The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 334: A desperate battle at dawn

Xu Keming fell heavily to the ground, his chest throbbing with pain. Even breathing felt like sharp glass shattering through his chest. But he knew the moment was a matter of life and death. He endured the pain and, with unwavering willpower, quickly rolled to a nearby bunker. His eyes searched the battlefield eagerly, and soon spotted the pistol that had fallen not far away. He reached out and grabbed the gun, gripping it tightly in his hand. He skillfully and eagerly changed the magazine. The sound of metal clashing was particularly clear in the tense battlefield.

Mutomura climbed to his feet, his face covered in dust and sweat, his eyes gleaming with madness. Without even a moment to brush off the dust, he lunged for the fallen submachine gun. Just as he was about to touch it, Xu Keming emerged from cover and opened fire. The bullet grazed Mutomura's arm, leaving a bloody streak, but he remained oblivious. He rolled, picked up the gun, and immediately unleashed a volley of bullets into Xu Keming's cover.

Bullets rained down crazily on Xu Keming's bunker, stirring up a cloud of debris and dust that made Xu Keming dare not show his head. Mu Tengcunshu immediately hid behind a big tree. At this moment, he found that his hand was getting more and more painful, so he put his submachine gun beside the tree.

He looked down and found that his right wrist was dislocated and the bones were twisted in a very strange way. He took a deep breath and held his right wrist tightly with his left hand. His arm trembled slightly due to pain and tension. He clenched his teeth, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and suddenly exerted force. With a crisp sound of "click", the dislocated wrist was reset.

On the front lines, the battle between Lei Tao and Uesugami Kazuya reached a stalemate. Though surrounded by four men, Uesugami Kazuya still fought stubbornly. He seized the opportunity while Liu Zishan was reloading and swung his sword. Liu Zishan quickly raised his gun to block the blow, but with a clang, the gun was nicked. Liu Zishan's arm went numb, and he could barely hold the gun.

Yi Guang, upon seeing this, immediately fired from the side, drawing Uesugi Kazuya's attention. Lei Tao seized this opportunity, grasping his Gurkha knife with both hands, leaped high, and slashed down at Uesugi Kazuya from above. Uesugi Kazuya parried with his katana, the two men locked in a stalemate, the veins on his arms throbbing with the force.

However, Uesugami Kazuya seemed preternaturally alert. Just as Chen Feiyang was about to close in, he keenly sensed movement behind him. Without hesitation, Uesugami Kazuya unleashed a powerful blow, kneeing Lei Tao in the stomach. Lei Tao's pupils constricted, and he instinctively released his grip on the knife to protect his abdomen. The immense force of the blow sent a sharp pain through his arm, and he was uncontrollably pushed away by Uesugami Kazuya, stumbling backward several steps.

Shangshan Heye took advantage of Lei Tao's retreat and, using the inertia of his turn, quickly spun his legs and unleashed a powerful whirlwind kick backwards. Yi Guang was concentrating on preparing to shoot again, completely unaware of Shangshan Heye's sudden counterattack. The kick struck Yi Guang's chest hard, and he groaned in pain. Like a kite with a broken string, he flew back several meters, and with a loud bang, he slammed heavily into the trunk of a large tree. His back rubbed violently against the rough bark, ripping his clothes and leaving streaks of blood. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his body slowly sliding down the trunk, and finally collapsed to the ground, powerless, raising a cloud of dust.

"Yi Guang!" Lei Tao roared, his eyes burning with anger and anxiety. His hands gripped his Gurkha knife tightly. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: kill Shangshan Kazuya and avenge Yi Guang!

Lei Tao charged at Uesugami Kazuya like a raging bull, reckless and reckless. His steps were heavy and rapid, but Uesugami Kazuya didn't flinch. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a fierce look in his eyes. He gripped his katana tightly with both hands, taking a defensive stance, ready to meet Lei Tao's frenzied attack.

Just as Lei Tao was about to reach Uesugami Kazuya, he leaped high, his Gurkha knife slashing through the air in a sharp arc before slashing down with immense force. Uesugami Kazuya quickly raised his knife to block the blow. There was a deafening clang, the sound of metal clashing, and sparks flew. The powerful impact numbed both men's arms, but Lei Tao didn't hesitate. Seizing the moment of contact between his knife and katana, he exerted force, swinging the knife sideways in an attempt to break Uesugami Kazuya's defense.

Kazuya Uesugami reacted quickly, swerving sideways and simultaneously launching a kick towards Lei Tao's abdomen. Lei Tao quickly withdrew his scimitar and blocked the kick with the blade. Kazuya Uesugami pressed forward, his katana raining down on Lei Tao. Lei Tao parried left and right, each block accompanied by the sound of metal clashing.

Meanwhile, Chen Feiyang and Liu Zishan quickly ran towards Yi Guang. Chen Feiyang lifted Yi Guang up and anxiously called out, "Yi Guang, wake up!" Yi Guang slowly opened his eyes, a trace of blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth. He said weakly, "Don't worry about me. Hurry... Help Brother Lei..."

Liu Zishan looked at Yi Guang's injured appearance, his heart filled with anger. He clenched the gun in his hand and rushed towards Shangshan Kazuya, shouting as he ran: "Shangshan Kazuya, give me your life!

Elsewhere, the battle between Xu Keming and Muto Muraki reached a fever pitch. Muto Muraki, rifle drawn, charged at Xu Keming, firing. Xu Keming ducked behind cover, quickly reloading his magazine. As Muto Muraki approached, he suddenly leaped to his feet and opened fire. The two men moved relentlessly across the battlefield, bullets streaking through the air and riddling the surrounding objects.

Xu Keming seized the moment when Mutomura's magazine was empty and rushed forward. Mutomura threw away his submachine gun, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and started a close combat with Xu Keming. The two men wrestled together, neither giving in, and exchanged punches and kicks. Mutomura threw a hook punch at Xu Keming's chin. Xu Keming dodged sideways and at the same time pushed Mutomura's abdomen with his knee. Mutomura blocked it with his hand and then kicked Xu Keming in the leg.

On the side of Li Shuiniu, Li Shuyang, and Meng Xiaoyu, the trapped Japanese agents were still making their final struggle. Suddenly, an agent rushed out from behind the cover and shot at Li Shuiniu. Li Shuiniu quickly lay down and fired back, killing the agent.

Meng Xiaoyu exploited the flexibility of his submachine gun, constantly shifting positions to suppress the enemy's firepower. While changing magazines, Li Shuiyang picked up a grenade from the ground, pulled the safety pin, and hurled it at the enemy. With a loud bang, the grenade exploded, killing and wounding many of the enemy. The remaining agents hid behind cover, not daring to emerge.

On the front lines, Lei Tao spotted Kazuya Uesugami's weakness and charged forward, slashing his katana with his Gurkha knife. Unarmed, Kazuya Uesugami's face was filled with terror. Seizing the opportunity, Lei Tao launched a powerful kick into Kazuya Uesugami's chest, knocking him to the ground. Liu Zishan and Chen Feiyang immediately surrounded him.

But just at this moment, a ninja was on a big tree in the dark behind Lei Tao and others. Seeing that Shang Shan He Ye was about to be captured alive, he took action. He quickly took out a smoke bomb with mustard added from his waist, threw the safety pin towards Lei Tao and others, and at the moment when the smoke spread rapidly, he jumped down from the tree. With the help of the impact, the moment he landed, he did several air jumps and rolls under the cover of the thick smoke, jumped into the circle of people, pulled Shang Shan He Ye and ran into the depths of the jungle. When Lei Tao found them, the two had already run into the depths of the jungle.

Lei Tao's eyes stung with tears streaming from the mustard smoke. Fighting the discomfort, he shouted, "Don't let them get away! Chase them!" He dashed in the direction where the ninja and Uesugi Kazuya had disappeared. Liu Zishan and Chen Feiyang quickly followed, covering their mouths and noses with their hands to try to reduce the irritation, but the choking continued, causing them to cough uncontrollably.

After entering the jungle, the light dimmed, and the ground was covered with thick fallen leaves and tangled tree roots, making pursuit more difficult. Lei Tao, with his keen observation, searched the ground for traces left by the ninja and Kazuya Uesugi. Suddenly, he noticed traces of trampled leaves ahead, and he chased in that direction.
