Not long after, a village engulfed in flames suddenly appeared before everyone.

Outside the village, three soldiers wearing Tokugawa army armor were absent-mindedly guarding about a hundred military horses. Their eyes were always staring at their fellow soldiers who were doing bad things in the village with relish, pointing their fingers at them, without any sign of vigilance at all.

In the village, the soldiers of the Tokugawa army rushed into every house like wolves and tigers. Their faces were ferocious and their eyes flashed with greed and cruelty.

These soldiers had no mercy at all. They launched a frenzy of burning, killing, looting, raping and pillaging against the unarmed villagers.

The village was filled with smoke and flames, and cries, pleas for mercy, and screams echoed throughout the sky...

Platoon Leader Li stood on a distant hill and saw clearly everything that happened in the village through the telescope.

He clenched his fists, his heart filled with anger and grief. He gritted his teeth and said, "These guys are worse than beasts. They can even be so cruel to their own compatriots! If I don't tear you into pieces, it will be unjust!" His voice was filled with endless indignation and determination.

Then, he calmly gave the order: "Everyone dismount and attack on foot! Squad one will go around the enemy from the left, squad two will outflank the enemy from the right, and squad three will attack from the front. All platoon members, take your positions, wait for my command, and be ready to open fire, but be careful not to injure innocent civilians!"

After completing the deployment, Platoon Leader Li personally led the third squad and advanced quietly and stealthily towards the village.

When they were approaching the herd of horses, the Tokugawa soldiers in charge of guarding the horses were staring at the direction of the village. The three were still talking and laughing, completely unaware that death was approaching step by step.

When Platoon Leader Li saw the scene, he made a gesture of wiping his neck without hesitation, suggesting that the soldiers should be ready for action.

The third squad leader, along with two battle-hardened warriors, moved forward cautiously. Their movements were as light as ghosts, as if they were afraid of alarming the three absent-minded Tokugawa soldiers.

When they were only a few steps away from the enemy, the third squad leader suddenly jumped up and led two soldiers to rush forward at lightning speed like a tiger descending from the mountain.

In an instant, the sharp bayonet flashed with cold light and ruthlessly pierced the enemy's body.

Five minutes later, twelve soldiers from the third squad were already lying in ambush at the entrance of the village. They were like a well-trained hunting team, quietly waiting for the best opportunity to come.

Just wait for the first and second squads to complete the flanking mission from the left, and then we can launch a thundering attack.

Fifteen minutes passed, and Platoon Leader Li watched the movements ahead closely through binoculars.

When he saw that the first and second squads had successfully arrived at the designated location, he immediately picked up the Mauser rifle in his hand and aimed the crosshairs at a Tokugawa soldier who was doing evil.

With a crisp gunshot and a "bang", the Tokugawa soldier felt a chill on his back and chest, then fell heavily to the ground, dying on the spot.

The Japanese devils around were stunned for a moment and didn't know what was happening.

At this moment, dense gunfire resounded through the sky, and bullets rained down on the invaders. The defenseless devils were shot and fell to the ground one after another, and the scene was very chaotic.

After a brief panic, the Japanese finally realized that they were surrounded. So they began to organize themselves and tried to find a breakthrough to break out towards the village entrance.

The Japanese held their muskets high and fired wildly at Li and his men. However, since the position of the third squad at the entrance of the village was more than 100 meters away from the Japanese, and the range of the muskets was only 70 meters, these bullets posed no threat to the Tiandi Army soldiers.

At this time, Squad One and Squad Two discovered that the Japanese were trying to break out of the village entrance, and they immediately rushed forward without hesitation, further tightening the encirclement.

The Tiandi Army originally formed a triangular encirclement posture, trapping the Japanese soldiers in the village.

At this moment, the remaining 60 or 70 Japanese soldiers saw that they could not break through the encirclement, so they had no choice but to hide in the houses of ordinary people. Some Japanese soldiers even took some ordinary people hostage and shouted loudly out of the window: "Don't come closer, otherwise we will kill these innocent civilians!"

Faced with this situation, the Tiandi Army soldiers were caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, they could not let these hateful devils escape; on the other hand, they could not harm innocent people.

At this critical moment, Platoon Leader Li made a prompt decision and decided to start negotiations with the Japanese.

He shouted to the Japanese in the house through an interpreter, saying that as long as they laid down their weapons and surrendered, he would guarantee not to harm any civilians.

At the same time, he also warned the Japs that if they continued to resist, the consequences would be disastrous.

After a thrilling negotiation, it finally came to the critical moment of life and death. Faced with strong pressure and the power of justice, those brutal devils had to make a difficult choice - surrender!

When these once arrogant devils laid down their weapons and tied each other up according to the Tiandi Army's request, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely solemn. Platoon Leader Li looked at the group of frenzied enemies in front of him with a cold gaze, his heart filled with anger and hatred.

He called the translator who was accompanying the team and solemnly conveyed the verdict of the Tiandi Army: "In view of the evil deeds you have committed in the village, on behalf of the Tiandi Army, we sentence you to death!" This decision was like a blockbuster bomb, instantly detonating the fear and despair deep in the hearts of the Japs.

However, these Japanese soldiers, who had long been accustomed to evil deeds, did not give in easily. They began to curse loudly, accusing the Tiandi Army of not following martial ethics, and even begged for mercy and cursed. For a time, shouts, cries for help, and curses resounded throughout the battlefield.

But how could Platoon Leader Li be shaken by the words of these shameless people? He waved his arms without hesitation, and the soldiers in the whole platoon raised their guns in unison, firing rounds of dense bullets at the enemy like raindrops.

After three rounds of fierce volleys, these inhumane Japanese soldiers finally fell in a pool of blood and received the punishment they deserved.

This extremely fierce battle fired the first shot of the decisive battle of Kyoto, and it demonstrated in a shocking way the cruel, ruthless and inhumane nature of the shogunate army that grew up under the influence of Bushido ideology.

These soldiers, poisoned by the Bushido spirit, seemed to have lost the most basic respect and compassion for life. They killed indiscriminately on the battlefield, and wherever they went there was blood and death.

However, facing such a brutal enemy, the Tiandi Army did not retreat even a step! On the contrary, they showed unimaginable courage and indomitable fighting spirit. Every Tiandi soldier knew that he had the responsibility to defend justice, so they threw themselves into this life-and-death struggle without fear.

During the battle, this small team of the Tiandi Army worked closely together and coordinated well, giving full play to their respective advantages and skills.

They used fearless courage and superb tactical skills to deal a heavy blow to the shogunate army, and told the enemy with cold and decisive actions: the army of justice will never tolerate the rampant evil!
