Story
The Imperial Japanese Army started to fall during the late years of WWII. The Japanese war economy needed more infantry stations,docks and aircraft ports. The Tashioyama beaches was a perfect location to start a base and get another chance against the USA and regain their territories.

However, peasant villages have already been built in Tashioyama. The local peasants needed their civilization. They could not let the Imperial Army to start a base in their land. The Imperial Army started making threats until they start the base. The threats were brutal, such as local peasants being hanged by their necks to trees. Women and children getting missing everyday. Dead bodies found on beaches.

Hideki Yamawara (Village Founder), rebelled and told the other guerrilla peasants to kill every Imperial soldier that stepped foot on the Tashioyama beach. The Imperial Army then sent troops to the beach. The battle only lasted for about 7 days/1 week.

The Tashioyama peasants had out-dated bolt action rifles. Most of them were worn out. So they were forced to use Katanas,Machetes and spears. This gave the Imperial Army the advantage for their Arisaka-Bayonet Banzai attacks. General Jyunji Kotoburo (Imperial Army) ordered over 950 men equiped with Arisakas,Type 100 Submachine guns,Type 99 Machine Guns, Type 3 Heavy Machine Guns and much more. General Jyunji Kotoburo stated "Tanks and Artillery are not needed". Meaning he says the Peasants are weak.

The Tashioyama peasants often looted the Imperial Army equipment after they have killed them through Guerrilla-Tactics. That gave them the advantage for better equipment.

The ending resulted to the Tashioyama Peasants surrendering. Hideki Yamawara died in action.
