Chapter 400: Ambushing the Patrol Outside the Cell
Lei Tao silently drew his dagger, crouched, and advanced on the sentry post. Just as he was a few steps away, the Japanese soldier seemed to notice something and was about to stand and turn around. Lei Tao, swift-witted and quick-handed, rushed forward, covered his mouth with his left hand, and stabbed his neck with the dagger in his right hand. The Japanese soldier struggled a few times before falling silent.
After dispatching the sentry, Lei Tao and Meng Xiaoyu continued forward. They hadn't gone far when they heard a sudden burst of footsteps and conversations in Japanese, suggesting at least five or six Japanese soldiers. Lei Tao and Meng Xiaoyu quickly hid in an empty cell nearby, holding their breath. The Japanese patrol drew closer. Lei Tao pulled out two M1911 silencers from his Bagua gyroscope, tossed one to Meng Xiaoyu, and said, "I'll take down the four on the right, and you take down the two on the left."
Meng Xiaoyu swiftly took the silencer and quickly attached it to her pistol, nodding slightly to indicate readiness. Her heartbeat was accelerating, but a hint of excitement lingered in her eyes as she stared intently at the cell door, waiting for the Japanese patrol to enter attack range.
As the footsteps became clearer, Lei Tao took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and gently placed his finger on the trigger, his eyes fixed on the possible location of the four Japanese soldiers on the right. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and every second seemed to be infinitely stretched.
Finally, a Japanese patrol appeared at the cell door. Lei Tao took the initiative, suddenly leaning forward, his gun spitting out precise flames, the silencer muffling the gunfire to a low, muffled thud. "Puff, puff, puff," four Japanese soldiers on the right were shot almost simultaneously, their bodies flying backwards, blood splattering everywhere.
Almost simultaneously, Meng Xiaoyu also quickly opened fire. With two sharp shots, the two Japanese soldiers on the left fell to the ground, without even a chance to scream. The two men coordinated perfectly, and the entire process took only a few seconds to eliminate the patrol.
But they dared not slack off for a moment. They quickly rushed out to check on the Japanese troops, ensuring that no one had escaped. After confirming that it was safe, they continued cautiously along the corridor. Not far away, they came to an intersection. Four passages led in different directions. The dim lights swayed in the passages, making them look particularly eerie.
Lei Tao whispered, "Be careful, there might be more enemies here." Meng Xiaoyu followed closely behind him, scanning the surroundings with vigilance. Just as they were about to choose a passage to continue forward, a sudden burst of alarms rang out, and the entire prison was instantly engulfed in a shrill sound.
"Oh no, our actions have been discovered!" Lei Tao's face changed. He knew that a fierce battle would follow. As soon as he finished speaking, a team of Japanese military police rushed over with guns in hand.
Lei Tao acted decisively, shouting to Meng Xiaoyu, "Yu'er, cover me!" He quickly removed a concentrated smoke bomb from his belt, deftly removed the safety pin, and hurled it toward the Japanese military police. "Swish!" As the bomb landed, thick smoke quickly spread, transforming the passageway into a vast expanse of white.
Taking advantage of the thick smoke, Lei Tao deftly slid his M1911 pistol into his leg holster and quickly rushed towards the Japanese soldiers in the smoke. As he vaguely spotted a figure, he flicked his right hand back, and a dagger instantly appeared in his hand. Low and crouching, Lei Tao swiftly moved through the smoke, taking advantage of the moment when the Japanese soldiers, unable to see clearly, panicked and approached a military police officer. He suddenly stood up, tightly covering the officer's mouth with his left hand, and stabbed the dagger in his right hand into the man's abdomen. Then, with a powerful twist, the officer groaned and fell limply.
After taking out one, Lei Tao crouched down, using the smoke to hide his figure, and quickly moved to another position. He heard movement on the left, judging that it was the Japanese military police groping forward, and quietly approached the direction of the sound. When he got close, he suddenly exerted force, rushed out from the side, and kicked the military police behind the knee. The military police lost their balance and fell forward. Lei Tao took advantage of the situation and leaped onto the military police's back. Holding the dagger in both hands, he stabbed the military police's neck fiercely, and blood spurted out.
Meanwhile, Meng Xiaoyu, finding the perfect moment outside the smoke, fired at the blurry figures she could see. Using a burst-fire method, she accurately struck the enemy, relieving the pressure on Lei Tao. After each shot, she quickly changed position to avoid being locked onto by the Japanese.
As the smoke thinned, Lei Tao and Meng Xiaoyu had already dispatched most of the military police. At that moment, Lei Tao spotted a military police officer aiming his gun at Meng Xiaoyu. He shouted, "Yu'er, be careful!" At the same time, Lei Tao hurled his dagger at the Japanese military police officer. With a whoosh, the dagger's blade instantly pierced his body. Then, with a powerful lunge, Lei Tao sent the remaining Japanese military police officer flying. His back hit the stone wall of the prison cell, and with a loud bang, he came to rest and fell to the ground.
When the smoke cleared, the corridor was littered with the bodies of Japanese military police. Lei Tao took a breath and said to Meng Xiaoyu, "Yu'er, we're going to face the cell guards next. Their defense will be even tighter. I'll teach you the CQB tactics for indoor raids. We need to make a quick decision."
Meng Xiaoyu's eyes were firm and she nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Lei Tao led Meng Xiaoyu towards the cell while quickly explaining, "CQB tactics require speed, precision, and decisiveness. When we enter the room, we must remain highly alert and use corners and obstacles for cover. The two of us must work closely together, alternating between covering each other as we advance."
They arrived in front of a cell. Lei Tao gestured for Meng Xiaoyu to hide to one side, while he leaned against the wall near the door, his ear pressed against it, listening carefully for any movement inside. After confirming the presence of two Japanese prison guards, he whispered to Meng Xiaoyu, "There are two enemies inside. I'll go in first to attract their attention, and you find the right moment to attack from the side."
Lei Tao kicked the door open and slipped inside, quickly aiming his gun at a prison guard. The guard, startled by the sudden noise, was about to raise his gun in retaliation when Lei Tao decisively fired. With a "puff," the guard fell to the ground. At the same time, Meng Xiaoyu rushed in from the side. As the other guard turned his head, she raised her hand and fired a shot, sending him falling to the ground.
"Not bad, the reaction is quick." Lei Tao said approvingly, "but the movement can be even faster."
They continued along the corridor and came to a larger cell block, which seemed to be where important prisoners were held and was heavily guarded. Lei Tao observed the terrain and found that there were several Japanese military police patrolling the cell corridor at the corner, and two were guarding the cell door.
Lei Tao whispered to Meng Xiaoyu, "Replace the magazines and wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
Meng Xiaoyu quickly and skillfully changed the magazine, his eyes revealing determination and courage. He nodded slightly to Lei Tao to indicate that he was ready. Lei Tao took a deep breath, his brain working rapidly, planning the attack route in his mind.
He lowered his voice and once again instructed Meng Xiaoyu on the tactical details: "I'll throw a grenade first to create chaos and draw their fire. You take this opportunity to circumvent the left and eliminate the two guards at the door. Remember to use the pillars and walls for cover, and don't expose yourself for too long." Meng Xiaoyu responded briefly and forcefully: "Understood!"
Lei Tao crouched low, silently pulling a grenade from his waistband, pulled the ring, and hurled it toward the patrolling Japanese military police. With a resounding "boom," the grenade exploded among the Japanese soldiers, sending a shower of flames and a few screams. Taking advantage of the thick smoke, Meng Xiaoyu darted out from the left like a cheetah, swiftly moving close to the wall.
The two guards at the door were startled by the grenade explosion and panicked. Before they could react effectively, Meng Xiaoyu had already arrived not far away. She held her gun steady and fired two shots, hitting both guards in the vitals with precision. Both guards fell almost simultaneously.
By this time, the patrolling military police had gradually recovered from the shock of the explosion and began to fire wildly in Meng Xiaoyu's direction. A barrage of bullets struck the wall, sending up showers of sparks. Seeing this, Lei Tao immediately raised his M1911 pistol from the other side and emptied the magazine. Several Japanese military police were caught off guard and hit in the vitals, falling to the ground.
The Japanese military police spotted them and opened fire. Lei Tao and Meng Xiaoyu quickly sought cover and engaged in a fierce gunfight with the enemy. While shooting, Lei Tao shouted to Meng Xiaoyu: "Yu'er, use the corners and obstacles to move, don't expose yourself!"
Meng Xiaoyu followed Lei Tao's instructions and nimbly moved between the bunkers, looking for opportunities to counterattack. She zeroed in on a Japanese military police officer and decisively fired. The officer was hit in the heart and fell to the ground with a scream, dying.
