A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 726 Attacked

Father Sisper shook his head solemnly and said, "Based on my understanding of them, it shouldn't be them. To be able to take something away right under my nose, they must be extraordinary. Besides, if it really were them, I wouldn't be standing here alive."

The meeting room fell silent once again.

After a moment, Siskool suddenly frowned and said, "Father, look."

Father Sisper looked at the computer screen again, where a group of people with "strange" faces were displayed. They were moving around hurriedly and constantly looking around.

Siskool fast-forwarded, and after a moment restored the playback speed to normal. The screen showed these suspicious people opening black boxes, taking out various weapons, distributing them, and then scattering away.

It's clear that this group consists of a dozen or so Americans and a dozen or so Japanese.

Father Sisper narrowed his eyes and stared at the people on the screen, seemingly finally knowing the "truth," before coldly issuing the order: "Immediately notify our parishioners in Italy to intercept them. Before they send the items out, you must retrieve them at all costs."

"Yes, Father." All the elite members of the church immediately sprang into action.

Italy, western suburbs of Rome.

Colonel Tian Baguang and his men were traveling in the same car towards the western suburbs of the airport. Suddenly, the driver said with a strange expression, "Colonel, there are several cars following us!"

Upon hearing this, Colonel Tian Baguang and his four subordinates turned around in unison. Through the rear windshield, they saw several cars following closely behind. Colonel Tian Baguang quickly ordered, "Xiao Hu, drive faster and try to shake them off."

"Yes, Sir!"

The car suddenly accelerated, and the cars behind seemed to realize that the car in front (the one carrying Colonel Tian Baguang) was trying to escape. They quickly stuck out several people from the windows and doors on both sides of the car, and without saying a word, a dozen rifles were fired wildly at the vehicle carrying Colonel Tian Baguang.

chug chug!

Seeing the other side open fire, Xiao Hu quickly stepped on the gas pedal and kept turning the steering wheel left and right, making the car move in an "S" shape. At the same time, the other members of the elite team also leaned out of the window and opened fire in retaliation.

"Colonel, the enemy outnumbers us and we can't keep going like this!" a member of the elite team shouted as he fired back.

Colonel Tian Baguang frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Hu, do you see that abandoned factory on the right ahead? Drive the car in there."

"Yes, Sir!"

The factory has been abandoned for several years, leaving behind some machinery that cannot be moved, but the surfaces of this machinery are already rusted.

Xiao Hu slammed on the gas pedal, and the car sped toward the abandoned factory, crashing through the door.

Colonel Tian Baguang and his five subordinates quickly got out of the car, then dispersed and found their own hiding places.

They were all hidden just as they were about to be hidden. Seven or eight vehicles followed one after another, and dozens of armed men quickly got out of the vehicles, using cars, pillars, old wooden boxes, or mechanical equipment as cover.

Among these people were Americans and Japanese.

An American leaning against a pillar peeked inside, then quickly ducked back in. Just then, a bullet whizzed past his ear and struck the side window of a car with a "bang," shattering the glass instantly. The bullet sent a chill down the American's spine, and he shouted in English, "Friend, how about we make a deal?"

Colonel Tian Baguang, hiding behind a dilapidated wooden crate, shouted back in English, "How about the deal?"

The American raised the corners of his mouth and then said, "If you hand over the stuff, we'll spare your lives."

Colonel Tian Baguang sneered and pressed, "What if you don't pay?"

The American sneered in return, saying, "Friends, if you don't hand it over, you won't be leaving here safely."

Colonel Tian Baguang laughed and said, "Then we'll see if you have the ability."

The American frowned, then gestured to his companions to separate and encircle them.

Everyone immediately dispersed, slowly moving towards Colonel Tian and his men in a fan shape.

Colonel Tian Baguang seemed to realize that the other side would do this, so he nodded to his subordinates. Then, as they switched positions in pairs, they fired at each other, and several poor bastards were hit and died there.

The enemy naturally launched a counterattack immediately, but unfortunately, the bullets they fired didn't even touch a hair on Colonel Tian's six men.

After several rounds of firing, dozens of enemy soldiers fell, but reinforcements arrived in time and joined the battle.

"what--"

One of the elite team members was unfortunately shot and fell to the ground with a scream. Colonel Tian Baguang and the others quickly looked at their teammate and were immediately shocked: "Xiao Zhang!"

Xiao Zhang looked up and smiled at Colonel Tian and his teammates, then glanced at the enemy closing in. With his last breath, he grabbed the grenade from his waist, then let out a loud shout, using his last strength to get to his feet. After being riddled with bullets, before collapsing to the ground, he threw the grenade away—

"Xiao Zhang, no!" Colonel Tian Baguang and his men cried out in anguish, trying to save him, but it was too late. Xiao Zhang had already been shot multiple times and fell to the ground dead.

"You sons of bitches, I'll fight you to the death!" Colonel Tian Baguang roared, and in his rage, he and his four men fired several more bursts of bullets.

One of the elite team members said, "Colonel, I'm out of bullets."

"Colonel, we're out of bullets too," the other three members said.

Colonel Tian Baguang glanced at his pistol, knowing he was also out of ammunition. He gave a bitter laugh, then looked behind him, seeing no way to retreat, and said, "I'm out of bullets too. Brothers..." This was the first time he had addressed his men like this, "Are you afraid to die?"

"We're not afraid." The five elite team members answered in unison, their faces resolute and their expressions resolute, as if they were ready to die.

"Alright." Colonel Tian Baguang nodded, then drew his military knife from his waist and said resolutely, "Brothers, in the next life, we'll still be brothers."

Although they were all his subordinates, and he was usually very strict and harsh with them, even hitting and scolding them, in his heart they were all his brothers-in-arms, all straightforward and tough men.
