Afterwards, Wang Zhong and his party returned to the command headquarters located in the warehouse, only to discover a large hole in the external wall before even entering the warehouse compound.
Wang Zhong hurriedly asked the guard at the gate, "Were we shelled? Is the damage extensive?"
The guard chuckled, "Don't worry, General. Three shells fell, but only one hit the warehouse building, and nobody died. Two landed in the courtyard, exploding with great force, but our yard was empty, with nothing but bran in it."
In order to make the disguise more convincing, Wang Zhong had instructed before setting out on reconnaissance that the anti-aircraft battery was placed next to the city council building, which had collapsed by a third, and even the guards at the warehouse were operating undercover. There were only two groups of four guards on the surface, each watching over one of the two main entrances.
