The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 394: CQB Demonstrates Power, Fights Guns and Ricoches to Defeat Japanese Pirates

Lei Tao arced through the air, steadily passing through the warehouse window and leaping inside. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he quickly stored the Scorpion submachine gun in the Bagua Gyro space, then pulled out the modified 79 submachine gun, loaded it with a 45-round high-capacity magazine in the blink of an eye, and then deftly installed the tactical silencer, his movements smooth and fluid. At the same time, he conveniently tucked his MP443 tactical pistol, loaded with 18 rounds of tactical armor-piercing ammunition, to his waist for use.

Lei Tao quickly scanned the warehouse, which was filled with goods, forming a natural shelter. He quickly dodged behind a pile of wooden boxes, half-crouched, pointed his gun toward the window, held his breath, and waited quietly for the Japanese to pursue him.

Not long after, several Japanese soldiers crouched and carefully climbed into the warehouse through the window. They fanned out, guns drawn, eyes alert, and constantly scanning the surroundings.

"Be careful, that guy must be hiding in there, everyone be careful!" A Japanese sergeant lowered his voice and gave orders nervously.

Lei Tao took a deep breath. With his mastery of CQB indoor assault tactics, he abruptly rose from cover and fired accurately from his modified Type 79 submachine gun. The silencer took effect, leaving only a faint "puff puff" sound. The two Japanese soldiers in the lead were hit in the vitals before they could react. With a muffled groan, they collapsed.

"Enemy attack! Seek cover!" the Japanese sergeant shouted in terror. The remaining Japanese soldiers panicked, scrambling for cover and firing back frantically. Bullets whizzed off the wooden boxes, sending sawdust flying.

Lei Tao quickly crouched down, using a wooden crate for cover. He took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on a narrow passage in the warehouse. Suddenly, he leaped to his feet and dashed toward the passage like a cheetah. As he ran, he cleverly used the cargo on either side of the passage, sometimes dodging bullets by leaning sideways, sometimes using the cargo's rebound to change his trajectory.

A Japanese soldier attempted to intercept him at the entrance, but Lei Tao didn't slow down. With only a few steps to go, he slammed his left foot into the ground, leaping high into the air and performing a sideways flip. Simultaneously, his modified 79 submachine gun unleashed a continuous stream of flames, unleashing a barrage of 7.62mm pistol rounds precisely at the Japanese soldier. The soldier, unable to dodge, was struck multiple times and fell to the ground, dead.

"Is this guy a human or a ghost?" another Japanese soldier shouted in a trembling voice while hiding behind the bunker.

After dispatching the enemy at the entrance, Lei Tao continued forward without stopping. He reached a set of shelves and scrambled up along their edge, nimbly climbing like a monkey. Standing on top, he surveyed the warehouse and spotted several Japanese soldiers hiding in the shadows.

Lei Tao squatted down, adjusted his breathing, and using the shelves as a support, began to shoot at the Japanese soldiers below. He used short bursts of fire, and every time he pulled the trigger, a Japanese soldier screamed.

However, the Japanese firepower remained fierce, and Lei Tao realized he couldn't stay there for long. He spotted several Japanese soldiers huddled in a narrow cargo aisle, attempting to organize a counterattack. Acting decisively, Lei Tao pulled out an M1 grenade from his Bagua gyroscope, unscrewed the safety pin with his thumb, and mentally counted "one, two, three." After a three-second delay, he flicked his arm, sending the grenade flying in a parabolic arc toward the aisle where the Japanese soldiers were stationed.

"Be careful of the grenade!" a Japanese soldier shouted in terror. But it was too late. The grenade exploded in the air above the aisle, sending shrapnel flying everywhere with its immense force. The Japanese soldiers had nowhere to hide, their screams echoing as they were instantly engulfed by the blast and shrapnel.

After dealing with this wave of enemies, Lei Tao was about to move to another position when his keen intuition made him realize that several Japanese soldiers were hiding in a blind spot and trying to attack him. Lei Tao quickly lay down, and at the moment he lay down, several bullets flew past his back.

Lei Tao lay prone on the ground, rapidly analyzing the situation. He knew he couldn't rise rashly. The enemy was hiding in a blind spot, his field of vision was limited, and direct fire was difficult. He decided to use his pistol-fighting skills to launch a desperate counterattack. He supported himself with his left hand, holding the gun in his right, and rolled to the left at breakneck speed. Throughout the roll, his arms remained steady like a machine, the muzzle of the gun always pointed in the direction the enemy might appear.

After rolling to the warehouse pillar, Lei Tao used it as a makeshift shelter, half-crouching, his eyes observing the enemy's movements through the gap between the pillar and the shelf. His index finger rested lightly on the trigger, ready to shoot at any moment.

Suddenly, a Japanese soldier poked his head out from a blind spot and attempted to fire. Lei Tao reacted with remarkable speed. The instant the enemy's head appeared, he jerked his wrist, tilted the muzzle of his gun 45 degrees, and pulled the trigger. The bullet whizzed out, striking the rock wall ahead, ricocheting off, and striking the Japanese soldier at a treacherous angle. With a scream of agony, the bullet struck the Japanese soldier's shoulder, and the gun fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the other Japanese soldiers fired at the pillar where Lei Tao was standing. The dense barrage of bullets hit the pillar, making a "bang bang" sound. Lei Tao took advantage of the gap in the enemy's shooting and rolled again, landing behind a wooden box. He leaned against the box and quickly replaced the magazine.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Tao thrust his pistol out of the wooden box and fired a shot diagonally upward. The bullet struck a steel beam in the ceiling, ricocheting and bouncing towards another Japanese soldier hiding in a blind spot. The soldier, unprepared for the bullet to come from this angle, was hit in the leg and fell to the ground in agony, struggling.

Lei Tao didn't give the enemy a chance to breathe. He quickly stood up and used the wooden box to perform pistol fighting. He pushed the ground with his feet, swaying his body quickly from side to side, holding the MP443 tactical pistol firmly in his right hand, and his wrist flexed to accurately adjust the shooting angle with the swaying of his body. The muzzle of the gun kept changing direction, and the gunshots continued.

He relied on his experience and intuition to target blind spots where the enemy might be hiding, using walls and shelves to create ricochets. Seeing a Japanese soldier in a blind spot on the right, he instantly turned right, bent his knees to lower his center of gravity, and used his wrist to turn to the right, firing at the angle between the wall and the shelf, where the ricocheted bullet hit the Japanese soldier.

There were constant sounds of gunfire and ricochets in the warehouse. The Japanese soldiers were dizzy and unable to fight back.

With the last Japanese soldier killed by a ricochet, the warehouse temporarily regained its composure. Lei Tao knew the Japanese military police could arrive at any moment, so he had to hurry and find a way out. Otherwise, if the Japanese military police were to harass him, he might be forced to launch tomorrow's raid alone.

He quickly searched the Japanese corpses for grenades and simultaneously pulled out a high-explosive, remote-controlled bomb from the Bagua gyroscope's space. The bomb was a flat, oval-shaped metal shell, densely packed with wires, indicator lights, and an antenna.

Lei Tao determined that the warehouse entrance was the best ambush point. He crouched and ran to the middle of the warehouse entrance, more than ten meters away, dug a hole with a dagger, and found a box of nails. He took off the shirts of the Japanese soldiers, spread the nails on the clothes, wrapped the bomb in the middle, and tied it tightly with a rope.

He then placed the wrapped bomb in the pit and covered it with worn-out planks and discarded sacks, leaving only the wires and receiver exposed. He then disguised the scene with Japanese corpses and scattered cargo near the entrance and laid trip mines.

Everything was ready. Lei Tao retreated to a hidden corner, held the remote control tightly, and stared at the entrance.

Just as he finished placing the bomb, the distant roar of Japanese vehicles became clearer, the sounds of wheels rolling on the ground and the shouts of soldiers intertwined, getting closer and closer. Lei Tao's heart tightened, knowing that he had little time left. He quickly got up and hid, preparing to use the bomb to eliminate a wave of enemy reinforcements and then evacuate in the chaos.

At this moment, Scarface Li wandered around and found the warehouse according to the sound of gunfire, and went around to the back door of the warehouse to enter. He saw several bodies of Japanese soldiers lying on the ground, so he whispered, "Brother Lei, are you in there? The Japanese reinforcements have arrived, we have to find a way out quickly!"
