The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 302 Rooftop Chase, Lei Tao Faces the Honey Trap

Lei Tao's heartbeat raced, each step akin to a life-or-death struggle. He knew full well that if Yoshijima Yuko escaped, the consequences would be disastrous. Suddenly, Yoshijima Yuko stopped dead in her tracks, spun quickly, and pulled a small pistol from her waist. Her eyes pierced with fierce intensity, and without hesitation, she pulled the trigger. With a sharp whistling sound, the bullet whistled towards Lei Tao.

Lei Tao reacted with remarkable speed, swerving sideways and pressing his body against a thick pillar. He adjusted his breathing slightly, his ears tracking the trajectory of the bullet, judging the timing of his next attack. As the bullet struck the pillar, sparks flew, he quickly drew his M1911 from his leg holster. With a flick of his wrist, he used the momentum of the draw to load the gun and release the safety. He held the gun steady with both hands, lowered his shoulders, cinched his abdomen, and, in a standard shooting stance, decisively fired in the direction of Yoshishima Yuko.

"Bang!" The M1911 pistol roared, and the armor-piercing bullet whizzed out with powerful kinetic energy. "Crack!" A fist-sized hole was directly punched into the pillar where Yoshijima Yuko was hiding, sending wood chips flying.

Yoshijima Yuko paled under the overwhelming firepower. Not daring to pause, she scurried along the pillars, seeking new cover. Crouching, she hurried, using the surrounding debris for cover as she swiftly shifted.

Lei Tao pressed on, lowering his body and moving forward in a tactical low stance, firing continuously as he approached. His gaze was as sharp as a torch, and he fired accurately at Yoshijima Yuko's possible hiding place, sending sparks flying everywhere. Yoshijima Yuko panicked and saw a narrow staircase leading to the second floor nearby, and she immediately ran towards it.

Lei Tao rushed to the stairs, knelt on one knee, raised his gun and shot at Yoshijima Yuko's back. A bullet grazed the corner of her clothes. Yoshijima Yuko screamed in fear and ran to the second floor at a faster speed.

Lei Tao chased after him and noticed the worn wooden planks creaking as he climbed the stairs. He walked lightly, alternating between cover, taking each step carefully, always alert and scanning his surroundings to prevent a sneak attack.

Going up to the second floor, he found a warehouse overflowing with miscellaneous items. Dim light streamed through the dusty windows, forming beams of light. Lei Tao quickly scanned the surroundings, employing a fan-shaped search pattern, searching for any trace of Yoshijima Yuko.

Suddenly, he heard a slight noise, and immediately raised his gun and turned around in a fighting posture, only to see Yuko Yoshijima hiding behind a pile of wooden boxes, with only a pair of frightened eyes showing.

"Yuko Yoshijima, you can't escape!" Lei Tao shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the warehouse.

Yoshishima Yuko didn't respond, her mind racing to find a way to escape. Then, she spotted a skylight on the other side of the warehouse that led to the roof, and with a wave of delight, she decided to escape through that window.

While Lei Tao was talking, Yoshijima Yuko bolted from behind the crate like a startled hare, sprinting toward the skylight. Her steps were hurried and frantic, sending dust flying with every step. Lei Tao's pupils constricted, and he quickly crouched, kneeling to fire. He pulled the trigger, and with a bang, the bullet grazed the edge of her clothes and struck the ground beside her, sending up a cloud of choking dust.

Yoshijima Yuko ran to the skylight, leaped, and, clutching the edge of the nearby shelf with both hands, scrambled up, using both hands and feet. Her breath was rapid, her eyes filled with the desire to survive. Once she reached the top shelf, she reached out and grasped the edge of the skylight. Gritting her teeth, she pushed with all her might, and like a flash of black lightning, she flipped through the skylight.

Almost immediately, a chaotic, hurried sound of footsteps echoed down the stairs. Lei Tao's heart tightened, and he turned to see five Japanese spies, their bodies hunched, rushing upstairs in a fan-shaped formation. As they ran, they fired frantically at Lei Tao with their guns raised. A barrage of bullets whizzed past, sending sparks and debris flying from the surrounding walls.

Lei Tao's eyes flashed, and without a moment's hesitation, he immediately unleashed a snake-like movement. His body swiftly shifted left and right, his steps light and agile, each sidestep and leap perfectly timed, deftly avoiding the spy's incoming bullets. As he dodged, he quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out a grenade. He deftly removed the safety pin with his teeth, crouched, raised his arm high, and with a flicker of determination in his eyes, he threw it down the stairs. The grenade traced a perfect arc through the air, plummeting rapidly towards the spy.

With a resounding boom, the grenade exploded among the Japanese spies, flames shooting skyward, and a powerful blast instantly knocked them to the ground. Thick smoke billowed into the stairwell, accompanied by the spies' screams and groans. Lei Tao ignored them, sizing up the skylight, taking a few steps back for a run-up, and with a somersault, he grabbed the edge of the skylight with both hands, flipped through it, and continued pursuing Yoshijima Yuko.

Lei Tao climbed out of the skylight, letting in the unobstructed morning sunlight. He saw the desperately fleeing figure of Yoshijima Yuko. She dove left and right across the rooftop, her steps stumbling, her heels scraping against the tiles with a harsh sound, yet she continued to race with all her might towards the edge. There was a narrow passage there, and once she slipped through, her familiarity with the surrounding terrain would make recapture impossible.

Anxious, Lei Tao quickly pulled out his M1911 pistol, gripping it firmly with both hands. He took a deep breath to calm his heartbeat, then stood and fired, decisively pulling the trigger in the direction Yoshijima Yuko was heading. "Bang, bang!" Two crisp gunshots echoed across the empty rooftops. The bullet, packed with powerful kinetic energy, brushed against the corner of Yoshijima Yuko's clothes and struck her feet, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Yoshima Yuko was so frightened by the sudden gunshot that she trembled all over and almost fell. She looked back in horror and saw Lei Tao's hawk-like eyes fixed on her. Endless fear surged in her heart, but the desire to survive gave her even greater strength, and her steps became more hurried and panicked.

Lei Tao didn't give her a chance to breathe. While steadily pursuing, he quickly pulled out a stun grenade from his waist. His fingers expertly pulled out the safety pin, twisted his body, and using the strength of his waist, threw the stun grenade with all his strength in the direction of Yoshishima Yuko's advance.

With a whoosh, the stun grenade arced through the air, like a black meteor, piercing the wind with a sharp sound as it flew straight towards Yoshijima Yuko. At this moment, Yoshijima Yuko was preoccupied with the idea of ​​escaping and was completely unaware of the impending danger.

"Bang!" The stun grenade exploded not far in front of Yoshijima Yuko. A strong and dazzling white light burst out instantly, like a small sun exploding on the roof, instantly illuminating the entire area; immediately afterwards, a deafening roar swept over like rolling thunder, and the air wave spread out in all directions with the explosion point as the center.

The sudden bright light and loud noise left Yoshishima Yuko dizzy, her steps losing their rhythm, and her body swaying uncontrollably. The bright light briefly blinded her, and the jarring ringing in her ears left her disoriented. She instinctively covered her eyes and ears with her hands and spun around in circles.

Seeing this, Lei Tao unleashed his strength, charging at Yoshima Yuko like a bolt of black lightning. His gaze was piercing and resolute, as he stared down at her struggling body, a single thought in his mind: she must not escape. In a few strides, Lei Tao was beside her. He extended his powerful arm, grasped her arm, and, turning around, used his center of gravity to deliver a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw, sending her crashing to the rooftop floor.

Lei Tao quickly pushed her down onto the rough rooftop floor, his knees firmly pressed against her back, preventing her from moving. He then quickly pulled out the handcuffs he had prepared from his waistband and, with a click, handcuffed her hands behind her back. The touch of the cold handcuffs instantly sobered Yoshishima Yuko, and she began to struggle frantically.

"You bastard, let me go!" Yuko Yoshijima shouted hysterically with red eyes, her voice hoarse with anger and despair.

Lei Tao frowned, and to quiet her down, he slapped her leg with his backhand, making a "pa" sound. "Behave yourself, don't waste your energy!" Lei Tao shouted sharply, his voice deep and powerful, echoing across the empty rooftop.

Yoshima Yuko turned a deaf ear to him. Like a trapped wild animal, she twisted her body and kicked repeatedly, trying to break free from Lei Tao's control. Her breathing was rapid, her face full of resentment and resentment, and she kept cursing.

Lei Tao increased the strength of his hands, twisting her arm tighter, and said coldly: "Your crime has been exposed. Today is your end. Don't resist in vain."

After dispatching Yoshijima Yuko, Lei Tao stood up and vigilantly surveyed his surroundings. He maintained a 360-degree perspective, maintaining constant vigilance. Meanwhile, the battle inside the factory continued, with intense gunfire and cries of killing emanating continuously. He knew that even though Yoshijima Yuko had been captured, the battle wasn't over yet; there were still other Japanese spies and ninjas to be dealt with.

He bent down and grabbed Yoshijima Yuko by the collar, lifted her off the ground, and half-dragged her towards the skylight. He took every step carefully, keeping his sideways position to protect himself, both to prevent Yoshijima Yuko from suddenly attacking and to keep an eye out for any sneak attacks from the surrounding enemies.

Yoshima Yuko suddenly stopped struggling, a strange light flashing in her eyes. She tilted her head back slightly, her hair scattered messily around her cheeks, and her voice instantly became soft and charming: "Brother, can you really bear to do this to me?"

Lei Tao frowned, ignored her, and continued to drag her forward. Yoshijima Yuko, however, persisted, deliberately twisting her body to make her steps more seductive, and whispered, "Look, what's the point of this war for us? We could have..." Her voice became increasingly low, full of temptation.

Lei Tao's heart was filled with alarm, realizing that Yoshijima Yuko was using her charm to seduce him and turn him against her. He snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain: "Stop playing tricks, none of your tricks will work on me."

Seeing Lei Tao unmoved, Yoshijima Yuko grew increasingly anxious, but she remained steadfast, her charming eyes even pleading. Her chest rose and fell slightly, her breathing became more rapid, and her gentle panting seemed filled with endless allure. "Good brother, think about it, if we join forces, we will definitely have a different future." Her voice became increasingly gentle. "I know a lot of secrets, and I'll tell you all if you let me go..." As she spoke, she deliberately moved closer to Lei Tao, her soft body almost touching his, and her faint fragrance drifted with her movements, permeating the space between them.
