Chapter 209 Who is the hunter and who is the prey?
At this moment, Wu Shiyu was anxious and restless. He sat on the sandbags at the machine gun position, smoking incessantly, looking worried and distressed. There were piles of cigarette butts on the ground.
The reason was that he heard from another battalion commander that afternoon that the area where he lived had been sealed off by Japanese soldiers. They said that a group of Japanese soldiers had been attacked nearby, and more than 10 Japanese soldiers had been wiped out. The scene was terrible.
However, what reassured Wu Shiyu somewhat was that the very battalion commander who had brought him the message was the one who searched his house. He said that no items in the house had been damaged, and that it was just a formality, so Wu Shiyu shouldn't worry about his home.
Wu Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; it seemed Bai Luo had gone into hiding.
I just don't know if Bai Luo and the others have hidden in the stone chamber or left his house.
Since he couldn't go back himself, he couldn't help but worry about Bai Luo and the others' situation.
Just then, a traitor sat down next to Wu Shiyu.
"Battalion Commander, what's wrong with you today? You look so preoccupied."
Wu Shiyu turned to look at his subordinate sitting next to him.
He chuckled and said.
"Xiao Wu, I'm fine. It's just that with such a big mess in Yuan City this time, I'm a little worried about the safety of the brothers."
As he spoke, Wu Shiyu took out another cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to Xiao Wu, who was looking at him with a worried expression.
At the same time, he lit another one for himself.
"Hey, Battalion Commander, you're worrying unnecessarily. The brothers have already prepared themselves for the worst since they've put on this dog skin uniform. You're just making a fuss over nothing."
"Hey, you little rascal, you've picked up some fancy words now. Do you even know what 'worrying about nothing' means?"
As he spoke, Wu Shiyu slapped Xiao Wu on the shoulder.
However, after Xiao Wu's interruption, Wu Shiyu's mood improved a lot.
After finishing his cigarette with Xiao Wu, Wu Shiyu stood up and stretched. Suddenly, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that someone seemed to be waving at him from the alleyway ahead.
Wu Shiyu looked closely and, upon recognizing the familiar black attire at the alley entrance, his face lit up with joy.
But he quickly regained control of his facial expression and walked around the checkpoint twice as if nothing had happened.
She suddenly bent over and clutched her stomach.
He said this to Xiao Wu, who was chatting and joking with the other subordinates.
"Xiao Wu, I have an upset stomach. Keep an eye on the surroundings. I'm going to take care of this in that alley ahead. Call me if you need anything."
"Yes, Battalion Commander, go ahead."
After seeing Xiao Wu's response, Wu Shiyu pretended to have a stomachache and quickly ran towards the alley where Bai Luo was.
The men behind them also heard their conversation.
Seeing Wu Shiyu's hurried appearance, everyone laughed and teased him, telling him to hurry up and not poop in his pants.
"Xiao Luo, are you alright?"
As soon as Wu Shiyu entered the alley, he saw Bai Luo dressed in all black and immediately asked in a low voice.
“We’re fine, and your family can rest assured. I’ve also taken the head of your enemy, as well as the weapons and documents on your wall. I’ll put them back to you once the Japanese lift the blockade over your area.”
Upon hearing Bai Luo's words, Wu Shiyu waved his hands repeatedly.
"No need. I don't need those weapons and documents anymore. You can burn the documents, but you can keep the weapons. Just leave me Akagi Sanrou's head later."
"By the way, did you kill that Japanese squad this morning?"
Bai Luo nodded helplessly. Who knew that he would be discovered by the Japanese as soon as he stepped out, and they even gave him a password.
Seeing that Wu Shiyu still seemed inclined to press for more information, Bai Luo quickly got straight to the point.
"We'll talk about this later. I came to you because I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Wu Shiyu looked at Bai Luo with an expression that said, "You say it, I'm listening."
"Did the Japanese soldiers take anything from the headquarters' backyard today?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Shiyu answered immediately without hesitation.
"Yes, quite a few. They looked like boxes for storing weapons, but they were all covered with cloth. I don't know exactly what was inside. The Japanese wouldn't let us get close, so I only took a peek from afar."
Bai Luo's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing Wu Shiyu's words.
"Do you know where it was shipped to?"
Wu Shiyu thought about it carefully and said with some uncertainty.
"It should be the Japanese armory, because the trucks that came to pick up these boxes are from an armory. But I can't guarantee they'll take them somewhere else."
Okay, how about I find out tomorrow and let you know? By the way, where are you staying now?
Bai Luo waved his hand and said after hearing Wu Shiyu's words.
"No need, this information is enough. But you need to leave here later."
"Huh? Leave? Why? I can't leave now."
Wu Shiyu didn't understand what Bai Luo meant and asked in confusion.
"Because I'm going to blow this up."
Bai Luo's eyes narrowed to slits as he spoke, and a slight smile played at the corners of his lips.
Seeing this, Wu Shiyu instantly got goosebumps and involuntarily shuddered.
"Exploded? This place is already in ruins, what's the point of exploding it?"
"You do not know?"
Bai Luo looked at Wu Shiyu with some confusion.
"what do you know?"
Wu Shiyu became more and more confused as he listened.
"Didn't you know that there are a lot of Japanese soldiers hiding in the buildings around here?"
Wu Shiyu was taken aback when he heard Bai Luo's words.
He really didn't know that.
He then shook his head at Bai Luo and said.
"I really don't know about this."
Seeing that Wu Shiyu truly didn't know, Bai Luo thought to himself that the Japanese had done a pretty good job of keeping secrets.
"So, Xiao Luo, you're planning to use a bomb to blow up all the Japanese soldiers lying in ambush here?"
Bai Luo nodded.
Wu Shiyu gasped. This child was young, but quite bold.
But Wu Shiyu hesitated, after all, his soldiers were all here.
He might be able to escape, but his men will probably be killed.
Seeing his hesitation, Bai Luo seemed to guess what he was thinking.
"You want to run away with your men? How are you going to explain that to the Japanese, and to your men? Even if you wanted to take them out of the city right now, you couldn't."
"But..."
Bai Luo interrupted Wu Shiyu directly, saying, "..."
"Alright, here's what we'll do. I'll delay the detonation of your bomb by 15 seconds. When you hear the explosion, immediately lead them to the ruins. You know where the Japanese were loading things this morning, so that shouldn't be affected. This is my bottom line. After all, being a dog for the Japanese against our own people is already a death sentence."
After hearing Bai Luo's words, Wu Shiyu gritted his teeth and nodded to Bai Luo.
After Wu Shiyu returned to his checkpoint, he remained on edge. He gathered several of his trusted confidants around him, explaining that he would be taking them on a patrol of the surrounding area.
Meanwhile, Bai Luo also began preparations. To ensure lethality, Bai Luo brought out the tulip-shaped shells to "add fuel" to the Japanese army's firepower.
In less than 20 minutes, Bai Luo had installed modified remote-controlled bombs outside all the houses where Japanese soldiers were hiding.
After everything was ready, Bai Luo returned to the alleyway where she had previously met Wu Shiyu.
He quietly peeked out and made a gesture to Wu Shiyu, who had been staring at them.
Wu Shiyu nodded almost imperceptibly in Bai Luo's direction.
He then shouted to his men around him.
"You guys stay here and keep watch. The rest of you come with me on a patrol so you don't get yelled at by the Japanese later."
Those named were Wu Shiyu's close confidants, and no one else doubted Wu Shiyu's words.
Upon seeing that Wu Shiyu had received his signal, Bai Luo did not hesitate and quickly ran towards the edge of the blast radius.
