I used the Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword) to fight the Japanese.

"Shhhhhhh!"

The third volley of rockets rained down, engulfing the Japanese convoy. The Japanese soldiers hid behind the trucks, too afraid to show their faces. Despite their crude design, a hit from those rockets meant certain death or serious injury; even the Japanese were afraid!

"Shhhhhhh!"

Just then, arrows shot out from the mountain behind them. The Japanese soldiers, who were only concerned with dodging, felt pain in their backs and then collapsed to the ground, their fate unknown!

A feint attack, a pincer movement! Just like the dog-man battle that Second Master and Chengzi fought!

"Baka! Someone's behind us! Counterattack!" Yamamoto Taikawa's voice trembled as he shouted, barely audible.

Just moments ago they thought they were just Chinese bandits, but now they're attacked from both sides, and in this one round, more than half of their troops have been killed or wounded! A feeling of fear gripped their hearts...

"Bang bang bang bang!"

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

"Shhhhhhh!"

The Japanese soldiers tried to suppress the enemy by covering the hillside behind them with bullets, but the arrows coming down from the mountain were relentless! Compared to the Japanese soldiers' blind firing, the arrows from the mountain seemed to have eyes, and one Japanese soldier after another fell down!

The outcome of the battle was already quite clear, and a sense of powerlessness rose in my heart!

"Grenade launcher! Use the grenade launcher now!" This was their last resort!

But after shouting for a long time, there was no response from the grenade launcher. He poked his head out from beside the truck bumper and looked around, only to be dumbfounded. People were lying on the ground! One of the soldiers was clutching the grenade launcher he had been longing for!

Is that all? It's only been a short while! When did Imperial soldiers become so easily defeated? How could such a small arrow kill a member of the mighty Imperial Japanese Army? How could it?

His mind was filled with unanswered questions, but an arrow had already accurately landed on the back of his neck. He felt a chill on his neck, and suddenly he couldn't breathe properly. Wait a minute! I've been hit by an arrow! It doesn't hurt too much! Ouch! Why am I lying on the ground? No, no, is this the end of the shoot?

The battle was now completely over, and the brothers rushed down the road to finish off the enemies and clean up the battlefield.

The first one to rush down was Shimizu, who took a step right up to Yamamoto Taikawa and kicked him!

"You little devils are pretty observant! It's just a rock I sat on, and you noticed? You made me pretend to be a woodcutter and cowherd! I haven't chopped wood in years, you know? Look at this, is that a woodcutter's knife? This is a long-handled broadsword for killing Japanese devils! You're so observant, yet you still fell for it! Serves you right! Bah!"

"Hahahaha, Shimizu is really angry! So what if he pretended to be a woodcutter? Even though the Japanese devils are dead, he still won't let them go!"

"That's right! You deserve the most credit for this battle! The part where you were so scared by the Japanese that you fell to the ground was the most realistic!"

"That's right! No one will believe you if you don't act like a Japanese soldier!"

"Brother, brother, stop kicking! This Japanese officer has fair skin and looks like he comes from a wealthy family. He must have some good stuff on him! Quickly, look for it!" Qingquan urged from the side.

"Go ahead and look for me, I won't touch those damned Japanese devils' stuff!"

"Then don't try to take anything good from me!"

"What a jerk! I'll do it myself!" With that, Shimizu squatted down and started rummaging through his belongings. And you know what? This damned Japanese guy actually had some good stuff on him! A pen, a watch, a notebook, half a pack of cigarettes, and a belt that seemed pretty good too!

"Hurry up, everyone! We're not far from Yuguan Town. The Japanese soldiers there might be here any minute!" Mancang urged.

"Brother, what do we do with this car? If we go back the way we came, the Japanese will definitely spot us!" Man Gui asked, opening the car door.

"Take the main road to the east, bypass Yuguan Town, and drive to Huluzui to find a place to hide. Push all this flour, guns, and stuff back in wheelbarrows!" Mancang had already planned his escape route.

"Huh? Aren't you going to drive this car back?" Mangui asked, puzzled.

“Haha, brother, if we drive back, we’ll be exposed! Mancang is right, we should hide these trucks in the ravines and wait until things calm down before driving them back! What we need to worry about now is how to avoid the Japanese soldiers’ search and detection,” Manxiang advised from the side.

"Got it! We've got a lot of flour to push..." Mangui quickly pulled the Japanese soldier out of the cab and started exploring the various parts of the truck.

While cleaning up the battlefield, everyone upheld the fine tradition of not wasting anything, thoroughly searching the bodies of each Japanese soldier. Surprisingly, they managed to find over forty silver dollars and over a thousand yuan in legal tender from these sixty-odd Japanese soldiers, along with a whole bunch of other items like pens, watches, and notebooks!

After quickly cleaning up the battlefield and throwing the Japanese corpses into the mountains, everyone changed into Japanese clothes and drove back. It was the first time anyone had driven a truck, and although they had experience driving motorcycles, it was a completely different experience. Even Mancang took a while to figure out the tricks of the trade, and he had to turn the truck around before explaining it to everyone.

They all said it sounded pretty simple when they listened to the instructions, but once they actually tried it, it was a completely different story! They drove like drunks, and it was lucky that they were practicing in the last empty car, otherwise they would definitely have crashed!

An hour later, the group was finally able to drive the truck on the road, albeit clumsily. And you have to admit, Man Gui really has a talent for driving; he was the only one in the team who drove smoothly.

Along the way, they encountered many people busy harvesting crops, and they all kept their distance when they saw that it was a Japanese vehicle. Some Japanese soldiers and traitors who were collecting grain did not pay any attention to the drivers, who were all their own people, and went about their own business.

The car drove safely into the outer edge of Huluzui, found a relatively flat place to stop, and cut some branches and weeds to camouflage it.

Transporting five large carts of flour, along with weapons and other supplies, over mountains and valleys was no small undertaking. The group worked from afternoon until late at night, finally managing to move everything to a ravine inside the gourd-shaped hillside before they could finally relax. Exhausted, they collapsed onto the flour sacks and fell fast asleep.

……

Before dawn, a rapid ringing of the telephone jolted Nagano Yokosuke awake from his sleep. The old Japanese soldier impatiently took the phone from the soldier, but after hearing just one sentence, he was terrified!

"What?! Something happened to the grain convoy? Where?"

"Reporting to Colonel, a puppet army soldier just reported that a large number of Imperial Army soldiers' corpses were discovered in Laohekou. Judging from the timeline, it must be Yamamoto and his men..."

"What about the flour?"

"The vehicle and flour have all vanished. We'll need to go to the site to find out the specifics!"

"Baka! Immediately seal off the villages surrounding Yuguan Town and search for suspicious targets. I'm going there personally to confirm!"

"Yes, sir! I'll arrange it immediately!"

The caller was Sato Toyohiro, the head of the Yuguan Town outpost. He had clearly thought of the transport team immediately after receiving the report, which is why he reported directly to Nagano Yokoo without confirmation. Hopefully, his guess was wrong, and the transport team was safe and sound!
