The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 225: Ancient Tomb Terror: Cleverly luring the enemy into a trap and fighting against the pup

Everyone walked down the stairs carefully. On the walls on both sides of the stairs, there were some strange symbols engraved, which looked even more mysterious in the dim light.

As he was walking, Hu Hansi suddenly stopped, his eyes drawn to a passage of words on the wall of the passage. He took a closer look, his face slightly changed, and he shouted, "Brother Lei, come and take a look!"

Everyone gathered around, only to see it was an epitaph. Hu Hansi frowned and read it word for word: "Mr. Li's name was Meng. He was a great general under the King of Rebellion. He fought in many battles, achieving great success. Later..."

"I didn't expect that this was the tomb of a general under Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion." Hu Hansi exclaimed.

After listening to this, Lei Tao thought for a moment and then said, "It seems that this passage is related to King Chuang's forces. Perhaps there are some secrets hidden in this cemetery, which may be the key to our escape."

At this moment, a faint sound of wind came from the front, as if something was moving quickly in the darkness. Everyone immediately became nervous and raised their weapons.

"Everyone be careful, something is coming." Lei Tao reminded in a low voice.

In the darkness, several dark figures approached rapidly. Once they could see clearly, they discovered they were a flock of enormous bats, each as big as a washbasin, their wings flapping as they emitted a foul odor.

"Shoot!" Lei Tao gave the order decisively.

Everyone immediately opened fire, the sound of gunfire echoing through the corridor. The bats, startled by the gunfire, swarmed even more frantically. A bat charged towards Fan Xiaoyu, causing her to scream and quickly duck.

Seeing this, Liu Zishan rushed over and knocked the bat down with the butt of his rifle. "Doctor Fan, are you okay?" he asked with concern.

Fan Xiaoyu's face turned pale and he shook his head: "I'm fine, thank you."

After everyone's strenuous resistance, the swarm of bats was finally repelled. But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard heavy footsteps in the distance, accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, as if some large creature was approaching.

"What is this thing?" Hu Hansi swallowed nervously.

Lei Tao gripped the gun tightly in his hand and said in a deep voice: "No matter what it is, we must be prepared."

As the sound drew nearer, everyone finally got a clear look at the person coming. A gigantic humanoid machine, its body covered in rust, slowly approached, clutching a massive, long sword that gleamed with a cold light.

"Is this... a mechanical puppet?" Lei Tao frowned, an ominous premonition rising in his heart.

Before they could react, the mechanical puppet had already raised its long sword high and slashed at everyone. Lei Tao shouted, "Scatter!" Everyone quickly dodged in all directions, and the long sword slashed on the ground, splashing a shower of sparks.

"This thing is too powerful. How do we deal with it?" Liu Zishan asked anxiously.

Lei Tao dodged the puppet's attacks while carefully observing its movements. He found that although the puppet's movements were strong and powerful, they were very slow, and its joints seemed to be its weak points.

"Everyone concentrate your firepower and attack its joints!" Lei Tao shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone shot at the puppet's joints. The bullets struck the puppet, sending up rusty rust. The puppet seemed to be stimulated, its movements becoming even more frantic.

During the fierce battle, everyone gradually discovered that although the power of the mechanical puppet was strong, it was not completely defenseless due to their flexible skills and close cooperation.

However, just as they were engaged in a fierce battle with the mechanical puppets, a sudden shout of Japanese soldiers came from the other end of the passage. Everyone's heart sank, having never expected the Japanese to catch up so quickly.

"Damn it! The Japanese are coming!" Hu Hansi cursed softly, "What should we do now?"

Lei Tao looked at the mechanical puppet in front of him, then at the Japanese army gradually approaching behind him, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's avoid its sharp edge first. You hide, I will lure the Japanese devils over here and let them taste the power of the mechanical puppet. This puppet moves slowly, and the Japanese army will not be able to detect it for a while. When it gets close, we will attack from the dark and catch them off guard."

Hu Hansi's face was full of worry: "Brother Lei, it's too dangerous, how about I go instead?"

"Don't argue, it's settled." Lei Tao said firmly, "Find some cover and protect me."

After saying that, Lei Tao crouched down and quietly moved along the side of the passage towards the direction of the Japanese army. Hu Hansi and the others quickly hid in the boulders and depressions on both sides of the passage, holding their guns and staring closely at the direction where the Japanese army was about to appear.

Lei Tao nimbly moved through the shadows. When he was close enough to the Japanese, he took a deep breath, suddenly stood up, and fired several shots at them. The Japanese soldiers were caught off guard by this sudden attack and were instantly thrown into disarray.

"There are enemies!" the Japanese squad leader shouted at the top of his lungs, "Chase them!"

Lei Tao fought and retreated, deliberately leading the Japanese troops closer to the puppet. The Japanese soldiers thought Lei Tao was alone, and their arrogance became more and more arrogant, chasing him relentlessly.

As the puppet approached, Lei Tao dodged behind a nearby stone pillar. Before the Japanese soldiers could react, the puppet raised its long sword and slashed down at them. One Japanese soldier, unable to dodge, was struck by the sword, letting out a shrill cry.

The Japanese squad leader's eyes widened in horror as he shouted, "What kind of monster is this! Shoot it and kill it!"

The Japanese soldiers raised their guns and fired. The bullets hit the mechanical puppet, splashing rust, but causing limited damage. The mechanical puppet was enraged and moved even more frantically, charging through the Japanese army.

At this moment, the people hiding in the shadows seized the opportunity and opened fire. Hu Hansi took the lead and fired several shots at the Japanese squad leader, who quickly dodged.

Fan Xiaoyu and several other young women hid behind a boulder. Though frightened, she mustered her courage and picked up a fallen pistol. She gripped the gun with both hands, her arm trembling slightly with nervousness, and pulled the trigger. Two shots rang out, and one of the Japanese soldiers' legs gave way, and he fell to the ground with a scream. Another soldier, startled by the sudden counterattack, quickly charged again with ferocity. The young women around Fan Xiaoyu also mustered their courage, picking up nearby fallen rocks and hurling them at the soldier. The soldier was struck in the calf by the rock, falling to his knees. Seizing the opportunity, Fan Xiaoyu raised her pistol, pointed it at the prostrate soldier, closed her eyes, and pulled the trigger again. Two more shots rang out. The soldier's body jolted violently, and he slowly fell to the ground.

Liu Zishan endured the pain in his arm and attacked from the side. Holding an M1911 pistol, he fired two shots, knocking two Japanese soldiers to the ground...

For a moment, the passage was filled with the sounds of gunfire, explosions, and the roar of mechanical puppets. The Japanese army was attacked from both sides and was in a desperate situation.
