The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

With an order.

The street lights along the road quickly went out.

The main road, along with all the power supply to the Suzhou Hutong area north of the train station, was silently cut off at this moment.

Fortunately, it happened during the early morning hours, so there was no impact on ordinary residential users. Most people were still asleep and normally would not notice it.

The same applies to telephone lines. It is also necessary to be careful to prevent the other party from answering the call privately and contacting other contact stations and points, and to cut off communication facilities.

Of course, the final radio interference made the radio station useless. Not only did the Red Star Factory supply special equipment to the Investigation Department, but other units also developed corresponding technical products and used them in actual combat in advance.

This is the advantage of occupying the home field. After several strong blows, the impact of the arrest work will be controlled in a very small area, avoiding a chain reaction.

It can be said that at this point the division and encirclement has been completed, and the opponent has lost all means and cannot escape.

Amid the rustling sounds, Jin Kailai, who was in the most dangerous position, went upstairs with unusually light footsteps, tapping his toes lightly until he stepped on the stairs, and then his soles of his feet touched the ground.

Xu Le, who followed behind him, held the Remington M870 tightly in both hands, with the muzzle of the shotgun pointed directly at the corner of the stairs. Even in the dark environment, his eyes were shining.

The advantage of a shotgun is that it does not require precise aiming. As long as it is roughly aimed, the pellets fired can cover the entire area in front of the muzzle. It is very suitable for close-range offensive and defensive battles in corridors and houses.

He was in the number two position and was responsible for commanding the personnel. In addition, he was also responsible for protecting the number one goal scorer, Jin Kailai. At this time, he had to hold the hammer to avoid knocking the gun and making a noise.

In an emergency, Jin Kailai would have to throw away the battering ram and take out his gun. He would have to shoot in advance to gain some lead time to buy time for Jin Kailai.

The young soldier in position three held the gun in one hand with the muzzle pointed at the stairs above his head, and with the other hand tightly gripping the grenade hanging in front of his chest, the veins on the back of his hand were popping out.

When it came to actual combat, he looked a little nervous, but there was no light, otherwise, you could see that No. 3's face was a little pale, and hidden under the forehead of his helmet, a trace of sweat had seeped out in a short period of time.

On the contrary, the situation at position four is much better. He is half-squatting with his upper body leaning to the right, observing the upstairs through the gap in the stair handrail. His position is responsible for observing the upstairs and downstairs in advance. At least, if the action is blocked, he must ensure the minimum retreat.

The communicator following behind was also a brave man. At this time, the volume of his headphones had been adjusted to the lowest level, but the weight of the communication equipment behind him still made his breathing a little heavy. Even so, he had to try his best to control the sound of his footsteps.

"Second floor, safe~!"

Tiptoeing up to the second floor, Jin Kailai stealthily poked his head out from the corner and glanced at the corridor. Then he turned back and nodded at Xu Le, communicating silently.

"Keep going, up~!"

Xu Le received Jin Kailai's signal, looked back at the last communicator, and seeing that there was no notification from him, he touched Jin Kailai's shoulder with the barrel of his gun, then raised the muzzle of the gun, indicating that he could continue to move forward.

The whole scene was silent, and the action team maintained a tacit understanding that was simple yet easy to understand. You could see a bit of the flavor of later CQB, also known as indoor close combat.

In this area, the Investigation Department can be said to be completely at the forefront of the trend.

In the mid-1960s, when armed police and even special police had not yet appeared, they had already accumulated a set of indoor attack and defense experience after years of summary.

And, it works.

Compared to the fierce gangsters and laundry detergent dealers that the special police and armed police have to deal with, the investigation department has been waging an invisible struggle with spies in dark places that are difficult for ordinary people to access for decades.

They are cunning, insidious, and treacherous. Compared with gangsters, they are more organized and experienced. Once arrested, they know what they will face. This is the operational experience accumulated at the cost of many lives.

The 2C action team, which had already reached a tacit understanding, successfully reached the corner of the second floor. Here, Jin Kailai's steps became slower and lighter. In just two minutes, it was even more strenuous than running an armed five-kilometer race.

"Hey~!"

It was not the sound from the walkie-talkie, but the sound of the rib-shaped antenna behind the communicator scraping against the wall. Even this tiny sound made the people in front break out in cold sweats.

The communicator with headphones on hadn't noticed it until his footsteps stopped at the corner leading to the third floor. Xu Le turned around and pointed his finger above the communicator's head.

After receiving the reminder, the communicator immediately understood it, nodded, and slowly squatted down. It turned out that there was an unexpected beam on the stairs.

This is a completely random and uncontrollable situation in action. After all, the floor plan is just a plane, not a CAD three-dimensional diagram.

After waiting for more than 20 seconds, seeing no response from the upstairs, and no warning from the two sniper teams on the walkie-talkie, Xu Le continued to knock on Jin Kailai's shoulder, signaling him to continue going up. Jin Kailai nodded, staring at the corridor on the third floor in front of him, and just as he was about to lift his foot, a sound came from the next room.

“Sizzle~!”

It sounded like the sound of someone putting on shoes. In an instant, the already tense nerves of several people became even more tense. On the contrary, Jin Kailai continued to put his raised feet down without any hesitation. Like an nimble civet cat, he jumped into the corridor in a few steps.

This action was somewhat sudden and a bit presumptuous, but Xu Le guessed what Jin Kailai was thinking and quickly followed suit, and the rest of the people behind him took their positions one by one.

However, this time, instead of rushing from the third floor to the fourth floor, Xu Le also stopped in the corridor and pointed at number three behind him, indicating him to go to the door of the room.

"Ziz, attention 301~!"

The sniper position in front of No. 2 seemed to have discovered the movement downstairs in advance, and the communication sound quickly reached the C team, but they had already made all preparations at this time.

The door of room 301 opened, and the person inside shook his coat and muttered to himself.

"Why is there still a power outage?"

When he stood outside the door, he was stunned. In the moonlight, he could see two strong men in the corridor pointing their guns at him.

The whole person was stunned for a moment, and might have thought he was dreaming, but there were actually three guns. On the top floor a hundred meters away, there was an SKS equipped with a POS-1 optical sight, and the crosshairs were fixed on the man's chest.

The next second, before the man could react, a pair of large hands covered his mouth and nose. Xu Le looked indifferent, raised his finger, and put it to his lips to signal the man to be quiet.

Then, he took out the ID from the pocket of his Zhongshan suit and waved it in front of the man's eyes. The shiny national emblem made the man nod subconsciously. The urine stains on the ground stopped abruptly. Knowing that he had not met a bad person, his bladder regained its courage.

The handling of the unexpected situation made everyone present break out in a cold sweat. The man who came out to urinate had his mouth and nose unsealed, and he looked a little frightened and nervous.

No wonder, he went out to pee in the early morning, and found several strong men with guns squatting at the door. Without saying a word, he was pointed at his head with a gun, but he didn't scream in panic, which showed that he was very sensible.

"I'm sorry for carrying out the mission~!"

Unable to tell whether the man was on guard or urinating, Xu Le handcuffed the man's hands without any hesitation, and then chopped the man's neck in the carotid sinus area with a quick knife. The man fainted without saying a word, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

Fortunately, there was a strong man named Jin Kailai behind him. He dragged the man, put him in the corridor, and closed the open door lightly.

"Number three stay~!"

In the moonlight, Xu Le seemed to see that No. 3's cheek was a little pale. After all, not everyone is born to do this job. Once the threshold of physical tension exceeds the limit, it is better to stay and guard it so that it may not affect subsequent actions.

After resolving the emergency, the action team headed up again.

This time, the fourth floor was just around the corner, and everyone knew what they were going to face next. Because of the noise just now, they didn't know if the people upstairs had been woken up. This time, the speed of going upstairs was invisibly accelerated.

All the actions went smoothly until we reached the corridor on the fourth floor. There were no unusual sounds coming from rooms 401 and 402, and we could even hear snoring from inside the rooms.

Except for the third floor, the situation went unusually smoothly, as if there was no secret sentry on duty at this site, or perhaps the sentry on duty was lazy and sleeping?
Xu Le subconsciously had a hint of doubt in his heart. According to his previous experience, this was too simple. It was so simple that these people had no sense of defense at all.

Such a big fuss, could it really be used to kill mosquitoes?
The last house, 403, was right in front of him. Jin Kailai, who had already raised the battering ram and was holding his breath, lowered his head and prepared to rush forward like a rhinoceros emerging from the jungle.

"Cluck, cluck, flutter, flutter~!"

There were no tripwires in the corridor, and there were no broken glass, egg shells or other inconspicuous warning devices on the ground.

But TM, on the stove in the window, a chicken seemed to have sensed the arrival of the uninvited guest. Through the glass, it was flapping its wings happily and making screaming sounds.

Wow, instead of using physical prevention measures, they adopted biological prevention measures. This was something no one expected.

"Squat down~!"

Xu Le caught Jin Kailai who was about to break the door. The next second, there was a flash of light in the window, followed by shattering glass, and a deafening gunshot. (End of this chapter)
