Chapter 131 Raid on the Japanese Military Police
Chapter 131 Raid on the Japanese Military Police
In the Japanese military police cells, a diverse group of people were held. There were Nationalist soldiers, trapped but maintaining their military bearing; Eighth Route Army soldiers, steadfast and radiating an indomitable spirit; bandits, somewhat rough and savage but with an inherent bravery; and many frightened civilians.
Lei Tao stormed the gendarmerie with a clear purpose. He wore dark, practical clothing and wielded a modified Type 81 rifle, its barrel gleaming coldly in the dim light. Arriving near the gendarmerie, he concealed himself, observing the patrol's patterns. As a patrol passed by, he employed a CBQ attack, closing in with the agility and stealth of a cheetah. Suddenly, with lightning speed, he covered the rearmost soldier's mouth with one hand, and with his other, he stabbed him in the vitals with a precise, silent dagger, effectively dispatching him. He then quickly dragged the body to a shadowy area, then used the same technique to dispatch several more patrolmen.
At this moment, alarms blared, and Japanese military police poured out from all directions. Undaunted, Lei Tao, armed with his modified Type 81 rifle, launched a fierce attack. He displayed remarkable skill, rapidly switching between his pistols and firing rapidly. The pistols roared in his hands, each shot hitting its mark, and the Japanese policemen continued to fall.
The military police captain brandished a katana, rushed towards Lei Tao with a ferocious look on his face, and shouted in Japanese. Lei Tao put away the gun in his hand, took a deep breath, stood firmly on his feet, and took the starting stance of traditional Chinese martial arts. The military police captain swung his sword first, and the wind from the sword whistled. Lei Tao dodged to the side and easily avoided it, and at the same time quickly punched the captain in the ribs. The captain felt pain and turned around and slashed horizontally. Lei Tao leaned back and the blade grazed his nose. He stood up with a somersault and kicked the captain's wrist, and the katana flew out of his hand.
Furious and humiliated, the captain lunged forward, attempting to restrain Lei Tao with judo techniques. Undeterred, Lei Tao employed traditional Chinese martial arts grappling techniques, engaging the captain in close combat. The two engaged in a fierce exchange of blows and kicks, their fight agonizing for a moment. In the ferocious struggle, Lei Tao seized an opening, drew a throwing knife from his waist, and with a powerful thrust, the knife, like a streak of cold light, pierced the captain's head. The captain's eyes widened as he slowly collapsed in disbelief.
Several Japanese military police attempted to hide in the dark and shoot, but Lei Tao's keen sense of danger detected him and he dodged the fatal bullets with a tactical jump and roll. At this time, two Japanese military police threw grenades at him. Lei Tao saw the flying grenades and kicked one away in the air. Then he jumped and rolled, got up and hid in a bunker. The other grenade exploded instantly, making Lei Tao's ears buzz. Lei Tao raised his modified Type 81 assault rifle, placed it on the edge of the bunker, quickly locked onto the two Japanese soldiers, pulled the trigger, and shot them dead.
After killing the two Japanese military police, Lei Tao quickly retrieved a grenade and a stun grenade from his Bagua spinning top. He took a deep breath, gripped the grenade tightly, and used the surrounding terrain to calculate the angle and distance of his throw. He briefly held one grenade in his hand, adjusted his stance, and with a powerful swing of his arm, the grenade arced through the air, flying toward the approximate location of the Japanese military police's bunker. Then, using the same motion, he threw the stun grenade.
Just as the grenade and stun grenade were about to land, Lei Tao executed another tactical leap. His body tensed, his legs exerted force, and he leaped high, leaping several meters to the side. Simultaneously, the explosion of the grenade sent a burst of fire and blast skyward, its powerful impact sending nearby sand, rocks, and debris flying. The stun grenade also exploded with a powerful, resounding roar, plunging the area into a momentary state of chaos and deafness.
Taking advantage of the explosion, Lei Tao quickly changed the magazine of his modified Type 81 assault rifle, ensuring it was in optimal combat condition. Crouching low, he used the smoke and dust from the explosion as cover as he stalked toward the Japanese military police bunker. His steps were light and swift, testing his surroundings with each step, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings for possible enemies.
When he was close enough, Lei Tao heard the movement of Japanese soldiers behind the bunker. He stopped, squatted, and drew a dagger from his waist. He pressed his body against the edge of the bunker and slowly leaned his head out to observe. He saw a Japanese soldier frantically checking the surroundings. Lei Tao seized the opportunity and rolled suddenly from one side of the bunker to the other side, close to the Japanese soldier. Before the Japanese soldier could react, Lei Tao quickly stood up and stabbed the Japanese soldier's throat with his dagger. The Japanese soldier's eyes widened, a weak sound came from his throat, and then he fell down.
Lei Tao continued to clear out the remaining Japanese military police. He moved flexibly between the bunkers, sometimes shooting accurately with a rifle, and sometimes fighting in close combat with a dagger. With his agility and rich combat experience, he gradually wiped out this force of Japanese military police.
The prisoners in the Japanese military police cell had long heard the gunfire outside the military police unit and were agitated. The two Japanese guards, hiding in a corner, aimed their rifles at the door, attempting to deliver a fatal blow to the attackers. As Lei Tao rushed to the cell door and opened it, the two soldiers immediately opened fire. In this critical moment, Lei Tao, relying on his instinctive sense of danger and his extraordinary physical reflexes, twisted his body in an extremely strange position, allowing the bullets to fly past him almost directly. Almost immediately, he quickly drew his M1911 pistol, holding it steady with both hands, his eyes gleaming with cold determination. Without hesitation, he fired at the two Japanese soldiers, the bullets from the magazine pouring out like a torrential rain, instantly riddling them of sieves.
Lei Tao shouted, "Everyone in the cell, get out of the way!" Then, after replacing the magazine in his pistol, he raised his M1911 and aimed it at the locks of the cell doors. Bang, bang, bang! The locks shattered one by one with a few shots. The Nationalist soldiers rushed out first, quickly getting dressed. An officer saluted Lei Tao, "Thank you for rescuing us. See you later!" The Eighth Route Army soldiers also filed out without hesitation. One soldier shook Lei Tao's hand, "Comrade, we'll remember your kindness!" The bandits shouted, "Brothers, you're so loyal!" Civilians, weeping, supported each other as they fled the gendarmerie.
