After the day they annihilated 100,000 Japanese troops, the two sides became completely locked in combat.
Qi An led the soldiers of the southern city and began a one-sided massacre. In each battle, he did not accept surrender and took no prisoners.
Once we clash, it's either you or me who dies.
The soldiers in the south city also suffered many casualties; how can there be zero casualties in a war?
Only those soldiers who survived the trials of blood and fire became the sharpest blades that made the Japanese tremble.
However, compared to the number of Japanese soldiers killed, it was a near-perfect one-to-ten exchange.
While this certainly boosts morale, the robust physique nurtured by innate spiritual energy also plays a significant role.
At the same time, the food problem was also solved incidentally. How was it solved? By simply looting it, of course.
Weapons can be stolen, so why can't we steal food?
Besides, where did the Japanese army get its food? It came from looting the people of Nancheng after they captured it.
So they simply took back what originally belonged to them.
Qi An led his soldiers to fight the Japanese invaders at the front, while the people voluntarily took on the responsibilities of the rear area.
The able-bodied men were responsible for transporting food and supplies, promptly carrying wounded soldiers off the battlefield for treatment, cleaning up the battlefield after the battle, and collecting spoils of war.
They were also responsible for distributing the things Qi An had taken back to everyone.
When dealing with the Japanese soldiers, Qi An used their previous policy: kill them all, loot them all, and burn them all.
The Japanese devils burned the houses, fields, and property of ordinary people, while Qi'an burned the corpses of the Japanese devils.
The women were not idle either; they took care of the soldiers' meals and clothing, ensuring that they could go to the battlefield in warm cotton-padded clothes and have hot meals when they came off the battlefield.
Tie Dan demonstrated his intelligence-gathering abilities, and Qi An assigned him to the reconnaissance squad.
From top to bottom, everyone in the southern city was busy, doing what they could to drive the Japanese invaders out of their homes as soon as possible.
Gradually, the number of Japanese troops dwindled, and they abandoned their previous arrogant style, forced to adopt roundabout tactics and even hide.
The situation has completely reversed; the soldiers in the southern city have gone from being surrounded and hunted down to now taking the initiative to attack.
Meanwhile, the nation's army is also working hard outside, and it will only take a few days to retake Nancheng.
That day, Tie Dan rushed to Qi An's camp and brought him some news.
"You mean, dozens of people have gone missing in the past few days?" Qi An frowned.
"Yes, boss." Tie Dan gritted his teeth.
"It must have been those damned Japanese devils. Among the missing people are men, women, and children. The people who went missing before were far away from us, so the news didn't get through."
"By the time we realized something was wrong, dozens of people had already been lost."
Qi An asked, "How did you find out?"
You see, the Japanese have been killed so many times recently that they no longer dare to openly harm the people as they used to.
Tie Dan replied, "It was Xiao Tao who discovered it. Sister A Fen from the village was pregnant, almost eight months along. Her husband and in-laws were killed by the Japanese. They hid her in the cellar to save her life. Sister A Fen had been cooking for the soldiers with the aunties in the village recently, and she disappeared just yesterday."
Qi An nodded. "I understand. Are there any leads at the moment?"
"No." After answering, Tie Dan hesitated for a moment, as if unsure whether he should say it or not.
Qi An noticed his hesitation and said, "Say what you want to say."
Tie Dan scratched his head: "Yeah, I don't know if it will work. When we went to gather information, one of our brothers could understand a little bit of the Japanese language. He seemed to understand a word, but I don't know if it was right, and I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the missing people."
Qi An was about to be driven crazy by his nagging: "Say it, what word?"
"Experiment...." Tie Dan thought for a moment, "Yes, it's an experiment. The Japanese seem to be talking about some kind of experiment."
experiment?
Japanese devils... experiment...?
People are disappearing one after another...
The Japanese experiments...
Qi An frowned more and more deeply, feeling that the two things were related.
In his previous, more advanced little world, he learned a lot of scientific knowledge in his spare time. He knew that some scientific experiments needed to be verified, but only white mice were used, not humans.
Now dozens of civilians have mysteriously disappeared, and it seems the Japanese are conducting some kind of experiment.
Could it be that they kidnapped the people to conduct experiments? Qi An wondered.
Whether it's true or not, we'll find out by going and seeing for ourselves.
According to the soldier who could understand a little Japanese, after the Japanese officer finished speaking, he gave an order, and then military vehicles drove into a mountain on the outskirts of town under the cover of darkness.
"No one lives in that mountain, and I don't know what they're doing there so late at night."
Qi An sneered: "Something's definitely up to no good. I have a feeling that these bastards are brewing some big move since they can't beat us."
Ata pondered, "It must be. The Japanese have suffered heavy losses recently, but they still haven't withdrawn from the south of the city. They must have some backup plan, but I wonder what it is?"
Qi An snorted: "It doesn't matter what it is, anyway, he'll be dead soon."
Qi An didn't waste a moment and led his men to the foot of the mountain.
Before even entering the mountain, Qi An's ears twitched, and his face instantly darkened.
Others couldn't hear it, but the beast's extraordinary hearing had confirmed his guess: the missing people were in this mountain.
"I'll go first, and everyone else will follow."
Before Qi An could finish speaking, he had already teleported dozens of meters away.
"Okay, boss."
The soldiers were used to it; they had long known that this incredibly capable young man was no ordinary person.
However, admiring strength is human nature, especially since this person descended from the sky and saved the entire South City from disaster. Everyone called him "boss" willingly.
Qi An followed the sound to the depths of the mountain valley. There, several air-raid shelters had been dug out in the middle of the mountain at some unknown time. A reinforced company of Japanese soldiers was on guard outside, armed with the most advanced weapons.
"Oh ho, it's heavily guarded. Looks like we've stumbled upon a really amazing place."
Qi An nodded: "That soldier must have heard correctly, this is a secret Japanese experimental base."
Qi An narrowed his eyes, wondering what kind of vicious experiments they were conducting, actually capturing the people of Nancheng for these experiments.
Saving lives is the priority.
Qi An was too fast. By the time the alert Japanese soldiers realized something was wrong, Qi An had already chopped off several heads.
When the Japanese soldiers saw that blood-stained black longsword, their legs almost went weak with fear.
During this time, images of this person had already begun to circulate among them.
In the eyes of the Japanese soldiers, this man who wielded a long black sword and reaped the lives of countless of their samurai, a monster that bullets and cannons could not penetrate, was a death god-like being.
None of the Japanese soldiers who encountered him survived.
Right now, they've been targeted by death.
