Chapter 404: Gunfire Intertwined: Life and Death Fighting on Multiple Fronts
Seeing this, the remaining guards intensified their attack. Lei Tao moved nimbly, dodging the bayonets coming from all directions like a ghost, while keenly searching for the enemy's weaknesses. He spotted the gap between two guards and rushed in like an arrow, accurately deflecting one guard's attack with his bayonet and then kicking the other to the ground.
Before he could stand firm, Ando Yamano swung his sword with a cold glow and slashed at him again. Lei Tao quickly raised his bayonet to block, but there was a loud "clang" sound, sparks flew everywhere, and the huge impact made his arm numb. However, Lei Tao had no intention of retreating. He cleverly took advantage of the force of Ando Yamano's attack, leaned back, and kicked Ando Yamano in the lower abdomen. Ando Yamano groaned and staggered back a few steps. Lei Tao took the opportunity to turn around and threw the bayonet in his hand like a javelin at one of the guards. The bayonet instantly penetrated the guard's chest and nailed him firmly to the wall.
At this point, only three guards and Ando Yamano were left in the house. Ando Yamano steadied himself, staring fiercely at Lei Tao, and roared at the remaining guards, "Go together, kill him!" The three guards formed a triangle, one on the left, one on the right, and one in front, charging at Lei Tao with rifles equipped with Type 38 bayonets, while Ando Yamano followed behind with a saber, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
As Lei Tao watched the rapidly approaching enemy, he suddenly swung his right hand back (pulling an MP433 pistol from the Bagua spinning top). With lightning-fast movements, he quickly cocked the bolt, chambered the rounds, released the safety, and then rapidly fired a shot forward, left, and right. "Bang, bang, bang!" Three gunshots instantly shattered the suffocating tension in the room. Lei Tao's movements were so swift they were almost invisible. Even as the gunshots echoed through the room, three guards collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from their chests and foreheads.
Ando Yamano seized the opportunity, raising his saber and slashing at Lei Tao's back with all his might. Lei Tao, keenly aware of the wind behind him, rolled forward with a swift motion, and Ando Yamano's saber struck the ground, leaving a deep cut. Lei Tao quickly stood up and turned to face Ando Yamano. At this moment, Ando Yamano lunged forward again, slashing down with his saber. Lei Tao raised his MP433 and fired at Ando Yamano, but was unexpectedly blocked by his saber. A clang of sparks flew. Lei Tao took the opportunity to quickly step back, creating distance, and sneered, "You damned devil, you really have some skills. I'll play with you then." He deliberately made a beautiful gun dance with his pistol, then quickly sheathed the pistol into the Bagua Top Spinner and produced two sharp daggers. In the blink of an eye, the two daggers were firmly in his hands.
Lei Tao held a dagger in each hand, his eyes instantly sharp as an eagle's, locking onto Ando Yamaye. A flicker of surprise flashed across Ando Yamaye's face, but it was quickly replaced by ferocity. He brandished his saber once more, whirring like a tiger descending a mountain, charging towards Lei Tao, attempting to slay him in one fell swoop.
Lei Tao did not retreat but advanced, rushing towards Ando Shanye. At the moment of approaching, he leaned his body slightly to the left, cleverly avoiding the edge of the saber by a hair's breadth, and at the same time, the dagger in his left hand pierced Ando Shanye's ribs like a poisonous snake out of a hole. Ando Shanye reacted very quickly, and his body quickly retracted, and Lei Tao's attack missed. Then, Lei Tao's right dagger slashed upwards from bottom to top, aiming directly at Ando Shanye's throat. Ando Shanye hurriedly lowered the saber, and with a "clang", the dagger and saber collided violently, splashing dazzling sparks. Lei Tao took advantage of the gap when Ando Shanye was resisting and kicked him in the chest. Ando Shanye was kicked back a few steps, but he quickly stabilized his body and attacked again with great momentum.
This time, Ando Yamano changed his tactics, his swordplay becoming more steady, each strike carrying immense force, an attempt to overpower Lei Tao with his immense power. Lei Tao, with his nimble form and swift reflexes, weaved through the flashes of swords like a fish in water, searching for Ando Yamano's weaknesses. The two exchanged blows, the battle entering a fierce stage.
Suddenly, Ando Yamano feinted, pretending to lunge forward, but in reality, he reversed course mid-swing, swinging his blade sideways and sweeping across Lei Tao's waist. Seeing through his ruse, Lei Tao leaped back, his entire body as light as a swallow, deftly avoiding the fatal blow. Landing, Lei Tao rushed towards Ando Yamano without pause. As he closed in, he simultaneously launched a fierce attack with his daggers in both hands. Ando Yamano's saber clashed with Lei Tao's dagger, emitting a series of crisp, dense sounds.
At that moment, the sound of gunfire outside intensified, resembling the clatter of frying beans. Scarface Li and his men were leading a fierce assault on the Japanese troops guarding the perimeter of the Japanese headquarters. Scarface Li, armed with a double-barreled pistol, nimbly moved through the ruins of the streets. Sometimes he crouched and advanced quickly, sometimes he used the rubble for cover, firing relentlessly at the Japanese positions. With his eagle-like eyes, he aimed precisely at the Japanese soldiers, pulled the trigger, and with two sharp shots, two Japanese soldiers fell.
Meng Xiaoyu was among the troops, calmly firing her M1911 pistol while keeping a keen eye on the surrounding battle. She zeroed in on a Japanese soldier about to throw a grenade, quickly moving her feet and firing repeatedly as she ran. Several bullets accurately struck the soldier, and the grenade exploded in his hand, killing several others nearby.
On the other side, Sun Jinhua led several village girls with superb marksmanship to form a sniper team. They were light and agile, and quickly occupied a slightly higher building ruins. Taking advantage of this unique terrain, they launched long-range precision strikes on the Japanese army. Sun Jinhua lay on the ground, holding the Type 38 rifle she had picked up tightly in her hand, her eyes through the sight, calmly and attentively searching for the target. She locked onto an officer who was waving a command knife and shouting loudly to command the Japanese army to resist. Sun Jinhua took a deep breath, slowly adjusted her breathing, calmed her heartbeat, and lightly placed her finger on the trigger. "Bang!" After the crisp gunshot, the Japanese officer's body shook violently, and the command knife in his hand fell with a "clang", and he slowly fell to the ground. The surrounding Japanese soldiers panicked and looked for cover to hide.
While observing the battlefield, Sun Jinhua shouted to the trusted girls around her, "Sisters, remember to hide yourselves and target the Japanese who pose the greatest threat to us to relieve some of the pressure on our brothers!" The girls nodded and continued to look for the next target with concentration. The rifles in their hands kept firing, and each gunshot was accompanied by the screams or panic of the Japanese army, which effectively tied down the Japanese army's firepower and provided strong support for the attack of Scarface Li and others.
In the mountainous area, Tang Zhangshan's battle with the Japanese army also entered a critical moment. Although the Japanese reinforcements were caught off guard, they relied on their tenacious resistance to hold out, and Tang Zhangshan's troops were locked in a stalemate. Carefully observing the battlefield, Tang Zhangshan observed that the Japanese firepower was concentrated in the front, while the flank defenses were relatively weak. Acting decisively, he selected several agile guerrillas and bandits to form an assault team, preparing to outflank the Japanese army.
Tang Zhangshan whispered to the assault team, "We will quietly go around to the side in a while. When I give the order, everyone will throw grenades together, and then quickly launch a charge. We must disrupt their position." The team members nodded one after another, their eyes revealing determination and courage. Under the cover of the woods, the assault team carefully moved towards the flank of the Japanese army. Just as they were about to approach the Japanese fortifications, a Japanese patrolman spotted them and shouted loudly. Tang Zhangshan knew that the plan had been exposed, and he made a quick decision and shouted, "Go!" The team members threw grenades one after another. With a few loud "booms", the grenades exploded in the Japanese positions, thick smoke billowed, and the Japanese army was immediately thrown into chaos.
Tang Zhangshan led the assault team, seizing the opportunity to charge and engage in close combat with the Japanese. Tang Zhangshan brandished his broadsword, slashing left and right, and the Japanese were quickly driven back. With the fierce attack of Tang Zhangshan and his men, the Japanese flank defenses were finally breached.
Meanwhile, inside the county command center, the battle between Lei Tao and Ando Yamano entered its final decisive stage. Lei Tao seized an opportunity to see a flaw in Ando Yamano and rushed forward. He blocked the saber with his left hand dagger and instantly turned the dagger into a reverse grip with his right hand, slashing towards Ando Yamano's wrist. Ando Yamano reacted extremely quickly. With a flip of his wrist, he pressed the saber down, avoiding the slash of Lei Tao's dagger. At the same time, he kicked Lei Tao in the abdomen with his right foot. Lei Tao dodged to the side, took a step forward with the force, and stabbed Ando Yamano's throat with his right dagger. Ando Yamano leaned back to avoid it, and at the same time swung his sword across Lei Tao's neck. Lei Tao quickly lowered his head, and with his left dagger, he slashed upwards and stabbed Ando Yamano in the lower abdomen. Ando Yamano jumped back to create distance, and Lei Tao followed closely, sweeping his right foot towards Ando Yamano's supporting leg. Ando Yamano jumped on one leg, turned in the air, and slashed Lei Tao's head with the saber from top to bottom.
Lei Tao blocked with his dagger raised in both hands, the immense force causing him to stumble. Ando Shanye immediately lunged forward after landing, stabbing Lei Tao in the chest with his saber. Lei Tao dodged to the right and simultaneously delivered a side kick to Ando Shanye's back, sending him crashing into the wall. As he turned, Lei Tao had already crouched, and with a lightning-fast dagger, he flung it forward, striking Ando Shanye in the throat.
Ando Yamano's eyes widened, a gurgling sound coming from his throat. He instinctively covered his throat with both hands, trying to pull out the dagger, but it was in vain. Blood gurgled out from between his fingers, his body began to stagger, and finally, with a "thump", he fell heavily to the ground, no longer moving.
As Ando Yamano collapsed to the ground, Lei Tao's tense nerves finally relaxed. He took a deep breath, walked over to Ando Yamano's body, squatted down, and drew his dagger. Suddenly, without warning, a rapid, chaotic sound of footsteps swiftly approached from the stairwell. Lei Tao's pupils suddenly constricted, and his nerves instantly tensed again, like a cheetah scenting danger, his alertness reaching its peak. Almost instantly, he quickly tucked the two daggers in his hands into the Bagua Top Spinner. Then, with a flash of his body, he swiftly moved to hide in the restroom of the telecommunications room. Once inside, he quickly closed the door behind him, the entire process seamlessly and without a single sound.
