Chapter 112 Article 1
The old hunter's place was nice, but now, in the dark, Bai Luo couldn't make out the surrounding terrain at all.
Helpless, Bai Luo had no choice but to spend 200 points to locate the old hunter's position.
But the location shown next left Bai Luo speechless; the old hunter's location was actually inside Pingcheng.
It's just not in the west of the city, but in the north.
As for why the old hunter is still in the city, Bai Luo said he didn't know.
But then I suddenly remembered that the old hunter had casually mentioned that his daughter was married in Pingcheng, and now it's almost Chinese New Year.
Bai Luo "..."
Bai Luo was a little annoyed that he had wasted two hundred points.
The nearest place they could hide on the map was a grove of trees to their southwest.
Bai Luo could only hope that the forest was big enough.
While Bai Luo and his two companions were pedaling their bicycles with all their might, Japanese soldiers who heard the commotion near the west of the city also rushed toward the direction where the flares had been fired.
In no time, more than 200 Japanese soldiers had gathered there.
At this moment, a car turned out at the end of the road leading directly to the west gate of Pingcheng and drove quickly toward the west gate.
Two Japanese troop transport vehicles followed behind the car.
Judging from the manner in which they've arrived, it must be a high-ranking Japanese officer.
With a sudden screech of brakes, the lead car came to a stop in front of the West Gate, and two people got out of the back seat as soon as the car came to a complete stop.
The leader was a short man dressed in the uniform of a Japanese colonel, not much taller than Bai Luo now, and sporting the classic Japanese mustache.
His facial features appeared stiff, and his triangular eyes were almost slits as he carefully examined the chaotic scene at the west gate of Pingcheng.
It doesn't look like a good bird at first glance.
The other person was wearing a suit with a woolen overcoat.
Her hair was backcombed, and it looked shiny and oily, probably covered with two or three pounds of hairspray.
Wearing black-rimmed glasses, he was probably a little over 1.6 meters tall, standing out among the group of Japanese soldiers. He had a sinister look in his eyes, thin lips, and a dark complexion.
This bird doesn't look like anything good.
If Zhao Zhonghe were here, he would definitely recognize at a glance that this pretentious man with gelled hair wearing a suit in the freezing cold is his Japanese classmate from his time studying abroad.
Senjou Masakazu, carrying a sergeant's sword in his left hand, strode forward.
The first Japanese soldier to arrive at the scene quickly came to greet him.
It wasn't that he was particularly perceptive; rather, he was the highest-ranking Japanese soldier among those who arrived first.
His squad leader had just been riddled with holes by the bomb in the barracks and died on the spot.
The sergeant following behind the Japanese squad leader fared slightly better, though he was riddled with holes.
However, he died shortly afterward.
He was now the highest-ranking of the remaining Japanese soldiers who knew the cause of the explosion.
What happened here?
Senjou Masakazu looked at the Japanese soldier captain jogging towards him and asked first.
Looking at the fierce-looking Senjou Masakazu, the Japanese sergeant swallowed hard. He steadied himself and spoke loudly.
"Reporting to Colonel, our squad was ordered to patrol the western part of the city. Upon arriving at the west gate, we found that all the guards had been killed."
Moreover, these cunning enemies had tampered with the corpses. Our squad leader and sergeant were unfortunately caught in the crossfire while investigating the scene, and along with more than ten Imperial soldiers, they were all killed.
After the Japanese sergeant finished speaking in one breath, he seemed to remember something and quickly added something else.
"The west gate has also been opened a crack, and the people who attacked the west gate of Pingcheng should have escaped outside the city by now."
After the Japanese soldier finished replenishing his troops, he immediately stood at attention, bowed, and saluted.
At the same time, I secretly hoped that this colonel would have a better temper and that he wouldn't get into a big mess.
"Baka yarou! Have you sent people to chase after them?"
"No...no, we're busy treating wounded Imperial soldiers."
The Japanese soldier was taken aback by what he heard and had a bad feeling, but he still told the truth.
Upon hearing the Japanese captain's words, Senjou Masakazu was so enraged that he kicked the Japanese captain who was blocking his way away, cursing him as a piece of trash, and then couldn't help but kick him twice more.
The surrounding Japanese soldiers looked at their captain, who was lying on the ground curled up, with pity.
After Senjou Masakazu calmed down, he didn't rush to send anyone to chase after them.
Instead, they first went to the city gate and took a look at the chaotic explosion site.
Having served in the military for many years, he was very cautious. He wanted to first look for clues left by the enemy on the bodies of the dead Japanese soldiers to understand the methods the enemy had used to escape the city.
Senjou Masakazu quickly glanced at the explosion site and soon determined that only a high-powered grenade could have caused such a scene.
The bodies of those eight puppet soldiers were blown to a pulp, unrecognizable even to their own mothers.
However, from the two relatively intact corpses, Senjou Masakazu could still tell that the two puppet soldiers had been killed by having their throats slit.
Then he looked at the seven puppet soldiers who had just been carried down from the city wall by the Japanese soldiers.
Of the seven bodies of the puppet soldiers, one had been burned to a crisp, and the other six had all been shot in the head.
"Didn't you hear gunshots while you were on patrol?"
The Japanese soldiers standing nearby looked at each other and then shook their heads in unison, indicating that they hadn't heard anything.
This puzzled Senjou Shoichi, but he didn't have time to think about it further.
After roughly determining the cause of death of the group of puppet soldiers, Senjo Masakazu quickly walked towards the Japanese soldiers' barracks not far away.
At the entrance to the barracks, Senjou Masakazu discovered two Imperial soldiers lying on the ground, their bodies reduced to half a sieve. Judging from their ranks, they were likely a squad leader and a sergeant from a patrol team.
Seeing the horrific state of the two soldiers, Senjou Masakazu gasped inwardly, wondering what kind of bomb had caused these wounds.
Senjou Masakazu was puzzled. As a veteran of more than 10 years in the military, this was the first time he had encountered a bomb that could turn people into sieves.
Senjou Masakazu searched his memory for a long time but couldn't figure out what kind of bomb explosion caused it.
Never mind, we'll just dig it up and see.
Thinking of this, Senjou Masakazu immediately squatted down and carefully examined the wounds on the Japanese squad leader's body, then waved to a Japanese soldier next to him.
Upon seeing this, the Japanese soldier quickly took two steps and walked to Senjou Masakazu's side.
Senjou Masakazu reached out and pulled the bayonet from the Japanese soldier's waist, then began digging into the wound of the Japanese squad leader lying on the ground.
In no time, Senjou Masakazu had a steel ball in his hand.
Senjou Shoichi took a look around under the light of the street lamp.
It's pretty much confirmed why this Japanese squad leader was riddled with holes.
The enemy must have strapped these steel balls to their grenades, which is why the squad leader died such a tragic death.
After figuring out the reason, Senjo Masakazu stepped into the barracks and saw that the Japanese soldiers lying there were mostly dead from having their throats slit.
They guessed that the person who attacked them must be a skilled knife user, and the marks on the blades showed that all the soldiers were killed by one person.
Moreover, the time since death was not long.
After gathering all the information, Senjou Masakazu quickly came out of the barracks and shouted loudly at the Japanese soldiers at the city gate.
"gather!"
