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

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

Without saying a word, Tiger raised his gun and fired into the sky. Whether he hit the plane or not, he wanted to attract the plane first!

Sure enough, as soon as the gunshots rang out, the planes chased after them.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

"Dang-dang-dang!"

The bullets clanged as they hit the tank; thankfully, it was a tank and withstood the bullets. If it had been a large truck, it would have been riddled with bullets!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Boom boom boom boom!"

Just then, a burst of explosions rang out from the other side of the playground, and a rain of arrows shot straight into the sky, heading straight for the large birds.

Perhaps the Japanese underestimated the Mo Dao Regiment, taking advantage of their lack of anti-aircraft weapons and their low-flying pursuit of the crowd, only to be caught in a hail of arrows! The result was truly spectacular!

A plane, billowing black smoke, crashed down and destroyed a large area of ​​military camps!

"Good! Well done! Keep it up!" Tiger was so excited to have taken down a plane that he danced around with joy, and the machine gun in his hand roared even louder!

"Well done!" Mancang saw this scene from the front as well. Shooting down planes in a swarm isn't necessarily a bad thing! Even a bird hitting a plane at high altitude can trigger a chase, let alone rockets! A range of 400 meters isn't necessarily a bad thing; it's possible to go head-to-head with a plane!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Boom boom boom boom!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Boom boom boom boom!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Boom boom boom boom!"

The first strike was effective, which greatly boosted the confidence of the brothers. Several planes were fired up at the same time, and the sky was immediately filled with rockets!

"boom!"

The plane chasing Mancang and his men was hit squarely and exploded in mid-air with a loud bang, scattering sparks all over the ground!

The last aircraft reacted quickly, seeing the rain of arrows rising, it immediately increased its altitude and turned to escape. However, it still couldn't escape the attack and flew away into the distance, trailing black smoke!

"Get on the city walls and set up defenses!" Man Cang quickly ordered after seeing the plane escape.

Knowing the Japanese's nature, they certainly wouldn't just send planes to bomb indiscriminately and be done with it; there would definitely be more to come. We haven't even had a chance to properly enjoy this newly acquired county town; we can't let the Japanese take it back!

The brothers, without even checking their injuries, grabbed their weapons and rushed towards the city wall. Soon, all sorts of weapons were in place, and the brothers waited with serious expressions for the arrival of the Japanese soldiers.

An air raid came and went quickly, completely disrupting their plans. They had assumed the Japanese, having suffered heavy casualties, would have fled with their tails between their legs, but who would have thought they would suddenly launch a counterattack and throw the entire county into chaos!

After the bombing, large areas of the city were reduced to ruins. The civilians who had gathered to celebrate were caught in the crossfire and suffered heavy casualties! People lost their loved ones, and far too many were left homeless and displaced. The sound of weeping could be heard everywhere, and the entire county was in tears!

The work of comforting the victims after the bombing was arduous. Zhang Youcai organized the people to gather all the bodies of the victims on the playground and set up a mourning hall to pay their respects.

At the same time, several spacious places were selected to set up temporary tents, and food was brought in to set up soup kitchens. Those with food contributed food, and those with strength contributed strength, sticking together to help each other overcome the difficulties!

True friendship is revealed in times of great adversity; the more frantic the Japanese invaders became, the more united the people grew – this is the spirit of our nation!

……

Two hours ago, in Shijiawan, the southernmost village of Guya County, Tatsuo Shigeshita gathered over five hundred Japanese soldiers and amassed them there, awaiting the results of the bombing raids ahead. The villagers had already been slaughtered, and the entire village still reeked of blood!

"Reporting to Colonel Yamazaki, Colonel Yamazaki called to say that he will launch an air raid on Guya County in half an hour, and we should be prepared!" The communications soldier ran over with a telegraph machine on his back to report.

"Alright! Order the troops to set off immediately and attack the county town after the air raid! Tonight, everyone should have a good time in the county town!" Tatsuo Shigeshita ordered.

The current force, formed over three days by drawing personnel from surrounding counties and towns, is dedicated to retaking the county seat and eliminating the Mo Dao Gang. According to intelligence, today is the day the Mo Dao Gang officially moves into the county seat. Hopefully, our old rival will appreciate this grand gesture!

"Hi!" the communications soldier replied.

Soon, the army of more than 500 men marched in orderly steps toward the county town, but this time they were obviously much more shabby than the last time.

Not only were the number of soldiers reduced by half, but they also lacked powerful artillery, and they still had the last tank. The soldiers' morale was also much lower than before!

But Commander Zhixia Longnan was even more confident! He had spent two days dismantling the side panels of the large truck bed, welding them onto guards for four men to hold up. The panels were made of thick sheet metal and supported by a frame; even grenades couldn't break them. He believed they could easily withstand the barrage of arrows from the Mo Dao Regiment!

With bombing from the planes and protection from the barricades, it would be a piece of cake to retake the county town and wipe out the Mo Dao gang!

The troops' march was slowed down considerably by the barriers. When they had passed through a town and were about ten kilometers away from the county seat, they received another telegram from Colonel Yamazaki!

The message was equally simple: "Task cancelled, withdraw immediately!"

These eight short words left Zhixia Longnan completely bewildered. Why? The explosion had already happened, so why was it canceled?

"Baka! Send a reply immediately! My unit is less than 20 kilometers from the county seat and can launch an attack in an hour. The enemy has just been bombed, and my unit has found a way to defeat them. Request permission to continue the mission. We are confident we can take advantage of the situation to inflict heavy damage on the Mo Dao Regiment!"

He was extremely unwilling to give up the mission like this! A large force of a thousand men had been almost completely wiped out by the enemy. Those artillery fire, those tanks... How could he face them if he slunk back like this?

Colonel Yamazaki's reply was also very swift, and this time it was a bit longer.

"The air raid has been thwarted. Two of the three aircraft have been destroyed by enemy arrows, and the last one is severely damaged and beyond repair! The enemy has deployed a strong defense on the city walls, and your unit has no chance of victory! Execute the order! The Empire's resources cannot be wasted like this!"

His words were sharp and his attitude resolute; under such circumstances, it was absolutely unacceptable for him to make unnecessary sacrifices for the sake of his own face!

"What?... Baka yarou! How could an arrow pose a threat to an airplane?..." Tatsuo Shigeshita couldn't understand it at all. How could an arrow possibly hit an airplane?

Before the experiment, Mancang never imagined that rockets could damage aircraft, but it happened anyway! A hail of rockets shot into the air and brought down the arrogant plane. What could he do if he couldn't understand it?

"Lieutenant Colonel, why don't we send someone to scout ahead?" Takahashi Nobuo suggested, leaning closer.

"Sodes! Quickly send someone to check. Even if the arrow rain is powerful, can it really damage an aircraft?" Tatsuo Shigehira agreed with his suggestion. If it were that powerful, they would be utterly defeated in this battle!

"Hi!"

The soldiers who had gathered information returned shortly afterward. Just as the telegram had said, the enemy was already on the city wall, ready for battle. Charging in would be suicide!
