The modern soldier accidentally traveled back in time to the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan and ended up as a foolish soldier. Witness how this foolish soldier disrupts the plans of the Japanese army. "Make sure to kill that dumbass!" said a high-ranking Japanese officer. "What is that dumbass up to today? Why haven't you sent someone to follow him?" said the political commissar. "Don't let the dumbass find out! If he does, we're done for," whispered a collaborator while doing something nefarious. "My troops have run out of bullets. Please send some to the outskirts of the city," wrote the dumbass soldier to the Japanese officer in town. Per the request, the novel's official title has been changed from "Dumbass Resists Japan" to "The Legend of the Spirit of Resistance Against Japan." ............... Ladies and gentlemen, witness the humorous resistance of the dumbass soldier. I recommend a book called "The Super University President."
