"Put it in the kitchen on the first floor! You're a law-abiding citizen!" Shan Teng said, pointing to the small door on the side of the watchtower.

After saying this, the Japanese soldiers went about their business. As for Chief Ma, his lips were twitching and a little sore, but he still couldn't make them understand what he meant, so he had no choice but to follow the servants to unload the goods. Turning around, he saw the servants' unfriendly eyes and smiled even more obsequiously!

The carriage stopped beside the side gate of the watchtower, and the servants each carried a bundle of vegetables into the kitchen. The three puppet army cooks, who were washing pots and pans and cleaning the kitchen, were overjoyed to see so many fresh vegetables.

"Green beans, chili peppers, tomatoes, good, good, good, all good vegetables! Your master really treats the Imperial Army like his own father, this must have cost a lot of money, right?" The cook couldn't resist making a sarcastic remark while looking at all the vegetables.

This guy probably did it on purpose, because Chief Ma had already come in and was standing at the kitchen door watching everyone unload the goods! This kind of blatant humiliation is just...satisfying!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Before he could even see the other person's embarrassed expression, the servant pulled a strange crossbow from the vegetables. Then, a crossbow bolt loomed larger and larger in front of him, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest before losing all feeling!

These servants were naturally Man Cang and his men. They had pondered for most of the night before devising this plan to breach the pillbox from within, which led to the delivery of vegetables. Now that they had successfully infiltrated the pillbox, there was no need to be polite. Those despicable Japanese devils and traitors, get ready for their slaughter!

Seeing that the three cooks had been captured without alerting the Japanese soldiers inside, Mancang breathed a sigh of relief. He gestured for everyone to enter the pillbox through another door, while simultaneously nodding towards the entrance. The latter understood immediately, delivering a swift chop to Ma Baozhang's neck, knocking the old man unconscious. He quickly closed the kitchen door, bolted it, and even found several rolling pins to brace the door, making it difficult for the Japanese to open it from the outside!

After doing all this, Chong Mancang nodded and followed the others into the pillbox.

The circular pillbox wasn't large; the ground floor, except for the kitchen, was filled with guns, ammunition, and a few simple dining tables. Three Japanese soldiers were lying on guard at the firing ports, while two others sat at the tables smoking. One of them, seeing the servants enter with crossbows, immediately launched into a tirade of curses:

"idiot……"

"Shhhhhhh!"

But he was interrupted by an arrow as soon as he spoke. A crossbow bolt struck him squarely in the neck, and he could no longer utter a word. He stared wide-eyed as he met Amaterasu!

The other four, like him, had no idea what was happening. They felt a sharp pain in their backs and died, ending their sinful lives!

"Awesome! Those Japanese devils aren't superhuman after all..." Man Gui, excited after shooting down a Japanese soldier, wanted to ramble on. Man Xiang quickly interrupted, "This isn't the time to be smug!"

Mancang, standing not far away, also stared blankly for a moment, then raised his hand to direct everyone to continue searching upwards. There were still quite a few Japanese soldiers outside and above; exposing them now would be like being rats in a bellows!

Fortunately, the commotion did not attract the attention of the Japanese soldiers. The group quickly closed the gate, bolted it, and searched up the wooden stairs.

The second floor housed two Type 96 light machine guns, each guarded by two Japanese soldiers. There was no fighting at the moment, and the two soldiers huddled together, chatting idly. Nearby, a dozen or so other Japanese soldiers stood guard at their firing ports, equally relaxed and chatting casually, their expressions light and cheerful.

Little did they know that the Grim Reaper's scythe was already approaching silently. Several crossbows emerged from the stairwell, and "whoosh whoosh whoosh..." the crossbow bolts pierced the air and struck the backs of the Japanese soldiers! These Japanese soldiers died without ever knowing why arrows were shot from behind!

Having successfully captured the second floor, which is the most important counterattack area of ​​the pillbox from a high vantage point, the operation is halfway to success, and everyone sees a glimmer of hope for victory!

Man Cang signaled for his men to quickly take up firing positions. They had all seen and knew how to use the Japanese guns and cannons during training. However, without live-fire training, their accuracy was another matter entirely!

But we can't worry about that now. As long as we control the Japanese and puppet troops on the second floor, we won't be a problem!

Half of the men stayed behind to keep watch, while Mancang led the other half to continue searching upwards.

The third floor was where the Japanese soldiers lived, with tatami mats neatly arranged with bedding and pillows. Further inside, there was an office, complete with desks, chairs, and a telephone.

At first glance, there were no Japanese soldiers in sight, but two "corpses" were leaning against the outer wall of the office, bound hand and foot!

"Tiger! It's Tiger!" Manxiang exclaimed, but he only made a whispered sound, so his voice wasn't loud.

Everyone looked over and saw one of them covered with a tattered garment that revealed a large expanse of white skin. The blood on his chin had dried, and he leaned peacefully against another person with his eyes closed.

Another person, with empty eyes and covered in blood, sat there silently. His forehead was a bloody mess—this was Tiger, the boy they were trying to rescue! But he remained motionless, his fate unknown…

"..." Everyone felt as if something was choking them, and they were extremely frustrated because they wanted to shout but couldn't!

Man Cang shook his head, bringing himself back to his senses. The battle was far from over; now was not the time to be distracted! He beckoned two people to go check, then led the rest to continue searching upwards!

Everyone snapped out of their daze, forcibly suppressing their grief and anger, and followed Mancang up to the next floor.

At the end of the stairs was the roof of the pillbox, guarded by two machine guns, and a Japanese soldier observing the surroundings from his vantage point. A Japanese flag fluttered in the wind atop a bamboo pole in the center!

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Just then, the sound of machine guns rang out downstairs, followed by a barrage of gunfire outside the pillbox! Instantly, the area around the pillbox became as lively as boiling water!

The Japanese soldiers on the rooftop heard the gunshots and quickly looked down, but before they could figure out what was going on, they heard the voices of the Chinese behind them.

"Attack!" Man Cang decisively ordered upon seeing the situation.

"Shhhhhhh!"

Arrows covered the entire rooftop, and in an instant, the five Japanese soldiers were turned into hedgehogs, their bodies riddled with arrows, and they were beyond dead!

"Strafe with machine guns!" Ignoring the Japanese soldiers, Mancang quickly arrived at the edge of the pillbox, glanced down, and gave the order.

Downstairs, a group of Japanese soldiers and puppet troops were fiercely attacking the pillbox, while two Type 11 light machine guns in the bunker were firing loudly with their heads tilted back! A group of Japanese soldiers and puppet troops were blocking the entrance of the pillbox and pounding on the door, but due to the limited angle, the machine guns on the second floor could not hit that area at all.

"Damn it! I've been eyeing this thing for ages! Let's have some fun today!" Qingquan threw down his crossbow, kicked aside two Japanese soldiers, grabbed his machine gun, and started firing. His excited expression was as if he were enjoying a carnival!
