Bununu, Nigeria (NAFP) – Nine hostages were rescued today by Chinese military forces after Combined Army operatives barricaded themselves in a convenience store.

The hostages could be seen standing in front of the alien terrorists from outside of the building.

As government forces advanced on the store the terrorists would make sorties out to ambush them. General Xi Guofan said that four soldiers were killed in the daring raid and 11 more were wounded. In addition two Guija class TAG units were heavily damaged in the fighting, he said.

The hostage crisis developed after a raid on a Chinese army column went awry and the Combined Army force withdrew from the highway into the town of Bununu, Guofan said.

Eye witnesses to the scene said that people were herded into the building but that government forces responded quickly and in large numbers.

"I kept seeing their air cars coming. I counted maybe four of them land while the situation was going on," said business owner Li Rengan.

"There was quite a bit of other types of aircraft too," he said.

From what government sources have said it appears that four terrorists were killed in the clash and another one was captured.

No hostages were killed in the firefight that saw waves of reinforcements coming in to prevent the escape of the terrorists.

The fighting was intense and it appears that the aliens had significant new resources that have not been seen in the Chinese controlled anti-diaspora.

"I don't know what you could call it other than a monster," said Hu Wei, "it landed near my house. You can still see the crater."

"It just mowed down all those soldiers," Wei said.

He said that the creature, possibly an alien TAG, stood about four meters tall and was as big as a Guija class TAG.

"It came down like a bomb," said another resident, who would only be identified as Oluwafunso.

He said the creature engulfed four Chinese soldiers with a flame throwing weapon before engaging more with some type of heavy assault weapon.

The Chinese military did not have any information regarding the new threat. Guofan said that they are speaking with Pan Oceana forces who reported a similar threat late last week.

"Obviously this is something we will have to take seriously," Guofan said, "It seems that most of the casualties we sustained were from this thing."

"We are still investigating but from initial reports it seems that it went up against one of the TAGs we sent in and managed to destroy the Guija by itself," he said.

"It ultimately required another Guija to bring it down," Guofan said.

He said that the unit was damaged very badly in the fight and that Chinese scientists would do their best to analyse what was left.
