The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 104 "Ghost Assassin, today is the day you die!

Seeing Lei Tao fleeing ahead, the Japanese captain sneered and ordered the grenade thrower to fire a grenade at him. At the same time, with a wave of his hand, he ordered his soldiers to pursue him with all their might. The grenade thrower quickly set up his weapon, adjusted the angle, and grenade after grenade whistled towards Lei Tao. Hearing the whistling grenades, Lei Tao cursed inwardly, "Fuck you!" His steps immediately changed, and he began to move nimbly, serpentine movements. He twisted his body left and right, moving rapidly sideways, sometimes accelerating to sprint, sometimes stopping suddenly to change direction.

A grenade exploded not far to his left, its powerful impact sending up a torrent of dirt and rocks. Lei Tao, though agile enough to avoid the direct impact, was still showered with fragments of stone. A sharp stone shard grazed his right arm, instantly opening a gash, oozing blood. Then, a larger rock struck his back, sending him stumbling forward. But he gritted his teeth, resisting the pain, and quickly regained his balance, continuing his flight deeper into the valley, intent on luring the Japanese troops into a trap.

With the bulk of the Japanese troops pursuing Lei Tao and already within the explosive range of the cluster grenade, Lei Tao quickly looked around and spotted a patchwork of boulders and trees, where he dove for cover. The terrain was low and provided natural cover, offering relative safety. He then retrieved his flare gun from the Bagua gyroscope, fired it, and a red flare streaked across the sky like a meteor.

At this moment, Lu Ming, perched atop a mountain in the valley, was nervously staring in Lei Tao's direction. Seeing the red flare launch into the sky, he muttered to himself, "Finally!" He quickly picked up the detonator that connected all the bombs and cluster grenades. He gripped the detonator tightly with both hands, took a deep breath, and then pressed the detonator rod down with all his might.

Suddenly, the valley shook as a series of violent explosions erupted. Flames shot up into the sky, and thick smoke billowed into the air. The powerful force of the blasts dislodged numerous rocks from the mountainside, causing them to lose their balance and tumble down the valley floor. A Japanese captain in the valley, witnessing this sudden and horrifying scene, turned pale and cried out in Japanese, "Yametie! Retreat!" Before he could finish his words, he was engulfed by the sudden blast wave. Instantly, a fierce explosion rocked the valley, and the powerful force and flames mercilessly swept away most of the Japanese troops. After the smoke cleared slightly, Lei Tao retrieved his tactical first aid kit and briefly treated his wounds. His sights quickly locked onto the small group of Japanese soldiers fleeing in panic at the edge of the valley. He and his team immediately launched a pursuit, determined to capture the remaining enemy forces and prevent them from escaping and causing trouble for subsequent operations.

He crouched low, skillfully using the boulders and dense undergrowth of the valley for cover, silently advancing step by step toward the small group of Japanese troops. When they were within optimal striking range, Lei Tao quickly retrieved a Thompson submachine gun from the mysterious Bagua gyroscope. With lightning speed, he leaped from cover, firmly grasping the submachine gun with both hands, and decisively pulled the trigger. Flames erupted from the muzzle. A barrage of bullets rained down upon the Japanese troops, disorienting them. The already terrified Japanese, caught off guard by this sudden attack, were thrown into disarray. Unable to fight back, they could only blindly seek cover, trying to avoid the deadly hail of bullets.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming wasn't idle either. Armed with a Springfield sniper rifle, he led several team members in a flanking attack, sprinting rapidly along the rugged mountain path. Lu Ming paused periodically, crouching, hiding behind rocks or trees, observing the Japanese's movements and the battle situation on Lei Tao's side. When he spotted a Japanese trooper attempting a flank breakout, he quickly raised his sniper rifle, adjusted his breechblock, and locked onto his target through the scope. With a resounding blast, the trooper fell. Under his cover, the other team members continued their advance, throwing grenades and firing rifles. Together with Lei Tao, they formed an effective pincer attack, forcing the small group of Japanese troops into a desperate situation.

However, just as the situation was gradually turning in Lei Tao's favor, the Japanese army's Kazuya Uesugami arrived with his elite special forces. Kazuya Uesugami saw Lei Tao from afar, his eyes revealing a fierce and excited look. He gritted his teeth and said, "Netherworld Assassin, today is the day you die!

He suddenly raised his hand high, spread his fingers and waved them vigorously. The members of the special forces team quickly dispersed, quietly and swiftly approaching Lei Tao and others in a fan-shaped formation.
