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

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Boom boom boom boom!"

Even after the shelling, the rain of arrows continued unabated, becoming even denser than before! All the tents were ablaze, forcing the Japanese soldiers in their fortifications to huddle even lower. Anyone peeking out was met with a cloud of iron filings—a fatal blow if they touched it, an injury if they were struck!

"Boom boom boom!"

The Japanese artillery roared again, and the already shattered mountain was severely damaged once more. A large amount of mud and sand slid down and piled up on the road, covering the entire road surface!

"Damn it! How did you fire that? Why haven't you hit the enemy yet?" Nagano Yoko was extremely anxious, watching the shells miss one after another with great anger.

"It's too dark to see anything clearly, so we can't pinpoint the exact location!" the lieutenant reported anxiously.

"..." Nagano Yoko was speechless. Their place was ablaze, as bright as day, making them easy targets in the dark. Anyone with eyes could see them clearly and aim accurately. But the distance was pitch black, especially since the enemy was hiding in the mountains. Whether they could hit them with a few shots depended entirely on luck!

If you can't hit the enemy, you'll only get beaten! How can you fight a war like this?

Little did they know that the enemy had taken advantage of the terrain. The two hillsides were only about twenty meters apart, and their peaks extended almost parallel to the bottom of the valley. From a distance, the two hillsides appeared to overlap! The Mo Dao Regiment was hiding on the hillside behind them and firing. It would be a miracle if the Japanese soldiers could hit them while aiming at the hillside in front!

As the saying goes, the right time is not as important as the right place. When it comes to understanding this land, the brothers of the Mo Dao Group who live here obviously have more knowledge!

"Hahahaha! That's awesome! I've had enough of this on the stockade wall these past few days! So what if those little devils are so tough? I'll send them home to see their grandma!" Tiger shouted, hugging the launcher, as if this was the only way to vent his anger!

"Cang-ye is awesome! It's so satisfying to see the Japanese devils getting so frustrated because they can't hit us! Now that we've driven the devils away, I need to study these two hillsides properly. Your idea of ​​visual deception is amazing!" Da Zhao said excitedly.

"Don't let up! Keep firing into the fortifications! Try to take down as many Japanese soldiers as possible before they can react!" Man Cang encouraged, holding a gun in hand.

The so-called visual deception was something I saw on a TV program in my previous life. There were a lot of accidents on a certain section of a mountain road, and during the rescue, it was found that the vehicles did not slow down at all! In other words, it was as if the people in the vehicles did not even notice the cliff, and they crashed straight into the cliff!

Later research revealed a notch several tens of meters inward in the cliff face, and the road, following the contours of the mountain, made a U-shaped bend halfway up. From a distance, the two sections of this U-shape appeared to overlap when the car was traveling on the road; by the time it plunged off the cliff, it was too late for regrets!

The two hillsides in front of us resemble the "U"-shaped indentation; it's hard to discover the hidden world here until you get close.

"Uncle Cang! A squad of Japanese soldiers is charging this way!" Tiger warned just as everyone was getting into the heat of battle.

"We see them!" The Japanese soldiers, flashlights in hand, broke away from their camp and charged towards this place along the main road leading into the village. They moved like fireflies in the dark valley. Anyone with eyesight could see them.

"Ultimate move! Use the machine guns! Don't let a single Japanese soldier get over that mound!"

"Alright!" With that, he handed the weapon to his brothers, who grabbed their light-handled rifles and started firing.

This night raid only brought two weapons: a swarm of bees and a machine gun! In the pitch black, only these kinds of area-of-effect weapons are effective; everything else is useless!

The Japanese soldiers blasted the hillside ahead to shreds, creating a high mound of earth on the main road. This provided the perfect opportunity for Da Zhao. With one man and one gun guarding that mound, the Japanese wouldn't be able to pass easily. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that one man could hold off ten thousand!

The Japanese devils have shot themselves in the foot!

Their purpose is obvious: the dozen or so people on the enemy's stronghold are fake! As long as they raid the enemy's base, they'll have no trouble wiping them out!

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

Although it was still difficult to see clearly, the distance was only a few dozen meters, and a volley of bullets was enough to stop the advance of that group of Japanese soldiers. Those firefly-like Japanese soldiers were instantly pinned to the mound of earth by bullets, like ants!

"Hahahaha! You've already dug your own graves, so I'll send you down there to lie down! Next year, when this place is covered in dog urine moss, your descendants will be able to find it and come to pay their respects!" Da Zhao felt like he was possessed by the God of War, and he thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of holding other people's lives in his hands!

"Dog urine moss? Why would dog urine moss grow?" Man Gui asked, puzzled, as he loaded rockets to the side.

"Don't you know? The Japanese soldiers must have peed their pants just now!" Da Zhao explained while firing away. There was absolutely no tension whatsoever, typical of a major battle!

……

Compared to the ease here, things weren't so good in Nagano! Seeing the soldiers he sent out die on the mounds of earth, his already furrowed brows tightened even more!

"Immediately send someone to inform Wang Daben that the enemies on the stockade walls are just ordinary lowly people, and tell them to launch an attack and occupy the stockade immediately!" Changye Hengsheng ordered.

"Hey! But those puppet troops are too cowardly. Why don't I lead a 20-man squad to bypass them and take the village in one fell swoop? Don't worry, senior, as long as we hold out for 40 minutes, we'll definitely reach the back mountain and quickly occupy the village within 40 minutes!" Inoue Masao pleaded.

"Are you alright with your injuries?" Nagano Yoko asked with concern. He knew exactly what kind of people the puppet troops were usually, and they must have seen through this obvious feint. The reason they hadn't made a move was because they were cowardly and afraid of death!

“No problem!” Masao Inoue affirmed. He then removed the bandage from his neck, tossed it aside, and stretched his arms a couple of times.

Clearly, Inoue Masao was determined to eliminate these lowly people; his repeated defeats at their hands had left him deeply ashamed and indignant! He intended to seize this opportunity to wash away his humiliation!

"Yoshi! Go!" Nagano Yoko was overjoyed to see his junior's determination. He would feel honored if he could wipe out these enemies in one fell swoop!

"Hi! Thank you for your trust, senior!" Inoue Masao was overjoyed to see that his senior had agreed, and despite the pain from his wound, he gave Nagano Yokoo a military salute!

Soon, Inoue Masao mustered twenty men and led them around the back of the mountain from the valley entrance. Nagano Yokoo watched them leave and gave the order again:

"Artillery cover! Take the wounded and retreat one hundred meters!"

Since we're just stalling for time, there's no need to waste time here with the other side. Anyway, we can't hit them. If I take a step back, do you dare to chase after me?

It's good that they've caught up; they might expose the enemy to their firepower if they make a single move!

Do you dare turn back if I don't chase you? If you dare go back, I'll launch an attack and chase after you! I might be able to wipe you out in less than forty minutes!
