By reporter Chuwanzhong and communication correspondent Lishanming of our newspaper, this was a battle that ended quickly: from breaking the door to capturing the violent thug, it only took 10 seconds! This was an event where the armed police officers saved a person under the gun in opposition to the thugs: after experiencing a nightmare of being held hostage by two armed thugs for over 20 hours, the 13-year-old boy Wang Jinfang from Qujing, Yunnan, was finally rescued in the operation conducted by undercover armed police! This happened on May 4th.
At 1:05 PM, the combat duty room of the Qujing detachment of the Yunnan Provincial Corps of the Armed Police received a call report from the command center of the Qujing Public Security Bureau: "At around 11 PM on May 3rd, Wang Jinfang, a student of the No. 8 Middle School in Qilin District, Qujing City, was kidnapped by three criminal suspects. The criminal suspects demanded a ransom of 600,000 yuan from his family. The criminal gang threatened that if they did not receive the ransom by 5 PM on May 4th, they would disable the hostage, and if their goal was not achieved, they would kill the hostage."
At 1:30 PM, the detachment urgently convened a combat meeting, where Detachment Commander Fang Hongxiao reported the case. After the meeting, the detachment quickly activated the anti-terrorism plan, fully preparing for all aspects of the combat mission. At 2 PM, according to the distribution of the criminal suspects, Detachment Commander Fang Hongxiao led 10 anti-terrorism special operations team members with the public security bureau's criminal investigation personnel to rush to the front line in Dezhe Township, Zhan Yi County.
At 5:10 PM, the public security organs learned through satellite positioning tracking that one of the criminal suspects was driving a mini-bus fleeing towards Qujing from Dezhe Township. Chief of Staff He Shan immediately led 10 soldiers with the public security police to set up roadblocks at the Chengqiao toll station and a fork in the road in Zhan Yi County.
At 6:50 PM, the public security police followed the vehicle of the criminal suspects to Panjiang Township, Zhan Yi County, and quickly intercepted the vehicle when they got out to urinate, capturing one criminal suspect. Through a sudden trial, it was learned that the other two criminal suspects were holding a hostage with handguns, steel bead guns, daggers, and machetes, hiding in an abandoned quarry 5 kilometers south of Dezhe Township, Zhan Yi County.
At 7:30 PM, Detachment Commander Fang Hongxiao led the anti-terrorism special operations team to advance to the location where the criminal suspects were hiding to carry out the arrest. "Go!" At 7:32:20 PM, following Fang Hongxiao's order, 10 anti-terrorism special operations team members approached the room where the criminal suspects were hiding like lightning. Platoon Leader Wang Wenfei quickly rushed to the door and instantly broke it open with a door-breaking device. Fang Hongxiao led Training Advisor Zhou Yang and eight anti-terrorism special operations team members rushing into the room like the wind. Taking advantage of the moment when the two thugs were about to grab their weapons to resist, Fang Hongxiao used a strong flashlight and electric baton, using swift and continuous enemy-capturing movements, causing the criminal suspects to instantly lose their ability to resist and subdue them. Deputy Political Commissar Wang Jialin led two anti-terrorism special operations team members to quickly carry out the hostage Wang Jinfang, who was tied up by the thugs, out of the room without any harm, ensuring his safety.
In just 10 seconds, the entire battle was over. None of the participating soldiers were injured, and the hostage was successfully rescued. Two criminal suspects were captured, confiscating one imitation Type 54 pistol, over 20 bullets, one steel bead gun, over 100 steel bead bullets, one machete, and one dagger. At 10:30 PM, the soldiers of the detachment, led by Detachment Commander Fang Hongxiao, handed over the two criminal suspects to the Qujing police.
