The "Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel" is 1.86 kilometers long. It was built in the late 1960s on Hong Kong Island and opened to traffic on August 2, 1972. The total length is 1.86 kilometers.
It spent HK$320 million to build, connecting Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, undertaking the historical mission of expanding the Hong Kong Island economic zone and connecting the two islands' highway network.
Since the "Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel" was opened to traffic, the round trip time from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island has been greatly shortened, and the Kowloon Peninsula has also transformed from a "rural area" to an "urban area", making an important contribution to the economic development of Hong Kong Island. It can be said to be the transportation artery of Hong Kong Island. I don’t know how much manpower, material and financial resources were spent to finally build the Hung Hom Tunnel.
The "Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel" has also become one of the landmark projects on Hong Kong Island. It has been in use for more than 20 years and is expected to serve for more than 50 years.
There are a total of 16 toll gates at the entrance and exit of the tunnel. The tunnel entrance is very wide, but a warning cordon has been set up outside the gates. The gates are full of police members with guns and nervous expressions on guard. The team members pointed their guns at the inside of the tunnel.
A large number of reporters, medical staff, photographers, and evacuated citizens stayed outside the cordon. At this time, buses were taking the evacuated unrelated citizens back to the city in batches and registering them. Journalists and photographers are required to show their press credentials, otherwise they will be expelled.
At this moment, citizens, police officers, and reporters on the scene saw the "No. 1" special car arriving at the scene. They thought it was Director Peng Zhicong who came to the scene in person.
Although the criminal wanted to see Deputy Director Zhuang Shikai by name, there was a huge terrorist activity, and it was natural for "Brother No. 1" to come forward.
However, when everyone was looking forward eagerly, waiting for "Brother 1" and "Sir Zhuang" to appear together, they did not expect that the person coming off the "1" car was Sir Zhuang!
"Crack!!!" Click, click, the spotlights on the scene flashed into one. The frontline workers and police officers all had their eyes widened, their pupils dilated, and their faces were full of shock.
what happened? Does the sun come out in the west today? Not only did the largest explosion in history occur at the Hung Hom Tunnel, but Sir Chong actually appeared in special car No. 1! Could it be that in just ten minutes, the weather on Hong Kong Island has changed? You know, the British government still has the final say! Can Chinese police officers also ride on the No. 1 bus?
Immediately, the Chinese police officers on the scene were all in high spirits, and the police officers quickly moved forward to greet the "sir".
The reason why the "No. 1" special car is allocated by the Commissioner of Police, not the Hong Kong Governor or the Chief Executive. That's because Hong Kong Island experienced the "Japanese Occupation Period", which made Hong Kong Island citizens aware of the weakness of the British Hong Kong government. The Hong Kong Island Police Force, which was mainly created by Chinese people, is the greatest force and reliance to ensure the safety of Hong Kong Island citizens.
Therefore, when the "Japanese Occupation Period" ended that year, the British Hong Kong government sought to regain management rights and people's support. By collecting public opinion and passing a bill, the "1" license plate will be designated as the police chief's vehicle.
This "No. 1" license plate is not allocated to the Commissioner of Police's car, but to the 30,000 Chinese in the Hong Kong Island Police Force! It is the support of the five million Chinese people in Hong Kong to the Hong Kong Island Police Force, and it is also the encouragement of the five million Chinese people in Hong Kong to the Hong Kong Island Police Force!
But the ghost guy always likes to play tricks on the citizens. Under the British Hong Kong government, the police commissioners are all ghosts. What does the No. 1 car have to do with the Chinese in the police force?
As long as the British Hong Kong government exists, all the people on the No. 1 train will be ghosts.
Today, a Chinese officer wearing a white uniform stepped off the No. 1 special car in front of many reporters and cameras.
Starting today, the police force on Hong Kong Island will always be a Chinese police force!
The supreme commander of the police, supported by five million Chinese citizens and served by 30,000 Chinese, finally became a resolute and powerful Yanhuang face.
"Crack!"
A picture slips off the camera.
This is a historical photo.
Zhuang Shikai, surrounded by a group of security police officers, bent down and lowered his head, raised the cordon, and leaned into the front-line area.
"Sir Zhuang."
"Sir Zhuang!" Liu Jianming from the Criminal Intelligence Division, Colin Guoxiong from the Public Relations Division, Zhang Zaishan from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Section and other inspector-level front-line police officers stepped forward, raised their hands in salute, and spoke out to report.
In addition, there were a group of police officers and several Chinese superintendents standing nearby, such as Huang Weiyao, Cai Yuanqi and others. They were previously responsible for holding down the front line and issuing command decisions.
Many police officers first looked at the officer's epaulette. When they discovered that the officer's epaulette still displayed the police title "DCP", they knew that the officer was serving as "acting director" rather than suddenly becoming director.
After all, most grassroots police officers and police officers are not well informed about high-level information. The truth of the incident can only be obtained through the information conveyed in the "Police Regulations", "No. 1" special car, epaulettes and other details.
However, just like this, many grassroots police officers will know that there are sudden big changes at the top of the police force. Otherwise, the "Emergency Ordinance" would not be activated, let alone the birth of the "Acting Director".
It seems... today, both the streets and the headquarters are full of crises! Many grassroots police officers knew what was going on, and when they knew that a major incident was happening, they braced themselves and looked very nervous.
"Yes." Zhuang Shikai nodded slightly, stood in the middle of the crowd, raised his head and looked forward, and said, "The latest situation on the scene."
"Fifty-four people died and 67 were injured. There were five criminals in total, possessing explosives and AK rifles, and holding a total of 132 hostages..."
Outside the cordon, reporters were calling the name of "Sir Zhuang". Some asked about the next step of the police force, and some asked about the situation of "Brother No. 1". All the topics and cameras focused on Director Zhuang, but Zhuang Shikai was completely unaware of it. Li, as if he had never heard of it, led the frontline police officers to keep their eyes on the front and quickly understand the latest news.
He is here to solve problems, rescue hostages, and do work!
Not here to show off! No time for them!
All the big bosses in the Chinese business world, after returning home from the banquet, all turned on the TV and stared at the TV screen...
These big bosses clenched their fists, filled with indignation, and secretly worried about the police force.
They are all old fritters.
The first time I heard about the Hung Hom Tunnel explosion, I thought of high-level politics and felt that it was a strong revenge by the British against the Chinese in the police force!
And they...
You guessed it right!
The possibility is over ninety-nine percent!
Inside the tunnel.
There are one hundred and thirty-two hostages.
And the number of deaths and casualties has increased again!
This is what Cai Yuanqi said.
Zhuang Shikai's face was so gloomy that he was about to shed tears. His eyes were fixed on the dark entrance of the tunnel, and there seemed to be some monster hidden at the entrance.
He wanted to take out the monster.
Kill him hard!
"Dry!"
At this time, the bandit leader "Hong Jipeng" was standing in the middle of the Hung Hom Tunnel, raising his hand to install a bomb vest on a hostage.
Suddenly, he felt uncomfortable. He twisted his shoulders, looked back at the entrance of the cave, and said a curse word.
"call."
A dark wind swept into the cave.
That's not wind, it's murderous intent!
"hehe."
"Small boy!"
"You're lucky!" Hong Jipeng hung an AK gun belt on his shoulder, buckled a bomb vest to the hostage, held a police ID in his hand, raised his hand to pinch the police officer's face: "Go find your Mr. Zhuang! "
…
"Uh-huh!"
At this time.
Dozens of police cars and plain-clothed police cars were parked outside the tunnel entrance.
A large crowd gathered around the command vehicle.
"Zhang Zaishan", senior inspector of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Division, quickly laid out an architectural drawing on the roof of the car.
He was seen holding a flashlight in his right hand, pointing to the tunnel drawings with his left hand and saying: "Based on the explosion traces at the scene and the images of the explosion, the criminal used plastic explosives, which is also commonly known as C4 explosives."
"Name of charge: Hong Jipeng, a native of Guangdong Province in the Mainland, listed on the fugitive list."
"The accomplices involved in the crime include his younger brother Hong Jibiao, fellow villagers Li Shengwu, Li Guangli, and Zhang Jiaxuan."
"These five people once planned a gold shop robbery and made a profit of 3 million Hong Kong dollars." Another serious case inspector interjected.
Lin Guoxiong said: "Public public opinion is huge, and the public relations department has not revealed much information for the time being and has maintained emergency silence."
Big event.
The amount of information is huge.
At this moment, various departments are reporting news in a flurry.
Zhuang Shikai nodded first, and then looked at the drawings. Zhang Zaishan then moved his fingers, fixed on the drawings and said: "Based on the traces on the scene, the explosions at the two entrances and exits of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island alone are equivalent to explosives." More than one hundred grams, one hundred grams of C4 explosives, has exceeded the total stock in the market on Hong Kong Island."
"In addition, the history of explosives trading on the black market in Hong Kong Island is sparse. At most, there are ordinary soil bombs, or engineering explosives such as fish cannons and mountain cannons. This batch of C4 explosives must have been newly crossed the sea! They even crossed the sea specifically for this terrorist attack. Used!"
"Poof!"
Zhuang Shikai punched the front of the car and cursed sternly: "Damn it, the customs is extremely strict on explosives inspection, there is no way a large amount of C4 will flow into the port!"
"In order to mess with us! The ghost guy actually used his power to help the gangsters by transporting a large number of C4 into Hong Kong to commit crimes! It's really morally corrupt!"
Zhuang Shikai cursed without any scruples, and what he scolded was not unfair at all! Because apart from the British help, the second possibility is zero.
The remaining police officers at the scene temporarily silenced and kept their mouths shut.
None of them dared to answer the officer's conversation.
After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Zaishan continued: "The criminal claimed to blow up the Hung Hom Tunnel. According to my estimate, at least more than fifty kilograms of C4 explosives are needed. Fifty kilograms of C4 explosives are enough to destroy a building." Building!”
"The criminal information shows that Hong Jibiao was a blasting expert in an engineering team in the Mainland and was proficient in various blasting methods. He once used three explosion techniques: time bomb, remote control bomb, and horizontal bomb in the gold shop robbery! They should all He can make bombs and is proficient in engineering demolition."
"Here, here, here!" Zhang Zaishan pointed to the three nodes of the tunnel drawing and said: "After all, the Hung Hom Tunnel is built using the caisson method, which is less mature for explosions. With engineering blasting, it only needs to be here Placing explosives at three nodes can directly destroy the entire Hung Hom Tunnel!"
"It depends on whether he has so many explosives." Zhang Zaishan raised his head and said.
Zhuang Shikai took a deep breath, held the walkie-talkie, and said solemnly: "I completely believe that he has it! I even believe that he has already arranged the explosives!"
