Chapter 1946: Aerial Raid
The entrance to the temple church was guarded, and not a single masked bandit could rush in through the main entrance of the church and the windows on either side.
For the masked bandits, the gate that was close at hand, and the few sparse arched windows, were like a gate to hell, impossible to cross.
At this time, outside the gate of the temple church, there were many masked bandits, some of whom were dead, some of whom were still struggling in pain, screaming incessantly, and their voices were extremely terrible.
The ground was covered with blood, and the façade of the temple church, its gates, and its Gothic-style arched windows had been battered by a torrential rain of bullets and grenade shrapnel.
No one dared to peek out of the main entrance and window of the church anymore, the piercing gunfire became much more sparse, and the smell of gunsmoke and blood in the air became more and more intense.
It's a hell of killing, relentlessly devouring life.
Ironically, in the inner temple of this Gothic church, there are many Christian and Jewish relics, each of which embodies the devout beliefs of countless people and their yearning for peace and a better life.
Ye Tian, who was hiding behind a marble sculpture, looked through the sculpture, staring at the movement of the church door and several windows, the masked bandits outside, and the place beyond, shrouded in darkness beyond.
The seven or eight members of the Swiss Guards, who had been temporarily blinded by flashbomb attacks, finally regained their sight and combat ability after shedding a lot of tears.
"Steven, thank you for your support, we can go into battle"
One of the Swiss Guard members said in a deep voice, and the rest of them also echoed and expressed their gratitude to Ye Tian.
Each of them knew very well in their hearts that if it weren't for Ye Tian rushing over in time to support and suppress those masked bandits with strong firepower and extremely rich combat experience, they would have been killed by the other party long ago.
Even the Middle Temple may even be lost, and the rest of the Swiss Guards led by Leonardo are likely to suffer heavy losses and have to retreat into the Inner Temple.
"You're welcome, guys, we're fighting side by side, you're in danger, of course I'm going to help, and now that you've regained your ability to fight, hold the front of the church.
In the next battle, everyone must be careful that the opponent uses stun bombs, flash grenades, and smoke bombs to attack, and then force their way into the church.
If the British are not idiots, it is time for them to act, everyone hold on a little longer, those masked bandits outside will have to retreat, otherwise they will wait to be wiped out!"
Ye Tian said aloud with a smile, his tone sounded very relaxed, without the slightest feeling of nervousness.
For him, this bloody and brutal battle on a rainy night seemed to be nothing more than a game, and there was no need to be nervous or afraid.
"Understand, Steven, don't worry, we'll be able to keep the direction of the main entrance of the church, and no one will want to rush in through the front door."
Several members of the Swiss Guards responded in unison, quickly regaining their confidence and morale.
Before their voices fell, there was a sudden roar of helicopter engines in the night sky, which reached everyone's ears.
Hearing the roar of this huge engine, Ye Tian immediately asked in a deep voice through the wireless invisible headphones:
"Cole, where did this helicopter come from, ours is a police helicopter from the London Police, or a military helicopter?"
While asking, Ye Tian had already raised his head and looked up.
His gaze instantly pierced through the roof of the Temple Church and looked at the incomparably far but dark sky above.
In the air at a height of about two or three hundred meters, two ghost-like black shadows were descending rapidly, due to the distance, what those two black shadows were, Ye Tian couldn't see clearly for the time being.
However, judging from the constant roar of huge engines, it was clear that they were two helicopters, and they were not small, so it was obvious that they were not good.
Cole's voice came through the headphones, sounding rather solemn.
"Steven, this is certainly not our helicopter, and I didn't order our two medium helicopters to take off and fly to the Temple Church to support or evacuate us.
Judging from the footage taken by the beetle drone placed on the roof of the church, there are two helicopters flying here, and none of them have turned on the lights, which is very abrupt.
Both helicopters were flying from across the Thames, and the previous altitude was very high, so the sound was low, and they began to descend rapidly when they were about to reach the sky over the Temple Church.
Flying in such a dark night requires a very high level of piloting skills, a lot of boldness, and a good familiarity with the terrain.
Obviously, this was an air raid, a raid method often used by special forces on the battlefield, but this time it was a high-altitude flight and did not deliberately avoid radar.
I'm sure the guys who came in these two helicopters were not the SWAT officers of Scotland Yard, nor the British special forces, but the accomplices of the masked bandits outside.
You don't have to think about it, these guys coming from the sky must want to fall from the sky, and then break open the roof of the temple church and the windows on the second floor of the chapel, and burst into the church."
As soon as the words fell, Ye Tian immediately sneered and said:
"Cole, you continue to guard the inner temple, protect the treasures of the Knights Templar and those religious relics, and leave the defense of the roof of the temple church and the second floor of the chapel to me.
Those guys coming from the sky, don't think about rappelling onto the roof of the church, their corpses can come down.
You asked the guy in charge of monitoring to keep an eye on the monitor screen at all times, and let me know the altitude and other movements of the two helicopters in the air as soon as possible, so that I could launch a surprise attack."
"Okay, Steven, be careful yourself, I'll have the guy in charge of monitoring remind you to send those idiots to hell!"
Cole replied in a deep voice, not worried, but becoming more and more excited.
Immediately after, Ye Tian shouted loudly:
"Leonardo, and the rest of the Swiss Guards, all of them opened fire with all their might, blocking the main entrance of the temple church and every window to provide cover for me"
"Roger, Steven"
Leonardo replied loudly, as did the rest of the Swiss Guards in the Middle Temple.
In the next moment, more than two dozen assault rifles from the Middle Temple began to shoot violently, raining bullets wildly, directly blocking the direction of the main entrance of the Temple Church and every window of the Middle Temple.
In the midst of this dense rain of gunfire, Ye Tian had already rushed towards the small chapel located at the junction of the Middle Divine Temple and the Inner Divine Temple, and the speed was extremely fast.
The high-speed impact, like a black lightning, came in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed into the chapel, and then rushed up to the second floor of the chapel along the wooden staircase that rotated upward.
When he rushed to the second floor of the chapel and looked up again at the roof of the temple church, the two medium-sized helicopters that had taken advantage of the night attack over the church had rapidly descended to about 150 meters in the air.
From perspective, the models of the two medium-sized helicopters, the heavily armed masked bandits in the cabin, the assault rifles in their hands, and everything else were all clearly seen by Ye Tian.
Like the masked bandits on the ground, who had suffered heavy casualties, the men who came in two medium-sized helicopters had no documents on them and could not identify them.
Even the two medium-sized helicopters they were flying in were stolen from elsewhere and were painted with the names of two hospitals, both of which were famous hospitals in London.
However, through the faces of those masked bandits, Ye Tian had basically concluded where these guys came from and where they were sacred.
The two medium-sized helicopters were descending rapidly, getting closer and closer to the roof of the temple church.
Ye Tian was still in perspective, always staring closely at the two helicopters in the air.
At the same time, he quickly moved to the window on the second floor of the chapel, clinging to the wall next to the window, waiting for the masked bandits who fell from the sky.
Looking diagonally upwards from this window, you can see just above the roof of the temple church, and this window is located on the side facing the roof of the church, which is very hidden.
As for the roof of this chapel, there is no need to worry.
Because of the small landing area, in such a dark night, the pilots who flew the two helicopters might not dare to rappel on this roof.
Even if they were bold and careful, and their flying skills were superb, and they could accurately find the roof of the chapel and smoothly carry out the rappelling, Ye Tian also had a way to deal with it, and two grenades could solve all the problems.
In the blink of an eye, the two medium-sized helicopters in the night sky quickly descended more than a hundred meters, and they were only less than fifty meters away from the roof of the temple church.
The helicopter engines roared louder and louder, and a hurricane blew around the temple church.
At this time, London has become a complete mess.
Numerous police and military vehicles, carrying large numbers of heavily armed policemen and British soldiers, were speeding madly towards the centre of London from all over the world.
The continuous shrill sirens have completely torn apart this miserable winter night in London!
