Chapter 139: Fighting with Ninja
Lei Tao waved his right hand and took out a big knife with electric shock function from the Bagua gyroscope space. He danced with the knife, raised his left hand and pointed at the ninjas and said, "Are you the legendary Japanese ninjas? It seems that your superiors really look down on me and only sent a few of you minions to deal with me..."
The leading ninja said in broken Chinese: "Ghost Assassin, today is the day you die!" Before he finished speaking, five ninjas attacked Lei Tao together.
A ninja rushed forward, Lei Tao dodged his attack by turning sideways, and swung his sword. The electric current instantly hit the ninja, causing his body to twitch and fall to the ground.
Seeing this, the other ninjas' eyes widened in anger. They unleashed their fierce Ichito-ryu sword techniques, attacking Lei Tao like a raging storm. Their blades flashed with a cold gleam, their sharp blades slicing through the air with a sharp whistling sound. Lei Tao's face remained calm, his posture nimble, his steps nimble like a snake, deftly weaving through the flashing swords and blades. Sometimes he pounced with the swiftness of a cheetah, his electric sword wielding immense force and electricity, striking directly at the ninja's vital points; sometimes he retreated with the agility of a monkey, easily avoiding the ninja's fatal blows.
In the fierce exchange, Lei Tao spotted a flaw. Seizing the fleeting opportunity, he spun abruptly and lunged forward like a ghost. He launched a powerful, relentless kick, striking a ninja in the abdomen. The ninja's face paled from the blow, and he flew backward like a kite with its string cut, spurting blood. Simultaneously, Lei Tao swung his broadsword, its light radiating in a dazzling arc as it struck the other ninja's shoulder with pinpoint accuracy. Electricity instantly coursed through the blade, sending a sharp numbing sensation through the ninja's body. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
But the ninjas, unwilling to be outdone, worked in perfect harmony, constantly searching for Lei Tao's weaknesses. Gradually, Lei Tao began to feel the strain, and wounds appeared on his arms and legs. Blood oozed, staining his clothes red. Yet, Lei Tao's gaze grew more resolute, and he showed no sign of retreating.
He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and swung the electric sword in his hand even more fiercely. Lei Tao knew that the close combat force of the Japanese ninja was undoubtedly powerful. Although he could kill them all, he would also suffer a lot. He had to find a way to win by surprise...
A ninja seized the opportunity and attacked Lei Tao's injured leg. Lei Tao's heart tightened, and he decisively threw the big knife in his hand at the ninja. The ninja was unable to dodge and was hit by the big knife and fell to the ground.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lei Tao instantly pulled out two Scorpion submachine guns from the Bagua Gyro space, raised the Scorpions with both hands, and fired at the ninjas rushing towards him. Bullets whizzed out, and the dense firepower formed a barrage.
The ninjas in the front were instantly riddled with wounds and fell to the ground screaming. The ninjas behind were stunned by the sudden and powerful firepower and paused for a moment.
At this moment, a ninja was shot in the abdomen. He groaned in pain and quickly released a smoke bomb from his arms. The smoke spread instantly, blocking his vision.
Lei Tao took this opportunity to continue firing, not giving the ninjas any chance to breathe. In the smoke, ninjas were shot one after another, some were hit in the vitals and killed immediately, while some were shot in the arms or legs and immediately released smoke bombs to escape from the battle...
As the smoke gradually dissipated, Lei Tao discovered that four ninjas and the two spies had escaped in the chaos.
Lei Tao looked in the direction the ninja and the spy had fled, his brow furrowed in worry. He knew full well that their escape would pose a huge threat to the division headquarters, so he ignored his own injuries and rushed towards the division headquarters.
While running, Lei Tao encountered a turbulent river. Without hesitation, he used the trees on the bank to take a running start and jumped across the river. Although the wound was pulled when he landed, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat, he only paused for a moment and continued on his way.
Meanwhile, division headquarters had already begun an emergency evacuation following the Li brothers' report. The division commander directed his soldiers to help the villagers evacuate deeper into the mountains and forests, concealing their supplies as best they could. The chief of staff, on the other hand, arranged defenses and deployed snipers in strategic positions, ready to respond to any incoming enemy forces.
Lei Tao finally arrived near the division headquarters and saw everyone busy at work. The division commander saw Lei Tao and hurried forward to inquire about the situation. Lei Tao told the division commander about the battle with the ninja and the spy and their escape. The division commander's face was solemn and said, "It seems we must speed up the anti-evacuation. We must find a way to eliminate them before their bombers arrive."
Lei Tao volunteered: "Commander, I am familiar with the surrounding terrain. I will lead a small team to scout ahead. If we find any traces of the enemy, we can respond in advance." The commander nodded in agreement. Lei Tao quickly selected ten agile soldiers and sneaked towards the direction of possible enemies.
They set up a hidden observation point in a valley, and Lei Tao carefully observed the movements in the distance through a telescope. Not long after, he discovered that the escaped ninjas and spies were reuniting with a small Japanese army unit, about eighty strong, and they were also carrying a mortar. Lei Tao's heart sank, knowing that this would be a tough battle. He quietly discussed countermeasures with the soldiers and decided to take advantage of the terrain first, setting up a minefield on the route that the Japanese army must pass, and then launching a surprise attack, trying to eliminate them before the Japanese bombers arrived...
