South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 222 Support Arrives

After bandaging Lao Liu, Yuan Mu stood up, lit a cigarette and looked back, but he never saw the police car coming for support.

"It's too damn slow. If we wait any longer the day lily will be cold!" Yuan Mu cursed in his heart.

The police response speed in this era was indeed not as fast as in later generations. There are several reasons for this. The first is the inconvenience of communication. Although there are landline phones, there are no phones in the patrol cars outside.

Moreover, the current public security system is still imperfect, and the coordination between all levels is not so effective. If it were in the future, if his subordinates dared to be so slow, he would guarantee that they would be beaten up.

But now he had no choice but to worry and watch the criminals drive away. If he had known this would happen, he should not have driven the car himself in the first place. He should have let someone else drive and just sat in the passenger seat. This way he could have burst the tires in time.

This Liu Jun is really a drag. Thinking of this, Yuan Mu turned around and looked at Liu Jun who was squatting on the ground. He wanted to scold him, but gave up. After all, he was not in the same system as him, and he was not his leader.

Liu Jun is indeed young, looking to be in his early twenties, but his courage is commendable. When I called on people to chase the criminals, he was the first to respond, but he was a little overambitious.

"Liu Jun! You're squatting there! Keep calling and see if they've arrived!" Yuan Mu was so angry that he shouted when he saw that he was still squatting there.

"Oh, oh!" Hearing Yuan Mu's shout, he quickly responded and ran towards the police car.

About twenty seconds later, Liu Jun stuck his head out and shouted excitedly.

"Chief Yuan, there's a signal, the call has come!"

"Okay!" Yuan Mu showed an excited smile, then quickly ran to the passenger seat of the police car and snatched the intercom.

"I'm Yuan Mu, may I ask where you are?"

"Comrade Yuan Mu, I am Zhi Haidong, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the District Public Security Bureau! We have passed the rollover site and are continuing to move forward. Please tell me about the situation at the scene!" Soon a voice came from the intercom.

"Captain! Our car can no longer run. The engine is damaged, the windshield is shattered, and one police officer was shot. Please provide support immediately!" Yuan Mu replied quickly.

"Okay! Hold on, we'll be there soon!"

"Captain! Have you notified the police in Jizhou District? The direction this gang of criminals wants to go is Jizhou. There is a winding mountain beside the highway. If we let them enter the winding mountain, it will cause us great inconvenience!"

"Comrade Yuan Mu! The Jizhou police have been notified. They have set up a checkpoint on the Daling Highway and will definitely stop them before they reach Panshan!"

"Captain, do you have any heavy firepower with you? The enemy's firepower is too strong. If we only have pistols, it will be difficult for us to form an effective fire suppression!"

After these words were spoken, the other party was silent for a moment and then spoke.

"Comrade Yuan Mu, we don't have heavy firepower, we only have pistols, not even grenades!"

Yuan Mu slapped his forehead and sighed heavily. This is a joke! If you don't have heavy firepower, you can just get a few rifles. There are no grenades. My God, this is too poor!

But Yuan Mu himself knew that this was the real situation now. The police in this era were so poor that they did not have very good weapons. Except for the criminal police team, some police stations below did not even have the basic Type 54 pistol.

If you pull them out, you will see that their weapons are all made in various countries, including pistols of all brands. Some of them even hold Mauser pistols in their hands. What's worse, some even hold pistol shells.

As for this Wangbake gun, even if you use it to commit suicide, you will still complain that it will jam. It is simply garbage. It cannot be more garbage.

Yuan Mu was really worried about the upcoming gunfight. They haven't even started the real fight yet, but they have already lost two police cars and four people. The car flipped into a ditch before, and they didn't know what happened to the two police officers in the front row.

He himself didn't care, but he was worried about the other police officers. They didn't have the tactical awareness and marksmanship like him. These gangsters were not simple. Liu Jun tried to puncture the tire twice before, but was stopped by the gangster who was driving the car.

Although Liu Jun was the one who held back, the gangster who was driving the car had a very good combat awareness. He was able to make accurate judgments even when the rearview mirror was broken. This is really rare.

Also, these bandits’ shooting skills were really good. If they hadn’t been driving, it would have taken them so long that no one would have survived. They tried their best to avoid the bullets, but even so, one person was still injured.

It must be said that Liu Jun is indeed a lucky kid. He was almost hit by bullets several times, but in the end, none of them hit him. He was just scratched by glass fragments, which is not a big deal.

Soon, seven or eight police cars drove over from a distance and stopped beside them.

A policeman in uniform, probably in his thirties, got out from the passenger seat of the police car in the front. He glanced at the situation at the scene and walked over quickly.

"Are you Comrade Yuan Mu?" The policeman finally walked up to Yuan Mu and said.

He just observed that the person who best met the requirements at the scene was Yuan Mu.

"I'm Yuan Mu, and you're the detachment leader?" Yuan Mu nodded.

"Yes, I am Zhi Haidong!"

"Okay, Captain, let's stop being polite and hurry up, let's chase him. Lao Liu is injured, send a car to take him to the hospital first!" Yuan Mu said hurriedly.

"Okay!" Zhi Haidong nodded and then hailed a car to take Lao Liu away first.

Afterwards, Yuan Mu got directly into Zhi Haidong's car. Liu Jun also ran over at this time, opened the door and wanted to sit in. Fortunately, there was no one in the back seat of the car except Yuan Mu, otherwise he would not be able to get in.

"What are you doing?" Yuan Mu looked at him in surprise.

"I'll go with you to chase the bandits!" Liu Jun said as a matter of course.

"Just pull a few levers and get out! I asked you to puncture the tire just now, but you couldn't even hit it. What else can you do? Get out!" Yuan Mu scolded.

"Chief Yuan! This is the first time I've encountered such a situation. I've adapted to it now. I promise not to hold you back again. I'm not afraid of death!" Liu Jun quickly assured.

"Hiss!" Yuan Mu was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhi Haidong.

"Alright, Comrade Yuan Mu, let him follow. It has been so long now that the criminals must have run away. We have to hurry!"

"Okay! Let's go!" Yuan Mu glared at Liu Jun fiercely and then spoke.

Liu Jun smiled at Yuan Mu, then looked straight ahead without saying anything. Yuan Mu shook his head helplessly, hoping that this kid wouldn't do anything weird for a while.
