"Everyone, you must keep your eyes wide open. If you see the suspect or anyone who looks suspicious, the first thing you should do is use the communication device in your hand to notify your superiors and teammates. Don't be a hero, and don't try to handle it alone. Remember, the people we are dealing with this time are extremely dangerous drug dealers. You must be careful, careful, and even more careful. They have three handguns and two Type 56 assault rifles, which are very powerful. And you must remember, they know very well what will happen to them if they are caught, so they will fight to the bitter end. When they are finally taken down, remember not to approach them easily, no matter whether they are dead or not. These drug dealers usually carry suicide bombs."

In the back of the Iveco police van, a middle-aged narcotics officer with a stern expression was solemnly briefing a group of young trainees.

To be honest, if it weren't for today's heavy casualties among the narcotics team, they would never have called on these student soldiers for help.

Thinking about the gun battle at the southern city expressway entrance in the afternoon and the comrades who died with their eyes open, Wei Zhonghang felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Old Ma, Xiao Huan, Qiangzi, Wei Guo, Dapang... They all had a meal together yesterday and talked about going swimming and fishing at Xianhe Lake on the weekend. But who would have thought that in just one afternoon, they would be separated by life and death.

Thinking of his fallen comrades, Wei Zhonghang couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. He turned away and wiped away his tears. Now was not the time for grief.

"Brothers, rest assured, Old Wei will soon send those bastards to you. You can take your revenge on them there."

Seeing Officer Wei turn away, though he was trying to suppress his emotions, his shoulders were shaking. The police academy trainees in the van felt an extra weight on their shoulders.

The final exam had just ended, and before the leaders could even give their speeches, such a major criminal case occurred, which was rare in recent years.

Although the casualties among the front-line narcotics police were not officially announced, many of the trainees' parents were in the public security system, and they quickly got the news from their parents or relatives.

Six dead and five severely injured. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the public security system of Huanghai City had never experienced such a severe case of police casualties.

But considering the special nature of this case and the madness of the drug dealers, it was understandable that such casualties would occur.

It was said that the narcotics team was caught off guard by the drug dealers. Just as they were about to encircle them, the drug dealers suddenly discovered a flaw in the police's plan and started shooting.

The police were even more surprised to find that the drug dealers had brought two fully automatic weapons. Although the Type 56 automatic rifle's reputation wasn't great, it was more than enough to deal with the 79 submachine guns and handguns the narcotics police were carrying.

Such a high number of casualties completely enraged the police of Huanghai City. Almost all 50,000 police officers in the city were dispatched to the streets.

In the city's various police stations, except for the dispatchers and some necessary computer maintenance personnel, almost everyone was sent to the streets. Administrative staff and logistics personnel were assigned to patrol the streets. Internet cafes, hotels, hostels, and rental apartments were all key targets for investigation.

Traffic police, criminal investigators, and community police officers were stationed at major traffic intersections, with a checkpoint every mile.

The anti-terror squad was fully armed and on standby in patrol cars, ready to rush to the scene as soon as the drug dealers were spotted.

However, with such a long front line, the personnel were stretched thin, so Li Xiangdong and his fellow police academy graduates were called into action.

More than a thousand police academy graduates were divided into several small teams, led by experienced narcotics officers and criminal investigators. They would be stationed at the major exit points of Huanghai City to conduct spot checks.

Li Xiangdong's team was led by the narcotics officer, Old Wei.

Old Wei was silently shedding tears at the front, and the police academy trainees sitting behind him didn't know what to say. The atmosphere in the van was very heavy.

Li Xiangdong looked up and saw An Jiaoning and Hu Ying, two girls, sitting opposite him. Next to him were Yang Feng and another male trainee.

Everyone was fully equipped with bulletproof helmets, bulletproof vests, and pistols on their belts.

The girls were holding newly issued police revolvers from the armory, while the boys were holding old 54 pistols.

No one was in the mood to speak. Normally, with beautiful girls like An Jiaoning and Hu Ying present, Yang Feng would have stood up to liven up the atmosphere and show his presence. But after hearing Officer Wei's description of the drug dealers, even this show-off was silent. Although he was trying to hide it, Li Xiangdong could see the tension in his eyes.

The other trainee was also trembling, even his legs were shaking.

An Jiaoning and Hu Ying, sitting opposite, were expressionless, their beautiful faces taut. Only from their eyes could one see their emotions.

An Jiaoning's eyes were calm. At this moment, she even had the mood to glance at Li Xiangdong. When she saw him looking at her, she defiantly held his gaze for a few seconds.

Hu Ying, sitting next to her, was even more remarkable. Her eyes showed a hint of excitement.

What kind of brains do these two girls have? Really... Looking at Yang Feng, who was tightly pursing his lips, Li Xiangdong laughed inwardly.

Even worse than two girls!

The sound of the brakes, and Officer Wei was the first to open the van door and jump out. Li Xiangdong and the others followed.

This was the 301 National Highway exit from Huanghai City, with a significant amount of traffic. A checkpoint had already been set up, and five police officers were checking each passing vehicle.

Officer Wei led Li Xiangdong and the others over, exchanged a few words with the police officers, and then returned with a few fluorescent sticks. They would form a team, with him leading the checks on passing vehicles.
