their formation while simultaneously switching their primary and secondary weapons.
It is well known that in modern combat, handguns are absolutely emergency weapons and are essentially "not very useful." This is because of their low power, slow rate of fire, and relative lack of accuracy. Today, with the widespread use of personal protection, any level III body armor can defend against 9mm rounds from any distance.
Yet special forces from various countries still insist on practicing quick shooting with handguns, one main reason being to deal with scenes like this.
Narrow space, long depth, complex surrounding personnel.
In such scenarios, if sudden situations occur on either side, submachine guns find it hard to perform quick shots of "moving the gun, coarse aiming, shooting" in the first instance due to being easily jammed in place, let alone assault rifles.
In contrast, handguns have a shorter draw distance, allowing for faster draw speeds and easier control.
At the same time, the gun-holding posture of the three men was also different.
Gao Bo was positioned at the front, holding the gun with bent arms, keeping the handgun close to his chest, looking very cautious.
In reality, the reason for bending the arms was not only because of the tight space but, most importantly, the bent arms enabled quicker and more flexible adjustments in aiming direction.
If one held the conventional gun posture, straightening the arms, then trying to change the aim direction would require the shoulder and hip joints to exert force, unlike the bent arm.
Gu Ji’s arm rested on Gao Bo’s right shoulder, aiming in a diagonal right direction.
This positioning allowed for comprehensive coverage while filling the gaps in Gao Bo’s vision.
Because over the past four years, the two had cooperated countless times and naturally knew each other’s primary viewing angle.
This relates to the dominant eye and habits.
The things the dominant eye sees are prioritized by the brain, and individuals habitually rely on the dominant eye’s imaging to analyze and locate objects.
As for Wu Kang, he maintained the posture Gu Ji used when retreating from the encirclement at Funeral Mountain.
Aiming backward, he prevented unexpected situations and potential enemy ambushes.
The three, with slightly bent knees, took ninja strides, moving in the direction the subway was heading—the direction the grey-clad men were fleeing.
During the march, Gu Ji diverted a part of his attention, opened the Ghost Server, and located the role "Jian Na."
That’s right.
The reason he had just told Gao Bo to disregard the lone fleeing grey-clad man was that the Ghost Server, upon selecting a direct connection, could, to some extent, locate and simulate the environment around the chosen character and her current activity status through optical signal reflection.
Just like when Gu Ji first contacted Jian Na and saw her sitting by her bedroom bed.
Currently, Jian Na was mixed in the crowd, standing in the center of the carriage, with a grey-clad man beside her, seemingly holding her waist with a gun.
Numerous bright spots flickered around, all devices through which he could send messages to Jian Na.
Most were mobile phones and smartwatches.
Gu Ji selected one closest to Jian Na.
At that moment, the phone was being briskly tapped by a business-suited man, seemingly describing the terrifying incident that had just occurred in the subway station to a friend.
