"Looking at the mountain makes one's horse run itself to death." From the farmland to the entrance of the Ten Thousand Cave, it's at least a kilometer, and it's a mountain road. Even though the Japanese soldiers were shouting loudly, their running speed couldn't be that fast. After passing through two terraced fields, the road descends to smooth rock slabs. Only one small path has been slightly repaired and is somewhat level; the rest of the area is sharp rock, making it impossible to move quickly.

Below the rock slab lies the valley floor, and the Ten Thousand People Cave is located in the central area of ​​the rock slab. A stone wall surrounding the cave entrance is more than a meter high, making it difficult to spot from a distance unless someone is going in and out.

"Shhhhhhh!"

When the Japanese soldiers and their collaborators stepped onto the rocky slab, they were met with a hail of arrows! Without the obstruction of the jungle, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers and their collaborators fell to the ground immediately after being hit by the arrows!

"Ah! My leg!..."

"Ouch!..."

"His~~~"

A chorus of groans erupted as several men, struck in vital areas, collapsed to the ground, barely breathing, and before they could even struggle twice, they met their demise!

"Baka! Scatter! Find cover!" Yamato was shocked and pulled out an arrow from beside him to examine it closely. Could an arrow and a gunpowder cartridge really produce such an effect?

That attack was terrifying. A huge swarm of smoking arrows flew in, leaving nowhere to hide. This was on a mountain with only one road; imagine how many men would be lost in a large-scale march across the open field?

"Shhhhhhh!"

Before they could think any further, a whooshing sound rang out and countless black dots appeared in the sky again. The dots magnified in everyone's eyes and turned into arrows that fell into the crowd, and several more people fell to the ground, struck by arrows.

This time, the losses will be less due to the cover, but they are also suppressed behind the cover and dare not show their faces!

"This is... a firework?..." Wu Erdan pulled out an arrow and examined it closely. He had never seen or even heard of such an arrow before! Could something used for firecrackers during the New Year be used to fight Japanese soldiers?

Wu Erdan was bewildered. What kind of team could use such crudely made weapons to this extent? It must be at least 300 meters from the cave entrance to here! Can a rocket really travel 300 meters? If that's the case, how could those Japanese soldiers withstand the attack? If all the units were equipped with weapons like this, wouldn't the Japanese have already fled with their tails between their legs?

"Baka! A bunch of lowly people, what can they do? Fight back! Rabbit, give it your all!" Kato roared, putting down his binoculars.

I just saw through the binoculars that there were only a dozen or so people with broadswords guarding the stone wall, and two wooden tubes being manipulated by two people and aimed in this direction. Those arrows must have been fired from those tubes!

With such limited firepower, what are they afraid of? The mighty Imperial Japanese Army isn't afraid of a dozen or so lowly civilians! With their marksmanship, a single charge would take them out!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

Gunfire quickly erupted, bullets scattering sparks as they hit the rocks!

After the first round of attacks, they raised their binoculars again to look around. More than a dozen heads appeared one after another on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, and two wooden tubes were smashed to pieces and scattered all over the place!

In other words, they only destroyed two wooden tubes in this round, and didn't hurt a single person!

What kind of miracle is this? When did the Imperial Army's marksmanship become so bad?

But now is not the time to study these things. Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. Even if they turn around and retreat now, it's too late! With those flying arrows coming, none of them will be able to escape once they turn around!

"Yoshi! The arrows of the lowly people have been shattered! Rabbit, give it your all! Eliminate the pretty girls among these lowly people!" Shan Teng shouted again.

The enemy only has arrows and a broadsword; the wooden tube has been smashed, so the broadsword is no longer a threat!

"Yoshi! Get to work, pretty girl!"

"May all the lowly people die, die!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

The Japanese soldiers and their collaborators launched another attack, howling as they rushed towards the cave entrance. Knowing that the wooden tubes had been shattered and the enemy was unarmed, these men lost all fear; a dozen or so men were no problem at all if they charged in!

Unfortunately, it was just wishful thinking on their part. Although the dozen or so lowly civilians were suppressed by the powerful firepower and dared not show their faces, they were not without guns! Just as the Japanese and puppet troops rushed in two hundred meters, two bowl-sized holes appeared in the middle of the stone wall, and two Type 11 light machine guns emerged from the holes, instantly spewing out two long fire snakes!

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

Two fiery snakes instantly covered the entire stone slab. Caught off guard, a large number of the Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out in an instant, and the remaining men quickly sought cover to hide.

"Baka! It's them! It's the group of servants who attacked the pillbox!" When Shan Teng saw the machine gun fire snake, he immediately realized that the so-called Zhao Village was the hiding place of those servants. They were all one family!

"Servants?...That's it! Where would ordinary people get crooked weapons?" Wu Erdan instantly understood, and his desire to retreat could no longer be shaken off!

First came arrows like wasps, then machine guns; their few dozen men were no match for them. They couldn't even defeat them last time, and they certainly wouldn't succeed this time!

He only managed to escape last time; will he be so lucky this time?

"Let's retreat! Once we've located them, these lowly people won't be able to escape. Quickly report to Major Inoue, and make sure none of them are let go!" Watanabe Sando urged from the side.

"No! No way! We can't escape! Send someone to town to get reinforcements!" Yamato said, handing the binoculars to Watanabe Sando so he could see for himself.

"Huh?..." Watanabe Sando was also puzzled. If they couldn't beat them, couldn't they at least escape? Those dozen or so lowly people could only be barely suppressed by relying on the stone wall. Would they dare to chase after them if they escaped?

He quickly found the answer through his binoculars: the horde of lowly people had set up two more wooden tubes on the stone wall! Behind each tube were two people fiddling with something, and as soon as they stepped out of their shelter, those flying arrows would surely turn them into pincushions!

"Baka! Smash those two wooden tubes!" There's no point in saying more; if they don't smash those things, they'll all die in this ravine!

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

Soon the machine guns on this side started firing again, forming a standoff with the machine guns on the other side of the stone wall. The people on both sides were suppressed and dared not raise their heads.

The Japanese soldiers were protected by a stone wall, making it difficult to fire machine guns into the bowl-sized hole in the rock. Meanwhile, the marksmen on the other side were clearly not skilled enough; their machine guns roared, but the bullets only created a flurry of sparks around their gunners, without hitting anyone!

Even so, no one else dared to show their face, because being hit by a stray bullet was no joke!

"Shoot down those two wooden tubes!" Kato quickly ordered the Japanese soldiers beside him again.
