The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 327: Japanese spies appear in the secret cave on the cliff, and the camp is suddenly surroun

Zooming in and taking a closer look, I saw two of them were none other than Kamisama Kazuya and Zhu Erba. As soon as they entered the cave, they began to curse. Zhu Erba, already furious after his failed document robbery attempt, was now furious at the sight of the bandits guarding the hostages drinking. He raised his hand and slapped one of the guards so hard he could be heard through the screen.

Lei Tao witnessed the scene in front of him, and calmly controlled the joystick of the drone with both hands, keeping the distance between it and the cave precisely within a safe range, allowing the drone to hover steadily in the air, continuing to spy on every move in the cave.

His eyes were glued to the screen, not missing a single detail as he scrutinized the cave's layout inch by inch. From the chaotic arrangement of tables and chairs to the random piles of debris in the dark corners, to the faint entrances to hidden passages etched in the walls, he memorized it all. Those narrow passages could be an enemy's escape route; and hidden corners deep within the cave might hold dangerous ambushes.

After confirming he had all the key information, Lei Tao tapped the control panel and issued a command. The drone slowly turned and, following the predetermined route, steadily returned to his direction. The drone landed steadily on Lei Tao's outstretched palm. He quickly stored the equipment in the Bagua Gyro space and, exhausted, lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Lei Tao's sleep was not restful. His dreams were filled with the terrified eyes of the girls in the cave and the ferocious faces of Uesugi Kazuya and Zhu Erba. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly woke up, sweating profusely, his eyes still filled with the fear from his dream. He glanced out the window, saw that it was already dark, and realized that he had slept all afternoon. He retrieved a whole box of M1911 pistol ammunition, five Thompson submachine guns, each with four magazines and a box of specialized submachine gun ammunition, two Springfield rifles, and hundreds of rounds of Springfield sniper rifle ammunition from the Bagua Top space, and arranged them neatly in the room.

Lei Tao looked at the room full of ammunition and guns, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. He knew that these weapons would be the key to fighting against Shangshan Heye and Zhu Erba.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. "Captain Lei, are you awake?" It was Yi Guang's voice.

Lei Tao opened the door, and Yi Guang saw the weapons and ammunition in the room at a glance. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Captain Lei, these are..."

Lei Tao explained simply, "This is the basis for our next move, so keep it secret for now. By the way, did Chen Feiyang get any information out of the bandits? And has Liu Zishan returned from his investigation into the security team?"

Yi Guang's expression straightened as he quickly responded, "Chen Feiyang is still trying to pry into the matter, and there's no news yet. However, he's always efficient, so we'll probably have results soon. Liu Zishan hasn't returned yet, and the situation with the security team is complicated, so investigating it will take some time."

Just as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps could be heard, and Chen Feiyang rushed in. His face was filled with excitement as he declared, "Brother Lei, we've made a big discovery! The bandits revealed that in addition to Shangshan Kazuya and Zhu Erba, there's another Japanese man named Muto Muraki in the Banya cave. He's the mastermind behind the entire operation. They plan to transfer the hostages soon, then evacuate and reunite with other Japanese agents."

Lei Tao frowned, his expression solemn: "It seems we have to speed up our action. Liu Zishan has not returned yet, and the situation on the security team's side is unclear. We can't wait any longer. Yi Guang, you quickly go and quietly call the Li brothers and Meng Xiaoyu over to replenish ammunition, and don't alarm Xu Keming first."

Yi Guang took his orders and hurried through the camp, avoiding the attention of others. He first found the Li brothers. At that moment, the Li brothers were cleaning their weapons. Seeing Yi Guang's hurried expression, they immediately stood up and asked. Yi Guang briefly explained his purpose, and without saying a word, the two men put away their weapons and went to Lei Tao's room.

Yi Guang then arrived at Meng Xiaoyu's residence. Meng Xiaoyu was sorting through a supply list when she saw Yi Guang enter, a look of confusion in her eyes. Yi Guang lowered his voice, "Xiaoyu, Captain Lei wants to see you on an important mission." Meng Xiaoyu understood, put down her list, and joined them.

The three of them entered the room and were stunned to see the weapons and ammunition filling it. Lei Tao looked at them with a serious expression, "Time is running out, so I'll be brief. Uesugi Kazuya and the others are trying to move the hostages, and we have to act before they do. These ammunition are our lifeblood."

Lei Tao skillfully loaded bullets into the magazine of the M1911 pistol and said, "We have time now to fill all the magazines, because we have a tough battle to fight later."

Upon hearing this, Yi Guang, Meng Xiaoyu and others quickly walked to the ammunition box, picked up the magazines and bullets, and started loading them.

"Captain Lei!" Liu Zishan shouted as he entered the door, his voice filled with heavy breathing from the journey.

Everyone's eyes turned to him. Lei Tao stopped loading the bullets, stood up and asked, "Zishan, you're finally back. How's the situation at the security team?"

Liu Zishan took a sip of water, calmed his breathing, and said, "The situation within the security group is very complicated. Some people have been secretly bribed by Zhu Erba and are colluding with the bandits, but there are also some who sincerely want to maintain the peace of the town. They are just suppressed by the unhealthy trend and dare not speak out."

Lei Tao frowned, thought for a moment and said: "Let's solve the hostage crisis first. As for the problem of the security corps, let Xu Keming and his group of military intelligence officers handle it."

Before they could delve deeper, however, a flurry of hurried footsteps and loud shouting emanated from outside the camp. Liu Zishan's expression changed, and he hurried to the window to investigate. In the darkness, he saw half a squadron of the security corps, over a hundred men, holding torches and led by squadron leader Lu Shaotang, forming a fan-shaped formation and tightly surrounding the militia camp. The flames illuminated the night sky and Lu Shaotang's face, pale from excessive drinking and sex.

Lu Shaotang rode atop a tall, red horse, looking arrogant and wielding his whip. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Listen up, you sons of bitches from the militia! Someone has reported your militia for harboring bandits. I'm here today on orders from above to investigate. Everyone, be smart and open the camp gates quickly. Don't force me to do anything!"

Inside the camp, the militiamen, having heard the commotion outside, reacted quickly, grabbing their weapons and running to the gate, where they engaged the security guards in a gun-toting standoff. Militia leader Wang Dali raised his homemade Mauser pistol and yelled at Lu Shaotang, "F**k you! You idiot Lu, you're the only one capable of such despicable slander. If you dare, try! We militiamen aren't afraid of threats, so don't push us too far!"

When Lu Shaotang heard this, his face suddenly fell, as ugly as if he had eaten a dead rat. He tugged at the reins, led his horse forward two steps, his eyes bulging like bells, stared at Wang Dali and said fiercely, "Don't refuse a toast, kid! I'm following orders from above. If you dare to stop me, you're disobeying military orders. You'll suffer the consequences. Don't blame me for not warning you!"
