The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 376 Today I'll let you play the good thing of "Burning Foot Basin Chicken"

A few days later, the passenger ship slowly docked at the mossy shore. The hull rubbed against the rocky bank, making a dull sound and sending ripples across the water. Lei Tao stood at the bow, glancing around with a solemn expression. The shore was overgrown with weeds, and in the distance, the mountains stretched out in a continuous line. While the scene appeared peaceful, who knew how many dangers lay hidden within.

Everyone got off the boat, and when they reached a secluded area, Lei Tao said as they walked, "Brothers, our whereabouts have been exposed. There is an enemy checkpoint ahead. Let's not take a detour. Let's take it down directly, and then make a feint to the east and attack in the west so that the devils don't know our intentions and movements."

Chen Feiyang's blood boiled upon hearing this, and he rubbed his hands together, eager to fight. "Brother Lei, I've been waiting for you to say this! Take down that checkpoint and teach those devils a lesson!"

Liu Zishan frowned slightly and calmly analyzed: "Brother Lei, this checkpoint must be heavily guarded. The Japanese may have set up many traps. We have to make a long-term plan."

Lei Tao nodded and looked at everyone with a firm gaze: "Zishan is right, we can't act rashly. Everyone should check their weapons first and be ready for battle." Everyone quickly dispersed and checked the guns and ammunition in their hands.

"Meng Xiaoyu, Yi Guang, you two go and conduct some reconnaissance near the checkpoint first to find out the Japanese's troop deployment, weapons equipment, and their patrol patterns. Remember, you must not expose yourself." Lei Tao arranged the tasks in an orderly manner.

Meng Xiaoyu and Yi Guang received their orders and crouched down, using the weeds and trees along the shore as cover as they silently moved towards the checkpoint. Agile like two cheetahs, they quickly disappeared into the dense grass.

"Lishui Niu, Lishui Yang, go to the nearby villages and find some locals familiar with the terrain. See if there are any hidden paths or places we can set up ambushes. After we take down the checkpoint, we need a safe escape route."

The Li brothers nodded in agreement, turned around, and walked quickly towards the village. Dressed in worn, coarse cloth and wearing bamboo hats, they looked like ordinary villagers at first glance, blending seamlessly into the surroundings.

At this moment, Lei Tao stood there, his mind racing with battle plans. He was well aware of the dangers of this operation. If it failed, not only would the mission be impossible, but it could also put his brothers in dire straits. But he also understood that this was the only way out of this difficult situation.

After a while, Lei Tao took out several Thompson submachine guns and sniper rifles, as well as sufficient ammunition from the Bagua gyroscope space and put them on the ground.

A long time later, Meng Xiaoyu and Yi Guang returned. Meng Xiaoyu, panting, reported anxiously, "Brother Lei, there are about twenty or so Japanese soldiers and a dozen puppet troops inside the checkpoint. They're equipped with rifles and light machine guns, and there are sandbags and barbed wire around the perimeter. Patrols circle the checkpoint every half hour."

Yi Guang then added, "Behind the checkpoint, there's a small hill. The terrain there is higher. If we can capture it, we can attack the checkpoint from a high position."

After listening, Lei Tao pondered for a moment, then said: "Okay, wait for the buffalo and water sheep to come back, and then we will combine the terrain and intelligence to formulate a detailed battle plan."

A little later, the Li brothers also returned. Li Shuiniu excitedly said, "Brother Lei, we heard there's a hidden path west of the checkpoint. Following this path, we can bypass the enemy's main defense line and go directly into the mountains."

Lei Tao said, "Change equipment. Meng Xiaoyu, you have a good shot, so this sniper rifle is for you. You and Yi Guang will find a hidden high ground and use the terrain to eliminate the enemy's key firepower points and the sentries on the watchtowers first, creating conditions for our subsequent operations. Chen Feiyang and Liu Zishan, each of you will take a Thompson submachine gun. During the frontal assault, you will be responsible for suppressing the enemy's firepower. Buffalo and Shuian, you two will also take Thompson submachine guns. At critical moments, you will be responsible for outflanking and disrupting the enemy's position."

Everyone quickly collected their weapons, expertly checking their condition and loading their ammunition. Meng Xiaoyu picked up a sniper rifle and gently stroked it. Chen Feiyang and Liu Zishan gripped their Thompson submachine guns, eager to try them out and eager to join the battle. The Li brothers also slung their Thompsons over their shoulders, stretched their muscles, and prepared for a fight.

Lei Tao suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "Today I'll let you play the game of 'Burning Chicken in a Basin'."

Everyone was curious about Lei Tao's mysterious words and cast inquiring glances at him. Seeing this, Lei Tao waved for everyone to gather together and began to explain his plan in a low voice.

"When I was collecting supplies earlier, I accidentally found a batch of incendiary bombs. These incendiary bombs are extremely powerful and are our secret weapons for this battle. When the battle begins, after Meng Xiaoyu and Yi Guang have eliminated the key targets, Li Shuiniu and Li Shuyang, you will throw the incendiary bombs at the checkpoint from both sides. When the incendiary bombs explode, a large area of ​​fire will be formed, and the Japanese and puppet troops will definitely be in chaos."

"Chen Feiyang, Liu Zishan, take advantage of the fire and chaos and attack from the front with all your might. Use the powerful firepower of the Thompson submachine gun to suppress the enemy. I will coordinate in the middle and provide support at any time according to the battlefield situation."

"When the enemy is stunned by our offensive, we will rush in and eliminate the remaining enemies. Then we will quickly evacuate along the western path so that the Japanese can't even catch our shadow."

After hearing this, everyone's eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation, and they were full of confidence in the upcoming battle.

Time passed minute by minute. Finally, Lei Tao looked at his watch and whispered, "It's time to act. Everyone, stay hidden and act according to the plan."

Meng Xiaoyu and Yi Guang stalked like ghosts toward their pre-selected vantage point, using trees and rocks for cover as they approached their target silently. Arriving at their position, Meng Xiaoyu set up her sniper rifle and, through the scope, pinpointed the Japanese sentry atop the watchtower. She took a deep breath, catching her breath, and pulled the trigger. With a bang, the bullet whizzed out, and the sentry felled. Yi Guang also quickly opened fire, dispatching a puppet soldier who was about to grab his machine gun.

At the same time, the Li brothers approached the checkpoint from both sides, seizing the perfect moment to launch their incendiary bombs with all their might. The bombs arced through the air, landing precisely inside the checkpoint and instantly causing a violent explosion. Flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed into the air, and the screams of the Japanese and puppet troops plunged the entire checkpoint into chaos.

"Charge!" Lei Tao shouted, and Chen Feiyang and Liu Zishan rushed out from the front like arrows from a bow. The Thompson submachine guns spewed out tongues of fire, and the dense bullets made the enemy unable to raise their heads. Lei Tao followed closely behind, shooting while observing the battlefield situation and commanding the team members' actions in a timely manner.

During the charge, Chen Feiyang skillfully alternated his firepower between sandbags and cover, suppressing enemy firepower while rapidly advancing. Liu Zishan, meandering on the left, leveraged his submachine gun's firepower to strafe enemy counterattacks from the flank, providing fire support for Chen Feiyang. Li Shuiniu and Li Shuyang, meandering on the right, exploited the confusion caused by the incendiary bomb explosions to quickly close in on the enemy, accurately striking down their targets with short bursts of submachine gun fire.

Under the fierce attack, the enemy's defense line gradually collapsed. The team members took advantage of the situation and rushed into the checkpoint, shooting down the stubborn enemies one by one with submachine guns. After a fierce battle, the Japanese and puppet troops fell one after another, and Lei Tao and his team successfully took down the checkpoint.

"Quick, evacuate according to the plan!" Lei Tao shouted. They quickly ran towards the hidden path to the west and soon disappeared into the mountains.
