Chapter 544: Chapter 246: CQB Sweep (Part 2)

"Ah!" The buzz-cut driver let out a scream, as if his rib had been snapped by the door.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yang reached out and pulled him down to the snow, applying a reverse hold lock, pinning his arm behind his back, and pressing his neck with the left knee, while taking out the handcuffs from his waist.

Fortunately, their training today was for outdoor capture operations.

They carried a full set of special police equipment, with capture tools naturally being essential.

"Reporting to Mr. Xiong, Team 6 Group 1 has completed the mission. The driver was captured on the spot, no one in the car, and two homemade bombs and a long knife were found in the back seat."

"Hand him over to the blockade group and immediately converge towards me!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing the new order, Gu Ji directed Zhou Yang to lead the person to the blockade group of Teams 2 and 3 at the intersection, while he took the others to gather at the village entrance.

The other special police groups also completed their tasks without any major surprises.

During this process, two more knife-wielding fugitives rushed out from the village, both subdued on the spot by Li Yaoguang from the Shenzhou group, and Li Yanan from the Qizhou group. Li Yaoguang’s left arm got slashed, bleeding a bit.

Still, the preparation was inadequate.

A special police operation should first be prepared according to the intelligence provided by the dispatch center.

Once it is known that the fugitives have multiple vehicles, an armored vehicle would definitely be dispatched for impact or metal spikes from the traffic police for interception.

So it wouldn’t end up like earlier, with special police being dragged around in chaos.

Xiong Changyuan, holding a rifle, stepped closer to the burning village.

"Team 4 Group 1 with me, other team groups take autonomous actions, start searching and rescuing along the village entrance, prioritize saving the burning residential area!"

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

"Gao Bo’s Vanguard, Liu Weijun, Position Two, dirt road right side, second house area."

Once Zhou Yang returned to the group, Gu Ji instinctively found his designated sweep area according to the team sequence.

It was also practical combat now.

They had just trained in village CQB raids last month.

Gu Ji surveyed with his gun, quickly glancing at the rough information of self-built mud houses, generally brick-concrete structures, rifle power couldn’t penetrate the walls.

The wall on the left side of the house entrance was 3 meters, the right wall at least 4 meters wide, and there was a window, but unfortunately, it was already smashed, filled with flames and thick smoke inside.

"Gao Bo, be extra cautious of the right-side room when you enter!"

"Understood!"

Gao Bo charged directly into the yard holding a shield, seeing the mud house door slightly ajar, he cautiously approached the door.

Behind him, Gu Ji and others lined up one by one.

When Zhou Yang from the rear pushed his shoulder, Gu Ji also pushed on Liu Weijun into place until the signal reached Gao Bo.

"Bang!" He kicked the door open, immediately holding the shield on the right side.

Liu Weijun, in position two, followed tightly, with the gun muzzle facing the left side of the door.

"The left-side dining room is secure!"

"A wounded individual found in the right-side bedroom!"

"The smoke in the house is too thick, let’s finish quickly, move on, Zhao Hua, check the injured!"

Gu Ji squeezed through between them, immediately smelling the acrid smoke inside, and feeling the heat coming from the right side, he pointed his gun towards the house corridor seemingly leading to the kitchen.

Upon hearing the order, Zhao Hua rushed into the burning master bedroom on the right.

Inside, the television had fallen to the ground, and the bedding, pillows, and cabinets on the kang bed were all burnt.

The homeowner lay on the ground, covered in blood, fate unknown.

Meanwhile, the rest continued to advance.

Gao Bo, still in the lead as the vanguard, proceeded.

The kitchen wasn’t large, nearly clear at a glance, only having a stove and a large pot, with rooms on both sides, indicated by the items at the doorway as the bathroom and guest bedroom.

From the guest bedroom, faint cries could be heard.

"Gao Bo, Liu Weijun, go to the left; Zhou Yang and I to the right; Wu Kang, alert and provide support!"

"Understood!"

The team maintained the formation from the Xiangzhou exchange during this training.

From the last Japan operation, Gu Ji also found Wu Kang to be a very steady special police officer, professionally solid, very suitable as the rear guard.

The four split into pairs at each doorway.

"Three, two, one!"

"Bang!"

The room doors burst open simultaneously.

Gu Ji suddenly saw inside the bedroom, a gravely injured mother, shielding a teenage child in a floral cotton jacket beneath her.

The child’s face was smeared with the blood and tears of his mother.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yang’s eyes turned red with shock.

"Damn! These bastards!"

"Ah—!"

"Don’t move! Police!!"

"Don’t move! I’ll shoot if you do!!"

At the same time, angry curses and roars erupted from the bathroom behind, it seemed Gao Bo and the others had encountered desperados.

"On alert!"

Gu Ji swiftly suppressed his emotions, switched off the safety, shifted the rifle aside, and immediately approached to gently lift the injured mother from the ground, while Zhou Yang, suppressing the bitterness at his nose, unwillingly raised his gun, on alert within the room.

During operations, any unidentified target poses potential danger.

"We are the police, listen, turn your head first."

"Sob sob sob... Officer, will my mom die, sob sob sob..."

"Don’t worry, I will do my utmost to save her! Zhou Yang, the emergency kit!" Gu Ji patted his waist, only to remember he had used up his elastic bandage on the bus to save the herder who had their neck slashed.

"Got it."

Zhou Yang quickly unzipped and took out all the bandages.

Fortunately, while protecting the child, this mother was mostly struck on the back by the desperadoes, although bleeding heavily, it wasn’t a fatal wound; only the wound at the back of her head was somewhat severe.

Gu Ji quickly wrapped the bandage, temporarily staunching the blood.

In a daze, the mother’s lips trembled slightly, she was muttering "Bala", "Bala", unsure if it was the child’s name or some other term.

"Don’t worry, the child is fine! We are the police, you need to relax!"

After speaking, Gu Ji immediately turned around and shouted, "What’s the situation in the kitchen!"

"A desperado is hiding in the bathroom, I’m handcuffing him with Liu Weijun!"

"Wu Kang, come help me carry her!"

Upon hearing Gao Bo’s report, it was clear the house had been temporarily secured by them.

Thus, he let Zhou Yang take the child out, while he and Wu Kang carried the injured outside. Passing the master bedroom door, Zhao Hua was dragging out the herder uncle alone.

Seeing the two, he shook his head in silence.

Clearly, the uncle could no longer be saved.

Gu Ji’s eyelid twitched, but he first carried the injured to the courtyard, pressed the walkie-talkie: "Report to Mr. Xiong, Team Six’s sweep complete, found four people inside, one child, one injured adult female, one adult male corpse, a desperado hiding in the bathroom, subdued."

After reporting.

Gao Bo and Liu Weijun also dragged the desperado out, a tall, skinny young man with a European face, not very old.

"Damn! Do you have any humanity left!"

Zhou Yang, recalling the scene inside the house, immediately rushed forward, grabbing the young man’s collar.

"Zhou Yang!"

"Zhou Yang, focus on the task first!"

Gu Ji patted his shoulder, pulling his hand away from the desperado.

Then together they escorted the desperado and carried the injured out of the courtyard; the containment team had arrived at the village entrance. After handing them over, the group followed Xiong Changyuan to sweep the remaining three houses.

Faced with the threat of guns and bullets.

These desperadoes with sticks stood no chance against the professional SWAT, after all, these were the elites among young SWAT officers.

Four or five desperadoes rushing out of the house were instantly blocked by vanguards with shields, then a baton from the SWAT behind made them drop the long knives in their hands. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Drop your weapons!"

One tall Luzhou SWAT officer shouted at a desperado about to flee.

Upon hearing the warning, the desperado with a pink plaid headscarf immediately stopped and turned around fearfully, dropping the long knife.

"Do not move! Otherwise, we will take strong measures against you!"

After warning, the tall SWAT officer took out handcuffs from his back waist.

But just as he grabbed the female desperado, she suddenly resisted, fiercely biting the SWAT officer’s face and pinning him to the ground: "Huwa!!"

"Ah!!"

The tall SWAT officer screamed.

Seeing the scene turn chaotic, other desperadoes nearby also rebelled, either crashing into SWAT or attempting to grab their guns, while the female desperado pinning the tall officer drew a dagger from her waist.

Just as she was about to stab the SWAT officer’s neck.

"Bang!"

"Splat!"

A gunshot instantly burst open the female desperado’s skull.
