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

Three days later, the Mo Dao troupe successfully entered the county seat of Guya County. The people were overjoyed and lined the streets to welcome them. Shops set off firecrackers, and young women and wives tied red sashes around their waists and danced in front of the troupe members, making the young men's eyes widen in amazement! It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a scene of deafening drums, firecrackers, and a sea of ​​people!

Three days ago, the attack on Qingquan went very smoothly. The Japanese soldiers and puppet troops defending the city were no match for the brothers. A rain of arrows blew them away one by one! The puppet troops simply knelt down and surrendered without any resistance!

"Fellow villagers! I am Zhang Youcai from the east end of the county town. After several days and nights of bloody fighting, the brothers of the Modao Regiment have completely driven the Japanese devils out of Guya County, and we are all saved!" Zhang Youcai spoke while standing on a table at the entrance of the former military police compound, surrounded by a dense crowd of people.

"Good! I've been looking forward to the arrival of the Mo Dao Regiment for a long time!"

"It's Zhang Youcai from the Chamber of Commerce! I heard he's in Xiahou Town as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, overseeing the land allocation. We poor folks have hope now!"

"That's right! I've heard that in Xiahou Town and Qilixiang, everyone has land to cultivate and only pays 10% rent! Everyone is a landlord, and no one goes hungry anymore!"

"Great! It's good that the Japanese devils have been driven away and the Mo Dao Regiment is in charge. Heaven has opened its eyes!"

"We can call our children back now! Our ancient county has changed! We'll never be bullied by the Japanese devils again!"

"Yes, yes, let all the children come back! Only when we are with our children and grandchildren can we be a family. Before, we were just suffering!"

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me! Many of you have heard about the policy of Qilixiang in Xiahou Town, right? With the instruction of the Modao Group, I will still be the one to establish a chamber of commerce to manage the daily affairs of the entire county. The policy is the same as those two townships: land will be distributed to everyone to cultivate together according to the number of people, and commerce, handicrafts, and business will be encouraged! As long as everyone can improve their lives, they can pick up their old skills and start doing them again!" Zhang Youcai said familiarly.

With the successful experience of the two townships, these things will be much easier to do! Just copy them, and with such a good policy and the support of the Modao Regiment, it will be very easy to implement!

"That's good! That's good! I've heard that the market in Xiahou Town is even more lively than the old county town! The people there are living such comfortable lives!"

"Now we have land to cultivate! My wife shouldn't be nagging me to go back to her parents' house anymore!"

"My family's ancestral tofu-making skills can finally be revived! My life has been worth it! I've finally waited for this day!"

"Yes, yes, yes, my family's tailor shop can reopen!"

“However, there are rules to follow in doing business. Our Mo Dao Gang has strict discipline! We absolutely forbid us from engaging in opium, brothels, and casinos! No matter who it is, if they get involved in these three businesses, our Mo Dao Gang will never let them off the hook!” Zhang Youcai continued seriously.

"That's good! Opium is killing people! Traitors and Japanese devils use opium to bleed the people dry, we can't do that!"

"Alright! Since ancient times, gambling, drugs, and prostitution have caused immense harm to people. We can't touch them, and neither can anyone else!"

"Good! Good! These rules are well established!"

Too many people have been ruined by opium addiction, their families torn apart, their lives destroyed, forced to sell their children and become playthings for others. This rule is absolutely popular and beneficial for generations to come, and these working-class people naturally expressed their support. Some families who had been harmed by gambling, drugs, and prostitution even broke down in tears on the spot, lamenting that if this rule had existed earlier, they wouldn't have ended up in such a state.

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, the roar of airplanes filled the sky above the county town, followed by a violent explosion! In the distance, huge plumes of smoke rose, and buildings collapsed into ruins!

"Run! The Japanese planes are coming!" Zhang Youcai, who was on a high vantage point, saw the situation most clearly and shouted at the top of his lungs.

He'd just said he'd driven the Japanese away and would never be bullied by them again, and not long after, Japanese planes came to bomb him! His old face was ripped off and stomped on! And Man Cang, really, he didn't even warn us beforehand about the Japanese bombing! How many people are going to die?

"Run out of the city quickly!"

"Don't hide inside the house!"

"Who's stepping on my butt?!"

"Damn it! Who knocked me down?"

The scene was chaotic; people wished they had extra legs. Stampedes were inevitable as people jostled and trampled each other. It was the first time the civilians had experienced an air raid, and they had no idea where to run. They were scattered like chickens, jumping from one place to another – a truly horrific sight!

"Get into the compound! Quickly! Everyone get into the compound! Spread out on the parade ground!" Zhang Youcai shouted loudly, seeing the dire situation. With so many people, only the military police parade ground could be used; whether they could escape unscathed depended on their individual fates!

"Quickly! Get into the compound!"

"Let's go to the playground!"

"Damn those Japanese devils!..."

Hearing Zhang Youcai's shout, everyone seemed to have found their anchor and joined in the shouting. The crowd immediately surged into the courtyard, hiding behind whatever they could find on the playground. Low walls, dry bridges, parallel bars—they hid first, regardless of whether it was useful or not!

……

Mancang was discussing the defense of the county town with the battalion commanders in the barracks when a sudden explosion startled them all! They had just captured the county town and hadn't made any preparations. If the Japanese were to bomb it indiscriminately, all their previous efforts would be wasted!

"Keep calm! Figure out what's going on first! Send troops out of the city to scout, in case the Japanese launch a surprise attack!" Man Cang ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir!" The battalion commanders quickly went out to get to work.

Mancang and Huzi climbed onto the roof and observed through binoculars. Three bombers circled overhead, dropping bombs indiscriminately like dumplings being dropped into a pot. They systematically ravaged the buildings below from south to north, leaving behind only ruins in their wake!

Two more planes were chasing the crowd and firing continuously. Bullets rained down from the sky, and people running on the playground fell in droves!

"Damn it! The Japanese devils are going to turn the whole county into ruins! What are we going to do? There are no balloons here!" Tiger was heartbroken. They just entered the city and this happened. Is this something a human would do?

"Tiger, do you dare to take the risk and lure the plane to Mafang Village?" Mancang asked in a deep voice, looking at the panicked crowd.

"Alright! Just tell me how to do it!" Tiger was a daredevil; there was nothing he wouldn't dare to do when fighting the Japanese!

"Let's go! Grab the machine gun and drive the tank!" Mancang shouted, jumping off the house and running towards the playground.

Tiger followed closely behind, and after getting off the ground, he went into the house, grabbed a Czech-made gun, and followed them.

"Fire into the air! Shoot them all!" the two shouted as they jumped into the tank.

"Boom!" The tank started up, found the gate, and drove through!
