Chapter 1079 Breakout
The fighting on the streets has reached a fever pitch.
The Chamber of Commerce Guards led by Fujita Masao launched a fierce attack from the front. These veterans adopted the tactics of small-team assault, with three people in a group and five people in a team, and continued to advance forward using the shelters on both sides of the street. Although the weapons in their hands were retired military equipment, they were extremely well maintained.
"Suppress them!" Masao Fujita commanded his men while holding a Type 99 submachine gun. "Don't give them a chance to breathe!"
The roar of the Type 92 heavy machine guns continued. The Chamber of Commerce guards set up multiple crossfire points to firmly suppress the front position of the Sanhe Regiment. Those young soldiers could not raise their heads at all and could only lie down behind the bunkers.
At the same time, the Mitsui family's guards launched an outflanking attack from the right. This elite force, trained by Mitsui Shou himself, was equipped with the latest weapons and equipment.
"Target, the headquarters of the Sanhe Regiment!" the captain of the Mitsui Guard shouted, "shoot!"
Several Type 92 heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, and dense rain of bullets enveloped the headquarters of the Sanhe Regiment. The tents were riddled with holes, and the communication equipment was smashed to pieces. Several staff officers were killed on the spot, and the blood stained the ground red.
In the residential building on the left, agents from the China Operations Department are launching the most precise attacks.
"Snipers, please take note," Nanhe ordered over the radio, "eliminate officers first."
"Bang! Boom! Boom!"
Clear gunshots rang out one after another. Eight sharpshooters were holding Mosin-Nagant sniper rifles, and every shot could harvest a life. They had received the most rigorous training, and a moving target 300 meters away was an easy target for them.
"Da da da!"
The sound of Czech light machine guns rang through the streets. The firepower team of the Operations Department selected the best firing range and defeated the exposed flank of the Sanhe Regiment.
"Assault team, get ready!" Nanhe continued to command, "Wait until they expose the weakness of their defense line, and then break in immediately!"
The six assaulters held their PPSh submachine guns tightly. They were all good at close combat. Once they broke into the enemy camp, it was their time to show their skills.
The Sanhe Regiment was already wavering under the attack from three sides. The young soldiers had never experienced such a brutal battle, and the increasing casualties caused their morale to collapse.
"Hold on! Hold on!" the platoon commander shouted at the top of his lungs, but to little avail.
At this moment, the 24th Regiment came to reinforce from the rear.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The roar of the grenade launcher was heard, and several grenades whizzed towards the position of the Chamber of Commerce guards.
"Get down!" Fujita Masao yelled.
Explosions continued and smoke filled the air. But the Chamber of Commerce guards quickly adjusted their formation and continued to fight back. These veterans had a lot of battlefield experience, and a few grenades were not enough to shake their morale.
"Hit them!" Fujita Masao roared, "Let these unsophisticated lackeys see how powerful we are!"
The Type 24 heavy machine gun roared again, and the dense rain of bullets made the vanguard of the th Regiment unable to raise their heads.
The Mitsui Guards also quickly adjusted their attack targets. The heavy machine guns they set up on the commanding heights began to sweep the 24th Regiment's deep positions, trying to cut off their reinforcement route.
"Report!" A messenger hurriedly reported to Asanogawa, "We are being attacked from three sides! The firepower of the Chamber of Commerce guards and the Mitsui family is too strong!"
Asanogawa hid behind the armored vehicle with a gloomy face. He originally thought that he could easily suppress these Chamber of Commerce guards with the strength of two regiments, but he did not expect that the other party not only had amazing combat power, but also had the support of the Chinese Operations Department.
"boom!"
A clear gunshot rang out, and an officer from the 24th Regiment fell to the ground. This was the masterpiece of a sniper from the Chinese Operations Department.
"Damn it!" Asanogawa gritted his teeth, "Where did these Chinese agents come from!"
The battle became increasingly fierce. Although the Sanhe and 24th Regiments had the upper hand in numbers, they suffered increasing casualties under the three-sided attack. The combat experience of the Chamber of Commerce guards, the sophisticated equipment of the Mitsui family, and the precise strikes of the Huaguo Operations Department formed a perfect stranglehold.
The smoke-filled streets were filled with the groans of the wounded and the screams of the dying. This battle had far exceeded Asanogawa's expectations.
"Report!" A signalman ran over in a hurry, his face pale, "Lord Asano, I just received news... The Prime Minister... The Prime Minister was assassinated!"
Asanogawa's pupils suddenly contracted. He stared at the signalman and said in a hoarse voice: "Are you sure the news is true?"
"Yes! A telegram just came from the Prime Minister's Office. The Chinese special forces raided the Prime Minister's Office... They used a sudden infiltration method to break through the heavy defenses... The Prime Minister was there... on the spot..."
Asanogawa closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He didn't expect that the Chinese special forces would be so bold as to launch a decapitation operation against the prime minister. Now the workers are rioting, the students are petitioning, the Chamber of Commerce is rebellious, and the prime minister has been assassinated. The situation in Kyoto is completely out of control.
"Bang! Boom! Boom!"
There were several more crisp gunshots, and several officers fell to the ground. The snipers from the Chinese Operations Department continued to harvest lives.
"Da da da!"
The heavy machine gun firepower of the Chamber of Commerce guards was still fierce, suppressing the two regiments to the point where they could not raise their heads.
The Mitsui Guards were constantly shrinking the encirclement. Their tactical moves were clean and neat, and they had obviously been rigorously trained.
Asanogawa looked around, his eyes sharp. He knew that he had to make a decision immediately. Since the Chinese special forces dared to attack the prime minister, it showed that their layout in Kyoto was quite complete. If they continued to tangle like this, when the top leaders of Puyu learned about the assassination of the prime minister, they would probably use him as a scapegoat.
"Pass the order!" Asanogawa suddenly ordered, "The third and fourth squadrons will assemble immediately and prepare to escort me to break out! The other troops will continue to fight and hold back the enemy!"
"Yes!" The messenger immediately went to convey the order.
Soon, the elite of the two squadrons quickly assembled. These were the most elite soldiers in the two regiments, and they were also the best equipped.
"Prepare to break out!" Asanogawa got into the armored vehicle, "Break out to the east!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Grenade launchers began to bombard fiercely to clear the way for the breakout troops. Under the cover of armored vehicles, the soldiers of the two squadrons began to advance eastward.
"Not good!" Fujita Masao discovered Asanogawa's intention, "They are trying to break out! Stop them!"
The Chamber of Commerce guards immediately adjusted their firepower, trying to cut off the breakout route, but the firepower of the two squadrons was too dense and difficult to stop for a while.
“Captain Nanhe!” the leader of Mitsui’s escort called over the radio, “Asanogawa is running!”
Nan He narrowed his eyes and quickly ordered: "All snipers, pay attention, shoot the drivers and gunners of the armored vehicles first! The first group will turn their fire to suppress the breakout troops!"
But Asanogawa was well prepared. The two squadrons used a staggered approach, providing cover in turns, and forcibly opened up a bloody path through the firepower net.
"Keep fighting!" Fujita Masao roared, "We can't let him get away!"
However, it was too late. The armored vehicles, protected by two squadrons, had already broken through the encirclement and disappeared into the streets to the east.
The main force left behind is still fighting. Their mission is to delay the Chamber of Commerce guards and the Chinese Operations Department to buy time for Asanogawa to break out.
“Damn it!” Fujita gritted his teeth, “He let him get away!”
Nanhe's voice sounded on the radio: "Don't pursue. Continue to attack the remaining troops and don't let them leave the battlefield."
The battle was still going on, but Asanogawa had already broken through with two squadrons of elite soldiers. He knew that the situation in Kyoto was irreversible. The most important thing now was to save his own life and wait for new instructions from the top leaders of Puyu.
