After the commander of the 7th Group Army, General Du Qizheng, gave the order, the squadron immediately prepared.
"1 Company Ready!" A captain officer commanded loudly! More than 200 officers and men of the squadron were loaded with bullets, rifles and light machine guns, and walked towards the gate of the Vatican with neat steps. The sound of neat footsteps resounded in the streets, exuding an indomitable momentum.
Behind this company, other units were also prepared, especially those responsible for fire support. The light and heavy machine guns were already loaded. Howitzers, infantry guns and mortars, all ready for battle, the shells are loaded, and if the Vatican Guards dare to shoot, they will open fire on the Vatican. Let's just talk about this holy place of Catholicism in ruins. The squadron will not pay attention to the status of the Vatican in the minds of these Catholics in the West, in their minds, the emperor's order is the highest, what bullshit God, go aside!
"Lao He, do the Vatican guards dare to open fire?" General Du Qizheng, commander of the 7th Group Army, asked with a stern expression. He was also a little unsure whether these guys who had been bewitched by the gods of the Holy See would do something crazy.
"I don't know, but I don't mind turning the entire Vatican into a hell if they dare to shoot!" Admiral He Bingju said murderously. His Majesty the Emperor had already given the order to storm the Vatican, but not to shoot first. If the Vatican's papal guards dare to shoot, then there is no need to show mercy!
On top of the tower of St. Peter's Basilica. Pope Pius X and Pontifical Secretary Mariano. Rambora was also watching this qiē closely. When I saw the squadron start to march towards the Vatican. Both of them are also very nervous!
"陛xià. What to do? The Chinese are really coming, they are going to break into the Vatican! "The Secretary of State of the Holy See, Mariano. Rambora said with a frightened face, what he was most worried about has happened, it seems that the attitude of the Chinese side is still very tough! They don't mean to give the Vatican face at all. If the Vatican doesn't compromise, then the Vatican will be done this time.
"No, the Chinese at least bluff!" Pope Pius X insisted. In fact, he was also very scared in his heart, but. But he firmly believed that he was right, and the Chinese did not dare to do anything to the Vatican. Even though the facts are already in front of him, he is still unwilling to accept the reality and chooses to escape! He believed that at the most critical moment, miracles would be discovered. As God's most godly servants, God will surely bless them! The Chinese will not risk being the enemy of the entire Western world to attack the Vatican!
"Your Majesty, the Chinese are already about to break into the Vatican! They won't compromise, and if we don't, they'll bloody the Vatican! We don't have to do it for the sake of the high officials of the Italian royal family and government. Put the whole Vatican in it! "The Secretary of State of the Holy See, Mariano. Rambora retorted! Now he can't care about the majesty of the pope, and he has begun to argue with reason!
"Nope! The Vatican will not give in to the Chinese! We are God's servants. No one but God can bring us to our knees! "Pius X is still holding on, and in order to maintain the so-called arrogance of the Holy See, he does not hesitate to put everyone in the Vatican in danger!
"Stop! This is the Vatican, you heretics, get out of heresy! Otherwise we're going to shoot! The soldiers of the Vatican Holy See Guard, who confronted the Chinese Army, looked nervously at the approaching squadron, although they had weapons in their hands, they did not have the courage to shoot. As early as the beginning of the confrontation, they were also ordered that they could not open fire if the Chinese did not enter the Vatican.
But now, the Chinese are obviously about to storm the Vatican, but they still dare not fire! Although these soldiers of the Holy See Guard were loyal to God and even dedicated their lives to God, they also knew that if they dared to open fire, they would inevitably suffer bloody revenge from the Chinese. Then the entire Vatican will be destroyed!
"Captain! The Chinese are going to break in, what should we do? Do you want to fire or not? A soldier of the Holy See Guard asked.
"Bastard, do you want to die? You look at how many Chinese there are, if we dare to open fire, we will die. Come, go and ask the Bishop! The captain ordered. Seeing that the squadron was constantly approaching the Vatican, getting closer and closer to their defense area, he was constantly breaking out in a cold sweat. And the light and heavy machine guns and artillery that appeared on the position of the squadron made his scalp tingle. If the fire provokes the Chinese to return fire, they will definitely be torn to pieces by the light!
At this moment, the top level of the Holy See also quarreled, and the squadron began to march towards the Vatican, which stunned the clergy who asserted that the Chinese did not dare to attack the Vatican. But then they felt a deep horror, what kind of treatment would he be treated once the squadron invaded the Vatican? The small Vatican can't resist the attack of the squadron at all!
The soldiers of the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion of the 231st Regiment of the Chinese Army marched towards the Vatican with their heads held high and marching in orderly steps. The rubber-soled shoes stepped on the pavement made of bluestone slabs, making a low "popping" sound, like a neat drum beat! And the guards of the Vatican Holy See Guard opposite, almost all of them turned pale. The sound of neat footsteps seemed to knock on their hearts, and they felt a wave of fear.
Fifty meters, the soldiers of the Vatican Holy See Guard did not have any reaction, not only did not dare to fire, but began to slowly retreat!
Twenty meters! Ten meters! Five meters!
At 8:34 p.m. on May 21, the squadron forced its way into the Vatican. During this period, the Holy See Guards were intimidated by the prestige of the squadron, and no one dared to shoot.
"Haha! Those guys in the Vatican really don't have the guts to go to war with us! After seeing the troops enter the Vatican, General Du Qizheng, commander of the 7th Army of the Chinese Army, laughed.
General He Bingju, commander of the 8th Group Army, also breathed a sigh of relief. If there is no bloodshed, that would be the best outcome. In this case, China will not need to break with the entire Western world!
After the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion of the 231st Regiment of the Chinese Army entered the Vatican, the next two companies of the 1st Battalion also entered the Vatican. Several tanks and armored vehicles of the armored forces, which had been left outside, also started and drove into the Vatican with the sound of rumbling motors, all the way into St. Peter's Square.
One battalion of squadrons is enough to control the entire Vatican! The Vatican's Holy See Guards are only a few hundred people, and these people look tall and mighty, but in fact they are simply fancy, and they are not the opponents of the squadron at all!
"It's over, the Vatican is over! I am afraid that the prestige of the Catholic Church will fall to the bottom! At the top of the tower of St. Peter's Basilica, Pius X muttered. When the squadron entered the Vatican, his pride was shattered in an instant. And the Holy See Guards faced the squadron, but only kept retreating, this cowardice, so that Pius X was very ashamed, these carefully selected guardians of God, are so vulnerable, they don't even have the courage to confront the squadron!
Secretary of State Mariano. Rambora has left the top of the tower, and with Pius X out of shape, he needs to preside over the affairs of the Vatican, mediate this conflict between the Vatican and the Chinese, and avoid further expansion of the gaffe. If the situation expands, although the Chinese do not want to see it, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Vatican!
The squadron entered the Vatican, so that the priests and nuns inside, like frightened birds, scattered and fled, they hid in their own houses in terror, looking at the squadrons outside, in their eyes, these squadrons are undoubtedly demons crawling out of hell!
"Nope! I'm not leaving the Vatican! You can't kill me! I'm Italy's Minister of Finance! A big fat man shouted in horror.
After the squadron entered the Vatican, they did not pay attention to the clergy when they did not attack them. Instead, they directly began to arrest the high-ranking officials of the Italian royal family and government!
The royal family and high-ranking government officials of the Kingdom of Italy, who were high in the past, shouted in horror one by one, they were unwilling to leave the Vatican, they did not know how the Chinese would treat them, whether they would kill them all! Many people resisted fiercely, but then they were smashed to the ground by several rifle butts, and then dragged out of the Vatican like dead dogs!
"Bang!" A crisp gunshot rang out in the Vatican. An Italian officer who resisted escaped with a pistol and shot a soldier of the squadron! It's just that this shot is equivalent to stabbing a hornet's nest and causing big trouble!
"Bastard!" When their comrades were killed, the Chinese soldiers, of course, would not sit idly by, and they quickly began to return fire. A few seconds later, the Italian official who shot the Chinese soldier was beaten into a hornet's nest!
However, at this time, an accident appeared, and those soldiers of the Vatican Holy See Guard, thinking that the Chinese were massacring the clergy, although they knew that they were not the opponents of the squadron, they began to choose heroic battles.
The attack of the Vatican Holy See Guards caused casualties to the squadron that was arresting the officials of the Italian kingdom and government, and the squadron immediately began to fight back, and fierce battles broke out in the Vatican, and countless clergy were lost in this battle! The Vatican, the holy place in the hearts of Catholics, was also destroyed in the fighting! (To be continued......)
