The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 82 I am the 'Ghost Assassin'

Lei Tao charged into the battle, zeroing in on a Japanese soldier locked in a struggle with a Sichuan Army soldier. Raising his machete high, he slashed down at the soldier with all his might. The machete's whirring sound was like the roar of death. Even before it reached the soldier, the soldier felt a chilling chill, as if he were being watched by the god of death. With a swish, the machete sliced ​​into the soldier's shoulder with ease, like chopping into tofu. A high-voltage current instantly passed through the blade, sending the soldier convulsing and letting out a heartbreaking cry of pain. He dropped his weapon to the ground with a clang, his body shaking uncontrollably, his eyes filled with fear and despair.

Without a moment's hesitation, Lei Tao swiftly drew his machete, his movements smooth as flowing water. He lunged at another nearby Japanese soldier, now a god of war on the battlefield. His movements were swift and fierce, and every swing of his machete against a Japanese soldier was enough to inflict a serious injury or even death. The blood splattered in the sunlight like a blooming flower of death. With his presence, the pressure on the Sichuan Army reconnaissance team was immediately relieved, and the soldiers' morale soared. They felt the strength Lei Tao brought, as if they had a solid backing. Together with Lei Tao, they fought with their broadswords against the bayonets of the Japanese Type 38 rifles, becoming more and more courageous, and every strike was deadly...

The Sichuan Army reconnaissance team and Lei Tao worked together to form a formidable fighting force. They fought back-to-back against the Japanese army in a desperate confrontation. Every swing of Lei Tao's high-voltage electric machete brought down a Japanese soldier, and the Sichuan Army soldiers, undeterred, weaved through the Japanese troops with their machetes, slashing and killing them. On the battlefield, the Japanese forces dwindled in numbers, their defenses gradually crumbling, and signs of panic began to appear. Some Japanese soldiers attempted to flee, but Lei Tao and the Sichuan Army soldiers would not let them escape so easily. They pursued them, beheading them one by one.

The smoke of battle gradually cleared, revealing the battlefield in ruins, littered with the bodies of Japanese soldiers. Though exhausted, the Sichuan Army squad's faces beamed with the joy of victory. They supported each other, bandaged wounds, and took headcounts.

Liu San, the captain of the Sichuan Army's small reconnaissance team, walked up to Lei Tao, his eyes full of curiosity and admiration. He patted Lei Tao on the shoulder and asked with a smile, "Brother, today is all thanks to you! Which unit are you from? Why haven't I seen such an amazing person like you before?"

Lei Tao smiled, revealing his white teeth. A mysterious glint flickered in his eyes as he jokingly said, "Me? I don't belong to any particular unit. I'm the 'Ghost Assassin,' specializing in raids from behind the enemy lines. Like a ghost, I come and go without a trace."

Upon hearing this, the Sichuan Army squad gathered around, their eyes wide as bells. Li Shuiyang said in awe, "'Ghost Assassin'? That's a really cool name! Do you have some magical spell that lets you suddenly appear next to the Japanese and beat the crap out of them?"

Lei Tao laughed heartily, his hearty laughter echoing endlessly on the battlefield: "Magic? Not really. I just blew up a Japanese artillery position today, and I was planning to destroy their other artillery positions. Unexpectedly, the Japanese saw through my plan and set up a circle for me to jump in. Look, I just broke out with great difficulty and wanted to rest in a tree, but when I saw you waving your swords and fighting the Japanese desperately, my heart was like a cat scratching. My hands itched for a moment, and my mind got hot, so I picked up the sword and chopped the Japanese together with you...

After hearing Lei Tao's words, the soldiers couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the originally tense atmosphere became relaxed and cheerful. Liu San asked again with interest: "Brother, aren't you afraid of fighting alone behind enemy lines? You are really brave."

Lei Tao patted his chest vigorously and said with a proud look on his face: "Fear? What's that? The Japs are doing whatever they want on our territory, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. I wish I could stab them in the back every day. Every time I see the Japs being beaten dizzy and pissing themselves in fear by me, I feel so happy in my heart. That feeling is better than eating a hot and fragrant meal of dumplings!"

Li Shuiniu smiled and said, "Just keep bragging. Aren't you afraid that one day we'll be surrounded by the Japanese again?"

Lei Tao raised his eyebrows and said mysteriously, "Just them? They want to surround me? I'm the 'Netherworld Assassin', I come and go without a trace, how can they find me easily? Even if I'm really surrounded, I can fight my way out and take a few Japanese soldiers with me, so that they can't come back."

Liu San smiled and shook his head. "You're truly a remarkable man! However, regardless of whether you're the 'Ghost Assassin' or something else, you saved us today, so you're our brother. If you need anything in the future, our Sichuan Army, especially our Special 1st Battalion, will absolutely be there for you."

A touch of emotion flashed in Lei Tao's eyes. He held the captain's hand tightly and said, "Okay! Let's drive the devils out of China together and let them know that we Chinese are not to be trifled with!"

The Sichuan Army reconnaissance teams responded one after another, shouting: "Drive the Japs out!" The sound echoed on the battlefield for a long time, full of passion and strength.

Lei Tao and the Sichuan Army reconnaissance team headed towards Teng County together. Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, sharing interesting stories from the battle and their own experiences.

When they entered Teng County, they attracted considerable attention. Upon hearing the news, Fang Tianyi, commander of the Sichuan Army's 1st Special Battalion, came to investigate with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion. He spotted Lei Tao and looked him up and down, his eyes filled with surprise.

Fang Tianyi couldn't help but ask, "Are you the 'Ghost Assassin'? The 'Ghost Assassin' who, according to legend, used a mysterious weapon to blow up the munitions on the Huangpu River docks and the destroyer 'Yamato' in Shanghai, and then spread the word and bombarded the Japanese headquarters in Shanghai? Those things that happened in Shanghai were truly heartbreaking for the Japanese. And it was you who was stirring up trouble in the Japanese rear, wasn't it..."
