In the middle of winter, cold winds erode the bones. Every day, before dawn, the lights on the Wuhan SPECIAL Police Playground are bright, the healthy female police are ready to go, and the crisp slogans resound across the sky.
Not Afraid to Endure Hardships On the training ground, it is better than hard work
"Sweat more in peacetime, less blood in wartime." At 6:30 a.m., the 5,000-meter sandcoat and leggings with a weight of 40 kilograms were run, and then the fist slammed the predetermined "target" with no less than 100 times per minute, followed by pull-ups, push-ups, cement piles and other strength and hard skills training; in addition, there were fighting, shooting, tactics, climbing and other police skills training. It is reported that this is a day of routine training of the Wuhan Women's Swat Police Brigade, rain or shine.
In the coldest season of the year, are the female SWAT officers still insisting? On the morning of January 19, reporters were invited to their winter training site.
"The first group of ropes, ready..." On the roof of the five-story climbing training building, two young players clutched the ropes, and with a command, they stomped on the wall, lightly and straight down, and several large strides on the wall like flat feet.
"Broken window, start..." The inevitable action of the strong attack action, the two female team members grasped the essentials, while flying down, while controlling the focus point under their feet, slammed a leg "broken" window into the building.
On the playground, groups of team members punched straight, hooked, and swung their fists, attacked quickly, dodged flexibly, and the two sides of the actual combat were inseparable, they kept moving under their feet, and their arms were eager to find the most suitable angle and strength of attack.
New police officers Sun Leiyu and Wang Yifan, who have only been in the team for a few months, have overcome psychological obstacles and basically mastered the essentials of surrender. "I saw on TV that SWAT was very cool, tried to apply for this position, I didn't expect that I would do the same when I joined SWAT." They excitedly told reporters.
"Bang! bang! bang! "Gun inspection, reloading, running, rapid shooting, standing, kneeling, a complete set of actions on the shooting range, requiring good speed and precision, the team members are completely immersed in the deafening sound of gunfire."
National Taekwondo Champion, Judo Runner-up, Martial Arts Runner-up, Public Security Shooting Champion... Walking into this brigade, the glory wall shines brightly, in fact, each one of them has practiced outstanding true skills, but there is a tradition of "not being afraid of suffering" and "not accepting defeat".
"Who says women are inferior to men?" In 1994, Wuhan first set up a special police post, the first batch of 7 female team members side flip, over-the-shoulder fall, head broken bricks, bare-handed splitting board, high-rise rope descent, the item to train with the male team, year-on-year martial arts. Captain Chen Wei is one of the 7 veteran team members. In order to practice her skills, she increased the amount of weight, hanging an extra brick when aiming at the target, and postponing the training time by a few hours. She even integrates training into the details of daily life, and enters the training state all the time. Extraordinary concentration and extraordinary hard work in exchange for rapid progress, in the national public security system shooting competition, she won the championship with a result of 3 rings higher than the men's championship, and was awarded the title of "sharpshooter" by the Ministry of Public Security.
After the official establishment of the brigade, a group of new members joined in. Instructor Ni Chunqiu won the 60 kg championship of the second World Cup Wushu Sanda Competition when he went to college, Deputy Captain Liu Yanan participated in the first Sino-US Police Fighting Competition during his college years and won the championship, and Deputy Captain Yuan Xiujuan trained in the Reconnaissance Post of the Guangdong Marine Corps for many years... Good seedlings do not have any special, but the training requirements are higher, which helps them grow into backbones quickly.
The good tradition of not being afraid of hardship and practicing true skills has been passed down from batch to batch, and the team members have changed stubble after stubble, but the overall combat ability has always remained excellent. Post-90s team member Wu Miao quickly promoted from a blank piece of paper to a new generation of "female gun king", she most memorably joined the team when she first joined the team and practiced three times a night, running to the rain, sweat and tears.
They don't let go of any good opportunity to temper. In December 2018, as the only team in the central region, they went to Jinan, Shandong Province, to participate in the national public security special police stability maintenance department sudden combat reporting exercise. Thousands of miles away, in the ice and snow, they gritted their teeth and fell forward, sideways, and backwards on the frozen land of the hard state, their elbows were broken and bleeding, the wounds had just scabs and cracked, they broke their finger bones, old wounds and old diseases recurred, they did not ask for leave once, they braced themselves for 46 days without falling into the line of fire, and their exquisite skills were affirmed and received by Zhao Kezhi, state councilor and minister of public security.
In the past 15 years, 168 team members have honed here, even if they are transferred to other teams because of their age, they will bring this spirit of not being afraid of hardship to patrol, criminal police, traffic police, public security police and other positions.
Fearless of danger, born into death to show their skills
The Wuhan Women's SWAT Brigade currently has 27 members, with an average age of 26 years old, undertaking special tasks such as counter-terrorism and riot prevention and the disposal of major cases, they are braving thorns and thorns, walking on the tip of the knife and flames, facing the test of life and death.
One night in July 2021, four out-of-town gangsters who attacked police officers, carrying guns and explosives, fled by car to Wuhan. The Hubei Provincial Public Security Department and the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau immediately mobilized the city's elite forces to deploy and control at multiple points. In order to prevent alarming the gangsters, the city bureau urgently ordered: "Female SWAT on!" ”
Captain Chen Wei immediately led the team members Li Li and Duan Peijun to change into casual casual clothes, and together with the commando team members rushed to the intersection of the high-speed toll station to intercept them.
"Quick! fast! One suspect has arrived at the highway intersection! "Interception, control, search, female SWAT and male comrades-in-arms tacit cooperation, successfully stopped the suspect who tried to break through the customs, on-site review to obtain the whereabouts of the guns and the location of the carriers."
"Chase!" Female SWAT drag racing "transition", there are few pedestrians in the early morning, they get out of the car and pace arm in arm, quietly looking for suspicious vehicles. Suddenly, a man wearing a duck-tongue hat and carrying a belt bag on his chest came into view.
"This man is holding a bag, there is a problem, get closer!" The female SWAT pretended to run at night, followed her all the way into the unit building of the community, and the situation was fed back to the command headquarters, just to confirm the investigation intelligence information. Soon, the suspect went downstairs and went out, completely unaware of the "night run" female policeman's tracking. "Draw your gun within 15 meters, his speed and accuracy are definitely not my opponents, don't be afraid!" Chen Wei confidently cheered up the team members.
At the intersection, Chen Wei met with the commandos, chased for 50 meters to throw down and control the gangsters who were trying to take the road and flee, and seized 1 pistol and 9 bullets on the spot.
The operation is just a microcosm of the birth and death of female SWAT officers. Over the years, they have been in danger but have not missed a single one.
In August 2005, the women's SWAT brigade was still in the preparatory stage, and a hostage-taking case called female SWAT officers. Cheng Mou, a suspect in the Guocikou district of Hanyang District, held a 20-centimeter knife and abducted his ex-wife in the house, threatening his ex-wife not to agree to remarry and die together. Relatives persuasion was ineffective, expert negotiations were unsuccessful, and seeing the knife edge resisting the hostage's neck, the veteran team member Zhang Rui stepped forward and said, "I'm on!" Disguised as a civil affairs worker, she skillfully climbed to the second floor to stand on the outdoor air conditioning host, secretly observed the dynamics in the house, and then returned and entered the scene from the gate with a full set of civil affairs forms and seals, saying that she specialized in door-to-door service and remarriage procedures. Cheng carefully filled out the form and kept a distance from Zhang Rui. Zhang Rui said in a hurry: "Your form is filled out incorrectly and needs to be changed!" Looking for an opportunity to enter the room again, taking advantage of the moment when Cheng mou modified the form, he flew up and grabbed the murder weapon, and firmly pressed gong to the ground to rescue the hostages unscathed. In that year, the Ministry of Public Security rated the case as one of the top ten classic cases of the national public security special police.
In early April 2013, a ministry of public security supervision drug case was preparing to close the net encountered difficulties, drug dealers put the den on the top floor of the 8th floor of the first-floor residential building, and installed an elevator on the building at their own expense, controlled and did not allow other personnel to enter the top floor, and also installed cameras and sensors at intersections, elevators, stairwells and other places, it was completely impossible to attack from the ground, and the only feasible plan for air raids had high requirements for the basic skills of the arresting police. The women's SWAT brigade requested to join the war. From the afternoon of April 9, the team members secretly observed the top floor of the adjacent building. At 4:00 a.m. the next day, the sky was just exposed, and with the faint light of the morning light, Ni Chunqiu, who was skilled, and 10 other team members quietly climbed to the illegal construction layer on the top floor of the building where the poison nest was located through the 15-meter fire ladder erected on the roof. The poison detection expert sent a message that the time was ripe, she fell from the sky, broke a door, and was the first to rush into the room to control the drug-related personnel at the scene. A total of 22 drug-related personnel were controlled in the operation, and more than 440 kilograms of liquid high concentration and diluted methamphetamine, smoothbore guns and drug-making equipment, as well as a large number of drug-making raw materials and drug-making equipment were seized at the scene.
According to statistics, since the establishment of the brigade, they have participated in the handling of 35 cases of serious violent crimes such as the taking of hostages, guns, explosives, and criminal syndicates, arrested more than 100 extremely vicious gangsters, and seized a batch of guns and explosives, bows, and controlled knives.
Do not dishonor the mission Special battlefield has responsibilities
"Wherever there is danger, where it is most needed, we will go!" As female SWAT team members, the sense of mission, responsibility, and honor make them continue to interpret with actions - the scarf does not let the eyebrows be shaved.
In January 2020, the new crown pneumonia epidemic broke out in Wuhan, and a general war and obstruction war that could not see the smoke of gunfire were launched, and the battlefield horn urged the emergency.
In the early morning of January 23, the women's swat police brigade received an urgent order to participate in the lockdown in Wuhan. Without talking about any conditions or difficulties, on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, they gave up their mother, wife, daughter, daughter-in-law, and other roles, and after assembling in the team overnight, they rushed to Wuhan, Wuchang, Hankou Railway Station, Tianhe Airport and other key parts of the duty with full armed forces. Faced with an unprecedented threat of the virus, they stood out in the retrograde team. Again and again with careful tips, patient explanations, step by step careful guidance, the crowd gathered in the "three stations and one scene" was finally evacuated, the "front of the car" that was queuing away from Han finally turned around, the mood of the masses was finally relieved, they were exposed to the noise, the cold, and the danger for 8 hours, and no one complained about this tiredness, this suffering, this difficulty, and this danger.
"Can you send me for screening, I'm probably infected with COVID-19." During the patrol, a patient with breathing difficulties asked for help, and Liu Aona, a post-90s team member, bravely stood up: "I escort the old man to ensure the completion of the task and the safety of the old man." The next day, when the news of the old man's diagnosis came from the hospital, the team members felt that the task was arduous but none of them flinched.
In a critical moment, they stepped forward to become a beautiful landscape of the city. At that time, the traffic police fast riding women's team led by the transfer veteran team was sticking to the city gate and road card point. Patrolling the area around Leishenshan Hospital is a group of well-trained young team members. During the construction of Leishenshan Hospital, Liu Aona and other team members after 90 submitted a "letter of request" to the brigade branch for the first time and resolutely demanded to settle in. As a hospital that receives critically ill patients, the heavy security tasks can be imagined.
"The first time I went to Leishen Mountain, I was a little nervous and looking forward to it." Liu Aona told reporters that on the first day of duty, vehicles continued to enter and exit the checkpoint, and she and her teammates had to constantly check and measure body temperature and persuade vehicles without passes to return. In the afternoon, 6 hours on duty, a man paced back and forth at the intersection, looking anxious. Liu Aona took the initiative to inquire, and it turned out that he sent medicine to his hospitalized friend but could not enter the sealed area. Liu Aona and the police bao dan and Wang Shuang changed into protective clothing, handed over the items to the hospital doctor, and wrote down the inpatient information, so that the man could leave with peace of mind. Such "trivia" is encountered every day. All-round patrol control, full road section sealing control, full-time prevention and control, while full service, they wear protective equipment every day to walk 20,000 or 30,000 steps, sweat soaked through the police uniform, the soles of the feet grind out blood bubbles, the face is frozen, during which they have escorted 350 ambulances and transported 142 patients. Sun Chunlan, member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, praised them through a video link, "Tenderly shouldering heavy responsibilities, and danger is obvious."
In August 2021, the Delta strain attacked Wuhan again, a new round of epidemic prevention and control war began, and female special police officers went out again. In the sweltering summer heat, the frontline of community prevention and control in Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone and Jiangxia District, they conscientiously do a good job in tracking key information on epidemic prevention, health monitoring of outsiders, assistance in the transfer of fever personnel, etc., while strictly controlling the pass, sending vegetables, medicines, and daily necessities, solving the difficulties of the masses, doing a good job in serving the "last hundred meters" of the masses, and handing over an unusual "towel answer sheet" for the rapid control of the epidemic.
There is no regret in choosing the people first to send affection
Clad in armor, they are undoubtedly the sonorous roses that bloom in the police barracks; when they take off their armor, they can't help but remember the safety and warmth of some difficult groups, and help them as closely as they can.
It was the Spring Festival again, and The brigade commander Chen Wei led several new team members to send fruits and other materials to the Jianghan District Social Welfare Institute to comfort the hundred-year-old widow and the elderly tong grandmother. On January 18, they also sent a video to the elderly in the welfare home for observation.
15 years ago, when the women's swat police brigade was first established, a public welfare activity organized brought SWAT training and life small programs to the elderly who were elderly and difficult to go out, which made the elderly feel good. The 88-year-old grandmother tong was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut. Since then, every day I hope that this group of girls will come again. Chen Weiwenxun took the initiative to list the Jianghan District Welfare Institute as a special contact point and the elderly as the object of special care. Every holiday, they gather with the elderly and ask for warmth. The "Love Bridge" has been built for 14 years. Also caring for was an elderly Grandpa Deng. More than two years ago, Grandpa Deng passed away, and Chen Wei continued to care for another octogenarian. "The old people do not lack food and clothing, and the most lacking thing is the 'loving daughter's' kind of hosting and companionship." Welfare home staff said.
"The needs of the masses are our direction." In the municipal bureau's "10,000 police officers into the community" activity, the brigade paired up with Zhaidong Village, Yaoji Town, Huangpi, located in the mountainous area, and claimed to help the left-behind children Kiki and Xinxin. The parents of the two children have been working outside the home for many years to earn a living, and the grandmother who takes care of them is nearly eighty years old and suffers from a variety of chronic diseases. The special police "loving mother" consulted, regularly called the children to comfort, visit the condolences, material help, help to complete the micro-wishes, successively sent scholarships, condolences, gifts of school supplies, extracurricular books, taught them to write mood diaries, write home letters to their parents, dispel the emotions of relatives, and be a strong girl. In the cold and summer of the past few years, the two children have made progress in learning, their personalities have become lively and cheerful, and their grandmother's mental state has improved a lot. The Municipal Women's Federation awarded the brigade the title of "Excellent Loving Mother Collective in the City".
In recent years, the women's SWAT brigade has loved the people and the people's "towel feelings."
It has become more and more practical actions: in the work of special police stationing and armed patrols, they take the initiative to participate in joint logistics joint consultations, implement the "1, 3, 5" rapid reaction mechanism, and pay more attention to the difficult masses around the post; relying on the "Chen Wei Pioneer Team", they teach the masses simple and practical women's self-defense skills, and take activities such as "safely entering the campus", "sending the law into the community", "big hands holding small hands" and other activities as the carrier, and send "safety gift packages" such as law classes and rule of law publicity to the hands and hearts of the masses. In recent years, 9 team members have been hired by the school as "special tutors" and "special counselors" of the Co-construction and Communist Union.
"No matter how hard and tired, fearless and fearless, chasing dreams, always turning a thousand times."
Female SWAT officers are mostly homes of dual police officers. In recent years, major security tasks such as the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, military security, fighting the epidemic, and celebrating the centenary of the founding of the party have been arduous, and female SWAT team members are often husband and wife on the same battlefield. In the battle to intercept the gangsters carrying guns and explosives in July 2021, Li Li and her husband Li Chao, who is also a commando, were divided into the same group, in the face of real dangers, they made eye contact and encouraged each other; on February 26, at the Lantern Festival, the captain of the brigade, Chen Weiqiao, occasionally came to the duty with Zhai Xiaodong, director of the Zongguan Police Station of the Qiaokou District Bureau, and the dense flow of people and the tense task, Zhai Xiaodong saluted the wife of the special police, chen Wei quietly raised his finger to make a heart-to-heart response, sending holiday blessings to the other party.
Receiving the task of duty in a different place in the middle of the night, unable to return home for several days or even months; unable to accompany the parents on the sickbed, absent from kindergartens and school parent-child activities, young SWAT girls and mothers looking back on the police years, it is inevitable that there will be heartache, regret and guilt, but to protect the safety of millions of citizens, they have never doubted their choice. Day after day, year after year, "calmly facing the wind and rain rainbow", they have no complaints and no regrets to become the sonorous roses that bloom in this heroic city.
