The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 106 Military Control Special Operations Team Attacks

The blood of the Japanese soldiers splattered on the surrounding grass. The soldiers behind them were not immune either, as the small steel balls rained down like a torrential rain. Many were hit in the limbs, their bones broken and flesh shattered. Some were hit in the face, their features instantly shattered, a horrific sight. Still others were hit in the chest, falling to the ground in agony, spitting blood in large mouthfuls, leaving a pool of blood on the ground. This sudden attack plunged the Japanese troops into extreme chaos and panic, and the offensive came to an abrupt halt, leaving only painful groans and cries echoing through the valley.

Everyone heard the explosion and knew that the Japanese would soon launch another attack. Hu Hansi and the others looked at each other, seeing worry and determination in each other's eyes. They gritted their teeth, took the unconscious Huang Hu, held on to the rope tightly, and began to slowly descend.

Lei Tao, alone, turned and faced the direction of the attacking Japanese special forces. He crouched nimbly, quietly concealing himself in the thorny woods. He took a deep breath, quickly retrieved a VSS silenced sniper rifle from his Bagua gyroscope, and deftly loaded the 30-round extended magazine. Then, kneeling on one knee, he placed the butt of the rifle firmly against his shoulder. Through the scope, his eyes, sharp as a hawk, scanned the smoke-filled area.

Soon, a member of the special forces team cautiously emerged from the edge of the mountain, attempting to peer into the surroundings. Lei Tao's lips curled up slightly in a grim smile. His finger rested lightly on the trigger, and he held his breath as he slowly adjusted the sights. With a soft "puff," the bullet, driven by the four grooves in the barrel, whistled out, accurately striking the circular red sun symbol on the special forces team member's helmet. The powerful impact instantly penetrated the helmet, blasting his head straight out. Brains and blood splattered on the rocks nearby. The special forces team member collapsed without even a scream.

The scene switched to the opposite hilltop where Lei Tao was standing. The Military Control Commission's special operations team, led by Du Zhiteng, had just reached the top. As soon as they emerged, they were startled by the intermittent sounds of explosions and gunfire coming from the opposite hilltop, and they immediately took cover.

Du Zhiteng quickly took out a telescope to observe, and saw that on the opposite mountain, hundreds of Japanese soldiers were fanning out. Some of them relied on boulders and trees halfway up the mountain, and kept shooting at the opposite mountain top. Dense bullets poured out like raindrops, and the deafening gunshots echoed in the valley. Under the cover of gunfire, another part of the Japanese army crouched down, carefully but firmly charging towards the top of the mountain. From time to time, some of the charging Japanese soldiers fell to the ground instantly, as if they were accurately hit by a mysterious force hidden in the dark. What's more, someone seemed to have triggered a landmine. With a loud "boom", flames shot into the sky, accompanied by limbs blown into the air. The scene was extremely tragic. However, what surprised Du Zhiteng was that even though they looked carefully, they did not find any trace of the Japanese opponent "Ghost Assassin"

Seeing this, Du Zhiteng put down his binoculars and turned to the team members beside him and said, "It seems that overseas Chinese Lei Tao, the 'Ghost Assassin', is quite capable. He was able to hold out for so long under the siege of so many Japanese troops and inflict such heavy casualties. He's no ordinary man."

Team member A echoed, "Captain, who on earth is this Lei Tao? He has such abilities. Could he really be a superhuman?"

Du Zhiteng frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "I've only heard that he collaborated with the remnants of the Nationalist Army to disrupt the Japanese army's entry ceremony into Nanjing, and that he used mysterious weapons to attack the Huangpu River docks in Shanghai, the Yamato warship on the riverbank, and bombarded the Japanese Expeditionary Force headquarters in Shanghai. There are also some confidential matters that are kept secret for the time being...

But unexpectedly, his performance in this actual combat was even more amazing."

Team member B said nervously, "Captain, what should we do now? Should we go support him?"

Du Zhiteng pondered for a moment and shook his head. "Don't rush. We don't know the specific situation yet, so we can't act rashly. If we disrupt his plans, it might even lead to bad consequences. Let's continue to observe and see how the situation develops."

So, the members of the Military Control Commission's Special Operations Team lay on the ground, their eyes fixed on the battlefield opposite, their weapons tightly grasped in their hands, ready to deal with any possible emergencies at any time.

As time went on, the Japanese attack became more and more fierce, but there was still no flaw on the top of the mountain. Du Zhiteng became more and more curious, and he raised the telescope again, trying to find Lei Tao's trace.

At that moment, he seemed to see the blurry figures of several Japanese soldiers moving rapidly on the top of the mountain. Then, they suddenly froze and fell to the ground. Du Zhiteng secretly admired, "Lei Tao's marksmanship and tactical proficiency are truly superb. He is well-equipped and can handle such a desperate situation with such composure."

Suddenly, a shell exploded near the top of the mountain, sending up a cloud of dust and smoke. Du Zhiteng's heart tightened, worried that Lei Tao had met with an unforeseen event. When the smoke cleared, he discovered that resistance on the mountaintop was still going on.

Team member C said anxiously: "Captain, if this continues, Lei Tao and the others may not be able to hold on. We have to do something!"

Du Zhiteng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, we'll split into two groups. I'll lead one group, and we'll circumvent the Japanese from the side to try to distract them. You'll lead the other group, and continue to observe here, looking for the right moment to provide fire support. Remember, be cautious in all your actions and don't expose yourself."

After that, Du Zhiteng led a group of team members, crouching down, taking cover from the vegetation in the mountains, and slowly moving to the side. Their footsteps were very light, for fear of making any sound that would attract the attention of the Japanese army.

The other team members stood in full battle position, their eyes fixed on the battlefield opposite, their fingers tightly gripping the triggers, ready to fire without hesitation at the captain's command.

When Du Zhiteng's team reached a small hill on the flank of the Japanese army, he signaled for them to stop. He carefully poked his head out and observed the Japanese army's movements. The Japanese were so engrossed in their attack on the hilltop that they hadn't noticed their approach.

Du Zhiteng took a deep breath, silently calculating the timing. He knew this was an extremely dangerous gamble...

At this moment, he saw the Japanese army launched a new round of charge. Du Zhiteng decisively waved his hand and whispered: "Open fire!"

Instantly, the weapons in the hands of the Military Intelligence Bureau's special operations team members simultaneously spewed out tongues of fire, and bullets swept towards the flanks of the Japanese army like a whirlwind. The Japanese army was caught off guard by this sudden attack and was thrown into chaos for a while.

The Japanese troops attacking halfway up the mountain had to divert some of their firepower to deal with the threat from the flank, and the originally tight attack formation fell into disarray. Lei Tao, on the top of the mountain, seemed to have noticed this change. He seized the opportunity and used his VSS silent sniper rifle to shoot and kill several exposed Japanese soldiers.

For a moment, the sounds of gunfire and explosions intertwined, and the entire valley fell into an even more intense melee.
