Simulation Game: Crisis Management-Chapter 275 - 144: Forest Capture

Gu Ji nodded in agreement with Liu Weijun and Zeng Dan's proposal.

He recalled many case analyses of police arrest operations in his mind, and the final conclusion was identical to theirs.

There are many factors affecting the casualty count in police duty execution. Setting aside national legal protections and the level of social and economic development, three points are crucial right now:

Equipment and protective gear;

Self-defense skills and tactical level;

Self-protection awareness.

The latter two points aren't cause for concern; it's mainly due to the vast disparity in equipment. In current operations, weapons greatly enhance human combat power. A child with an AK47 can easily kill a group of unarmed men with a pull of the trigger.

Special police aren't superhumans; long-range, high-precision, high-power weapons are no different from guns to them.

Moreover.

"This is an organized and premeditated kidnapping case. The other side may have undergone some degree of training. I've observed Zhao Hua's drone operating skills—not top-notch but close. To evade branches in dense forest but not escape the opponent's crossbow shows tactical allure and precision—suggesting the shooter isn't lacking in accuracy!"

Gu Ji stared into the direction where the suspect had disappeared for a while, then continued, "So, for such a group of suspects, would they anticipate the island exit being blocked and prepare a second emergency plan for retreat, like... taking a water route?"

"A water route!?"

Zeng Dan and Liu Weijun exclaimed in unison, their eyes flashing with shock.

It must be said.

Gu Ji's analysis truly was astounding!

Even Liu Weijun of the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team hadn't thought of this. The possibility of taking a water route wasn't non-existent; in fact, it was quite high. Since Tianhu is the third-largest freshwater lake in Xia Kingdom, its area is vast, totaling 2,427.8 square kilometers, with a shoreline of 393.2 kilometers, second only to Erhai Lake in Lijiang.

Every year, quite a few drowning and disappearance cases occur in Tianhu.

This shows the difficulty of searching the water route.

Gu Ji pulled up the Tianhu Mountain Scenic Area route map on his phone, "The suspect's current position is at Tianhu Western Mountain. The best route in this region is here, south to Wugu Bay. We might be able to notify the water police in advance to inspect nearby suspicious boats and force them to the shore. Waterway capture operations are easier than in forested areas!"

"I'll notify the Tianhu Mountain Scenic Area Water Police Unit immediately!"

Gao Bo decisively took out his phone.

Liu Weijun and Zeng Dan exchanged a glance, unanimously deciding to proceed with Gu Ji's plan.

Wu Kang secretly watched the pensive Gu Ji, the thought of surpassing him faded more and more. While Wu was still engrossed in the tension from facing the crossbow-wielding culprits, Gu Ji had already formulated a complete tactical capture plan in his mind.

This gap couldn't be bridged by a few sessions of training or memorizing a few capture case scenarios.

It required substantial real-world battle experience!

Once Gao Bo finished notifying the Tianhu Water Police, everyone immediately started taking action.

Liu Weijun charged ahead with a sandbag, Gao Bo second, Gu Ji third, Zeng Dan fourth, followed by Zhou Yang and Wu Kang. Thanks to the previous analysis, the entire team gradually formed into a tactical squad under Gu Ji's leadership.

In truth, although Gu Ji had rich combat experience, he wasn't at an expert level. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The reason he thought of the "water route" plan, unlike Liu Weijun and Zeng Dan, was primarily due to the uniqueness of the kidnapped individuals!

The world doesn't have that many coincidences.

The suspect went to such great lengths to kidnap Jian Xing primarily to coerce Jian Na and the code behind her: 7472. Whether the instigators were the Japan Cabinet, the FBI, or any other forces, those daring enough to target "7472" would not be uncomplicated.

Thus, having a second emergency plan is imperative.

Additionally, having just received NMIOTC maritime close combat training, his mental reflexes naturally leaned towards amphibious warfare considerations.

Although there were three suspects, carrying the unconscious Jian Xing would limit their mobility. With Liu Weijun's excellent scouting and tracking capabilities, the gap between the two sides was rapidly closing, and visible trample marks and broken branches became evident along the path.

"Find cover!!"

As they were running, Liu Weijun, at the forefront, suddenly shouted.

At the moment they heard the command, everyone instinctively dove and rolled towards the trunks beside them. In the next second, a "whoosh" could be heard as a shadow swiftly passed through the trees, embedding into a plum tree trunk behind Wu Kang, emitting a vibrating, elastic sound of "dong dong dong".

"A crossbow! With reflection, equipped with an optical sight!"

In front, Liu Weijun leaned against the trunk, inhaling while sharing all the information he saw with the team.

Gu Ji's eyes turned icy.

The central nervous system was highly active, and he quickly came up with a plan, speaking in a low voice:

"Zhou Yang, replace Gao Bo as the second position, responsible for scouting enemy movements. Monk, I, and Zeng Dan will try to advance, using verbal threats to force the suspects to surrender and pressure them to move towards the water route!"

"Zhou Yang is taking over the second position!"

"Replacement complete!"

Gao Bo swiftly rolled back to Wu Kang's side.

The reason Gu Ji arranged it this way was because, besides their phones' telephoto lenses, their only remaining reconnaissance means was Zhou Yang's naked eye.

Before becoming a special police sniper, everyone starts as an observer.

Therefore, Zhou Yang's dynamic vision and quick-moving observation ability were undoubtedly the strongest among them. Placing him in the second position maximizes the safety of the team members.
