Chapter 75: Chapter 71: The Real Field Assessment

Gu Ji and a few others had just finished their meal and were lying on their bunk beds in the temporary dormitory, chatting.

Suddenly they heard the assembly call through the loudspeaker, startling them into sitting up abruptly.

A roommate was slightly bewildered:

“An unexpected assembly, what’s going on?”

“What else could it be? The practical training assessment is starting!”

Gao Bo answered while jumping off the bed.

Gu Ji had already gotten off the bed and picked up the newly issued 99-style special police summer black tactical uniform and black combat boots from the police equipment area.

Not to mention.

Although it’s not a formal police uniform, once the tactical belt is tightened, the neat and upright feeling immediately stands out, especially with the round special police badge on Gu Ji’s left chest and the red five-star national flag on his right upper arm, coupled with his aggressive look, it definitely exudes an oppressive aura!

“All personnel assemble! Quick!”

They arrived at the base lobby, outside the door flashed a series of red and blue lights, and black-and-white police vehicles lined up in the base yard. Next to the lobby were two rows of makeshift long tables laid out with various anti-riot police gear. Nearby, many senior officers in regular police uniforms and tactical outfits as well as city bureau leaders and news reporters were standing around.

It seems the city bureau is planning a big operation!

Everyone was stunned by the scene before them, with some feeling nervous, while others were excited and thrilled; Gu Ji noticed that among those police officers was Zhang Wenjun. At that moment, he was talking to a twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old special police officer with a square face, occasionally glancing over at him.

A moment later, the city bureau leader began to speak.

First, they encouraged the newly trained officers who had been in training for a month, and then they revealed today’s operation theme: the Hundred-Day Summer Public Security Campaign!

Gu Ji exchanged a look with Gao Bo, no wonder it was such a big scene.

It turns out it’s a joint collective action involving all city criminal police, traffic police, special police, and others.

Due to multiple reports from the public, the city bureau decided to conduct a sweep of all downtown entertainment venues and apartment buildings, with a focus on cracking down on “gambling, drugs, and prostitution.” Each district’s sub-bureau would dispatch corresponding police forces, while the 24th batch of new officers would be inserted into each team, participating in and assisting with the operation, effectively serving as their first practical task assessment since completing police training!

“Now go collect your equipment and report to your assigned team leader!”

Once the leader gave the command, the officers immediately lined up in an orderly fashion to collect their equipment.

Since Gu Ji and the others currently did not have firearm licenses, they couldn’t carry guns, and because this operation was mainly supportive rather than on the front lines, the equipment they received was actually handcuffs, tactical flashlights, headsets, and recorders, with the only weapon being the baton.

The NEX mechanical service baton heavy-duty version, equipped with a rotating quick-draw baton holster.

The difference between the heavy-duty and light-duty versions lies in the material; it is made entirely of alloy steel, more robust, with a matte black finish, a TPE anti-slip rubber grip, and a high-hardness window-breaking spike at the tail, fully extended to about half a meter, roughly the length of a normal person’s arm, and weighs about 390 grams.

He attached the baton to his tactical belt, practicing drawing and inserting it a few times. For a professionally trained police officer, this weight didn’t feel heavy in his hand, and the force while swinging it was quite comfortable.

With everything ready, Gu Ji and Gao Bo went to find their superior, Zhang Wenjun, to report.

Wearing a special police tactical uniform, Zhang Wenjun appeared more vigorous than usual compared to his teaching days in a regular police uniform. He scanned the few new recruits standing in front of him, saying:

“Our Ningjiang Special Patrol Police Squad’s task is simple; mainly to assist Ningjiang Public Security in inspecting key entertainment venues and apartments on Lu Mountain Street. Specific routes and areas will be issued by the patrol team leader. Below, I will announce the first group’s names: the leader is me, deputy leader Zhao Bin, members Gu Ji, Gao Bo, Li…”

Zhang Wenjun divided the new officers into three groups, each group consisting of six people, led by two armed special officers to ensure safety.

Five minutes later, each police squad was neatly organized, standing in line.

In the crowd, Wu Kang deliberately exchanged glances with Gu Ji and Gao Bo, a hint of pride on his face as a member of the special police assault team, knowing that his mission would be more significant and have more opportunities for achievement.

But Gu Ji and Gao Bo were already used to his flamboyant spirit.

“Action!”

The city bureau leader ordered, and everyone instantly ran toward their group’s vehicle.

Gu Ji and Gao Bo arrived next to a black business vehicle over five meters long. It was a modified Ford Transit special police assault vehicle, with blast bars installed at the front and rear, “Special Police” markings sprayed on the sides, privacy glass throughout, and an electronic screen with promotional slogans at the rear.

Entering the car, the interior changes were even more evident.

The front center console featured a new electronic equipment screen directly connecting to the police command room; the back had a separate office desk for data search, command, and task assignment; the third row resembled an armored car with six opposing folding seats.

The trunk was filled with various common tools, such as warning cones, anti-riot shields, first aid kits, etc.

After getting in, Zhang Wenjun sat at the office desk, opened the computer screen which displayed the route map for this operation, with key inspection spots marked with red dots.

Thanks to Gu Ji often memorizing maps, he memorized everything after just one look.

While Zhang Wenjun was assigning tasks, the first police car began slowly moving.

In an instant, the entire yard’s forty to fifty police cars and motorcycles followed, forming a red and blue dual-colored dragon in the dim country road, like an ancient army setting out.

Inside the vehicle, the police officers couldn’t help but be infected by the atmosphere, faces flushed, eager to “charge into battle” immediately.

It was Friday, just past dinner time, and there wasn’t much traffic on the road.

The city bureau had chosen this time to act for a reason.

This was exactly when the entertainment venues were at their liveliest.

Around eight o’clock, Gu Ji and the others finally arrived at their assigned task area following a white SUV police car.

As the vehicle slowly parked by the roadside, Zhang Wenjun did not rush out of the car but rather observed the surrounding environment through the window first.

“Zhao Bin, you take your team to Sea Dove KTV; I’ll lead mine to Jinfeng Apartments. Report any situation at any time!”

“Got it!”

The square-faced special police officer in the front passenger seat responded.

The car door opened, and the four of Gu Ji split into two teams, following Zhang Wenjun and Zhao Bin respectively.

Maybe because special police officers are rarely seen, passersby walking their dogs or strolling couldn’t help but glance twice as they walked along the sidewalk, whispering a few words behind their backs.

Gao Bo looked up at the two thirty-story white buildings in front of them, with a strange expression on his face, clicking his tongue repeatedly:

“I didn’t expect that our first mission would bring us to the famous Jinfeng Apartments. Looks like there’s a good show tonight…”
