Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 1076 New Goals

In the night of Kyoto, more than a dozen reserve squadrons advanced rapidly on the streets. Soldiers were guarding every alley, and every suspicious building was searched.

"Search! Search every room!" Ono stood on the armored vehicle and said in a cold voice, "Those damn special forces are somewhere in Kyoto. If they are dead, we must find them alive!"

At this time, in a safe house of the Mitsui family, Elantra was checking the latest intelligence.

"Captain," the communicator walked over quickly, "new instructions from the superiors."

Elante took the telegram and quickly read it. His eyes gradually became sharper.

"Assemble," he raised his head and said in a low voice, "We have a new mission."

The special forces quickly gathered around him.

"New instructions from the superiors," Elante unfolded the map, "The decapitation targets have been updated - Hong Yuzhang, the head of the Pu Yu Secret Service, and Asanogawa, the second in command of Pu Yu."

"Asanogawa was just ambushed by the Fujita family in Nagasuku Street," Black Fox analyzed, "He is now trapped there, waiting for reinforcements from the Sanhe League."

"This actually gives us an opportunity," Elante pointed at the map, "Asano River is trapped, and Hong Yuzhang will definitely command the suppression operation personally. Their attention is on the riot, and this is our best opportunity."

"We will act in two groups," Elante continued, "The first group will be responsible for Hong Yuzhang, and the second group will find an opportunity to deal with Asanogawa. Remember, once the target is found, behead him immediately. Don't give them any chances."

"Understood," the special forces nodded.

At this moment, the footsteps of the patrol team were heard outside. Everyone immediately held their breath and tightened their weapons. But the footsteps eventually passed by the door and gradually faded away.

"Action!" Elantra whispered.

The special forces quickly split into two groups and disappeared silently into the night. They knew that this would be a thrilling assassination operation. The key to success or failure would be this night.

In the darkness of night, four escort vehicles with the "Fuso Ministry of Finance" logo slowly drove out of the Mitsui family's safe house.

"Are the passes and documents ready?" Elantra asked, sitting in the passenger seat.

"It's all here," Herman from the first team handed over a folder, "The passes and transfer orders forged by the Mitsui family are so flawless that even a rough agent can't find any fault with them."

Yilante nodded and looked through the documents. The passes were stamped with the official seal of the Ministry of Finance, and the transfer orders were printed in the official format, with every detail perfect.

"What's the situation on Changsu Street?" asked Klaus, the second team leader.

"The Fujita family is still in a standoff with Asanogawa," Otto from the third squad replied, "The Sanhe League hasn't arrived yet. This is our best chance."

The convoy moved forward steadily and soon encountered the first checkpoint.

"Stop!" The secret agent stopped the convoy, "Show me your ID!"

Hermann handed over the pass and transfer order: "It's urgent business for the Ministry of Finance. Please let me pass."

The agent carefully checked the documents and shone the flashlight into the carriage: "What are you transporting?"

"Confidential document," Herman said coldly. "It has a Treasury seal. Are you sure you want to check it?"

The agent hesitated for a moment, looked at the seal on the document, and finally waved and let him go: "Go ahead."

As the team continued to move forward, Elantra's eyes became sharper. He knew that the next step was the real challenge.

But in the safe house, Black Fox seemed unusually relaxed.

"Captain," Gru stood at the door of the study, a little anxious, "Shouldn't we take action immediately? Hong Yuzhang..."

"Sit down," Black Fox poured a cup of tea for Gru, "Try this newly arrived jade dew."

Gru took the teacup in confusion: "But..."

"Do you know why I chose to stay here?" Black Fox took a sip of tea with a deep look in his eyes.

Gru shook his head.

"Because Hong Yuzhang must be fidgeting in the headquarters right now," Black Fox put down his teacup, "Asano River is trapped, and riots are happening everywhere. He must be in charge of the command personally."

"But isn't this a good opportunity for us to take action?" Gru was still puzzled.

Black Fox smiled meaningfully: "No, Hong Yuzhang must be on high alert now. He knows that he is the most important target, so he must have deployed heavy troops to guard him."

He stood up and walked to the window: "But when there is news from Asanogawa, when he can't sit still anymore..."

Gru suddenly understood: "You mean..."

"That's right," Black Fox's eyes became sharp, "Once Asano River is attacked, Hong Yuzhang will definitely go out in person. At that time, he will have to leave that impregnable command center."

"And we," Black Fox continued, "are on the road he must pass by, and we have prepared a 'surprise' for him."

Gru suddenly realized: "That's why you are not in a hurry..."

"Plan before you act," Black Fox sat down again and poured himself a cup of tea, "This is my usual style."

He motioned for Gru to sit down: "Come, finish this pot of tea with me. When the tea is cold, it's time for us to get started."

Gru finally understood Black Fox's intention. This was not slacking off, but waiting for the perfect opportunity.

In the study, the aroma of tea wafted in the air. Black Fox sipped his tea calmly, as if he was enjoying a carefully choreographed drama. And he knew that the climax of the drama was about to come.

The escort convoy stopped at the corner of Shinjuku Street. Deafening gunfire sounded from the direction of Nagasuku Street, and gun smoke filled the night sky.

Herman pricked up his ears and carefully analyzed the rhythm and intensity of the gunshots. As an elite member of the God's Punishment Special Forces, he could judge the situation on the battlefield from the gunshots.

"Something is wrong," Hermann frowned. "The heavy machine gun fire has become sporadic, and the mortar bombardment has also decreased significantly. The Fujita family's firepower is weakening."

Klaus nodded in agreement. "And judging from the location of the gunshots, Asanogawa's troops seem to be advancing. They are breaking through the encirclement."

"The Sanhe Regiment should be here," Otto added. "Just now I heard the neat sound of rifle volleys. That is the firing rhythm of a regular army that has undergone rigorous training."

Elante's eyes became sharp. As expected, Asanogawa was worthy of being the second-in-command of the rough diamond, and he was still able to turn the tide of the battle in such an unfavorable situation.

"Captain," William of the fourth team whispered, "If we don't take action now, we will lose our chance when Asano River breaks through."

Elante pondered for a moment and made a quick decision: "Hermann, you lead the first team to encircle from the east. Klaus, the second team will infiltrate from the west. Otto, your third team will be responsible for creating chaos and attracting the attention of the Sanhe League."

"Understood!" the three team leaders answered at the same time.

"As for me," Elantra took out a silenced pistol, "I will lead the Fourth Squad to find the best sniper position. Remember, our target is only Asanogawa. Don't fight to the death, evacuate immediately once the mission is completed."

The four teams moved quickly and disappeared into the night like ghosts. They all knew that this might be their last chance. Once Asano River broke through the encirclement, it would be difficult to find another opportunity to attack.

Elantra led the fourth team to climb to a commanding height.

With the help of moonlight and the fire in the distance, he raised his German binoculars and carefully observed the battle situation on Changsu Street.

The Sanhe Regiment had indeed arrived and was cooperating with the 24th Regiment to launch a fierce attack on the Fujita family's position. At the command position, a figure was giving orders - that was their target, Asanogawa.

"Prepare for action," Elantra ordered softly, "wait for our signal."

In the darkness of the night, the breath of death is quietly approaching.
