Chapter 250 Ambush
As the Fifth Squad continued to move forward, other squads and the main force encountered the same situation.
The closer to the city, the more messy the shops are, and the ordinary people found in residential buildings are mostly widowed elderly people.
This news was passed back to the combat command, which notified the administrative units and asked them to immediately send people to deal with the aftermath and find out as soon as possible why only the elderly, the weak and the disabled were left alone at home in Shinjuku District.
In the Tanaka Building, Taisha Ichiro was also busy arranging the actions of the men in black robes.
After learning that the Guard would launch a siege operation today, the Tanaka Group withdrew its defense line. All the black-robed men and members of the Tanaka Group, as well as the population resources and materials they plundered, were arranged near the defense shield.
As for the game cabins that store the "human computer", they are all within the defense shield. This is the Tanaka Group's trump card to compete with the guard team , and there is no room for any mistakes.
"Make arrangements. All members of the Tanaka Group who have not yet been injected with the blue serum should retreat into the defensive shield. All the black-robed men should build buildings near the shield and prepare to meet the enemy!"
This was the deployment made by Taisha Ichiro based on the instructions of Tanaka Kame.
Just as Zhang Hao guessed, the number of black-robed men that the Tanaka Group can control now is only about four to five thousand. Among them, more than one thousand are black-robed men who have been trained from the beginning, and the rest are young and middle-aged people selected after taking control of the Shinjuku district and injected with blue serum. These people, in such a short time, are only enough to make them addicted to drugs. As for combat training, it has been neglected, so their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the older batch of black-robed men.
Even so, as long as their bodies have been transformed , their powerful self-healing abilities and heightened senses still greatly enhance their combat effectiveness.
However, faced with the gap in numbers and equipment, Tanaka Kame could only abandon most of the Shinjuku area and concentrate its forces around the defense shield and guard the area around the Tanaka Building.
The 20,000-strong guard team did not encounter any obstacles along the way, nor did they encounter any black-robed men from the Tanaka Group, except for those residents of Shinjuku district who were forgotten on the outskirts.
Many members of the guard team relaxed, thinking that the Tanaka group had been frightened and hid away, and were completely unable to resist.
Until they saw a light blue protective shield appear before their eyes.
14:15 PM
Because everything went peacefully along the way, the five teams have begun to slowly converge.
When the combat command saw this situation, it didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.
Of course, I was happy that I didn't encounter any resistance from the Tanaka Group along the way.
But the sad thing is that the Tanaka Group's non-resistance made their plan of encirclement and suppression in different directions fail.
More than 20,000 guards gathered a dozen streets outside the Tanaka Building, and the team members could even see the tall buildings of the Tanaka Building.
"You didn't encounter any problems along the way?"
"You don't have any either?"
"What's going on? Are the people in Tanaka's group scared by us and hiding? That's too ridiculous!"
"Impossible! Didn't you see the faint protective shield in front? If the Tanaka Group is scared, they should take the initiative to hand over the method of using this protective shield!"
But now the protective shield is still so real, standing there without any temperature.
This shows that the Tanaka Group has no plans to give up resistance.
"Damn it! Tell me, just bombard him. I don't believe this shield doesn't have a skill CD!"
"If this continues, it looks like we'll have to fight a street fight! Alas! Any street fight is like a meat grinder!"
Everyone knew very well what street fighting meant. The team quieted down and listened to the next action plan.
The team continued to advance. The tanks and armored vehicles broke through the wire fences and other fortifications set up by the Tanaka Group at the intersection. The guards marched quickly behind the armored vehicles.
They looked around and began to get nervous.
Because the wire fence that had just been destroyed clearly told them that one step further inside would be the territory of the Tanaka Group!
Zhang Hao and his team followed the Fifth Squad again and were responsible for protecting the flank safety of the main force on the streets next to the main road.
There are densely packed residential buildings on both sides of the street.
The thoughts emitted by Zhang Hao began to fluctuate, and he had already noticed the black-robed men hiding in the residential buildings on both sides.
These people hid in residential buildings. There were at least twenty or thirty men in black robes on each floor, ready to launch an ambush attack at any time.
If the fifth squad or the main force entered such an ambush, it would be easy for them to lose sight of the consequences and suffer heavy losses.
Zhang Hao immediately told Bu Liangren what he had discovered.
Bu Liangren completely trusted Zhang Hao and ran to tell the captain of the fifth team without asking the reason.
Bu Liangren ran to the squad leader's side and lowered his voice.
"Stop the troops advancing immediately! We have been surrounded by the enemy!"
The captain of the fifth team was startled and quickly glanced at the residential buildings on both sides. Apart from the rustling sound of the green plants in the breeze, he didn't find anything unusual.
"Is your information accurate?" The captain of the fifth team was skeptical.
They advanced all the way from the outskirts of Shinjuku District, passing by too many residential buildings like this. At first, they searched them one by one, but there were no dangerous factors. In addition, the closer they got to the city center, the more widowed elderly people they saw in the residential buildings. The guards gradually relaxed their vigilance and omitted unnecessary inspections...
Hearing the squad leader's question, Bu Liangren immediately replied: "It was my friend's intuition, and there was no figure flashing in the buildings on both sides. Don't you think it's too strange?
Besides, the wire fence at the street entrance just now clearly shows that we have entered the area actually controlled by the Tanaka Group!"
The captain of the fifth squad knew very well that they had entered the area controlled by the Tanaka Group, but at this moment he did not want to send more troops to search the buildings on both sides. He wanted to maintain the troops to deal with possible conflicts at any time.
"If we are really ambushed, stopping now will probably only force the enemy to attack! So I don't agree with splitting up our forces to search the buildings!"
When Bu Liang heard what the other party said, he became anxious.
"Then we should pass this message on and inform the other four teams so that they can be prepared to respond at any time!"
The captain of the fifth squad snorted, "Marching and fighting don't rely on directness. You have to act with all your might. If I spread the news of the ambush, it will only shake everyone's confidence!"
Bu Liangren was speechless for a moment. What the other party said did make sense.
At this time, Zhang Hao came over and said directly: "If we don't act now, it may be too late. My intuition has always been accurate."
Even if the other party didn't believe it, Zhang Hao didn't want to expose the fact that he had used his mind to detect that the black-robed men were ambushing in the buildings on both sides.
The captain of the fifth squad glanced at Zhang Hao and snorted again: "It's not your turn to worry about the army's affairs!"
