Chapter 336 The Japanese Invaders Part 2
"Reporting to Lieutenant Colonel Oda, the wreckage of an Imperial fighter plane, along with supply crates and parachute fragments used for airdropping, has been discovered in a valley 2 kilometers ahead."
Upon hearing this, Oda Sumiki's face lit up with joy.
He thought to himself, "Finally, I've found the right place."
Oda Sekimoto immediately turned to the First Company Commander, Kawashita Yasushi, who was standing beside him, and gave the order.
"Kawashita, you leave a small team to continue searching the area. The rest of you head to the valley ahead."
"Hi."
Upon receiving Oda Sekimoto's order, the company commander of the first company, Kawashita Yasushi, immediately began assembling his troops.
In less than 5 minutes, all the Japanese soldiers of Oda Battalion had assembled.
"You, hurry up and lead the way."
Oda Sekimoto then spoke to the Japanese sergeant who had come to report the news.
"Hi."
After the Japanese sergeant responded, he immediately led the way.
Meanwhile, Wang Yu and the others arrived near the valley.
Upon arriving, they discovered more than a dozen Japanese soldiers searching for something in an open area within the valley.
From time to time, the figures of Japanese soldiers could be seen flashing by in the woods surrounding the valley.
"Captain, there really are Japanese soldiers, and quite a few of them, it looks like there are one or two hundred."
A Red Army soldier standing next to Wang Yu carefully looked him over and then spoke to him.
Wang Yu nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Liu, report the situation here to the secretary. We left too many traces last night. The Japanese will soon be able to find our base through these traces."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Wang Yu's order, Xiao Liu quietly retreated and then quickly ran towards the mountain where the Red Party base was located.
But Xiao Liu had only been gone for a few minutes.
The special forces soldier next to Wang Yu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.
"No, there's more to it. Captain Wang, look at the woods behind the valley."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu immediately raised his binoculars and looked at the woods behind the valley.
But after looking for a long time, Wang Yu found nothing. He put down his binoculars and looked at the special forces soldier with a puzzled look.
Gao Sheng noticed the confusion in Wang Yu's eyes and spoke up again to remind him.
"Look up at the trees."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu raised his binoculars again to observe the area above the trees.
This time, Wang Yu quickly discovered the problem.
From time to time, large flocks of birds could be seen taking flight in the sky above the depths of the forest, clearly indicating that something in the woods had startled them.
"hiss...."
Seeing this, Wang Yu seemed to have guessed something, and turned to look at Goldman Sachs again with a questioning gaze.
Goldman Sachs nodded at Wang Yu after noticing his gaze, confirming Wang Yu's guess.
Wang Yu also realized that things were not so simple.
He spoke to Goldman Sachs.
"Comrade Gao, you have a lot of experience. How many Japanese soldiers do you think are in the woods?"
Upon hearing this, Goldman Sachs raised his Type 97 sniper rifle and carefully examined it again through the 4x scope.
The figure that was reported shocked Wang Yu was astonished.
"There must be at least five hundred Japanese soldiers."
Hearing this, Wang Yu could no longer sit still and immediately spoke to another guerrilla fighter beside him.
"Monkey, go and tell Secretary Wang this news quickly, and tell them to speed up the delivery of supplies and prepare for the enemy. We may be in for a tough battle."
Upon hearing Wang Yu's words, the monkeys nearby turned and ran back to the base.
Meanwhile, in a cave in the Red Party's base area, Xiao Liu ran into the cave, panting heavily.
As soon as Xiao Liu entered the cave, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone waiting for news inside.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?"
Wang Gang immediately asked Xiao Liu, who was still catching his breath.
"Secretary, there are indeed Japanese soldiers in the valley, probably a hundred or two."
"Are you sure?"
Xiao Liu became somewhat unsure after Wang Gang's question. The number of Japanese soldiers was just a rough estimate, and he couldn't be sure if there were any more Japanese soldiers in the woods beyond.
After thinking about this, Xiao Liu told the truth.
"We only saw this much near the valley just now. As for whether there are any more in the woods, we haven't found any yet."
Upon hearing this, Wang Gang frowned. Then, as if remembering something, he immediately turned his gaze to the cave. After scanning around, he finally spotted Bai Luo, who was lying dejectedly on the bear's back in the corner.
Wang Gang walked quickly to Bai Luo.
"Xiao Luo, do you know roughly how many Japanese soldiers there are?"
Bai Luo, lying on the bear's back, spoke without even looking up.
"A Japanese infantry battalion."
"hiss..."
Upon hearing Bai Luo's words, Wang Gang couldn't help but gasp.
Gao Qiang, who was not far away, narrowed his eyes after hearing Bai Luo's words.
However, he did not question Bai Luo's words.
Meanwhile, Bellena looked at Bai Luo with a puzzled expression. In her memory, Bai Luo had not gone to the valley. Bellena was curious as to how Bai Luo had discovered the group of Japanese soldiers.
It can also report the number of Japanese soldiers.
But Bellena didn't ask any questions.
Instead, he sat quietly beside Bai Luo with Maxim and Andrei.
"Captain Gao, Minister Bai isn't here right now, and I've never commanded a battle before. What do you suggest, should we fight or retreat?"
Wang Gang knew his own limitations after hearing Bai Luo's words.
Instead of making any arrangements on their own, they consulted Gao Qiang, who had come with Bai Xiumei.
Upon hearing this, Gao Qiang immediately spoke up.
"We definitely have to withdraw. After all, the commotion last night was quite significant. The Japanese suffered a great loss here and will surely come back to get revenge."
Minister Bai and I anticipated this situation, and last night we transferred most of the received supplies out. With our current numbers, we can take the rest with us.
My suggestion is that all logistics personnel and wounded soldiers who haven't had time to evacuate should be evacuated now. Secretary Wang, you are in charge of the logistics and the evacuation of the wounded.
I'll take my special forces soldiers to meet these Japanese devils from the northern province, give them some trouble, and at the same time buy you some time to evacuate.
Upon hearing this, Wang Gang knew that Gao Qiang must have a plan in mind, and he didn't hesitate.
He immediately agreed to Gao Qiang's arrangement.
Just then, a person suddenly rushed into the cave.
It was the monkey that Wang Yu sent back to deliver the message.
The monkey shouted loudly as soon as it rushed into the cave.
"Secretary, there are more than just one or two hundred Japanese soldiers, at least 500. They should be almost at the valley by now."
Upon hearing the monkey's words, Gao Qiang immediately spoke to Wang Gang.
"Secretary Wang, time is of the essence, so let's proceed as we just discussed."
"it is good."
Wang Gang responded and immediately called Xiao Liu over, instructing him to gather all the logistics personnel into the cave.
Gao Qiang also led more than 100 special forces soldiers and a large amount of explosives toward the valley.
At this moment, only Bai Luo, Bellena, and two Xiong Kingdom pilots remained in the cave, sitting motionless in a corner.
Upon seeing this, Wang Gang immediately walked over to the group.
He said this as he walked.
"Miss Bellena, please come with us and evacuate first, along with these two pilots."
Upon hearing this, Bai Lianna immediately shook her head.
“Secretary Wang, you don’t need to worry about us. Minister Bai arranged for the three of us to follow Xiao Luo before he left.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Gang turned his gaze to Bai Luo, who was lying on the back of the silly bear, lost in thought.
He looked at Bai Luo with a questioning gaze.
Bai Luo nodded in agreement with the three people's words.
Seeing this, Wang Gang was happy to be relieved and turned to walk into the depths of the cave to arrange the evacuation.
