Chapter 385: The Japanese Women's Volunteer Corps' Raid
Late at night, a thick, inky darkness enveloped the mountain stronghold. A ninja, clad in black, his figure resembling a ghost, silently approached the stronghold from the foot of the mountain. His footsteps were light, and each step he took made almost no sound.
He deftly circumvented the various sentries, both visible and hidden, who were unaware of the approaching danger. When he encountered a patrol, he instantly retreated into the shadows, waiting until the patrol was far away before continuing on his way. In this way, he successfully infiltrated the mountain stronghold.
The ninja ran straight towards the place where the young women were being held. When he got close, he suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and threw it with all his might. The dagger, engulfed in the wind, pierced the cell wall with a whoosh, the blade embedding deeply.
The imprisoned women heard the commotion and rose. The tall woman quickly walked to the wall, pulled out the dagger, and saw a note tied to it. She quickly unfolded the note and, in the dim light of the kerosene lamp, read the words written in Japanese: "At midnight, internal and external forces will cooperate to annihilate 'Youming' in one fell swoop."
The tall woman finished reading it, a fierce look flashing in her eyes. She quickly stuffed the note into her mouth, chewed it up, and swallowed it. She turned and whispered to the other women, "Get ready. Our people are about to take action."
At the same time, the bandit in charge of guarding the cell heard the noise and shouted, "What are you doing, you women?" As he said that, he walked towards the cell.
The tall woman's eyes turned, a plan came to her mind, and she moaned softly in an instant, her voice full of endless charm and seduction, as if she was in heat: "Brother, you are finally here. The snake just now scared me so much that my heart was pounding, and now my whole body is weak. Brother, please come in and keep me company." She deliberately dragged out her voice, accompanied by a few giggles. As she spoke, she gently unbuttoned a few buttons on her collar, revealing her skin that was faintly visible. In the dim light of the kerosene lamp, she exuded a unique temptation.
The bandit paused at the sound, his once vigilant eyes flashing with panic and confusion. But having been a bandit in the mountain stronghold for so many years, he suppressed his inner restlessness. Standing outside the cell, he peered through the bars, his voice trembling, "Don't...don't try to trick me! What the hell do you want?"
Seeing this, the tall woman continued to twist her body, her voice becoming more and more coquettish: "Brother, you see we are locked up here, how could we have any bad intentions? We just want you to come in and comfort us. Just come in, we promise to be good..." As she spoke, she cast a seductive look at the bandit, and secretly winked at the other women, indicating that they should be ready to take action at any time.
The bandit's Adam's apple rolled up and down, his eyes darting back and forth between the tall woman, a tornado between his inner self and his own. On one hand, he was wary, ingrained in him, while on the other, he felt the irresistible temptation before him. His hand unconsciously reached for the hilt of the knife at his waist, but he hesitated and didn't draw it.
"Brother, if you don't come in, I'll be heartbroken." Seeing the bandit still hesitate, the tall woman's voice became more aggrieved, and tears even welled up in her eyes. She bit her lip lightly, and her pitiful appearance completely disturbed the bandit's heart.
Finally, the bandit gritted his teeth, reached out to take out the cell key, muttering: "Just... just come in and take a look, don't play any tricks." The key turned in the keyhole, making a crisp sound, and the cell door slowly opened.
A glint of triumph flashed in the tall woman's eyes. The moment the bandit entered the cell, she suddenly struck out, her slender fingers like steel hooks, reaching for the bandit's throat. The bandit reacted quickly, dodging sideways and drawing the knife from his waist, attempting to block the attack.
However, the other women were already prepared for action. They rushed forward, some hugged the bandit's arms, and some raised their feet to trip his legs. Although the bandit struggled hard, he gradually fell into the disadvantage under the siege of several women.
"You bunch of bitches, how dare you plot against me!" the bandit cursed, trying to break free. He swung one woman aside, but was quickly held tightly by another.
The tall woman seized the opportunity and struck the bandit's neck with a fierce palm strike. With a dull thud, the bandit's body staggered, and he finally fell to the ground, unconscious.
The women quickly seized the bandits' weapons and expertly checked their ammunition. The tall woman walked to the cell door and peered out cautiously. After making sure no one else had noticed what was happening, she turned to her companions and said, "Hide him now! Don't let anyone find him."
They hurriedly dragged the bandit to the corner of the cell and covered his body with some debris. Then, they each found a good position and waited for midnight to come.
Meanwhile, the rest of the village remained quiet, save for the occasional chirping of insects. The patrol team continued on their designated route, completely unaware of the events unfolding within the prison. The ninja, having completed his mission, had already vanished into the darkness, waiting for his opportunity to strike.
At midnight, three distant owl calls echoed, signaling a secret. The tall woman whispered in Japanese to the other women in the cell, "As women of the Empire, we shoulder a special mission. This operation must annihilate the Netherworld Assassin, the Empire's greatest threat." The women murmured in response, "Hi."
She then quickly opened the cell door and led the women out. They divided into several groups, quietly assassinated the patrols, picked up their weapons, and moved towards various predetermined targets.
Lei Tao happened to be unable to sleep that night and was pacing around his room. Suddenly, he heard a slight movement outside. He immediately became alert and quietly left the room. As he reached the door, he saw several dark figures with guns flash by.
Lei Tao quickly turned sideways, sticking tightly to the shadow of the door corner. He put his right hand into the holster on his leg, firmly grasped the M1911 pistol, skillfully pulled the slide to load the gun, and then gently released the safety.
The shadowy figures walked straight into the living room without noticing anything. Lei Tao took a deep breath, suddenly stretched out his upper body, raised his pistol, locked the muzzle of the gun accurately on the shadowy figures, and without hesitation, pulled the trigger. "Bang, bang, bang" three gunshots rang out in the quiet night.
Almost instantly, the entire village seemed ignited by these three gunshots. Gunfire suddenly erupted from all directions. The dense sound of gunfire intertwined, rising and falling. The whistling of bullets piercing the night sky and the sound of weapons firing instantly shattered the tranquility of the village's night. A fierce battle had begun.
Lei Tao's three shots struck the first woman between the eyebrows, sending her falling to the ground. Blood instantly stained the ground red. The other two women reacted quickly, dodging sideways while returning fire. Their marksmanship was precise, their bullets whizzing past Lei Tao's ears and hitting the wall behind him, sending up a cloud of dust. Lei Tao immediately crouched, using the doorframe as cover, and quickly lowered his gun, firing two rounds in the direction of the two women.
The two women reacted instantly. One of them darted left, hugging the wall, quickly ducking behind a table. She kept a low profile, her hands gripping her weapon, and vigilantly observed her surroundings. The other woman quickly rolled to the right, tumbling across the ground and nimbly landing behind a wooden box, using it as cover. As they dodged, they simultaneously pulled grenades from their waistbands, lit the fuses, and hurled them forcefully toward Lei Tao's room.
Lei Tao also noticed something unusual at this moment. He keenly caught the crackling sound of the grenade fuse burning and two smoking objects flying towards him. His nerves instantly tensed up. Without the slightest hesitation, he suddenly jumped up, his body drawing an arc in the air, and jumped out of the house through the window.
The moment he landed, the grenade exploded. The shockwave instantly spread, its powerful force causing the surrounding air to vibrate violently. Fragments rained down like raindrops. The force of the shockwave and debris was so immense that it blew a large hole in the wall behind Lei Tao. The masonry on the wall shattered, fragments falling and sending up a cloud of dust. The entire room shook with the force of the explosion, and the surroundings were instantly reduced to a state of chaos.
