Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 682 Split into two groups and launch a surprise attack!
A loud bang suddenly came from inside the house as the iron gate was smashed open. It was clear that the Z-drug, which had been placed behind the door beforehand, was detonated passively by the impact of the group.

The shockwave from the explosion was blocked by the blast shield at the front, and Chen Shu and Xu Mingliang were instantly swept up and sent flying backward uncontrollably.

Fortunately, the two were cushioned by the bodies of the assault team standing behind them. Although several people fell to the ground, they were unharmed except for being covered in dust and debris.

Chen Shu jumped up, his hair disheveled and his face covered in dust, looking utterly wretched. However, his eyes were firm and his back was straight, as if nothing could defeat him.

To be honest, having experienced the battlefield in South Korea and witnessed the border soldiers' selfless and courageous defense, Chen Shu had long since developed a strong spirit and will as tough as steel.

It's just a homemade Z-drug, nothing serious.

Chen Shu glanced at Xu Mingliang, who was still lying on the ground coughing, thought for a moment, bent down and tried to take the riot shield from the other's hand, preparing to be the vanguard and charge towards the goal again.

Unexpectedly, the riot shield stubbornly refused to budge despite being pulled several times.

"They put the Z drug behind the door, just waiting for us to walk right into it. Looks like there's someone knowledgeable inside." Xu Mingliang, covered in dust and dirt, slowly stood up, staring at the blasted-open door with an unexpectedly bright look in his eyes, like someone who had met their match with great anticipation.

Chen Shu helped brush the dust off Xu Mingliang's shoulders, then ordered the assault team to throw in all the tear gas, flashbangs, stun grenades, and other explosives they had on hand, whether they could be thrown or not.

Boom!
Boom!Boom!
Boom!Boom!Boom!
A blinding flash of light instantly filled the room, followed by bursts of thick, pungent smoke that quickly billowed out from the doorway.

Just as Chen Shu was putting on his gas mask and preparing to seize the opportunity to lead his men back into the building, a series of heavy thuds came from inside.

"Wait!" Xu Mingliang's ears twitched, and his expression changed. He grabbed Chen Shu's forearm tightly, preventing him from going any further into the house.

The next second, there was a loud bang.

It's Z drug again!
At this moment, Chen Shu hesitated, unsure of how much stock they had inside. Furthermore, he lacked experience in indoor combat and had never practiced an upward assault under such circumstances.

Originally, it was supposed to be Zhang Zhongzhen, the captain of the assault squadron, who led the team to sweep the area, but now they're just sitting in some corner, not a soul in sight.

The method used by Chen Shu is actually somewhat similar to the tactic of throwing grenades into caves in NJ back then.

However, that cave is a dead end; people inside can't get out, but throwing grenades in is no problem.

But this is a residential building, three stories high, and the interior layout is intricate.

No one expected that things would eventually turn into a tough battle.

The commotion was already quite loud. Even in the middle of the night, the windows of several nearby residential buildings lit up one after another, and even in the outer areas, there were crowds of onlookers.

It's worth mentioning that the martial spirit of the Chinese people is exceptionally high.

In other parts of the world, if a gunfight suddenly breaks out, the first reaction of people present is to hide first, and their own safety is always the top priority.

The Chinese are different. They might be stunned for a moment after the first shot is fired, but they will most likely have to crane their necks to see what's going on, otherwise they will feel upset for a long time.

"Chen Da! We can't do this!"

Zhu Yiba, with his rich combat experience, pointed to the roof of the target building and said urgently, "If we throw grenades in now, it won't kill anyone, and it will block our passage, wasting precious time and only pushing us to the roof. This will lead to very bad results!" Chen Shu looked up at the roof, and after a few seconds, realizing the problem, he suddenly felt the hairs on the back of his head stand on end, as if countless tiny needles were frantically piercing into his pores.

Under the direct beam of his tactical flashlight, he could clearly see that the roof of the target building was very close to the two other residential buildings on the left and right, and an adult could easily jump over it.

Chen Shu immediately understood Zhu Yiba's meaning: if the police used drugs to force someone carrying weapons to the rooftop, the final result would be to break into the neighboring residential building by climbing over the low wall.

Immediately understanding, Chen Shu said, "I'll lead my men to storm the building right away!"

Zhu Yiba pointed to both sides and added, "We also need to immediately arrange for personnel to enter these two buildings next door and set up guns on the rooftops!"

It's too late!

Gunshots and poison were heard in the middle of the night. Would the frightened crowd dare to open their doors carelessly?

How much more persuasion and time will the police have to spend to convince them?

On the battlefield, time is something that even gold cannot buy!

The thought only flashed through Chen Shu's mind for a moment before he gritted his teeth and said, "There's not enough time. The only way is to climb directly to the roof from the exterior of the small building using the water pipes!"

Xu Mingliang, who was standing to the side, immediately understood as well.

Without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed Chen Shu's hand, which was holding the tactical flashlight, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Chen, I'm fat and can't climb tall buildings. I'll lead the men and rush into the building right now!"

Chen Shu hesitated for a moment, following his usual habit of not wanting to entrust the most dangerous part to others: "The situation inside is complicated. They're throwing gunpowder down from upstairs. We don't even have a place to hide. It's too dangerous. Let me do it."

Xu Mingliang stepped forward, his tone resolute: "I know about Z-drugs, they can't hurt me!"

Chen Shu shook his head and said solemnly, "It's not your turn to charge. I'm your captain and the on-site commander. I have to be the one to lead this team!"

Xu Mingliang chuckled: "Brother Chen, I'm not bragging. You might not be able to command those arrogant brats. I'm a veteran of the SWAT team; they wouldn't dare disobey me!"

The current leader of the assault team, Zhang Zhongzhen, has already abandoned the operation. As an assault team without a leader, and facing such a loud explosion site, a shutdown is the most likely outcome.

Although Chen Shu was in charge of the on-site command, firstly, he was only a deputy section chief, and the reason he could issue orders from the command center was because he had a strong supporter, the executive deputy director, sitting next to him; secondly, the reason was simple, Chen Shu came from the Zhengming Brigade, which was actually a subordinate unit of the Special Police Detachment, so it was hard to believe that he was now commanding the detachment's direct assault team.

How could these young assault team members, who were arguably the most elite in the detachment, possibly submit to Chen Shu? Xu Mingliang, as the top bomb disposal expert in Dongzhou City who had worked in the special police detachment for more than ten years, could completely shut up these arrogant young people with his seniority and past achievements.

Before Chen Shu could react, Xu Mingliang shouted, "Guys, follow me!" and charged in. Yang Chang gave a shout to bolster his courage and followed. The other seven or eight assault team members followed without hesitation, just as Xu Mingliang had instructed.

Zhu Yiba also swiftly leaped past Chen Shu, taking three or four steps to leap onto a rusty water pipe, climbing up as quickly as a monkey.

Without thinking twice, Chen Shu rushed forward, grabbed the water pipe, pressed his body tightly against the wall, and used his hands and feet to grab and hold onto leverage points as quickly as possible, pushing his body upwards and climbing step by step.

Split into two groups and launch a surprise attack!
