Chapter 940 Another Visit to the Japanese Military Police Headquarters
The screams gradually faded away, and the thick smoke finally dissipated.
On the wasteland, besides Zhang Yunhe standing with his hands hanging down, his armor was stained red with blood, and his sharp wrist blades were still dripping blood. All that remained were corpses scattered all over the ground, as well as a large number of trucks and cannons.
In addition to the bodies of more than 300 Japanese artillerymen, there were also nearly 500 mule and horse carcasses at the scene.
The ammunition boxes were all empty, but the cannons were still intact. Zhang Yunhe put all the trucks and cannons into his backpack. Of course, he couldn't let go of the nearly 500 mule and horse carcasses either, as they were all meat and could be taken to Hong Kong to provide the soldiers with a few meals of meat.
Zhang Yunhe originally didn't plan to kill these mules and horses, since they were an important means of transportation in this era. But then he thought that if he didn't kill them, they would definitely fall into the hands of the Japanese. So he decided to kill them all, rather than let the Japanese get away with it.
In a nearby ditch more than ten meters wide, Zhang Yunhe washed off the blood and grime. When he got ashore, it was already 1:30 a.m.
He ignored the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, leaving them for the other Japanese soldiers to collect.
He walked to the roadside, took out a car from his backpack, and drove towards the city.
Next, Zhang Yunhe decided to go to the Military Police Headquarters to find Sato.
He had always overlooked Sato, and to his surprise, Sato had been secretly supporting Sakata Tadayoshi's investigation of him all along.
He knew very well that solving problems was not about reacting to each move as it came, nor was it about simply blocking whatever came his way. Doing so would only lead to more and more trouble, and it would become increasingly difficult to deal with.
The most effective way is to eliminate the high-ranking Japanese official who gave the order, or even the person in that position. Whoever dares to sit in that position and issue the order to investigate him will die.
As time went on and more people died, naturally no one dared to take that position anymore, and no one dared to issue orders to investigate him.
If the person who occupies that position is afraid of death, they might even actively conceal all information about themselves in order to survive, and they might also outwardly comply with but inwardly defy or perfunctorily obey orders from higher-ups.
Not long after entering the city, Zhang Yunhe discovered a Japanese checkpoint at the intersection ahead. This checkpoint was obviously set up temporarily, indicating that the incident at the Yangjiaxing Military Police Station had caused quite a stir, and the Japanese had already imposed martial law throughout the city.
Thanks to his special pass, Zhang Yunhe was only questioned briefly before being allowed to pass. Of course, if the Japanese soldiers at these checkpoints were to seek their own demise, he would have no choice but to expend some effort to deal with them.
However, this means he'll have even more to do tonight, because there are Japanese checkpoints at every intersection. If he fights his way to the military police headquarters, he probably won't get there until dawn.
With the cover of a special pass, Zhang Yunhe drove all the way to the vicinity of the military police headquarters without encountering any difficulties.
He parked his car on the street near the military police headquarters, got out, looked around, and only put the car back into his backpack when he saw no one was there.
In a dark alley, Zhang Yunhe put on his Ironblood gear again, did a thorough check, and then left the alley to head to the military police headquarters.
The military police headquarters was heavily guarded, much more so than the Tegako headquarters, mainly because Sato was terrified by the horrific scene reported from the Yangjiaxing military police station.
Sato learned that the search party had found the severed heads of Itō Kakubun and Sakata Tadayoshi in the ruins, and determined that the two had been decapitated after the shelling.
The fact that Ghost survived the intense bombardment and even killed Itō Kakubun and Sakata Tadayoshi filled him with extreme fear.
Even inside the military police headquarters, Sato lacked a sense of security, and that feeling was so strong that he transferred another company to guard the military police headquarters.
The military police headquarters now has two companies of guards, with far more light and heavy weapons than usual, something that has never happened before.
Even though the Japanese guarded the military police headquarters so well that not even a fly could get in, it made no difference to Zhang Yunhe whether he increased the number of troops or not.
There is an underground warehouse inside the military police headquarters, which Zhang Yunhe just discovered.
Even if he had used the Ironblood Mask to scan, he wouldn't have been able to discover the underground warehouse, since the Ironblood Mask's scanning function wasn't capable of penetrating more than ten meters of soil to see the underground world.
While scanning the distribution of sentries and patrols within the military police headquarters, he inadvertently noticed several people disappearing one after another inside a building in the scene.
This discovery immediately caught his attention, and he promptly sneaked into the heavily guarded military police headquarters and arrived at the building in the scanned image.
It turned out that this place was originally a military supply warehouse. There were two trucks parked outside the warehouse, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were standing guard around it.
Zhang Yunhe did not act rashly, but instead hid nearby to observe.
Five or six minutes later, some Japanese soldiers carrying ammunition boxes suddenly appeared in the warehouse in the scene.
Zhang Yunhe immediately memorized the location where those Japanese soldiers appeared.
The Japanese soldiers carried ammunition boxes out of the warehouse and loaded the ammunition onto trucks. After several trips, both trucks were full, and the Japanese soldiers on guard outside escorted the two trucks loaded with ammunition away.
Only four Japanese soldiers remained at the entrance. These four soldiers then retreated into the warehouse and prepared to close the two large doors from the inside.
Zhang Yunhe tried to sneak in before the gate closed, but it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as the four Japanese soldiers closed the warehouse gate from the inside.
However, Zhang Yunhe was not in a hurry. When he was scanning the building structure of the warehouse, he found that the fan of one of the ventilation vents was broken. If he could remove the fan of that ventilation vent, he could sneak in through that vent.
His backpack contained plenty of machine disassembly tools. When he climbed into the ventilation duct from the outside and arrived at the broken fan, he took out a wrench and screwdriver from his backpack and unscrewed the screws and nuts securing the fan. After cutting the wires, the broken exhaust fan was also removed.
With a thought, he stored the exhaust fan in his backpack, and the obstacle in front of him disappeared. He immediately crawled forward and quickly reached the exit.
After looking around the warehouse, I didn't see a single person, but I could hear the Japanese soldiers talking.
He climbed out of the ventilation shaft and jumped onto a pile of military supplies inside the warehouse, then carefully stepped onto the ammunition boxes to get to the ground.
Open the 3D virtual image and perform a search scan. The image shows four people sitting at a table near the gate, with their guns placed against the wall.
"I just heard from the sergeant escorting the ammunition that something happened at the Yangjiaxing military police station, and many people died!" the Japanese soldier sitting on the east side said mysteriously.
The Japanese soldier opposite him tossed a peanut into his mouth and hurriedly asked, "Do you know what happened?"
