The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

At night, the sky seemed covered by a boundless, thick black curtain, tightly enveloping the entire earth. In this pitch-black night, everything seemed so quiet and eerie. However, a figure quietly moved in this darkness: Lei Tao.

Lei Tao, dressed in a black nightgown, moved like a fleeting ghost, so light that his presence was almost imperceptible. His steps were nimble and agile, moving swiftly through the darkness, each step filled with caution and care, fearing the slightest sound.

In this way, Lei Tao quietly bypassed one Japanese patrol after another, passed through one street after another, and finally arrived at the area on the other side of Nanjing City. Here, stood a magnificent and solemn church manor.

Against the backdrop of the night, this church estate appears even more tranquil and serene, like a sleeping giant, quietly guarding this land. The ancient building exudes an air of mystery, as if carrying countless memories and stories. The pointed roof soars into the sky, seemingly piercing the deep night sky, inspiring endless reverie.

The trees surrounding the church estate swayed gently in the breeze, their leaves rustling against each other, whispering memories of a bygone era. Moonlight filtered through the branches, casting patches of light and shadow onto the ground, making the entire scene seem dreamlike and enchanting.

Lei Tao stood in the shadows of the church estate, quietly observing his surroundings. His eyes were sharp and alert, never missing a single possible danger. Then, a memory from his past life struck him: a secret basement beneath the church estate's pool, excavated by the first English priest (a French agent). The current priest, the sixth, had fled here completely unaware of the secret basement. Furthermore, the priest had recently lost one eye after the Japanese, under the pretense of illness, forced him to consume a drug developed for their research. Lei Tao felt a surge of pity, yet also a surge of indignation at the Japanese's brutality. He wondered if this secret basement was connected to the clues he was seeking, and if it might hold any clues to the Nationalist Army's Special Brigade's base.

Lei Tao looked at the pavilion model on the rockery in the middle of the pool, and a strong curiosity surged in his heart. The model looked a little strange under the moonlight. "Hey, this thing looks interesting." Lei Tao muttered to himself, and for the first time ever, he stretched out his hand and gently twisted the model on the rockery. The moment his hand touched the model, a large stone on the edge of the pool suddenly made a dull sound, and then a downward entrance slowly opened. Lei Tao widened his eyes and opened his mouth so wide that it seemed as if an egg could fit in it. "Wow, what's going on? Did I trigger some mysterious mechanism?"

He took a deep breath and very gently pulled the high-intensity flashlight from his backpack. The flashlight felt heavy, yet holding it in his hand gave him a sense of reassurance. He slowly raised his foot and stepped into the mysterious entrance. As soon as he entered, a damp smell hit his nose, as if the entire passage was made of condensed water vapor.

The passage was dimly lit, relying solely on the light of a flashlight to illuminate the path ahead. The walls were covered in dense, dense water droplets, which shimmered faintly and eerily under the flashlight, like countless pairs of eyes peering at him from the darkness. They seemed to silently tell ancient stories buried by time, bringing a chill to his heart.

Lei Tao took light steps, each one cautious as if treading on thin ice. His ears perked up, listening attentively to even the slightest sound, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly, not missing any corner that might hide danger. His cautious demeanor at this moment was like a trembling, cautious mouse, ready to flee at the slightest sign of trouble.

Lei Tao trudged forward a few dozen meters, feeling apprehensive. Suddenly, he found himself facing a massive iron gate, blocking his path. Faced with this unexpected obstacle, he showed no sign of panic or hesitation. He quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of delicate lockpicking tools, muttering to himself, "Hey, look at my little lockpicking prodigy! I'll get you in a matter of minutes!" Then, he crouched down, focusing his attention on the iron gate.

Lei Tao's fingers deftly manipulated the locksmith, each subtle click adding to the tension. Time slipped by, sweat forming on his forehead, yet he remained completely focused, not daring to relax. After a few attempts, the lock opened with a click.

When Lei Tao slowly pushed open the rusty, heavy iron door, he felt his heartbeat suddenly accelerate, and an indescribable sense of tension surged in his heart. And the moment the door was completely open, he was completely stunned by the scene before him.

The spacious basement was densely packed with boxes of various weapons and equipment. They were neatly arranged, like well-trained soldiers, standing quietly and orderly, as if silently awaiting inspection by their superiors. Some of these boxes were tall and imposing, towering like giants; others were small and exquisite, like delicate works of art. Each box exuded the unique cold luster of metal, inspiring awe.

Lei Tao's eyes widened, nearly popping out of their sockets. His gaze greedily swept over the neatly arranged boxes of weapons and equipment, his heart surging with excitement. At that moment, he felt as if he were in a dreamlike world, surrounded by countless treasures, gleaming with dazzling light.

"Wow, this is going to be a stunner! It's like I've unlocked my own personal version of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves!" Lei Tao muttered to himself, his voice trembling with excitement. He had completely forgotten where he was, with only one thought in mind: how many advanced weapons and equipment were hidden inside?

He found a crowbar nearby and pried the box open without hesitation. The first thing that caught his eye was a row of American Thompson submachine guns. Lei Tao couldn't wait to pick one up, pulled the bolt, and examined it carefully. The gun was cold and solid, and every component was intact, as if it was ready for battle at any time. "Hey, this is a good treasure, it must be very powerful."

Lei Tao's gaze shifted to the box beside him. As he pried it open again, his surprise was palpable. Inside, neatly arranged, were American-style hand grenades. Their rounded shapes and metallic texture exuded a dangerous aura. Lei Tao carefully picked up a grenade, examining it closely, thinking to himself, "With these, I'll surely deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at a crucial moment." He could already see them on the battlefield, soaring towards the enemy like angry firebirds, exploding in a dazzling display of fire.

Lei Tao continued to pry open other boxes. After opening a slightly larger one, his eyes lit up instantly. It was filled to the brim with American military canned meat and rations. Lei Tao excitedly picked up a can of meat, looked at the label, and felt a surge of joy. "Haha, this is a wonderful surprise! With all this food, the soldiers won't have to worry about going hungry during battle." He could almost see the anti-Japanese fighters, in between grueling battles, eating these canned food and rations to regain their strength and continue their brave fight.

Lei Tao opened several more boxes, discovering either M1911 pistols, a uniform array of light machine guns, or even mortars. Standing amidst this pile of weapons, with ammunition and mortar shells on either side, Lei Tao felt as if he were in a war treasure trove, like Alibaba entering a cave of treasures.

"Wow, this is exactly my dream library!" Lei Tao's brain was working rapidly, recalling all the previous clues, thinking that this was more than 80% of the legendary batch of arms.

After careful consideration, Lei Tao, like a general planning a strategic plan, decisively decided to use the magical Bagua gyroscope space on his body to store more than a hundred Thompson submachine guns. "Hehe, these treasures will definitely show their power on the battlefield in the future." Lei Tao's face showed a confident smile, as if he had already seen the scene of these submachine guns playing a huge role in the battle.

He then carefully selected over a hundred Springfield rifles. "This thing is truly powerful, with a long range and high accuracy," Lei Tao said, gently stroking the barrel of a Springfield rifle, his eyes filled with admiration. With these rifles, it was like having a powerful weapon to strike the enemy from a distance.

Lei Tao quickly collected dozens of Czech light machine guns. "Wow, with these light machine guns, the firepower is absolutely astonishing." He seemed to have seen the enemy retreating step by step under the powerful firepower suppression.

He also stored about a hundred pistols in his storage space for emergency use. Lei Tao knew that at a critical moment, a small pistol might be able to turn the situation around.

At the same time, he also received ten mortars and four base quantities of various bullets and mortar shells. These were all "big killers" on the battlefield, and with them, he had a powerful asset to fight the enemy.

Lei Tao also put dozens of boxes of American grenades into the Bagua Gyro space. He knew that these grenades could play a huge role at a critical moment.

Just as Lei Tao was about to finish storing, his eyes fell on dozens of boxes of American military canned meat and rations. "Haha, this is a pleasant surprise!" Lei Tao hurriedly stored these canned meat and rations into the Bagua Top Gyro space. With this food, they wouldn't have to worry about going hungry during the arduous battle, which undoubtedly provided an additional guarantee for the war of resistance.

Looking at the Bagua Tuo space overflowing with weapons, equipment, and supplies, Lei Tao felt a strong sense of mission. He was well aware of the importance of these items and the heavy responsibility he shouldered. But he also didn't forget the weapons that hadn't been collected. At this moment, the image of Lao Wang, the underground party courier, emerged in his mind. Lao Wang and his men had been silently contributing to the anti-Japanese cause, and these weapons were undoubtedly a timely help to them.

Without hesitation, Lei Tao unearthed all the captured Japanese weapons and equipment from the Bagua Gyro space and placed them alongside the remaining equipment. While these Japanese weapons might be slightly inferior in performance, they could still play a significant role in the current war of resistance. He decided to give the remaining weapons to Lao Wang so that they could better contribute to the anti-Japanese cause.

Lei Tao's eyes gleamed with determination. He knew his decision would bring new hope to the War of Resistance. He looked forward to these weapons being used to their full potential in the right hands, contributing to an early victory in the war. He could already see the anti-Japanese fighters bravely fighting with these weapons, and his heart was filled with pride and confidence.
