Seeing this, Fang Lang immediately made a judgment. He took out a pistol from his waist and patted Qi Qingshan who was standing in front of him.
"Watch out for the two Germans at three o'clock, there's a problem with them."
When Qi Qingshan heard Fang Lang's words, he did not turn around, but quietly pointed the gun in his hand at the two men who were still pretending to hide.
Zhuang Xintian's voice came from behind:
"Boss, let's retreat back to the room first! It's too dangerous here."
Fang Lang certainly knew that it was very dangerous here, but the constant gunfire outside meant that Colonel Chatham was still resisting, so he wanted to help a little.
Looking at the small door at the back of the hotel, I couldn't help but curse inwardly at the French for being so slow to react.
If the enemy really attacks the residents in the hotel, with your reaction time, by the time you come in, everyone will be dead.
Although it is not known what the specific goals of the two people in the hotel lobby are.
...
...
Fang Lang felt that he couldn't let them succeed.
"Nitta, watch out for the two Germans at three o'clock."
When Zhuang Xintian heard Fang Lang's words, he glanced at the two Germans out of the corner of his eye. Just as Zhuang Xintian was about to speak.
Finally, more than a dozen French soldiers with rifles rushed out from the back door.
The soldiers still showed a certain level of combat effectiveness, at least their battle formation was maintained fairly well.
They arrived at the hotel entrance and started firing at the gunmen who were besieging the convoy outside.
The distance that Fang Lang could see the enemy from the window was probably more than two hundred meters.
Seeing this situation, Fang Lang couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Are your marksmanship so good at such a long distance?
If you open fire directly like this, what effect will it have other than attracting some of the enemy's firepower?
Without waiting for Fang Lang to express any opinion, Zhuang Xintian had already stood in front of Fang Lang and pushed him upstairs.
The guards around also took out their guns, looking as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
Two Germans who were about to take action accidentally saw this scene.
They looked at each other, then lay down on the ground without looking around, but both of them kept one hand hidden near their abdomen.
Seeing this, Fang Lang clearly understood what was going on.
It looked like these two guys were planning to attack the French occupation forces in the hotel from behind.
But now he was frightened by the defensive actions of his guards and dared not act rashly.
However, Fang Lang felt that given the combat effectiveness displayed by the French army in the hotel, there was no need to attack them from behind.
It was also difficult for them to have much impact on the fighting outside.
However, this passive situation is not what Fang Lang wants.
"Arrange four people to guard the lobby, focusing on guarding against possible enemies in the hotel."
Fang Lang winked at Zhuang Xintian, indicating that he should pay special attention to the two Germans lying on the ground.
He also said:
"Didn't you tell me last time that there are two snipers in your team who are good at marksmanship? Arrange them to go upstairs and provide remote support to Colonel Chatham.
Help them eliminate those more dangerous enemies."
Although the French troops in the hotel were not very strong in combat, they were very close to the headquarters of the occupation forces.
Soldiers should be able to support Colonel Chatham soon.
Fang Lang took a look at the situation of the guards around him.
In the end, they gave up the idea of rushing out to help. After all, their people were all wearing casual clothes, and if they rushed out, they might be accidentally injured by the French army.
It won’t be clear by then.
However, long-range sniper firepower can still help.
"Yes, boss!"
Zhuang Xintian took the order and signaled his two men to leave and carry out the order.
Fang Lang looked at the two Germans lying on the ground again, thought for a moment and said:
"When it's over, arrange for someone to keep an eye on these two guys."
Zhuang Xintian nodded to show that he understood.
Fang Lang walked up the stairs under Qi Qingshan's protection.
The soldiers were worried about whether there were other enemies in the hotel, so they advanced very carefully.
There were soldiers on guard in front and behind, and they even forced back several residents who were about to come out to check the situation.
However, Fang Lang didn't care. After all, this place was now a key protected area by the French.
It is unlikely that there are many enemies hiding in the hotel.
The two Germans in the lobby probably have no way to come up, so they can only look for opportunities in the lobby.
However, if they wanted to attack the French army from behind, it would only be convenient to do so in the lobby.
Fang Lang returned to the hotel room and hid behind the wall, observing the situation outside through the gap in the curtains.
On the road more than 200 meters away from the hotel, there was a truck in front and behind, blocking the four French jeeps.
The first jeep had already crashed into the truck and was smoking.
The doors of the jeep at the back were open, and on both sides were some soldiers in French uniforms lying or squatting.
There were more than ten bodies lying on the ground.
Fang Lang did not see Colonel Chatham.
"Has anybody seen what has happened to Colonel Chatham?"
“Boss, I didn’t see Colonel Chatham’s situation, but I feel that the attackers should withdraw.
Do we need to go down and check the situation?"
Zhuang Xintian was looking out from behind the curtain on the other side.
"We are just guests. We should not steal the show and cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
Fang Lang said as he took out a telescope and looked outside.
"But, Boss, if something happens to Colonel Chatham, will our actions be affected?"
Qi Qingshan obviously understood that Fang Lang's actions in Stuttgart now required the support of Colonel Chatham.
“It will definitely have an impact.
But we can't help now!
Unless the French give us permission, we cannot take the initiative to participate in it.”
Fang Lang was also helpless! Everything was going well and according to plan. Who would have thought that Colonel Chatham, who came to find him, would be attacked as soon as he walked out of the hotel!
Now Fang Lang hopes that the French will not include him in the list of suspects.
"Boss, the French reinforcements have arrived."
The first person to discover the arrival of reinforcements was Qi Qingshan.
“I saw that the occupation headquarters was so close to the site of the attack, and the French army’s response was a bit slow!
It took seven or eight minutes before reinforcements arrived at the scene.
If it's any later, you don't need to come."
Watching the battle downstairs, Fang Lang couldn't help but start commenting.
Suddenly a signal light exploded in the sky.
Fang Lang quickly turned the telescope to look for the location where the flare was launched.
Zhuang Xintian's voice came to my ears:
“Boss, the attackers are starting to withdraw.
Their actions were resolute.
No wonder the battle lasted so long. Their numbers are few and only four people are able to evacuate now. "
However, Fang Lang did not continue to watch the battle below, but became a little worried because he found that the signal light was actually emitted from the roof of the hotel.
Leaning against the wall, Fang Lang couldn't help but start to murmur in his heart.
The planner of the attack actually also lived in the hotel. It seems that this hotel is not safe!
“Xin Tian, the flare was fired from the roof of the hotel. Send two soldiers to go up and see if they can stop the commander.
It seems that the hotel is not safe!
We don’t have many people, so we need to be more cautious now.”
"Yes, Boss, I'll go and take a look myself."
“Then you should be careful, control anyone suspicious first, and don’t let the suspect slip through the net.
I don't want to live with these rebels."
"clear."
Zhuang Xintian rushed out of the room without looking back.
"Boss, I saw Colonel Chatham. He was under the second-to-last jeep."
Qi Qingshan's words suddenly rang in my ears.
Hearing this, Fang Lang raised his telescope again and looked towards the scene.
Sure enough, I saw a figure crawling out from under the second-to-last jeep.
Although it looks a bit embarrassed.
However, it is still possible to tell that this person is indeed Colonel Chatham.
After crawling out, Colonel Chatham lay on the ground and did not stand up.
Use your right hand holding the gun to press on your left arm.
It looks like he was injured.
Fortunately, it didn’t die immediately.
Fang Lang doesn't care whether the other party is a coward and afraid of death!
He simply did not want to re-establish contact with a new commander of the occupying forces.
"The French troops in the hotel also moved in.
But this is cautious enough. They dared to rush out of the hotel only after the enemy had evacuated. "
Hearing Qi Qingshan's ridicule, Fang Lang smiled and said:
"It's good enough that they don't surrender, do you still expect them to charge forward without fear of death?
That’s a bit too much to ask.”
Everyone in the room laughed.
It seems that everyone is very familiar with the fact that the French like to surrender.
Finally the gunfire outside stopped.
Fang Lang noticed that the French soldiers had begun to chase in the direction the attackers were retreating.
However, Fang Lang estimated that they would not gain much, after all, there were only four surviving attackers.
If you flee in different directions and go into small alleys, it will be difficult to be discovered.
I saw several French soldiers approaching Colonel Chatham and surrounding him.
Colonel Chatham stood up with the help of the soldiers.
Seeing this, Fang Lang felt relieved. At least he didn't have to worry about changing partners.
"Boss, should we go down and take a look?"
Qi Qingshan looked at Fang Lang and said.
Fang Lang shook his head and said:
"Everyone is on high alert right now, and our people all have guns, so don't go over there and cause unnecessary trouble!
However, we must keep a close eye on the two suspicious targets found in the lobby.
See if you can find their lair.
Let's wait and see if Nitta can find the person who fired the flare on the top floor."
Fang Lang, who had originally been thinking about going out more often and discovering some outstanding talents, was no longer in the mood.
It seems that the security situation in Stuttgart is not as good as imagined.
If I go out by myself and get surrounded by people like this, I'll probably be in trouble.
After all, he had no French reinforcements.
And even if the French could send reinforcements to rescue him, Fang Lang didn't quite believe in the French efficiency.
Maybe it's just like Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, where the police appear at the end of the film to clean up the mess.
However, today's attack made Fang Lang feel a little strange.
This was clearly an attack with a clear target, probably aimed at Colonel Chatham.
But Chatham came to the hotel to see me today, it was obviously a last-minute arrangement!
I haven't received any notification.
How did the enemy know?
Could it be that there is a traitor within the French army itself?
But why didn't the other party attack when Colonel Chatham and his men came out, but when they were returning?
Fang Lang began to analyze this matter in his mind.
He did not want to help Colonel Chatham find the murderer, although he considered himself a friend of Colonel Chatham.
But now Stuttgart is French territory and no one has asked you for help.
Why are you putting it there to act like a big shot?
He just doesn't want to be a pawn used by others.
