They also tried to use them as little as possible.
But in the current situation, they had no choice. All the AKs they had seized were taken out, and they began to exchange fire with the Bronze Tree members outside.
"Die!"
The sudden resistance surprised the Bronze Tree members, but it wasn't unexpected.
"Another grenade!"
Ayato Kirishima was commanding from a high position, and the frontline squad below immediately threw another suppression grenade.
"Fire in the hole!"
The grenade was thrown into the crowd, and then it exploded, splashing a large cloud of mist. It was a special grenade made by Wang Xiaoming. After the mist exploded, unless you didn't expose any skin, you would directly lose your ghoul abilities upon contact.
After losing their ghoul abilities, their combat power plummeted. They couldn't match the ghouls in speed or strength, and as a result, their actions were suppressed by the ghouls again.
"Those bastards have new weapons again!"
"Why are those guys so rich! Damn it!"
"We can't go on like this, let's use that!"
"That's right, let's use that. Since they've provoked so many people, let's wipe them all out!"
The apparent leader angrily rushed into the small box inside, then opened a wooden box and pulled out a launcher.
The RPG7 that Bronze Tree had bought before was stolen by them. This was also the reason why Yamori was so irritable and wanted to take them down. That was the most powerful weapon, and it was stolen!
They had originally planned to use it as a last resort, but now, they couldn't hide it anymore. If they continued to hide it, their own team would be wiped out.
He loaded a rocket into the launcher, shouldered it, and rushed out directly.
"You all die!"
Aiming at the area where the Bronze Tree members were gathered in front, he directly pulled the trigger, and the rocket flew out with a bang.
"RPG!!!!!"
The Bronze Tree members on the front line saw the rocket flying out and immediately shouted, quickly turning around and ducking to avoid the attack.
Boom—
The rocket flew into the center of the crowd, and then exploded, first with a burst of fire and a shockwave, and then a cloud of mist.
"We're done for!"
Members of both squads were affected. Although their bulletproof vests were thick enough, they couldn't withstand the impact of a rocket. The fragments from the rocket explosion easily cut through their clothes, and the bulletproof vests couldn't protect all areas.
As a result, the eight members of these two squads instantly changed from ghouls to ordinary people.
"Fight back, fight back!"
Unlike the people on the other side, although they were also ghouls, they had at least been trained by Wang Xiaoming and still possessed combat abilities. They got up, picked up their guns, and continued to sweep towards the other side. This time, they didn't plan to follow the rules at all, firing wildly. Anyway, there were enough bullets, and they threw grenades inside without any regard for cost.
The ghoul who launched the RPG was shot dead on the spot, and the remaining people were blown into a state of helplessness by the grenades.
When the besieged ghouls focused their attention on the front, the first squad on the flank also began to launch a sneak attack, and the fifth squad also began to attack from a high position.
This time, the firepower poured in from three directions, greatly increasing the area of attack.
The forty-plus ghouls couldn't resist such a three-sided attack at all. They usually rushed forward in a swarm when fighting, and never considered occupying high ground or flanking from the side.
They could have learned these simple techniques from playing a few rounds of team-based battle royale games, but they didn't know any of them. It could even be said that it was lucky that these ghouls weren't illiterate after growing up.
In the end, after paying the price of three squad members being hit and turned into ordinary people, the twenty-member special squad of Bronze Tree finally killed these forty-plus ghouls. None of them surrendered, so they were all killed.
It was normal for ghouls to kill each other, and they didn't feel anything about it. Since these forty-plus ghouls weren't members of their Bronze Tree, they were dead.
It was strange that everyone was a ghoul, but instead of thinking about uniting and developing together, they fought among themselves.
However, it was normal for this to happen. The social system of ghouls was based on the strength of their power. Here, more emphasis was placed on individual power than team power, and they had not received enough education, so individual importance outweighed everything.
"Has the RPG been recovered?"
Ayato Kirishima jumped down from the high ground and asked the team members who were cleaning up the battlefield.
The team member nodded seriously in response.
"Yes, it has been recovered. We didn't know who stole our RPG before, but now we finally know. The launcher is not damaged and can be used. We found seven spare rockets inside, so we can use seven."
"Very good, this is a big harvest!"
Ayato Kirishima nodded in satisfaction.
"What about our losses?"
"One person is seriously injured, seven are slightly injured, and the rest are basically fine."
"The losses are better than expected. The instructor said that it's considered passing if the number of seriously injured people is controlled within one-tenth, and we passed this time."
The team member also nodded, and he was quite happy about passing.
"Let's go, take the seriously injured brother back for treatment, and the rest of the people can simply bandage themselves."
"Yes!"
Everyone cleaned up the battlefield, collected all the usable weapons and ammunition, and then took the injured members back to the back of the two container trucks, preparing to retreat.
However, just as they returned to the container trucks, Instructor Wang Xiaoming jumped out of the carriage and shouted at Ayato Kirishima.
"Why didn't you shoot in that wave just now!"
296. I Really Was Trying to Kite Them
"Why didn't you shoot in that wave just now!"
"Huh?"
"What 'huh'? I'm asking you why you didn't shoot in that wave just now!"
Ayato Kirishima looked confused and pointed at himself.
"Are you talking about me?"
"If I'm not talking about you, who am I talking about? Are you having problems with your thinking? Why didn't you shoot when that RPG came out? There were at least five people around that person, and you had a grenade launcher on you. You could have solved them with just one shot, and the other party wouldn't have been able to use the RPG. Your squad might have even achieved zero casualties."
Wang Xiaoming pointed at Ayato Kirishima's nose and started scolding.
"If you had just fired that one shot, twelve people wouldn't have been hit and turned into ordinary people, and there wouldn't have been a serious injury. What were you thinking at the time!?"
"No, I was watching their rear at the time. Didn't you say I should watch the rear? A few guys in the rear had already climbed over the wall, so I had to keep watching them. What if they ran away."
Ayato Kirishima spread his hands and explained unhappily.
"Besides, didn't you say that as a captain, I have to take charge of the overall situation? There was an RPG in front, but people kept running to the back, how could I keep staring at the front."
"Why would people run to the back? The other side had more than forty people, an absolute advantage in numbers, but they wanted to run away. Have you thought about the reason."
"Of course, it's because our firepower is strong enough, they're afraid, so they want to escape."
"Aren't you very clear about this? How did I teach you before? You're fighting an annihilation battle. To prevent the other party from escaping, when you have fewer people, don't expose all your firepower. Kite the other party, make them feel like they can counterattack, and then gradually fall into the trap, and finally use all your strength to solve them."
"So what about you? Did you kite them?"
"I did kite them."
Ayato Kirishima explained stubbornly.
Wang Xiaoming immediately slapped his thigh.
"Pulling aggro? Your idea of pulling aggro is to start by throwing a grenade, telling them you have even newer weapons? Are you afraid the other side won't know?"
"I... I really was pulling aggro."
"Are you going through a rebellious phase? Can't say anything anymore, can I? You're starting to argue with me, aren't you? Is that how you pull aggro? Grenade at the start, then lose twelve people?"
"We only seriously injured one. According to your requirements, we qualified, right?"
"Losing a ghoul's abilities, what's the difference between that and a serious injury?"
"This..."
Kirishima Ayato couldn't say anything for a moment.
"Kirishima Ayato, you've disappointed me. Tonight's operation is a failure. Go back and reflect on it!"
Wang Xiaoming left those words, turned around, and got into the car, ignoring Kirishima Ayato, who still wanted to say something.
The other team members next to him looked left and right, not knowing what to do, and could only quietly ask Kirishima Ayato.
"Captain, what do we do?"
"What else can we do? Get in the car!"
Kirishima Ayato glared at the other person unhappily, then issued the order for everyone to get in the car.
This operation could be considered a success. They successfully eliminated a gang of more than forty people and retrieved the lost RPG. However, their first mission resulted in the loss of twelve people, turning twelve ghouls into ordinary humans, so it was also considered a failure.
Fortunately, after Wang Xiaoming's training, even if these people have become ordinary humans, they can still participate in operations with those weapons, after all, these weapons greatly reduce the difference between them and ghouls.
Therefore, the team's members remained unchanged.
Wang Xiaoming's reprimand of Kirishima Ayato also had some effect. After this operation was defined as a failure by Wang Xiaoming, he immediately worked harder on training when he returned, and also thoroughly familiarized himself with the action plan Wang Xiaoming had told him before.
When the 3rd Ward cleanup operation came two days later, he still took twenty people with him. This time, not a single ghoul became an ordinary human, and only one team member suffered a minor injury at the end.
After that, they continued to act, clearing out all of the 1st and 2nd Wards as well. Later on, there were no more losses. Kirishima Ayato grew very quickly, and could even solo Draven with a Gragas.
In a week, this team of twenty people, at the cost of fifteen people becoming ordinary humans, successfully cleared the 1st to 4th Wards. The most chaotic area of Tokyo has now become the cleanest area. There is not a single stray ghoul here, nor any other ghoul organizations. All the ghouls that can operate here are ghouls of Aogiri Tree.
Moreover, they will not capture humans, because Aogiri Tree provides them with very sufficient food. They don't need to eat people at all. They only need to go to the cafeteria at the appointed time to receive their daily share.
After all, isn't it easier to get food for survival without having to fight to the death with CCG investigators? Why carry when you can lie down and win?
To ensure a sufficient food supply for his team, Eto even took over several crematoriums in Tokyo. Not only Tokyo, but also several surrounding prefectures, Saitama Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, Gunma Prefecture, all of these prefectures' crematoriums were taken over to obtain food and then transported to Tokyo.
Therefore, Aogiri Tree is now rich and powerful!
Because of Aogiri Tree's cleanup actions, the number of ghouls has decreased sharply, and Aogiri Tree's actions are continuing to spread.
Wang Xiaoming's training of this first team of twenty people had a very good effect, so Aogiri Tree commissioned Wang Xiaoming to continue training more teams.
Wang Xiaoming was too lazy to do it himself, so he directly let Amon train them. Amon had also trained with Wang Xiaoming in the first batch of people, and had enough experience. When training the second batch of people, he was also very skilled. According to Wang Xiaoming's devil training, the second batch of people was trained in a week.
And Aogiri Tree, after Wang Xiaoming and Amon helped train the second batch of people, also had a new idea.
The battle between the CCG and ghouls has been going on for a long time. The CCG has previously captured many ghouls, and those ghouls are all held in special prisons specifically used to hold ghouls.
And now, Aogiri Tree is preparing to find this prison and rescue all the ghouls in those prisons.
Of course, this is Aogiri Tree's surface plan. In fact, Eto's real plan is to turn all the ghouls imprisoned in the prison into ordinary humans. Those ghouls have basically killed many people, and each of them is sentenced to death.
That's right, Eto is planning a big one!
297. What? Americans are here to attack us!
The 23rd Ward, Ghoul Detention Center "Cochlea", this strangely named ghoul prison houses a large number of ghouls captured by the CCG. Low-level ghouls are not qualified to be held here, because low-level ghouls are directly killed by the investigators and are not qualified to enter here.
Those who can be held here are all A-level and above. According to the standards on the sea, you wouldn't even dare to hang around the Grand Line without a 100 million bounty.
If the ghouls here are released, no matter which organization they join, they will become a very powerful force. After all, it took a lot of manpower and resources to capture these ghouls back here. If these people all run out, then the whole of Tokyo will probably be in chaos.
Eto, as a high-level member of Aogiri Tree, issued an order to her subordinates to attack the Ghoul Detention Center "Cochlea" and release the ghouls inside, and then let them join Aogiri Tree.
This was Eto's order, but in fact, Eto had another order behind her, given to her most trusted assistant, Tatara, to kill all the ghouls inside!
For this reason, Wang Xiaoming kindly supported her with a full ten super-large-area smoke grenades, but the smoke released by this smoke grenade is not the so-called obscuring vision, but an inhibitor spray. These sprays will be dispersed in the air, unless you wear a gas mask and are completely covered from head to toe, otherwise you can't escape!
That's right, this time, Eto plans to have Tatara kill all the ghouls in the prison, as well as the ghouls she sent out.
After all, Eto knows best what the composition of the ghouls in Aogiri Tree is. At first, in order to fight against the CCG and other ghouls, Eto needed the power of these people.
But now, the most responsible 1st-4th Wards have been cleared, and the power of these ghouls is no longer important. Eto will directly turn them into ordinary humans. If they still want to stay in Aogiri Tree, then let them continue to stay and continue to act as special operations teams.
If they don't want to, then forget it and let them fend for themselves.
With all the plans ready, Eto let Yakumo Oomori, the hardline representative of Aogiri Tree, lead all the combat squads to attack the Ghoul Detention Center.
And the guards inside the Ghoul Detention Center didn't know anything about this.
Because of the recent gang fights in Tokyo, the CCG has basically had no business during this time, and they don't even dare to patrol at night.
They also didn't expect that human gangs would dare to be so crazy and engage in gang fights in places where ghouls are rampant.
