With a gunshot, a bloody hole appeared between the leader's eyebrows.
The leader stared wide-eyed, his eyes still filled with lingering shock.
The sudden turn of events frightened the others into immobility; they hadn't even seen the enemy before their leader died.
"Enemy attack, counterattack..."
The person who spoke was killed the moment he finished speaking.
Gunfire rang out continuously, and they finally realized where the enemy was, firing at the ceiling above them.
Even so, they lost more than 20 lives.
In the heat of the battle, someone realized what was happening.
"Quickly, bring the prisoners here."
The prisoners were all Chinese citizens. French soldiers valued the lives of their citizens most, and as long as prisoners were used to hold them off, the other side would certainly not dare to fire.
Qin was also afraid that they would use the prisoners as leverage, so he took the lead in killing the enemy who charged at the prisoners.
For a moment, everyone else was too afraid to move.
Gunfights erupted right beside them. The factory manager and his men lay prone on the ground in fear, but were also incredibly excited.
Soldiers came to rescue them; they won't die now.
Just then, the door was blown open with a bang, and several fully armed soldiers rushed in and opened fire on the enemies from behind.
Caught in a pincer attack, the enemy was quickly annihilated.
Team Leader Qin was the first to jump down from the ceiling, took out a dagger, and cut the ropes of one of the prisoners.
"You stay here and don't go out. We're going to check if there are any other enemies."
The prisoner quickly nodded and took the rag out of his mouth.
"Comrades, don't worry, we won't go out."
Team Leader Qin nodded and followed the other team members out.
Just then, the factory manager's rope was cut, and he quickly stood up and shouted.
"Comrade, there is a place that leads directly to the enemy's room."
Team Leader Qin glanced at him unexpectedly, a knowing look flashing in his eyes.
"Are you the factory manager here? Tell me where it is."
Although news of the battle here has reached the other side's ears, they are already on alert.
If they could go directly to the enemy's room, they could quickly take control of the situation.
The factory manager nodded. "I'll take you there."
The group quickly arrived at the end of the corridor, where they saw a small door on one of the walls.
"This is the garbage chute we built to make garbage collection easier."
This was the first time Team Leader Qin had ever seen such a garbage chute, and he gave the factory manager a thumbs up.
"This is a great idea. With this, we can quickly get rid of the trash."
The factory manager chuckled, "This garbage chute has garbage vents on every floor. I'll give you the key; you can open the garbage vents from the inside."
Actually, when he designed it, it was purely a spur-of-the-moment decision. He put keyholes on both the inside and outside, so it could be opened from either side.
He later regretted it, feeling that it was useless and a waste of building resources.
But this time it actually came in handy.
The garbage chute was so narrow that only one person could barely squeeze through.
With ropes tied to the outside, they can slide down little by little.
They were just on the 4th floor. There were also enemies on the 3rd and 1st floors, as well as many Chinese people under their control.
The fourth floor is the office area with many rooms, while the lower floors are factories and are quite spacious.
When the criminal gang stormed in, many people were at work, so they were all brought under control and no one escaped.
They first went to the third floor, where the garbage chute smelled bad, with a strong stench.
However, Qin and his team had seen all sorts of environments, so they weren't worried at all.
The garbage chute on the third floor was opened, and everyone heard the panicked voices of the criminal gang, but they were all a little far away.
After all, no one would have expected that the enemy would suddenly appear inside a wall.
They are now all guarding the windows at the stairwell, nervously watching for any possible enemy appearance.
Therefore, the large group of people had their backs to Qin and his team.
What are we waiting for? We must fire!
The battle on the third floor ended quickly; all the enemies were dead in just over 10 minutes.
Now only citizens of China remain.
Upon seeing the soldiers, they were both thrilled and relieved.
So as not to disturb the soldiers' next move, they all stared at them expectantly without saying a word.
Team Leader Qin nodded to them, then led his men down the garbage chute right in front of them.
Originally intending to imitate the actions on the third floor, the members were about to go out when Qin grabbed them.
He held up a finger to his lips, signaling the other person to be quiet.
Then he leaned against the wall and listened, his expression growing increasingly serious.
There's not a sound outside, something's wrong.
Did the other party notice?
Team Leader Qin had a bad feeling; someone was tipping off the enemy.
Moreover, this person was hiding among those who had been captured.
This behavior is practically tantamount to treason.
Team Leader Qin ordered the garbage chute to be opened and threw out a tear gas canister.
Then they closed the garbage chute door, and loud coughing and cursing could be heard from outside.
Everyone found it very satisfying.
Wearing masks, the group rushed into the garbage chute before the smoke had completely dissipated.
Gunfire continued to ring out, and they encountered fierce resistance.
Fortunately, the enemy's weapons were not very sophisticated, and with Qin's team working together seamlessly, they were able to eliminate all the enemies.
After the enemy had been dealt with, Captain Qin ordered his men to search them to see if they had anything that could be used for communication.
"We've found the captain, it's the walkie-talkie!"
This walkie-talkie is old and outdated, something that was discarded by the British. Its communication range is only within 30 meters.
"Captain, we haven't caught that traitor yet. Let's go and arrest him now."
"Captain, we went through so much trouble to rescue them, and they actually betrayed our country for their own benefit. Such people must be severely punished."
Team Leader Qin said, "First, send a message to the leaders and ask them to come and meet us here."
This is the most important thing.
Moreover, their mission was to protect Lin Chuchu, so they couldn't afford to waste any time.
He was always a little uneasy about entrusting Lin Chuchu to someone else for protection.
One of them was injured, in the arm, but thankfully it wasn't too serious.
After the soldiers arrived and took over, Captain Qin led his men back to the warship.
When Lin Chuchu saw him, she knew she was out of danger.
"How are you all? Is anyone hurt?"
Lin Chuchu asked worriedly.
Team Leader Qin nodded. "The mission is complete. One person accidentally injured his arm, but it's nothing serious and has been treated."
Lin Chuchu nodded, finally feeling relieved.
The rescue operation went much more smoothly afterward, and all the surviving Chinese citizens were taken aboard the warship.
There were a total of 8,692 people, and nearly 2,000 died.
Everyone was heavy-hearted. After carefully confirming that there were no other survivors, they ordered the revenge to begin.
