Chapter 710: Gazi: Japs, the Times Have Changed! (7/7, please subscribe)

Pfft-pfft-pfft!

Gaizi used true qi to sweep up the loose stones and clods of earth from the ground, then with a wave of his hand, hurled them outward.

Under the force of his formidable true qi, those stones were more powerful than bullets, each one piercing straight through a Jap.

A light clatter was heard, and a great swath of the Kameda regiment's Japs lay dead.

"Not good—ambush!"

Such a huge commotion naturally could not escape the Japs' notice. The next moment, the Japs rushed out of the barracks in panic, faces wary, yet saw no enemy.

Pfft-pfft-pfft!

Just as the Japs stood dumbfounded, another shower of stones rained from the sky, sweeping away every Jap on the spot and leaving only the Kameda regimental commander standing there in a daze, trembling all over with fright.

Tatta-tatta!

The sound of footsteps rang out, and a burly great fellow strode out from the shadows.

Kameda looked over and hurriedly drew his pistol to fire.

Bang-bang-bang!

Gaizi narrowed his eyes. Without the slightest movement, the bullets he had fired stopped in midair, then went tinkling and clattering to the ground.

"Immortal!"

Gaizi circulated his true qi, restored his original appearance, and said, "It's your Grandpa Gaizi! Little Jap, prepare to die!"

Kameda's face was one of utter horror.

He had never imagined that the one who wiped out his entire regiment was actually a child!!

"Is this country truly this terrifying?" The thought flashed through Kameda's mind, and then Gaizi crushed him into a ball of meat paste.

"Urgh!"

The next moment, Gaizi, who had been all cocky a moment ago, threw up, his face going pale.

He was only a child, not some homicidal maniac, nor a seasoned veteran of the battlefield.

His earlier composure had only been because he was using true qi to suppress the queasiness in his stomach.

Now that the enemy was all dead, the moment he let his guard down, he immediately smelled the thick blood everywhere and couldn't help retching it all out.

After vomiting for a while, Gaizi finally felt a little better.

Gazing over the entire deathly silent camp, Gaizi's expression shifted. He manipulated his true qi to sweep up all the rifles, ammunition, Qian Liang and other supplies, then with a single leap, vanished into the sky.

Half a day later.

The situation of the Kameda regiment was discovered, and instantly the entire county seat exploded into an uproar.

"The Kameda regiment has been completely wiped out!"

"Which force is it that struck?"

"Too incredible—a regiment of over a thousand men, dead to the last without a sound. According to the advisor who inspected the scene, they were all killed by loose stones and clods of earth. That's pure nonsense."

"Exactly—how could loose stones and clods of earth possibly kill people?!"

"In my view, these people are getting more and more useless!"

While the others refused to believe it, Luo Jinbao believed it completely.

He was now worrying over this very matter!

At dusk, he was just preparing to carry out the mission assigned from above, when he saw rain begin to fall from the sky.

It was a rain of bullets.

Crate after crate of gleaming rifles dropped from the sky, and even a few crates of grenades.

Luo Jinbao was scared half to death, terrified the grenades would blow up and send him to the Western Paradise.

Although he himself was not afraid of death.

Yet some deaths weigh heavier than Taishan, and some lighter than a goose feather.

To die for his country, he was willing; to be blown to bits for no reason, he felt it would be a bit of a wrong.

"Ten li west of the city there are more supplies. Within ten days, send men quickly to fetch them."

Suddenly, a calm voice drifted down from the sky, and then vanished without a trace.

Luo Jinbao stared up at the sky, unable to come back to himself for a long time.

"Could it really be that a divine spirit has descended upon the world?"

As a soldier of materialism, he felt profoundly shaken.

After waiting a while, he finally threw on his coat and went into the county seat to gather news—and then heard the report that the entire Kameda regiment had been annihilated.

"Looks like all these supplies were captured from the Kameda regiment," Luo Jinbao said in shock. "This divine being is truly fearsome—to have killed off an entire regiment."

One had to understand that the Japs of this period were well-equipped, and a single regiment's worth of men could easily crush a ragtag Nationalist division (3,000 men).

On the defensive, a single regiment could even hold off an enemy six or seven times its size.

Without a numerical superiority of more than tenfold, it would have been utterly impossible to swallow such a regiment whole.

The reason was simple: the country of that period was far too poor, its equipment and training could not keep up, and it suffered terribly for it.

The moment Gaizi struck, he silently and without a trace annihilated an entire regiment of Japs.
