The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 242: Bloody Battle Breaks the Cavalry Formation, Encountering a Sudden Agent Counterattack

After killing the Japanese sharpshooter, Lei Tao turned his gun and began searching for key Japanese targets through the scope. Soon, he locked onto a dark figure that was waving a command knife in the darkness and occasionally commanding the Japanese special forces to attack in Japanese...

Lei Tao took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing and heartbeat, and gently squeezed the trigger. With a "puff," the bullet, with powerful kinetic energy, shot out, accurately striking the Japanese officer in the head. The officer was killed instantly, and chaos immediately descended upon the Japanese ranks.

Seeing this, Xu Guangrong shouted, "Comrades, the time to counterattack has come! Charge!" The morale of the team members was greatly boosted, and they rushed out from behind the bunkers and launched a fierce charge towards the Japanese army. Lei Tao also stood up, holding his gun, and rushed towards the Japanese army while firing.

Under the joint attack of Lei Tao and his team members, the Japanese special forces team gradually could not resist and began to retreat.

At that moment, Sato Shinoo, leading a group of thirty or so Japanese cavalrymen who had managed to escape the minefield, swiftly swept in from the distant official road like a black whirlwind. The sound of their hooves shook the ground slightly, and the dust they kicked up spread into the night.

Sato Shinoo sat atop a tall black warhorse, his expression so gloomy it looked as if water could drip from it. He clutched his katana, the blade gleaming coldly in the moonlight. "Kill them all! Leave no one alive!" he roared in Japanese, his voice thick with rage and murderous intent.

Under the command of Sato Shinoo, the Japanese cavalry quickly split into two teams and surrounded Lei Tao and his men from both sides. They galloped wildly, drawing their sabers and waving them in the air, making bursts of whistling sounds.

Lei Tao's sharp eyes instantly detected the rapid approach of the Japanese cavalry. Furious, he shouted to Hu Hansi, who was nearby, "The Japanese cavalry are coming! Hu Hansi, come over and help me. Tie one end of the steel rope to the tree over there. Remember, it needs to be high enough to trip the cavalry. Don't hurt my horse! It's my precious horse!"

With that, he quickly pulled a bundle of steel rope from his backpack and grasped it firmly with both hands. His movements were as smooth as a whirlwind. He half-crouched, knees slightly bent, and wrapped one end of the rope twice around the base of the tree. Then, with a firm tug, he pulled the rope tight. Then, swiftly, he drew the dagger from his waist and cut off a section of the rope. With his hands, as nimble as a flying bird, he expertly tied a tight knot and used the dagger to trim off the excess rope, ensuring there was no loose thread or excess.

Hu Hansi looked puzzled and asked curiously, "Brother Lei, you said this is your horse?"

Lei Tao continued his work and retorted without looking up, "I've got them, they're mine! Once we wipe out this wave of damn Japanese cavalry, they'll belong to our 'Netherworld' team."

Hu Hansi scratched his head. Although he thought Lei Tao's idea was a bit bold, he didn't ask any more questions. He quickly took the other end of the steel rope and ran towards the designated tree. He stood firmly with his feet apart, wrapped the steel rope tightly around the tree trunk, and then pulled it tight with all his strength. After repeatedly confirming that it was secure, he shouted to Lei Tao, "Brother Lei, it's tied!" With a tactical roll, he hid behind a huge rock.

At this moment, Lei Tao also quickly hid behind a thick tree, and through the gaps between the branches, he closely watched the every move of the Japanese cavalry. He quickly checked the magazine of his rifle, confirmed that it was full, and pointed the muzzle at the Japanese cavalry in the front.

Under the command of Sato Shinoo, the Japanese cavalry charged fiercely, oblivious to the impending danger. The clatter of horse hooves resembled the beating of drums, sending dust flying from the ground. When a dozen or so Japanese cavalrymen, on their horses, first reached the steel rope, their horses, with their agile reflexes and nimble agility, unexpectedly leaped over it unscathed. However, the cavalrymen were not so lucky. Their tall stature caused them to trip over the steel rope, hidden in the darkness and stretched across the road.

The immense force of the impact instantly ripped the cavalrymen from their horses, sending them screaming into the air before plummeting to the ground, a scene of wailing echoing throughout the field. The cavalrymen behind, charging at such speed that they had no time to rein in their horses, many of them collided with their horses and fell directly into their fallen companions, instantly devolving into chaos.

Lei Tao keenly grasped the opportunity and tucked his VSS silent sniper rifle into the mysterious Bagua gyroscope space. Then, he instantly pulled out a Scorpion submachine gun. His eyes widened, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Fire freely, but don't hurt my horse!"

The team responded instantly. Hu Hansi was the first to emerge from cover, his rifle trained on the struggling Japanese cavalrymen who had fallen to the ground, firing accurately. Each pull of the trigger was accompanied by a gunshot, and bullets whizzed towards the enemy, sending the Japanese cavalrymen falling one after another.

Xu Guangrong flexibly shifted positions, using the debris on the battlefield as cover to fire at the Japanese cavalry who were trying to regroup in the chaos. His steady shooting, targeting enemies in key positions, prevented the Japanese cavalry from organizing an effective counterattack.

Lei Tao, holding his Scorpion submachine gun, charged into the Japanese cavalry like a tiger descending a mountain. He ran, pulling the trigger, the gun vibrating constantly as bullets rained down upon the enemy. The Scorpion's powerful firepower suppressed the surrounding Japanese cavalry, crushing them wherever it struck.

During the fierce exchange of fire, a Japanese cavalryman charged at Lei Tao, brandishing a saber. Quick-witted and quick-handed, Lei Tao dodged the saber attack with a sideways motion. He then aimed his rifle at the cavalryman and pulled the trigger without hesitation. "Da da da!" a burst of bullets erupted, instantly hitting the cavalryman several times and causing him to fall from his horse.

At this time, the battlefield was filled with smoke, gunshots, and screams. But Lei Tao and his team members did not retreat at all. Under their brave attack, the resistance of the Japanese cavalry became weaker and weaker, and they were gradually beaten to pieces.

At this moment, the special forces of the defeated Japanese special forces, with the cooperation of several ninja armed scouts, attacked Lei Tao and others again with MP35 submachine guns.
