Chapter 232 Power Armed Assault Boat
At this moment, a Japanese soldier walked towards the direction they were hiding, as if he had noticed something was wrong. Lei Tao immediately made a gesture, signaling everyone to remain absolutely silent and prepare for any emergency. The team members dared not breathe, tightly gripping their weapons and staring intently at the Japanese soldier.
Fortunately, the Japanese soldier stopped not far from them, checked, and found nothing unusual, so he turned around and returned to the camp. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Lei Tao continued to observe the camp and noticed a corner of the truck's canvas exposed, revealing the contents. With an idea in mind, he said to the brothers Li Shuiniu and Li Shuyang beside him, "Shuiniu, Shuyang, find a chance to get close to that truck and see what's inside. Be careful and don't expose yourself."
Li Shui Niu and Li Shui Yang nodded and began to move cautiously towards the truck. They used the terrain and bushes as cover to get closer.
At the same time, Lei Tao asked Huang Hu and Liu Zishan to pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese troops in the camp and be ready to provide support at any time.
When brothers Li Shuiniu and Li Shuyang approached the truck, the younger brother Li Shuyang seized the opportunity and took advantage of the distraction of the surrounding Japanese soldiers to rush towards the truck, grabbed the side of the truck with both hands, and with a sudden force, jumped onto the truck.
Li Shuiyang crouched on the truck and carefully lifted a corner of the canvas. He peered inside, his eyes widening as he saw a powered assault boat. It was roughly two meters wide and a little over four meters long, brand new, its metal parts gleaming coldly, and loaded with weapons and equipment.
"Brother, it's a powered armed assault boat!" Li Shuiyang lowered his voice and shouted to Li Shuiniu below.
Li Shuiniu was startled and was about to ask his brother to get off the truck when he heard hurried footsteps behind him. Looking back, he saw a Japanese soldier rushing towards them with a gun. Li Shuiniu immediately leaned against the truck body.
"Shuiyang, retreat!" Li Shuiniu shouted at his brother, Li Shuiyang, in the truck. He quickly flipped the safety on his Scorpion submachine gun to single-shot, turned around, and with a sudden bend of his legs, he quickly dropped to a half-kneeling position, resting the Scorpion on the edge of the truck tire. He aimed at the Japanese soldier and decisively squeezed the trigger. "Bang!" With a crisp sound, a bullet ripped out of the chamber like lightning, carrying a powerful force that traced a trajectory indiscernible to the naked eye, heading straight for the Japanese soldier.
In the blink of an eye, the bullet hit the Japanese soldier right between the eyebrows. Before he could even groan, his body was struck by a heavy hammer and he fell straight back. With a thud, he hit the ground, raising a small cloud of dust. His limbs twitched a few times, and then he was still.
The Japanese soldiers who were originally scattered everywhere immediately became agitated like hornets whose nest was poked after hearing the gunshots.
The Japanese soldiers who were patrolling and guarding the Japanese assembly camp rushed towards the Li brothers, shouting loudly to their companions while running, holding their weapons tightly with both hands, ready to shoot at any time.
Li Shuiyang heard his brother's cries and knew the situation was critical. Without taking the time to check, he loosened the canvas and prepared to jump out of the car. At this moment, his heart tightened, his foot slipped, and he almost fell.
Huang Hu heard the noise and quickly moved forward in a low posture, running towards the truck where Li Shuiyang was. As he ran, he used trees and mounds as cover, and occasionally stood up and fired to attract the attention of the Japanese soldiers.
"Shuiyang, jump!" Huang Hu shouted.
Li Shuiyang seized the opportunity and leaped off the truck. Huang Hu, quick-witted, grabbed him and the three of them ran deep into the forest.
At this time, Lei Tao quickly took out a smoke bomb from his waist, pulled out the safety pin, swung his arm hard, and threw the smoke bomb towards the area where Japanese soldiers were densely packed.
The smoke bomb exploded among the Japanese troops, and a thick cloud of smoke quickly spread, enveloping everything around. The Japanese soldiers were immediately thrown into chaos, shouting and coughing, and they groped frantically in the smoke, completely lost.
"Everyone, retreat quickly while the chaos is going on!" Lei Tao shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing through the mountains and forests.
Liu Zishan, who was originally providing cover not far away, quickly grabbed his Springfield sniper rifle and rushed to the back of a sturdy tree, pressing his body tightly against the trunk. He placed the rifle firmly on the trunk, squinted his eyes, and aimed in the direction of the Japanese search.
At that moment, the Japanese soldiers clashed in a chaotic swirl in the smoke, their shouts and footsteps intertwined. Liu Zishan's gaze was stern, and he watched every threatening movement. Just then, several Japanese soldiers attempted to approach the direction Lei Tao and his men were evacuating, and he decisively pulled the trigger. Bang! The bolt was cocked, and another shot was fired. Bang! The first few Japanese soldiers fell to the ground. The others, realizing they were being shot, immediately lay low and took cover, firing indiscriminately in the direction of the gunfire.
