The first month of intensive training quickly passed.

Gu Ji and his team also entered the second phase of physical training: specialized physical endurance.

In addition to the fixed 3-kilometer morning warm-up run, push-ups, sit-ups, frog jumps, and the evening armed weighted cross-country run, Qiu Junrong also added 800-meter obstacle courses, climbing and rappelling, and armed swimming training.

Among them, he was most interested in climbing and rappelling.

Although Gu Ji had trained in such subjects in university, due to his current low mission level, he rarely had the opportunity to apply these skills, so he had become somewhat rusty.

Since receiving NMIOTC maritime operations close combat training.

He now possessed amphibious combat capabilities, except for lacking aerial combat experience.

It’s important to note that with the comprehensive national strength of the Xia Kingdom improving.

Whether it’s the public security special police or the Armed Police Force, their weaponry and equipment have been significantly enhanced, and most city-level SWAT units or municipal police bureaus have procured helicopters.

In major violent and terrorist criminal cases, helicopters can greatly enhance the combat power of armed police special forces and public security SWAT teams in areas such as aerial delivery, airborne reconnaissance, and air-ground strikes, and allow them to adapt to more diverse mobility tasks.

Just like the helicopter deployment for mountain search in the mass incident on October 16th.

However, the use of helicopters by SWAT is not as varied as in the military; parachute training is almost rare, with the only training base being in Eastern Guangdong, namely the renowned Armed Police Snow Leopard Assault Team.

Because there are only two situations that require parachute operations during combat:

1. Large-scale paratrooper deployment behind enemy lines, to open a second front and attack from both inside and out;

2. Covert infiltration and special operations. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Obviously, the realistic conditions dictate that neither public security SWAT nor armed police SWAT would undertake the first task, as that’s a job for the airborne troops of the air force.

As for the second situation, armed police special forces do deal with it, but in such cases, rappelling from helicopters is entirely sufficient.

After all, the special operations missions that the armed police need to execute involve enemies that are not military, but violent and terrorist criminals, so the scale of combat won’t be large, the geographic distance won’t be particularly far, and the adversaries lack long-range heavy weaponry.

Therefore, direct rappelling or low-altitude airdrop, ensures the most stability, accuracy, and intensity!

These are the two aerial combat skills that Gu Ji currently most wants to master.

It’s also what makes him envious of the Xiangzhou SDU Flying Tiger Team’s SWAT officers.

The technical term for fast roping is "Fast Rope Insertion and Extraction System," originating from descent protection techniques in Gao Mountain exploration, later developed by special forces like Delta, SAS, etc., it remained a secretive method of infiltration for a long time.

Learning it means having an extra path to success in assault.

For instance, attacking from a rooftop or through windows.

"Luckily, I’m not afraid of heights." Gao Bo looked at the building used for training in climbing and rappelling in front of him, which had climbing walls, steel climbing ladders, and rappelling ropes all set in rows on the exterior façade of the building.

Looking up, everyone could see a blue and white SWAT helicopter perched on the rooftop helipad.

After a few days, with Xiong Changyuan personally teaching and demonstrating over and over again.

The three routes were alternated for team training.

Soon it was Gu Ji, Gao Bo, and Liu Weijun’s turn; the three of them went to the rooftop, and under the watchful eyes of Qiu Junrong and Xiong Changyuan, they first tied a fast rope knot, then attached the carabiners and safety ropes to the rappelling rope.

Gao Bo glanced down at the ground.

The SWAT trainees looked like little matchstick figures standing on the ground watching them, making them a bit nervous, as they were rappelling fully armed with guns, experiencing mid-air suspension and inverted reconnaissance, before finally swinging in through the second-floor window.

"Ready! Go!"

"Whoosh!"

Gu Ji took a deep breath, tightened his gun sling, grabbed the rope with both hands, and leaped off the rooftop backwards.

The intense feeling of weightlessness, the ache in his bladder, and the dynamic blur of the building wall combined to instinctively cause panic in his mind, but fortunately, he had recently survived several air disaster scenarios, where the sense of weightlessness from plummeting planes was far more intense.

The only thing he needed to overcome was the visual stimulation.

Watching window after window swiftly pass by, at the moment he reached the level between the third and second floors.

Gu Ji hurriedly pulled the rappelling lock, his body suddenly jerking to a halt and starting to sway side to side, after all, the equipment on their bodies weighed at least close to 20 pounds, making it difficult to control.

Until the soles of his tactical boots made a sound of "tha" as they landed on the building surface, stabilizing him.

Then, with one foot on the wall, leveraging his core strength, he twisted his waist, his entire body flipping over, back facing up, face facing down, left hand gripping the rope, gradually letting the rope out, right hand holding the 95B-1 rifle in front of his chest, allowing his head to gradually approach the window below.

As blood pooled in his face, turning it red, the moment he saw the positions of the target mannequins and hostage mannequins inside, he pushed hard with both feet, his entire body swinging down from mid-air like a giant pendulum, instantly rushing through the window into the room.

"Bang bang! Bang bang!"

Mid-air, two double taps.

After landing, Gu Ji took deep breaths, getting up to examine the results of his attack.

He hit with three shots, one missed.

This is the advantage of a small-caliber short assault rifle, even when single-handed, it’s still easy to control, if it were a larger-caliber long rifle like the Type 56, who knows where the shots would have gone.
