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

The Japanese were fighting fiercely, but Mancang was trapped behind the trucks, feeling extremely frustrated! Not long ago, they had surrounded the Japanese and seized their supplies, but now the situation had reversed, and they were like rats, blocked on the main road by the Japanese!

We're surrounded from the front, pursued from the back, and so many of our brothers have already been shot and fallen to the ground. The situation is dire!

"Swarm them! Suppress the Japanese in the back! Brothers in front, move into the cornfield!" Man Cang ordered as he surveyed the scene.

The pursuing Japanese soldiers could ambush them on the main road, and a swarm of them could be effective. The problem was the Japanese soldiers in the cornfield; a swarm of them wouldn't be able to hit them, and the grenade launchers would do limited damage—they couldn't see clearly, so their aim was inaccurate. However, if I also entered the cornfield and played hide-and-seek with the Japanese, I might have a chance to counterattack!

"Alright!" Tiger immediately understood Mancang's intention and agreed, calling his brothers to dive into the cornfield. He put away his rifle, took out his crossbow, and crept towards the Japanese soldiers.

The cornfields, with their green canopies, were once a crucial means for revolutionary martyrs to fight the Japanese invaders. Once inside the cornfield, the pressure on the brothers lessened considerably. All of them were farmers by birth, and they discerned the direction before stealthily making their way towards the enemy!

"Crawl out! You can see further down here!" Tiger called to his brothers as they crouched down and walked forward.

As corn grows taller, the leaves near the roots wither and fall off, improving visibility significantly without the leaves obstructing the view. Farmers understand this perfectly well, but those Japanese soldiers might not!

Sure enough, after walking a while, I could see through the corn roots that the woods ahead were filled with legs!

Of course, it wasn't the thighs of sexy beauties; it was all the calves of Japanese soldiers wrapped in yellowish-green leg wraps, utterly devoid of any aesthetic appeal!

"Shoot with crossbows, fire one shot and move to another! Play hide-and-seek with the Japanese!" Tiger commanded softly.

"Understood! Once we're in the fields, this is our territory. The Japanese devils can just wait to be harvested by Grandpa!" Shimizu said, his eyes shining.

They were just guerrillas fighting in the cornfields. The farmers were naturally more familiar with the cornfields than those Japanese soldiers!

"Huh! Huh!"

Two arrows were fired in quick succession. One arrow struck the Japanese soldier in the calf, and as the soldier crouched down to check his injury, the other arrow followed immediately, taking his life! Silent and stealthy, the Japanese soldiers, who were focused on attacking the convoy, were completely unaware!

"Shhhhhhh!"

Tiger and his men moved quickly, taking down a figure and disappearing from their spot. Even if the Japanese soldiers spotted them, they wouldn't be able to detect where they were! The feeling of stealthily firing guns was incredibly exhilarating for everyone!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

However, just as they were taking down more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in one go, the enemy noticed something amiss. The Japanese soldiers, mimicking their actions, crouched down and launched a counterattack!

"Damn it! The Japanese are quick to react! Use the machine guns to take them out!" Tiger shouted the order.

Every ten men in their squad were equipped with two machine guns, far exceeding the standard equipment for Japanese soldiers. In this situation, using a machine gun to sweep their legs was the most satisfying method!

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

"Shhhhhhh!"

The two sides faced off in the cornfield, and the Japanese soldiers' attention was immediately drawn from the main road to the cornfield. A hail of bullets snapped large sections of corn stalks in two!

As the tide turned, the earlier fighting shifted into the cornfields, while the later fighting was nearing its end. Except for a few who escaped into the cornfields, Kato Oka's entire force was captured by a hail of arrows!

The "tail chase" problem has been solved, and the "blockade" has been drawn into the tall grass. If we don't run now, when will we?

The Japanese are after this shipment of supplies. Once the vehicles leave, the Japanese will be thrown into chaos! This will also relieve a lot of pressure on our brothers.

"Man Cang! Tell the brothers to drive off! When you get back, bring the entire Hound Team over! Remember to be quick!" Man Cang commanded in a deep voice.

“Okay! ...And what about you?” Mangui asked worriedly.

"Take the brothers in and hold off the Japanese! Let's go! Don't dawdle!" Mancang urged.

"Huh?...Should I stay and deal with the Japanese?..." Man Gui was worried! He was usually cunning and cowardly, but he knew who was good to him! Now, he would never hesitate to exchange his life for Man Cang's life!

"What are you babbling about? Hurry up and get the supplies back and get the Hound Team here as soon as possible! The rest of you brothers, go in from this side and hold off the Japanese!" Mancang kicked Mangui in the backside and then disappeared into the cornfield.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

"Shhhhhhh!"

The gunfire intensified, and large stalks of corn in the cornfield were snapped in two by bullets and fell to the ground.

"Let's go!" Seeing that things had come to this, Man Gui quickly called on his brothers to lift the large stone on the road and drive away.

Mancang is right. If we bring the Hound Team over sooner, these Japanese devils will never be able to escape!

"Boom!"

The convoy roared off into the distance, honking its horns loudly even after it was quite a distance away! As if afraid the Japanese wouldn't know!

……

"Baka! Those lowly people are driving away! Chase after them!" Kobayashi Kaijin naturally heard the horn and shouted at the top of his lungs.

However, by this time they were already firmly held back by Hu Zi, and it was impossible for them to leave! Those puppet troops were already like frightened birds, and whether they were hit or not, they lay on the ground and banged their heads against the ground, refusing to get up no matter how the Japanese soldiers tried to rouse them!

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The gunfire intensified, and the Japanese soldiers threw grenades to create a barrage of bullets in an attempt to escape the Mo Dao Regiment's entanglement!

This batch of supplies is for the front lines. If it gets lost in his hands, the consequences are unimaginable! We must retrieve the supplies and bring them back to the front lines, no matter the cost!

However, things rarely go as planned! By the time they emerged from the cornfield, there were fewer than a hundred of them left! With only this small force remaining from their original five hundred men, they were no longer in a position to fight the Mo Dao Gang to the death!

"Major! Major Kobayashi!... My men are all wiped out!... The enemy has driven the vehicle back to the camp!..." At this moment, Kato Oka also ran over from not far away, with only two Japanese soldiers left beside him!

"Baka yarou!..." All the resentment and grief turned into a single angry curse! From beginning to end, I still can't understand how such a promising situation could have ended in failure?

“Hey!” Kato Oka replied, equally unwilling.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Just as they were stunned and at a loss, gunshots rang out again from the cornfield behind them. Several Japanese soldiers fell to the ground instantly, while the others immediately took up positions and launched a counterattack!

"Give it up!" Kobayashi Huai-jin ordered reluctantly. He himself couldn't remember how many times he had ordered a retreat; ever since he took over from Nagano Yokoo and started dealing with the Mo Dao Group, retreating seemed to have become a habit for them!

However, with supplies lost, continuing to hold out would only increase casualties, and retreat seemed to be their only option!
