473: Chapter 470 The Angel Invited by Satan 473: Chapter 470 The Angel Invited by Satan The cars were moved aside, but the armored vehicle did not immediately appear.
One of Brejinsky’s men began to cross himself and mutter prayers, and influenced by him, more people started to join in the prayer line, eventually even Glolov, who was normally devout but tossed God aside in battle, began to pray.
Gao Yang had no particular faith, just like Li Jinfang and Cui Bo, but at this moment, Gao Yang was also silently praying to all the gods he knew, hoping for some kind of miracle.
Gao Yang was not asking for much, he dared not hope the armored car would fail to appear, but even if it was delayed for a while, that would benefit them.
It was unclear which deity had bestowed their grace, but after five minutes, the armored vehicle still hadn’t shown up.
The first person who had started praying got more enthusiastic, his quiet murmurs turning loud.
However, his impassioned prayers seemed to have the opposite effect, as the sound of his prayers grew louder, Gao Yang heard the rumbling of an engine.
Gao Yang’s face was already pale from excessive blood loss, but it turned even paler upon hearing the engine’s roar.
Gao Yang rushed to the entrance and quickly peeked outside, a white-painted wheeled armored vehicle had appeared within his line of sight.
What’s worse than one armored vehicle appearing?
Two armored vehicles appearing.
Following the wheeled armored vehicle was a tracked armored vehicle, its main weapon not a machine gun but a cannon, a Bradley M2 armored vehicle.
Gao Yang no longer had the strength to be shocked, he turned his head and said in a wooden tone to Brejinsky, “The Colombian police are using Bradleys; who do they plan to shoot with a 25mm autocannon?”
Brejinsky sighed and said, “You have to understand, the Colombian guerrillas have tanks, and it’s not strange for gangs to bring out armored vehicles during a firefight.”
The moment Brejinsky’s words fell, the police started to blast their messages through the loudspeakers again, and after their announcements, Brejinsky shrugged and said, “The police are giving us two minutes, if we don’t lay down our weapons and go out in two minutes, they’ll start their assault.”
Gao Yang shook his head and said, “Let’s hold out, and if the armored car comes close, we’ll retreat into the operating room.”
At this point, Glolov loudly said, “I think we should move back, a 25mm autocannon will shred the walls as if they’re paper.”
Gao Yang waved his hand and then silently backed away a few steps.
Brejinsky took a grenade box, put all the grenades he had into it, and holding the box said, “Put your grenades in here as well, maybe if there is a chance later, I’ll try to blow up the armored vehicles.”
Tommy shook his head and said, “It won’t work; I’ve tried it, over a dozen grenades are not powerful enough unless modified a bit.
Maybe the wheeled armored vehicle can be taken out, but it’s useless against the Bradley.”
Brejinsky let out a long sigh and said, “Let’s try, maybe we’re lucky this time.”
Gao Yang threw the grenade he was holding into the box and asked, “What are you planning?”
Brejinsky looked distressed and said, “I was thinking of crawling under the armored vehicle with this box.
Aside from a kamikaze attack, I can’t think of any other way.”
Gao Yang patted Brejinsky on the shoulder and then said in a deep voice, “Any last words?”
Brejinsky shook his head and replied, “No need for last words, I’ve written a will a while ago, it’s okay.”
The police shouted another message, and after their announcement ended, the armored vehicle fired its cannon.
The armored vehicle came from the left side of the clinic, the shells hit the wall on the left side of the entrance, diagonally pierced through the thick brick wall and, carrying high-speed flying brick and stone debris, hit the right wall inside the clinic, leaving a hole in it.
Looking at the hole in the wall, Brejinsky smacked his lips and said, “Warning shots, the content of the shout was a one-minute countdown.”
Gao Yang smiled bitterly and said, “This is a residential area, right?
Did anyone see the police evacuate the civilians?
They’re just going to start bombing without evacuating civilians?
This isn’t a machine gun.”
Brejinsky disdainfully said, “Save it, this is Colombia.”
Gao Yang let out a long breath and said, “Less than a minute to go; it looks like people are going to die this time.
Let’s divide the work, if Bear fails, who will take over?
I can’t move well, and the chances of success are slim, so does anyone volunteer to take over Bear’s mission?”
Tommy raised his hand and said, “I don’t care whether I live or die, really; I’ve got money now, and if I die, there’s nothing to worry about.
If Bear fails, then let it be me.”
After Tommy finished, Glolov shrugged his shoulders and said, “If Worker Bee fails and there’s still a chance, then I’ll do it.”
Cui Bo shouted loudly, “I’m next.
Anyway, if we can’t take down the armored vehicle, we’re dead, sooner or later it’s all the same.”
Lee Jinfang chuckled and said, “You don’t need to take over.
If the second person fails, the third person has hardly any chance, and you’re the fourth, no luck.”
The roar of the engine grew louder again, and as the sound of the tracks rolling over the ground followed, Gao Yang sighed, “Here it comes.”
Brejinsky slung his gun over his back, his left hand holding the box, his right hand pulling the pin from a grenade with his teeth, crouching with ready posture to rush out.
The armored vehicle stopped and fired four shells at the clinic’s main gate, instantly creating four large holes in the wall.
After firing four shells, the armored vehicle advanced a few meters and rhythmically fired another four rounds.
This was a show of force, as well as fire preparation.
If Gao Yang and the others stayed not far behind the door, they would have definitely been turned to minced meat by the autocannon.
Gao Yang and the rest had already hidden in the innermost part of the clinic, their next fallback being the operating room.
Unless the armored vehicle stopped at the clinic entrance and aimed directly at them, it was impossible to hit them.
Only Brejinsky stayed outside; his body started to tremble, growling low like a wild beast, waiting for the armored vehicle to draw closer, his growls growing louder.
When the front of the armored vehicle appeared at the clinic’s entrance, Brejinsky roared, released the handle of the grenade, and then charged toward the doorway.
Three seconds later, all the grenades in the box would explode simultaneously.
Brejinsky hoped that while the blast would tear him to shreds, it could also take down an armored vehicle.
Though there were two armored vehicles, destroying the Bradley armed with an autocannon would at least give those still alive a glimmer of hope.
However, Brejinsky knew his hopes had been dashed, as the machine gun on the armored vehicle fired continuously, sealing off the clinic’s main gate completely.
Brejinsky could rush out, but he would certainly be turned into a sieve by the machine gun bullets the moment he exited the doorway.
Just as Brejinsky was about to collide with the wall of bullets, he heard a loud boom, and then, he saw a turret fly over his head, spinning in the air before falling to the ground.
Brejinsky did manage to rush out, the wall of fire gone.
What came into his view was an armored vehicle, or rather the remains of one, with its turret blown off, engulfed in roaring flames.
With his intended target gone, Brejinsky instinctively threw the grenade, which had barely flown a few meters when it exploded in midair.
Brejinsky staggered back into the clinic, and pointing at the remnants of the armored vehicle behind him with a dazed expression, he said, “It wasn’t me, I don’t know why, but it just suddenly exploded.”
The phone had been ringing for a long time, but Gao Yang, preoccupied with tension, hadn’t heard it.
Now, amidst an indescribable silence, he finally heard the ring of his phone.
“Buddy, the Angels are here!”
Gao Yang was close to tears.
After picking up the call and hearing Nate’s familiar voice, he said from the bottom of his heart, “You really are an angel, truly, you all are angels.”
“Buddy, get clear.
The missiles are coming.
We’ve got to take out the armored vehicles first.”
After Nate’s warning, Gao Yang could then hear Nate shout through the phone, “Short round, two volleys, fire!
Snipers, take your positions, take out the enemy snipers.
Mortars, thirty rounds rapid fire.
Assault team, get ready.”
After hearing Nate issue a series of commands over the phone, Gao Yang knew they had been saved because the Angel Mercenary Corps had come, and they came bearing heavy arms.
Using AT-14 “Short round” anti-tank missiles on an armored vehicle, firing two volleys at that, an armored vehicle was in for trouble.
Following two explosions, the remaining armored vehicle turned into a blazing fireball.
After the anti-tank missile explosions echoed, they were followed by the sounds of exploding shells.
Amidst a series of loud bangs, Gao Yang heard Nate’s voice again.
“Using mortars and anti-tank rockets in the capital of a country, huh, annihilating a police SWAT team, buddy, I must admit, this kind of thing is exhilarating.”
Gao Yang didn’t know what to say.
After being stunned for a moment, he said in a daze, “I don’t know what to say, but you guys are fierce.”
“I’m Nate Schumacher, and my mercenary group is the Angel Mercenary Corps.
Buddy, you can’t just describe us as ‘fierce,’ think of something better.”
“Um, you’re more angelic than actual angels, sincerely.”
Nate laughed heartily.
Then, he shouted loudly, “Team A, go wipe out the rest of the police on the other side, I don’t want anyone able to shoot at us while we’re pulling out.
Team B, coordinate with the snipers, search out enemy snipers, and quickly deal with any hidden enemy shooters.
Do you want me to get shot in the head when I’m meeting with Ram?”
Nate didn’t cover the microphone when giving orders, so Gao Yang could clearly hear Nate’s words, and after issuing the commands, Nate Schumacher continued on the phone, “Ram, wait two more minutes to clean up any remaining enemies, and then, do you come here or do I go there?” (To be continued.
