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

At the entrance to Tianma Village Valley, a familiar scene unfolded once again! Just as Mancang had guessed, Kobayashi Huai-ren and his gang of Japanese soldiers and puppet troops surrounded the valley entrance, preparing for a major battle. However, both sides remained unusually quiet, and neither fired a single shot!

"Third Master, have you figured out these two big guys yet? The Japanese sent you two more today! Still envious?"

"Yeah, Third Master! Do you know how to use this thing?"

"I've already learned from Platoon Leader Sun, and I'm just waiting to put it into practice today! Talking about it isn't enough; we need to have real skills!" Third Master is most looking forward to the Japanese attack. As soon as the Japanese make a move, he can start firing. Whether it's allowed or not, we'll fire first! Otherwise, what's the point of just gesturing with empty cannons?

"That makes sense. The Japanese just suffered a defeat a couple of days ago, what are they doing here today? If they want to fight, they should fight; if not, they should get lost. Are they just here to sunbathe?"

"It's so hot today! Those Japanese soldiers really can withstand the sun, standing there without moving an inch!"

"Now I know why those Japanese devils wore loincloths! They could wet their pants anytime, just like little kids!"

"Hahaha...you're amazing!..."

"I wonder how things are with the regimental commander? Do you think the Japanese will faint from anger if they find out he's already gone?"

Everyone understood the Japanese's purpose in surrounding the enemy without attacking; they would just wait and see who would get impatient!

However, unlike the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere on the other side, the Japanese were gradually becoming restless! Already defeated and facing their old adversary again, they already lacked confidence, and the sweltering heat, with everyone sweating profusely under the sun, exacerbated the situation. The puppet troops and traitors were the first to complain!

"If you want to fight, then fight! What's the point of just sitting here in the sun?"

"Who knows! I think the Japanese are really deflated this time! Nagano Yokoshi was completely wiped out, and Kobayashi Kazuhito also suffered a major defeat last time. This time they're just besieging without attacking. I wonder what they're up to?"

"Shh! Don't let the Japanese hear us! We're the only puppet troops left in the whole county. If the Japanese get angry, we'll vent our anger on them and no one will escape!"

"We need to find a way out! We can't rely on the Japanese!"

"That's true. Do you have any good ideas?"

"Baka! Be careful and keep your mouth shut!" Kato Oka shouted at the collaborators who were talking amongst themselves.

In truth, these Japanese soldiers were also incredibly annoyed at this point. They were drenched in sweat and had to lie on the ground, cautiously on guard, feeling like their bodies were about to be scalded! They'd rather have a good, decisive battle and die than suffer this foreign torment!

Inside the makeshift tent, Kobayashi Kazuhito was restless, occasionally raising his binoculars to look across at the other side. Those lowly people were chatting and laughing as if they were old people sitting in the shade of a tree, not taking them, these Japanese devils and traitors, seriously at all!

It was obvious that he was being looked down upon! Looked down upon by a bunch of ragged, lowly Chinese!

When has the mighty Imperial Japanese Army ever suffered such humiliation?

But he had to endure the injustice for now! Having just been defeated, even he himself lacked the confidence to fight them again! However, the transport mission was urgent, and if he didn't keep an eye on these people, who knew what trouble they might cause! Didn't his predecessor suffer a great loss at the hands of these same people?

"Reporting, Major! Yohji Yamamoto has a report from the Mafang Village base!" Just as he was feeling restless, a soldier came over to report.

"Let him come here!" Kobayashi Kaito glanced at the flustered Yohji Yamamoto not far away and said calmly. No matter how anxious he was inside, he had to appear nonchalant in front of his subordinates, otherwise, this team would be difficult to manage!

"Reporting to Major, we received a call from the soldiers stationed in the county town. The transport team was ambushed by the Mo Dao Regiment at Sanliqiao. The entire escorting army was wiped out, their bodies floating on the river, and the transported supplies have vanished!" Yohji Yamamoto briefly recounted the events in one breath.

"What?! ...Baka! The Mo Dao Regiment is all inside, where is the Mo Dao Regiment?!" Kobayashi Huai Ren suddenly went berserk. He had the Mo Dao Regiment completely blocked here, how could they be left?

"...The soldiers found the damaged arrow at the scene..." Yohji Yamamoto said cautiously.

"What?!..." Arrows are standard equipment for the Mo Dao Group. If they found arrows, it was probably the Mo Dao Group's doing! But I was clearly guarding this place. Did the Mo Dao Group sprout wings and fly away?

No! It's not impossible that they went out from the back of the mountain!

"Have you found those Mo Dao gangs?" Kobayashi forced himself to calm down. Finding supplies and re-transporting them was the most important thing now!

"...Not yet!" Yohji Yamamoto said helplessly. He rushed over here as soon as he received the news; he didn't have time to care where those people were.

"..." Kobayashi Huai-ren was also anxious. How could he possibly know the whereabouts of those people when he rushed here as soon as he received the news?

"Kato-kun, you immediately take a hundred squads back with Yamamoto-kun to guard Mafang Village. They can't possibly take the mountain roads with so many supplies; they'll definitely drive through Mafang Village to bring them back! We only need to hold them off for an hour! After an hour, we'll withdraw and let them in! Understand?" Kobayashi Huai-jin ordered.

“Yes, sir!” Kato Oka replied.

"Alright! Go!" Kobayashi knew that relying on these hundred-odd people to snatch back the supplies was wishful thinking! But they could run away, but they couldn't hide. As long as they quickly took over this village, they wouldn't have to worry about finding supplies!

Soon, a hundred soldiers followed Kato Oka away from the fortifications and ran towards Mabu Village. Kobayashi Kazuhito immediately ordered an attack!

"Aim at that hilltop and fire!"

Since the Mo Dao gang has gone out to loot supplies, there can't be many people guarding this place. As long as we take over their stronghold, reclaiming the supplies will be a piece of cake!

The battle intensified as soon as it began! Two Type 92 infantry guns fired straight at Erdaoliang, sending sand and gravel flying everywhere and vegetation flying, and smoke once again filled the valley!

"The Mo Dao Regiment robbed our supplies! The people inside are just ordinary Chinese bastards! Rabbit, here we come!" To boost morale, Kobayashi Huai-ren didn't hesitate to expose his own wounds! The soldiers were already lacking in confidence; only by showing them the hope of victory could they unleash their full fighting power!

"Hey! Rabbit, here you go!"

"Work like a lowly commoner!"

"Die, all of you!"

The Japanese soldiers, of course, obeyed orders without question, and charged into the valley with howls! The puppet troops, however, were a different story. They followed behind the Japanese soldiers, cautiously inching forward, wishing they could bury their heads in their bellies!

"Bang! Bang!"

"Baka! Anyone who delays the battle will die!" Seeing the puppet troops cowering, Kobayashi Kaijin fired two shots! This immediately put the entire puppet army on edge, and they mustered their courage to charge forward!

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

“Bang bang bang bang!

The battle immediately intensified!
