Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 1068 The cunning fox

"Hans, take Klaus and retreat." Elantra ordered decisively, "Otto, Victor, set up the MG42 and keep a close eye on this corridor."

Two gunners quickly took their positions, set up heavy machine guns behind the bunker, and aimed the muzzles at the doors on both sides of the corridor.

"The firepower is in place!" Otto reported in a low voice.

Elante nodded. "Team Three, prepare grenades. Team Seven, prepare to charge in."

The special forces quickly divided into two groups, one group was responsible for throwing grenades, and the other group held submachine guns tightly, ready to rush into the room at any time.

"Action!" Elantra gave the order.

Several grenades flew towards the doors on both sides of the corridor at the same time. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Several doors were blown to pieces in the continuous explosions.

The defenders began to fight back, and dense gunfire came from the room. But as soon as they showed their guns, they were suppressed by the firepower of MG42.

"Break in!" Elantra led the charge.

The commandos worked in pairs, quickly clearing each room. The Winchester shotgun exerted terrifying power in close combat, and any defenders who tried to resist were knocked down instantly.

"The first room on the left has been cleared!"

“The two rooms on the right have been cleared!”

"Two wounded soldiers found, treated!"

Battle reports continued to arrive, and the corridor was filled with smoke and the smell of blood. The MG42 was still roaring, ensuring that no defenders could break through.

"Captain," a team member suddenly shouted, "the door of the innermost room is made of steel!"

Elante narrowed his eyes. "Looks like we found the right place. Get ready to blast!"

Demoman Fritz quickly stepped forward and carefully examined the heavy steel door.

“The door is strong,” he whispered, “but there are gaps around the frame where you could place a charge.”

Yilante nodded and said, "Get ready as soon as possible."

Fritz took out the plastic explosive and fuse from his backpack and skillfully inserted the explosive into the gap of the door frame. While doing so, he calculated the impact angle of the explosion to ensure that the door could be blown open without damaging the internal structure.

"Fuze ready," Fritz reported in a low voice. "Thirty seconds to go."

At the same time, other special forces members were scattered on both sides of the corridor, watching the surroundings vigilantly. Otto and Victor's MG42s were still behind the bunker, with the muzzles pointed at any direction where the enemy might appear.

"Stay alert," Elantra reminded in a low voice, "Once the blast is successful, break in immediately."

Time passed by second by second, and the atmosphere in the corridor was extremely tense. Everyone held their breath, waiting for that moment to come.

“Three, two, one…”

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the steel door was blown into pieces in the explosion, and fragments flew everywhere.

"Break in!" Elantra gave an order, and the special forces rushed into the room like tigers descending from the mountains.

When the smoke cleared, an empty study room came into view.

"Damn it!" Elantra gritted his teeth and cursed, "Search thoroughly, don't leave even an inch!"

The special forces members immediately dispersed and carefully checked every corner of the room. Some knocked on the wall to find the secret door, some lifted the carpet to check the floor, and some checked the bookshelves and decorative paintings.

"Captain!" Suddenly, a team member lifted the carpet under the desk and found something unusual. "There's something wrong with the floor here."

Elante walked forward quickly, squatted down and looked carefully. There was an almost invisible crack on the floor, forming a perfect rectangle.

"We found the mechanism." Another team member found a special book on the bookshelf. He pulled it gently and the floor slowly opened.

"Secret Chamber!" Everyone held their breath.

A downward staircase appeared in front of us, and at the end of the staircase was an elevator with an ancient shape.

"This is..." Elantra carefully checked the elevator button, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "a secret passage leading directly to the first floor!"

"Notify Black Fox," he immediately said into the communicator, "Tojo Yuei may have escaped to the first floor through this elevator. Let the people outside immediately block all possible exits!"

"Captain, the elevator is still usable." A team member pressed the button and the elevator door slowly opened.

Elante gave a decisive order: "Team Seven, follow me. The others continue to search this floor to prevent any omissions. Otto, Victor, you stay here and keep watch."

"Yes!" The team members acted quickly.

Elantra led the commandos into the elevator and clenched the MP40 in his hand. He knew that the chase was not over yet. Tojo Yuei was like a cunning old fox, but tonight, he would never let his prey escape.

The elevator door opened, and Elantra led the team out carefully. This was a hidden room on the first floor, and the air was filled with a damp smell.

With the help of the tactical flashlight, they soon found the steel gate in the corner of the room. It was a heavy alloy door with a hydraulic device, which was obviously installed recently.

"Damn it!" Elantra pounded the wall hard, "This cunning guy has already prepared a retreat!"

“Captain,” Fritz said, checking the gate, “this door is stronger than the one upstairs. It’s at least 30 centimeters thick. Judging from its structure, it should be a special steel door used in air-raid shelters.”

Elantra immediately pressed the communicator: "Black Fox, we found an underground passage on the first floor. There is a damn anti-aircraft steel door here. Tojo Yuying may have escaped from here."

"Understood," Black Fox's voice came, "I have already had people start blocking the sewers and underground passages in the surrounding blocks. You continue the pursuit."

“Fritz,” Elant turned to the Demoman, “are you sure you can blow it up?”

Fritz took out the remaining explosives from his backpack and calculated carefully: "Ordinary explosives won't work, but I also brought two pieces of military special explosives. If I detonate them simultaneously at the seam of the door frame, it should be able to blow it open."

“How long will it take?”

"Three minutes to set up the explosives," Fritz began to get busy. "After the detonation, we have to wait for the smoke to clear before we can enter. It will take about five minutes."

"Damn it," Elant gritted his teeth, "I have to waste so much time again."

"Captain," a team member reminded, "this kind of underground passage usually has many branches, and may even lead to other buildings."

"I know," Elant's voice was icy, "but we have no choice. Fritz, start setting up the explosives. The rest of you stand guard, watch the surroundings of the room."

Fritz skillfully stuffed the special explosives into the gap of the door frame and carefully adjusted the fuse. The other team members dispersed and watched the movements around them vigilantly.

"The explosives are deployed," Fritz said, stepping back to a safe distance, "and ready to detonate."

"Everyone retreat," Elantra ordered, "Be careful and protect yourself."

“Three, two, one…”
