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

"Haha, congratulations, Commander! Your sister has found a good brother-in-law! We're all family, so let's not stand on ceremony. If we can recruit this Mo Dao Regiment, the Yamazaki Battalion on the other side will be no threat!" the Chief of Staff congratulated.

"Haha, yes, yes, yes! We're all one family, so it's only right that we unite as one and fight together! This will also give the Mo Dao Regiment a bright future!" The battalion commander congratulated them.

"Go away, it's not even close to being a done deal yet!" Zhang Yiliang said with a laugh.

He was fortunate to hear news of his sister. If Zhao Mancang was really as good as Platoon Leader Sun had said, then his sister would be a good match! This way, he could focus on fighting the enemy on the front lines without any worries!

After the report, the officers stayed behind to continue discussing the current battle situation, while Platoon Leader Sun left his Mo Dao to rest. Not long after, the officers left the regimental headquarters, and Platoon Leader Sun quietly returned to Regimental Commander Zhang Yiliang.

"Hmm? Is something the matter, Xiao Sun?" Zhang Yiliang asked, putting down the Mo Dao he was holding.

"Yes! Before leaving, Zhao Mancang, the commander of the Mo Dao Regiment, wrote a letter and specifically instructed me to deliver it to the commander when no one was around!" Platoon Leader Sun took the letter out of his pocket and handed it to the other party.

"Oh?..." Zhang Yiliang took the letter, his heart brimming with curiosity. Anyone would be curious to receive a letter from a complete stranger!

Zhang Yiliang took the letter, opened it, and his elegant cursive script appeared on the paper.

Brother Yiliang:

Seeing this letter is like seeing you in person! Although we have never met, we are still the closest of family! My sister and I are not married, but we are already in love, so we are family!

Since we're family, there's no need to hide anything. Here are two weapons passed down from our ancestors, which I hope will help my brother in battle.

One type is the Mo Dao (陌刀) that Platoon Leader Sun brought back. Originating in the Han Dynasty and flourishing in the Tang Dynasty, it is a powerful weapon for bayonet fighting against the Japanese and is particularly effective against cavalry! Platoon Leader Sun has already learned the specific sword techniques and routines. Brother Yiliang can observe its effects before making a decision.

Another type is called "Swarm of Bees," which is inconvenient to carry because it needs to cross the Japanese defense line. Blueprints and manufacturing instructions are included; you can have someone make a sample to test its effectiveness—it's definitely a powerful weapon for group attacks!

Platoon Leader Sun and the old man both advised me to take my brothers and join Brother Yiliang. However, I dislike constraints and am unwilling to engage in infighting within your army. I apologize for being unable to comply and ask for your understanding!

Your army is not lacking in talented individuals; you could say it has no shortage of civil and military officials. However, the upper echelons of your army are corrupt, plagued by infighting and a complete lack of strategic vision, and their fate is already sealed. I urge you, Brother Yiliang, to carefully consider this and make plans as soon as possible!

As an outsider, I believe Liao Yunzhou is a responsible general. Brother Yiliang, you should get to know him better and follow him as soon as possible. This is my honest opinion; don't ask why, I don't know him personally, it's just an outsider's observation and judgment. Whether it's true or not is entirely up to you to decide!

Finally, all my family members are safe and sound. Brother Yiliang, you can fight on the front lines with peace of mind. I will ensure the safety of the family! One last reminder: burn this after reading to avoid any trouble.

Respectfully submitted by brother-in-law Zhao Mancang!

"Damn it! Hahahaha..." Zhang Yiliang was both angry and delighted after reading the letter! He was angry because this guy was so shameless; he was already calling himself his brother-in-law before anything had even happened? What gave him the right?

The good news is that, according to Platoon Leader Sun's description, both of these weapons are their powerful offensive weapons. The fact that he was able to hand them over to me like this shows that he really doesn't consider me an outsider!

As for his reminder, let's just take it with a grain of salt and not consider whether it's true or not for now.

Then I looked at the drawings they provided, and they seemed pretty convincing!

"Little Sun, the letter says you've learned how to use this Mo Dao (陌刀), come outside and practice with it!" Zhang Yiliang asked curiously.

Could such a broadsword really deal with Japanese cavalry? Zhang Yiliang found it hard to believe.

"Yes, sir!" Platoon Leader Sun was overjoyed, shouldered his longsword, and walked outside. Once in the open space, he struck a pose and began to demonstrate his skills meticulously, looking quite impressive and convincing!

"Hey! You've improved your skills in just a few days! Come on, give me a bayonet and let's have a go!" Zhang Yiliang beckoned to the soldier on guard and asked for a bayonet, ready to test his skills with Platoon Leader Sun.

"Oh? Commander, be careful! This thing is quite heavy. If you lose control of your strength and hurt the Commander, that would be terrible!" Platoon Leader Sun said worriedly.

"Don't give me that! Just go for it! Even the Japanese aren't a match for me, and you think you can hurt me with those two moves? Hurry up!" Zhang Yiliang wasn't listening to his rambling and urged him on.

"Then...you go first!"

"Seriously? Watch out!"

As Zhang Yiliang spoke, he raised his spear and thrust it straight at the opponent's chest. He had killed many Japanese soldiers with this single move!

"Whoosh~ Clang~ Sizzle~"

With a flick, a push, and a slash, Sun, the platoon leader, deflected the enemy's bayonet. The cold blade of the slash was already at Zhang Yiliang's neck; with a little more force, the regimental commander would be decapitated!

"Heh! You've got some skills! Let's go again!" Zhang Yiliang was unconvinced and pushed aside the opponent's broadsword, raising his own sword to slash again.

"ding-ding-ding-ding-ding"

Three more impacts, and the long-handled sword was once again held to his neck!

"Holy crap! Is it really that awesome?" Zhang Yiliang became much more serious about it.

"Commander, this time we obtained a sword, an arrow, and a song from the Mo Dao Regiment. These three items are your brother-in-law's three magic weapons for defeating enemies. Would you like to give them a try?"

"What the hell? The knife is this Mo Dao, right? The arrows are that 'swarm of bees'? I can understand that these are weapons, but what kind of song are you talking about? Can singing kill the Japanese? Do you know the Lion's Roar Kung Fu?" Zhang Yiliang was completely confused.

"Ah? No, no, no, this song is called 'Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty,' it's very morale-boosting!"

"Boost morale? Then sing it for us!"

"Alright! With the smoke of war rising, we look northwards across the land..."

And you know what? When he belted out "Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty" in his raspy voice, it actually had a really heroic feel to it! It even made Zhang Yiliang, who was standing next to him, feel a surge of heroic spirit!

"Good! Well sung! From today onwards, you're in charge of the guard company! You can choose any soldier in the entire regiment. Quickly master this sword technique and that 'swarm of bees'! Also, teach the whole regiment this song 'Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty' as soon as possible! In the next battle, you'll be the vanguard!" Zhang Yiliang made the decision in one go.

"Yes, sir! I promise I won't let you down!" Platoon Leader Sun was overjoyed; this was a promotion!

"Go! Ask the chief of staff for anything you need. Let's see just how powerful this swarm really is in three days!"

"Yes!"

At first, I didn't take it seriously when Platoon Leader Sun talked about how powerful the Mo Dao Regiment was, but after this test, I immediately realized that they were no ordinary enemy. Since the weapons had been delivered, we naturally had to try them out. If they were really as powerful as Platoon Leader Sun said, what chance would the Japanese have?

If I can really defeat the enemy with this sword, this arrow, and this song, what's wrong with acknowledging this brother-in-law? He's already said we're family, so why would I forget my brother-in-law if there are any benefits?
