The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Lei Tao stood in the jungle that had just experienced a fierce battle. The air was filled with smoke and the smell of blood, which had not yet completely dissipated. He was panting slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of determination after exhaustion.

After successfully annihilating all the Japanese troops in the jungle, Lei Tao walked slowly and steadily towards the spot where the ventriloquist horror doll had been placed. His figure seemed a little lonely in the mottled light and shadow, but his eyes revealed an indescribable determination and confidence.

When he finally reached his destination, he stood still, staring at the doll that once emanated such a terrifying aura. Then, he slowly bent down, his movements extremely gentle, as if he were afraid to wake a sleeping baby. His fingers gently pinched a corner of the doll, and then slowly removed it from the branch or other object that held it.

Lei Tao straightened up and carefully examined the strange-looking doll in his hand. The doll's face was distorted beyond recognition, its eyes were empty, and its mouth was wide open, as if it would let out a creepy scream at any moment. However, in Lei Tao's eyes, this was no longer a terrifying monster, but a symbol of his victory.

His thoughts drifted back to the thrilling battle. The smoke-filled battlefield, the deafening roar of gunfire, and the terrified expressions of the Japanese soldiers all came to mind. It was precisely because of the terrifying atmosphere created by this small doll that the enemy was thrown into extreme panic and confusion, creating favorable conditions for their victory.

Thinking of this, Lei Tao smiled faintly and reached out to gently turn off the remote control on the doll. With the power cut off, the doll instantly fell silent, its previous eerie movements gone. Then, Lei Tao carefully placed the doll in his arms, then opened the Bagua spinning top he carried with him and gently placed the doll inside, ensuring it was securely placed. His movements were filled with awe, as if he were placing a priceless trophy.

After completing all this, Lei Tao clapped his hands and nodded with satisfaction. A subtle smile crept onto his lips, its slight upward curve revealing a tinge of pride deep within him. After all, this victory not only demonstrated his exceptional tactical acumen and courage, but also gave him a unique souvenir. He murmured to himself, "This is truly a lot of fun!" With that, he turned and strode away, leaving the silent jungle behind to bear witness to his recent glorious achievement.

However, Lei Tao remained clear-headed. He knew the Japanese would never give up, so he made a decisive move to complicate the Japanese investigation. He re-opened the Bagua Gyro space and quickly began clearing the battlefield. With deft, skillful movements, he collected most of the Japanese corpses and their sophisticated weapons and equipment. Soon, the battlefield was reduced to a shambles, and most of the crucial evidence had been skillfully concealed.

Only the bodies of two Japanese squad leaders lay there, isolated and alone. Lei Tao gazed at them with indifference, as if looking at a symbol of sin. His eyes held no trace of pity, only hatred for the invaders. He mercilessly discarded them and began to booby-trap them. His movements were careful and cautious, every detail meticulously considered. He knew these booby-traps would become deadly traps for the Japanese or traitors who would later collect their bodies.

Lei Tao sneered inwardly, imagining the terror and despair of those Japanese soldiers and traitors as they triggered the booby traps. He wanted to make them know that invading another's land would come at a heavy price. He wanted to make them tremble in fear, to fill them with awe for this land.

After dealing with all this, Lei Tao dragged his exhausted body back. His steps were heavy and slow, as if every step took all his strength. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lei Tao finally returned to the artillery position near Toudaoling. By this time, he was exhausted and could no longer hold on. His vision went black and he fainted.

The remaining National Security soldiers nearby saw Lei Tao fall and quickly ran over to help him up and take him to rest nearby. The female military doctor was shocked to see Lei Tao covered in blood, thinking he was seriously injured. She hurriedly examined Lei Tao, but after a careful examination, she found no wounds on him, presumably from enemy blood splatter. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They also heard the sounds of gunfire and explosions, which continued throughout most of the night and into dawn. The sounds of fierce battle still seemed to echo in their ears, filling everyone's heart with emotion. They knew the cruelty and difficulty of this war, but their resolve to defend their homeland was even stronger.

The scene shifted to the Japanese headquarters in Nanjing. The soldiers who had fled back to the city were pale, their faces filled with fear. Trembling, they reported to their superiors, "Sir, we've encountered demons and monsters in the jungle! Most of the Japanese troops have been devoured by them!" Their voices were hoarse and terrified, as if they were still immersed in the horrific scene. A dead silence fell within the Japanese headquarters, and every face was filled with disbelief. They could not imagine what kind of force could have caused such devastating losses to such a well-equipped Japanese force.

Matsui Iwane sat in his tent, the soldiers' anxious and anxious reports echoing in his ears. A hint of deep doubt gradually emerged on his previously calm face. Despite having experienced countless hardships and witnessed many bizarre things over the years, he still maintained a firm skepticism towards the so-called "demons and ghosts."

However, the current situation left him in a dilemma. The scheduled time for the city entry ceremony was approaching. If such a crucial moment was delayed because of this strange incident, it would likely lead to a series of unpredictable consequences. Furthermore, he had numerous other matters requiring his personal attention and direction, leaving him with little time to spare.

After careful consideration, Matsui Iwane made a firm decision. His sharp, hawk-like eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of determination. With a stern expression, he raised his right hand and gently waved it, commanding the soldiers before him to retreat.

After the soldiers had departed, Matsui Iwane quickly gathered his thoughts and devoted all his energy to the preparations for the entry ceremony. He methodically arranged every detail, from the troop route to the on-site layout, striving for perfection in every aspect. He also reminded his lieutenants to closely monitor the situation so that he could immediately dispatch elite troops to conduct a thorough investigation into the reported incident after the ceremony.
