Chapter 631: Hurry up, we must stop the Japanese before they reach the field hospital!
"Hirata-kun, your proposal is too dangerous. Bacteriological weapons are different from other weapons. They may accidentally injure our own people. My special forces team is an elite team that has been trained with great difficulty. We must not let them carry out such a risky mission. Otherwise, if someone is infected with the plague, it will bring about a series of chain reactions. I am afraid that by then, even we will not be spared!"
"According to the intelligence we have obtained, more than 3000 people in Ping'an County have been infected with the plague. This shows how brutal this plague is. I agree with Lieutenant General Imai's proposal. Before the situation is completely clear, we must not act on our own. Otherwise, it will undermine Lieutenant General Imai's plan and cause further disturbances in the future war."
Yamamoto Ikki felt that Hirata Kojiro was completely overwhelmed by the fear in his heart and could not make the right judgment. He hoped to pull the five people out of their fear and anxiety by giving them a lesson. However, Hirata Kojiro and others did not appreciate it at all. They felt that Yamamoto Ikki was deliberately refusing, which made them very angry. The discussion ended unhappily.
In order to avoid the fact that they had betrayed information being made public by Li Yunlong, Hirata Kojiro and four others secretly gathered together to discuss how to break the current deadlock.
"Hirata-kun, Yamamoto Ikki has been drifting away from us. He was not involved in the last incident. Once the truth comes out, he will not be affected at all. He might even add insult to injury. You know, his special forces are money-eating beasts and need a lot of money to maintain."
"We have to give him 20 yuan every month, which is not a small amount of money. At the critical moment, we asked him to handle it, but he was very impatient. I suspect he has already changed his mind."
"It is too difficult to get rid of him. It is impossible to do it with our current strength. Not to mention that Yamamoto Ikki is an expert in special operations. I am afraid that he will find us before we make any move."
"The only force we can really mobilize is the Second Special Forces. This is a special force we established ourselves. Although it has a small number of personnel, only more than 300 people, it can still achieve miraculous results at critical moments."
"I suggest sending a squadron of special forces to open the gap. I will contact several officers who have a good relationship with our Mitsui family and ask them to assist. As long as we build up momentum, Lieutenant General Imai will have to accept it no matter how reluctant he is, otherwise the angry soldiers will tear him to pieces!" Mitsui Taro said in a fierce tone.
Ichiro Nakamura was the first to express his support, and agreed with a gloomy face: "We have been forced into a corner now. It can be said that there is no way to retreat. We must kill Li Yunlong as soon as possible and never let him open his mouth. As long as the two sides start exchanging fire, even if Li Yunlong betrays us, no one will believe it. They will only think that Li Yunlong is desperate and wants to drag others down with him!"
"Although there will definitely be some people who will notice something is wrong and become suspicious of us, as long as we can't find any evidence, our safety will be guaranteed. With the connections we have, we can easily get away with it."
"Lieutenant General Imai's plan sounds fine, achieving the greatest results at the lowest cost, but he forgot the most important point, which is that we have deployed biological weapons many times in the Zhaojiayu base, and Li Yunlong has enough experience to deal with this. I estimate that Lieutenant General Imai's wish will soon be dashed. We are also helping Lieutenant General Imai to face reality. We are doing a good thing, and everything is for the empire's holy war!"
As the protagonist who planned this operation, Hirata Kojiro would never back down at this time. He said in a firm tone: "Like what Nakamura said, we have no way out. We must let the two sides fight as soon as possible. Only in this way can we be safer."
In fact, Ichiro Kuroki and Ichiro Kurofuji did not have much say, and their opinions were not important, but on this crucial issue, they did not dare to back down and stood up to express their support.
The five people who reached an agreement immediately began to discuss the details of the action. After two hours of discussion, they finally developed a detailed action plan. The person in charge of executing this operation was Kurofuji Ichiro. He led a squadron of special agents to open a gap in the northern part of the city and lead the large force to take down the northern city gate.
Yamamoto Ikki thought that after his persuasion, Hirata Kojiro and the others had given up, but he never dreamed that Hirata Kojiro and the others had already planned the action for tonight, and the time of the action was to launch a surprise attack at two o'clock in the morning, when people were most tired and sleepy.
The personnel and weapons arrived in place quickly, and no sound was made in the silent night. It must be said that the Japanese special forces team was well-deserved of their reputation. Even the Japanese themselves were not alarmed, which made the plan go extremely smoothly.
Because there were so many people infected with the plague, Li Yunlong had to weaken the defense of the outer positions, causing loopholes in the originally tight defense. Kurofuji Ichiro seized the opportunity and launched a surprise attack while everyone was resting, catching the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment off guard. A 50-meter gap appeared in the first line of defense.
"Shimazu-kun, you will immediately take over the second and third squads to launch a surprise attack on the second line of defense and open a gap as soon as possible. I will lead the first squad to guard the gap and support the large force in the rear."
"The sound of gunfire has alerted the enemy in Ping'an County. It is estimated that reinforcements will arrive in a quarter of an hour at most. We only have ten minutes left. We must complete the breakthrough at all costs!"
Under the order of Kurofuji Ichiro, Shimazu Minamiichi immediately led the second and third special agent teams to launch a strong attack on the second line of defense. They completed the breakthrough in less than five minutes, and then rushed to the third line of defense. This time it took a little longer, and it took a full seven minutes to complete the breakthrough. Then they launched another strong attack on the north gate.
The Fourth Battalion of the Independent Regiment, which was responsible for guarding the north gate, immediately launched a fierce counterattack. The two sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire. For a while, the entire Ping'an County was in an uproar. Even Li Yunlong did not expect that the Japanese could break through three lines of defense and directly reach the gate of Ping'an County. This was completely out of the question!
Upon hearing the news, Li Yunlong cursed loudly in the command center. He had never expected that the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment would drop to this extent, but being angry would not solve the problem. He immediately ordered the Fifth Battalion to rush to the North Gate for support. You must know that there is a field hospital in the North Gate area with a large number of patients. Once the Japanese broke into the field hospital, the consequences would be really disastrous.
Li Yunlong had just completed the troop mobilization and sent out reinforcements, but the Fourth Battalion called to report that the city gate had been lost and a Japanese squad had entered the city. This made Li Yunlong unable to sit still any longer, and he immediately gathered the soldiers of the guard company and rushed to the north gate for support.
"Hurry up, everyone. If it's any later, the field hospital will be occupied by the Japs. The damn Japs are so damn fast, it's completely beyond my expectation. These damn Japs are definitely not ordinary Japs. They are very likely our old rivals, the Yamamoto Special Forces. Be careful, don't rush forward stupidly. The firepower of the Yamamoto Special Forces is not weaker than ours. Don't be used as a sitting duck as soon as you go up!"
Li Yunlong kept muttering to himself while asking the telegraph operator to contact Lin Zhenhua, but for some reason he couldn't get through, which made him even more worried.
Lin Zhenhua was staying in the field hospital at this time, treating patients infected with the plague. Suddenly, a burst of gunfire was heard in the distance. He immediately became alert and ordered the Second Guard Company, which was responsible for protecting the safety of the hospital, to prepare for battle.
"Captain Zheng, you must protect the doctors and the wounded. You must not let the Japanese rush in. I have just urgently contacted the transport battalion. They are on their way. It will take at most 20 minutes to deliver the weapons and ammunition. No matter what, you are only the second company and you must hold on for 20 minutes to guard the safety of the field hospital before the reinforcements arrive!"
As they were talking, Shimazu Taro rushed over with the third team of special agents and launched a direct attack on the field hospital. A fierce exchange of fire began between the enemy and our side.
"Bagayalu! The enemy's firepower is very fierce and their resistance is very tenacious, but their numbers are small. We are very likely to have encountered the enemy's guard unit, and there must be a big fish among them. The first team is responsible for fire cover and knocking out the enemy's firepower points with grenade launchers. The second team is responsible for the assault, and the third team is responsible for assisting. We must break into the building in front of us within ten minutes."
Shimazu Taro's judgment was very accurate. There was indeed a big fish in there. If he could catch it, he would definitely be promoted three levels. Under the desperate attack of the Japanese special forces, the Second Guard Company suffered heavy losses. There were too many places that needed to be defended. Shimazu Taro soon broke through the defense line and entered the field hospital.
The dim light of the oil lamp made Shimazu Taro misjudge. He led his men to shoot fiercely in the direction of the fire, killing and injuring hundreds of patients infected with the plague. Hearing the screams from time to time, Shimazu Taro felt a little scared. He shone the flashlight and didn't feel scared when he saw the hellish scene in front of him. But when he saw the countless beds behind him, he felt real fear and uneasiness.
"Bagayalu! We have come to the wrong place. This is the enemy's field hospital. There are a large number of patients infected with the plague. Put on your gas masks immediately and evacuate this place!"
