Chapter 156: Makeup and Forced Attack to Break Out of the City
After a night, Lei Tao went out early the next morning and got a few sets of Japanese military uniforms for everyone to change into. He threw those uniforms on the ground carelessly.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the Japanese uniforms on the ground, their faces filled with surprise and reluctance. One hunter frowned and shouted indignantly, "What are you doing? Are these Japanese uniforms meant for human beings? We are sworn enemies, and asking us to wear their clothes is humiliating! I won't do it!"
Lei Tao sighed helplessly and said seriously, "I know you feel uncomfortable, and I wouldn't want to touch these devils' things. But we have an important mission now. Now that the county town is blocked by the devils, we have to find a way to get out of the city. Wearing this outfit, it will be easier for us to get close to the target and catch them off guard. This is just a temporary measure. If you can't figure this out, you will die sooner or later under the encirclement of the Japanese army."
When everyone heard Lei Tao's words, a complex expression crossed their faces: anger, resentment, yet a faint sense that what he said made sense. The hunter who had loudly objected earlier opened his mouth, as if wanting to argue a little, but couldn't find the right words. He could only swallow his reluctance, his brows still furrowed tightly, and his knuckles were white from the force of his grip on the corner of his clothes.
The leading young man also had a conflicted look on his face. He bit his lip and hesitated for a moment before saying, "We understand the logic, but it's really hard to overcome this hurdle in our hearts. Wearing this little devil's uniform feels like betraying our own people. If the villagers see us, they'll definitely poke me in the back and scold me."
Lei Tao's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and his tone became more solemn: "I understand your concerns, but I can't care so much now. Our ultimate goal is to drive the devils out of our territory and avenge our dead compatriots. Now that the county town is blocked, conventional methods can't get out at all. This Japanese military uniform is our best cover at the moment. As long as we can successfully get out and I complete the plan, all the sacrifices and all the grievances will be worth it. If you can't save face or act impulsively, then you can stay in the county town and wait to be surrounded and suppressed by the Japanese army.
After changing into Japanese military uniforms and grabbing their weapons, they walked out of the warehouse and swaggered towards the county gate. The Japanese soldier guarding the gate shouted in Japanese, "Stop, command!" Lei Tao was about to speak to him in Japanese when a young man raised his M1911 pistol from his waist and opened fire at the Japanese soldiers guarding the gate.
The heavy silence was suddenly shattered by a sharp gunshot. "Bang!" The sound resonated violently in the air. The Japanese soldier's face was instantly frozen in shock and bewilderment. His eyes suddenly widened, his pupils contracted sharply, and his body fell backward uncontrollably, hitting the ground hard, raising a cloud of dust.
Lei Tao's heart suddenly sank when he saw this scene, and he secretly said to himself, "Not good!" His muscles instantly tensed up, and he used the Iron Mountain Leaning technique from the eighth level boxing technique. He rushed sideways and slammed into the Japanese soldier who was about to pull the bolt to load the gun. The soldier was hit by this sudden huge force, and the whole person flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the stone of the city wall and falling. The whole person bled from all seven orifices and died instantly.
Without a moment's pause, Lei Tao quickly pulled a high-explosive grenade and a smoke bomb from his belt. Pulling the safety pin, he bent his legs slightly, gathering strength, and then leaped upward. His arms arced through the air, hurling the high-explosive grenade and smoke bomb toward the city gate tower. The grenade and smoke bomb tumbled through the air, whistling toward their target.
The grenade exploded first at the edge of the city gate tower, its immense force sending a gust of wind that knocked several nearby Japanese soldiers over, some even flinging them off the city walls. Bricks flew everywhere, sending up billowing clouds of smoke and dust. A smoke bomb exploded shortly afterward, sending a grayish-white haze swiftly spreading across a large area of the city gate tower.
Lei Tao took advantage of the chaos and quickly rushed towards the city gate, crouching low. His eyes searched the smoke for his target and path, his steps light and quick, always alert for any enemy. Meanwhile, the Japanese troops inside the city gate, startled by the explosion and smoke, fell into a brief panic, but soon officers began to organize resistance.
Lei Tao shouted, "Change of plan! Take advantage of the Japanese's confusion and break out!" He drew two Scorpion submachine guns and ran, firing at the Japanese. Suddenly, flames shot out from the muzzles like swift, fiery snakes, and bullets whizzed toward the Japanese. The Japanese were caught off guard by this sudden attack, but they quickly reacted and began to organize a counterattack.
Encouraged by Lei Tao, the crowd rallied and engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese. The young hunters, familiar with the terrain, skillfully used the surrounding cover to attack the Japanese. Some hid behind the battlements of the city wall, leaning out to fire; others, at street corners, took advantage of the Japanese's inattention and threw a grenade.
Grenades exploded among the Japanese soldiers, flames shot up into the sky, and the Japanese soldiers screamed in pain. But the Japanese soldiers continued to pour in from all parts of the city, their numbers were large, and their firepower was getting more and more fierce.
As Lei Tao approached the city gate, a Japanese soldier rushed out from behind a nearby bunker and stabbed at him with a bayonet. Lei Tao dodged the stab easily and kicked the Japanese soldier in the back of the neck with a side kick, knocking him to the ground. Lei Tao raised his Scorpion submachine gun and fired three bursts at the Japanese soldier lying on the ground. The bullets hit the target accurately, and the Japanese soldier's body twitched slightly before he stopped moving.
At this moment, two more Japanese soldiers rushed forward with their Type 38 rifles equipped with bayonets. Lei Tao quickly adjusted the muzzle of his rifle and pulled the trigger. Bullets rained down on the two Japanese soldiers. The two Japanese soldiers stared wide-eyed in horror, their bodies repeatedly retreating under the powerful firepower. Their bodies were instantly stained red with blood, and they fell heavily to the ground.
Lei Tao watched as two Japanese soldiers manned machine guns, their flames spurting out like the Grim Reaper's scythe, furiously slicing through everything around them. Lei Tao's eyes flashed, and fearlessly, he executed an S-shaped maneuver. His body, like a phantom, swiftly shifted left and right, weaving through the hail of bullets. Each movement was perfectly timed, as the Japanese machine gun bullets grazed his body, sending up plumes of dust.
While dodging, Lei Tao raised the two Scorpion submachine guns in his hands, aimed at the Japanese machine gunners, and pulled the trigger. The Scorpion submachine guns roared, and bullets poured out like a rainstorm. Before the two Japanese machine gunners could adjust the muzzles of the guns, they were hit by Lei Tao's bullets. After a convulsion, they fell beside the machine guns.
Lei Tao knew that such a stalemate would be extremely disadvantageous to his side. While shooting, he observed the surrounding environment, looking for an opportunity to break out. Suddenly, he found a weak spot in the wall on the side of the city gate, which seemed to be able to be blown open.
Lei Tao shouted, "Break out to the wall to the left of the city gate. I'll blast my way through!" He then pulled out several specially made high-explosive grenades from his waist and hurled them at the wall. The grenades arced through the air and landed precisely at the foot of the wall.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" After several loud explosions, a gap was blown open in the city wall, bricks and stones fell one after another, and a cloud of dust rose up. Lei Tao shouted, "Now is the time to charge out!" The crowd rushed towards the gap like tigers, fighting hard to break through the hail of bullets. Although the Japanese army tried their best to stop them, they relied on the powerful firepower of Thompson submachine guns to suppress them. Finally, they successfully rushed out of the county town and disappeared into the wilderness outside the city, leaving behind only a smoke-filled battlefield and the angry shouts of the Japanese army.
