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

Chapter 1080 Death Trap

"The target has broken through and is fleeing to the east." Elantra watched Asanogawa's armored vehicle disappear around the corner, a sneer on his face, "All teams, pay attention, start the pursuit."

"Understood!" came a uniform response from the radio.

Elante quickly issued a series of orders: "First assault group, get in the car and follow immediately. Second assault group, encircle them from the north and cut off their possibility of turning to the Emperor's Palace. Third assault group, detour from the south and block their retreat to the port."

"Sniper Sklin, lead the sniper team to move along the commanding heights and be ready to kill the target at any time."

"Got it." Sklin's calm voice came.

"Captain Nanhe," Elante continued, "ask your men to continue suppressing the remaining troops and not let them return for reinforcements."

"Understood," Nanhe replied in Chinese, "We will keep them here firmly."

The moment the order was given, everyone took action.

The first assault team quickly boarded the military trucks that had been prepared. These trucks disguised as Chamber of Commerce vehicles had extremely superior performance and could easily catch up with Asanogawa's armored vehicles. The special forces on the trucks were all carefully selected elites from the Chinese special forces, and each of them had experienced hundreds of actual combats.

The second and third assault groups passed through the alleys on both sides. They knew the topography of Kyoto very well. Every corner and every path was within their calculations.

Skrein led the sniper team to move quickly. They used rope descent to quickly move between the rooftops of residential buildings. These sharpshooters were equipped with the most advanced sniper rifles, which could kill people from 800 meters away.

"Report!" The leader of the first assault team reported on the radio, "We have found the target and are following them. They seem to want to break out in the direction of the military camp in the eastern suburbs."

"Very good," Elantra sneered, "They are indeed following the route we expected."

There is indeed a military camp in the eastern suburbs, which is an important stronghold of Pu Yu. But Elantra and his men had already calculated this and set up multiple ambushes on the road.

"Sklin," Elant ordered, "prepare to move to point B, which is the best sniper position."

"Roger that," Skrein replied briefly, "Estimated time in five minutes."

"Attention, second assault team," Elant continued to command, "set up a roadblock on Shinmachi Street. The third assault team is ready to launch a surprise attack from the side."

Everything was going on in an orderly manner. This pursuit was part of their careful planning. After the successful decapitation operation at the Prime Minister's Office, Asanogawa became their next target.

"Report!" The second assault team sent a message, "The roadblock has been set up. As soon as the target arrives, they will definitely slow down."

"Very good," Elante's voice became colder, "The moment they slow down, that's when we launch our general attack."

He looked at his pocket watch, and the sneer on his face deepened. Asanogawa thought he had escaped the encirclement, but he didn't know that he was entering a bigger trap.

"Everyone, pay attention," Elante ordered at last, "This operation must succeed. Pu Yu's second-in-command must not be allowed to leave Kyoto alive."

There was a uniform response from the radio. Everyone knew that this was a life-and-death pursuit. And they had already prepared a perfect death trap for Asanogawa.

"The target is slowing down!" The leader of the first assault team reported in a low voice, "They have encountered a roadblock."

Elantra's eyes narrowed: "Let's take action."

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the truck at the front of the Asanogawa convoy was directly hit by a Panzerfaust rocket. The flames of the explosion shot up into the sky, and the truck was instantly overturned, with burning debris flying everywhere.

"Snipers in position!" Skrein's voice rang over the radio. He and another sniper had already occupied the best shooting range of two residential buildings.

"Start calling the roll!" Elantra ordered.

"boom!"

There was a crisp gunshot, and an officer who was about to jump off the armored vehicle fell to the ground with his head exploded.

"boom!"

There was another noise, and another lieutenant who was trying to organize a defense fell in a pool of blood.

The two snipers took turns shooting, specifically targeting officers and heavy gunners. Each shot could take a life, with terrifying accuracy.

"Assault team, go!" Elantra gave the order.

Twelve assaulters rushed out from the bunkers on both sides like ghosts. They were divided into four groups of three people each, and their movements were so fast that it was dazzling.

"Crack!"

The bolt of the Winchester M1897 shotgun was pulled, making a chilling sound. This was the standard weapon of the God's Punishment Special Forces, and it had terrifying lethality in close combat.

"Da da da!"

The MP40 submachine gun spewed out flames, and the 9mm bullets poured out like raindrops, beating the soldiers who tried to fight back into pieces. Although the firing rate of the German MP40 was not high, its accuracy was amazing, and it could fire in bursts within 50 meters.

"boom!"

Another Panzerfaust rocket whizzed in, this time hitting an armored personnel carrier directly. The shock wave of the explosion blew away the soldiers on the vehicle, and their limbs and arms were scattered all over the ground.

"Damn it!" Asanogawa roared in the armored vehicle, "Fight back! Fight back!"

But his orders could no longer be delivered. The sniper's roll call tactics were extremely effective, and most of the officers had already fallen in a pool of blood. The soldiers, without command, fell into chaos, some fired blindly on the spot, and others tried to find cover.

The assaulters' attack was like a violent storm. The Winchester shotgun was a one-shot kill at close range, and the dispersion of the lead bullets was enough to knock down several soldiers at the same time. The MP40's bursts blocked all possible retreat routes. The reliability of German weapons was perfectly demonstrated on the battlefield.

"Heavy firepower team, keep hitting!" Elantra ordered, "Don't let them have a chance to breathe!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Iron Fist rockets roared out one after another, destroying the outer vehicles of the Asanogawa convoy one by one. Explosions rang out one after another, flames shot up into the sky, and smoke filled the air.

"Bang! Bang!"

Snipers continued to harvest lives. Any soldier who tried to organize an effective defense would be shot in the head immediately.

The assaulters continued to advance, using alternating cover methods, their movements were neat and tidy. Each tactical move had been trained thousands of times, showing amazing tacit understanding on the battlefield.

"Report!" The assault team leader reported on the radio, "The outer troops have been cleared, and only the core guards near the armored vehicles are left!"

Elante sneered: "Very good, prepare for the final blow."

Asanogawa's convoy was in dire straits. In just a few minutes, more than half of the two elite squadrons were killed. The remaining soldiers were trapped around the armored vehicles, struggling to hold on under the attack of the professional special forces.

This ambush was developing in the direction that Elantra had expected.
