The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 366: Manor Attack and Defense, Grenade Breakthrough and Tunnel Destroy the Enemy

Lei Tao led the "Netherworld" team to launch a rapid attack on the Japanese special forces in the reception room.

The Japanese agents reacted quickly, leveraging their familiarity with the terrain and their surroundings for cover as they engaged Lei Tao and his men in a fierce firefight. One agent hid behind a marble pillar in the reception room, occasionally peeked out to fire. Seeing the situation was critical, Lei Tao quickly directed Li Shuiniu and Li Shuyang, "Shuiniu, Shuiniu, circumvent the enemy from either side and draw their fire!" Li Shuiniu and Li Shuyang understood the command and immediately split into two groups, using flower beds and bushes for cover to advance on the Japanese agents' flanks.

Meanwhile, Lei Tao and the rest of the team steadily advanced, using walls and windowsills for cover. Liu Zishan followed closely behind, submachine gun in hand, ready to provide fire support. Lei Tao observed the enemy's movements while communicating tactics with his team through hand gestures. He spotted a Japanese spy leaning out of the living room window, ready to throw a grenade. Without hesitation, Lei Tao quickly raised his M1911 pistol and took aim. The bullet, like an arrow from a bow, struck the spy's arm with pinpoint accuracy, sending the grenade flying and dropping to the ground. In a flash, Li Shuiniu leaped forward, kicking the grenade into the open air, then rolled on the ground, avoiding the blast.

Elsewhere, Li Shuiniu and Li Shuiyang had successfully circumvented the Japanese spies' rear. Using their repeating crossbows, they delivered precise strikes. A Japanese spy, completely focused on firing at Lei Tao and his men, was unaware that Li Shuiyang had quietly approached. Taking cover from a low wall, Li Shuiyang poked his head out, quickly loaded his crossbow, and aiming at the Japanese spy's back, he decisively pulled the trigger. The crossbow bolt, like a bolt of black lightning, instantly pierced the Japanese spy's body, sending him screaming and collapsing to the ground.

The Japanese spies gradually fell into a passive position, their firepower was suppressed by the accurate shooting and tacit cooperation of Lei Tao and his team. Lei Tao seized the opportunity and shouted: "Charge!" The morale of the team members was greatly boosted, and they rushed out from behind the bunkers and launched a surprise charge against the Japanese spies.

After a fierce gunfight, several Japanese spies were shot and killed. The remaining Japanese spies could only take turns to cover each other and retreat to the tunnel entrance. Two of them fled upstairs to make a final stand. Lei Tao led his team to pursue the victory and completely defeated the Japanese spies outside the reception room, clearing the way for subsequent operations.

Lei Tao and his men rushed into the house. Two Japanese agents on the upper floor fired frantically from their submachine guns. Bullets rained down like raindrops, forcing the team to quickly seek cover. Seeing the situation was critical, Lei Tao immediately gestured to Chen Feiyang, signaling him to provide suppressive fire. Chen Feiyang understood and quickly raised his Thompson submachine gun, firing a barrage of bullets at the upper floors. The dense barrage of bullets rained down like a torrential rain, forcing the two Japanese agents to retreat and seek cover.

Seizing this opportunity, Lei Tao quickly pulled an M1 grenade from his tactical vest pocket. He deftly removed the safety pin, gripping the grenade in his right hand, and waited for the perfect moment to release it. Under Chen Feiyang's cover, the Japanese agents' firepower was effectively suppressed, preventing them from firing freely. Seizing the perfect moment, Lei Tao swung his arm, sending the grenade arcing through the air toward the Japanese agents upstairs.

The Japanese agents upstairs suddenly noticed the grenade flying towards them, and instantly panicked. They shouted, "Yamedie! Grenade!" However, it was too late. The grenade exploded upstairs, and the tremendous force blew the two Japanese agents away. They fell screaming and fell to the ground below, and there was no movement anymore.

Yi Guang heard footsteps coming from the tunnel's direction, and instantly became alert, realizing an enemy was trying to escape. He quickly turned, gripping his Thompson submachine gun tightly, and crouched against the wall, quickly approaching the tunnel entrance. When he was a few steps away, he leaned against the wall, raised his gun, and held the butt of the gun firmly with both hands, his finger on the trigger.

Two Japanese spies appeared in panic. Yi Guang quickly dodged them, half-crouched, raised his gun, and fired several shots at the enemy. One of the spies turned to flee but was shot in the back and fell to the ground. The other rushed over but was also shot in the chest by Yi Guang, falling backwards and motionless.

Lei Tao rushed to the tunnel entrance and shouted to everyone, "Yi Guang and I will go down to the tunnel to conduct reconnaissance and search. Fei Yang, Zi Shan, Shuiniu, Shuian, and this comrade from the Military Control Commission will search the manor for intelligence." "Understood, Captain," Yi Guang replied, his eyes firm and focused. Lei Tao turned to Chen Feiyang and said, "Fei Yang, you will search the manor carefully, especially those places where intelligence may be hidden, such as the study, safe, and secret compartments. Don't miss any of them."
