The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 447: Japanese Army: Release the Military Dogs! Lei Tao: The Japs are Sending Dog Meat

The acrid smoke hadn't yet cleared, but Chen Feiyang and Lei Tao were already sprinting southeastward through it. The midday sun filtered through the treetops, casting dappled shadows on the decaying leaves. Chen Feiyang suddenly grabbed the hem of Lei Tao's shirt and whispered, "Listen! Military dogs!" The rattling of chains echoed in the distance, and the roars of at least three Japanese wolfhounds cut through the cicadas' chirping in the forest. Then came the Japanese commander's furious roar: "Quick! Don't let them get away!" The crunch of dozens of pairs of military boots crushing dead branches startled birds in the dense forest.

Lei Tao quickly pulled two packets of homemade chili powder from the Bagua spinning top and sprinkled them on the grass they would pass through. He then pulled out two booby traps and set them on the winding path. As the two climbed the cliff, they heard a flurry of barking and coughing from below. The military dogs, inhaling the chili powder, shook their heads violently, choking the Japanese soldiers, tears streaming down their cheeks. Curses echoed through the forest. "Damn it! It's a trap! Spread out and search!" the officer's roar was accompanied by the sound of bullets being loaded, as several rounds grazed the cliff face.

Chen Feiyang felt the Scorpion submachine gun at his waist. The metal magazine was empty, and the only spare magazine held only a dozen or so rounds. He looked at Lei Tao solemnly, "Brother Lei, we're out of bullets!" The footsteps of the pursuers were getting closer, and the barking of the military dogs was almost piercing his eardrums.

A gleam of light flashed in Lei Tao's eyes: "It's time to change guns!" He reached into his backpack (from the Bagua gyroscope space) and took out a modified AK47, and whispered: "Go ahead," and threw the gun to Chen Feiyang.

"Lei Tao deftly threw the tactical armed vest to Chen Feiyang, and then took out seven or eight magazine storage bags in succession. His hands flew up and down, and bullets poured into the magazines like water, and in the blink of an eye, the storage bags were all filled. "This gun is sturdy and durable. The three-shot mode can suppress the gun and is suitable for close combat." Lei Tao threw the vest full of ammunition to Chen Feiyang, and took the original Scorpion submachine gun in Chen Feiyang's hand and put it into the Bagua Gyroscope space.

He took out a modified Scorpion submachine gun,

A tactical grip was added to the underside of the barrel, an optical sight was fixed to the Picatinny rail on the side of the gun, and a large-capacity drum magazine was installed in the magazine well, which could hold a full 100 rounds of ammunition. He skillfully screwed the silencer into the muzzle of the gun, and the metal parts made a crisp "click" sound when they bit into each other.

He quickly checked his gun's safety, catching a glimpse of a Japanese helmet swaying a hundred meters away. "Listen to my signal! Wait until they're within twenty meters before we attack." Before he could finish his words, a muffled explosion erupted. Leaves suddenly flew from under a Japanese soldier's feet, and the blast from the booby trap, carrying shrapnel in a fan-shaped pattern, triggered a second booby trap three meters away. The two explosions startled the birds and animals in the forest, sending three Japanese soldiers screaming and falling to the ground. One soldier's helmet was thrown high into the air, drawing a bloody arc.

The surrounding Japanese troops, like startled birds, immediately scattered in battle formation and lay prone, their bullets scattering in all directions. Amidst the dense hail of bullets, the bark of the trees ripped apart, sending wood chips flying. Lei Tao lowered his left hand, gesturing to Chen Feiyang to hold steady. He rested his modified, silenced Scorpion submachine gun against his shoulder, the red dot of the optical sight flickering among the tree trunks. "Hold your breath, wait until they reach the gap in the brush—we must take half of them in the first wave!"

The Japanese commander's roar pierced the smoke: "Suppressive fire! Search for sniper positions!" Seven or eight soldiers shifted forward, providing cover. As their bayonets parted the vines, Chen Feiyang could clearly see the congealed blood stains on their tactical vests. Lei Tao's Adam's apple twitched, and he mouthed a countdown: "Three... Two... One!" The crosshairs of the Scorpion submachine gun in his hand locked onto several Japanese soldiers on his left, and his index finger pulled the trigger. The silenced muzzle emitted a series of muffled "puffs," as the 100-round drum magazine emptied out. The Japanese soldiers, exposed to the gunfire, had barely reacted when a barrage of bullets pierced their chests and throats. Almost simultaneously, several bodies fell backward, slamming heavily against the bullet-riddled tree trunks.

Chen Feiyang immediately pulled the trigger on his AK47. The muzzle shook violently, and bullets fanned out towards the Japanese soldiers on the right. As one soldier raised his gun to fire, a bullet pierced his arm, and a second bullet followed, piercing his forehead. Another soldier tried to hide behind a rock, but was hit in the thigh by three bursts of fire from Chen Feiyang. He collapsed to the ground, wailing.

"They're out in front, left! Release the dogs!" the Japanese commander roared, yanking off the iron chain buckle from his waist. Three Japanese wolfhounds shot out like arrows, their sharp teeth gleaming coldly as they lunged at Chen Feiyang. Lei Tao swiftly swung his rifle, his Scorpion submachine gun raining bullets across the dogs' path. One was struck in the head and fell to the ground, screaming in agony. The other two suddenly turned, sprinting low into the jungle, using the cover of the brush to pounce on Lei Tao from the side.

As Chen Feiyang yelled, "Look out!" the wolfhound on his left had already leaped over the fallen log, a stench of blood lashing his face. Lei Tao rolled sideways, the dog's sharp claws scraping against his tactical vest, leaving four deep scratches in the ground. He raised his rifle to fire, but the bullet struck the tree trunk, sending sparks flying—the wolfhound's speed far exceeded his predictions. Seizing the opportunity, the wolfhound on his right lunged from behind, sending Lei Tao jerking back. Its steel teeth grazed his chin, and its foul saliva dripped onto his neck.

At the critical moment, Chen Feiyang's AK47 bullet pierced the wolf-blue's flank. The beast wailed and collapsed, exposing Chen Feiyang's position. The three Japanese soldiers seized the opportunity, their MP35s blazing at the rock where he had hidden. Finally, the wolf-blue gathered its strength again, lunging at Lei Tao at even greater speed, its bloody jaws clenched as it aimed for his throat.

Lei Tao flung the Scorpion submachine gun behind him and whipped out his tactical dagger with lightning speed. The moment the dogs leaped into the air, he lunged forward, piercing the wolf's jugular with the dagger. Warm blood spurted out. Under the weight of the wolf's massive body, Lei Tao used the momentum to roll free and unsheath the dagger, blood still dripping from the blade. Lei Tao thought to himself, "The Japanese are giving us dog meat!" as he stored the three dogs' bodies in the Bagua spinning top space.

Chen Feiyang took the opportunity to step back, switching his AK47 to burst fire and sweeping towards the densely packed Japanese area. Hot shell casings rained down, blowing off a Japanese soldier's helmet and leaving a deep, bloody gash on his forehead. A Japanese soldier in the rear set up a grenade launcher. Lei Tao immediately locked the sight on the operator's elbow. With a muffled "pop," the metal launcher tumbled to the ground, tilting.

"Spread out and encircle!" the Japanese commander brandished his sword, and the remaining soldiers split into two groups, flanking from either side. Chen Feiyang leaned against a tree to change his magazine. He caught a glimpse of swaying bushes to his right and fired. The bullet pierced through the undergrowth, sending a Japanese soldier's flank into a bloody mess. He stumbled and fell to his comrades.
