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

Without the pressure of eliminating the Mo Dao Regiment, these puppet troops now had to take on patrol duties. As for the few dozen Japanese soldiers, their morale was low and they desperately needed a victory to boost it!

Kato Oka felt a headache coming on at the thought. Right now, apart from the Mo Dao Group, there was no force in the surrounding area that dared to confront them. There wasn't even a single bandit. How could they let these soldiers vent their inner pressure and boost their morale?

……

On the position held by the 521st Regiment outside Seoul, Zhang Yiliang was directing his soldiers in a flurry of activity as they deployed their defenses. Intelligence indicated that the Yamazaki Battalion on the opposite side had broken camp and was advancing in their direction.

With a massive army pressing in, everyone tensed up!

"Reporting to the regimental commander! The Japanese are less than five kilometers away from the position. The artillery positions request permission to fire!" the chief of staff reported.

"Alright! Order the artillery company to open fire immediately and shoot down the Japanese tanks!" Zhang Yiliang ordered.

The Japanese actually deployed more than a dozen tanks to take this position! Destroying the Japanese tanks before they even arrive would mean winning half the battle!

"Yes, sir!" The chief of staff immediately turned around and went back to relay the order.

"Boom boom boom!"

Soon, the sound of cannons rang out, the whole earth trembled, and thick smoke rose in the distance!

"Good! Well done! Let's do it!" Zhang Yiliang shouted excitedly, holding up his binoculars!

Signals from the observation post indicated that this round of shelling destroyed two tanks! Such a combat effect is quite impressive, considering that since the start of the War of Resistance Against Japan, they haven't destroyed many Japanese tanks!

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

However, before the second round of shelling was over, a violent explosion was heard near the artillery position, with the nearest shell less than ten meters away from the position!

"Damn it! Are the Japanese reacting this fast? Notify the artillery company to withdraw immediately after the third round and activate artillery position number 2 immediately!" Zhang Yiliang ordered.

The first step in fighting the Japanese was artillery battles. If you could gain the upper hand in artillery fire, the battle would be much easier. But this was often difficult to achieve, and the Japanese always had the upper hand!

Therefore, Zhang Yiliang specifically ordered the artillery company to prepare multiple artillery positions, so that if one was exposed, the other could be quickly activated, hoping to avoid Japanese attacks by rapidly shifting positions.

"Boom boom boom!"

Sure enough, the Japanese shells had already found the first artillery position as soon as the third round of shelling ended! The shells landed on the position and exploded, kicking up several meters of dirt, and the mountain gun was destroyed! Fortunately, the artillerymen retreated in time, otherwise they would have been in danger!

抗战期间炮兵绝对是危险的职业，据后世人们统计1937年7月至1946年1月共损失各类火炮超过1400门，炮兵更是不计其数！

"Boom boom boom!"

The artillery battle continued, and the Japanese troops rapidly closed the distance under the cover of artillery fire. In addition to tracking the artillery positions, shells also struck the positions directly in front of them, and some soldiers who couldn't dodge in time were thrown high into the air and perished!

"Take cover from the shelling!" Zhang Yiliang ordered.

"Commander! The Japanese artillery fire is too intense! The forward observation post reports that their artillery positions are beyond the range of our mountain guns, making it impossible for them to cause any damage!" the chief of staff reported.

"Damn it! Those Japanese devils are just taking advantage of the fact that my artillery can't fire that far!" Zhang Yiliang cursed and continued shouting, "Sun Zhengyi! It's your company's turn! Take those guys and take over the Japanese artillery positions for me! Make sure their artillery is silenced within half an hour! Do you hear me?"

"Yes! Mission accomplished!" Sun Zhengyi shouted back from not far away.

His guard company hadn't been idle during this time! After returning from the Mo Dao Regiment, they quickly found craftsmen to make a swarm of bees and rockets, secretly practicing their volley-fire skills in the valley. This guy had been wanting to test his skills against the Japanese for a long time!

Sun Zhengyi quickly ordered the guard company to disengage from the battlefield, bypassing the area of ​​combat and rapidly advancing towards the Japanese artillery positions. After crossing a small hill and traversing a forest, they found the Japanese artillery positions stationed at the foot of the hill.

Dozens of Japanese soldiers stood guard around the position, rifles in hand, while five Type 92 infantry guns bombarded the position in shifts! The shell boxes alone were piled up into a small mountain!

"Damn it! The Japanese devils are trying to pry open the gates of Seoul with artillery shells! These shells alone could level the city walls!" A platoon leader exclaimed in shock as he looked at the mountain of shells.

"Let's get them! Do those little devils really think our Central Army is as cowardly as the local armies? They're just unlucky to run into our 521st Regiment!" the second platoon leader shouted.

"That's right! We'll fire all these captured shells at those tanks and give the Japanese a good thrashing in their own backyard!" the platoon leader shouted.

"Quiet down! Get ready all at once. We'll sneak down from behind and open fire once we're within range! Everyone stay silent, no one is allowed to make a sound! Understand?" Sun Zhengyi ordered.

"Yes!" the three platoon leaders replied.

"Alright, let's see what it's made of! Let's go!" Sun Zhengyi continued to give orders.

The Mo Dao Regiment, composed of peasants, was able to rout the Japanese with just these arrows. They were all well-trained regular soldiers, and there was no reason why they couldn't take down an artillery position!

What's more, besides the swarm of guns, they also have submachine guns supplied by the Americans! Wiping out this group of Japanese artillerymen should be a piece of cake!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Boom boom boom boom!"

When they were still 400 meters from the artillery position, they opened fire decisively, with more than a dozen planes igniting simultaneously, and a rain of arrows instantly covered the area.

The sudden volley of arrows caught the Japanese soldiers completely off guard! The Japanese soldiers on alert suddenly saw a swarm of fly-like things falling from the sky, not knowing what they were! Only when they saw the gleaming arrowheads did they realize the danger was imminent!

However, it was too late. The arrow pierced the Japanese soldier's chest and exploded rapidly, the dense iron filings instantly turning nearby Japanese soldiers into bloody messes! Instantly, screams of agony filled the battlefield!

"My God! Awesome! This thing is truly worthy of its name, 'A Swarm of Bees'! It's an essential weapon for murder and arson!"

"awesome!"

"This round will end the battle?! I didn't believe you when you told me how powerful that regiment was, but now I do! Having this thing is like holding a heavy machine gun! Awesome!"

"I'm impressed! The real masters are hidden among the common people. Our ancestors were right!"

"Stop being so sentimental, hurry up and take over the enemy's position, and give those little devils a good thrashing in the ass!" Sun Zhengyi interrupted everyone's sighs and gave the order.

"Yes! You can hold it!"

The capture of an artillery position boosted the team's confidence. Their performance in actual combat was truly unexpected; what was supposed to be a hard-fought battle was won so easily! Such a victory was unprecedented!
