The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 195: Lei Tao Sect Sets Up Minefield

Lei Tao, along with Chen Feiyang, Lu Ming, and Huang Hu, hurried eastward. The surroundings were so quiet that only their hurried footsteps and soft breathing could be heard. As they passed a hidden fork in the road, Lei Tao suddenly stopped and glanced around warily. After confirming that they were temporarily safe, he quickly removed his backpack and carefully pulled out several booby traps.

Lei Tao squatted down and placed the booby traps on the ground. He looked at the three people seriously and whispered, "These booby traps are our 'little surprises' for the Japanese. Everyone, pay attention. This is related to whether we can successfully escape the pursuers." As he spoke, he picked up a booby trap and pointed at a small mechanism on it. "This is the trigger device. It's very sensitive. We need to disguise it well."

Chen Feiyang leaned in to examine it carefully, nodding slightly to show his understanding. Lei Tao continued, "When laying mines, be careful to choose places where the Japanese can easily pass by but are difficult to detect, such as along a path half-hidden by leaves, or in the gaps between several rocks."

Lu Ming listened and observed his surroundings, seemingly considering a suitable spot to lay the mine. Lei Tao continued his demonstration, "After you've laid the mine, you need to use the surrounding environment to conceal it, making it appear as if it's already there."

Huang Hu couldn't wait to pick up a booby trap and was eager to try it out: "Brother Lei, I understand. Let me find a good place for the devils."

Lei Tao nodded and instructed: "Everyone, be careful and don't leave any traces. Once the arrangements are completed, we will leave immediately and must not be discovered by the Japanese."

Following Lei Tao's instructions, the three men, each holding a booby trap, carefully dispersed and began to choose a suitable spot near the fork in the road. Their movements were light and cautious, trying not to disturb the surrounding vegetation to avoid causing unnecessary noise. After each booby trap was laid, they carefully checked its natural camouflage, ensuring it was foolproof, before quietly returning to Lei Tao's side.

Lei Tao confirmed their arrangement again, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes: "Okay, let's go, let the devils taste the power of these 'gifts'." After that, he led the three people to continue to move eastward, and the figure quickly disappeared in the dense jungle. When they passed through a jungle and saw an open area in front of them, Lei Tao took off the backpack behind him, reached in, and took out several anti-infantry broadsword mines (actually the supplies he took out from the Bagua Gyro space).

He said solemnly to Chen Feiyang, Lu Ming and Huang Hu: "Brothers, this anti-infantry broadsword mine is extremely powerful and can be very useful in this open area."

He squatted down, picked up a mine, pointed ahead and said, "Look at this open area. The terrain is flat. We need to bury mines along the possible path of the Japanese advance, such as the edge of this grass. The terrain here is slightly lower and difficult to be discovered. It is also the only way they can pursue us."

Lei Tao carefully adjusted the mine's detonator, then gently placed it into a shallow pit and covered it with soil, leaving only a small part exposed. He then camouflaged it with weeds and branches nearby to blend it in with the surrounding environment.

"You see, after it is arranged like this, once the Japanese get close and trigger it, the steel balls in the mine will be sprayed out in a fan shape, causing large-scale casualties to them." Lei Tao explained as he did it.

Chen Feiyang and Lu Ming watched carefully, nodding from time to time to show their understanding, while Huang Hu rubbed his hands, ready to get to work.

Lei Tao continued, "We need to spread out. It's estimated that the jungle from here to that side is at least 800 meters long. We need to deploy one every 200 meters or so. We can't let the Japanese pursuers get through here so easily. After we're deployed, we'll go around the woods next to us and meet up at the valley ahead."

Following Lei Tao's instructions, the three of them each took a mine and carefully selected a suitable location in the open area to place it. They moved cautiously, trying not to leave any suspicious traces.

After completing the deployment, they quickly stood up, crouched down and ran towards the nearby woods, quickly disappearing into the trees. Only the open ground, which was hiding the deadly anti-infantry Broadsword mines, was left, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army...
