Chapter 1060 Ambush
As the battle continued, some male students also joined the battle, attacking the soldiers with sticks, stones, and even military clubs picked up from the ground.
“For justice!”
“Protect our classmates!”
“Down with violence!”
The addition of students made the battlefield situation even more chaotic. The soldiers of Yasui Asahi's regiment were overwhelmed and their formation began to collapse.
The captain stood at the back, clenching his fists, veins bulging out. His heart was filled with conflict and anger.
"Captain, what should we do?" the lieutenant colonel asked anxiously, "If we don't give the order to open fire, we will be surrounded!"
The captain's eyes swept over those young faces, and he felt a pang of pain in his heart. Gang members were easy to deal with, but these students were from famous families. If they were shot, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Damn it!" He cursed in a low voice, "Those guys from Pu Yu will definitely push me out as a scapegoat later!"
He took a deep breath and made a difficult decision.
"Everyone listen up!" The commander of the corps ordered loudly, "Evacuate towards the Emperor's Palace! Give up the suppression!"
"Retreat?" The lieutenant colonel was stunned.
"That's right," the captain gritted his teeth and said, "We can't take the blame for this!"
The soldiers began to retreat in an orderly manner, gradually withdrawing from the battle. Seeing this, the gang members and students cheered and took the opportunity to chase them.
The commander of the regiment looked at the chaotic battlefield with mixed feelings. He knew that this retreat meant the failure of the suppression, but at least the lives of the soldiers were saved.
"Let's go!" He took a last look at the students who were shouting "justice" and turned away.
On the streets, the cheers of gang members and students rose and fell, like the trumpets of victory. The retreat of the Yasui Asahi League marked the complete failure of this suppression operation.
Asanogawa's convoy was on its way to the industrial area, with the 24th Regiment following closely behind.
Suddenly, there was a sound of sudden brakes coming from the front.
"Report!" A soldier ran to Asanogawa's car, "The road ahead has been dug up!"
Asanogawa frowned and got out of the car, and walked quickly to the front. He saw a huge pothole on the road of Changsu Street, about five meters deep, spanning the entire street, and seven meters long.
After the commander of the 24th Regiment personally inspected the situation, he quickly walked over to Asanogawa and said, "Mr. Asano, this was premeditated. The edges of the pit are neat and tidy, and it was obviously dug in advance."
Asanogawa squatted down and carefully observed the edge of the pit. The captain was right, this was definitely not dug out temporarily.
"They even dare to dig a road?" Asanogawa sneered, "It seems they came prepared."
"The most troublesome thing is," the wing commander pointed to the buildings on both sides of the pit, "this street is lined with residential buildings, and the troops cannot go around it. We must find another route."
Asanogawa stood up and squinted his eyes to look around. This location was very cleverly chosen, right on the main road leading to the industrial area.
"They are trying to delay time," Asanogawa's voice turned cold, "The riot among the workers has already begun, and they want to prevent us from sending reinforcements."
The commander wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked: "Do we need to send in engineers to fill the hole?"
"It's too late," Asanogawa shook his head, "It will take at least an hour for the engineers to arrive."
He turned and looked at the map, his eyes flashing with a cold light: "It seems that we have to change the route."
Just as Asanogawa was about to order a change of route, a sharp brake sound suddenly came from behind.
"What's going on?" Asanogawa looked back and saw dozens of trucks blocking the road.
"Report!" A soldier ran over in a hurry, "The rear is blocked!"
Asanogawa's face suddenly turned gloomy.
The door of the truck was pushed open, and four or five hundred men in black filed out. They moved quickly, holding Zhongzheng rifles, and even light and heavy machine guns and light mortars.
"These people..." The captain's face changed drastically, "These equipments are all military grade!"
The men in black quickly spread out on the street, forming a semi-encirclement. The leader in black stared at Asanogawa coldly, holding a rifle in his hand.
"Master Asano," he called out in a hoarse voice, "we have been waiting for you for a long time."
Asanogawa narrowed his eyes and thought to himself. These people were well-equipped and well-trained, and were obviously not ordinary thugs. Who was supporting them behind the scenes?
"What do you want to do?" Asanogawa asked coldly, "This is blatant rebellion!"
"Rebellion?" The black-clad leader sneered, "We are just here to invite Master Asano to have a cup of tea."
He waved his hand, and the men in black raised their weapons and pointed their guns at the 24th Regiment.
Asanogawa's heart sank. The equipment and training level of these people must be supported by a big force behind them. But who on earth has the guts to openly oppose Pu Yu?
"Prepare for battle!" the captain whispered, "Protect Lord Asano!"
The soldiers quickly lined up and stared nervously at the black-clad men on the opposite side. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if a fierce battle would break out in the next second.
Asanogawa looked at the man in black opposite him, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"With just a few hundred of you," he said disdainfully, "you dare to ambush me? I have more than 3,000 soldiers under my command. You are courting death."
Just as he finished speaking, the window of a roadside house was pushed open, and Fujita Ying stared at Asanogawa coldly.
"Asanogawa," Fujita Ying's voice was as chilling as the wind, "We have a lot of people, enough to take down your regiment."
Asanogawa looked up at the window, a cold light flashing in his eyes. This young master of the Fujita family actually dared to openly oppose the unpolished jade.
"Fujita Ying," Asanogawa said coldly, "you are digging your own grave."
“No,” Fujita Ying shook his head, “You pushed me to this point.”
He looked at Asanogawa with a sharp gaze: "You know very well that I am not the so-called mastermind. But you insist on putting all the blame on me."
Asanogawa's face turned gloomy. In order to appease the public anger, Pu Yu did put all the blame on the Fujita family. But he knew that things were far from as simple as they seemed.
"Do you think you can clear yourself this way?" Asanogawa asked coldly.
"I don't need to clear myself of anything," Fujita Ying said calmly, "I just want you to know the consequences of pushing people too far."
Just as Asanogawa and Fujita Taka were confronting each other, the window of another house opened quietly.
A figure quietly raised his rifle. This intelligence elite from China's Kyoto Operations Department calmly aimed at the target.
"boom!"
The crisp sound of gunfire broke the tense atmosphere.
The guards beside Asanogawa fell to the ground, and their uniforms instantly stained red with blood.
"Enemy attack!"
"Protect Lord Asano!"
“Fire! Fire!”
As if it was a signal, fierce gunfire broke out in the street. The men in black raised their weapons and poured fire on the 24th Regiment. The sound of light machine guns, the roar of heavy machine guns, and the roar of mortars intertwined.
"Cover!" the wing commander yelled, "Find cover!"
The soldiers looked for cover, but the situation on the street was extremely unfavorable to them. There were roadblocks in front of them, blockades behind them, and the houses on both sides became the enemy's firing points.
After being escorted to a bunker by the soldiers, Asanogawa's face was terribly gloomy. This ambush was obviously carefully planned, and every detail was considered.
The battle escalated into a street fight in an instant. Gunshots, explosions, and screams echoed in Changsu Street, and gun smoke filled the air.
This battle has just begun.
