In March last year
The Xishuangbanna Border Management Detachment received a clue
Drug dealers bring large quantities of drugs into the country
After the start of the operation
Officer T and his teammates drove the suspect vehicle to a stop
After rushing out of the car, they engage in hand-to-hand combat with drug dealers
In the course of the fight
The drug dealer kept desperately reaching for his chest
It was only discovered after subduing it
The drug dealer had a loaded pistol on his chest
The pistol seized by Officer T and his teammates during that operation
Officer T is 27 years old
He is a special operator
At the age of 18, he joined the public security border guards
He was awarded a second-class merit and a third-class merit
He's on the team
Special combat team of Yunnan Xishuangbanna Border Management Detachment
This team
In the southwest of the motherland in the mountains and dense forests
The average age is only 27 years old
They live incognito, born and die
Special operations teams patrol the border area
Since the formation of the special combat team in 2020
The group of young people was involved in the seizure of a total of 1.8 tons of drugs
More than 600 smugglers and transporters were arrested
40 guns of various types were confiscated
Eighty-five cases of smuggling were detected
198 drug addicts were arrested
……
Among them, three of them have been awarded individual second-class meritorious service
6 people were awarded personal third-class meritorious service
When arresting drug dealers
They "rushed forward as if they were not dying"
When talking about family
But he was full of guilt, bowed his head and was speechless
……
25-year-old Officer Z
He is the youngest member of the special operations team
During a seizure operation on the border mountain
Drug dealers familiar with the terrain fled down the hillside
Officer Z is desperate to pounce on the drug dealers
He also slid down the hill
The teammates then arrived and pinned down the drug dealer
Officer Z then felt a sharp pain in his right leg
After the capture is completed
Teammates took him to the hospital
Comminuted fracture was diagnosed
"I never dared to tell my family about this
I'm afraid they'll be worried."
During the months of hospitalization
Officer Z's heart was very uncomfortable
"My comrades-in-arms are still doing anti-narcotics work at the border
I was on crutches in the hospital."
Officer Y who served as the head of the special operations team
This is how the young people in the team are evaluated
"They're always on the front line
Not afraid of hardship, not afraid of risks
Criminals don't want to die
Our special operators
More terrible than they are."
Special operators carry guns to arrest drug dealers.
Speaking of the arrests over the years
There was an anti-narcotics mission
It is still unforgettable for Officer Y
In the hot and humid dense forest
He led the team
I squatted for ten days and nine nights
In order not to startle the snake
The special operators braved the heat and exposure to the sun
Facing the torrential rain, he was bitten by mosquitoes
Quietly hidden in the ambush point
They squatted in shifts
When you are sleepy, you can use the woodland as a bed
When thirsty, drink the dew from the leaves
Compared to starvation
What makes them feel the most tormented
The long wait
"Truth be told, on the seventh day
Some of the young brothers are already hiding in the grass and crying."
Strong willpower
Eventually keep them going
They were in that operation
21.85 kilograms of drugs were seized
Three suspected drug traffickers were arrested
The young team members who participated in the operation recalled:
"If you give up halfway
More than 20 kilograms of drugs flowed into the territory
How many families and how many people should be poisoned?"
Drugs they seized during that operation
The special operators made it at work
Great dedication and sacrifice
In my heart, I feel endless guilt for my family
The families of Officer T and Officer Z
I still don't know
They are engaged in dangerous anti-narcotics work
"That's what I told my family
Usually it's training and patrolling
I really don't dare to let them know
I'm afraid they'll be worried."
There was a year
Officer T's mother was injured in the car accident
It was a few days before he found out
"Mom's feet are bloody and blurry
But she still wouldn't let her family tell me
I'm afraid it will affect my work......"
Officer T's mother was treated at the hospital
Holidays
Officer Y had a hard time going home to reunite with his family
There was one anti-drug operation
He didn't go home for more than 70 days
His parents and wife have been silently supporting him
Never complained
But every time he picks up the phone
I heard the immature voice of my three-year-old daughter on the other end of the phone
"Dad, be sure to be safe
The baby is waiting for you at home."
This one with a special operations team brother
A tough guy who has been born and died several times
The tears flowed uncontrollably
Officer Y has a rare moment to play with his daughter
Compared to peers
The average age of the special operators is only 27 years old
Facing danger
Acceptance and loneliness
There have been team members who were broken up because they "lost contact" on a mission
I saw classmates in the circle of friends showing affection and showing affection
"I will also be envious in my heart
But I just can't let go of this responsibility."
For them, injuries are commonplace
On the borders of the Motherland
There are also many anti-narcotics policemen like them
The battle is at the forefront
Face the test of life and death
Fearless, faithful to duty, forgetting life and death
They are faithful with their blood
silently guarding the motherland and the people
To the unsung heroes on the anti-drug front
With the highest respect
Today
Happy Holidays to you all!
