OGAWA HAD RETREATED with his men to the last line of defense of the cavern's entrance; one of them had died and two were wounded. The attackers were at the entrance of the cave, on the outside but protected by rocks.
“Professor, evacuate all non-combatants by the tunnel and walk away of this place as much and as fast as possible. We will not resist long.”
McPherson retransmitted the order and proceeded to retire last. At that time the insurgents launched smoke bombs within the cavern, and the gas quickly filled all the space.
“Prepare to fight close range fight.” Said Ogawa.
A deluge of bullets coming from the entrance was in response to his words.
“Here they come.” Shouted the Colonel.
