The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 78 The Japanese Army's Elaborate Trap

Lei Tao discovered another Japanese artillery position and planned to continue his sabotage operation. He considered that his previous semi-automatic drum-type crossbow was becoming inconvenient in this new combat environment. Furthermore, it might allow the Japanese to exploit his pattern... So, he quickly put the crossbow away and, from the mysterious Bagua spinning top, retrieved a modified Type 81 assault rifle. This rifle had been meticulously modified, featuring a 5.5x zoom optical scope and a large-capacity drum magazine.

Lei Tao gripped his modified Type 81 assault rifle, expertly pulling the bolt with his backhand to load the round, then flipped the safety to single-shot mode. After preparing himself, he quietly made his way towards another Japanese artillery position.

Inside the Japanese command tent, a Japanese officer, Ichiro Yamamoto, stared at a map, a sinister look in his eyes. He had just received reports from the front regarding Lei Tao's movements and was well aware of his danger. A slight, cruel smile curled his lips as he gave the order: "Pass my instructions. Have the various teams of the Sakura Special Forces proceed as planned. Surround the enemy from all directions, making sure not to alert the enemy. Once he reaches the artillery position, we will close in, concentrating all our firepower to completely annihilate him. We must not allow him to escape." The Japanese soldiers, upon receiving the order, quickly moved, silently encircling Lei Tao. A fierce battle was about to begin. Lei Tao, unaware of the danger approaching, continued cautiously advancing towards his target, his gaze fixed firmly on the artillery position ahead, his mind fixed on completing his sabotage mission.

Holding a modified Type 81 assault rifle, Lei Tao infiltrated and advanced towards another artillery position of the Japanese army with a solemn and cautious look. The assault rifle seemed to have life in his hands. The added 5.5x zoom scope gleamed with a mysterious luster in the light and shadow. The large-capacity drum magazine hung heavily on the gun body, which gave Lei Tao sufficient firepower and gave him a better chance of winning in this dangerous jungle.

However, Lei Tao did not know that he had stepped into a trap carefully designed by the Japanese army. Under the command of Yamamoto Ichiro, the cunning Japanese army planned to lead him into this well-arranged ambush circle, just like a ferocious beast falling into the trap carefully laid out by the hunter.

Suddenly, the tranquility of the jungle was broken by a burst of intense gunfire, the sound like popping beans, and bullets whistled in from all directions like raindrops. Japanese soldiers, holding Type 38 rifles, fired frantically at Lei Tao, their eyes revealing ferociousness and murderous intent, intending to kill Lei Tao instantly.

Lei Tao reacted incredibly quickly, executing a tactical evasive maneuver in an instant. He dove to the ground like a nimble cheetah, his entire body pressed tightly against the ground, using the surrounding trees and bushes as natural cover. Bullets whirled around him like the Grim Reaper's scythe, sending splattered dirt and branches pelting him. The situation was dire, every second crucial.

At that moment, a Japanese soldier, Jiro Sato, suddenly leaped from his hiding place, clutching a grenade and hurling it forcefully in Lei Tao's direction. The grenade traced a deadly arc through the air, hurtling toward Lei Tao. In this crucial moment, Lei Tao displayed remarkable composure and superb marksmanship. He quickly raised his Type 81 assault rifle, his eyes fixed on the incoming grenade, and fired a single, precise shot. Like a flash of lightning, the bullet struck the edge of the grenade, causing it to change course mid-air and fly toward the Japanese troops. Without hesitation, Lei Tao fired another shot, this one directly impacting the grenade. With a resounding boom, the grenade exploded overhead, sending a massive shockwave ripples through the air like a surging ocean wave, instantly knocking several nearby Japanese soldiers to the ground. Among them was Saburo Kobayashi, who was left dazed and distraught.

But the danger did not dissipate, but became even more intense. In a large tree not far away, a Japanese sniper, Watanabe Shiro, had been lurking like a sinister venomous snake for a long time. His eyes, through the scope of his sniper rifle, were tightly locked on Lei Tao's every move, waiting for the best moment to shoot and try to give Lei Tao a fatal blow.

Lei Tao sensed this dangerous aura, and his nerves instantly tensed. He quickly shifted his eyes, scanning the surroundings, trying to locate the sniper's hiding place. Sweat continued to seep from his forehead and trickle down his cheeks, but his eyes remained as firm as a rock, without a trace of panic.
