Chapter 368: Deadly Pursuit: Fierce Battle on the Highway, the Last Struggle of the Japanese Agents

Chapter 368: Deadly Pursuit: Highway Battle, the Japanese Agent's Final Struggle

On his way to the backup area, Fujiwara Ki called out several Japanese special agents hidden in a room. They all loaded their weapons into a Nissan mid-size sedan. After starting the car, it burst out from the depths of the manor like a mad beast. It aimed its front end at Lei Tao and his men, showing no sign of slowing, determined to crush them. The wheels scraped against the ground, making a sharp, piercing sound and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Everyone reacted instantly, each sprinting in different directions to avoid the attack. Li Shuiniu, with his massive build and incredible strength, pulled the evasive Li Shuyang aside, and the two rolled onto the ground, hiding behind an abandoned concrete pier.

Yi Guang reacted quickly, leaping towards a flower bed on the right, using its edge as cover, his body pressed tightly to the ground. Liu Zishan quickly jumped over the low wall and lay down behind it, sniper rifle tightly gripped in his hand, staring vigilantly at the car rushing towards him.

Lei Tao quickly dove to the left and front. After rolling on the ground, he quickly stood up, leaned his back against a sturdy tree, and stared at every move of the car.

The car rushed straight through the place where everyone had just been like a wild horse. Then, the driver slammed on the brakes, and the tires rubbed violently with the ground, making a sharp and piercing sound, leaving a long black tire mark on the ground.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, the door was flung open. The Japanese agents inside quickly stood up, gripping their MP35 submachine guns with both hands, and leaped from the car in a crouching, combat-like stance. They quickly dispersed, fanning out, half-crouching beside the car, their guns pointed at Lei Tao and the others, their fingers pulling the trigger, and a barrage of bullets rained down.

Seeing this, Lei Tao shouted, "Take cover!" He quickly dove sideways behind a nearby stone pillar, motioning to his teammates to disperse and take cover. Liu Zishan reacted quickly, rolling behind a nearby low wall. He raised his sniper rifle and peered through the scope, searching for an opportunity to strike back. Yi Guang quickly dropped to the ground, using the low spot as cover. He lay prone, his submachine gun tightly gripped in both hands, firing at the Japanese agents to suppress the enemy's firepower.

Back to back, the brothers Li Shuiniu and Li Shuyang quickly moved behind a large tree. Li Shuiniu rested his shotgun against the trunk, roared, and fired at the Japanese agents. The powerful recoil shook his shoulders slightly, but he ignored it and continued to reload and fire. Li Shuyang, using the tree trunk as cover, fired accurately with his pistol, constantly looking for gaps in the Japanese agents' firing to counterattack.

The Japanese agents, their eyes red, pulled the trigger and fired wildly, their muzzles spitting flames, bullets raining down like raindrops, sending dust flying from the ground, and the surrounding trees and walls were hit by wood chips and bricks flying everywhere. But Lei Tao and his men were hiding very well, and the Japanese agents' bullets missed.

Seeing the situation was dire, Fujiwara Kii signaled the Japanese agents to retreat. Under mutual cover, they quickly retreated to the car, opened the door, and ducked inside one by one. The Japanese agent driver had already half-pressed the accelerator, waiting for his companions to board. As soon as the door closed, he immediately stepped to the floor. The engine roared like a beast, and the car shot towards the entrance of the manor like an arrow. The car sped along the road, leaving a cloud of dust. After turning a corner, it disappeared from everyone's sight in a moment.

"We can't let them get away!" Lei Tao said, leading the group towards the parked cars at the intersection. Lei Tao and Yi Guang quickly got into one car, while Chen Feiyang drove another, carrying Liu Zishan. Li Shuiniu and Li Shuyang followed closely behind. The cars raced towards the enemy's direction.

The car sped along the road, raising a cloud of dust. Lei Tao gritted his teeth, gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and a murderous look in his eyes. He kept maneuvering the car, trying to escape Lei Tao's pursuit. Lei Tao pursued him relentlessly, the car speeding along the road. The roar of the engine and the friction of the tires on the ground intertwined, forming a tense and exciting pursuit movement.

During the pursuit, Lei Tao kept observing the surroundings, looking for the right moment to overtake or intercept. Suddenly, the rear window of the car rolled down, and an agent leaned out, holding a submachine gun and firing wildly at Lei Tao's car. Bullets flew like raindrops, hitting the hood and doors of the car driven by Lei Tao, making a "ding-dong" sound. Lei Tao reacted quickly, turning the steering wheel sharply, and the car flexibly shuttled on the road, avoiding the enemy's bullets. Yi Guang was in the passenger seat, not afraid at all. He opened the window on his side, leaned out, picked up the MP35 submachine gun, and fired back at the car. Bullets flew out of his gun muzzle and shot towards the car. Seeing this, the agent hurriedly retreated into the car, and the car driver also stepped on the accelerator, trying to increase the distance.

At that moment, the car driven by Chen Feiyang quickly caught up. Liu Zishan opened the car window, leaned out, and, holding his Thompson submachine gun, fired at the tires of the enemy vehicle. "Bang, bang, bang..." A burst of gunfire rang out, and the bullets grazed the tires. Although they missed, they frightened the enemy driver into a cold sweat, and the vehicle instantly lost control and veered off course. Li Shuiniu also leaned out most of his body, raising his shotgun and firing at the enemy vehicle. Although the huge shotgun shells missed the car directly, the powerful impact caused the enemy vehicle to shake violently.

Lei Tao seized the opportunity and stepped on the accelerator, sending the car hurtling forward like an arrow, successfully forcing the car to the side of the road. Meanwhile, Yi Guang seized the opportunity and fired continuously at the car, his bullets penetrating the door and striking an agent inside. The car stopped on the side of the road, and the agents inside alighted, using the car as cover to engage in a fierce gunfight with Lei Tao and Yi Guang.

Chen Feiyang quickly parked his vehicle in a favorable position and, along with Liu Zishan, Li Shuiniu, and Li Shuyang, dismounted to join the battle. Using the vehicle and the surrounding terrain as cover, they engaged Lei Tao and Yi Guang in a crossfire, fiercely attacking the enemy. Bullets flew around the vehicle, impacting the body and the ground, sending up showers of sparks and dust. Neither side yielded, and the roar of gunfire echoed in a tense atmosphere.

Neither side gave in, the sound of gunfire rang out, and the situation was extremely tense. Lei Tao and Yi Guang, inside the car, used the vehicle's cover to constantly adjust their positions, seeking the best angle of attack. They worked in perfect harmony, firing while observing the enemy's movements.

During the exchange of fire, Lei Tao noticed that the enemy's firepower was concentrated on one side of the vehicle. He quickly made a decision, using hand gestures to direct Yi Guang and Chen Feiyang to encircle the vehicle from the other side. Yi Guang and Chen Feiyang understood his intention and, taking advantage of a break in the enemy's fire, quickly used surrounding obstacles to quietly maneuver around the enemy's flank and rear. The enemy, preoccupied with the direct exchange of fire with Lei Tao and his men, was unaware of Yi Guang and Chen Feiyang's actions. Seizing the opportunity, Yi Guang and Chen Feiyang launched a surprise attack, unleashing a barrage of fire that killed two Japanese spies.
