No idea why he mentions the tunnel now, but the bat is right outside, not through the tunnel. The tunnel will probably kill you without the followup quest.
I loved this quest. I usually circled the area about three times before I felt that was good enough.

Description
As much as I want to exact swift and brutal revenge... I must honor my son's memory first. He cared for his people first and foremost. The Undertaker's Pass goes underground below Northgate River. You must prevent the plague from being deployed while we evacuate our men, women and children to Aderic's Repose. We captured one of the Forsaken's dreaded bombing bats. I want you to fly the infernal beast as best you can and unleash hell upon those who seek to bring the Plague to our people. Hurry!
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Vengeance or Survival
Tell Greymane that we have trackers on Sylvanas and tell him about the Plague. The decision will be his. Launch an all out attack against the leader of the Forsaken or try to evacuate our survivors.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Knee-Deep
It's time to pack it in, <name>. Most of our people have made it through -- it's your turn now. Take this torch, you're going to need it. The tunnel is full of nasty, knee-biting critters of the worst kind. Use it to keep them at bay. Speak to Krennan on the other side.
