Chapter 112: The semi-automatic crossbow bed is powerful, and Kazuya Uesugi is injured and defeated.
Lei Tao pulled out several high-explosive grenades from the Bagua gyroscope, his eyes filled with determination. He quickly pulled the safety pin, swung his arm vigorously, and the grenades streaked across the sky like meteors, hurling them in a blanket pattern towards the Japanese attacking formation.
Grenades tumbled through the air, and the Japanese soldiers looked up in terror. Before they could react, grenades exploded one after another among their ranks. The deafening roar of explosions filled the air, flames shot skyward, and blasts of air swept in all directions like surging waves. The sudden and ferocious attack threw the Japanese soldiers into disarray, limbs scattered everywhere, and screams and wails filled the jungle.
Kazuya Uesugi also fell to the ground under the impact of the explosion. His face was covered in dust and blood, his eyes filled with anger and astonishment. He had never expected Lei Tao to be able to produce such a lethal weapon. But he quickly regained his composure, shouting at the remaining soldiers to reorganize their defense, trying to stabilize the situation and find an opportunity to continue the attack.
Meanwhile, on Lei Tao's side, the tribe's warriors saw the devastating impact of the grenade, their morale soaring. Meanwhile, a middle-aged tribesman quickly ran to the commanding heights, manipulating the hastily constructed semi-automatic crossbow. With a determined gaze, he expertly operated the crossbow, loading and firing the stout bolts one by one. Like arrows released from a bowstring, the bolts whistled and whistled continuously towards the Japanese, who were occasionally struck and pierced through the flesh. Some of the Japanese soldiers struck by the crossbows collapsed instantly, their blood spilling onto the ground; others, though resilient, were severely wounded and unable to fight, groaning in agony. The situation on the battlefield intensified, and both sides were locked in a brutal stalemate.
Seeing this, Uesugami Kazuya picked up a submachine gun, aimed at the middle-aged man who was controlling the semi-automatic crossbow on the commanding heights, and fired a burst of bullets. The bullets whizzed out and hit the baffle of the crossbow, making a tinkling sound. The middle-aged man was a little angry and quickly adjusted the shooting angle and elevation of the crossbow, and then fired crossbow arrows frantically at Uesugami Kazuya. The crossbow arrows poured down like a rainstorm. Uesugami Kazuya saw the rain of arrows coming and did a tactical roll to avoid it. But the crossbow arrows were too dense, and he was still shot through the arm by a crossbow arrow. He groaned, endured the severe pain, hid behind a big tree, and used a dagger to chop off the crossbow arrowhead remaining on his arm, and then asked the medical soldier who came late to help him deal with the crossbow arrow without an arrowhead.
Meanwhile, the archers selected by Lei Tao had circled behind the Japanese grenade throwers. Lightfooted and swift, they quietly approached their target under the cover of the dense jungle. Taking advantage of the grenade throwers' preoccupation with the battlefield ahead, unaware of the danger behind them, the archers decisively drew their bows and released their arrows. Sharp arrows sliced through the air, piercing the Japanese grenade throwers with unstoppable force. Several grenade throwers were instantly struck, some in the back and some pierced through the neck. They collapsed with screams, their grenade throwers losing control, and the grenade attack, once a significant threat to the tribe, was instantly paralyzed.
After their attack, the archers didn't rest. They skillfully concealed themselves and stalked the jungle once more. Like ghosts, they moved through the trees, searching for their next suitable prey. Spotting isolated or unsuspecting Japanese soldiers, they unleashed their bows without hesitation. Each arrow, silently and accurately released, slew many before they could react. Their actions sent the Japanese soldiers into a state of panic, and they began to tremble with fear, constantly on the alert for the fatal arrows that could strike from nowhere.
Kazuya Uesugi realized the tide of battle had turned, and he was injured. Though he felt resentful, he also knew that continuing the fight would risk total annihilation. He gritted his teeth and ordered his troops to retreat. The Japanese soldiers, as if granted amnesty, began to retreat, constantly looking back as they retreated, fearing the tribal warriors would seize the opportunity to pursue them.
Lei Tao saw the Japanese army retreating and knew that the battle was over. He shouted to everyone: "Everyone check the bodies of the Japanese soldiers and finish them off to prevent any fraud." The soldiers looked at each other, and someone whispered: "Isn't this not good?" Lei Tao said seriously: "This is a war, and we can't be soft-hearted. If they pretend to be dead and fight back, we will have more casualties." After hearing this, the soldiers nodded silently and began to act.
Lei Tao then directed: "Some people will collect the Japanese army's guns, ammunition, sabers, dry food, medicine and other useful items. Others will take care of our wounded and carry them to a safe place for treatment. Some people will also check how much of our fortifications are damaged and repair them quickly."
A soldier asked, "Lei Tao, will the Japanese army come back to attack us?" Lei Tao frowned and said, "It is very likely, so we must seize the time to prepare and not let our guard down."
Everyone responded in unison: "Okay!" and then quickly got busy according to Lei Tao's arrangements.
