Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Chapter 559: Disagreement among the Devils

When the Japanese heard the shouts, they all turned around and bowed to Xia Chuan and the second-in-command.

Xia Chuan and Erdang came over first and asked, "What happened?"

The team leader who led the team first immediately reported the situation.

"What did you say?" Xia Chuanhe'er's face changed drastically in shock. He immediately rushed into a tent nearby to check the situation.

Immediately, several officers and soldiers followed in with flashlights.

Xia Chuan and Er squatted beside a Japanese corpse to check. There were a total of 12 Japanese soldiers in the tent, all of whom were lying on the ground without a breath.

He lost his voice and said, "What on earth is going on?"

The squad leader stood up and said, "Sir, after hearing the gunshots, I immediately rushed over with a few soldiers, but when we entered the tent, we found that everyone was dead, and we didn't see the murderer!"

"Several people in tent 16 were killed by blades. The causes of death for the others are currently unknown. The causes of death for the soldiers in other tents have not yet been determined. There are no wounds on their bodies!"

Takakura Shiro's face turned pale as he said, "16 tents, nearly 200 people, all dead? Were they murdered, or was there some other cause of death? Investigate immediately, immediately!"

At this time, Fujiwara Kousuke walked in from outside the tent and said, "No need to check, they were all killed. I just saw more than a dozen bodies, and they all died by having their necks broken!"

"Also, every tent where the dead were found had been slashed with a sharp knife from the outside. This clearly proves that the enemy has sneaked into our camp, breaking the soldiers' necks while they slept by separating the tent cloths at night!"

"I'm certain this must be a master who is well versed in concealment, stealth, assassination, and the human body. He was able to snap the necks of nearly two hundred people, killing them one by one. This is definitely not something an ordinary person can do!"

At this time, a panicked shout came from outside: "Oh no, oh no, everyone in the east and west defense positions has been killed!"

Hearing this shout, everyone's face changed.

Takakura Shiro immediately said: "Let's go and check out the eastern defense position!"

"Wait a minute!" Xia Chuanhe Er called out to him, his face heavy with worry. "Takakura-kun, all signs indicate the enemy is right beside us, ready to launch a surprise attack on the rest of us at any moment. We can't give the enemy a chance to defeat us one by one, and we can't leave any loopholes for them!"

"So what do you think?" asked Shiro Takakura.

Xia Chuanheer said, "Send a small team to guard the surrounding area, and tell all other troops to gather immediately. We must concentrate our forces, shrink the defense circle, and not give the enemy any chance to exploit us!"

"Yoshi, I agree with Natsukawa-kun's suggestion. Immediately give the order for everyone to gather together. We just need to guard the innermost defense circle!" said Fujiwara Kousuke.

So the three of them gave orders together, asking all their men to come and gather.

Ten minutes later, the situation at the gathering made Xia Chuan and the second person realize that the situation was completely out of their control. The strength of three squadrons and an artillery squadron was reduced to less than 200 people.

Panic spread rapidly among the soldiers, and many people became nervous because of fear. The death toll exceeded two-thirds, but they had not seen the enemy so far.

Seeing this, Xia Chuanhe Er knew they couldn't let this panic spread any further, so he shouted, "Don't be afraid, everyone! The enemy doesn't dare to fight us head-on, but only hides in the shadows to launch sneak attacks and assassinations. This shows that he is also afraid of death and can be killed!"

"From now on, we'll be in groups of five. Don't separate. Even to go to the bathroom, we have to stay together. There's less than an hour left until dawn. All of us must hold the innermost line of defense and hold on until dawn!"

"As long as we hold on until daybreak, the enemy will be unable to hide. They will either retreat quietly or be exposed to our sight!"

After being encouraged by Xia Chuan and Er, the remaining less than 200 Japanese soldiers felt a glimmer of hope, and then redeployed their defenses under the command of the three squadron leaders, leaving no blind spots.

When everything was deployed, the three squadron leaders returned to the carriage command post.

Takakura Shiro plopped down on his chair, sweat beads on his forehead, and said palely, "This enemy is too terrifying. Is he really just one person? Could it be that he's not a human, but a monster?"

Xia Chuan and Er Da said angrily, "Takakura-kun, you are the squadron leader and have received modern military education. Is it appropriate for you to say such things? And don't you think that saying such things at this time will seriously damage morale?"

Takakura Shiro pursed his lips and said nothing more.

At this time, Fujiwara Kousuke said, "At a time like this, Takakura-kun really shouldn't say something that would damage morale. However, there are only three of us here, so I do think it's possible that Takakura-kun guessed that the other party was a monster!"

"What do you mean?" Xia Chuanhe asked with a frown.

Fujiwara Kousuke said, "I calculated the number of people gathered and the number of corpses, and there is still a gap of more than a hundred people. If that thing is a man-eating monster, it makes sense!"

Xia Chuanhe shook his head: "No, no, no, this doesn't mean the murderer is a monster. He killed so many of us, you all saw it, most of the bodies had no wounds, their necks were broken artificially. If he was a monster, how could he use such a method to kill people?"

"My opinion is that the murderer is one person, and a very cunning one at that!"

"What puzzles me is that with our defenses, not even a mosquito can fly in, so how did this person sneak into our camp so quietly?"

Takakura Shiro wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Natsukawa-kun, Fujiwara-kun, things have gotten out of our control. We can't just go look for the special envoys and their group, and we have to worry about our own safety. We must tell the battalion headquarters and the regiment headquarters, and even higher-ups, what's happening here and ask them for tactical guidance. It's difficult for us to deal with this hidden enemy on our own!"

Xia Chuanhe said: "The signalmen have been sent out, and now we can only wait for instructions."

Takakura Shiro said anxiously, "But given our current situation, we're not sure if we can get the order from the battalion and wing headquarters. I'm worried that before the signalman brings back the new order, all of us will be dead!"

Xiachuan Heer was very dissatisfied with Takakura Shiro being so scared. He frowned and said, "What do you want to do, Takakura-kun?"

"Of course we should retreat back to the city! We have no support in this wilderness, but if we retreat back to the city, even if the enemy follows us into the city, we can use the terrain inside the city to deal with him!"
