It didn't take long for the three members of the emergency response team to reach an agreement and decide to enter the castle.
What 03 said was right. Zhang Heng's initiative to give up mobility and switch to a defensive strategy was tantamount to giving up his biggest advantage. As his opponent, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they had no reason not to seize it. However, the three of them also knew very well that Zhang Heng must have his reasons for making such a decision.
Therefore, before entering the castle, the three of them had done a lot of preparation work, especially after noticing the smoke drifting in the castle. They were equipped with heat detectors to deal with this kind of environment. At the same time, they paid attention to the traps that might appear in the castle.
However, they were obviously overthinking the latter point. Other than the fact that he only had two bullets left, the most important reason for giving up on guerrilla warfare was actually very simple. He just wanted to end the battle in the shortest time possible.
Compared to ambushing in an open space, fighting in the castle was indeed more dangerous. However, it saved him a lot of time, and it was very suitable for Zhang Heng, who was eager to rush back to the station.
…
After getting ready, the thirty people from Shengtang Morgan Group cautiously entered the castle.
They were divided into five teams of six people. The distance between each team was about three meters. This way, they could not only prevent themselves from being wiped out by a bomb trap, but they could also quickly support each other in the event of an accident.
In addition to the heat detector carried by No.2 of the emergency response team, the other two federal police squads were also equipped with one according to the regulations. As the commander, No.8 redistributed the three heat detectors. Among them, the leading team held one, responsible for exploring the way. The team on the right also held one, responsible for covering the blind spots that the previous team failed to find.
As for the last heat detector, it was still in No.2's hand. No.8 did not have any requirements for this heat detector. Basically, he let No.2 observe the place freely. Although the heat detector could only detect a certain distance in front of them, the coverage area was quite wide when three heat detectors were used together.
As the first group of people walked into the castle, there were no gunshots coming from inside. The castle was quiet as if there was no one there, and there was no detection on the heat detector. After that, the second group followed closely behind and cooperated with the first group to stay alert. Until the fifth group also crossed the gate, all 30 people of Shengtang Morgan Group walked into the castle.
Whether it was the first or second team that entered first, or No.2 that followed behind, none of them found Zhang Heng for the time being.
No.8 ordered the two teams of federal police to conduct a general search on the first floor. After confirming that it was safe, they moved to the second floor.
Similar to the previous strategy, a group of people took the lead, and the rest of the people followed behind. As soon as the first group turned the stairs, a gunshot was heard. The federal police officer who took the lead was shot and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the three plainclothes officers disguised as emergency response team members were also wearing the latest generation of bulletproof vests. One of them took off his bulletproof vest and gave it to the federal police officer who walked in front to put it on. This saved the latter's life.
After that, his companions took the risk to drag him back. After that, everyone began to fight back and spread out to find cover. At the same time, the other side did not hesitate to shoot at them.
For a while, gunshots rang out in the corridor.
However, after fighting for a while, the three members of the emergency response team noticed that something was wrong.
No.8 gestured to the federal police officer who walked at the front and asked him if he had seen Zhang Heng earlier. The federal police officer said that the smoke in the corridor was too thick, and his vision was blocked. As soon as he turned the corner, he was shot by a sniper rifle.
However, the heat detector on his hand still responded, showing that there was a figure at the other end of the corridor. However, this statement did not make No.8 feel at ease. On the contrary, it made him feel even more uneasy. After that, he signaled everyone to cease fire and retreat to a place where they could not see Zhang Heng. However, the gunshots from the other side did not stop.
At this time, the three emergency response team members had confirmed that they had fallen into Zhang Heng's trap. If ordinary people were in a tense situation, they might not be able to control themselves and open fire. However, it was impossible for a master like Zhang Heng to make such a low-level mistake. Although the two sides were fighting fiercely earlier, the team that stood at the front was only a small team. Other than the guy wearing bulletproof vests who was shot by the sniper rifle, the rest were still alive and kicking.
It was not that No.8 looked down on the ability of these federal police officers. However, compared to Zhang Heng, their current strength was not enough to support this two-color battle.
"Let's go and see what's going on," said No.03.
No.8 nodded when he heard that. So the three of them called the other three federal police officers and went to the corridor again. This time, because they were closer, the three emergency response team members heard more details from the gunshots, including some environmental sounds that did not match reality.
"A recording?" No.03 said.
Immediately after that, No.2 also found that the humanoid target in the heat detector was not moving at all. After that, No.8 sent two federal police officers to carefully walk over. Finally, they found the inflatable heat inducer at the end of the corridor, as well as a recording pen next to it.
No.8 immediately thought of something, and his expression changed. "Everyone, gather here!"
After counting the number of people, cold sweat flowed down No.8's back. He did not expect to lose ten people in such a short period of time. The two missing teams were standing at the back. Since they had checked the first floor and confirmed that Zhang Heng was not here, and the battle mainly happened in the corridor, the three emergency response team members did not pay much attention to the situation at the back.
They did not expect Zhang Heng to play a diversionary tactic. When he sniped the target earlier, Zhang Heng was at the end of the corridor. After that, he deceived everyone with the recording pen and the heat inducer, attracting everyone's attention to this corridor. Then, he used some unknown method to quietly avoid the three heat detectors and went to the first floor.
When No.8 rushed back to the first floor with his men, they only saw corpses on the ground. The fatal wounds on their bodies were all knife wounds, and they were killed in one shot. There was no chance for them to struggle or cry for help.
