As Michizugawa fired at them, he made a rough count of the enemies outside the building
'Five vehicles, twenty five enemies… no, twenty now. I need to neutralize those gatling guns first!'
As he sprinted, he saw three enemies heading towards the vehicles, to replace the one he shot to use the infernal Gatling guns again. As he pointed his rifle to the three enemy that's headed to the vehicle, he immediately ducked as he was fired upon by the remaining enemies
Ratatatatatatat!!
Pang! Pang! Pang! Pang!
He then crawled while hugging his rifles as he pulled out his teargas. As he crawled, he saw that the ground around him was being hit by bullets and causing sparks to appear. Then, he managed to throw the teargas towards the enemies as a bullet hit him in on his side
Puck!
"Agghh!"
He groaned while gritting his teeth as he continued crawling to the car ahead to take cover. The teargas then started emitting smoke as his enemies started coughing and ran to leave the area. Luckily, the enemies who reached the vehicles with gatling guns were also affected. They didn't manage to fire at him before they jumped and ran while coughing
As the fighting ceased for a moment, he leaned at the car as he checked his wound. He look down as he reach his hand to feel where's the location of the wound. Then, Michizugawa felt the sticky blood on his right side as he located the torn wound just below the ribcage
He grimaced from pain as he pulled out a gauge from his kit and applied it to his wound. It's a touch and go solution because his enemies will not give him the time to get himself fixed. Bullets once again rained on the car that he's hiding
Ratatatatatatat
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Despite the danger that's he's in, Michizugawa still smiled as the enemies got distracted by him
'I really hope they managed to escape now. The wall of the compound is not that tall anyway so they better survive!'
Then, he crawled away from the increasingly deformed car as he entered the smoke again. He crawled towards the smoke to hide him as he headed to the right side of the building. The enemies shouted that he vanished from his hiding spot and started to blindly fired into the smoke
He crawled and crawled while enduring hellish pain from his wound. Bullets also rained into the ground until he managed to reach the concrete gate of the compound. He immediately stood up as he jumped and grabbed the edge of the wall, then proceeded to pull himself up
As he reached the top of the wall, he immediately jumped to the other side
Thud!
"Ggghhh!"
His landing on the ground landed him in a sea of pain, as his bullet wound to his arm bleed again from supporting the impact of his fall, and his side wound started bleeding
Michizugawa gritted his teeth as he waited for a while for the pain to subside. Then, he stood up as he started walking across the road while limping
He looked towards the compound at the other side of the road as he felt all kinds of intense emotions before entering an alleyway. His figure disappeared in the dark streets
…
As they couldn't find the police officer that dared to fight them alone, the enemy leader then said to his subordinates that's still looking for the cop
"That's enough! We have achieved our goal already! We're going back now!"
"Yes leader!"
The enemies all answered at the same time as they headed towards their vehicles. Soon they all leave the compound
…
The fights that happened in other parts of Tokyo reached a similar conclusion to Michizugawa's team that night. Almost one third of police forces perished in the fight that only took five hours to finish
The police forces stormed 60 bases of the enemy groups, only for them to suffer heavy casualties from the appearance of mysterious forces
Of over 900 police officers, over 700 perished and less that 150 plus police officers survived the fight. The people later called the event "The Graveyard Operation". They named it based on the amount of dead police officers that was laid in the cemetery in all over the country in the same day
As that night ends and the sun rises, ambulances can be seen all over the city. Their use this time is not for saving, but collecting the fallen heroes that was littered all over the place
The whole city mourned at the present, but also fear the future
…
"How many did we lose?"
Ivana sat in her chair while looking at the 2nd lieutenant as they counted their losses from the fight last night
4 hours after deploying the Yakuza's forces. The HQ received reports that their men had been all ambushed. Few of them managed to survive from the attacks and managed to contact the HQ about the sudden attack of some mysterious forces. The news immediately reached Ivana's ears as she deployed all of her forces to reinforce and rescue the surviving members
But, before her forces managed to arrive on the battlefield, all of the mysterious forces suddenly retreated. All of them are baffled but decided not to continue to chase them. Nothing is more frightening than the unknown. So, they decided to rescue their members first before retreating
Then, Ivana ordered her troops to send the wounded men to head towards their private hospital where It's also where Ilaya is currently recovering. Then, as the wounded members are currently safe, the Yakuza proceeded to collect their dead members to give them a proper burial
Ivana personally supervised the cremation of the members. Of the 500 members who took part in the operation, only 200 members managed to survive. With 40 critically injured, and 100 seriously wounded
She gave a short speech to those members that's with her, as Ivana issued a high alert status on all members of Yakuza. When all of this are done, it's already three in the morning, so they decided to postpone the meeting and to start it tomorrow
Then, as the time hit 7 am. Ivana immediately convened a meeting, and they proceeded
"Boss, we have lost 302 men. We also lost more than 50 of our vehicles. It is safe to say that we really suffered heavy damage"
The 2nd lieutenant gloomily said. Ivana then nodded as she pondered for a bit, before looking at the general manager and asking
"How many is the worth of all we have lost?"
The general manager looked at his paper first before saying
"About 189 million yen boss. And that not including the men who died and the cost of mobilizing our forces"
Ivana nodded again
'Its quite a large sum, but we can recover that much in months. The most painful of our loss are the lives of my men'
Ivana then looked at the 1st lieutenant as she asked
"What about the identity of the mysterious forces that attacked us last night? Have you found any information?"
The 1st lieutenant slowly shook his head
"We didn't managed to find anything about them boss. They appeared like a smoke and vanished like a mist"
As she listened, she was getting increasingly annoyed. A mysterious force attacked them and the police forces at the same time, and it's not the 8 enemy groups that she knows
'Is it possible that a new unknown group had emerge? But that's impossible, those groups will not standby the moment someone wants to take a bite out of their pie's. Then, who was it?'
Ivana picked up her knife as she twirled it around her hand as she think
