One man's resistance against Japan, I mobilized a million people to aid Shanghai.

At the foot of Jinzhou City.

Terauchi Hisaichi had just seen the dawn of victory when he heard the news of Bai Qi's attack, forcing him to withdraw part of the Kwantung Army to defend Fengtian.

But before he could act, a deafening roar suddenly resounded throughout Jinzhou City.

"kill!!!"

The shouts of battle were deafening, and even from thousands of meters away, Terauchi Hisaichi could still feel the overwhelming killing intent.

All the Japanese soldiers inside the bunker, including Terauchi Hisaichi, were startled and turned their heads in horror to look in the direction of Jinzhou City, even though the thick bunker walls blocked their view.

"What's going on?!"

Terauchi Hisaichi asked sharply, his ominous premonition instantly reaching its peak.

"What happened at the front? Was it Zhu Ganglie's counterattack?"

"Impossible! Where would he get the troops?! Aren't his main forces all in Southeast Asia?"

The officers at the observation post had already rushed to the high-powered telescope, frantically adjusting the focus, trying to penetrate the yellow-green poisonous fog and see the scene inside the city.

"Your Excellency! The city...the city! Jinzhou City!"

"A large number of unidentified people appeared, densely packed together in groups!!"

"So many, so many!! There's no end in sight!!"

The observation officer's voice was filled with uncontrollable horror.

"What?!?!"

Terauchi Hisaichi and Ishii Shiro rushed to the observation port almost simultaneously and grabbed the telescope.

Through the lenses, they witnessed a scene they would never forget, a scene that would haunt them forever—

Inside Jinzhou City, especially in the streets where fierce fighting was still taking place, behind the breaches, and in the open areas near the center, countless figures appeared out of thin air!

They were dressed in dark gray field uniforms, wearing German-style steel helmets, and carrying 98K standard rifles and RPGs.

These troops appeared precisely on the flanks and rear of the Japanese troops who had broken into the city, and even appeared directly in the middle of the Japanese attack formation!

Like a meticulously woven net of death, it instantly surrounded, cut off, and trapped the main force of the Japanese troops who had broken into the city amidst the ruins of Jinzhou!

"This...this is impossible!!"

A Japanese colonel screamed in disarray.

"Where did they come from?! From underground?! From the sky?!"

"It's Zhu Ganglie! It's that devil Zhu Ganglie's tricks again!" Another general's face turned ashen.

Terauchi Hisaichi's hand holding the binoculars trembled violently, his knuckles turning white from gripping them so tightly.

He watched helplessly as an elite imperial force that had just broken into the city was instantly wiped out by a gray infantry company that suddenly "appeared" from the flank with fierce firepower.

Watching countless gray-clad soldiers surge forth like a tide from the ruins, from the alleyways, and even from mid-air, slaughtering the lives of Imperial Army soldiers with overwhelming firepower and ruthless, efficient tactics...

This is not a fight at all.

This was a one-sided massacre!

"Bai Qi... Bai Qi has already deployed troops to the Yalu River, so whose troops are here...?"

Terauchi Hisashi's mind was in complete chaos, but an even more terrifying thought surfaced uncontrollably.

"Could it be... that Zhu Ganglie can simultaneously... operate in multiple directions...?"

He dared not think any further.

"Your Excellency! Urgent telegram from the front!"

Another communications soldier scrambled in, his voice trembling with tears.

"Fifth Division reports! An unspecified number of elite enemy troops have suddenly appeared in Jinzhou City!"

"Our assault troops have suffered a devastating blow! Communications across all regiments are in disarray. Requesting instructions! Requesting reinforcements! Or... or permission to retreat!"

"retreat?"

Terauchi Hisaichi whirled around, his eyes bloodshot, "No retreat!!!"

"Hold on! Hold on and wait for reinforcements! Immediately increase the deployment of poison gas and kill all these Chinese!!"

However, another observer reported in a trembling voice.

"Your Excellency! Outside the city!"

"Behind us, on the horizon... a massive cloud of dust appeared on the horizon!"

"There are... there are a large number of troops moving! They're moving extremely fast! Judging by their direction... they're heading this way... and towards our encirclement positions outside the city!"

"..."

The bunker fell into complete silence.

Only heavy breathing could be heard, along with increasingly clear and terrifying shouts and explosions from within the distant city of Jinzhou.

Terauchi Hisaichi slowly took off his glasses and wiped them listlessly.

The fervor on his face had vanished without a trace, leaving only a deathly pallor, a blank stare, and a deep-seated fear.

A fire breaks out in the backyard, the front lines collapse, Zhu Ganglie's reinforcements arrive incomprehensibly, and threats come from all directions...

All his calculations and "foresight" seemed so laughable and so powerless in the face of Zhu Ganglie's completely unreasonable abilities.

"Ishii-kun..."

Terauchi Hisayo looked at Ishii Shiro, whose face was equally pale, and asked in a trembling voice, "Your weapon... can it deal with... this kind of thing?"

Shiro Ishii opened his mouth, realizing for the first time how pale and insignificant his own bacteria and toxic gases were in this situation.

He could only shake his head with difficulty.

Temple Shouichi smiled miserably.

He looked at the map, then at the officers and soldiers around him who were dumbfounded.

Now is not the time to consider conquering Beiping.

The question now is whether he, the supreme commander of the Japanese forces in North China, along with his 500,000 troops, will be completely annihilated today, under the walls of Jinzhou, by this terrifying force that appeared out of nowhere?

"Order......"

Terauchi Hisaichi used all his strength to keep himself from collapsing.

"All troops... cease attacking Jinzhou."

"Switch to defense... no, prepare to break out."

"Report to headquarters: An unpredictable and dramatic change has occurred in the battle situation at Jinzhou."

"The enemy has deployed a large number of elite reinforcements using unknown means, and our army has been put in an extremely unfavorable situation."

"The North China Area Army... is in grave danger."

He paused, glanced at the direction of Jinzhou City where the deafening battle cries were still emanating, and added one last sentence.

"Zhu Ganglie is no match for him. Please take His Majesty the Emperor to Bald Eagle and request protection."

"In today's world, only the Western world can check and balance Zhu Ganglie. Tell those fools in the West that if they don't unite, they will be defeated one by one by Zhu Ganglie."

"By then, the entire world will belong to Zhu Ganglie."

"Gentlemen, let's prepare for the worst. Today, we may all... perish..."

The jade shattered.

This word was like an icicle, piercing the heart of every Japanese soldier inside the bunker.

They were just dreaming of victory, but in the blink of an eye, they have to face the fate of "shattering like jade".

However, listening to the increasingly close shouts of killing, like the footsteps of death...

No one raised any further objections.

Despair, like the poison gas outside Jinzhou City, spread silently.

They no longer seemed to be facing a human army.

Instead... it's a demon.
