However, the Chinese fishermen were not intimidated by their weapons. Although their equipment was outdated, their unwavering belief in protecting Chinese waters from invasion made them fearless.

A young Chinese fisherman quickly ran to the hold of the fishing boat and laboriously carried out an old-fashioned cannon. The cannon looked very old, with the marks of time on its body and some wear on the barrel, but it was still a powerful weapon for Chinese fishermen to defend their rights.

"Don't be afraid, everyone! We'll fight them!" he shouted, his voice firm and powerful, echoing across the sea like a resounding bell.

Other Chinese fishermen also responded, picking up old-fashioned muskets. Although these muskets were slow to load and had a short range, they firmly believed that as long as they were united, they would be able to resist the invasion of Japanese fishermen.

The Chinese fishermen quickly adjusted the position of their cannons, aiming them at the Japanese fishing boats. Although they knew that their cannons were far inferior to the Japanese fishermen's weapons in terms of power and range, they did not back down in the slightest.

Their eyes gleamed with determination, and they declared to the Japanese fishermen through their actions and attitude: This sea area belongs to us, and we will never give it up.

The Japanese fishermen did not expect the Chinese to be so defiant. They had already looked down on the Chinese, and now that they saw that the Chinese had no intention of leaving, they opened fire on the Chinese fishermen.

The sharp gunshots were deafening. The Chinese fishermen scrambled for cover, and then a shout of "Fire!" rang out as they lit the cannons.

With a deafening roar, the cannon spewed out a plume of smoke, and a shell whistled towards the Japanese fishing boat. The shell traced an arc across the sea before landing near the boat, creating a huge splash.

Although the shell did not directly hit the Japanese fishing boat, it gave the Japanese fishermen a fright.

"Damn it! These Chinese dare to resist!" the Japanese fishermen shouted angrily. They pulled the triggers one after another, and the semi-automatic rifles made a "rat-a-tat-tat" sound, with bullets raining down on the Chinese fishing boat.

At the same time, they moved their boat back a little, pointed their cannons at the Chinese fishing boat, and then opened fire.

Upon seeing this, the Chinese fishermen scattered, some hiding behind the gunwales and others lying on the deck, but they continued to fight back resolutely without backing down.

The old-fashioned muskets made "bang bang" sounds. Although the gunshots were not as frequent as those of semi-automatic rifles, every shot fired by the Chinese fishermen carried their anger towards the Japanese fishermen and their desire to protect Chinese waters.

During the fierce firefight, a Chinese fishing boat was unfortunately hit by bullets from Japanese fishermen, and the boat burst into flames.
