The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 463: Drones' Honeycomb Fire Rain Destroys the Japanese Armored Array

The system girl rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "You're good at ordering people around. If you keep doing this, the drone's balance system will be overloaded. Don't blame me if it crashes!"

Lei Tao scratched his head and said flatteringly, "Miss, please help me. I promise this is to give the devil a fatal blow. When the mission is completed, I will change you into a more dazzling virtual skin!"

The system girl snorted softly: "You're so sweet, I'll help you this time. But if your energy is depleted too much again, I won't be able to help you!"

Lei Tao rubbed his hands excitedly: "Don't worry, the energy source of the drone this time uses fuel, which will not cause the system energy loss. At the critical moment, my little sister is still reliable.

The virtual girl blushed slightly and spat softly, "Stop talking nonsense. The intelligent ground support robot has already begun modification, but we have to monitor the process. If there is any mistake, the drone will be useless."

Lei Tao nodded earnestly, his mind fixed on the operation of the intelligent ground robot. The robotic arm precisely dismantled the tactical missile and installed the honeycomb rocket launcher, and every movement made him nervous.

"Miss, the energy transmission line of this transmitter needs to be reinforced to avoid malfunction during launch." Lei Tao stared at the operating screen and said nervously.

The system girl rolled her eyes at him. "I know, I'm not a novice. The circuit has been optimized. We just need to wait for the rockets to be loaded and the drone will be able to take off."

Finally, the loading of 50 high-explosive rockets and 50 special fuel-air explosive rockets was completed, and the "Rainbow 6" drone started with a buzzing sound, and its wings trembled slightly.

Lei Tao watched the drone streaking across the sky, his eyes flashing with determination: "Little devils, this time I'll let you taste the power of high technology!"

The drone silently flew toward the Japanese armored regiment's base. Lei Tao's palm slid across the control terminal, setting the attack parameters. Everyone in the cave held their breath, the drone's real-time feed casting only a faint blue shadow on the cave walls. As the drone reached the target area, the system suddenly sounded a piercing alarm: "Enemy early warning radar activated! Locking onto our drone within 30 seconds!"

Lei Tao's knuckles clenched white as he quickly switched to thermal imaging mode. "Activate fuel-air rockets! Prioritize destroying the armored vehicles and tanks of the armored regiment!" With that command, the drone instantly transformed into the Grim Reaper's scythe. Like a rain of fire from hell, the fuel-air rockets pelted the Japanese steel behemoths with pinpoint accuracy. Deafening explosions and blazing flames shot skyward, plunging the armored regiment's camp into chaos. In the night sky, fireballs burst forth with a blinding brilliance against the gloomy backdrop, like blossoming evil flowers. Each blast of fire seemed to tear open a wound in the darkness, revealing the fiery, hideous flesh within. Anti-aircraft machine gun bullets spun webs of death through the air, but the drone had already fulfilled its mission, vanishing into the night like a vengeful ghost.

But the battle had just begun. The Japanese army was clearly not going to give up easily, and their reinforcements were rapidly approaching. The system girl's warning sounded again: "Cavalry Regiment reinforcements are approaching, expected to arrive within 5 minutes!

"Everyone, get into battle positions!" Lei Tao immediately switched his tactical tablet to a topographic map. Red dots of light were moving rapidly along the mountain path. He pulled four directional mines from the Bagua gyroscope and thrust them into the Li brothers' hands. "Lay them at the narrow mouth of the canyon. Remember to stagger the detonation times!"

Chen Feiyang set up the captured Type 92 heavy machine gun. Meng Xiaoyu had already set up his VSS sniper rifle from a commanding height three hundred meters away. Liu Hong and the members of the Railway Guerrilla Team strapped explosive packs to the rolling log. "Brother Lei, if the Japanese cavalry enter the valley, we will push them down!"

Five minutes later, the sound of horse hooves crashed to the ground like a torrential downpour. Lei Tao, staring at the thermal image through his tactical eyepiece, suddenly shouted, "Fire!" Li Shuiniu pressed the remote control, and the first directional mine exploded among the horses, shrapnel sweeping through the front row of cavalry. The startled horses neighed and reared, sending the rear formation into disarray.

"Machine gun suppression!" Chen Feiyang pulled the trigger, and the Type 92 rifle spewed flames. The Japanese troops immediately dispersed into skirmish lines, and the two Type 99 light machine guns began to return fire. Meng Xiaoyu locked onto the Japanese squad leader through the scope. With a "bang" the gunshot rang out, blood burst from the commander's forehead, and his command knife clanged to the ground.

Lei Tao's Bagua gyroscope system suddenly flashed red: "It has been detected that the Japanese army is carrying large-caliber sniper rifles." He was about to remind everyone when an armor-piercing bullet flew past the rock wall and blew a deep pit behind him. "Xiao Yu, destroy the Japanese heavy weapons first!" Before he finished speaking, another wave of cavalry came up from the flank.

The system girl suddenly prompted, "Suggested activation of electromagnetic pulse interference." Lei Tao gritted his teeth and pressed the button, instantly disabling all Japanese communications equipment within a 500-meter radius. This, however, also exposed his position, as three grenade launcher shells hurtled toward his hiding spot. In the nick of time, Liu Hong swung a rope and pulled him into the bunker, where the blast buried them both in the rubble.

"Brother Lei!" Li Shuiyang rushed over to help dig out the rocks. Lei Tao wiped the blood from his face, took out ten improved incendiary bombs from the space and stuffed them into his hands: "Listen to my slogan three, two, one... pull the string, and throw!"

"Three! Two! One!" Lei Tao's roar cut through the smoke of the battlefield. Li Shuiyang's fingers flew, repeatedly pulling off the safety pins of the incendiary bombs. Ten bombs were hurled in a continuous, fan-shaped parabola. The specially formulated phosphorus fire incendiary agent traced ten orange-red trails through the air, landing precisely in the middle of the Japanese cavalry formation. The horses' manes instantly ignited with bluish-white flames, and they charged forward with their frantic riders, smashing the infantry formation behind them into pieces.

"Machine gun suppression!" Chen Feiyang set up his modified AK47, and a web of tracer bullets swept through the chaotic enemy group. Meng Xiaoyu, using the low-light night vision function of the sniper scope, locked onto the figure of the Japanese commander. With three gunshots, three majors holding command sabers fell to the ground one after another, and the Japanese counterattack was immediately thrown into chaos.

Just as everyone was preparing to pursue the enemy, the system alarm suddenly blasted: "Japanese troops have been detected releasing tear gas. The concentration of toxic gas in the current area has exceeded the permitted level!" The pungent, spicy smell instantly filled Li Shuiniu's nose. He covered his eyes, coughed, and stepped back, nearly losing his Scorpion submachine gun. Lei Tao immediately retrieved five gas masks from the Bagua Gyro space and tossed them to the core team members: "Captain Liu, lead your men to circumvent the west! We'll break through head-on!"

Using smoke as cover, the Railway Guerrillas strapped cluster grenades to dead trees. At Liu Hong's command, the flaming trunks rolled like giant rockets toward the Japanese positions, detonating their makeshift ammunition crates. The violent explosion overturned three armored vehicles, sending shrapnel raining down everywhere.

However, the Japanese reinforcements arrived faster than expected. The system girl's voice was filled with an electric hum: "Warning! The Japanese 17th Independent Artillery Regiment has completed its position deployment. Expected artillery fire in 15 seconds!" Lei Tao stared at the flickering red dot on his tactical goggles, his pupils suddenly constricting. He abruptly called up the drone control interface, and ten modified "Rainbow 6" drones immediately took off from the Bagua Gyro space, their honeycomb rocket launchers mounted under their wings flashing a dangerous red light.

"All drones, switch to thermal imaging mode and lock onto the artillery positions!" Lei Tao's voice was as cold as ice. His fingertips slid across the virtual keyboard, accurately calculating the target coordinates to the meter. With this command, the drone swarm rushed towards the Japanese artillery position like an arrow, firing 50 high-explosive rockets and 50 special fuel-air explosive rockets in quick succession.

The sky was instantly illuminated by flames, and the dense explosions echoed like thunder. The fuel-air explosives formed a massive fireball in mid-air, generating an overpressure shockwave that overturned Japanese artillery pieces and swept the crews into the air. High-explosive rockets accurately struck ammunition trucks, and the violent detonations reduced the entire artillery position to a sea of ​​fire.
