The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 249: Lure the Enemy into an Ambush: A Bomb Breakout in a Desperate Valley

Chen Feiyang and Liu Zishan each found a good cover. Liu Zishan half-knelt behind a big rock and accurately aimed at the Japanese officers and shot; Chen Feiyang used the earth slope for cover and kept moving his position to make it difficult for the Japanese to lock on him, and he specifically targeted the Japanese machine gunners to shoot.

Lu Ming crouched down in a low-lying area, his eyes fixed on the every move of the Japanese army in front of him. At this time, Hu Hansi's machine gun was firing crazily, and the powerful firepower suppressed the Japanese army. Lu Ming seized this opportunity, took a deep breath, stood up suddenly, and the grenade in his hand drew an arc in the air and landed accurately in the crowd of Japanese soldiers. With a loud "bang", flames splashed everywhere, and the Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces. Lu Ming did not dare to delay for a moment. As soon as he threw the grenade, he quickly jumped behind a huge rock next to a big tree to avoid the shrapnel attack caused by the grenade explosion...

Huang Hu was stationed not far behind Lu Ming, using a stout tree as cover. He held his rifle steady, his eyes glued to the scope, keeping a close eye on the battlefield. The moment Lu Ming threw the grenade, Huang Hu immediately adjusted his firing angle, aiming his gun at the Japanese soldiers who were attempting to raise their heads and fight back. His finger rhythmically squeezed the trigger, and with a few "bangs," the bullets whizzed out with blazing heat, each one hitting its target with pinpoint accuracy, leaving the Japanese soldiers unable to raise their heads and providing solid cover for Lu Ming's actions.

Suddenly, Huang Hu caught a glimpse of several Japanese soldiers on the right side, crouching with guns in hand, trying to launch a counterattack from the flank. His heart tightened, and without time to think, he quickly turned around and lay down on the ground. He supported himself with his elbows and adjusted his body posture to put himself in the best shooting position. His eyes locked firmly on the Japanese soldiers through the sight, he took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and pulled the trigger again. "Bang, bang, bang", bullets were fired one after another, and the Japanese soldier who rushed to the front fell to the ground. The Japanese soldiers behind were frightened by the sudden attack and quickly lay on the ground, not daring to move easily. Their counterattack was successfully suppressed by Huang Hu.

Lei Tao was extremely anxious and hurried towards the cliff. After reaching the mountainside, he immediately locked onto the huge rock. The terrain below the rock was hidden, making it an ideal place to plant a bomb.

He quickly squatted down and carefully pulled the TNT mixture bomb from his backpack. He quickly installed the fuse and then began to set the trigger mechanism, his eyes fixed on the device, his mind calculating the number of bombs and the number of explosion points needed to collapse the boulders and create a partial landslide...

During the installation, Lei Tao would periodically glance up at the battlefield. He saw Hu Hansi's machine gun firing at full force, raining bullets down on the Japanese, suppressing their advance. Chen Feiyang and Liu Zishan were also engaging in a fierce exchange of fire, each side refusing to yield. The ferocious Japanese offensive and the precarious situation for their side prompted Lei Tao to move even more swiftly.

Hu Hansi took advantage of a break in the fighting to loudly mock and incite hatred at the Japanese army, saying, "Everyone says you Japs are so formidable, claiming you can outfight ten with one. But today's battle seems like just that... You've exaggerated your combat effectiveness in front of the comfort women, haven't you? You even chant "Long Live the Emperor!" But in our eyes, he's nothing but a fool..."

The Japanese squadron leader, Takeda Sanrei, happened to be an expert on China. Upon hearing what his opponent said on the hillside, he was furious. He snatched the Type 38 rifle from a nearby Japanese soldier, aimed at Hu Hansi's position, and fired a shot, then ordered his soldiers to charge forward...

The bullet, carrying Takeda Sanli's anger, whizzed towards Hu Hansi. Hu Hansi reacted very quickly. The moment he heard the gunshot, he dodged to the side. The bullet grazed his sleeve and flew past, leaving a deep bullet hole on the tree trunk behind him.

"Hey, is that all you can do?" Hu Hansi continued to taunt while quickly changing the magazine. He knew that angering Takeda Sanli was a risky move, but as long as he could disrupt the Japanese offensive rhythm, it would all be worth it.

Seeing his first shot miss, Takeda Sanli became even more enraged and fired two more times. Hu Hansi nimbly dodged between cover, using trees and mounds of earth to avoid the bullets. At the same time, he signaled to his teammate Chen Feiyang, who understood and fired in Takeda Sanli's direction, suppressing his movements.

Takeda Sanrei was forced to hide behind a large rock. He gasped for breath, thinking about how to fight back. At this moment, his signalman ran over and reported the casualties of the troops. He learned that several key firing points had been destroyed and the morale of the soldiers was low. Takeda Sanrei's heart sank.

Hu Hansi, taking advantage of the Japanese firepower being slightly weakened, shouted to his teammates, "Brothers, come on, the Japs can't hold on any longer!" He then raised his machine gun and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese positions. Liu Zishan, using his precise marksmanship, targeted the Japanese ammunition handlers, preventing them from receiving a continuous supply of firepower.

Takeda Sanrei gritted his teeth and decided to go all out. He gathered his remaining troops and prepared to launch a large-scale charge. He personally brandished his sword, shouted slogans, and drove the soldiers forward.

Hu Hansi saw the Japanese move and realized the dire situation. He quickly adjusted his tactics, concentrating his firepower with his teammates to create a dense fire network in front. Japanese soldiers continued to fall, but under the pressure of Takeda Sanrei, they continued to charge forward.

After the bomb was installed, Lei Tao stood up and carefully checked the trigger mechanism again. After confirming that everything was safe, he straightened up and unhooked his VSS silenced sniper rifle from his back. He nimbly climbed to a rocky outcrop, out of the bomb's range. From his vantage point, he aimed his rifle at the Japanese. Through the scope, he could clearly see the Japanese soldiers cautiously approaching the valley, some using trees and mounds for cover.

"Bang!" Lei Tao fired decisively, and a Japanese soldier who was about to stick his head out fell to the ground. His shooting was accurate, and with every shot, a Japanese soldier was hit. The Japanese soldiers were a little panicked by this sudden sniper attack, and they all lay on the ground, not daring to get up easily.

As Lei Tao fired, he blew rhythmically on his Osprey whistle, "Beep, beep, beep, beep..." This meant, "The trap has been set. Quickly retreat. Lure the Japanese over here. Be careful." He knew the bombs were powerful enough to cause a landslide. He had to bury most of the Japanese soldiers there so that everyone could escape safely. Otherwise, if the Japanese reacted, they would still be in danger.

After receiving the signal, Hu Hansi and his men began to retreat in an orderly manner, while continuing to use firepower to contain the Japanese troops. Takeda Sanli thought they were trying to escape, and led his soldiers in a more frantic pursuit, unknowingly leading the Japanese troops into the range of the bomb trap set by Lei Tao.

After Hu Hansi and the others retreated to a safe distance, Lei Tao, having confirmed that all the Japanese troops had entered the cliff, said viciously, "You little devils, go and meet your Yamata-no-Orochi!" He pressed the trigger on the bomb. "Boom, boom, boom!" Several deafening explosions instantly ripped through the air, the immense force causing the cliff to tremble violently. Some of the boulders on the mountain were loosened by the powerful explosion, and they subsequently tumbled down.
