Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 380 Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it Wang Yi!

The sound of artillery fire and circling fighter planes became the main theme of the city after the war in the Songhu battlefield was reignited.

The entire Battle of Shanghai can be roughly divided into two phases. The first phase was a battle between the National Army and the former Imperial Navy in the three areas of Hongkou, Zhabei and Yangshupu, which was the "Ten-Day Siege" military operation initiated by the National Army.

The intention is to drive the old imperial navy into the sea.

But this operation has been declared a failure. The old imperial navy headquarters could not be pushed away, and Huishan Wharf could not be taken down. If Wang Yi had not captured the enemy at the beginning and bought the national army a few days of mediation time to reorganize the troops, this war would have become even more brutal.

The second stage was the handover between the Old Empire Navy and the Old Empire Army that had arrived. The Old Empire Army launched a landing battle, landing in areas such as Wusongkou, and pushing forward from the outside to the inside.

However, due to Wang Yi's obstruction, the hostility between the Old Empire Navy and the Army was so intense that the Old Empire Navy stabbed the Army's elk in the back and provided the National Government with the specific landing location and time of the Army's elk, thus delaying the landing of the Army's elk.

This allowed the Nationalist army to arrive in place ahead of time, and after the old imperial navy went down the river, they won a few small victories.

However, this could not change the advantages and disadvantages between the two countries' armies. Even if they were stabbed in the back by the navy and the intelligence was betrayed, the old imperial army relied on the fighter planes and warships they had developed to bombard the national army on the shore with their advantage in sea and sky, and relied on their firepower advantage to capture Luodian.

At the same time, the old Imperial Army still had some spare strength and directly sent out the idle fighter planes to fly to the city. They hovered low in the city, or outside the public concession where the Continental Hotel was located, keeping a close eye on Wang Yi and his men hiding in the Continental Hotel.

This group of Japanese strangers staying in mainland hotels serve as a tip-off.

As soon as Wang Yi's people made any moves, they would inform the fighter planes hovering at low altitude, and the other side would launch a wave of machine gun fire.

Their ideas are simple and straightforward.

Right now, we are in the urban area of ​​the Songhu battlefield. The 88th, 87th and 36th Divisions that were previously responsible for the "Ten-Day Siege" military operation have switched from offense to defense. As the last line of defense in the urban area, although they are strong soldiers, they have no air defense means.

We know that you, Wang Yi, are a land immortal, but the people under your command and the national army in the urban area are not.

If you can protect yourself, can you also protect so many people?
As long as we arrange fighter jets specifically to conduct uninterrupted low-altitude patrols, harassment, and bombing in this area of ​​the city, you, Wang Yi, must take care of it, otherwise you can only watch us bombard it indiscriminately!

It was a clear conspiracy, but Wang Yi had no choice. Considering the war potential of both sides in the early stage, simply exchanging pieces and causing sabotage would not have much effect.

Outside the city, there were bursts of artillery fire.

Even if the elite National Army reinforcements learned in advance about the landing location, battle plan, and strategic deployment of the former Imperial Army, they only took advantage of the first-hand counterattack.

The national army, which had no advantage in sea and air, was defeated step by step under the completely unreasonable sea and air bombing of the Old Imperial Army. More and more fighter planes of the Old Imperial Army were sent to hover at low altitudes in the city, showing off their power and keeping an eye on Wang Yi's surprise force, while also spreading battle reports to the city.

These battle reports were publicly available from the front lines, and what they said was nothing more than informing the citizens in the urban area, including the concessions, that the elite troops mobilized by the National Government could not stop the advance of their old imperial army.

Several strategic locations are about to be captured. Whether you are the national army troops stationed in the city or the citizens living here, you'd better not have any illusions or try to make any futile struggles.

Although it may sound exaggerated or boastful, the facts are before us.

More and more Old Imperial Army fighter planes were circling at low altitudes over the city, which showed that the Nationalist Army troops on the front line were unable to put too much pressure on the Old Imperial Army troops in the landing operations. That was why these enemy planes could so leisurely and unscrupulously circle over the city airspace as if they were in an empty space.

Inside the concession, Wang Yi was holding a leaked front-line war report, while in the hotel lobby, the group of Japanese aliens who had checked in according to the instructions of the former Imperial Army Headquarters and were responsible for surveillance and tip-offs were laughing and celebrating loudly, making it very lively.

Of course they were happy, after all, it was not the first time they had dealt with Wang Yi.

They also understood that if they really had to fight against aliens, at least those guys who were sent by the Japanese military to follow Wang Yi would be waiting for death when facing Wang Yi.

It's not that there are no masters in the Japanese alien circle, but those masters cannot be arbitrarily ordered or dispatched by the military. The relationship between them and the military is more of a cooperative relationship.

Just like the Higashiyama Ninjas, they are from small sects and factions who are dispatched by the military to carry out missions. They are independent people with no power or influence and are not from the Chinese ethnic group. Naturally, they have to take on this kind of hard, tiring and even life-threatening work.

However, now they do not need to confront the special forces led by Wang Yi head-on, they just need to keep an eye on them and pass on messages, and leave the rest to the army to handle.

Their own army was winning battles one after another on the front line, while the enemy country's top masters who could easily kill them could only stay in a mainland hotel like them, unable to do anything to them, nor could they attack them at will. Nothing could make them happier than this.

They were spending lavishly in the lobby with the funds provided by the Army Headquarters to celebrate the victory on the front line, while Wang Yi was standing upstairs, holding a military newspaper in his hand, just looking at them without saying a word.

The Quanxing disciples who had received Wang Yi's guarantee before chose to turn a blind eye and locked themselves in the room to isolate themselves from the harassment from these Japanese aliens as much as possible.

'Om! '

Another enemy plane flew low in front of the Continental Hotel, causing the Japanese strangers sitting by the window to cheer.

Wang Yi just watched the enemy plane gradually gaining altitude, muttering to himself.

'One, two, three... good, more and more.'

That night, intermittent sounds of artillery fire could still be heard in the distance, and the Japanese aliens living in mainland hotels also chose to take turns to keep an eye on the situation, for fear of missing anything.

Wang Yi in the room just closed his eyes and meditated. As the ghost in the magnetic field martial arts left his body, Wang Yi, who left his physical body in the Continental Hotel, had already escaped from the Continental Hotel and the concession in an invisible state.

The front line of Luodian Town, which appeared outside the concession and had turned into a battlefield, appeared.

Looking at the devastated battlefield with corpses everywhere, the Luodian Town that had changed hands between China and Japan several times, and the old Imperial Army warships patrolling the sea, Wang Yi returned to the concession and entered the mind of Liu Wei, who was also living in the concession and was from the East China branch of the Soitong Company.

"Old Liu."

During this period, Liu Wei, who had been mobilizing supplies to support the front line, had just fallen asleep when he found Wang Yi's appearance in front of him. However, Liu Wei, who was already used to it, was not surprised and just laughed and scolded.

"You bastard, you had to find me when I was sleeping, trying to show me your ability to enter my dreams. It really made it difficult for me to sleep peacefully."

"You are my hidden chess piece left in Songhu. Since I have already cut ties with Sitong openly, it would be best if I don't get involved with you anymore. How are your preparations?"

"I have been very busy these days. I have already mixed people into the team transporting supplies and arranged them to be with those generals. What do you plan to do? I have also seen these days that the Japanese planes have been flying over our heads all the time, and they are just staring at you, the land god."

"We can't help it. The situation is stronger than the people. The Japanese have strong ships and powerful guns, as well as elite soldiers and generals. Even without those planes in the sky, they are confident that they can seize the positions from the Nationalist Army and advance slowly. They have the strength to do so. Even if we replace the Nationalist Army with our troops, with the same number of people and equipped with the Nationalist Army's weapons and equipment, I don't think we can win this battle. At most, we can lose less badly."

"Really can't hold it?"

Hearing Wang Yi's solemn answer, Liu Wei's heart tightened and he asked again.

"The soldiers are good, but the generals are not good, and the top leaders change their orders every day. We can't hold on."

“Then what’s the point of us doing this?”

"Do your best to consume as many elite Japanese troops as possible in the Songhu battlefield. The more we consume, the greater our chances of winning later."

"But our enemies are not just the Japanese."

"I know, but it's easier for us to take things from the Japanese than to take them from them. But I didn't come to you tonight to tell you this. Since you have already arranged the people, it's my turn to take action next. Keep an eye on those generals to prevent them from encountering any accidents."

"I understand. Then you..."

Liu Wei wanted to chat with Wang Yi for a few more words, but Wang Yi was nowhere to be seen.

Looking at Wang Yi's unpredictable methods, Liu Wei, who had lost his support, gradually became unconscious in his sleepiness.

After confirming from Liu Wei that his other team had been arranged in place, Wang Yi returned to the Mainland Hotel and entered the room where Wu Man, a famous Quan Xing celebrity, and the old patriarch of the Wang family were staying.

The old patriarch of the Wang family, who had a blood feud with Wu Man and could not let it go, left home alone and followed Wang Yi and others all the way to the Songhu battlefield, and kept keeping an eye on Wu Man, his enemy.

He just wanted to know whether Wang Yi's promise was true or not. He wanted to make Wu Man die a miserable death and make future generations forget his reputation after death and only know the evil deeds he did before his death.

Wu Man naturally didn't care. Having already attained the state of emptiness of the five aggregates, the only thing he wanted to do now was to repay more karma before he died. It didn't matter even if no one knew about the good deeds he had done and only knew about his bad deeds.

Just when Wang Yi had already escaped into the room of Wu Man and the old patriarch of the Wang family in the form of a ghost, Wu Man, who had been sitting in meditation, also opened his eyes and looked towards where Wang Yi's ghost was.

"Boss Wang, I'm visiting you late at night. Is there anything I can help you with?"

This was the first time that Wang Yi was directly noticed by others when his soul was out of body. Of course, except for the pervert Zhang Zhiwei, Wang Yi was sure that his trick was not good enough in front of Zhang Zhiwei.

Just by looking at Wu Man's eyes that had reached the state of emptiness of all five aggregates, Wang Yi inexplicably became calm.

"Don't misunderstand me, Master. I'm here to look for Patriarch Wang."

Wang Yi's voice rang in the minds of Wu Man and the old patriarch of the Wang family who was awakened by Wu Man. Although the old patriarch of the Wang family could not see Wang Yi, he also answered aloud.

"What do you want from me?"

"I want to see the magic painting skills of the Wang family, one of the four famous families, and their style of making the fake look real."

"Cheat those Japanese in this hotel?"

"Yes." "Why should I help you?"

"Because of this, Wu Man will not go out with us. He can only sit here with you, old man. This can be regarded as helping him to pay for his karma and not let him die a worthy death. If he takes advantage of others' misfortune, wouldn't that fulfill your wish? It proves that Wu Man's so-called letting go is nothing but a figment of the imagination."

"Okay, I promise, I can draw as many people as you want me to."

"Except you and Wu Man, I and the rest of Quan Xing."

"No problem, whenever you want."

"The results will be seen at dawn."

"can."

"Thank you."

Watching the old patriarch of the Wang family use his palm as a knife to cut open his palm, use his fingers as a pen, and use blood as ink,

Qi mixed with blood and began to sketch and paint. Wang Yi also left the room. In this way of ghost entering dreams, he conveyed the news of action at dawn to every Quanxing member in the Mainland Hotel, and then returned to his physical body.

Everything was done silently, and none of the Japanese aliens who were staying in the mainland hotel and were responsible for surveillance could detect the little tricks Wang Yi was doing.

Until dawn, the fighting between China and Japan broke out again outside the concession in Luodian, with the sound of artillery fire continuing.

There was no conversation that night. The Japanese aliens who took turns to keep watch in the mainland hotel also handed over as before, and then cheered as they watched their own fighter planes fly into the concession and circle low in the sky, continuing to shake the morale of Wang Yi's men.

However, today they also realized something was wrong, because they noticed that every Quan Xing member who came out of their room had a calm expression, and they just gathered together, staring at them, without saying a word.

This silent atmosphere also made these Japanese aliens feel like they were facing a formidable enemy. They woke up their accomplices who were preparing to rest, and also huddled together. The leading Japanese alien also cast his eyes on Wang Yi, who came out of the room at this time, full and ready to go out for a walk to digest his food.

"Mr. Wang Yi, are you planning to take your people to die?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yi, who was already standing in front of the hotel gate, just turned around and looked at the Japanese stranger and smiled.

"They came here to die in the first place. I just helped them to get a few more qualified people to take their place with them before they die."

"Really? I'm afraid they can't get past the fighter planes of our Great Japanese Empire outside."

"Whether they can pass or not, they have already made their own choice, so you don't need to worry about it. You should think about how to report to your superiors when the time comes. From what I know, if there is no kaishakunin, the death by seppuku is very ugly."

Ignoring the other party's threat and retorting, Wang Yi pushed open the door and walked out calmly.

The Japanese enemy planes that were originally hovering at low altitude in the concession also noticed the signal sent by the Japanese alien in the mainland hotel. They immediately increased their altitude and began to retreat, preparing to block Wang Yi's troops outside the concession.

But both the Japanese enemy planes hovering in the sky and the Japanese alien gang stalking in the mainland hotel discovered a problem.

That is, from beginning to end, Wang Yi was the only one who came out of the mainland hotel.

Although the hotel door was open, none of the people brought by Wang Yi followed. Just like before, they stared at the Japanese alien gang in the hotel.

This also caused the Japanese enemy planes, which were originally on high alert, to relax their vigilance.

They naturally had information about Wang Yi, and they also knew that the other party was an alien with the ability to stay in the air. Many masters had been defeated by Wang Yi, and even fighter planes had been shot down by Wang Yi.

But there was only one Wang Yi, and the Japanese side sent two joint air squadrons to the Battle of Shanghai this time. Two flight squadrons under the air squadron were dispatched just to be responsible for surveillance, with a total of more than 80 fighter planes.

There is such a huge disparity in numbers between the two. Even if Wang Yi has the ability to stay in the air and carry out aerial strikes, he can only assign a flying squadron to deal with it. The rest are more than enough to deal with those aliens who are stronger than ordinary people but cannot ignore bullets.

With this thought in mind, the two Japanese Army Aviation Squadrons stared at Wang Yi, watching him walk out of the concession and come to a relatively safe distance that would not affect the concession.

These Japanese fighter planes, which had been patient for a long time, formed a formation and dived at low altitude. The machine gunners loaded their guns and bared their fangs at the lonely Wang Yi.

The propeller roared and the gun muzzle under the belly of the plane spewed out flames like the scythe of death.

There were bursts of gunfire, and bullets hit the broken walls that had long been ravaged by the war, splashing up clouds of dirt. The road was also splashed with fragments and stones of varying sizes, making it bumpy.

Wang Yi stood where he was, with his hands behind his back, looking at the enemy planes approaching from the sky, and the lines of gunfire coming at him from the ground. With Wang Yi's eyesight, he could see the smug and ferocious expressions on the faces of the enemy pilots in the front row.

His response was also simple.

Magnetic field martial arts·gravity field!
The invisible and intangible magnetic field formed a gravity field in the place where the enemy planes must pass. All the bullets shot at Wang Yi lost their accuracy under the influence of the gravity field and flew around.

As the leading enemy planes passed over the gravity field, their fuselages began to shake under the influence of the gravity field, instantly causing these former Imperial Army Aviation pilots to become flustered, and even the flight speed of the enemy planes was affected.

Only then did Wang Yi slowly speak.

"Everyone, you have been holding back for too long. It's time for you to show off your skills."

"Order!"

Voices responded from the ruins of the buildings on both sides of Wang Yi, and then the pilots of the leading enemy planes that were affected by the gravity field released by Wang Yi saw the last scene of their lives.

Dozens of figures suddenly emerged from the empty buildings on both sides, like jackals that had been waiting for a long time.

They either used local materials or gathered Qi to form a weapon and then threw it at the unsuspecting enemy plane in front of them.

For a moment, various colored Qi balls, sharp wooden stakes, and half-human-sized stones covered the enemy planes.

However, the wood-clad iron propeller reconnaissance aircraft's defense was like a layer of window paper that broke with a single poke when faced with such intensive blunt force attacks with extremely strong penetrating power.

The three propeller fighters disintegrated in mid-air, and the pilots and machine gunners inside, along with their own planes, turned into parts all over the sky.

Such a sudden attack, with the three front-row fighters disintegrating in this way, also immediately affected the vision of the Japanese enemy pilots who wanted to follow up.

Out of instinct, the following enemy planes also directly increased their altitude and flew past Wang Yi and his men.

The frightened Japanese enemy pilots also shouted loudly in their planes.

"What's going on! What are the spies in the concession doing? Didn't they say there was only one target? Where did these people come from?!"

Wireless communications were not well developed in the early days of the war, at least on the old Empire side. In most cases, flying squadrons communicated with each other through writing boards and gestures through windows.

They used curses to vent the fear of having just escaped death, and at the same time they felt humiliated.

In this agricultural country where the air force and air defense capabilities are almost equivalent to those of a non-existent country, these imperial pilots were actually tricked by the enemy and shot down three of their enemy planes in this way.

This kind of shame must be paid for with blood!
The flying squadron re-formed itself, made maneuvers at high altitude, and returned.

This time they learned their lesson and maintained their altitude, while also asking the machine gunner in the cabin to open the hatch and prepare to drop bombs.

They just didn't believe that this time, these guys who were not even soldiers would have the air defense means to deal with them.

Of course, these Quanxing members don’t have it. Even Wang Yi himself does not have the means to deal with high-altitude bombing for the time being.

But having no means doesn’t mean having no solutions.

Just as the two former Japanese Empire Army Aviation Squadrons were rearranging their formations and preparing to use bombs to strike hard at all members of the entire group, a sharp-eyed Japanese pilot also noticed it.

These guys who got the advantage did not flee in all directions because they came back. He also noticed that among the attackers below, the only one missing was the figure who was standing on the ground facing them in a long gown at the beginning.

A shadow fell in front of the pilot in the sunlight.

This also made the pilot who was doing evil in another country's airspace confused. Is this shadow a bird? Is it a plane? Or...

He looked up and his pupils contracted sharply.

I saw that the figure that was on the ground just now was now standing above my head, looking down at me with an expressionless face.

The three levels of reverse birth: gathering shape and dispersing energy!

Magnetic field martial arts, mind control!

Thick white Qi was released from Wang Yi's body, instantly covering the enemy plane he was standing on, as well as the mental control he had released specifically for the crew members of the plane.
