Chapter 438 Shocked the Whole Hong Kong
Although he knew it was very dangerous, Chen Liang, as the team leader of this escort mission, would not allow the goods to be lost in his hands.
Therefore, when the last car in the convoy slowed down and stopped, he knew that if he just ran away, the remaining two cars would never be able to escape the other party's gun.
Since there was no way to escape, he simply asked the drivers of the two cars to pull over, then quickly took out a few helmets from the trunk and distributed them to everyone. He then took out a Remington M870 shotgun, quickly loaded it, and used the two cars as cover with four other Blackwater bodyguards, ready to fight to the death with the fierce bandits.
Judging by Blackwater International's internal standards, the mission so far has not been a complete failure, but it is not far from failure.
After all, the three people in the last car are now unknown whether they are alive or dead, which means that three bodyguards may have died. This is a huge slap in the face for Blackwater International, which has been established for more than a year and has never been defeated in Hong Kong.
In addition, if the remaining people were also killed, the goods would undoubtedly fall into the hands of the other party, and the escort mission would inevitably fail, which would affect the reputation of Blackwater International.
Think about it, if during a mission, not only the cargo was lost, but also the employer and the bodyguard himself died, would that make them a laughing stock in the industry?
Chen Liang knew that he had no way out. He could either be beaten to death or fight back bravely and face death.
After helping Qian Liwen put on a spare bulletproof vest and helmet, and pinning him to the road to try to ensure the safety of his employer, Chen Liang discussed countermeasures with the other four colleagues over the headset, and then stared at the two cars carrying the gangsters that were getting closer and closer.
Even a light armored vehicle would be unable to handle the close-range fire of 7.62mm bullets, let alone an ordinary family car.
Therefore, the remaining people who are still staying in the car are definitely like an old man eating arsenic - they are unwilling to live long enough.
Chen Liang asked everyone to get off the car, and after taking protective measures, they either lay on the road or defend themselves on the spot using the car doors or the car body.
At this time, the two Singaporean guards in the van had been frightened out of their entire courage and just lowered their heads and lay still as the Blackwater bodyguards requested, and perhaps they could have saved their lives.
When the gangsters' vehicle was less than 30 meters away from them, Chen Liang shouted "fire", which immediately triggered a small-scale gun battle.
The crackling sound of popping beans and the ricocheting bullets scared other passing vehicles so much that they either turned around or sped past the scene of the gunfight.
Chen Liang really doesn't like this kind of battle where he has no idea of the enemy's firepower and number of people, but there is no other way. Now he and his colleagues can only rely on vehicles to defend. If they are lucky, they can survive until the police show up.
The bandits were not stupid either. When they found out that their opponents actually had a shotgun, a close-range killing weapon, they immediately slammed on the brakes and turned around, stopping the car more than 60 meters away from Chen Liang and the others.
After Chen Liang cursed inwardly, "How fucking cunning!", he quickly said into the headset, "Stop firing your pistols, save the bullets, brothers, use grenades."
That's right, in addition to non-lethal weapons such as flash grenades and stun grenades, Blackwater International also has grenades.
Logically speaking, the Hong Kong government and police do not allow them to use high-lethality and long-range weapons, and grenades are naturally within the stationary range.
However, Fang Hexuan still managed to smooth over the relationship with Hong Kong Governor Youde, which allowed Blackwater to increase its military strength to a certain extent, which might save lives at a critical moment.
Now, the two sides are more than 60 meters apart, which exceeds the effective range of ordinary pistols and greatly reduces the power of ordinary shotguns.
The bandits stopped at this distance, relying on the protection of the car, and were not really afraid of the threat of the shotgun. But on the contrary, these people could use the AK47 in their hands to suppress Chen Liang and his men with absolute firepower. If their marksmanship was not bad, it was not impossible to shoot them in the head.
Chen Liang naturally knew the danger involved, so he told everyone to use grenades.
Because they are allowed to use this weapon, grenade throwing training is a subject that all bodyguards must undergo at the Blackwater Training Center in Yuen Long.
For the Blackwater bodyguards, who have very scientific and efficient diet and training, throwing a ball of about 40 meters in a sandy field like the one in the training center is really easy. Many bodyguards can even throw more than 50 meters.
In the environment of hardened road, even if Chen Liang and his team can only throw 50 meters, the round projectile will roll another four or five meters, plus its killing radius of 5-10, which is really enough to give the bandits a hard time.
This was indeed the case. The eight gangsters who got off the two cars were blown to pieces before they could react when faced with five grenades falling from the sky.
The "horse" here refers to their cars. One of the cars was hit by a grenade that rolled under the car and was shaken like a bouncing ball, which also scared the bandits hiding nearby.
However, this was just the beginning. Although two of the five grenades rolled to the middle of the road, two of the remaining three, except for the one that exploded under the car, happened to roll in front of three bandits hiding on one side.
That scene is really too exciting!
To be honest, movies are definitely an art of exaggeration. In reality, the destructive power of many weapons is not that strong.
For example, it's almost impossible to kill someone with a single bullet, unless it's a headshot.
Why do American police often choose to empty all the bullets in their magazines when they encounter general dangers? Isn't it because one or two bullets hitting a person can't actually be immediately fatal or stop the suspect from moving?
Similarly, the destructive power of the grenade explosion was exaggerated in the movie. Even though the three gangsters were not wearing bulletproof vests and helmets, they were not blown to pieces by the armor-piercing shrapnel from the explosion of two grenades, nor did they die on the spot. They only had more than a dozen wounds all over their bodies, and then they rolled on the ground in pain.
Although the first wave of grenade rain did not take the lives of any bandits, it made three bandits lose their combat effectiveness, and Chen Liang and his men were happy.
After all, there were 60 grenades stored in the trunk of the Toyota Corona, enough for Blackwater's bodyguards to launch more than a dozen waves of explosions.
Faced with the unexpected powerful firepower and misjudgment of the enemy, the bandit leader obviously knew that he was in big trouble.
He was not stupid and he knew very well that the opponent would not just launch this wave of bombs and would definitely continue to launch bombs.
Before he could think for long, the second wave of grenades came from the opposite side. This time, because they were prepared and dodged in time, they only lost one of their men. However, half of their original eight men were now lying on the ground howling. The bandit leader was really panicked.
