Inside Osaka City!
The Jieke Group's troops marched into the city with great momentum. There weren't many Japanese in the city, and many were still hiding in the countryside, afraid to return.
Nevertheless, Osaka Castle housed a population of millions.
When the Jieke Group entered Osaka City, the expected resistance was pathetically weak.
Originally, Japan had deployed around ten thousand Self-Defense Force soldiers within Osaka City. These soldiers were meant to protect Osaka City from another Sea Monster landing and to guard this important city from attacks.
Additionally, Japan actively recruited militia from the city, picking some strong and young individuals from the populace.
The equipment of these militia was very rudimentary, consisting mainly of light weapons, meant to supplement the insufficient numbers of the Self-Defense Forces.
