Chapter 1949: Retreat
Ye Tian did not leave the second floor of the chapel, he quickly changed to another window where he could see the back of the temple church, condescendingly, and began to roll call with the G36C short assault rifle in his hand.
As before, his attack was still very secure and efficient, hiding behind the wall next to the window, poking the muzzle of the assault rifle through the broken window, and then firing at a point.
From perspective, the masked bandits behind the temple church, hiding in the darkness or behind various buildings, were clearly visible to him, as if they were daytime.
"Bang Bang Bang"
With the sound of assault rifle firing, a series of fires suddenly flashed from the second floor of the chapel towards a window at the back of the church, which was extremely dazzling.
In the next moment, a guy lying behind the flower bed, his head was like a hammer falling from the sky, and he was directly blasted by three rifle bullets and smashed to the ground.
Another masked bandit was dealt with and went to hell to report.
Ye Tian didn't look at the result of the attack at all, the three bullets just flew out, he had quickly moved the muzzle of the gun, locked on another guy hiding in the dark, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang Bang Bang"
The rhythmic sound of rifle fire rang out again, and another fresh life was ruthlessly ended.
The rest of the masked bandits behind the temple church who were hiding in the darkness all saw the continuous flash of fire from the window on the second floor of the chapel, and also saw the bloody picture of their companions being shot in the head by the other party.
They immediately fought back, almost all of them raising their guns and starting to shoot at the window, raining bullets full of hatred and fear.
A large wave of rifle bullets pierced through the darkness at high speed, but most of them smashed into the granite façade of the second floor of the chapel, stirring up patches of fire.
Some bullets also passed through the window and entered the chapel, but they didn't even touch a single hair of Ye Tian.
At this moment, the medical rescue helicopter that was billowing in smoke and crashing into the square in front of the temple church finally smashed to the ground, and came into contact with the granite paved ground with extremely intimate contact.
"Boom"
The sound of a violent explosion sounded again, shaking everyone and the whole of London.
Immediately after, the medical rescue helicopter that had fallen apart burst into flames, turning into a huge fireball in an instant, reflecting the entire sky.
"Ah——!h
In a terrible scream, several guys rushed out of the huge fireball, and their bodies were already on fire, and their condition was extremely miserable!
Another medical helicopter did not fly a few hundred meters away to the Thames, crashed into the street leading to the Thames, and then exploded violently, and then burned wildly.
Several masked bandits in the helicopter ended up like their companions, all ignited by the splash of gasoline, turned into burning men, and rushed straight to the Thames River just a stone's throw away.
For them, the river that flowed quietly in the darkness was the only hope of escape, and it was too late to consider whether the icy water would freeze itself!
After two violent explosions in quick succession, the gunfire around the temple church quickly became quieter.
The remnants of the masked bandits who besieged the Temple Church were saddened to find that no matter how hard they tried, even if they fought for their lives, they would not be able to storm the church at all costs.
Even if the temple church was close at hand and the gates were open, there was no possibility of attacking it.
Those religious relics that are placed in the temple in the temple church and cause a sensation in the whole world will never be available to those of themselves, let alone bring them back to their own country, it is just a dream!
Those bastards guarding the temple church are too difficult to deal with.
Especially Steven and his gang of armed security personnel, in the case of geographical advantage, are like a group of devils and butchers, one by one, they are extremely ruthless, and they kill people mercilessly!
Even those members of the Vatican Swiss Guard, who lack actual combat experience, are desperate enough to protect those religious relics and the honor of the Swiss Guard for hundreds of years, and it is equally difficult to deal with!
And as the battle progressed, those members of the Swiss Guard were quickly adapting to the bloody battle scenes, quickly turning the results of previous training into real combat experience.
There is no doubt that this night attack has been a complete failure, and it has paid a very heavy price, and it is a question of how it will end.
Not only these masked bandits involved in the battle, but the commander who hid behind them, also realized this at this time, otherwise he would be too stupid.
This, combined with the large number of armed security personnel who were desperately rushing towards the Temple Church in several nearby streets, as well as a large number of London police officers and British soldiers who were about to arrive here, directly extinguished all hope.
If you don't evacuate, there will be no chance, and all those who participated in tonight's night attack will probably be wiped out.
Soon, the remnants of masked bandits around the temple church, who were hiding in the darkness, received orders to retreat.
Then, like a tidal wave, these guys of unknown origin began to retreat rapidly, and under the cover of night, quickly retreated into the distance.
Even when they retreated, these guys showed extremely high military qualities, covering each other, making full use of the terrain to protect themselves, and always on high alert, not a rout of the rabble.
These things that happened in the dark were all seen by Ye Tian one by one.
He was the first to stop shooting, no longer attacking the retreating masked bandits, and then said in a deep voice through the wireless invisible headphones:
"Guys, it's time for a ceasefire, the masked bandits of unknown origin outside have begun to retreat, don't chase after you, and leave the rest to the London police and British soldiers!
Whether those guys can escape the crazy encirclement and suppression of the British police and military depends on their ability, with the strong strength and careful planning ability they have just shown, it may really be possible to escape!
Cole, inform Leonardo of them and let them cease fire, but everyone must be vigilant, ready to fight again, and never allow anyone to enter the temple church until dawn."
"Understood, Steven, I'll inform Leonardo of them"
Cole replied in a deep voice, and immediately went into action.
As the order came out, everyone stopped shooting.
This bloody and rainy night battle is finally over, and there are no more deafening gunshots and explosions, no more dazzling fires flashing out of the windows, and the temple church gradually calms down!
And the square in front of the temple church is still blazing.
The medical rescue helicopter was still burning, the flames were soaring into the sky, the smoke was billowing out, and many police cars and military vehicles that had been beaten to a thousand points were also burning wildly, and some of them were only skeletons!
On the ground, there were miserable corpses, London policemen, British soldiers, masked bandits, and so on, lying on the ground.
The wounded London policemen and British soldiers, one by one, were lying on the ground or huddled in a corner, wailing and screaming, blood was flowing, and their lives were in danger!
As for the masked bandits who were injured before, when the remnants of the masked bandits evacuated, they also took away those injured companions, leaving not a single wounded behind.
The sky was still drizzling, and the temperature was getting colder, shivering cold.
And on the ground around the temple church, there was already a river of blood, and blood and rain were mixed together, flowing freely.
Through the roaring fire, it can be clearly seen that the ground around the temple church is completely stained with blood, and countless bullet casings are soaked in blood.
Then look at the Temple Church, with its main entrance and all the arched windows in the Gothic style, as well as the façade of the church, and even the sculpture of a double horse standing in the front square, all of which are battered and miserable!
This famous church in the Gothic style is no longer as solemn and grand, let alone artistic, it looks more like a war site, but fortunately it has not collapsed.
Several buildings around the Temple Church, such as the historic Victorian building on the side, the art fountain in the front square, and the restaurant opposite the main entrance, were all shattered.
Even several other buildings dozens or hundreds of meters away were ravaged over and over again by the rain of bullets flying at high speed in the dark, and they had long been unrecognizable!
All of this adds up to a hellish picture that looks terrifying and creepy!
