Chapter 331: Bloody Battle, Decisive Battle Before Dawn
Kazuya Uesugami hid behind a boulder, his eyes fixed on Lei Tao and his men, a mixture of fear and anger. He waved his hand, and the two agents beside him agreed. They crouched down, using the bushes for cover on either side, and quickly flanked Lei Tao and his men. Kazuya Uesugami, armed with his MP-34 submachine gun, used a tree trunk as cover, leaning outwards, and fired wildly at Lei Tao and his men. The barrage of bullets sent sparks flying from the bunker in front of them.
Lei Tao, clinging to cover, keenly aware of the enemy's intentions. He quickly turned and shouted to Li Shuiniu and Li Shuyang, "Shui Niu, Shui Yang, watch out!" Then, while Shang Shan Kazuya was reloading, he suddenly rose from cover, gripping his M1911 pistol with both hands. With a unique grip, his wrist trembling rapidly, the muzzle of the pistol swiftly like a snake, and with two precise "bang bang" shots, he struck the tree trunk beside Shang Shan Kazuya, sending sawdust flying and causing him to retreat back into cover.
Brothers Li Shuiniu and Li Shueiyang shielded each other, shifting positions constantly to avoid enemy fire. Li Shuiniu suddenly spotted a Japanese agent closing in from the left. He quickly ducked, rolled, and reached a large tree. Kneeling on one knee, he raised his Thompson submachine gun, aimed at the enemy, and fired a burst of shots, sending the Japanese agent falling to the ground. Meanwhile, Li Shueiyang spotted an enemy on his right. Using cover, he quickly maneuvered to the side of the enemy. Suddenly rising, he unleashed a burst of fire from his Thompson submachine gun, forcing the Japanese agent back. He then swung a throwing knife, striking the Japanese agent in the throat. The agent, struck by the knife, instinctively clutched his neck and collapsed, dead.
Not to be outdone, Meng Xiaoyu followed closely behind Lei Tao, Thompson submachine gun in hand, constantly searching for opportunities to shoot. She zeroed in on an agent exposed outside cover, pulled the trigger, and a volley of bullets unleashed. The agent, unable to dodge, was hit in the leg and fell to the ground. Another shot to the head killed him.
Elsewhere, the Military Intelligence Bureau agents led by Xu Keming were locked in a stalemate with an elite squad led by Muto Muraki. Muto Muraki hid behind a mound, directing his men to constantly change their attack formations. With a sudden shout, several agents fanned out, using the terrain for cover and rapidly advancing on the Military Intelligence Bureau agents.
Seeing this, Xu Keming shouted, "Group One, concentrate your firepower and suppress the enemy! Group Two, look for opportunities to flank them!" One group of Military Intelligence agents crouched behind sandbags, poking out the muzzles of their Thompson submachine guns and firing fiercely at the enemy. The bullets sent the ground in front of them flying with dust. The second group of agents crouched low and swerved from the side, using trees and brush for cover to quietly close in on the enemy.
A KMT agent spotted an enemy machine gunner, quickly took aim, and decisively opened fire. However, the enemy machine gunner reacted quickly, immediately hiding behind cover and simultaneously firing frantically with his machine gun, suppressing the KMT agent's attack. Xu Keming frowned, observing the battlefield situation and noticing a brief fire gap on the enemy's flank. He immediately led several agents, holding Thompson submachine guns, in a tactical formation, and quickly rushed toward the enemy's flank. They advanced and fired, forcing the enemy to divert some of its firepower to deal with them.
Yi Guang, Liu Zishan, and Chen Feiyang ran quickly in the night, approaching Zhu Erba's mortar position. Their figures appeared and disappeared in the woods, their guns tightly grasped, ready to respond to any emergency. As they approached the mortar position, they found several bandits nervously operating the mortar.
Yi Guangxian raised his Thompson submachine gun and fired first, hitting two bandits with two "bangs". The bandits panicked and picked up their weapons to fight back. Liu Zishan and Chen Feiyang also quickly sought cover and engaged in a fierce gun battle with the bandits.
A bandit, rifle drawn, poked his head out from behind cover, ready to fire. Yi Guang, quick-witted and quick-handed, rolled behind a large tree and fired a burst of bullets, killing the bandit. Chen Feiyang, taking advantage of the terrain, shifted his position constantly, firing bursts of bullets at the bandits with his Thompson submachine gun. The flames from his rifle kept spitting out, leaving the bandits unable to raise their heads.
As the battle progressed, both sides' ammunition supply gradually dwindled, and the situation became increasingly tense. Yi Guang seized the opportunity and shouted, "Go, fight them!" The three of them, guns drawn, rushed out from behind cover and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the bandits.
Yi Guang rushed at a bandit, dodging a dagger thrust and simultaneously striking him in the head with the butt of his rifle, knocking him to the ground. Liu Zishan wrestled with a burly bandit, skillfully using his body's strength to wrestle him to the ground before finishing him off with a dagger. Chen Feiyang, facing the onslaught of two bandits, remained undaunted, deftly dodging their attacks while looking for opportunities to strike back. He suddenly kicked one in the stomach and, while he was bending over, stabbed him in the chest with his dagger.
When Zhu Erba discovered that the "Youming" team was about to rush up, he knew that he was no match for them, so he quietly led two confidants to evacuate the battlefield and flee to his nest in the cave on the cliff. He ran out of breath and looked back as he ran, for fear of being caught up. Along the way, branches scratched his face and thorns caught his clothes, but he didn't care. He just wanted to get back to the nest where he thought he was safe as soon as possible. He didn't care about the lives of the devils like Shangshan Kazuya. In this chaotic world, he knew that the only way to survive was to survive. As for the possible revenge of Shangshan Kazuya in the future, he could only take a gamble and wait until they survived the joint stranglehold of "Youming" and the Military Control Commission.
On the front lines, the confrontation between Lei Tao and Uesugami Kazuya reached a fever pitch. Seeing that the frontal attack was difficult to break through, Uesugami Kazuya decided to make a desperate move, leading two of his trusted agents, guns drawn, and madly charging towards Lei Tao and his men. Seeing this, Lei Tao's eyes flashed with a hint of fighting spirit. He took a deep breath, gripped his M1911 pistol tightly, and prepared to meet the enemy's attack.
The distance between the two sides rapidly closed, the air thick with the scent of gunpowder, the tension building like a drawn bow, poised to snap at any moment. Lei Tao's gaze was sharp, and without hesitation, he pulled the trigger first, unleashing his meticulously honed gunfighting skills. His wrist was as nimble as a fish swimming in water, rapidly changing his firing angles with a speed unmatched by ordinary humans. In an instant, bullets, laced with the fury of revenge, rained down on Kazuya Shangshan and his Japanese agents.
Kazu Uesugami, a veteran of the battlefield, darted behind a stout tree like a flash of black lightning the moment the bullets struck. His movements were agile and deft, as if he instinctively reacted to the threat of death. However, his men were not so lucky. One of the agents was about to seek cover when a bullet pierced his forehead with pinpoint accuracy. He didn't even have time to scream before he fell backward, blood gushing from his wound onto the cold ground. Another agent, attempting to duck, was struck in the chest by a bullet, the force of which sent him flying backward several meters, where he fell heavily to the ground, dead instantly.
Kazuya Uesugi hid behind a large tree, breathing heavily, his eyes betraying a mixture of fear and anger. He quickly adjusted himself, pressing his body tightly against the trunk, using the tree's cover as he slowly raised his submachine gun. His fingers trembled slightly, but without hesitation, he pulled the trigger towards Lei Tao. Instantly, tongues of fire erupted from the muzzle, and a barrage of bullets whizzed towards Lei Tao, sending shattered pieces of the bunker in front of him flying.
At that moment, a bullet, like a black meteor, pierced through the smoke and struck Lei Tao's arm. Lei Tao felt a piercing pain in his arm, and his body trembled involuntarily. But he didn't hesitate. He gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, his face filled with determination. He endured the pain, gripped the pistol tightly with both hands, and frantically squeezed the trigger with his index finger, unleashing a barrage of bullets at the enemy. The battlefield erupted in a flurry of gunfire.
When his bullets ran out, Lei Tao quickly crouched down and hid behind a nearby cover. He panted heavily, his eyes warily scanning his surroundings for any enemy attack. Then, with his uninjured hand, he quickly tore open the corner of his clothing, wrapped the strip tightly around the wound, and tied a tight knot to stop the bleeding. He then gripped his pistol tightly, ready for the next round of battle.
Seeing Lei Tao injured, Li Shuiniu and Li Shuyang shouted in anger, raised their rifles, and fired fiercely at the enemy. Meng Xiaoyu also rushed over, providing cover for Lei Tao with a submachine gun. With their tenacious resistance, Shangshan Kazuya's attack was temporarily repelled, but he still refused to accept defeat.
Uesugami Kazuya swung his emptied submachine gun away, drew a sharp samurai sword from his waist, and with a roar, charged at Lei Tao again. Lei Tao quickly sheathed his empty pistol and swung it back (using his mind to retrieve it from the Bagua spinning top space). A Gurkha knife appeared in his hand, and he swung it with a flourish, the blade creating a whirring sound that sent dust flying all around. He then reversed his grip on the knife, crouched slightly, and locked his eyes with Uesugami Kazuya, poised to strike back.
