Chapter 237 The Japanese Army's Response
Inside the secret passage of the Red Party's underground intelligence agency.
"Grandpa, slow down and watch your step."
Old Yu helped Old Yu walk through the dimly lit underground passage, reminding him from time to time.
"Hmph, don't think you can get away with cursing my grandson just because I said a few nice words."
Old Yu glanced at Old Yu, but by this time his anger had mostly subsided.
"Xiaoyu, right? Do you know anything about Xiaowen's situation? Tell me about Xiaowen's life over the years."
Hearing what Old Yu said, Old Yu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Old Yu had let him off the hook, and quickly said...
“Xiao Yu told me about his past before, and I’ll tell you about it now.”
Without hesitation, Lao Yu recounted all his experiences from the time he met Yu Wen until now, as well as the stories Yu Wen had told him about his past.
Through Lao Yu's narration, Old Yu also learned why his son had been missing for so many years. It turned out that his son had encountered robbers on the road, and his son and daughter-in-law had been killed by gunfire. His grandson, Yu Wen, escaped the robbers' ambush under the cover of his parents.
Yu Wen, who escaped the ordeal, was only 5 years old at the time. In this unfamiliar environment, he had no relatives or friends. Just when he was about to freeze to death, he was rescued by the battalion commander of a passing warlord army.
Later, he met a member of the Red Party in the warlord's army. Under his influence, Yu Wen left the warlord's army and officially joined the Red Party. Four years ago, he came to Er City to establish the Er City Underground Intelligence Agency and develop its members.
After hearing this, although he was somewhat prepared, when he finally confirmed that his son had been dead for more than 30 years, he felt as if most of his energy had been drained away.
She looked much older than before.
Looking at Old Yu's expression, Old Yu was also a little worried that Old Yu's body might not be able to withstand it.
He quickly offered words of comfort.
"Grandpa, more than 30 years have passed since then. Besides, you still have your grandson."
As he spoke, Lao Yu pointed with his finger at Yu Wen, who was on the back of the silly bear.
These words immediately pulled Mr. Yu back to his senses from his painful and self-reproachful memories.
His originally cloudy and dull eyes gradually regained their sparkle.
Yes, he also has a grandson.
When Lao Yu saw the change in Yu Lao's expression, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Bai Luo, who was leading the group, was focusing most of his attention on the system's settlement page.
"Battle over. The host has killed 465 Japanese soldiers, including one major, one colonel, and one cyborg, for a total of 29600 points."
"This black-haired monster is quite valuable! 10000 points."
Bai Luo looked at the reward points on the system and couldn't help but sigh.
Around 4 a.m., Bai Luo and his group finally arrived at Lao Yu's new safe house.
This is a former hunter's sanctuary, hidden deep in the mountains and forests. Although it is deserted, it is safe and undisturbed.
It's a good place for Yu Wen to recuperate.
Compared to this place, the Japanese soldiers in Ershi were having a much harder time.
"Boom."
Inside a lavishly decorated, enormous office at the Japanese headquarters in Ershi, a water glass was slammed onto the floor by a Japanese general dressed in his uniform. Seated beside him, Lieutenant General Yamada Kiji, the Japanese chief of staff, remained silent, his brow furrowed.
After venting his frustrations in the last page letter, he gradually calmed down.
"Yamada-kun, the incident at the second basement level of the West City Hospital must not be spread, otherwise the Empire will definitely be targeted by other countries. So we must find the group that bombed the hospital."
"What does the commander intend to do?"
Kiji Yamada also felt that Shin Oda made a good point.
“We have already searched the entire city, and that was immediately after the explosion. Only a few hours have passed since the explosion, so these people definitely haven’t left the city yet. I think we should send more troops to conduct a citywide manhunt and try to find their trail by daybreak.”
"Does the commander mean to deploy a large-scale army into the city?"
"Yes."
Yamada Kiji felt that this was the only way to proceed for now, since the Imperial soldiers in Er City alone could not search the entire city in a short time.
"Alright, then Commander, please prepare..."
"Report."
The adjutant's voice at the door interrupted Yamada Kiji's words. Yamada Kiji frowned, somewhat annoyed at being interrupted, but also afraid of missing any new information, so he spoke up.
"Come in."
Upon hearing the noise, the adjutant at the door immediately went into the office.
"Commander, Chief of Staff, we discovered a secret passage in an abandoned house in the south of the city. After confirmation, this passage leads directly out of the city. Furthermore, several squads of Imperial soldiers we had in the city were also attacked and wiped out."
"Nani?"
On the last page, Shin and Yamada Kiji were greatly surprised upon hearing this.
The letter on the last page and Yamada Kiji exchanged a glance. These guys had even dug a tunnel. This was troublesome.
Yamada Kiji, still somewhat unwilling to give up, stared at his adjutant and pressed him for an answer.
"Are there any signs of use in that tunnel?"
"Yes, there are very clear bear footprints, as well as several human footprints. Judging from the footprints, it was no more than 3 hours after we discovered the passage."
"Bear footprints?"
Yamada Kiji thought he had misheard and asked again.
"Yes."
As the adjutant spoke, he handed several photos to the last page of the letter, and Yamada Kiji also stood up and moved closer to Oda Shin.
Sure enough, the two saw very clear bear footprints in one of the photos.
But they quickly put that aside; their priority now was finding people.
Upon seeing the clearly visible, disordered footsteps on the ground, the last page immediately addressed the adjutant.
"Can we confirm that the group that left the city through the tunnel was the same group that attacked the Special Higher Police Hospital?"
The adjutant nodded.
"The bullets we found in the bodies of the Imperial soldiers attacked in the tunnel are the same type as the bullets found in the hospital. It can be basically confirmed that the group that went through the tunnel were the ones who attacked the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Oda Shin immediately walked to the telephone on his desk.
"Get me to Ershi Airport."
After waiting for about a minute, Oda finally heard something on the other end of the phone.
"Commander, I am Tian Yixiong."
"Immediately dispatch reconnaissance aircraft to search for suspicious persons outside Er City. The distinguishing feature... should be a bear following them. The main search direction should be south of Er City."
"Hi."
After hanging up the phone, Oda Shin turned to his adjutant and spoke.
"Immediately lead men to search along the tunnel exit and find this group as soon as possible. Report back immediately if you find any trace of them; I'll wait here for news."
"Hey, Commander, should we spare them?"
After hearing his adjutant's question, Oda Shin exchanged a glance with Yamada Kiji.
"Keep."
"Hi."
The adjutant immediately turned around and went out to relay Oda's order.
"Commander, I'll go take care of things at the hospital now."
Upon hearing this, Oda Shin nodded to Yamada Kiji.
"Make it clean."
"Hi."
Upon hearing Oda's words, Yamada Kiji quickly got up and headed to the secret hospital in the west of the city.
